As the pages of the book turned, the Soul Witch Book turned to the chapter of the first fragment of destiny.
The fragment begins with a scene of Quines walking under a moonlit night. Quines carefully observed the surrounding environment and easily recognized that this was a passage to the branch.
Under the moonlit night, Quins' shadow was stretched long. Then, the shadow suddenly stood up and stuck tightly to Quins' back. A sharp shadow protruded from the flat shadow.
"Hidden sword." Quins murmured with squinted eyes. He could see the appearance and specifications of the hidden sword at a glance.
Suddenly, Quines in the book seemed to realize something. He did not move forward but retreated, his right hand fiercely pointed at the hidden sword, and his left hand tilted back at the same time, and a similar hidden sword thrust out from his elbow.
Stab into the shadow.
However, from a third-person perspective, the real fatal move for Quines in the book is that the shadow behind him stretches so long that the head of the shadow turns into a thin, sharp shadow thorn.
Ince inserted it straight from the top of his head.
The scene suddenly stops at this point.
"Has it been exposed?" Quins touched his chin. He was already prepared for the exposure. He was afraid that this was just the Secret Shadow assassin cleaning up the investigation department, or that William's little moves were discovered by the Secret Shadow.
In this case, if he overreacted and ran away directly, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Without more reference information, Quins could not draw any more conclusions and could only put it aside for the time being. However, being able to know the news about the secret assassination in advance made Quins very satisfied with the secret biography of Destiny Observer.
"The next step is to calculate the time of the assassination." This part was relatively simple for Quines, who had already studied basic astrology. He carefully compared the surrounding environment, the tilt angle of the shadow, and the subtle changes in the moonlight in the fateful scene.
It was quickly deduced that the time in the picture occurred at night two days later.
"It seems that we need to plan carefully." Quins' eyes flashed.
Putting aside your thoughts for the moment, Quins looks at the chapter of the second fragment of destiny.
The scene when the second fragment appeared showed a dark moon. Quins knew that this happened on the night of the 15th without having to calculate the time.
Then we moved to Teague Central Square, which was unexpected by Quins. Teague Central Square Quines had passed by Teague Central Square several times before when he went to the Investigation Section Headquarters. The biggest feature of Teague Central Square was the Duke of Teague standing in the center of the square.
, the stone statue known as the Duke of Hell, has a history of 500 years.
In the scene of destiny, the statue is holding a thin sword with a hell flower carved on the hilt in its right hand, and a thick stone book in its left hand. On the spine of the book are seven different colors carved with different patterns.
The circular pattern is the same as the real statue that Quines visited in reality.
A black beam of light shot from an unknown place onto the thin sword engraved with the hell flower.
As the picture moves further down, it is different from the square in reality. A huge blood-colored witch formation suddenly fills the entire square with the statue as the center. It looks particularly strange and twisted under the light of the dark moon.
As the picture moved, there seemed to be shadowy figures flashing around. Just when the picture was about to advance, time suddenly stopped and ended.
"It's actually that place." It's not difficult to see from the picture that there is definitely a big problem with the statue of Duke Teague. At the Iron Rose Mansion, Quins overheard Shotgun Buddy's comments about the three oldest buildings in Teague.
Introduction. An accident occurred at the Iron Rose Mansion. The fountain in front of the main building was used for some kind of ceremony, and there was a huge abnormality in the statue in Teague Square. Quins' thoughts were swirling. These arrangements were made 500 years ago.
Has it been set up, is it just an accident, or is it a recent arrangement.
Since these two places have become problems, then the other Tigue Castle, which was converted into Tigue Comprehensive University, also has a big unknown problem. If so, what is the problem?
Moreover, the title "Duke of Hell" contains the word "hell", which can be connected to the hellish creature that acted secretly in the Iron Rose Mansion. Is there some connection between the two?
Why is there a problem with the statue of the Duke of Hell alone in the square? More importantly, will this statue not be corroded after 500 years?
With the addition of the two lines of thinking of agile thinking, Quines had a series of questions in his mind.
"Anyway, let's investigate Duke Teague first." After pondering his thoughts, Quines caught a common thread among these questions. Duke Teague said, "Well, we also need to be prepared to deal with the Secret Shadow Assassin's gang."
After thinking clearly, Quins felt the empty nagging feeling in the spiritual energy pool. Instead of rushing out, he began to meditate. This meditation lasted until night.
After eating the dinner brought by Sally, Quins began to think about the Shadow Assassin. From the destiny fragments, although he got the time of the Shadow Assassin's assassination, this information had no beginning or end. In other words, it was
Quins is not sure whether there is really only one Secret Shadow Assassin, or whether there will be a series of traps on him after this.
