Chapter 459: Prepare, dive into

After leaving the first court, Xia Duo did not go to perform the task at the first time. It took a month. Although he would not really wait until a month before starting his action, there was no need to go now.
Back at the residence, Xia Duo first inspected the scroll box, the standard box of the trial court, but the scroll inside was different, and the key was the [Dimensional Anchor].
Now that you know that the opponent entered the empire by mistake in the frontline transmission, it is impossible to prevent the opponent from transmitting again. Although this possibility is very small, after all, frontline soldiers rarely have high-level mages, mostly middle and low-level mages. Joint cast.
But there are things like magic scrolls, which humans have, and so do "demons"!
In addition to the [Dimensional Anchor], there are also some scrolls of protection spells and restriction spells, but the most are the judgment spells. Xia Duo probably guessed the role of these scrolls.
It seems that the residents of Little Goat Town will be screened again.
Tucked the scroll box and set it aside, Chateau took off the [Spell Reversal Ring] that had just been worn on Osker's side, and observed it carefully.
Due to a lot of surveillance in the Arcane Empire, none of his own magic items were used. This year he also mixed a judge-style robe and a light ring. This ring is all he has seen. The magic items are all ranked.
The whole body is gray with not-so-obvious silver patterns on the surface. It looks very ordinary, but under the magical vision, the dense strings of magic nets are linked to the ring, which at first glance looks like a small cotton candy.
According to Osker's guidance, Chateau carefully linked some of the strings of the magic net to him in a specific order, until the magical aura stabilized and tended to disappear again.
Xia Duo didn't try to analyze the [Spell Reversal] on this ring, this spell was not mastered by him, let alone "Eddie", it was early.
Link the ring to itself, play with it for a while, then put it on the finger again, the next step is the detailed plan.
It is foreseeable that Osker even took out the [Spell Reversal Ring], and there will definitely be detection spells following, so the actions he can take must conform to his current identity and personal settings.
"Eddie" has just become a middle-level mage, and the only 3rd-level spell he knows is [Flying]. Except for flying, no other 3rd-level spells can be displayed.
Even if the original low-level spell is upgraded to the level, it is difficult to pass it in time.
Therefore, if you can use a scroll to solve it, it is best to use a scroll to solve it. It is the most ideal state that you do not need to act in person.
Of course, for "Eddie", scrolls also take time to become familiar with, especially for spells such as [Dimensional Anchor]. If Chateau himself uses it, real-time spell casting is not a problem, but "Eddie" needs Extra practice.
...
In the next few days, Xia Duo went to the Fourth Court to retrieve the past case files about "Little Goat Town", and at the same time practiced strange magic scrolls in the magic practice field of the trial court.
When everything is "prepared", it is already three days later.
On this day, Xia Duo led 100 ordinary soldiers and set off from Kiran City. Not long after he left the city, he realized that he was being targeted by the discovery spell, and he knew where he came from without thinking about it.
Little Goat Town is not far from Kiran City, only less than ten miles away. Different from the main plane of Savile Town to Linshui Village, all towns here are connected to Kiran City by roads, and the traffic is very convenient.
In the past, the main industry in Little Goat Town was to raise sheep and supply the production of parchment paper. Later, papermaking was invented. Parchment paper was only used to make magic scrolls. Daily consumption was greatly reduced. So Little Goat Town began to reduce production. Planting, wheat, oats, carrots and the like.
On the way to Little Goat Town, Xia Duo recalled the record he had seen in the fourth court file. The most recent population statistics showed that there were more than 2,000 residents in Little Goat Town.
Excluding those who died naturally over the years and those eliminated from apprenticeship schools and magic schools, the total number will not change much.
It is not a simple task to find two hidden "demons" among two thousand people. After all, the reality is not playing games. The boss stays in place and waits for the players to fight and brush repeatedly.
If there is too much movement, maybe they just run away, then where will his task be completed.
When there was still some distance from Little Goat Town, Xia Duo ordered the team to stop, "You stay here, see my signal, come over immediately!"
Taking the hand crossbow and short sword prepared in advance from a soldier, and agreeing to the signal with the captain, Xia Duo went on the road alone.
If he can reveal the identity of a high-level mage, then he can take people there, and teleportation is not untraceable. If the opponent can't teleport, even ordinary people will be enough to encircle them.
But now, it can only follow the plan.
After activating the light body ring, and then using [Invisible], this "Eddie" body, Xia Duo actually recovered the agility of the body, and when he ran towards Little Goat Town, he didn't have the slightest effort.
When approaching the town, Xia Duo slowed down, but unfortunately, if you slow down, the footprints on the ground cannot be eliminated. Fortunately, there are often people walking around and the footprints are messy. As long as you don’t deliberately look for it, who would think What about an invisible person suddenly coming in in broad daylight?
While [invisible] could continue for a while, Xia Duo randomly found a house and went in. A young woman inside was cooking. Xia Duo didn't want to waste time, so she immediately cast the judgment spell-[instruct], and then appeared Body shape, ordered:
"Keep quiet and don't panic~EbookFREE.me~ I am a Level 4 judge in the trial court. I am performing a secret mission. I have a few questions to ask you."
[Instruction] This spell is a bit similar to [Confusion Effect] but with a certain compulsory effect, but it is not a percentage of usefulness. Some people are naturally more resistant to spiritual spells, and there is no way.
Perhaps the official status is more effective than the spell. Anyway, Xia Duo couldn't tell whether the man in front of him was because of the spell or the clothes on his body. In short, the other party was obedient.
Continue to cast [Inquiry], this spell can cover a field, and it is a waste to use it to ask a person alone, but Xia Duo still uses it for the sake of caution.
"Have there been any strangers in your town lately?"
"No."
Did not lie? Xia Duo was not surprised, thinking about the so-called demon, he would not show his identity and appearance in a fair manner.
"Is there anyone in town who has suddenly appeared rarely?"
The woman thought for a while, and finally shook it, but she came up with a conjecture, "My lord, the men in town have to call their names every day when they go to work. Only pregnant women may suddenly not show up."
"Then has anyone died in town recently?"
"Have."
"Who?"
"The man from the mayor's house, I heard that he was taken away by a wolf while he was at work the other day.
"..." Xia Duo was speechless, are there any wild wolves nearby?
There have been no large forests near the city of Kiran for a long time. They have all turned into farmland. There is only a hill near Little Goat Town. According to the fourth court file, there has never been a wild wolf attacking people in the past few decades. .
suspicious!
