Chapter 1404 Looking for Martin

The observation point generated by the "detection technique" is automatically locked on the detected object and moves with it.

Through the crystal ball, the observer can only see things within a radius of ten feet around the observation point at most. Beyond this area, the field of vision becomes pitch black.

Through the observation point, Joan saw a man in a white robe sitting at a desk, holding a quill in his hand, and seemed to be writing a letter.

After a little observation, Joan recognized that this person was Martin Smith who escaped from Leiden Academy overnight!

Compared with a year ago, Martin's figure is significantly fatter, and his complexion is more energetic than before.

The place he is in at the moment should be a study room. Judging from the interior layout, although it is not considered luxurious, it is also decent.

Joan also noticed that Martin was well dressed, and the fabrics were quite high-end, and there was a gold pocket watch on the desk, all signs indicated that he was living a pretty good life now.

After finding Martin, Joan naturally had a question.

Where is the place where Martin lives now?

"Scry" can be used to observe creatures or places, but the observation point is locked after the spell is cast, and Joan can no longer move the observation point away from Martin to check his environment.

In order to find out where Martin is, Joan needs to use other means to establish a new observation point.

Hawkeye?

Joan shook his head secretly.

The detection range of the "Eagle Eye Technique" was too short, only 10 miles, and obviously couldn't reach the area where Martin was.

From the "Eagle Eye Technique", Joann thought of a psychic power with a similar function.

The second-level "psychic prophecy system" ability "remote sensing", the detection distance is infinite, which is suitable for his current needs.

Joan's psychic energy pool only has 2 points of psychic power, which is not enough to show "Remote Sensing" once, so he spends a "power of myth" to convert 7 points of psychic power, and draws 3 points from it to show "Remote Sensing". Remote Sensing".

Joan took Martin's position as the origin of the coordinates, moved vertically 1,000 feet upwards, and established a "remote sensing" observation point in the sky.

After the manifestation was completed, Joan switched his perspective to the psychic observation point, overlooking the land, and a small town on the edge of the jungle came into view.

Looking down from a thousand feet in the sky, the streets of the town look like a chessboard, and there are building blocks like buildings along the streets. The house where Martin lived was located in the northeast corner of the town, near the woods.

From the outside, this two-storey big house is considered one of the most magnificent buildings in the town. As the owner of the big house, Martin seems to have quite a status in the town.

Joan turned his gaze to the jungle outside the town, feeling vaguely familiar with the terrain in front of him.

After a little thought, Joan exited the observation point created by "remote sensing", took out the navigation compass, called up the map of the Alfheim jungle, compared it with the terrain outline he saw just now, and found the corresponding area on the map.

Sure enough, the place where Martin lives now is located in the western mountains of Yalfheim. The mountainside town that Joan overlooked from a high altitude just now is also clearly marked on the map, called "Bucks Town".

The place name of Bucks Town brought back Joan's memories.

He remembered Martin's cousin, Mr. Fitzgerald, a student loan agent at Leiden College, who had said that he and Martin were both born in a small country town.

Before Martin went to the city to study, he worked as a waiter in a tavern in the town, and Fitzgerald was the young owner of the tavern.

The small town where the cousins ​​were born and raised, if Joan remembered correctly, was Bucks Town.

A year ago, fearing that the truth about the murder of his mentor Walter Lee would be revealed, Martin fled from Leiden College overnight and has since disappeared.

Joan thought he would flee to some strange place and start a new life with a different identity.

Didn't expect Martin to be so courageous that he would go back to his hometown to settle down and live among acquaintances, so he wouldn't be afraid of arousing suspicion?

Joan thought about it for a second, only he and Fitzgerald knew the truth about Martin's murder of Walter Lee, and the others had no evidence even if they suspected it, let alone the motivation to pursue it.

In contrast, based on the available evidence, people are more willing to believe that both Walter Lee and Robert Rawls were assassinated by cult members. It is not surprising that Martin can live in peace in his hometown.

Just when Joan was lost in thought, Ruby walked over holding the "photo mirror" and looked curiously into the crystal ball.

"Brother Joan, who is this man in the crystal ball?"

"It was a senior I met when I was studying at Leiden College last year, named Martin Smith. Later, he dropped out of school for some reason, and there was no news. I am using the 'Scrying Technique' to find his whereabouts."

"Is there anything you can do with him?"

Of course, Ruby knew that Joanne was extremely disgusted with social activities. He was always sought out by others, and he almost never took the initiative to seek out others. But now he made an exception and cast a spell to find people. There must be a reason for the strange things.

Joan was silent for a long time before speaking.

"This matter is very complicated to say, and it is related to the privacy of some people. I can't go into details. I can only tell you that Martin took something that didn't belong to him, and that thing... belonged to my tutor at Leiden College. I have the responsibility to recover the relics."

Ruby nodded half-understanding: "Brother Joan, if you want to ask Mr. Smith for that thing in person, you'd better find out where he lives first."

"I've already found out. Martin is currently in Buckstown, a small rural town in the west of the Alfheim Forest, about six or seven hundred miles away."

"Are you going to teleport there?" Ruby asked.

Joan nodded, and reached out to take out a teleportation scroll from the storage bag.

Ruby noticed that his face was gloomy, and asked worriedly: "Brother Qiao An, are you really just going to ask for the teacher's relic, not to fight?"

Joan froze for a moment, then replied thoughtfully:

"It would be hypocritical if I said that I have no complaints against Martin, but he is my senior after all, and he had no choice but to take that thing back... If he was willing to give it back to me, I don't want to Embarrass him, otherwise it will be hard to say."

Ruby forced a smile, hugged his arms and acted like a baby.

"Brother Qiao An, Ruby and I can only play with cats at home these days, and 'Qiuqiu' still ignores me. Let’s take a stroll in Deer Town!”

Joan took a look at "Miss Ruby", and suspected that going out to play and relax was just an excuse for her. In fact, she was worried that she would have a fierce conflict with Martin, so she wanted to follow her.
