The woman that Selin and the others captured did provide some images of the murderer, and those images were retrieved from her memory.
oh! You must have never seen the magic of searching memories, right? !
I think I can proudly tell you that I, at the first scene, saw Lord Antonidas, one of the greatest mages, release this spell!
In a room filled with magic candles under the white stone spire, the snow-white-haired archmage drew a huge six-pointed star array, with complex lines winding inside the hexagram. His eyes were shining with arcane purple light, and while he was chanting incantations, he was injecting magic into different nodes of the magic circle one by one.
The huge magic circle was lit up bit by bit. When the last knot was lit up, the arcane energy surged through the lines of the magic circle like a torrent opening, and a roaring magic hurricane was also released.
oh!
I immediately took a few steps back, and Selin subconsciously blocked my way. I looked around from behind him and saw that the female thief was placed exactly in the center of the hexagram. When the magic light came on, there was a palm-sized phantom of the hexagram shining down from the top of the magic circle. , submerged into her forehead. Then, I saw her frowning in pain and opening her mouth to scream, but her voice was as small as a mosquito in the roaring energy wind.
Antonidas walked slowly around the magic circle, sometimes his incantations were high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched, and the heavy staff in his hand also followed the sound of his incantations, sometimes like the sun in the clear sky, sometimes like the moon in the dark night. His hair is flying, and his hair robe is dancing.
As the energy in the circle moved faster and faster, the light became more and more dazzling, as if it had become substantial. Soon, the figure of the thief disappeared in the dazzling light.
When the light reached its peak, it suddenly flickered violently. I immediately covered my eyes with my hands. When I looked over again, the thief had completely disappeared, and there was only one object in the center of the circle. A crystal glowing with black light remained.
The archmage's fluttering hair slowly fell down as the energy hurricane gradually subsided. He panted violently, almost putting his entire body weight on the staff, "Let's give it to Natalie to interpret. "
"No need, I'm right here!" A slightly hoarse female voice came from the door. Turning around, I saw a woman in black robes.
I don’t know how to describe her. She is the kind of person who is particularly eye-catching. She walks swayingly and has seductive ripples under her robe. She has a pale but beautiful face, but somehow, I always feel that her pale skin is burning with a dangerous black flame that I can't see.
When she came in, she nodded to Selin.
*
"Who is she?" I couldn't help asking Selin secretly, but the trainee knight was still staring at Natalie, unable to recover.
"Lady Natalie Serling is the Bishop of the Cathedral of Holy Light in Lordaeron." Darien answered me quietly before Serling could speak.
"She's so pretty," I poked Selin's ribs hard with my elbow, "right?"
"Oh..." Selin winced.
"Yes, she is one of the most popular instructors in the academy." Darien rushed to answer in my ear again.
I glared at him angrily, and the idiot was stunned as he didn't understand the situation.
As if she heard our conversation, Natalie turned back and glanced at us with a smile. That look... Even though I am a female, I still find it extremely attractive. For a moment, I seemed to hear countless gasps.
I saw her walking slowly to the center of the magic circle, picking up the black crystal, and the moment her fingertips touched, I saw a black light emerge from her palm, and then, from her other palm, Golden holy light emerged, and she clasped her hands together. Suddenly, the black light and the golden light intertwined with each other like snakes, and instantly turned into a pillar of light as thick as a person. In the pillar of light, she knelt on her knees and closed her eyes. Eyes with moving black swirls.
"Speaking of which, where did that person...that thief go?" After looking at her for a while, I asked Selin in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, Antonidas actually heard my voice, "She embraced the Holy Light, child." He looked directly at us, his voice was obviously very soft, but it made people's ears buzz, "She is left here. sin."
At that moment, I just felt that the very kind-looking Archmage was much more terrifying than his appearance.
*
"I think everything you want is here." At that moment, Natalie suddenly spoke.
Turning around, I saw that the black robe was already standing proudly. She then waved her hand, and suddenly, a black light spread out in the air like a translucent scroll. In those scrolls, there is a person wearing a black cloak. It is obvious that he is a male, but whenever he appears, the huge cloak covers his entire face.
They came into contact for the first time on a noisy street corner. At that time, besides the man in the black cloak, there were three other people, who must have been the three thieves.
In the deserted cemetery, they came into contact for the second time. This time, the image clearly showed a man whose face was burned purple-gray. He was handing a philosopher's stone to the man in a black cloak.
In the stinky sewer, they came into contact for the third time. This time, when Black Cloak dismembered the body, his chin with blue-grey stubble was revealed in the image.
"In other words, this mysterious black cloak hired these thieves to steal the Philosopher's Stone." Antonidas whispered, "Maybe he also hired many other thieves, but we don't know what he wants to do. ?”
"The Philosopher's Stone is a very good material for transmitting magic. Perhaps he wants to release some strange magic and then let some people see this magic." Natalie answered.
"...There is no front view? Lady Natalie?" After carefully identifying the pictures, Sadan asked respectfully. He lowered his head, but I still saw the blush on his cheeks that had not faded.
"Hmm, the clearest thing is this chin." Natalie smiled sweetly, tapping the picture that seemed to actually exist with her fingers painted with scarlet nails, "These stupid thieves didn't even bother to do anything until they died. It is clear who killed them, and they have no idea why they were killed."
"The mysterious man obviously doesn't want anyone to know what he did. Let our people suffer a little and patrol more," Antonidas ordered. "I hope nothing serious will happen."

There were more and more purple robes in the streets of Dalaran. They walked through the bustling crowd, scanning the faces of every pedestrian with their sharp eyes.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the "Blue Boy" had quietly appeared as a vague white shadow on the horizon.
