Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 53 53. Investigation Report
The vampire kidnapping incident seems to be successfully concluded, but there are still many unsolved mysteries.

Shortly after Emma returned to the Academy, Lawrence sent a letter from his falcon, telling her some of the current findings.Because he felt that Emma was the person involved and should have the complete right to know.

The first is the autopsy of vampires and sirens, during which many problems were discovered.

In the past, after being exterminated by demon hunters, it was difficult to leave a vampire's corpse behind.Because the sun or mithril caused fatal damage, it would also cause drastic changes in their skin, flesh and bones similar to "incineration", and soon there was only a handful of black ash left.

But the corpse of this vampire has been completely preserved, as long as it is protected from light.Even Cass's great sword made of special materials only partially burned the fracture on his neck.

In this regard, experienced demon hunters assumed a possibility, that is, this vampire is still "quite young", and it is very likely that it was created within the past hundred years.

This is enough to explain why both Emma and Cass claim that he can "articulate communication" and use superb footwork and swordsmanship.Most vampires lose their humanity as they grow older, turning into bloodthirsty monsters who act purely on instinct.

Vampires who are less than a hundred years old are really rare.Whether they were created artificially or have special, unproven methods of reproduction, the creature is already teetering on the brink of extinction.

As for the siren with the head of a bird and the body of a bird, aside from the most uncharacteristic point of her presence in the Outback.The "burn" on her face was not really a burn, but a fester similar to that produced during the decomposition process of a corpse.

When this monster bird was still alive, its body had already begun to slowly rot.

According to Emma's description, before the magic circle on her clothes was cut, she was acting in a human form.This point has become unverifiable with the complete destruction of the magic circle.A more reasonable assumption is that it is some kind of illusion magic circle, otherwise it would be a bit far-fetched to completely change the bird body of a magical creature into a human body.

Speaking of the magic circles, the three defensive magic circles on the door panel were preserved intact, and they were cut and sent to experienced alchemists for research.It is said that they are all extremely delicate, and the three magic circles can cause different effects of fire, lightning strikes, and pain on magical creatures.

Although it is only written in a common ancient language, the structure of the magic circle is very rare and advanced. It is far beyond the system that is widely spread now, and its effect is far greater than that of the same type and specification of the magic circle.

According to the report submitted by the alchemist, these three magic circles are likely to be created by powerful mages or witches.

In addition to monsters, the exploration of the castle is also quite interesting.

First of all, this is a castle that does not exist in any records, although it now stands on the hills outside Catalia, dilapidated and without any sense of disobedience.It looked like any other castle that had been abandoned for one reason or another.

However, a building like a castle must have once belonged to a certain noble family, and relevant written records must have been left behind.The castle, which requires various approvals from the time of construction site selection, can find out the recorded historical evolution even if it has been abandoned for thousands of years.

But no, looking up jobs turned up nothing.The only thing that can be determined is that it was moved from elsewhere with some powerful secret method, and then hidden in the mirror magic.

As for the space inversion and space distortion that Emma said, with the shattering of the mirror image magic, they no longer exist.This can only be interpreted as an illusion.For example, the basement of Turin College was expanded with secret methods.

But that was already a powerful spell cast by the headmaster Lifru who was a witch, and the final result was only a maze.She thinks she can't do space distortion or something.

In addition to the complete remains of the girls in the eight rooms, incomplete remains in barrels were also found in the kitchen of the castle, which should have been artificially chopped.Presumably it was used to feed sirens, since vampires only need blood to survive.

It would have been horrific if the vampire hadn't been doing the job.It shows that the real mastermind behind this incident is still at large.

Emma had already mentioned this point. She believed that the one who used magic to kidnap and imprison the girl was a magician who looked like a little boy. He was blond and thin, and he called himself Deer Boy.It is very likely that he used clever transfiguration to hide his true face.

That is what Lawrence wrote in his letter.The letter also included three gold coins as an extra reward for Emma. After all, she only appeared as a decoy and did not need to participate in the battle.

After changing hands, Emma sent the remuneration she received earlier along with the three gold coins to Grandma O'Hara, and asked her to pass it on to Dani.P.S. Must be "earmarked for" - a professional caregiver for his mother, can't be saved, can't buy anything else.

I don't know if Dani will be moved to cry after receiving the money.Anyway, after making the arrangements, Emma felt a little more at ease.

Ms. Ruiwen is extremely satisfied with Emma's performance this time, so satisfied that she almost wants to recruit her directly.

You must know that everyone can say the four words "not afraid in the face of danger", but it is too difficult to actually do it.Emma's behavior after being kidnapped exceeded everyone's expectations.

Cass Barker, the lieutenant who fought with her, even used adjectives such as "heroic" and "fierce" in his report to express his admiration for this girl.You must know that he is usually known for his strict discipline in military training, and he is a strong player in the country when he marches and fights.

Although neither the vampire nor the siren was killed by Emma, ​​she only played an auxiliary role in the key battle.But just keeping calm in a critical moment, realizing the fact that magic is shielded and breaking the shield, so that the rescuers can arrive in time... Not many apprentices can do this.

No, even Ms. Ruiwen's "capable men" can't do it.

At least under the condition that "magic cannot be used", it can make most experienced female sorceresses panic.It is even more impossible to stab a vampire's eyes with an ordinary dagger.The sorceress' reliance on magic is like the effect of mithril weapons on the witcher, it is even more important than their arms.

But appreciation is all appreciation. For this second-year apprentice, as a teacher, there is really a limit to what she can do. After all, completing her studies is the most important thing for her at this stage.

Her magic power is still too low, and the spells she has mastered are far from enough, which makes her unable to become a competent free sorceress.

The ice flower is more than sufficient as the main attack method at this stage, but it is still too difficult to cause fatal damage to magical creatures.

The only thing Ms. Ruiwen can do is to force Vice President Passy to specially approve Emma to take the black magic research course in advance.

Under Emma's timely "increase", Hayward and Catalina also got their wish to choose courses in advance.The reason is that "studying in an environment full of seniors will be too stressful."

Because of this favor, Katarina couldn't help but twirled around Emma, ​​and kissed her face several times.After that, she tried to coerce Emma to choose a random piece from her jewelry box, but she was sternly rejected.The previous overly expensive necklace was still hidden in the deepest part of the drawer, hard to see.

After a long period of entanglement and discussion, this tug-of-war ended with Catalina contracting "all new books by horror novelist Nordens" for the next three years.
