Noble Quarter, inside the study of Viscount Crane.
Viscount Crane was tied to a chair, his neat black hair scattered, and his dark green eyes stared at the man in front of him wearing a funny clown mask.
The clown, who knows the "Sage" very well with the magician, with his fifth-level strength, was able to easily restrain Viscount Klein under the surprise attack.
"You're the clown the princess said you were talking about, and you're really crazy enough to attack me," Viscount Crane, the archon of Aalto City Hall, scolded angrily and a little in fear.
The clown looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lord Viscount, don't tell me that the magic you used just now was activated by an object, what is wrong with me arresting an evil magician according to the provisions of the canon, or do you want me to call you Mr.
Sage" Viscount Klein's disguised anger collapsed, and he said in shock: "How are you?"
Halfway through, he hurriedly stopped, as if he was worried that the clown was trying to trick him.
"Lord Viscount, we have known about your situation for a long time, but we have not arrested you.
This is mainly to see if you will repent, after all, you are a nobleman of high status, and it is a pity that you do not.
But you have one last chance, just tell me the Professor's whereabouts, and you can continue to be a nobleman and consul, and only need to secretly join the ranks of the Night's Watch.
The clown looked out the window, fearing that the "real" night watchmen would arrive at any moment.
Viscount Klein was stunned, and then sneered: "It turned out that it was to capture the professor, and it was really dangerous to have a relationship with the characters in this purification sequence, but I don't believe you, you have been removed from the night watch team, you are a dangerous fugitive, I better wait until the real night watch comes." ” He behaves like a clown, has no limits and insistence, is arrogant but sleek like most nobles, and can even cooperate with the devil if the interests are sufficient, so he will be more judgmental than other magicians when he knows that his identity has been revealed and he is caught.
And his ridicule now is clearly for the sake of fighting for better conditions The clown's exaggerated smile leaned in front of Viscount Crane and snorted: "Good idea, but you met me, and I was very anxious, afraid that the delay would arouse the professor's vigilance, so I wronged you, Lord Viscount Crane." ” Just as Crane's face changed drastically, the ten fingers of the clown's hands began to flick, causing Crane's muscles to twitch, and his eyes and mouth opened and closed under the Joker's command.
Gradually, the eyes of the "sage" Klein began to cloud, as if not only the body was indulged, but even the brain and soul were controlled.
Compared to other knightly night watchmen, the Joker is able to ask for true information even without the use of magic.
"What's your code name, is it an official magician, what's the department" The clown first adjusted the effect with a simple question.
Crane's eyes returned from cloudiness to clarity, and he looked the same as before, but he smiled uncharacteristically: "Back to Lord Clown, I am an official magician, codenamed Sage, and I am good at the astral system.
Because he couldn't activate the power of the bloodline, and there was no potion formula, and his status at that time could not be given by the Grand Duke, he found out some books that his ancestors secretly collected after killing the magician and began to study, trying to restore the potion formula that stimulates the power of the bloodline, but he found that he had the specialty of the star system, so he fell deeper and deeper. ” After confirming the effect, the Joker didn't ask Klein much of his own questions, and said bluntly, "How did you meet the professor this time and how should you contact him?"
"Back to Mr.
Clown, I was approached by the professor after I came back from the concert night.
He used the Four-Ring Magic Mirror to speak to me at a distance, asking to attend the latest gathering of the Magic Circles in order to tell them the news about the Magic Council headquarters.
Klein replied without concealment, "After I agreed, we met in private once, in an uninhabited garden villa at No. 116 in the Jisu District, and the contact mark was but I don't know where he really was hiding, and the meeting was a place he decided in advance." ” "Sure enough, a cautious, sinister and cunning professor, if he wants to use contact marks to design traps, it is easy for a guy like him to use conspiracy to see through."
The clown muttered at first, not feeling that his IQ was comparable to that of the professor.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Isn't No. 116 in the Gisu District where Lucien Evans used to live, it's a remote environment, and it hasn't been rented out yet, only an old servant is watching, it's very suitable for hiding in order to hide the secret relationship between the professor and Lucian, he is probably hiding there" The clown felt his blood boiling, and trembled with excitement, because he had probably discovered the professor's hiding place, and if he hadn't thoroughly investigated Lucian Evans and not let go of any details, no one would have thought of it.
But he was frightened by the professor, and forced himself to calm down, analyzing whether there were traps and conspiracies: "Lucian Evans is recuperating in the noble district villa, Natasha is said to be dealing with the affairs of the principality today, and has not left the Latasha Palace, if they suddenly appear at No. 116 in the Gisu district, anyone with eyes can see that it is a conspiracy against me and the night watchman, after all, I did not sneak into Lucien Evans's house, and they have no reason to appear there in the middle of the night." ” "It's impossible to design fire between me and other powerhouses, this is in Aalto City, not the Melzer Black Forest, as long as there is a fight at my level, it will soon alarm the high-level powerhouses, and then Juliana They will also come with the night watch team and the head of the inquisition."
The Joker knew that the ideal way was to wait for Juliana and them to do it, but the fire in his heart was burning, the grief and indignation of being wronged and asked to be executed, and the anger of watching his companion die, all made him want to catch the professor with his own hands, and he also had a certain confidence in his own strength, after all, he had contact with the professor, had first-hand information, and was not a person who judged his strength by the purification sequence.
