First discovering the problem with one of the trees, Melissa held the knife horizontally, stared at the surface of the straight wooden pile, and spoke slowly.
"The inside is hollow, and the sound is very hollow. I can just cut off the outer shell and make a small hole first."
She moved her wrist, and the sharp blade lightly scratched the bark of the tree, leaving a light and even mark.
Captain Blue Eagle used this action to tell everyone that his sword skills were very good and there was no need to worry about destroying the clues.
Several people quickly reached an agreement.
Soon, a dark hole appeared on the wooden pile, about the size of a palm.
Austin casually used a fire ignition technique to illuminate the entrance of the hole, but he could only see wrinkled tan.
"What is this, a rag?"
Others were still confused, and Melissa was ready to make another cut, but Mogan's eyes froze because of this insignificant field of vision, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Just cut it open and there's a person inside."
Although she looked unconvinced, Melissa was very decisive. With a wave of her hand, she opened a big hole in the tree stump, and the whole body of the person huddled inside with eyes closed was revealed.
"dead?"
Austin's expression turned bad and he took half a step back.
"Alive, not breathing, maybe enchanted." He could vaguely see the rise and fall of the person's chest. Mogan also explained why he knew too quickly, "This piece of clothing is the uniform of the inspector of Port Saint-Lun."
He saw it once near the beach and naturally had a basic memory.
Melissa stood at the front and saw that the unknown living person was curled up in a stable and safe state. He did not look like he needed emergency rescue, so she observed carefully.
"It's cold around here...frozen?"
Captain Blue Eagle knows nothing about magic.
But the captain knew how to use dedicated personnel, and there were people behind her who wanted to get closer, so she immediately moved away.
"I'll do it." Lucifer said decisively.
Healing magic is a type of light magic, and it is not unusual for His Majesty the King to know this. Human lives were at stake, and Mogan would not stop him in this situation.
But the problem remains. Because Morgan has already discovered that Austin has noticed Lucifer's abnormal magical ability.
——Austin is a very experienced mage. He may have discovered that this "Mr. Yann Warren" is the person who froze the tsunami.
But waiting for death is not a good option.
So Mogan had no choice but to try to divert Austin's attention when His Majesty the King began to perform healing magic and the white light shone.
"This person is indeed the inspector of Port Saint-Lun, a subordinate of Chief Inspector Ellaberg. After your troubles, this person appeared at the seaside."
"you know?"
As expected, Austin narrowed his eyes. Regarding the previous incident at the beach, I think he didn't let it go so easily.
"...Together with a female inspector, we are responsible for asking about the situation when the crowd is evacuated. It is just far away from the center of the crowd, so I may not have met you."
Although it seemed like nonsense, Mogan really wasn't making it up. He just happened to remember who appeared because he didn't want to miss any clues.
But even if he hadn't seen this person's face, Mo Gan felt that he should be able to make up the corresponding lie.
The question that concerned him now was how the inspector, who had been asking questions at the beach two days ago, got here.
Even if there was an accident while investigating the cargo ship, we wouldn't have gone all the way to the bottom of the ship.
——It took them half an archmage to enter the fear amplified by magic in this space from the three cabins below.
At this time, under Lucifer's continuous healing, the human face outlined by the holy light attached to the healing magic gradually turned red and looked much healthier.
"This should be a kind of bionic magic used for hunting..." Lucifer expressed his guess, "The situation is similar to dormancy, and it may have side effects on humans, but I have tried my best to restore him to the best condition. "
"Is this witchcraft?" Austin frowned.
Compared with ordinary magic, witchcraft is usually used to refer to the use of heretical and less ethical magic.
The same goes for wizards versus mages.
But there is also a saying that wizards have a wider range of abilities than mages, and they should just be mages with more eccentric and unconventional learning content, and should not be regarded as heretics.
However, compared to hundreds of years ago, when wizards who studied magic other than those listed in the country's orthodox ranks were called wizards and were wanted, the term "wizard" today is more similar to an alienating and neutral term.
"It cannot be said that it cannot be applied to humans because the physique of humans is different from that of animals and other ethnic groups."
Lucifer considered his choice of words.
"Based on the actual situation, this person's health is good, better than ordinary people, and he should not have too serious reactions. But I don't know why, it seems a bit too fast..."
