In the morning, Felin knocked on the door of Ken Rothwell's office. After receiving permission, he opened the door and walked in.
"Elder Sokes, what's the matter?"
Ken Rothwell, who was sitting behind his desk, raised his head and saw Felin entering, and asked with some confusion.
"Are there any tasks suitable for me recently?"
Feline asked.
"Of course there are tasks, but you are now learning how to advance to the extraordinary. If you perform the tasks, it will definitely slow down your learning progress."
Ken Rothwell hesitated.
The escape of many cultists and evil mystics, coupled with the various cult forces that have become more active due to the death of Elder Mark, has resulted in a sharp increase in the workload of the Security Bureau in recent times.
If he hadn't been worried about affecting Felin's study progress, he would have assigned the task to Felin long ago.
"Everyone in the security bureau is busy, but I am the only one with free time. I am really embarrassed, so I came here to ask for a task."
Flynn said.
"Since you said so, I will arrange one for you. If the great elder questions you, don't say that I forced it on you."
Ken Rothwell said with a smile.
"Of course not. Is there any suitable task for me?"
Felin asked with a smile.
"let me see."
Ken Rothwell picked up a stack of documents on the table and started flipping them. After a while, he stopped flipping and said to Felin.
"One day ago, Humphrey McPherson, the director of the Ruma City Security Bureau, was investigating a disappearance that occurred outside the city, but he disappeared during the investigation."
"You go to Ruma City to search and rescue Humphrey Macpherson, and investigate the truth of this matter."
While speaking, Ken Rothwell handed a document to Felin.
Felin reached out and took it, looking through it carefully.
The document records that a few days ago, several nobles came across an abandoned castle while hunting.
It was raining at that time, so I went into the castle to take shelter from the rain.
Unexpectedly, he disappeared after entering.
The families of these noble children commissioned detectives to search and found the castle through horse hoof prints.
However, after entering and exploring the castle, it also disappeared.
Sensing that it might be involved in a mysterious incident, the noble family informed the security bureau of the matter.
The Security Bureau sent two mystics to investigate, but unexpectedly, these two mystics also disappeared in the castle.
After the two Security Bureau mystics disappeared, the Security Bureau raised the risk level of the mission, and Director Humphrey McPherson personally led a team to participate in the investigation.
But he didn't expect that Director Humphrey Macpherson, a high-circle mystic, also disappeared after entering this castle.
The director disappeared, and the Ruma City Security Bureau immediately reported the matter to the General Administration.
"It doesn't look like it was done by a cultist, but it looks like it was done by a weirdo. Could it be that there is a very powerful weirdo hidden in this castle?"
After reading the relevant records, Felin guessed.
"This requires you to go investigate."
Ken Rothwell said.
"Okay, leave this task to me."
Felin nodded.
Being able to make a mystic with high-level strength disappear, this strange strength is definitely not weak.
Regardless of whether they are cultists or weirdos, they can provide him with mysterious points. There is no difference between the two, so he is quite satisfied with this task.
With the help of the Space Gate, Felin arrived in Ruma City.
Outside the room with the space door set up in the Ruma City Security Bureau, people were already waiting anxiously. After all, the director was missing, and everyone in the Security Bureau was already panicking.
As soon as Felin walked out of the room, several people immediately came to greet him.
The leaders among them were a middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man. When they saw Felin, the middle-aged woman and middle-aged man immediately recognized him, and brought several mystics who followed them to address Felin.
"Elder Sox."
They are the captains of the Ruma City Security Bureau, the highest-ranking people under the director.
As the most powerful director of the Security Bureau has disappeared, the entire Security Bureau can be said to be in panic.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the General Administration sent an elder, and it was Elder Socks who was rumored to have strength beyond the average twelve rings.
"I already know the specific situation and asked someone to take me directly to the castle."
Felin looked at several people and said.
"Aqil, I will take Elder Socks to that castle, and you will be in charge of the security bureau."
The middle-aged woman Meimi Nahum said to the middle-aged man.
"Okay, then I will be in charge of the Security Bureau."
The middle-aged man Achill Hazlitt did not object and nodded in response.
After getting into a carriage, Felin and Memie Nahum left the security bureau and headed out of the city.
A few hours later, the carriage stopped at the foot of a hillside, and Felin and Memie Nahum stepped out of the carriage.
For the rest of the journey, the carriage could no longer move forward, but they were not far from their destination.
On the hillside, you can vaguely see a building with high walls. That is the castle where a director of the Security Bureau disappeared.
"Let's go."
Letting the carriage driver wait at the foot of the mountain, Felin and Memie Nahum walked up the hillside on the not easy road.
Soon after, they arrived at the castle.
This is an ancient but not dilapidated castle. The functions of the high walls, watchtowers and other buildings are well preserved.
The quality of the building materials used during construction was very good, so even now, it is still well preserved.
"It should be a building from the Principality period."
Felin looked at the castle and speculated.
Before becoming an occultist, he was an appraiser and had a good understanding of the architectural styles of various periods.
Therefore, we can immediately deduce the period of this castle from the architectural style.
"I have read the historical information of Ruma City, and this castle is indeed a building from the Principality period."
Memie Nahum nodded and said.
"Smell enhancement."
Felin took out the enhanced gem from the panel and used the enhanced gem's smell to enhance it.
The strengthened gem lit up with green light. Under this green light, Felin's sense of smell was greatly enhanced, and he could smell various smells.
"Many people have indeed visited this castle recently."
With the help of his enhanced sense of smell, Feilin could smell the residual odors of dozens of people.
Some of the smells are different from ordinary people and are obviously left by extraordinary people.
Felin distinguished all the smells and wanted to try to find weird smells.
After all, according to his speculation, the reason why many people disappeared in this castle should be because there is a powerful weirdo inside.
"Not really."
After a while, Felin's face looked unexpected.
He didn't smell anything weird that was different from humans, and it was as if there was no weirdness in it.
"The guess is wrong. There is not a powerful Weird here? No, I'm afraid this Weird can hide the smell!"
"It can make me, who is now comparable to a twelve-ring mystic who uses the extraordinary ability of smell, unable to detect the smell. This weird thing is really extraordinary."
Felin looked at Meimi Nahum and said to Meimi Nahum.
"I'll go in and investigate. You wait for me outside the castle."
"Elder Sokes, I want to go in and investigate with you."
Memie Nahum glanced around and begged.
She also guessed that there was a powerful weirdo living in this castle. Now that they appeared outside the castle, they must have attracted the attention of this powerful weirdo.
If she were to be separated from Felin, she would probably be attacked by this strange creature as she was just the mystic of the Central Circle.
Compared to staying alone outside the castle, it will be safer to act with the elder Felin.
"That's fine."
Guessing Meimi Nahum's worries, Felin did not refuse, but nodded.
Compared with leaving Memie Nahum outside the castle, letting Memie Nahum follow him, the twelve-ring mystic, is indeed safer.
The gate of the castle is open, like the mouth of a giant beast.
Felin walked through the open door and walked into the castle.
Memie Nahum quickly followed, following Feline step by step.