After careful analysis, seeing that Juliana and the others had not yet arrived, he was worried that his actions against Klein would arouse the professor's alarm, and the clown quickly made a decision: "I'll go there first and scout carefully, step by step."
"See if there is a hidden, ambush magic array, if you can find the professor, then entangle him, cause the Aalto magic array to sense, let the high-level powerhouses pay attention, if you can't find it, or the villa is too weird, hide and hand it over to the night watchman.
After using his puppet ability to seal Viscount Crane's spiritual power, the Joker picked up a pen and paper on his desk and wrote down the news he had found, which was to avoid delaying time by the night watchman who came later to ask Crane, and only needed to confirm it from Crane's mouth according to what he wrote.
After doing all this, the clown left the aristocratic district and rushed to No. 116 in the Jisu district.
The entire garden villa is shrouded in dark shadows, like a lurking monster, which makes people's hearts palpitate.
The Joker carefully and carefully examined the surroundings of the garden villa, and found that there was no trace of the arrangement of the magic circle, so he gradually grew bolder, dragged out the afterimage and sneaked in, but along the way, he did not forget to check the surroundings, preferring to slow down rather than step into the professor's trap.
The villa was empty, and after knocking the old servant who was guarding it to sleep, the clown hid in the darkness while carefully examining house by house, trying to find clues.
Soon, the basement and the first floor were inspected, and the clown went up to the second floor more cautiously.
Viscount Klein's home.
Valdo, the "Substitute" of the Vaorit Inquisition, led a small team of night watchmen to the second floor silently, trying to find and control Viscount Crane.
They did not come to the door to arrest them openly, for fear of attracting the attention of the nobles in the surrounding villas, so as to leak the news and let the professor escape.
As soon as he stepped on the second floor, Waldo's nose, whose brown beard was about to cover his entire face, suddenly twitched slightly, and then he said in a solemn tone: "I smell blood and feel the breath of death. ” "What Lord Waldo, did something wrong with Viscount Crane, or did he kill the insider and abscond" Juliana worries that it was the Joker who failed to control the madness factor in her dark bloodline.
Waldo was tall, and he walked to the door of the study in two or three steps, and said solemnly: "There is only one dead man, and it is the blood smell of the millstone family." ” The Millstone family is the family to which Viscount Klein belongs.
As he spoke, he pushed the door open, and a strong smell of blood came to his face.
Juliana and the others looked into the room vigilantly, and immediately frowned, even the night watchman, who was accustomed to killing and dying, had a subconscious resistance to the slaughterhouse-like scene of dismemberment.
In the whole room, flesh and blood were flying, small pieces of meat crumbs and drops of blood were everywhere, and a single intact bone and flesh could not be found, giving people a bloody and cruel and demonic and disgusting feeling.
"This kind of murder scene is very familiar," I don't know which night watchman said.
Most of the Night's Watch immediately remembered that the guys who were torn apart by the Joker's puppet thread were basically like this.
"No way, Captain, there's no way he's going to kill Viscount Crane."

Juliana muttered to herself with a pale face.
Ignoring the squalor and gore in the room, Waldo stepped over to the desk, picked up the paper that had been pressed by the inkwell, looked at it carefully, and then grew louder and said in a solemn tone, "It was left by the clown."
He confirms that Viscount Crane is the Sage, and guesses that the Professor is hiding at 116 Gisu District.
It's his handwriting and the Night's Watchman's internal code, and no one can imitate it. ” Even Juliana, who believed in the clown the most, couldn't help but gasp, and began to believe that it was the clown who put the evil magician to death after asking the professor about his whereabouts.
If the identity of the sage was not Viscount Crane, it was not a strange and serious thing for the night watchman.
"Viscount Klein is a matter of magicians, and there is definite evidence within the Inquisition, and he should have resisted arrest and was killed.
Let's hurry up and get to No. 116 in Jisu District, where the professor may have some conspiracy.
Valdo, one of the three heads of the Inquisition, was more sympathetic to the clown, and gently suppressed the matter.
"Yes, Lord Valdo," the rest of the Night's Watch said in unison.
An evil magician kills and kills The clown carefully examines the traces in the room on the second floor while guarding against traps and the appearance of the professor, but it is true that no one has come for a long time and has neglected to clean it.
One by one, when the clown was about to be disappointed, he suddenly felt that there was someone in the study in front of him The Grand Knight's consciousness made him clearly aware of a man leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, as if enjoying the cool night breeze.
The "Professor" clown was taken aback, and could not have imagined that it would be so easy and so easy to discover the Professor And he didn't even find out before Although there were many doubts, when facing the evil and powerful mid-level magician, the clown did not dare to be careless, and directly popped out of the puppet line, and at the same time dodged to the side, speeding up to avoid being locked.
As the strength of the fifth-level knight was fully opened, the door of the room shattered, and the clown who turned into an afterimage was stunned to see that the man by the window was actually Lucian Evans He stood with his whole body bound and twisted, a stiff and strange smile on his handsome face, and then, under the inexplicable force, he fell directly to the side and backwards, falling downstairs like a swan shot by a bow and arrow.
The black gown, which was crumpled by ropes, the stiff and eerie smile, and the scene that seemed to freeze backwards, made up a bewitching oil painting that was forever imprinted in the clown's mind.
The professor would kill Lucien Evans in order to frame himself This is a situation that the clown could never have guessed.
In mid-air, Lucien Evans bloomed like a flower, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