We had just returned from Purple Robe's headquarters. Sadan told us that since the thieves who coveted my eyes had been caught, we could go back to our hotel.
"Do you think they can be found?" I asked Selin, who was walking side by side.
The trainee knight shook his head, "All we saw was that man's chin."
"So, they can only deal with emergencies, right?"
Selin sighed softly.
"Speaking of which, did Ms. Natalie teach you? Selin? You should have taken tutoring at the Holy Light Academy in Lordaeron."
That sentence made Selin stunned for a moment, and then he scratched his head, "...uh...I went to sit in on her class..."
"Oh, listen." I snorted, but the trainee knight was already looking into the distance with blurred eyes. That look made him pout bitterly, "Does it look good? Is she in class?"
"Good looking... Oh no! Miss Messiah, I mean I learned a lot from Ms. Natalie..."
"Oh! Stop talking! Don't I know yet?!"
*
The Hero Hotel is in front of us, and the lobby on the first floor is still noisy. Only the landlady knew what happened last night. When she saw us coming back, she cheered and came up to us, "Holy light bless you, just hope everything is fine." As she said that, she hugged Selin's arm affectionately and looked at her carefully. He said, "Lord Knight, your eyes?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm completely fine now."
"You must eat in the hall. I'll make salt chicken for you!"
Seeing the landlady leaving happily, I couldn't help but glare at Selin again.
"What, what's wrong? Miss Messiah?" Perhaps he was startled by my eyes, and the trainee knight was speechless.
I stared at him for a while, then pulled out the chair and said, "Sit!"
But at that moment, just when Selin and I were about to sit down, a violent explosion suddenly sounded!
boom
That sound shook the entire hotel and shattered several glass windows!
"ah!!"
"What happened?!" In the rain of smoke and dust, the guests in the hall shouted in panic.
"I'll go take a look!" Selin stood up.
"I'll go with you!" I immediately followed him.
The explosion came from a workshop on Alchemy Street. When we got there, a large group of people were already gathered there, and thick smoke billowed out from inside, as if it would never end.
"Did the laboratory explode?!" Wendell's loud voice was extremely harsh in the crowd.
"Oh my god, Master Wendell, William and the others are still in there?! They haven't come out yet!" Someone shouted in panic.
"I'll go in and take a look!"
When I squeezed into the crowd, I only saw the small back of the dwarf mage.
It was completely dark, but the street lights were not on yet. In the darkness, the black smoke-belching workshop suddenly roared again, and suddenly countless cracks appeared on the wall.
The crowd groaned.
"It's still exploding inside," I subconsciously grabbed Selin's arm, feeling anxious, "Will Wendell die?"
The worry in Selin's eyes was clear. He seemed to want to say something, but before he spoke, I saw a small dark shadow running out from inside. He seemed to have tripped over something and suddenly threw himself on the door frame. .
"Cough cough cough!" The little shadow coughed heartbreakingly.
A mage immediately threw an arcane light ball into the air, and suddenly everything was bright. In that snowy light, I saw Wendell's face was charred and miserable.
"Quick, spread out!" He held on to the door frame and screamed, "Ahem, cough, cough! Inside, cough, there is a big monster inside! William is finished!"
Before he finished speaking, an extremely rough and low roar came from the depths of the thick smoke.
call
The magical wind was blowing slightly, blowing the thick smoke away. In the thick smoke, I saw a huge black figure standing behind Wendel. The dwarf seemed to freeze. He turned around mechanically, but was kicked out by a huge force!
"Ah! Be careful! Heart!" the dwarf mage screamed, flying like a cannonball, and falling five meters away with several people in front of him.
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
They fell so hard that they couldn't stand up for a while.
"Roar!" The big guy behind the smoke roared again at the door, his voice deafening!
Finally, it came out.
At this time, the "Blue Boy" was shining brightly in the sky. Under the bright white light, I could see it clearly. For a moment, I was stunned!
Holy light is on! So, what is that? !
*
That thing was covered in blood.
It only had the right half of its head, and its brain, still stained with blood, just hung on the skull.
His hands and feet were twisted outwards in an extremely uncoordinated manner, and they looked completely different, as if they belonged to two people and were forcibly sewn together.
His abdominal cavity was empty, with only a ball of blue flame burning in the blood, and half of his intestines still wrapped around it.
His left wrist was cut off, with a rusty and bloody meat hook inserted into it, and in his right hand was a steel claw wrapped with blood vessels!
Oh my god... shouldn't this kind of thing only appear in nightmares? !
"Abomination..." Selin beside me squeezed out the word through his teeth. He grabbed my wrist tightly and pulled me back. "This is a monster spliced together from corpse parts..." !”
*
"God of Magic, please listen to my prayer..." Someone began to chant a curse in a low voice. Soon, a dark purple arcane missile floated towards Abomination, but the arcane light ball with violent power It just makes the skin of the hateful explosion more bloody, and it has no effect at all!
"Roar" roared with hatred and anger, and suddenly raised his feet and rushed towards the crowd.
"Escape!" The mage who threw the arcane missiles yelled. In an instant, the dead crowd screamed and fled in all directions.
"Holy light! Monster!"
"Help! Help!"
"Ouch! My feet!"
Selin pulled me and hid in a dark corner. At that moment, he pressed my shoulder hard, "Messiah, listen to me and run to the headquarters of Purple Robe."
I grabbed his wrist, "What do you want to do?!"
"I have to go help Wendell!"
Looking back, on the other side of the street corner, I saw the dwarf mage still lying on the gravel ground. He seemed to be seriously injured. No matter how hard he tried, his face was distorted, he couldn't get up. At that moment, the hatred was only three meters away from him!
