Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

After all, according to common sense, Countess Xiazhi Winchester should have fled in a hurry after the demons broke through the western defense line.

What does she mean by locking the door?

Who would lock the door of their own house when fleeing?

Could it be that Countess Xiazhi left in a hurry and didn't move her things clean?

But is it possible that she still expects this lock with fluctuations in magic power to block the demons for her, and will she come back to get her own things until the day when the alliance reoccupied the city of Palgalo?

Although Ann and Isabella didn't notice this detail, Rose was confused.

This kind of magic lock is nothing new, but any noble with a wealthy family will still have a few of these locks at home.

After all, this world has extraordinary power, and even thieves have such strange things as "lockpicking".

Therefore, it is understandable that the lock has a corresponding upgrade.

but……

Generally, this kind of lock is used either in safes made of forbidden magic materials, or in cellar vaults with indestructible thick stones as doors and walls...

The floors and walls of the three-story building looked like ordinary wood. If the other party was determined to go in, they would just punch through the walls and door panels and it would be over!

In fact, Ann and Isabella also planned so.

The extraordinary professions of these two families are all warriors, a knight and a swordsman, even if they can't show their full strength now, it is still no problem to kick the wooden door across.

What hindered the two was mainly their conscience.

After all, Xiazhi Winchester is still a good nobleman, both Ann and Isabella have a certain affection for her.

And these two guys are also well-educated, and they still have some resistance to kicking other people's houses down.

But after thinking about it, Rose interrupted the entanglement between the two.

"This small building is weird."

Rose put her hand on the seemingly thin wooden door, and finally felt the presence of magic essence and silent magic power.

A very obscure magic circle is engraved on the door, and not only that...

The arrangement method of this magic circle is the type that Rose is most familiar with.

The magic flow at the edge of the magic circle did not form a closed loop, but extended outward, as if it was still connected to something.

Continuing to investigate, she found that the patterns of magic circles were also engraved on the mezzanine of the walls of this small building!

Although Rose has never seen the texture, she can roughly judge its function.

Each one is an advanced magic circle with compound functions of defense, detection, counterattack, and concealment.

"Sure enough, it is my favorite serial magic circle. It looks like an ordinary small building, but in fact, it is comparable to the mage tower just by looking at the outer wall." Rose sighed, "It seems that this Xiazhi Wenqie Sturt, is a powerful magician..."

Carving one's residence with a magic circle is also Rose's favorite.

So when I saw Xiazhi Winchester's residence here, it felt like meeting someone of the same kind.

It's no wonder that this place is locked up. This three-story building may not be broken open by ordinary abyss lords!

At the same time, Rose secretly thought it was a pity.

It seems that the Countess Xiazhi Winchester still doesn't realize that the magic circle for running is the most critical part... Otherwise, this small building could be completely moved away.

When Isabella heard Screw's praise, her expression became a little weird.

"No, Lord Rose, according to what my father said... she is probably an extraordinary ranger."

Combat professions among extraordinary professions can be roughly divided into six types.

Knights, warriors, and rangers for the fighting class; mages, warlocks, and priests for the spellcasting class.

Although the six professions all use magic power as a source of extraordinary power, their skill systems, fighting methods, and training techniques are completely different.

A mage who wants to be a part-time warlock, and a knight who wants to become a warrior, both of them basically need to be talented and coincident, so that both sides can achieve success.

The dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, which directly crosses the major categories, can only appear in the stories of bards.

Although rangers have multiple branches such as traditional rangers, archers, scouts, and stalkers...

But it is impossible for any branch to arrange a magic circle!

That is the patent of the mage!

Even warlocks and priests can't do it.

And an ordinary small building can be built to be comparable to a mage tower, an extraordinary mage...

It is more difficult to do it.

"Could it be that this noble girl hired a group of mages to arrange a magic circle with money?"

Rose felt a little guilty.

In this case, it can also explain why a countess with a powerful family lives so low-key in Palgalo.

The money might have been spent on arranging the magic circle for her.

Considering that this small building might be part of the property of a good countess, Rose also became more cautious.

"Then let's not brute force it..."

As she muttered, she began to use her magic power to analyze the weaknesses of each chained magic circle.

Although these magic circles are exquisite enough, in Rose's view, there are still many shortcomings.

