"You seem to be wearing normal clothes." Kael looked at the woman in the illusion and muttered, "I don't think there's anything strange about her other than her flamingos."
"So what if she looks like a flamingos?" Dorcas casually complained, but after he finished, he thought about it carefully. Kael's description was quite accurate. This woman really did look like a flamingo.
"There were many more extravagant outfits in the black market," Kael said as he tried to recall something. His cheeks reddened as he recalled something.
"That's the black market. Wizards are the majority there. You're comparing the black market with mortals?" Dorcas looked at Mia. "What do you think? Is she from Hero Team?"
Mia stared at the illusion in front of her and took several steps back in fear. But when she confirmed that it wasn't a real person, she showed a look of disgust.
"She's not from Hero Team. She's from Inferno Adventurers, and she calls herself Miss Red. However, she's just like the Hero Team. She's not a good person. "
The second half of Mia's sentence was obviously filled with personal emotions, so everyone ignored it and listened to the first half of her sentence.
"Isn't that right? Inferno Adventurers? What a cliché name. "
"Miss Red used to be a member of Inferno Adventurers. She was the only one left after the whole adventurers were wiped out. She then founded a new adventurers, which is the current Inferno Adventurers," Mia explained.
"Inferno Adventurers are even more cliché. This woman's path is quite interesting." Dorcas shrugged and looked at Angor. "You won't find the same thing as me, right?"
Angor shook his head and pointed a finger. The illusion nodes quickly rearranged themselves, and a burly man who looked like an iron tower appeared in front of them.
He was at least three meters tall and wore a full set of heavy armor. He held a two-meter-long shield in one hand and a flail in the other.
This kind of attire wasn't unusual in the wizarding world, but it was quite eye-catching among mortals. Also, judging from his size, Angor guessed that his ancestor had some giant blood in him. If he were to be placed in a group of ordinary people, he would definitely stand out from the crowd.
Mia observed for a moment, but kept retreating. Even if it was just an illusion, the other party's tall physique gave her a great sense of pressure.
In the end, Mia shook her head. "I don't know if he's from the Hero Team. As I said before, I don't recognize all the members of the Hero Team. I don't know who he is. "
"Then it's ruled out," Angor said without hesitation.
This was because Mia had mentioned that the members of the Hero Team that she hadn't seen were all logisticians. This towering man didn't look like a logistician no matter how she looked at it. Instead, he looked like a vanguard who was charging at the front to block the attacks.
Since Mia had never seen him before, he was definitely not a member of the Hero Team.
Both Angor and Dorcas failed at the same time. They had no choice but to continue. But this time, Dorcas learned his lesson. He didn't force Angor to use a few fewer Wizard Eyes, which was a relief for him. Angor had a lot of scouting puppets anyway, so he didn't mind using a few Wizard Eyes.
Next, Angor and Dorcas searched for people who thought they were exaggerating and asked Mia to observe them.
But even after recognizing several of them, none of them made Mia nod. Either she had never seen them before, or she had seen them before, but they were from other adventurers.
About an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Dorcas opened his eyes again and created an illusion puzzle in which a hunched man with a gloomy face was holding a walking stick with a snake head. There were also two poisonous snakes hanging around his neck. It looked quite frightening.
Mia glanced at the figure and said, "The leader of Viper is not someone to be trifled with. The leather pouch on his waist is filled with venomous snakes, and he can control them. Previously, our regiment commander guessed that he was a superhuman like you, sir. "
"No," Dorcas said, "he's not a supernatural. He must be using something like a snake flute to control the snakes. That's not common in the Goman Kingdom, but there are some street performers who use this trick to earn money in Noon Farmer Duchy."
After Dorcas gave a simple explanation, he sighed. "I originally thought that searching for someone would be a simple task. I didn't think that it would be much harder than I imagined."
Dorcas walked to Wai and patted his shoulder. "I should've asked you to hoist the ground instead."
Wai quietly wrote a line of words on the ground. "I'm not hoeing the ground."
