Celestial Mage
Chapter 52 A Strange Existence
Chapter 52 A Strange Existence
Oleg's room on the second floor of the Hound House.
One after another, personal belongings belonging to Oleg were dug out.
The leather bandage on the chest, the thick fur wrap around the waist, the shorts with a sausage bag sewn on them, and the unknown liquid that smelled like sweat, all silently told the fact that Olek was disguised as a man.
Chapolet stared blankly at the shorts containing the sausage, and murmured.
"No wonder I haven't noticed it for so many days, this guy's disguise is so meticulous."
Harrick was also in the room, and his face was full of gratitude for his survival after the catastrophe.
"Fortunately, fortunately. The current me has lost confidence in women. If I were replaced by the previous me, I'm afraid I would also be the target of temptation."
Rosen didn't speak.
He was still rummaging in the room, not letting go of even the tiniest corner.Judging by his appearance, it seemed that he planned to turn over the floor of the whole room.
After a while, Xia Bolai regained his composure, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat quietly oozing from his forehead.
"I once drank with her, got drunk, and often discussed the case with her. Looking back now, I really feel chills all over my body."
Seeing that Luo Sen was still rummaging through it, he asked in puzzlement, "Luo Sen, what are you looking for?"
Rosen kept moving: "I'm looking for evidence. Sufficient evidence to prove that Olek is the real culprit behind the scenes."
Chapolet patted the booklet with a red cover.
"Isn't this evidence sufficient? The blood sacrifice ceremony recorded above is exactly the same as the victim's tragic death!"
He turned to the corresponding page and read: "Using the hottest blood of a man as a guide, to offer the sweetest soul to the King of Neverwinter. Listen to this, just reading it makes you feel full of evil."
At this time, Rosen had searched all over the room, but he still couldn't find any familiar fingerprints. More precisely, he couldn't find any fingerprints in the room.
"Olek doesn't have fingerprints, isn't this guy a ghost?"
He had just clearly seen Olek grab the doorknob with his hands without gloves, and as a result the brass doorknob was bare.
Let alone fingerprints, there is no sweat on the hands.
Moreover, the abnormalities are not limited to fingerprints.
In the room, Rosen didn't find any fallen hair or naturally shed skin flakes, not on the floor, not even on the quilt next to him!
Weirdly a little scary.
Sensing the inquiring gazes of Xia Bolai and Harrick, Rosen didn't want to be troublesome, and said with a smile, "I just find it strange, and I want to know more about Olek."
Harrick didn't take it seriously: "What does the murderer need to know? The most important thing now is to go to the sheriff and restore your mentor's reputation."
Rosen nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the most important thing. My mentor has been wronged a lot."
Xia Bolai nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, that's right, I just feel something is wrong. Even though Serendis is insane, it's not enough for him to do such a stupid thing."
Harrick muttered in a low voice: "Last night, I didn't know who it was, and I kept vowing to catch Serendis."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xia Bolai's fat face, as if he hadn't heard this.
He asked, "Rosen, shall we go?"
"okay."
Xia Bolai found a package, put all the things found in the room into it, and left with the package on his back.
Rosen followed quickly.
When the two walked out of the Hound House and walked for a while on the street, Xia Bolai suddenly sighed and looked lonely.
"I didn't expect Oleke to be such a person. It's really hard to know people."
He thought he had made a good friend, but it turned out to be a sinister, cunning and cruel bastard.
Rosen didn't speak, and raised his hand to pat Xia Bolai's arm as a sign of comfort.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at the Chengnan Security Office.
Chapolet put the "Blood Sacrifice Book" and a bunch of evidence on the table, and told the cause and effect of the speculation to the magistrate Rafale.
The sheriff immediately believed it.
The first reason is that this sacrificial tome is too sinister, and while the pile of props for women disguised as men is astonishing, it also clearly reveals the dark psychology of the dresser.
The second is because of Chapolei's noble status.No matter how unbearable he is, he is also a member of the Omicia family and the earl's nephew.
Soon, the arrest warrant for mage Serrandis was canceled and changed to a restriction order, ordering Serrandis to report back to the city hall within three days and accept the inquiry of the magistrate.
At the same time, the bounty hunter Olek's reward was also posted on various bulletin boards.
Coming out of the Security Office, Xia Bolai said to Rosen: "This matter involves an official mage, so we have to go to the mage guild and report the situation to them."
This was exactly what Rosen wanted, and he nodded immediately: "No problem. It's getting late, let's go now."
Xiapolei took Rosen and hurried to the mage guild in the castle area of Silvermoon Castle.
Halfway through the journey, Rosen suddenly slapped his head and stopped.
Xia Bolai walked a few steps, saw that Rosen had not followed, and retreated to his side: "Why don't you leave?"
