Celestial Mage

Chapter 46 The Secret Snooper

The guards had all seen blood, and when they smelled it, the faces of all three sank.

'Clang! '

The captain of the guard drew his sword and rushed into the cabin.

Rosen hurriedly followed in, and before entering the house, he heard the captain of the guard whisper: "Oh, damn it!"

Rosen poked his head to look, and saw the alchemist Stan lying on the table with a dagger stuck deep in the back of his heart, and there were several dishes of dishes on the table beside him.

Obviously, the other party was attacked while having breakfast.

The sneak attackers were very skillful, because alchemists didn't know much about spells, but they had mana. The mage's hands were generally very slick, and ordinary people were no match for them at all.

The corpse was still bleeding, and the blood on the ground had not completely solidified.

Rosen immediately said, "Uncle, he just died."

While speaking, a thought quickly flashed through his mind.

'It took less than 10 minutes for the person to die, but there were no footprints of the assassin in the yard. Did the assassin fly in, or did he only have time to clean up the footprints that entered the door, but had no time to get out? ! '

After thinking about it, Rosen immediately shouted: "Uncle, be careful, the assassin is probably still in the house!"

He was also fully alert, and looked around, looking for traces left by the assassin.

'Clang!Clang! '

The two guards also raised their shields.

The three soldiers and Rosen each stood in a position, back to back, and their eyes were all scanning the corner of the house.

The alchemist's wooden house is not big, it is single-story, and the internal structure is simple. The living room, bedroom, and kitchen are completely connected, and there is no partition in the middle. It is clear at a glance what is going on inside.

The eyes of the three guards turned around the room several times, not even letting go of the roof, but they didn't find any trace of the assassin.

"There seems to be no one." The captain of the guard said in a concentrated voice.

"Maybe jumping out of the window. Well, no, the rear window is too small to pass people, and there is no point in jumping through the front window." A guard said quickly.

"Maybe this little guy guessed wrong, he has already left." Another guard had a different opinion.

Rosen didn't speak, he was looking down at the floor.

There were muddy footprints on the floor, pools of blood, and blood splashes everywhere, but these messy traces did not seem to reveal valuable information, at least the three guards did not find it.

But Rosen found out.

He lowered his voice and said, "Three uncles, look under the carpet!"

The mage's hand gently lifted the blanket on the ground, revealing faint footprints, and the footprints stretched all the way to the inside of the room, until they disappeared behind a wooden board.

It can be imagined that the assassin originally wanted to leave, but because of Rosen's unexpected appearance, he was blocked in the room, so he lifted the carpet and walked, and when he reached the hiding place, he hid in and put down the carpet to cover his footprints.

The captain of the guard understood: "There is a secret room under the floor!"

He turned his head and gestured to the two guards behind him, then pointed to the floor.

"Go check it out and pry the floor open. Remember to be careful, don't be attacked."

The two guards stepped forward lightly, carefully inserted the long sword in their hands into the gap in the plank, and then pried it up at the same time.

"Bang!"

The wooden board was directly pried away, revealing a square hole, inside the hole was pitch black, nothing could be seen.

Rosen didn't dare to push him too hard, he quickly backed away, and didn't stop until he reached the door.

The three guards were also visibly nervous and did not dare to act rashly.

The captain of the guard looked around and found a windproof oil lamp on the wall, so he went to light it, and then hung it near the entrance of the cave with a wooden stick.

"Don't hide, come out!"

There was no response, and the flickering light slightly illuminated the secret room. It can be seen that this is a warehouse for storing supplies. Some wooden boxes can be seen from the side, but the hidden assassin cannot be seen.

The assassin in the secret room has become a trapped beast, whoever rushes up may be finished.

Everyone cherished their lives, and so did the guards. The three of them only surrounded the entrance of the cave, but they didn't dare to enter the secret room to check.

Naturally, Rosen didn't dare, the ghost knew how capable the assassin hidden inside was, if he was a master, he would die young.

Just because people don't dare to go, doesn't mean others don't dare.

Rosen thought about it, came up with an idea, leaned into the guard captain's ear and whispered, "Uncle, why don't you borrow a few ferocious hounds from someone nearby and throw them in?"

The guard captain's eyes lit up: "Aha, you have a good idea!"

He said to his subordinates: "Why are you standing still, why don't you go quickly?!"

"Yes, Captain."

After a while, the soldier came over with a man dressed as a butcher, and the butcher was holding a piece of meat bone in his left hand and three big strong dogs in his right hand.

Behind the two, another group of patrolling guards followed.

At the door, the captain of the guard told the butcher about the situation, and the butcher threw the bones into the secret room, and the three big dogs rushed in with a howl.

After a few seconds, there were ferocious barking sounds from inside the cave, as well as muffled groans when someone was injured.

After a while, the miserable howling of a dog was heard again, but immediately after, there was another miserable screaming of someone.

One can imagine the brutality of the battle, and the assassin must have been seriously injured.

Being able to be bitten like this by a few hounds is obviously average, and being able to kill an alchemist mainly takes advantage of a sneak attack.

Taking advantage of the human-dog battle in the secret room, two guards rushed to the entrance of the cave with two 3-meter-long iron guns, and stabbed continuously into the cave with the help of the light.

At this point, the overall situation is sealed.

It was only a matter of time before the assassin was caught.

During this period of time, Rosen wasn't just watching the show. When the guards subdued the assassin, his mind was still running at high speed.