"Something like that," Dorcas said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold aura surrounded Dorcas. Dorcas backed away in fear and looked at the stone slab containing the Black Earl's nose. "No way. Can't I just say that?"
"Hmph. Keep your mouth shut and you'll shut up like him," the Black Earl said in a cold tone.
That was true, but the Black Earl wouldn't actually do that. Wai told him that Dorcas had a strong sense of perception, and this experience proved that Wai was right. If Dorcas really muted Dorcas, it would be a great loss to their search.
Besides, the Black Earl wasn't sure if he could mute a Bloodline Wizard. After all, Dorcas only had a nose.
"Fine, I'll stop talking about earth wizards." Dorcas raised his hands in surrender. "I'll keep looking."
Angor opened his eyes as well. Dorcas stopped using his Wizard Eye and decided to check Angor's condition first.
Angor was also tired of searching, so he didn't say anything and simply created a new character.
It was a very ordinary looking woman. She wore a black shirt and pants, had her hair tied up, and held a dagger in her hand as she carefully walked around the ruin.
"She doesn't look exaggerated at all, does she?" Kael whispered.
Dorcas was about to say the same thing, but Kael beat him to it. "You're only looking at the surface, while Angor is looking at the inside. You don't think a super dimensional wizard can't tell if someone is exaggerating or not, do you? "
Kael agreed with Dorcas' explanation.
Dorcas continued, "Also, Miya didn't say anything about exaggerating. Maybe she thinks it's exaggerating, but it's this kind of ordinary dressing?"
Mia glanced at Dorcas and held back the retort that rose to her throat. She herself was dressed very plainly, how could she not be able to distinguish between extravagant and ordinary?
"No." Miya shook her head.
"Wait a moment," Angor said.
A moment later, the woman went into a dark corner of the ruin and came out as a 1.8-meter-tall man wearing a trench coat and leather boots.
After a while, in a dark room, she disguised herself as a young man.
After so many disguises, everyone could see that she used make-up and various small items to disguise herself. What surprised them the most was that she looked exactly the same. The young man's eyes were bright, and his expression was immature. There was also a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
She completely grasped the expressions and details of these characters.
Even Dorcas had to admit that if he had only used his eyes and not paid attention to the other party, he might have made a mistake.
"Is she?" Angor asked again.
Miya considered for a while. "I'm not sure. I didn't hear of anyone in any adventurer group in Zone Three who can disguise themselves so well. Maybe she's one of the backups of Hero Team? "
"Don't jump to conclusions. Let's keep looking." With that, Dorcas prepared to activate his Wizard Eyes again.
But Angor hesitated and said, "I found another one. He's not dressed too ostentatiously, but …"
"But what?" Everyone looked at him in confusion. Dorcas also asked.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to use an illusion to construct the figure.
Not long after, a … little boy appeared in front of everyone. Yes, a boy no older than ten years old.
As soon as they saw the boy, they knew why Angor was hesitating.
The boy was wearing a standard hero costume, which included a red cape, a small felt hat, a shirt, and a vest. There was also a pocket-sized wooden sword attached to his belt.
Judging from the innocent look on the boy's face, his heroic gestures, and his strange mumbling, this was probably the real deal. He was not one of those old geezers in disguise.
An adult's costume would barely qualify as ostentatious. However, it was perfectly normal for a little boy to wear such "strange" costumes.
None of them would think it was strange for a child to wear something like this.
But the boy was wearing a popular hero costume. Could it be related to Hero Team?
This was probably why Angor still showed the image to everyone despite his hesitation.
This time, Mia took a long time to observe. When Dorcas was about to activate a few Warlock's Eyes, Mia spoke slowly, "I've never seen him before. However, his outfit is very similar to Lightning from the Hero Squad. "
She explained that there was a hero in Hero Team called Lightning, who wore a large felt hat, a red cape, and a long sword. The reason why he was codenamed "Lightning" was because he was very fast with his sword. Moreover, his sword did not follow the path of a "cross" sword that was commonly used by knights. Instead, it followed the path of a "Z" sword, which looked like a lightning symbol. Therefore, he was called Lightning.
"Are you sure he looks like Lightning?" Dorcas asked.
