In the world of magic, all magicians had to abide by three absolute rules.
Among them, the first was an iron law that no magician was allowed to violate — 'Mystery should be hidden'.
In the world of magic, there was a concept that almost everyone agreed on — there was a limit to how much mystery there could be.
The total amount of [Mystery] that a magician could use was limited. The more people knew about [Mystery], the more its power would be dispersed and the weaker the [Mystery] that a magician could control would be. Therefore, magicians had to limit [Mystery] to a certain range and only a small number of people could recognize and learn [Mystery].
This was also the reason why most people in the world didn't know about the existence of supernatural abilities like magic. [Mystery] was strictly controlled by magicians and not allowed to be recognized by ordinary people.
In view of this, after Ryuga released the magical power in her body on the street, she immediately attracted the attention of several magicians. They wanted to know which idiot dared to violate the first iron rule in the Clock Tower.
"This is indeed the headquarters of magicians. There are so many of them. I can easily find a few of them …"
Ryuga observed the reactions of the surrounding crowd and keenly discovered a few pedestrians who cast strange looks at her.
Ordinary people wouldn't react to magical power. Only magicians who knew about [Mystery] could detect magical power.
Ryuga randomly chose a person and memorized his appearance. Then, without hesitation, she turned around and walked into the alley.
The magicians in the crowd were stunned. They were baffled by the sudden turn of events.
What was the meaning of violating the rules and releasing magical power on the street and suddenly running away?
"Boom!"
Then, an orange-red flame soared into the sky from the alley. At the same time, there was a rumbling sound as if a bomb had exploded. The surrounding crowd instantly went into an uproar and attracted the attention of everyone nearby.
The few magicians were even more confused. They were baffled by Ryuga's intention.
Then —
"Whoosh —"
A scorching gust of wind suddenly blew and the crowd, including the magicians, couldn't help but cover their eyes.
One of the young male magicians, who was about 20 years old, looked in the direction of the explosion and was immediately fascinated by the gust of wind. He couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes.
In the next moment, he suddenly felt light as if he was lifted up by a strong force and floated in the air.
Two seconds later.
When the scorching wind was over, everyone on the street put down their hands that were covering their eyes and looked at each other in dismay.
The magicians were also on guard, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see any other movements, which made them puzzled.
They didn't seem to have any interactions with each other and they didn't even realize that one of their kind was missing.
…
On the other side of the alley.
Ryuga threw the young magician to the ground, causing him to feel dizzy. At the same time, he took out a pistol from behind his waist and aimed the muzzle at the young magician's forehead.
By the way, after exiting the [World Passage], Ryuga had used the [Transformation] ability and deliberately turned into a tall young man to make it easier for him to hide his real body.
"If you don't want to die, answer my questions honestly."
In order to prevent any accidents, Ryuga had activated [Future Vision] and observed all possible reactions of the young magician.
Due to [Common Sense] giving him the local language, he was able to communicate with the locals without any barriers. At this moment, he was absolutely proficient in English.
"Yes! Yes! "
The young magician on the ground came back to his senses and looked at the black muzzle in front of him. He immediately became fearful and quickly promised Ryuga.
"No problem! No matter what kind of questions you have, as long as I know, I'll tell you! "
The young magician nodded quickly and looked extremely obedient. He didn't even dare to make the slightest movement as he was afraid that Ryuga's gun would go off accidentally and he would lose his life right there and then.
"Very good."
Ryuga nodded. From his Future Vision, he didn't see any signs of resistance from the young magician. He then asked his question.
"Adelo, the City of Stripping, the Two-Faced Tower, Izeluma, and the Magic Eye Collection Train. Tell me everything you know about these three names."
"Huh?"
The young magician was stunned and a confused expression appeared on his face. "I've heard of the Two-Faced Tower … But what are the City of Stripping and the Magic Eye Collection Train?"
"You don't know?"
Ryuga's eyes were fixed on the young magician's eyes, trying to see if he was lying from the young magician's reaction.
"Other than the Two-Faced Tower, I don't know anything else."
The young magician replied obediently. "I'm actually just an apprentice in the [All Basics Course]. Even my magic rank is only the sixth [First Born]. Of course, I don't know much."
Speaking of which, as the Clock Tower's headquarters that resembled Big Ben, [Common sense] indicated that it was indeed the most basic teaching building among the 12 subjects of the Clock Tower, [All Basics]. Most of the students inside were still learning basic knowledge.
"Then do you know of any magicians nearby who are more well-informed?"
Ryuga frowned slightly and continued to ask the young magician.
"Erm … I know of one. He's known as the 'Intelligence of the Clock Tower'. I'm not sure if he meets your requirements …"
The young magician carefully looked at Ryuga's eyes. At the same time, he manipulated the magic circuit in his body and memorized Ryuga's appearance in his mind. He would be able to 'print' his appearance when he returned.
This was a simple use of the [Magic Circuit]. He could record what he saw in his mind at will and then continue to replay it in his mind. The function was similar to a video recorder.
"Then tell me everything you know about that informant and the Twin Faces Pagoda."
Ryuga looked at the young magician indifferently. "Don't try to fool me. Otherwise, you'll never want to know what I'll do to you."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The young magician quickly nodded and then told Ryuga everything he knew about the intelligence and the Two-Faced Tower. He did not hide anything.
Before he escaped with his life, he did not intend to lie. As for whether the intelligence would be targeted by Ryuga, he did not even care about his own life. Why would he care about others?
A few minutes later, Ryuga got the information she wanted from the young magician.
Then, Ryuga put away the pistol in her hand.
The young magician quickly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he secretly decided that as soon as he returned, he would spread the information about Ryuga. As long as the crime of 'violating the principle of secrecy' was reported to the [Law Department], the young magician's ending would be very tragic.
In the next moment, a light blue light of spiritual droplets was imprinted in his eyes.
He was slightly stunned.
Then, a dazzling sword flashed and a head fell to the ground.