And the most important thing is, after he predicts a certain piece of information in the future, whether it will cause a chain reaction in the future, this is an issue he has to consider. Similar issues were discussed a lot in the information age of his previous life.
, he will naturally not ignore it.
The information about Teague Plaza in the second paragraph is not that important. After all, it is just a scene. Although it reveals more information than the first paragraph, it does not involve characters, so it does not matter how to change the future. But in the first paragraph, is it about taking advantage of the situation or taking advantage of the situation?
…change the future.
In the end, Quins decided to take advantage of the situation. The reason is simple. In the mysterious world, he doesn't know what the consequences of changing the future will be. He is just a wizard who has just entered the path of destiny, lacking basic predictions and knowledge of destiny.
Therefore, Quines did not want to act rashly for the sake of caution.
Fortunately, there are disadvantages to having the first piece of information without a beginning or end, but it also has advantages. Just because he didn't see the end, he can "change the future at will" without worrying about disturbing the timeline.
The above is just Quines's hypothesis, but Quines doesn't want to try to change the consequences of the future before he has accumulated enough common sense to predict fate.
However, in this case, if you want to take advantage of the situation, you also need to have enough trump cards as a backup to ensure that you will not capsize.
Does he just have a trump card? Quins shook his head. Although he had upgraded all 8 witchcraft cards to level 1, even after all the upgrades, the 0-level witchcraft originally engraved on the 8 witchcraft cards was
After all the magic cards were advanced, feedback was received, and the magic functions were further increased. However, these are just the wizard's basic knowledge, and there is no trump card that Quins can use.
If anything, William is a foreign aid, and the Secret Shadow Assassin is their common enemy, but William is the last resort, and Quines doesn't want to be exposed until he has to. In the end, he thought of the Investigation Department, which might as well be done
Take advantage of it. After thinking over and over again, Quines immediately left the basement and went to find old Schmidt. That night, Quines stayed with old Schmidt for a long time.
The next day, Quince went to William's alchemy workshop early in the morning and discussed the plan he had considered yesterday with William throughout the morning.
Sitting on the carriage to Tiguet Comprehensive University, Quins let out a long sigh of relief. The plan has been deployed. Whether it can go smoothly depends on tomorrow.
Tigue Comprehensive University, renovated from Tigue Castle, is located on the edge of the western suburbs of the city. In addition to being the best university in Tigue City, it also has the largest library in Tigue.
Quins went to Teague University this time. In addition to an on-the-spot investigation, he also wanted to search the library to see if there was any biography of Duke Teague.
Due to the castle, Teague Comprehensive University was not built as an open university like universities in other cities when it was renovated. Instead, it was rebuilt into a castle-style college like Hogwarts, where all students live in the same building.
Within the university, it is actually simply repaired and renovated on the basis of Teague Castle. Therefore, according to rumors, there are still many strange and unsolved mysteries in the castle that have not been solved to this day.
Teague Comprehensive University usually focuses on closed teaching and is generally not open to the public. But Quines' stay at Old Schmidt's yesterday did more than just do one thing.
Stepping down-to-earth at the door of Teague University, Quins blinked. He looked at the castle in front of him in surprise. If the land under his feet surrounded the castle and turned it into a moat, he would have thought that he had arrived at the place he had imagined in his previous life.
That Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Instead of calling the door in a hurry, Quines looked around the castle carefully and even turned on his spiritual vision. Under the influence of witchcraft and spiritual vision, Quines' eyesight was greatly enhanced, and he could see the outside of the castle at once.
On a scenic platform, a striking statue of the Duke of Hell stands proudly.
"Haha, you are everywhere, Lord Duke of Hell, what exactly do you want to do?" Quince murmured to himself, realizing in his heart that he had faintly touched the core edge of the Duke of Hell from 500 years ago.
Under the greatly enhanced witchcraft vision, Quins clearly saw that the statue on the viewing platform was the same as the one in Teague Square. The reason why it was said to be similar was because the statue was the weakest and had the same effect.
There are swords and books, but the statues and swords are placed in different places in the castle.
The sword tip of the statue in the square was pointed upward, named after the eyebrow, and stood in front of him. However, the sword of the statue in front of Quins was pointing straight ahead, in the direction... it was the center of Tigue.
Quins narrowed his eyes and stared at the statue for five minutes before slowly closing his spiritual vision.
Stepping forward, Quins rang the doorbell at the university gate.
