After Chai Anping returned home, Ellerbella was not there as expected. He took a shower and returned to the study, where he began to sort out what he had gained from his trip.
He stuffed the book about alchemy under the small bed in the study.
"It's not a problem to keep these things at home. I'll have to rent a house another day."
He also brought back some alchemy materials that seemed relatively safe. They were placed in closed glass jars, so there should be no problems.
After recording the experiences of the past two days in his notebook, Chai Anping looked at the notebook that he had recorded a lot of and smiled. To a certain extent, his notebook can be regarded as a priceless treasure, right?
In addition, he also summarized the characteristics of his magical abilities, which others can't understand anyway... Maybe he can provide himself with new ideas by reading it occasionally.
"Gululu..."
Just as I was about to put the notebook into the drawer, a small stone rolled out from the depths of the drawer.
"Well."
Forbidden magic stone!
Looking around with a guilty conscience, Chai Anping swallowed, stretched out a finger and slowly touched the stone he snatched from Simmons.
"hiss……"
As soon as I touched it, my fingertips felt a tingling sensation of electric current, and the pebbles immediately glowed white.
Starting from the fingertips, the magic power in the body gradually became silent and lost contact.
Chai Anping quickly put his hands away and bared his teeth: "This is too obvious."
Use a notebook to stuff the Forbidden Magic Stone into the back of the drawer. You don't have the ability to try the necklace. It's better not to try something that has a limit on the number of times.
After resting well at home all afternoon, when I woke up, I found that Ellerbella still hadn't come back. Chai Anping was too lazy to cook, changed his clothes and went out, planning to stop by the agency that rented the house to ask about the situation.
After finding a tavern where he could eat in the evening, Chai Anping habitually sat down and listened to the people in the tavern talking nonsense. Here he could often hear anecdotes revealed by some big shots after drinking too much.
Perhaps because he was no longer clean, he felt that it was quite strange to be sitting among a group of ordinary people, and he had the illusion that he might be pinned to the ground and arrested at any time.
"Hey, have you heard? It seems that a group of evil wizards have sneaked into the capital recently."
Not far away, there was a table of drunkards discussing a rumor among the people.
"I heard about it too!... There is another thing that may be related to this group of people. Let me tell you, isn't my brother-in-law working for the Guards? The murder case on Susan Avenue two days ago,
I heard it was those wizards who did it."
"Sure enough, this news is not groundless!" Someone took over: "You may not know yet, but the demon searchers are frantically transferring people to the headquarters right now!"
The more people talked, the more they felt that it was true, and even the people at several tables nearby lowered their voices and talked about the rumors they had heard.
"What do you think those evil wizards want to do?" Someone said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that the demon hunters will arrest them and hang them?"
Mentioning this, everyone's faces were angry and a little unnatural...
Regarding the scourge of the mage, the mood of the Demacia people is also one of fear mixed with a hint of complexity.
"Damn..."
While eating, he scolded his mother secretly. Chai Anping didn't have any thoughts after hearing this information, but if this rumor was true, the security in Demacia City would definitely be very tight these days, which would be very difficult for him, a little mouse.
Saying it's not a good thing.
"I can't live anywhere, I have to come to the capital."
The nearby diners began to chat after the initial silence, expressing their views on this issue.
Most of them are exaggerated and inconsistent discussions. After all, most people's impression of the mage is based on official propaganda, and they have no idea about the real image of the mage. Even if Chai Anping is sitting among them, they will not notice it.
What one of them said caught Chai Anping's attention: "Don't tell me, those mages are probably not coming to the capital to save people, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Hey! The Demon Searchers have captured so many mages, and many of them are in the Demon Searchers' prisons in the capital. I'm sure there are accomplices of this group of people..."
"It makes sense!"
"The demon hunter's prison..."
Chai Anping glanced at the man, and his heart moved slightly: "Silas should be in this prison, right?"
The Demon Searcher's prison is difficult for ordinary people to enter. Even guards or palace soldiers in the same system do not seem to have the right to enter.
"I hope the magic searchers can catch this evil wizard soon!"
"Who says it isn't!"
The tavern returned to a chaotic state. Chai Anping took a sip of ale, and the magic power in his body suddenly moved.
"Well?"
He calmly put down the wine glass and glanced around the tavern. His magic power suddenly sensed the existence of the "alchemy potion", and it was not sealed, but opened.
He has not tested the range of his magic power in detail, so he cannot determine the general location where this breath appears.
"A tube of alchemy potion appeared in the tavern...Why do I smell something unusual?"
Chai Anping expressed that he was very interested in following up on what happened.
Without specific contact with the potion, he had no way of knowing the effect of the copied potion. At this time, he activated his magic power. Although he could not determine the range, he could sense the direction in which the potion appeared.
"It's this way..."
Then……
Chai Anping stood up with the wine glass and changed his position. He did not get close to the direction where the magic power was pointed. He drew an arc and came to another unoccupied table to sit down. Then he started to use his magic power to carefully feel the direction of the breath.
"Hey."
"What theorem is this?"
The two lines firmly lock the focus on a little fat man.
Chai Anping looked at the little fat man's movements in a vague and teasing way, and resisted the idea of stepping forward to disturb him.
The little fat man is not tall, very stocky, with a pair of small eyes. He looks young, only in his early twenties. He is wearing civilian clothes and looks honest and honest.
But his hands are not as honest as his appearance.
At this time, he was sitting at a table with two men. On the surface, he was chatting and laughing with them. In fact, from Chai Anping's angle, he could be seen handing two tubes of medicine to the two men respectively.
Naturally, you need to inspect the goods when receiving them, especially for something as valuable as alchemy potions.
The two men carefully opened the potion and each dropped two drops into their own wine.
For some reason, Chai Anping looked at the smiles on the three people's faces and it was clear that they were smiling lustfully.
The two couldn't wait to drink the wine in the cup, then closed their eyes and savored it carefully.
Chai Anping couldn't help but move closer to the three of them. Just when he wanted to hear what the three of them were talking about, he heard the little fat man saying proudly:
