Chapter 64 Magic Consultant

It’s already quite cool in Thunder City in mid-October.

After Colin Wayne left the association, he took a carriage to the northern part of the King's District.

After getting off the car, he subconsciously buried his neck into the raised collar as much as possible, and followed the example of his senior sister and retracted his hands into his sleeves.

The body of a magician is the same as that of ordinary people. If he does not use his mental power, he still needs clothes to resist the cold. In comparison, the physical fitness of a knight is completely different.

In Colin's view, although this world does not have the "fighting spirit" imagined, the physical limits of human beings are far beyond those of people on earth. Theoretically, a great knight can rely on pure strength and cold weapons to fight against a great knight.

Although the magician will most likely be defeated, he is definitely not without the strength to fight.

This is actually very easy to understand. In the history that can be traced for hundreds of thousands of years, humans and a large number of powerful and dangerous races such as orcs and centaurs have coexisted on the same continent for a long time. It would be a strange thing if the body had not evolved at all.

, it is a pity that this evolution has not benefited everyone. Although it is not as absolute as the mental power of a magician, high-level knights still need a certain amount of talent in addition to hard training.

Colin raised his head and looked at his destination this time.

Thunder City City Hall.

It is called by the people "the palace that allows civilians to enter and exit".

This large but not overly decorated building forms an arc along the north side of the King's District. There are several accessible doors, each corresponding to different administrative functions.

Colin followed a group of people waiting to go down to the basement through a narrow staircase from the indoor entrance.

"Mr. Baron, are you sure you want to replace the rock with an iron plate?"

However, Berkeley Payne, the president of the association, and Guderian, the head of the city hall, have repeatedly warned that Colin Venn must not be allowed to make any mistakes, and the risk factor of handling the case on site is of course higher.

inside the room.

"This series of magic patterns are called 'Wind Energy Polarization Magic Patterns', but I don't know if the prisoner has the ability to modify them. This is already a very high-tech category.

Canal District.

On the iron plate of the baron's vault that had been renovated, a large round hole large enough for a person to crawl in suddenly appeared.

"Hello, Captain Hank. In fact, I have always been very curious about the City Hall, especially the Sheriff's Department. This time I can take a look with my own eyes, which is what I wanted."

It stands to reason that it is very common for a magic consultant to accompany you to the scene. In many cases, the Public Security Department will even take the initiative to invite you.

Most underground vaults are made of a material called "yellow limestone". This stone fired with a special technique is no less hard than steel, which can effectively prevent excavation and is relatively

, the price is much cheaper, after all, the walls of the vault are often several meters thick.

He found the westernmost side of the agreement, and before he got closer, he saw a familiar face coming to greet him.

But even so, the baron, who had half of his net worth in the treasury, was so frightened that he went to the Sheriff's Department overnight.

…

There are no fixed working hours, and you only need to be responsible for answering magical technical questions when the Sheriff comes to consult.

…

At this point, he has officially become the special magic consultant of the Public Security Department of Thunder City City Hall, and is currently assigned to the fourth team.

"Take the wind energy polarizing magic pattern you showed me last time. It can also work on metals, but the effect will not be very good. Its best applicable environment is when the 'yellow gray carbon stone' content exceeds 80

% of the rock material. However, if you want to have a better effect on metal, it is not impossible. As long as you make certain modifications to several energy transport lines of the magic pattern, you can achieve the purpose of destroying the corresponding material - you know, metal

It is also different from metal.

Colin signed his name under Guderian's signature on a two-page document.

Hank and others made a special trip.

Colin asked: "Captain Hank, did you finally catch the criminal in the last theft case?"

"This..." Hank was suddenly embarrassed.

"oh?"

Baron Joyce's House.

No wonder there are two brushes.

Obviously, the thief carved four magic patterns on the wall of the vault, but failed in any of them. Due to lack of time, he could only leave in frustration, which also allowed Baron Joyce to escape.

Colin originally just wanted to come and watch, but when he saw the other party focusing on him, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wayne, I'm sorry to have to ask you to make the trip in person."

Intermediate magician.

Baron Joyce is a small nobleman who has made a fortune through shipping in recent years. Although his title is not high, his net worth is not much worse than that of some of the big nobles in Thunder City.

"Please come in."

