That day, when Lane walked into the occult class classroom, he heard Morris' anxious voice.
"Ryan, Tim disappeared last night."
Frowning, he realized that Tim was the second son of a baron, a fat little man with freckles on his face. Ren was a little confused: "Don't panic, speak slowly."
Maurice managed to calm down. He was Tim's best friend. He looked around at the people around him. There were some things he couldn't say in front of everyone.
The two walked to the rooftop of Building 4, and he explained: "Last night, Tim didn't come home after school, and the school has entrusted the 7th Bureau to find someone.
However, as you know, the ability to do things in the 7th Bureau is not reliable, and the Baron entrusted the Demon Hunter Association."
The 7th Bureau is a special agency of Faloran official that specializes in dealing with crimes committed by extraordinary people and demons. It is quite influential in Faloran.
However, it was only established a hundred years ago, and it mainly targets middle and low-level extraordinary beings or for investigating intelligence, and is not as powerful as the Demon Hunter Association.
As long as you can afford the price, the Witcher Association will even dare to kill the Dark Duke for you.
Morris handed him a letter: "This is what Dean Kayla asked me to give you. She said that someone wants to entrust you with this task. If you plan to take it, open this letter."
Ren opened it without hesitation. There was a high probability that it was sent by the old goat.
Mission Report 22: Tim, the second son of Baron Lucinch, suddenly disappeared last night. Witnesses said that he and his classmate Alice went to the old city in the west.
Note: Come to the association immediately in the afternoon.
She raised her eyebrows, this is a bit strange. Alice is 19 years old, Tim's deskmate, with red hair and blue eyes. She is a cute girl.
Tim fell in love with her at first sight, or he was greedy for her body. In short, she was very suspicious.
It's just strange. She is just a businessman's daughter. How dare she frame a baron's second son? The key is, what good will it do to her?
Without thinking much, the class time came and the two returned to the classroom. The teacher arrived on time.
It was Keira who looked very smart and capable in a women's suit. She herself was the dean of this class.
Without any courtesy, she directly wrote runes one by one on the blackboard smoothly: "The basis of the extraordinary language is the Burrage runes. All professions such as mages, warlocks, and wizards are proficient in this kind of writing.
Even Paladins can use some buffs and purification runes. The church's holy runes are actually a special type of runes, which have stronger lethality against demons...
Being able to use the spiritual energy in the body to carve rune arrays or combine them with some special materials is an advanced use of runes, and high-level professionals have more or less mastered some skills..."
Ren listened attentively. He had borrowed "Basic Language of Burlague" from the old goat, and Catherine had several very precious rune books in her bedroom. She took the initiative to give them to him from the darkroom mechanism before she left.
Moreover, those books are systematic, and the content from entry level to master level is very complete, and even involves the field of saints.
The runes taught by the professor at Bushen University were just the basics. Now that I think about it, this knowledge is simply priceless. Maybe it was the runes of the Blois family that were at the bottom of the box. Why did she give it to him so easily?
The other party even gave him the key to the bedroom on the second floor before leaving. He also knew the secret of the darkroom. After all, she opened it in front of him. There were various resources and her diary inside.
She told him almost all her secrets, and Ren's mood fluctuated. He always felt that the other party was taking advantage of him. After all, she took away the scarlet crystal left by Claire and owed him a bottle of natural source.
But now he realized that he was the one taking advantage. The opponent was the main force in the battle with the Red Witch. Less than half of the scarlet crystals were probably not worth the value of those rune books.
Besides, the Duke's family might not be able to get that kind of crystal.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, after finishing the class, Renn went straight to the Demon Hunter branch of Bu Shen City.
"Fresh carp, just caught from Loch Lomond, only costs ten copper thalers each." A fisherman shouted while sitting next to a wooden bucket.
"Green peas, 12 copper talers per kilogram." shouted the manor servant setting up the stall.
"Beef patties, fried fish fillets..."
Passing by a market, he bought a beef cake for 3 copper talers and ate it while heading north of the city.
Pushing open the exquisite nanmu door on the second floor, the clouds and smoke are lingering inside, like a paradise filled with fairy spirit... What the hell!
Ren covered his mouth and nose, curled his fingers, and the window opened with a bang. He didn't close the door, but stepped back first, waiting for the smoke to dissipate before walking in.
The old goat was lying on the long table, dragging his chin with his right hand and holding a large nanmu pipe with his left hand, puffing away leisurely.
"If you weren't a spirit-gathering magician, you would have died of lung disease long ago." Ren said helplessly, finding it difficult to understand this weird habit of smoking with the doors and windows closed.
The fifth level of the Warlock includes talisman engraving, inscription pattern, spirit gathering, formation formation, and sky map.
The old goat put down his pipe and laughed: "You don't understand, apart from sleeping with women, men's favorite things are cigarettes and wine.
I'm sorry to tell you that the latest news is that Tim has gone home and is fine except for being a little confused and weak."
"What?"
Ren, who was tired of traveling, widened his eyes: "I rushed here non-stop as soon as get out of class was over, and ended up taking off my pants. You told me that the mission was cancelled?!"
The old goat rolled his eyes: "Who told you that it was cancelled? The Baron's commission was withdrawn, but the association felt that this matter was a bit suspicious and decided to have someone investigate. But it's nothing. It doesn't matter if it fails."
He handed a stack of report papers to Renn: "Find something to do when you have time. Reading all the time will make you lose weight."
After reading the information carefully, Ren was shocked and confused. The story was roughly like this.
Yesterday evening, someone saw Tim and Alice going to the outskirts of the old city, but Alice went home at 8 pm, and Tim stayed away all night, and was found sleeping under a roof the next morning.
Someone in the 7th game asked Alice, and she said that she went home directly after she separated from Tim.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Tim has no memory of what happened last night, or is hesitant to say it, because Tim himself was not harmed, and he took the initiative to protect Alice.
This matter is basically over, and nothing was found out in the 7th game.
"It's very strange, there must be something fishy in it!" Renn asserted.
"Bah bang bang!"
The old goat suddenly clapped his hands and smiled very obscenely: "Not only is there something strange, but also this! Why are two young men in their prime going to the woods on the outskirts of the old city?
The young people today have the same demeanor as I did back then, and I also like the woods."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Ren shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"It's not that simple!"
The old goat manually announced the arrival of the car in an aria-like tone, drifting around corners and overtaking with a razor blade, all with superb skills.
Unable to find the brakes, Renn pushed open the passenger door and jumped out of the car.
"Hey, boy, wait a minute! Let's go after listening..."
To the west of Bu Shen City, this is the old city. The people living here are a mixed bag, including nostalgic nobles and artists, as well as citizens who like the classical atmosphere. Of course, there are also some gangsters and vagrants.
Here are some buildings with pointed arches and high roofs. The colors are dark and complicated, and the relief patterns are weird and slightly eerie. This is the style characteristic of ancient France.
Ren walked around the place where Tim and Alice walked, and also checked the place where Tim was unconscious.
He was not a famous detective and found nothing. After pondering for a while and narrowing his eyes, he thought of a way.
The breakthrough point should be Alice. There is a trophy found from Claire's house that may come in handy. This matter will probably take some time.
He ran back to Catherine's villa, took out the key to the bedroom on the second floor and opened her door. The special alchemy item was placed in the secret compartment.