Mia hesitated again. The boy was a child after all, and this kind of costume was common.
While Mia was still hesitating, Angor suddenly pointed at the boy in the image. As if he had taken a growth booster, the boy in the image passed through the early stages of his life in just a few seconds.
In the end, they saw an adult version of the boy, who still looked like a child.
Angor said, "I simulated his appearance when he grows up. Take a look. Does it look familiar?"
Mia didn't expect Angor to do this. After recovering from her shock, she looked at the boy in the image again.
A moment later, she spoke in a firm tone, "He must be related to Lightning. He looks just like Lightning when he grows up. It's like they're made from the same mold."
After hearing Mia's answer, everyone looked at each other and decided on their next course of action.
"Let's go check out the boy," Dorcas said. "We didn't find the adult first, but the kid showed up first."
"Where did you find him?" Dorcas looked at Angor.
"The woman who disguised herself as a strong woman came to the place where the child is."
Angor remained silent for a moment. "They're mother and son, I think."
Dorcas said, "So, the woman just now was really a logistics member of the Hero Team? Or Lightning's wife? "
Angor glanced at Dorcas and answered in Dorcas' own words, "Don't jump to conclusions when you don't know for sure."
Dorcas rolled his eyes at Angor. "Of course. If I say it's her, then it's her."
Angor gave Dorcas a careful look and nodded. "You're right."
Dorcas didn't know what to say. You changed your mind a bit too fast.
"You trust me that much?"
"Well, you're such a good reader. If you think it's true, then it's true."
"I didn't have any inspiration, so I just said it without thinking."
Angor looked more determined. "All the more reason to believe you."
Ever since they came to the ruin, Dorcas' words always lit up the right path. Angor had no choice but to believe him.
But Angor himself was a wizard. Why didn't Dorcas have such strong inspiration?
While sighing in his mind, Angor ordered Speed Spirit to buff everyone with the power of wind again, and they quickly flew toward their destination.
Several minutes later, they arrived at a dilapidated building.
At least 80% of the building had collapsed. Judging from what was left of it, it should be an ordinary house. Of course, Nether City used to be a supernatural city, so the so-called houses were probably the residences of supernaturals.
Angor walked into the dilapidated building and went to one side. There were broken stones scattered around, but nothing seemed out of place.
However, when he slowly swept the stones away, he saw a square tile that was almost intact.
"They're down there. There's a cellar down there … The woman was very careful. Before entering the cellar, she would pile up some stones on a stone slab nearby. As soon as she entered the cellar, she would use a thin string to remove the stones, which would cover the entrance of the cellar."
Dorcas picked up the stone slab and saw a thin line on it. If one didn't look carefully, they would easily notice it.
"Smart. But it makes sense. Someone who dares to look for treasures here with her child must have some skills," Dorcas praised, which was rare of him.
While Dorcas was admiring, Angor already used Hand of Spell to open the tile.
There was a hidden mechanism under the tile, which was also set up by the woman. But Angor already removed it with Hand of Spell, so he didn't mention it. It didn't matter whether he mentioned it or not.
Soon, only Angor and Mia were left in the open space.
Mia looked at the dark hole and asked worriedly, "Do I have to go down there too?"
"You can choose to stay outside or leave," Angor said.
Mia's face was filled with fear. "Right now, District 3 is filled with my enemies. As long as I go out, I'll definitely die."
"Then follow me. Once we confirm that you're a member of Hero Team, I'll let you go. Then, I'll cast a defensive spell on you. "
Defense. Mia could roughly guess what ability it was from the name. After tasting Wind's Blessing, Mia was well aware of the terror of Transcendent powers.
With the spell, she should be able to leave alive.
With that in mind, Mia nodded and closed her eyes to cheer herself up. Then she followed Dorcas into the hole.
Angor stayed where he was for two seconds before he entered the hole as well. Before entering, Angor didn't forget to cover up the tile and lay down a layer of stones like the woman did.
He wasn't worried about other people discovering this place, but it was still annoying to be disturbed. So, he decided to finish up first.
