"Mage Kardashian, I didn't expect you to come so early. Aren't you going to listen to the mayor's speech today?"
Inside the leather shop, Finkle, who was holding a measuring tape in his hand, saw the figure pushing the door open and quickly got up to welcome him.
"Him? In this kind of situation, isn't he just saying some polite words? It doesn't matter whether he listens or not. "
Kardashian sat at the side indifferently. In her eyes, the high heels were more important than listening to Roddy's speech. "I thought for a long time last night. How about changing the leather around the ankle? Do you think this can be added? "
She handed a small piece of blue leather to Finkle. Finkle touched it with his hand and found that the surface of the leather was smooth and delicate. Although it was covered with fine scales, it did not feel prickly at all.
The Finkle family had been cobblers for generations. They had seen all kinds of leather and basically knew the rough with just a touch. However, he had no clue about the scale in front of him. The only thing he could be sure of was that this leather was definitely not something an ordinary magic beast could have. Because the magic wave emitted from the surface was too obvious. Even if he was not a mage, he still felt a chill in his hand.
"This, if it can be cut, it's possible."
"I've handled it. You should be able to cut it."
Hearing Kardashian's words, Finkle quickly kept the leather. He had a vague guess in his heart, but it was obviously not the time to ask. He could only measure Kardashian more seriously. However, after less than ten minutes, Kardashian suddenly raised her head and looked at the wall in front of her. She asked aloud, "Boss, do you have an enemy in Elsen City?"
"Enemy?" Finkle raised his head and asked in a daze, "Do you mean someone who has a fierce conflict with me?"
"Yes, the kind that wants your life."
Kardashian answered.

At the same time, Roddy and Camilla had already gotten off the carriage and walked towards the city square.
The mages participating in the conference were taking their seats one after another. Roddy immediately saw Crohn and Strange discussing in the front row. These two mages had completely sided with Elsen City and were the main targets of future cooperation. 'Circle of Mystery' Scarlet was meditating on the side. She seemed a little aloof and had been maintaining a neutral attitude. She probably hadn't seen anything that really interested her.
"Phantom Eye" Gustav was obviously a "royalist", but he didn't seem to be familiar with the two archmages, Blanche and Tucker. The latter two obviously had a stronger battle aura.
Roddy glanced at it and had already roughly matched the contents of what Camilla had said last night. At this time, the square was surrounded by well-equipped guards. There were also High Elf Mages watching the podium. When Roddy walked to the podium, the guards on both sides were powerful "Dragon Spear Knights". Not only did the charging lance in their hands look magnificent, but its power was also not something an ordinary mage could defend against.
In his field of vision, there were three small Floating-Space Towers surrounding the square, watching for any possible accidents. Even if there was a problem in the conference, Roddy was confident that he could control the situation immediately. He walked forward and suddenly realized that Camilla didn't follow him —
"What? Is there a problem? "
Camilla had the right to monitor every corner of the city. Because there were so many people in the city, she couldn't scan everyone's status at all times. Therefore, after the "Elsen Central Intelligence Agency" put some people into the "blacklist", she would check the status of these mages from time to time … At this time, she suddenly found three mages standing at the same time in an empty alley behind a building, chanting spells at the wall in front of them!
"Someone wants to destroy the house … over there!"
Camilla said and immediately pointed to the location of "Finkle's Leather Shop". At the same time, she said hurriedly, "No, I have to stop them immediately!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Camilla turned around and silently cast the "Levitation Spell". Her whole body flew out like an arrow!
Roddy's reaction was not slow either. Even if he didn't wear the dragon scale leather armor today, the robe he was wearing was not ordinary either. With his attributes and the support of various titles, he was not any worse than his usual state outside the city. He said to the soldier next to him, "Temporarily postpone the speech." Then, he quickly followed Camilla's figure and quickly ran towards the destination.
As the scenery moved to both sides, Roddy suddenly remembered Houdini's description of the dream: Could it be that the dark cloud that shrouded Elsen was referring to this threat?
At the same time, the slowly rotating Floating-Space Towers in the sky also began to change their original floating trajectory. However, as they were almost a hundred meters above the ground, they did not attract the attention of others.
