Chapter 526 Just Give It a Try

"What a pity." Xia Fan took over the topic.

"It's a pity indeed," Lassein nodded, "but compared to the arrival of the Inquisition, the loss of a scroll is not worth mentioning. The Lord should have mentioned this to you. When the church comes, you'd better stay out and don't cause trouble."

"But I'm still interested in the case itself. Just because you can't solve it doesn't mean I don't. After all, the murderer would never have thought that a spellcaster from the East Continent would be involved. They may have taken adequate precautions against spell tracing, but what if they encountered Eastern alchemy that they didn't understand at all? Will the result be the same?"

These words made Lassein's heart move.

He found that he had overlooked something before.

There are demon holders in the Eastern Envoy Group, and maybe the man in front of him is one of them.

No matter how simple alchemy or witchcraft sounds, its system is indeed very different from that of wizards.

"So what do you want to get from me here?"

"The progress and information of the case so far must be at least more accurate than the rumors in the tavern." Xia Fan said bluntly.

Lathein did not deny that he knew all this, "Why should I tell you? It's not good for me, right?"

"Since it's a cooperation, win-win must be the premise." Olina finally recovered from the shock, she coughed twice and said, "If we find anything during the investigation, we will share it with you as soon as possible. I don't think you want to be scolded by the Inquisition and run around behind them all the time, right?"

Lathein's face sank slightly.

If an outsider said this, he would probably chase him away on the spot.

But considering that the other party was also a dragon, he suppressed this unhappiness-after all, Olina was right, this was exactly the problem he didn't want to face. The baron seemed to have a high status, but in the eyes of the Inquisition, he was nothing. In addition, the convoy was attacked in the Blue Castle. The church had to vent its anger on the local defense officer, and he was obviously one of the people who were vented.

But what can we do?

The castle has been investigating for two days, but no clues have been found. He also asked his network to investigate and found that there was no news in the underworld. It was as if it was done by a hermit.

If he could not find anything, he would be regarded as an incompetent person who was doing nothing by the Inquisition. No matter how bad the other party said, he could only hold it in.

"In general, this kind of cooperation will not do you any harm, right?" Olina spread her hands and said, "The progress of the case is not a major secret, and we don't need the Blue Castle to invest extra energy in the investigation. If we find the whereabouts of the Son faster than the Inquisition, we can turn the tables. At worst, we can provide some effective clues and not be ridden on by them all the time. What do you think?"

It must be said that Lassein had a little idea in his heart.

He was also very curious about the extent to which the Eastern magic could be achieved here.

But as the Baron of the Broken Tooth and a well-informed harbor defense officer, he naturally could not be convinced by one or two words, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to spread it out. "You are quite arrogant, but investigating a case is not just about talking. You must first prove that you have the ability to protect yourself. Otherwise, if you die in an underground sewer, I will be in trouble if the higher-ups ask about it."

"How do you prove it?"

"I guess he is the Demon Possessor?" Lathein looked at Xia Fan, "I wonder what kind of magic he knows?"

Orina hesitated for a moment.

Xia Fan took the initiative and said, "Thunder and lightning, I guess."

"Oh, a Shaper." The defense officer pointed at himself, "Use half of your magic power to cast a spell on me."

This request made Xia Fan startled, "Are you sure?"

"Don't be like that--" Olina said quickly, "You don't quite understand the concept of thunder and lightning in the East..."

"So you will understand it after seeing it, right?" Lathein smiled, "Using only half of your magic power is no problem for me. Or is it that this ambassador can't even control the magic power accurately?"

Seeing the Dragon Girl so worried, he was still a little happy, and his previous unhappiness dissipated a lot. Unlike Olina, he has entered adulthood for a long time, and his physical strength has been greatly improved, especially his resistance to low-level spells, which has reached an extremely high level. He is almost immune to the paralysis, dizziness, stiffness and other aftereffects brought by spells. Ordinary mages are no match for him.

If it is a demon possessor who specializes in summoning or transformation spells, Lathein may not be so confident, but he is not afraid of direct damage spells.

First hit the opponent's momentum, and then reluctantly agree to the other party's cooperation request, so that he can occupy a dominant position in the cooperation.

"Xia Fan!" Olina can only put the persuasion target on Xia Fan, "If he dies here, we will get into big trouble!"

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Xia Fan raised a hand.

Death?

Lathein frowned. Isn't this lady of the Okan family too contemptuous of the dragon blood? Before he could refute, lightning flashed in the hands of the oriental man. At the same time, he also saw the dense lines on the other party's wrist.

Is that a secret magic pattern? The dense lines looked just like the sweaters in the store, but the overall changes were very regular and orderly, not like they were randomly drawn simply for the sake of complexity.

He actually felt a strange beauty in this pattern.

The other party raised his finger, and a golden pen on the table suddenly flew up. It was something that Lassein bought from the capital with two months' salary. From the tip to the body of the pen, it was made of gold sand, and he loved it very much. However, there was no connection between the pen and the person, which made the defense officer forget to stop it for a while.

At first glance, it looked like a wizard's hand, but this zero-level trick could not take the owner's thing at all.

The golden pen slowly stopped after rotating twice, floating in Xia Fan's palm, with the tip of the pen facing Lassein.

The latter suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

And Olina blocked her ears in time.

The next moment, a roar exploded in the house in an instant!

The turbulent airflow swept across the entire house, the documents on the table flew everywhere, and the window glass shattered instantly!

In the loud noise, Lassein vaguely saw a ray of golden light flying towards him at a very high speed. In the blink of an eye, it had passed over his cheek and disappeared from his sight, leaving only an unpleasant smell of burning in the air.

"Your Excellency!"

"Lord Cracked Tooth!" The guards outside the door rushed into the room after hearing the noise.

"Did I ask you to come in? Get out!" Lassein shouted from his seat.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally could only bow their heads and say yes.

The defense officer swallowed his saliva.

He must not let his subordinates see the embarrassment of his hands still trembling slightly.

After the door was closed, Lassein slowly turned his head and looked back.

On the brick wall behind the seat, a small hole as thick as an index finger appeared, and a ray of light shone in from the hole and poured in front of him.