"The connection between each other is too weak, and it doesn't take into account the situation after the flow of magic power is cut off..."

It is only necessary to temporarily block the links between the magic circles, and all the magic circles will become isolated and invalid.

It only took Rose more than ten minutes to temporarily disable all the magic circles here, which was not as long as the time it took to develop new spells for the treatment of those dragons.

However, she didn't completely destroy it. After about an hour, these magic circles will take effect again.

Rose felt that she essentially came to seek help from "Shazhi Winchester", and hoped to see if she had left any records and experiences about the "Church of the End", so as to judge the Where the hell are the guys hiding?

Therefore, helping her keep everything here as it is is considered polite.

He took off the invalid lock and pushed open the unpretentious small door without carvings. What was exposed behind the door was a simple interior that was quite consistent with the exterior style.

The corridors with wooden floors, the standing candlesticks used for lighting, the door frames, and the steps are not decorated too much. The first floor is a spacious and bright living room. The fireplace made of red bricks and the straight wooden chairs let Luo Si almost suspected that this was a blacksmith shop.

On the second floor are three bedrooms and a utility room for storage. Because the beds and furnishings in all the bedrooms are basically the same, Rose doesn't know whose room this is—maybe it is a guest room or a servant's room. Room.

The utility room wasn't much to gain either.

And the reason why it was excluded that it was Xiazhi Winchester's bedroom was because...

The Countess' bedroom is on the third floor.

-----

"Your Excellency Ashes, I heard from you that every fire king has its own special features, what about you?"

"As a mage, I know a little bit of everything."

A beautiful vintage signature, pointing to a figure hidden in Terra's history.

He once played the country in the palm of his hand, and never hid his real name. He overlooked mankind from the origin of history. We don't even know how long the road he has traveled, and we can't figure out what he is the limit of knowledge.

Now he has finally stopped and is willing to answer those mysteries for us.

Kelsey: "No, I didn't mean to say..."

Ashes: "That's right, it's right here."

Yes!Lord Ashes, the ancient hunter king from the legendary Fire Age, we have a few questions for you...

"I beheaded the Witch King, killed Xue Shan, the immortal black snake is in the wine tank, the specimen in the sea is in the laboratory, and Xi is my wife... I don't want to be a riddler, I am the answerer."

106 There Really Is a Secret Room!

After finding nothing in the first two floors, the three of Rose still feel that they came for nothing.

It looked like Shazhi Winchester had packed everything that needed to be packed except the furniture.

Moreover, after all, she has a "connection" with the End Yan Church, and the source is only the exclamation of a commoner heard by a magic dragon.

The magic dragon might have misheard, and the commoner might have mistook the Final Yan Church for something else.

Even if she really dismissed the End Yan Church many years ago, she might not know about these cultists, and just got rid of them by chance...

Moreover, even if it is true that Xiazhi Winchester is an expert in dealing with the "Final Yan Church", whether she has left any information about this church and has not destroyed it, and whether she has taken it with her when she leaves is another matter. It's the same thing!

Rose didn't have much hope for whether this trip would be fruitful, she just had a look.

After ascending to the third floor, the furnishings on this floor finally became a little less plain.

A bedroom with a huge soft bed, a study surrounded by layers of bookshelves, and a piano room with a Sig harp and several other Sig traditional instruments on the walls.

This is probably the place where the Countess named Xia Zhi lives in her daily life.

The bedroom was briefly searched, but nothing was found.

However, in the study room, when Rose and Isabella were looking at the books that mainly focused on music theory, ranger skills, Sieg and the general history of the mainland, trying to find out the content related to the "Church of the End", Ann But suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.

"what--"

"What's the matter, Ann, did you find anything?"

Rose and Isabella looked in Ann's direction at the same time, and found that she was holding a picture book in her hand.

The cover depicts two women with fragrant shoulders half exposed, half of their clothes off, embracing each other.

One was dressed gorgeously like an aristocrat, and the other was dressed like a mercenary.

There is also a title in Common on the cover.

"Handbook for Capturing the Heart of the Duchess!" "

An noticed the gaze of the two, and hurriedly stuffed the picture book back on the shelf.

"Nothing, I was wrong."

Ann said with some embarrassment.

But neither Rose nor Isabella was blind. On the contrary, both of them had very good eyesight.