Colin approached a few people a little closer and found that the magician named Summer was wearing a blue badge on his chest.

As an intermediate magician, Summer does not have to be too polite to Hank and others. Even if Guderian wants to interrogate him, he must go through the association. As for this young magic consultant, Summer has no need to

Don't worry - if you meet him in the association, he will take the initiative to salute you.

Seeing this, Summer became even more proud and said again:

"Captain Hank, thank you for the reminder, but I think I can be responsible for Mr. Baron's property."

"Captain Hank, although I don't know the specifics of the magic pattern very well, I can make a rough guess from the energy lines on it. As far as I can see, this is the magic pattern specially drawn for the yellow limestone. As long as the vault is

If the walls are changed to metal, I believe we can make the robbers helpless."

Colin didn't know what the latter's specific job content was, but the Magical Consultant of the Sheriff's Department was indeed a good job.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the one Hank showed him.

"Yes, I heard that the thief was powerless against the metal walls. Many adults have already begun to rebuild their vaults. At the same time, this is also Mr. Summer's suggestion to me."

"I feel ashamed to say that although you have helped us narrow down the scope as much as possible, we still have no suspected target."

He was about to say a few words when he heard a dull voice coming from ahead.

Hank hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mr. Baron, although I don't object to you rebuilding the vault, I still have an obligation to remind you that the metal walls are still not very confident in resisting the magic pattern."

And because of the complexity and profoundness of magic, even if it cannot be answered in the end, it would not be considered a dereliction of duty, otherwise most magic consultants would be unemployed.

Hank didn't actually understand it completely, but he got the general meaning.

Because it was so close, even though the sound was not loud, it still alarmed everyone.

Mr. Summer was the family magician beside the Baron. He nodded slightly and said:

"This is what I should do."

Hank hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mr. Wayne, can I ask if the 'Wind Polarizing Magic Pattern' you mentioned can work on metal?"

Look at the 4 magic patterns on the yellow limestone wall.

"Welcome Mr. Wayne to join the Sheriff's Department." Hank and the two men behind him applauded in welcome, and then said: "It's a pity that Chief Guderian is busy with His Majesty's birthday ceremony and can't get away, otherwise he would definitely come in person."

"Why do you ask that?"

In the candlelit vestibule, Hank and his two subordinates were talking to Baron Joyce and another middle-aged man wearing a magic robe.

Hank was scolded back, but he was not angry. After all, he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. He was very aware of the ambivalent psychology of nobles such as the Baron. He not only hoped to solve the case as soon as possible for peace of mind, but also wished that the Sheriff's Department would be blamed for its inaction.

This position is probably similar to that of the Science Advisor to the Capital City Police Department.

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne, for clarifying my doubts."

But Hank didn't expect that the other party would actually offer it, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while. Then he thought, after all, this was just a theft, and it was at a noble's house. The prisoner would never be in the presence of the Sheriff.

If you strike at the right time, it will not be theft but robbery, and it will be a bold one.

"Captain Hank, if you just want one answer, let me tell you - yes, it works on metal.

He didn't know why the baron and the magician had some vague hostility toward the Sheriff's Department, so he ignored them and walked away.

After hearing this, Colin suddenly became interested.

Having watched a lot of criminal investigation dramas in his previous life, he was curious about how the "police" in this world investigated cases.

In front of the round hole, the young magic consultant of the Public Security Department was spreading his fingers, his palm facing the hole.

At the same time, Hank also discovered it.

"However, the operating principle of magic patterns is probably different from what you imagine. We generally regard magic patterns with the same basic framework, underlying logic, and operating methods as the same magic pattern, but in fact, they are in use

There will still be a big difference.

It has to be said that the family magician hired by Mr. Baron with a lot of money is quite capable. He can only make a rough guess from the energy lines of the magic patterns, which proves that he has good knowledge of magic patterns.

A few people chatted for a while, and Colin said: "If there is nothing else, please forgive me and say goodbye first."

Because the other party wore a primary badge, Summer didn't take the magic consultant too seriously.

Everyone turned their heads collectively to look.

As soon as these words came out, Summer seemed unhappy and said: "Captain Hank, I am sure you are good at investigating cases, but when it comes to magic patterns, do you believe I am more professional, or do the magic consultants from the Public Security Department have better opinions?