What's too fast?
Seeing His Majesty the King lowering his head in confusion, Mo Gan was also curious.
At this moment, the man huddled in the wooden pile actually opened his eyes.
"Are you awake now?"
Melissa was surprised.
He was just like a dead person just now, but now he has opened his eyes in just a few seconds. Either Mr. "Yan Warren" has returned to life wonderfully, or there is something wrong.
Lucifer calmly made a judgment, "Something's wrong."
Austin gritted his teeth and spoke to Melissa, "You should know that red eyes are an ominous sign...actually it doesn't refer to my kind, but the glowing ones."
Mogan couldn't agree more.
There are similar rumors in the ancient books of the Cole Kingdom. The red light in the pupils is either a fire dragon that transforms into a dragon pupil before the battle, or it is a sign that the creature's temperament changes drastically and directly goes crazy.
——Both are not easy situations to get along with.
"I know, all the sea monsters I killed in the Starry Sea are glowing." Melissa said calmly, only turning over the knife she was still holding in her hand, "otherwise I would have already started to get close to them."
Although they were prepared, several people wanted to see what would happen and were not worried about any danger, so they took two steps back, almost to let the people out.
I saw the man's legs in the tree twitching slightly, then slowly stretched out of the trunk and began to straighten up.
"Relatively healthy and exercising normally."
Lucifer's tone sounded like expert consultation to Morgan.
"The human race's ability to develop legs is not as good as our mermaids." Austin acted normally, with a contemptuous expression, "With such flexible limbs, half of them can't swim, and why do they vote themselves as the 'smartest race'? Ridiculous. .”
Melissa smacked her lips, "I think this action is very neat. Did you drink the magic potion? It's like clockwork."
Mogan, who stood silently by the side, thought to himself that if the brother in the tree stump was in a rational state now, he might be very angry.
The man in the tree stood up and walked out without saying a word, but his eyes were red and glowing, but he had no figure.
The inspector raised his hand and muttered something.
"Spell?"
Captain Blue Eagle is a captain who has seen the world, the first mate who was forced into the regiment hates humans, and His Majesty the King is a wizard who is not overly skilled.
I don't know when he stepped lightly and came to the front. Lucifer stretched out his index finger, leaned forward and raised his hand to touch the forehead of the person in the tree stump.
He looked completely straight into those wide eyes, which made Melissa turn the back of her knife back, thinking about whether to pull it in time when she was in danger.
After a moment, the figure in the tree stabilized and fell down again.
After all, a wind blade was condensed on his hand...or half a wind blade, and it was shot in the direction of Jiang's unraised finger, grazing a small grass on the edge of the field.
Maybe a magic herb.
"Is this still a mage?" Austin looked puzzled, "Are there too many mages in the Cole Kingdom?"
From the Mages Association to the Inspectors, this number is really not small if you want to sum it up.
Mo Gan coughed dryly and said, "The inspector does not actually require force, but an area needs sufficient preparation and combat power. Most of them are warriors, and there are also a small number of mages."
"You seem to understand?"
Austin turned his attention to him.
"This is common knowledge in the Cole Kingdom. I am from the royal capital."
Seeing that the businessman's expression was sincere and not fake, Austin also turned his face and looked at the fainted human being who was caught by Lucifer and temporarily laid flat on the ground.
"Psychic magic." The king gave a decisive answer. "This kind of magic should be regarded as a branch of light magic. It was once included in the list of decent magic as a type of healing magic, but it is not the case now."
Today, more people classify it as witchcraft.
Silently completing the sentence that the king had left unfinished due to the situation, Mogan turned around and checked his surroundings.
Including the moment when their eyes met just now, His Majesty the King was also aware of this, so he used mind magic to counter the same magic in order to cause minimal damage.
But it is really incomprehensible to place an unconscious mage who can lose control out of thin air in a wooden pile - especially since this person was at the beach two days ago and should belong to the Kingdom of Cole.
It was obviously an unexpected factor and was not part of the plan.
Morgan is good at exploring variables, and he will always look for them and then exploit them.
Because of this, his eyes fell on the grass blades that had been touched by half of the wind blade, and then his pupils shrank.
