Could it be …
She finally realized that he was a humble, cautious, low-key, reserved, and elegant person. She had been influenced by his charisma!
Reynolds's imagination ran wild for a moment, but he did not think too much about it. He immediately asked Lilianlo to sneak into the shop to check it out.
Not long after, Lilianlo returned and reported, "There is indeed a magic node there.
"There is indeed a Magic Node there. The crystal should have been affected by it and evaporated. I can still smell a trace of the crystal's scent. There is indeed Magic Power flowing in the surroundings …"
"Although these have been specially concealed, making it difficult for you humans to detect, it can't escape the sharp sense of smell of a dragon!"
"Although I can't directly sense the complete magic network, I can still smell the flow of magic!"
She continued to explain the structure of a magic barrier to Reynolds. It was roughly like a map of a country. The nodes were the cities, and the network was the roads that connected them. When all these were put together, they formed a complete barrier.
The barrier itself could also be seen as a large-scale magic circle, a ritual, or a spell. If the entire layout could be drawn, the specific effects of the barrier could be determined.
Reynolds nodded at Lilianlo's hard work. He took out a small dried fish and fed it to Lilianlo.
The dried fish was pickled by the old bishop. It was specially given to Reynolds to train the kittens to reward their excellent performance. Hence, Lilianlo was also rewarded.
Lilianlo chewed subconsciously. Although it was not as delicious as mixed meat, the taste was not bad. She even wanted to eat another one …
After that, Reynolds first went to the roadside kiosk to buy a map. He then took the donkey cart and let Lilianlo rely on her sense of smell to follow the direction of the flow of magic. He also outlined the flow of magic on the map.
Surprisingly, the coverage of the barrier was surprisingly large. The two of them walked all the way from afternoon to night. They basically circled around Sinless City, but still could not see the whole picture. They could only sketch a rough outline on the map.
But the two of them still made a major discovery —
Every node that the two of them found was not the kind of formation that could be recognized at a glance. Instead, it was like the safe in the jewelry store. The formation that maintained the operation of the node was hidden in some ordinary formation, and it had been treated to be more secretive.
Simply put, those magical items that were similar to jewelry store safes were very hidden magic nodes! Most of these hidden nodes were carved on chandeliers, sculptures, and other objects that were not easy to move, so their stability and integrity were guaranteed.
At the same time, these magical items were not cheap. Most of them were stored in the homes of the rich so that they would not be tampered with and would not attract the attention and suspicion of outsiders.
This could be said to be an extremely secretive and cunning method. If Lillian Lo did not have the ability to enter and exit other mansions at will, she would not have discovered this hidden scheme at all.
"Can you see the effect of this barrier?"
Relying on the light from his eyes, Reynolds drew on the map while asking without lifting his head.
But Lilianlo did not answer.
"Hello? Where are you? "
"Have you fallen asleep?"
Turning his head, he saw that her big emerald eyes were drooping. She leaned lazily beside Reynolds and had entered a half-awake state …
After all, it was already late at night.
Reynolds could only poke Lilianlo.
"Ugh … No … Don't ride me …"
Lilianlo said drowsily.
"Then I'll ride your brother?"
Reynolds pretended to threaten her.
When Lilianlo heard that her brother was about to be killed, she quickly woke up. She rubbed her eyes hard and tried to defend herself.
"Ugh … No … I'm not asleep …"
Reynolds repeated his question again.
"No … With our current progress, we can barely determine that this barrier has the function of shielding and concealing. Unless we draw a complete magic network, we won't be able to see anything …"
Lilianlo said helplessly.
"What if we directly destroy these nodes?"
Reynolds touched the sea urchin necklace on his body, looking eager to try.
"That won't do. This kind of large-scale barrier is very complicated and dangerous. If we act rashly, it's likely to cause a big explosion …"
Lilianlo hurriedly advised. She even used her small hands to hold his arm and looked at him anxiously, afraid that he would do something rash.
"Let's think of a way to draw a complete network as soon as possible …"
"Although I'm very sleepy, if you feed me a small piece of dried fish, I'll still be able to perk up."
Fortunately, Reynolds was not a brute. After feeding Lilianlo another piece of dried fish, he continued.
"Looks like there's only one way …"
"I'll go and kill that Venner now."
His tone was so casual that it took Lilianlo a moment to realize what he was talking about …
She had seen Venner before and heard about him from passersby. She still had some impression of him. She knew that this person was equivalent to a human elder, the kind that was highly respected and had decent strength.
Then, this ordinary-looking priest in front of her decided to kill him?
Reynolds noticed her puzzled expression and reluctantly explained, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"What's so hard to understand? As long as the culprit is gone, this barrier won't be a threat anymore, right? "
Unfortunately, Lilianlo still could not understand his train of thought.
"We can't be sure that it was Venner who set up this barrier. Those objects used to act as barriers might not have been made by him, right? It's also possible that he resold them or something … "
"Even if it had something to do with him, this barrier might not have been set up for destruction, right? This person is considered a big shot in your human society. Why would he do such a thing? "
Reynolds sighed helplessly. He revealed a disappointed expression and asked in return, "What's the matter?
He asked, "Do you know the biggest difference between a smart person and a fool?"
"Only fools are always looking for evidence and asking a lot of questions. A smart person will just go straight to the door!"
"If they can't solve the problem, they'll get rid of the person who caused the problem!" Reynolds rode the donkey cart back to the Church. He had to first settle Lilianlo who could not stand it anymore before it was convenient for him to act.
By the time he arrived at the Church, it was already early in the morning of the next day. Lillian was already lying on his lap, fast asleep. Reynolds carried her over his shoulder and carried her all the way back to the small building where they lived. He randomly found an empty room and threw her into it. He then went back to his room to change his clothes.
