In front of the statue of Miss Marshall's tomb, Lawrence released a [Detection Magic] according to the normal procedure, but he did not see any magical aura.
"With such a big business, the Marshall family must have some extraordinary beings. If it can be detected so easily, there is no need for them to ask outsiders for help." Saphiel shrugged and continued. "Okay, we'd better talk to each other.
Exchange your approximate occupation and level so that it will be easier to act later."
"Let me talk about myself first. I am an apprentice-level sword dancer, majoring in Steel Soul Swordsmanship." Saphiel briefly introduced himself. Lawrence was a little surprised when he heard this, because he always thought that girls' schools were for the upper class.
Where ladies are trained, even if they learn swordsmanship, they should learn the white crow swordsmanship that is popular among nobles.
"You must have thought that I learned the White Crow Sword Technique, right?" Sephiel seemed to know what Lawrence was thinking, so he leaned closer to him and explained in a low voice, "This is indeed the case under normal circumstances. After all, the White Crow Sword Technique is among the upper class.
It is very popular in society. The only swordsmanship elective courses offered in girls’ schools are this kind of swordsmanship.”
"But when I was taking swordsmanship, the swordsmanship coach was an adventurer who retired after getting married. She felt that I was very suitable to learn the steel soul swordsmanship like her, so she accepted me as her apprentice and taught me her true skills.
Unique skill."
"This is indeed amazing." Lawrence immediately praised Saphire as he looked at the expression "Come on, praise me" in front of him. At the same time, he habitually reached out and touched her slightly messy gray short hair like he did when he was a child.
"Of course, this girl is definitely much stronger than most people." When Lawrence touched her head, Saphire stiffened up a little shyly, but quickly adjusted her mentality and did nothing.
Lawrence touched her head, and at the same time a slightly proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "By the way, now it's your turn, Lawrence, to introduce yourself."
"Me? Okay." Lawrence considered that Fatina was someone they had just met, so he took the initiative to introduce her. "I am a trainee Baize Warlock. Baize here is a kind of mythical beast. It
The overall power is mainly focused on targeting undead creatures and some prophetic magic for detection."
After Lawrence introduced himself, Fatina also began to introduce herself. As a newbie, she didn't realize why Lawrence and the others took the initiative to reveal their personal information before her. "Apprentice-level red dragon warlock"
, mainly using plastic energy magic, and also mastered a little bit of melee combat ability."
"It seems that I am still the lowest level." Lawrence thought, but considering that he has mastered extraordinary power for less than a month, it is already very good to be able to reach this level. Not to mention that he carries two pistols, considering his marksmanship
With the bonus, the damage he can cause is no worse than two apprentice-level ladies.
After a few minutes of quick discussion, Lawrence was elected as the leader of the three-person team. And the reason why he could become the leader as the lowest-ranking person among the three was also very simple.
On the one hand, the two women are not familiar with each other, and the one who can connect them is Lawrence. On the other hand, and the most important point, is that neither Saphire nor Fatina lacks adventure experience.
It has been three years since Saifei learned swordsmanship, but she has never actually fought. And Fatina only has one adventure story that failed extremely. If Lawrence hadn't saved her in time, there would probably be more people in that basement.
It was time to survive with a broken leg. So the two of them simultaneously recommended Lawrence as the temporary commander of the team.
"What should we do now?" After making all the preparations for the adventure, Saphire raised his head and asked Lawrence.
"The first step is to look for the traces left by the attacker." Lawrence said to the two ladies. "Of course, the most direct and simple traces are probably not found. After all, it rained that night and destroyed the
A lot of evidence has been obtained, and the thief also adopted some targeted concealment methods. Otherwise, the Marshall family did not need to seek foreign aid before. I think now we can only look for places that others have accidentally missed. If not -
—”
"I have an idea." Before Lawrence could finish speaking, Fatina raised her hand to indicate that she had an idea. After seeing Lawrence nod, she said, "I want to try out one of our rat people's special abilities, maybe
It can be useful."
"Squeak - squeak." Fatina squatted directly on the lawn, put her hands in front of her mouth and shouted softly. Ten seconds later, several mice and squirrels ran to Fatina from the surrounding ground and trees.
shouted in front of me.
It was obvious that Fatina could understand the meaning of the calls of these small rodents. After a few minutes of squeaky discussion, Fatina took out a few fried soybeans from her pocket and gave them to them.
After they dispersed, he stood up and said to Lawrence, "The squirrels are asleep at night, so they don't know much about their surroundings."
"But the voles nearby just came out to look for food. One vole told me that when it came here three days ago, there was a person in this place. It remembered clearly that when the person passed by him, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
When it comes down, the temperature is about the same as after it snows in winter. In addition, the book also told me this day. The field mouse also told me the direction in which the man left. I think we can go and have a look."
"Well done, let's follow up now." After saying that, Lawrence and the others chased in the direction the vole pointed. When they chased into the rowan forest next to it, Lawrence found some traces.
"Wait a minute, I think I found something." After more than 30 meters into the woods, Lawrence raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop, and then gently knelt on one knee. In front of him was half a flower printed under a broad leaf.
The footprints were not washed away by the rain three days ago precisely because they were under the leaves.
"A footprint, what can it tell? Although this footprint looks like a fresh footprint that was only made in the past two or three days, it might belong to the gardener in this garden." Fatina looked at what Lawrence was staring at.
Something, but she didn't see anything wrong.
"These are not the footprints of people in the Marshall family's garden." Saifei said after taking a look. "The Marshall family uses uniform shoes, which are specially customized from the shoe store. The pattern on this shoe print is similar to that of the Marshall family.
The special pattern is different."
"Besides, I can infer from this footprint that the person who passed by was a thin young man about 1.65 meters tall." As a medical student who has studied anatomy, Lawrence judged from this footprint
The above judgment revealed more information. "And this person may have had a good family before, but now his financial situation is not very good."
"I can understand that height and weight can be inferred." Saphire turned to look at Lawrence. "But how can you tell the financial situation?"
"Because this footprint just happened to imprint a trademark on the ground." Lawrence said, pointing to the footprint on the ground. "The shoes at the Golden Horseshoe store are not cheap. My classmate Edward once told me that his father, who was a police chief, had some."
I would never wear such a pair of shoes on a daily basis, I would only wear these shoes during some important ceremonies or events."
"However, the soles of this pair of shoes looked a bit badly worn, so I concluded that this person's financial situation has not been very good recently."
"Then why aren't the shoes bought from a second-hand shoe store?" Fatina asked curiously.
"Because people who wear these shoes simply won't sell their old shoes to second-hand shoe stores. This kind of store will recycle the old shoes and destroy them." Saifei explained. "Okay, now let's ask around.
