The concentration of magic power in an area does not increase naturally. Instead, it is continuously absorbed by various biological species and its use slowly decreases. Therefore, any sudden increase in magic power concentration must be caused by human factors.
It is currently impossible to determine the purpose of the person who caused this phenomenon. Whether it is simply to practice and improve strength, or whether there is malicious intent is unknown. The Adventurers Association cannot sit idly by and ignore it. The Lord of Tarantino City has also sent people to assist in the investigation, and the city cannot be allowed to fall into
crisis.
The Adventurers Association cooperates with Tarantino City officials. This force is quite powerful. It is not difficult to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Of course, Tarantino City covers a large area. If a blanket search is carried out, the number of investigators in each area is limited, and the strength is uneven. This is also a problem.
Lane's team joined the investigation at the same time, spreading out as members of the Adventurers Association and cooperating with different teams.
According to Lane's instructions, each team member acted in the most low-key manner and never took the lead in the investigation, minimizing the sense of presence. The association and official investigators were the main ones.
After extensive searches and investigations, and after obtaining intelligence from different investigation teams, the target was finally identified.
According to intelligence, the biggest suspect in this matter is a local businessman named Albahan. After he returned from purchasing goods from other places, he experienced a strange phenomenon of increased magic power concentration.
Residents who know Albahan say that he has been behaving very strangely recently, and sometimes the things he says are incomprehensible, as if his personality has completely changed, and he is nothing like him before. Some people even saw him going to bed early late at night.
Albahan was used to having bright light in his room, and could faintly hear voices.
After receiving such information, the association immediately sent people to investigate.
Dylan happened to be in this investigation team and followed him to Albahan's home.
Before the investigators arrived, Albahan seemed to have heard something and disappeared early, and his family members were also missing.
The house was empty, all valuables were taken away, leaving only worthless furniture and heavier objects.
From this point of view, Albahan does have a problem.
The investigators immediately sent people back to report to the association, requesting a city-wide search for Albahan. Others searched Albahan's house carefully to see if there were any clues left.
Dylan mingled with the group and wandered around the house, looking carefully.
Suddenly I heard a shout: "There's something discovered here!"
I quickly ran over and found that the investigators and other remaining adventurers had arrived at the same time.
The shouting adventurer took out a handmade wooden box from the fireplace. Inside the box was a particularly ferocious wooden statue with a wolf head and human body.
The investigator recognized the statue the moment he saw it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's actually the Dark Wolf God?"
"Isn't the Dark Wolf God a god from the evil camp? Only the Orc Continent worships him!" An adventurer frowned and asked, "Why is there a statue of the Dark Wolf God in Albahan's house?"
"Could Albahan be an orc female agent hidden among us humans?"
"Impossible! Albahan has a birth certificate from Tarantino City, so he is definitely not an orc!" The investigator replied affirmatively, "But he behaved strangely after he came back. He took the initiative to escape this time. There is also a statue of the evil god hidden in his home. It is very possible.
What happened while he was out? There is a high probability that he has betrayed humanity and secretly worked for the Orc Empire!"
"So the increase in magic power concentration has a lot to do with him?"
"Only by finding Albahan himself can we find out!" said the investigator. "Continue the search and don't miss a single detail! Maybe there are other clues in the house."
"yes!!"
The adventurers began to dig deep into the ground and turned over everything they could.
Dylan was thinking while cooperating with the investigation. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with the Serra Cult, but it also involved the evil gods of the dark camp. Sure enough, the gods of the two camps were secretly competing, and neither side was willing to be alone!
In Albahan's house, more objects related to the dark wolf god were quickly found, including some prayers copied by hand. It was probably because there was no time to take them away after the incident, so they were hidden in a hidden place.
, but unfortunately, they were all dug up during the Adventurers Association's extensive search.
Through this evidence, it has been determined that Albahan is worshiping the dark wolf god of the evil camp. As for why he, as a human, worships the orc evil god, this is unknown, and the answer needs to be found from him.
In addition, no props or magic circles that can increase the concentration of magic power were found in Albahan's home. In addition, since he can disappear with his family in advance, he must have a hidden hiding place and even have other companions.
In order to prevent Albahan from escaping the city and uncover the truth as soon as possible, the Adventurers Association and the authorities stepped up their efforts and once again launched a city-wide search.
Dylan returned to the station and reported the incident to Lane during the night police call.
Ren was also surprised to learn that another dark wolf god had appeared in Tarantino City.
It seems that except for Serra, the snake god, the other gods of the dark camp are taking action and secretly playing games with the light camp.
In fact, with his strength, it is very easy to find Albahan immediately.
The 22nd level of super perception, or using the system virtual map to view red dots, both methods can easily find the hidden Albahan.
But he will not search for the opponent in this way, because being too high-profile can easily be discovered by the gods of the two camps. For security reasons, any behavior that may expose himself must be prohibited.
Therefore, the members are asked to continue to keep a low profile, and the Adventurers Association should be the main body to secretly participate in this matter.
The carpet search lasted for three days. Just when everyone thought that Albahan had escaped long ago, the Tarantino City guards accidentally discovered movement in the sewers in the south of the city. After investigation, they discovered that there was a secret manually dug passage inside. Albahan
A family was actually hiding inside.
The guards tried to arrest the other party, but were met with resistance.
Albahan actually transformed into a werewolf during the battle, beat the guards to a pulp, and took his family to forcefully break through the south gate and escape to the nearby mountains.
It seems that Albahan has been transformed into a werewolf during his business trip. No wonder he started to believe in the dark wolf god.
The Adventurers Association and Tarantino City officials immediately launched a hunt for Albahan and his family, heavily surrounding the mountainous area where they were hiding, and gradually narrowing the encirclement.
Members of Rennes' team also participated and mixed in with the team to help with the hunt.
Albahan was besieged on the top of the mountain and had nowhere to escape. Faced with the siege, he fought hard while protecting his family.
Albahan, who was transformed into a werewolf, was indeed powerful. From an ordinary human with no fighting ability to a terrifying beast, he could make third-level adventurers helpless. However, in the face of more adventurers, and even strong ones above fourth-level, he finally resisted.
