…
In Viscount Klein's study in the noble district.
Viscount Klein was tied to a chair. His neat black hair was messy, and his deep green eyes were staring at the man in the clown mask in front of him.
Clown knew the sorcerer Philosopher very well. With his level five power, he easily subdued Viscount Klein.
"You're the clown the princess mentioned, right? How dare you attack me! "Viscount Klein, the governor of the City Hall of Aalto, scolded Lucien angrily.
Clown laughed out loud, "Lord Viscount, don't tell me that the magic you just used was triggered by an item. What's wrong with me arresting an evil sorcerer according to the Doctrines? Or do you want me to call you 'Mr. Philosopher'?"
Viscount Klein's fake anger disappeared. He was shocked, "How did you …"
Then he stopped himself in a hurry, as if he was worried that Clown was trying to trick him.
"Lord Viscount, we've known about your situation for a long time, but we didn't arrest you. We just wanted to see if you would repent. After all, you're a noble. Unfortunately, you didn't. But you still have one last chance. As long as you tell me the professor's whereabouts, you can keep your identity as a noble and as a consul. You only need to secretly join the night watchers. "Clown looked out of the window, worried that the" real "night watchers would come at any time.
Viscount Klein sneered, "So you're here to arrest Professor. It's really dangerous to communicate with someone on the Cleansing List. But I don't believe you. You've been removed from the night watchers. You're a dangerous fugitive. I'd better wait for the real night watchers to come."
Just as Clown expected, Viscount Klein did not insist on keeping secrets. Like most nobles, he was arrogant but cunning. If the benefits were enough, he would even cooperate with the demons! Therefore, after knowing that his identity was exposed and he was going to be arrested, he would be more sensible than other sorcerers.
His current taunt was obviously for the sake of obtaining better conditions!
Clown put on an exaggerated smile in front of Viscount Klein and clicked his tongue, "Good idea. But you've met me, and I'm in a hurry. I'm afraid that Professor will be alerted if I delay any longer. So I'm sorry, Viscount Klein."
When Klein's face suddenly changed, Clown's ten fingers began to move, which made Klein's muscles twitch. His eyes and mouth opened and closed under Clown's command.
Gradually, Philosopher Klein's eyes became cloudy. It seemed that not only his body, but also his brain and soul were also under Clown's control.
Compared to the other knight-type night watchers, the clown could get accurate information even without using divine spells.
"Wizard, what's your code name? Are you a sorcerer? What Element? "Clown asked a simple question to adjust the effect.
Klein's eyes became clear again. He looked the same as before, but he still smiled, "Mr. Clown, I'm a sorcerer. My code name is Philosopher, and I'm good at the school of Astrology. Because I couldn't activate my Blessing power, and I didn't have the formula of potion, and I was not powerful enough to be granted by the Grand Duke, I found some books that were secretly collected by my ancestors after they killed the sorcerers. I tried to restore the formula of potion to activate my Blessing power, but I found that I was good at the school of Astrology, so I fell deeper and deeper. "
After confirming the effect, Clown did not ask any more questions about himself. Instead, he asked directly, "How did you meet the professor this time? And how did you contact him? "
"Mr. Clown, Professor came to me after I came back from the night of the concert. He used the fourth-circle spell, Mirror Show, and talked to me remotely. He asked me to attend the next gathering of the sorcerers so that he could tell them what happened at the Headquarters of the Magic Council. " "After I agreed, we met in private once. It was in an uninhabited garden villa at 116 Gesu District. The contact mark was … But I don't know where he is really hiding. He decided to meet me at the place he wanted to meet me."
"As expected of the cautious and cunning Professor. Is he trying to set up a trap with a communication mark? But it's too easy for a schemer like him to see through it," Clown mumbled. He did not think that his IQ was comparable to the Professor's.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, "No.116, Gesu District? Isn't that where Lucien Evans used to live? It's in a remote area, and it's not rented out yet. There's only an old servant looking after it. It's perfect for hiding! Considering the relationship between Professor and Lucien, it's very likely that he's hiding there! "
Clown felt that his blood was boiling, and his body was trembling with excitement. He knew that he might have found out where Professor was hiding. If he had not investigated Lucien Evans thoroughly, he would not have missed any details, otherwise, no one would have thought of it.
However, Clown forced himself to calm down and started to analyze the situation, "Lucien Evans is recovering in his villa in the Noble District, and Natasha is said to be dealing with the affairs of the Duchy today. If they suddenly showed up in No.116, anyone with eyes would know that it was a plot against me and the night watchers. After all, I didn't sneak into Lucien Evans's house, and they had no reason to show up there in the middle of the night."
"Setting me up to fight with other powerful figures? Impossible. We're in the city of Aalto, not Melzer Black Forest. As long as there's a fight at my level, the senior-ranks will be alerted, and Juliana will come with the night watchers and the head of the Inquisition. "
…
Clown knew that the most ideal solution was to wait for Juliana and the others to do it, but the anger in his heart was burning fiercely. He was wronged and wanted to be executed, and he was furious when he saw his companions die. All of these made him want to capture Professor with his own hands. Besides, he had some confidence in his own strength. After all, he had come in contact with Professor and had first-hand information about him. He was not someone who could judge Professor's strength just by looking at the Cleansing List.
