Wizard: I can refine everything

"Lord Spencer, there is no need to say more polite words. I want to know the specific situation."

Li found a chair and sat down, then went straight to the topic.

"Okay, Lord Wizard. Three months ago, the police station in the city received a report from a woman who claimed that her parents disappeared three days ago and have been missing. The police officers from the police station went over to investigate. I didn't find anything unusual at first, but when I visited, I accidentally discovered that there were many vacant houses in the neighborhood where the woman who reported the crime lived.

Because the wizard stationed here had instructions to report if there was a large-scale disappearance of people, the police officers reported the news, and I also reported the news to the wizard. "

"So?" Richard frowned, "Are you going to investigate further?"

"Haha...this..." Spencer laughed dryly, wondering how they dared to investigate such a case involving wizards privately.

Richard sighed, it seemed that this mission was a bit troublesome.

"Do you have any records of your police officers investigating disappearances?"

"Yes, yes!" City Lord Spencer replied repeatedly.

"Get the records and take me to meet the wizard stationed here."

…

The garrison wizard's residence was not far from the official residence. Richard followed Spencer and walked a few hundred meters to the place.

This is a small house. The small garden in front of the door is neglected and overgrown with weeds. Other than that, this house looks no different from an ordinary residential house.

"Sir, I will prepare a record for you. When you meet with the wizard, I will..." Spencer asked.

Richard waved his hand, "Okay, go about your business."

Spencer was relieved, bowed slightly to Richard, and immediately left quickly.

Richard stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response from the room.

"No one?"

Richard frowned, and then showed a little magic wave.

There was a response now.

Squeak!

An old man with skin as rough as tree bark opened the door.

"Apprentice sent by the academy?"

Richard nodded, "Exactly."

"Then come in."

Entering the room, Richard immediately smelled a strong sour smell. The entire living room was full of garbage, and the sofa was also filled with dirty clothes.

"Don't dislike me. I'm an old man. No one comes over on weekdays, and the house is never cleaned."

The old man took a kettle from the kitchen and poured a glass of water for Richard.

"You...haven't done any research?" Richard couldn't help but ask.

In this house, Richard did not detect any fluctuations in magic power. Even the city lord's official residence looked more like a wizard's residence than this house.

"Research? Brother, I'm different from you. I've already graduated and have no hope of becoming a wizard." The old man laughed at himself, "And I've already learned enough. Can research be as fun as playing chess?"

As he spoke, the old man pushed the garbage on the table and took out a chessboard from somewhere.

The surface of the chessboard is clean and smooth, and it looks like an old item that has been used for a long time.

"Playing chess is much more interesting than reading."

Richard was stunned. The old man's open-minded attitude was different from all the wizard apprentices he had seen.

This old man seems to have thrown away his identity as a wizard apprentice and completely returned to the life of an ordinary person.

"Want to play a game? The rules are very simple." The old man said enthusiastically.

"No, I came here to ask about the mad wizard incident you reported." Richard shook his head and then got to the point.

"Have you visited the crime scene and found any clues?"

The old man shook his head in disappointment, "I just took a look. There were no traces of spells and no clues. Every household is normal. It seems that they just go out in the morning and then suddenly disappear."

Hearing this, Richard's heart sank.

There was no clue how he could complete his mission.

"Don't worry. With your status, the people in the City Lord's Mansion are at your disposal. Isn't it easy to find clues?"

The old man seemed to know what he was thinking and spoke slowly.

"In some aspects, mortals are no worse than wizards."

Richard sighed, it seemed he could only wait for Spencer's record.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more."

Richard got up and left. The old man didn't send anything away. He just placed a few chess pieces on the chessboard and started playing chess with himself.

It seems that this chessboard is the truth he pursues.

The records of the police investigation soon came into Richard's hands, and Richard immediately checked them.

"The Red Lord?" Richard pointed at a certain word on the record and asked Spencer.

"What the hell is this? Is there any religion in the city?"

Wizards don't believe in gods, or in other words, wizards don't believe in gods who can find their true form.

In the process of conquering other worlds, the wizard did not know how many creatures that claimed to be gods killed. Some of these things were world lords, and some were twisted evil spirits. But in front of the wizard, these things were just powerful indigenous creatures, the only ones that appeared. The function is to contribute knowledge on the wizard's anatomy table.

Of course, there are also believers in gods among wizards. These people are a branch of the soul school. They will imagine a god, then pray to it, offer magic power to it, and make this god become something similar to a warehouse.

When encountering danger, this god will return the power it usually stores to the wizard, thus achieving the effect of enhancing combat power in a short period of time.

This is a very partial spell, and even among soul wizards, these people are only a very small part.

"This... is indeed a religion," Spencer was a little confused, "but it should have been banned a long time ago."

"Cult?"

Spencer nodded.

"It is indeed a cult. This religion requires its followers to sacrifice human beings. Later, when someone reported it, the security team arrested their leader. This religion should also be disbanded.

Now I'm afraid there is a resurgence. "

Richard clicked on the term Blood Red Lord, and he had a feeling that this case should be caused by this resurgent cult.

"Let the people from the police station quietly investigate this cult and notify me immediately if there is any news."

"Your will, Lord Wizard."

Three days later, the police investigation results were placed in front of Richard.

"Sir, your wisdom is truly unparalleled. These missing people are all connected to this vortex god. They are all believers of this sect."

Next to Richard, Spencer flattered him with a flattering expression.

"These are not enough." Richard shook his head, "Let the people at the police station arrange an identity for me. I want to sneak into this sect."

"You want to go and investigate in person?" Spencer was slightly startled, "Isn't this a little too dangerous?"

"Danger?" Richard looked at him like a fool, "My Lord, you seem to have forgotten one thing, I am a wizard apprentice.

I am much stronger than those knights and high-level knights you have. "

Spencer's old face turned red. He actually forgot that the person in front of him was not respected because of his status.

Behind this respect is profound strength.
