"How could it be broken? I am also a witch, not a three-year-old naughty child." Koizumi Anko crossed her arms, snorted, and then continued to look at the magic circle on the ground in confusion, "What is this? You are not
Are you saying that magic is ineffective against foggy dogs?"
Koizumi Anko is in a very bad mood now.
Although the house we live in now is not small, compared with the originally vast castle, it seems particularly difficult to stay in.
However, now, she did not dare to move back to the comfortable castle - according to the servants, the foggy dog occasionally went to the castle to inspect, looking like it wanted to catch something and take it home.
In addition, the servant also brought very bad news: all the precious magic weapons accumulated in her castle have been drained of their magic power and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Minamoto Kurenai's loss was not so heavy. But she failed to catch monsters before, which was a big blow to her who was capable of doing anything.
but……
"Although the price paid was not small, I finally gained something."
Minamoto Kurenai ran her fingers over the old ancient books on the table and exhaled slowly: "It's a pity that the monster does not exist. However, if we can catch the mysterious wizard behind it, we can barely make up for our losses."
Koizumi Anko was startled: "Monsters don't exist? Mysterious wizards?...What do you mean?!"
When Minamoto Hongna made these preparations, she was in a hurry every day and didn't even discuss it with her.
Therefore, Koizumi Hongzi knew nothing about her aunt's progress. She had nothing to do these days and made other preparations by herself. She spent money to order a huge steel mesh - since magic will be eaten by foggy dogs, then
Captured physically, the sniper rifle the servant used that day seemed very effective.
Minamoto Hongnai heard her question, glanced at the huge steel mesh piled in the corner, and snorted coldly:
"Stupid. Haven't you noticed yet? The bullet clearly grazed him that night, but he didn't leave anything behind - no blood, no tar, nothing... Generally speaking, even bugs have bodily fluids, let alone
He is a monster with a body similar to that of a human being. In addition, when he was hit by a sniper rifle, there were obviously pieces of clothing falling, but those pieces disappeared later."
"..." Koizumi Hongzi listened to these emphasized words and thought of some explanation, "Are you trying to say that Kiriten Dog is not a real creature, but some kind of doll?!"
Yuan Hongnai nodded:
"It should be something similar. It must carry some kind of method that can split complex magic into simple particles and then absorb them all - if you don't find the person hiding behind it, catching a few 'monsters' will be in vain
."
As she said that, she took another look at the ancient book she had found with relief: "Fortunately, I now have a clue. It's only a matter of time before I can find out that person."
Minamoto Hongna didn't invite any help this time.
The magicians in this world exist in families, and the number is far less than what some outside insiders think. These families usually do not interact with each other, and will only meet for consultation when they encounter major problems. Under normal circumstances, they rarely meet for a hundred years.
On the one hand, only when one family behaves out of line or has an excessive impact on society, other families will jump out, sanction the leader in the name of balance, and then divide the spoils.
But it is absolutely impossible to sit down and hunt together in a friendly manner and share the harvest.
However, although there is not much help in magic, Minamoto Kurenai's husband's family has a wide network of contacts in society.
In modern society, the power of magic and supernatural powers is no longer as strong as before. As long as she can identify the identity of the wizard behind "Fog Sky Dog", it will not be difficult to put pressure on him using methods other than magic.
Based on the current situation, Minamoto Kurenai feels that if the wild wizard can be caught, it will be a very cost-effective thing, whether it is to torture the secret method or to use it for his own use. In addition, he can also repay the other party.
Playing her own revenge - in fact, it wasn't until the servant confirmed that nothing had fallen from Wutian Dog that she guessed that Wutian Dog was just a doll controlled by a wizard. Before that, she really thought that the world
There's a monster up there.
Minamoto Kurenai's thoughts wandered for a moment, and then she quickly recovered.
She reached into her robe, felt around, and pulled out a vial.
Then he held the bottle and said to Koizumi Hongzi: "You step back and restrain your magic power."
Koizumi Hongzi silently retreated to the side, pretending not to hear the second half of her words - there was no need to restrain herself deliberately, she had to squeeze hard now to squeeze out some magic power.
Seeing that her niece had retreated to a place where she would not interfere with the magic circle, Minamoto Kurenai turned around and stepped into the circle.
There is a huge clear crystal ball placed in the array.
She carefully opened the bottle cap in her hand and sprinkled the dust in the bottle on the crystal.
——This is the soil dug out from the magic circle where Kidd was imprisoned. The servant ventured back to the castle to find it.
That castle has existed for hundreds of years, and the magic circle inside will have special effects. As long as the foggy dog sets foot there, it will definitely leave traces.
In a dark room.
As the processed dust fell into the magic circle, the already dark surroundings suddenly became even dimmer. The light seemed to be sucked and swallowed by an invisible giant beast, and the room seemed to be fast-forwarding into the dark night.
It was dark, with only the light gradually brightening in the magic circle, tracking the person behind the "Fog Sky Dog".
After an unknown amount of time, the picture gradually emerged, like a swaying water curtain, extremely blurry.
Minamoto Kurenai pressed her eye sockets and frowned to adapt to this twisted style.
Gradually, she saw an old house through the "water curtain". The light in the house was dim and the atmosphere was gloomy. She had to try hard to open her eyes wide before she could see a hazy back figure in it. Judging from the body shape, he seemed to be a young man.
male.
The man who couldn't see clearly stood in the old room, holding a slender, staff-like thing in his hand. There was a person lying upside down under his feet. The person was lying on the ground, motionless.
Koizumi Hongzi, who was watching from a distance, took a silent breath and touched the goosebumps on her arms - it was indeed an evil wizard. Is he killing people? Is it some kind of special sacrifice ritual?
?
Thinking of this, she unconsciously pressed the phone again and touched "1" with her fingertips.
But soon, Koizumi Anko quietly pulled out her hand.
...This is a matter in the magical world. Magic should be used to solve the problem, and we cannot always rely on the police.
Moreover, the picture is too blurry. Apart from the atmosphere of a murder scene, nothing else can be seen clearly. Even if the police call the police, they cannot indicate the location to the police.
...Let's wait for my aunt to deal with it.
…
This time the magic circle consumed an unusually large amount of magic power.
Minamoto Kurenai stared at the screen nervously. After the screen was frozen, she waved to the servant who was huddled silently in the corner.