After careful analysis, and seeing that Juliana and the others hadn't arrived yet, Clown was worried that his actions against Klein would alert the professor. He quickly made a decision. "I'll go there first and investigate carefully, step by step." If Professor was found, Clown would distract him and attract the attention of the divine circle in Aalto, so that the senior-ranks would be alerted. If Professor was not found, or the villa was too strange, Clown would hide there and hand it over to the night watchers.
After using his puppet ability to seal Viscount Klein's mental strength, Clown picked up a pen and paper from the desk and wrote down the information he had gathered. This was to prevent the Nightwatchers from asking Klein any questions. When the time came, all they needed to do was to confirm the information from Klein's mouth.
After doing all this, Clown left the noble district and went to No. 116 in Gesu District.
The entire garden villa was shrouded in darkness and shadows. It was like a lurking monster, making people's hearts palpitate.
Clown carefully checked the surroundings of the villa and found no trace of magic circles. Therefore, he became bolder and sneaked into the villa. However, he did not forget to check the surroundings on his way. He would rather be slow than step into Professor's trap.
The villa was empty. After putting the old servant who was guarding the place to sleep, the clown hid in the darkness while carefully checking the rooms one by one, trying to find any clues.
Soon, Clown finished checking the basement and the first floor, and then he went to the second floor.
…
In Viscount Klein's home.
Waldo, the Executor of the Inquisition of Orvarit, led a team of night watchers to the second floor quietly, trying to find and arrest Viscount Klein.
They did not come to arrest Professor directly, as they were worried that the nobles in the surrounding villas would notice and leak the information, which would lead to Professor's escape.
As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Waldo's nose twitched slightly. His brown beard almost covered his entire face. Then, he said in a solemn tone, "I smell blood. I feel the breath of death."
"What? Lord Waldo, did something happen to Viscount Klein? Or did he kill someone and run away? "Juliana was worried that Clown could not control the madness in his blood.
Waldo was tall and strong. He walked to the door of the study in a few steps and said seriously, "There's only one dead person, and it's the smell of the blood of the Millstone family."
The Millstone family was Viscount Klein's family.
While talking, Waldo pushed the door open, and a strong smell of blood came into their noses.
Juliana and the rest of the night watchers looked into the room vigilantly and frowned. Even though they were used to murder and death, they still felt uncomfortable when they saw the scene of a dismembered body.
The whole room was filled with flesh and blood. Small pieces of flesh and blood were everywhere. Not a single complete bone or flesh could be found. It gave people a bloody, cruel, evil, and disgusting feeling.
"Such a scene … It's so familiar …" said one of the night watchers.
Most of the night watchers immediately remembered that all the people who were killed by Clown's strings were killed in the same way.
"It's impossible. Captain couldn't have killed Viscount Klein," murmured Juliana with a pale face.
Waldo ignored the filth and blood in the room and strode to the desk. He picked up the piece of paper that was pressed down by the ink bottle and read it carefully. Then, he raised his voice and said solemnly, "It was left behind by the clown. He confirmed that Viscount Klein was Philosopher, and he guessed that Professor was hiding in No. 116, Gesu. This is Philosopher's handwriting and the secret code of the night watchers. No one can copy it. "
Even Juliana, who trusted Clown the most, gasped in shock. She started to believe that Clown killed the evil sorcerer after finding out where Professor was.
If Sage's identity wasn't Viscount Klein, this wouldn't be anything strange or serious to the Nightwatchers.
"The inquisition has solid evidence that Viscount Klein is a sorcerer. It's reasonable that he was killed because he resisted arrest. We'd better hurry to No. 116, Gesu. Professor might be up to something. " Among the three people in charge of the inquisition, Waldo was the most sympathetic to Clown, so he tried to keep it a secret.
"Yes, Mr. Waldo!" The rest of the night watchers answered together. It was not a big deal to kill an evil sorcerer!
…
Clown was on guard against traps and the appearance of the professor. At the same time, he carefully checked the room on the second floor for traces. Indeed, it had been a long time since anyone had come here, and the room had been neglected.
When Clown was about to lose hope, he suddenly sensed that someone was in the study in front of him.
With his consciousness, the Grand Knight clearly sensed that a man was leaning against the window, enjoying the cool breeze at night.
"Professor?!" Clown was shocked. He did not expect that he could find Professor so easily.
And why didn't Professor notice him before?
Clown had a lot of doubts, but he dared not to be careless in front of a powerful middle-rank sorcerer. He released the Puppet Strings and quickly moved aside to avoid being targeted.
As the level five Grand Knight fully activated his power, the door of the room suddenly collapsed. Clown was shocked to see that the man by the window was Lucien Evans!
His entire body was tied up and twisted as he stood there. A stiff and strange smile appeared on his handsome face. Then, under the effect of an unknown force, he directly fell to the side and fell down the stairs like a swan that was shot by an arrow.
The black dress that was wrinkled by the ropes, the stiff and strange smile, and the scene of him falling backward seemed to have been frozen in time. It was an eerie painting that was forever imprinted in the clown's mind.
Professor killed Lucien Evans in order to frame him?
Clown could never have guessed this.
In the air, Lucien Evans bloomed like a flower. His blood and flesh splashed everywhere.
