But in fact, it is not because they are powerful that they can use magic without chanting spells, but because the magic they use is the magic of the World Tree, so the magic they cast is more powerful.
When the magic is used enough, the World Tree will take the initiative to sign a contract.
It sounds very simple and the threshold is not high, but in fact it is very difficult to reach that level. After all, the king stipulates a magic limit.
But there are always special reasons why the king lifts certain people's quotas, large beasts attack the city, fight other countries, or fight against evil elements.
Another situation is to make your own wand. This was the case with the group of people Jiang Yingbai and his party met before.
In short, there are very few magicians who have reached this point.
Bolai quickly invited the three of them into the house and poured them a glass of water made from an unknown source.
In order to show his professionalism, Jiang Yingbai had already thought of his words before coming in.
Jiang Yingbai handed the quill pen and parchment he bought in the town to Lotta sitting next to him.
Lotta sat upright, lowered her head and looked at the parchment on the table, holding a quill in one hand and looking serious.
Jiang Yingbai had already agreed with him to record the entire conversation between her and Bo Lai later.
As soon as Bo Lai sat down, Jiang Yingbai started asking questions.
She stared into Bolai's eyes, making Bolai a little nervous, "Name?"
Hearing Jiang Yingbai's first sentence, he didn't react for a moment.
"Huh? Oh, Paule Petit."
"I mean the name of the missing person."
Bolai stumbled and said, "Sissi Petit."
"age."
"12."
"gender."
"female."
"Where did your daughter disappear?"
"on the way home."
"Home from where?"
"College."
"when?"
"4 to 5 p.m."
"Do you suspect the target?"
"No."
"Have you ever asked where other people in the town disappeared?"
"have."
"Tell me about the news you heard."
"They all disappeared right after leaving the academy."
"Do you think there's something wrong with the academy?"
"No."
"Are there any special people living near the college, whether they have a particularly good reputation, a particularly bad reputation, or are famous in some aspects?"
Bolai thought about it for a long time, "There was an old man with a weird temper."
"What's weird?"
Then Bo Lai introduced the old man to Jiang Yingbai in detail.
Three years ago, the old man came to Pingyu Town from outside. No one in the town knew where he came from, no one knew him, and no one knew his name.
He didn't have a penny on his body and lived by begging all day long. He had a very weird temper and ignored anyone who spoke to him, so the townspeople called him a mute old man.
There is an abandoned house near the college where children used to like to play after school.
Until the mute old man discovered the abandoned house, he forcibly occupied the house and kicked out the children who came to explore the house every time.
Over time, the children in the town were very afraid of this weird old man who didn't speak and kept a straight face, and no one went to play in the house anymore.
Jiang Yingbai nodded slightly, "I understand, is there anything else?"
"Uh..." Bo Lai racked his brains and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything.
Jiang Yingbai asked, "Is there anyone in this town whose house always smells bad?"
There are two situations when a person disappears: the person is sent out of the town, and the person is still in the town.
These two situations are further divided into two situations.
Outside the town, people were not dead, but were abducted, dragged into experiments, and so on.
People were killed, their bodies were buried, they were abandoned, such as thrown into lakes, eaten by wild animals, etc.
In this world, technology is underdeveloped. There is no surveillance, no fingerprints, and no mobile phones. In this case, it is difficult to determine a person's whereabouts throughout the day.
People in the town are either at work or resting at home, and few people go out to visit all day long.
In particular, many people like to spend time alone as a family. Even if they are away from home all day long, no one may know.
When being interrogated, as long as the suspect insists that he has been at home, nothing will happen to him. Of course, except for those who have a very bad reputation, no one will believe him even if he does not kill anyone.
People usually magnify the other person's behavior infinitely and interpret the other person's behavior to add credibility to their suspicions, regardless of whether those behaviors are abnormal or whether they over-interpret them.
Once doubt arises, everything around you becomes untrustworthy.
Therefore, there are only two difficulties in killing everyone in this small town.
1. How to dispose of the body secretly. As long as the process of hiding the body is not discovered, this crime is only half the perfect crime.
2. How to prevent the body from being discovered. If the body is dumped outside the town, there is no need to consider this.
If the corpse is disposed of in the town, there is only one problem to consider, how to dispose of it. The corpse will emit a peculiar smell after decomposition.
In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem, such as burying the body in your own garden, or throwing it into a well, etc.
Jiang Yingbai decided to investigate from the town first.
Bo Lai replied, "No."
"Is there any family whose house always hears the sound of cutting things?"
"Hmm...does it count if you buy meat?"
"Calculate."
"There are quite a few meat sellers in the town, but it is often said at home that there is only one family that cuts meat."
"Location."
"Lake on the west side of town."
"Have you ever seen him around the academy?"
"No."
"What kind of meat does he sell?"
"A wild beast caught in an uninhabited mountain."
Luo Ta's hand paused while he was recording frantically, and Jiang Yingbai was also a little surprised.
"A wild beast caught in an uninhabited mountain?"
"Yes, he and Wizard Percodo are good friends. They know each other because they both like adventurous hunting. They often go to the uninhabited mountains to hunt wild beasts together, and bring the captured wild beasts back to the town to sell."
Jiang Yingbai always felt strange, "Have you eaten it?"
"I've eaten it before. Because the price is affordable, many people in the town have eaten it."
"How is the taste?"
"fine."
"Is there anyone in town with a very bad temper and good skills, such as martial arts?"
"Except for Lake and Percodo, there seem to be no magicians. Everyone is an ordinary person. At most, some people are more powerful, but there are no very special people."
"What do you think of Percodo Wizard?"
"Magic Percodo is a very good person. He often gives the money from selling meat to the college. Sometimes he treats the townspeople for free. He is also very kind."
"His age."
"Probably more than 40."
"How's your face?"
"Very close."
"Why did he come to Pingyu Town?"
"Because he likes adventure, or he especially likes to explore uninhabited mountains, he chose to give up developing in Liberty City and come here instead."
"How do you know this?"
"When Wizard Percodo first came to town, many townspeople were very curious about why he came here. He said it himself at that time."