"Alchemist Stan is a person of status, and direct silencing will cause extremely bad effects, so he has been alive."

"But when I started investigating the Marble embalming solution, he was killed immediately. It shows that the alchemist has seen the face of the real murderer, and it also shows that someone is secretly monitoring my every move."

"This monitor is likely to be the one who set the blame."

"If I were this person, I would definitely not assassinate the alchemist myself. Instead, I would spend money to find a professional assassin, and then hide nearby to observe the follow-up, so as to make the next step."

"So, the Chamber of Secrets Assassins can't actually ask anything."

Thinking of this, Rosen suddenly saw a mirror on the table beside him.

With a slight movement in his heart, the mage picked up the mirror with his hand.

Going to the window facing the street, I stood behind the wooden wall on one side of the window and hid, borrowing the mirror to quietly observe the situation in the alley.

Because of the commotion in the wooden house, many people had already gathered outside the yard to watch the fun.

Most of the people stood in the alley, and a small number of people stood in the house opposite the alley, or stood at the door, or stood at the window.

Rosen observed them one by one through the reflection of the mirror.

Looking at it, his gaze was fixed on the second floor window of a wooden building about 40 meters away.

The light in the window was dim, and the curtains were halfway down, revealing only a small gap.

"It's a little weird."

Rosen immediately summoned the adventure log, and through the log perspective, zoomed in to observe.

Now I can see clearly, there is a pair of eyes in the gap.

In broad daylight, if there is excitement, just watch it openly, why be so sneaky?

Unless he has ghosts in his heart!
But even so, Rosen was not in a hurry to act. He continued to observe the surrounding situation, looking for other suspicious spectators while looking at the terrain in this area.

After a quick look around, no second suspicious person was found.

In other words, the guy behind the curtain may be the murderer behind a series of recent murders, or at least an accomplice!
Rosen felt his heart beating faster, and used a mage's hand to put the mirror back.

Afterwards, he walked up to the captain of the guard: "Uncle, the assassin is doomed to escape. I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

The captain of the guard thought about it carefully, and found that this matter had nothing to do with the child, and it would be better if he left, so that he could take the credit for catching the murderer.

"Well, be careful on the road."

"I'll pay attention."

Rosen left the wooden house with the same expression on his face, walking in the alley normally.

But in fact, he had been observing the windows on the second floor through the adventure log, and soon discovered a subtle detail.

When he just walked out of the wooden house, the other party looked at him a few times. After he moved away from the wooden house, the other party's eyes returned to the alchemist's wooden house.

After thinking for a while, Rosen understood.

"That guy doesn't know me. There is a high probability that he is just an accomplice of the assassin, not the real murderer!"

That being the case, Rosen quietly walked to the bottom of the wooden house along the blind spot of the other party's line of sight.

When he reached the ground, his thoughts froze, and an iron ball flew out of his pocket. With a 'swish' sound, he turned and flew into the window on the second floor, and rushed towards the target's lower body.

I had already thought about it before I started, in case of accidental injury, it would be a big deal to lose money.If you guess right, you win.

'Pfft~~ah! '

The sound of the iron ball piercing into the flesh and the cry of pain sounded almost simultaneously, but the cry of pain was stopped forcefully after only half a sound.

Therefore, this small movement was not noticed by others.

But if he is a normal person, why should he suppress his screams?
This further proves Rosen's conjecture.

'Whoosh! '

Another iron ball flew out and still penetrated into the window on the second floor, but this time only a 'bang' was heard, the sound of hitting a wooden board.

The shot is empty, and the target has shifted position.

As soon as Luo Sen's thoughts were concentrated, his mana flowed, his body was suspended, and he went straight to the window on the second floor. At the same time, two iron balls swirled around his body, and the resisting force field was ready.

'Whoosh! '

The two iron balls got into the window first, and after they got in, they didn't fly straight, but drew an arc, turned a corner, and flew towards the walls on both sides of the window.

There were two "bang bang" sounds, and the dust on the wall was everywhere, but it didn't hit the flesh, indicating that there was no ambush behind the window.

Rosen then rushed into the room.

Once inside, stare around.

This is an empty room that no one lives in. Although the furnishings are complete, the surface is covered with a thick layer of dust.

On the floor near the window, a lot of blood can be seen, and footprints on the floor are also clearly visible, extending all the way to the door of the room.

One of the footprints on the ground is clear, but the other has obvious traces of dragging, indicating that the opponent was shot in the leg, but even though the opponent has suffered such injuries, he still has good athletic ability.

'He is very skilled. Although he was injured by my surprise attack, he has not lost his ability to fight.The situation inside the house is complicated, if you chase after him, you will get a carbine if you are not careful! '

The investigation belongs to the investigation, and the mentor may also be secretly protecting, but there will always be omissions.

So you still can't put your blood on it, otherwise it won't be enough to spend any number of lives.

Rosen thought for 2 seconds, several thoughts quickly turned in his mind, and then he jumped out of the window again.

What he didn't know was that on the ceiling of the corridor behind the door, a black figure held his breath, and his body was propped on the wall above the narrow corridor like a gecko.

Sombra's right leg trembled slightly from the pain, but his hand was tightly holding a black-painted dagger.

Hearing the movement in the room, the black shadow suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his body lost all strength, falling down from the ceiling like a feather.

Behind the face-wrapping mask, there is a pair of eyes full of horror.