Most of the mages at the scene saw the scene in front of them. Some of them looked at the two who suddenly left, not knowing what exactly happened. However, Blanche and Tucker who had a guilty conscience looked at each other, both of them realized that their plan might have been discovered by the other party …
Someone curiously chased after the two mages, and the two mages also pretended to be interested and left the venue. However, the two of them were too worried, and did not notice that there was also a group of people around the venue who changed their original trajectory at the same time …
Elder Dominic did not expect Roddy and Camilla to leave so suddenly. For a moment, he even thought that his team had been discovered. However, the posture of the two indicated that their attention was attracted by something else.
"Go after them."
Dominic did not say anything, instead, he used a seemingly casual gesture to give the order. The arcanists who were scattered around immediately began to move. They were nervous and excited about the upcoming battle. For the team of the Holy Assembly, they would have a higher chance of success if they could get away from the sorcerers' encirclement!
At the same time, Kardashian who was in the leather shop was obviously confused by Finkle's answer … In her eyes, she had no grudge against anyone in Elsen City, and no one would come to find trouble with her. The target of these people outside the house was obviously Finkle, because Kardashian had already recognized that their magic circle would only cause the effect of "collapsing the house".
Even if the house was made of stone, did they really think that it could crush a giant dragon?
From the perspective of the Dragons, this was obviously a conspiracy and a fight between mortals. However, she obviously did not realize that the two mages from the Kingdom of Karen had indeed targeted her for "accidental death" …
"Crack!"
The magic circle began to take effect, and cracks immediately appeared on the few load-bearing pillars in the house. Finkle was shocked by this scene. When he turned his head, he found that there was also a huge crack on the wall in front of him!
The next moment, Kardashian found that the air around her suddenly became stagnant … Ordinary people would not be able to notice this at all, because the effect of this "Elemental Lock" was to greatly reduce the success rate of casting spells in a specific area.
Kardashian raised her eyebrows. She finally realized that the scene in front of her seemed to have deviated from her judgment. Could it be that these mages outside were here for her, who was pretending to be a "rookie mage"?
The only response she got was the collapse of the roof.
*****
"Oh no!"
Camilla, who was flying in the air, looked at the collapsed house not far away, and her face turned pale.
At this time, the mages who committed the crime had already scattered in all directions. Although Camilla knew who the murderer was, it was obvious that saving people was the most important thing right now. She felt very guilty in her heart. Although she had been on guard against these mages, she did not expect them to be so ruthless.
Using the blood of innocent people to create trouble, although this kind of behavior could easily be used against them, but no matter how it was handled, the purpose of "destroying the magic conference" had been achieved!
The reason why "terrorist attacks" were despicable was because the purpose was not to kill or injure people, but to spread "terror". If it was a civilian who died, perhaps the mages would only feel uneasy. But if it was a mage who died, who would be willing to stay in Elsen City to participate in the conference? Who could guarantee that the next person to die would not be themselves?
It was only 150 meters from the side of the square, and Camilla basically only took five seconds to land in front of the shop. However, the mages who did this obviously knew how to use the weight of the building to destroy … The weapon shop on the left and the small restaurant on the right were undamaged, but the two-story leather shop had completely collapsed in the smoke and dust. Looking at the thick and solid stone wall, it was very likely that the people in the shop were dead!
Camilla immediately released her magic and began to move the stones above. Her eyes were full of anxiety, and she immediately used the ability of the "Guardian" to investigate. Fortunately, the two people below were temporarily still alive.
Roddy, who rushed over from behind, looked at Camilla who was carefully moving the stones in front of him. He knew that she was afraid of hurting the survivors too much. He turned his head and looked around. Many people on the street were frightened by the scene and surrounded them curiously. He immediately shouted to the soldiers who were maintaining order not far away, "Stop everyone who comes near!"
Although Roddy did not have much experience in dealing with emergencies, he had seen it on TV and the Internet. Naturally, he would not just stand there like an idiot. Blocking the scene, controlling the rumors, and finally issuing a unified announcement and handling results. A series of procedures quickly appeared in his mind.
Roddy did not know many spells, so he could only order the mages of the "Elsen Magic Research" to isolate the scene with the "Black Fog Barrier". However, different from what he remembered, the current Elsen was not in an era of peace. Roddy cautiously opened the "Witcher's Vision" and looked around. Suddenly, he was stunned.
How could the blue light in the ruins be so dazzling? Could it be that there was a magus inside?
What was even more ridiculous was that he immediately found that among the crowd around him, there were more than a dozen people who appeared to be very different from the ordinary mages. Instead, they were very similar to Camilla …
Such an abnormal scene made Roddy frown. He only froze for a moment before he realized who it was in front of him!
"Camilla, be careful!"