Rosen smiled slightly, and turned to look at a sycamore tree by the street.
There is a stone pier under the bare canopy, and on the stone pier sits an old beggar woman with silver-white hair, a face like chicken skin, and a hunchback figure.
Xia Bolai followed his gaze and said, "Such beggar women are everywhere. If you feel sorry for her, don't give her money, just buy her some food."
Rosen couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, you should get a pair of reading glasses."
"What do you mean?"
Chapolei was confused and refused to accept the excuse.
"I have very good eyesight. A young girl ten miles away, I can tell at a glance whether she is chaste or not."
Rosen laughed, walked quickly towards the beggar woman, stroked her chest with one hand, and bowed in salute.
"Teacher, thank you for protecting me in secret."
The old beggar woman froze for a moment, and then let out a crisp laugh: "My dearest apprentice, how did you recognize me?"
Rosen smiled slightly, and pointed to his forehead: "Teacher, in my memory, you stayed near me all day today."
The 'old beggar woman' giggled, took off the white wig and the strange leather mask on her head, and shook her head again, her thick fiery red hair cascading down like a waterfall.
It was Rosen who had recognized his mentor for less than two weeks, Anna Serendis.
Xia Bolai's jaw almost dropped in shock.
Serrandis smiled and said, "Chapolei, I have to thank you for sending me a great apprentice, otherwise it would be a little troublesome this time."
There was no complacency on Rosen's face. He smiled and said, "Teacher, if you hadn't been protecting me secretly, I wouldn't have dared to investigate desperately. But I believe this is just a small problem for you."
Serrandis raised his hand to caress Rosen's cheek.
"No, no, my dearest apprentice, the mentor is really in trouble, and you must have noticed that this incident is very strange, involving some incomprehensible existences."
Rosen felt the same: "Olek is indeed a strange existence."
No fingerprints, no normal human metabolites, women disguised as men, and possessed a series of weird spells.
In short, the deeper you understand, the more you feel that this guy is unfathomable.
"I originally thought that I would be forced to leave Silvermoon Castle, but I didn't expect that I would recover my innocence in less than a day."
"And all of this depends on the unremitting efforts of my dearest apprentice."
While speaking, her onyx-like eyes looked at Rosen, which were full of soft light.
Then, ignoring Chapolei and the passers-by on the street, she lowered her head and kissed Rosen on the lips.
Kissing in the street is very indecent in this world, and people will point their spines and scold them severely.
Rosen subconsciously wanted to hide.
But before his head moved, it was fixed by the mage's hand, and he could only accept it passively.
With the kiss in front, Rosen was quite calm at first, but he still didn't let go after five or six seconds, and he suddenly felt narrow.
"Teacher, you forced me to do this."
Quietly sticking out his tongue and licking it, he thought he would be punished, but he didn't expect Serendis to respond.
Rosen's heart skipped a beat, and his heartbeat accelerated.
If it was on Earth, his hands would definitely not be idle, but he dared not be too presumptuous in the face of a powerful mentor.
It lasted for a few more seconds before Serrandis finally let go of the restraint. Her eyes were rippling and radiant. She looked carefully at Rosen's face for a while, then leaned closer to Rosen's ear and whispered softly.
"Go home later, and I will give you a big reward."
Next to him, Xia Bolai's jaw dropped completely to the ground, and he pointed at the two of them with trembling fingers.
"You. This. This. Serendis, this is not fair, you should kiss me too."
Serrandis squinted at Chapolei, showing helplessness.
"I'm so sorry, I don't like men who are shorter than me, except, of course, my dearest apprentice."
"Pfft~"
Xia Bolai, who was half a head taller than Serrandis, received a fatal blow, his eyes went black, and he almost vomited blood in the street.
Seeing that it was getting late, Rosen reminded: "Uncle, mentor, I have to go to the mage guild."
Xia Bolai sighed, his face barely returned to normal, and he waved his hand vigorously, as if he was waving away the loneliness in his heart.
"Miss Serrandis, let's take a walk together. When you get to the guild, you just have to express your grievances to Mr. Phelan."
Mr. Fei Lun, a high-level peak mage, has a powerful spellcasting ability of 15 stars, and is also the president of the Silver Moon Castle Mage Guild.
In the mage world of Silvermoon Castle, he is second only to Earl Omisia, the Great Moon Sorcerer, in terms of personal prestige and skills.
As an intermediate mage, Serrandis, being involved in such a murder case, the most important thing to win is the support of Mage Faerun.
As long as Master Faerun believed that Serrandis was innocent, almost no one would question the result.
Afterwards, all you need to do is say hello to the Security Office in the south of the city, and the security officer will immediately revoke the movement ban on Serendis.
Serrandis smiled slightly: "That's exactly what I mean."
It's still three shifts today.
