Chapter 302 The Last Smile (Monday Asks for Recommendation Votes)
——Monday for recommendation votes~
…………………………………………………………………………………
In the aristocratic area, in the study of Viscount Klein.
Viscount Klein was tied to the back chair, his neat black hair disheveled, and his deep green eyes stared at the man wearing a funny clown mask in front of him.
The Joker, who knew the magician "Sage" very well, easily subdued Viscount Klein under the surprise attack with his level 5 strength.
"You are the clown the princess said, right? Sure enough, you are crazy, you dare to attack me!" Viscount Klein, the consul of Aalto City Hall, scolded angrily and a little frightened.
The clown looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lord Viscount, don't tell me that the magic you used just now was motivated by objects, what's wrong with me arresting an evil magician according to the provisions of the Code, or do you want me to call you 'Mr. Sage'?"
Viscount Klein's disguised anger disintegrated, and he said in astonishment: "How ...... you?"
Halfway through speaking, he hurriedly stopped, as if worried that the clown was trying to deceive him.
"Viscount, we have been aware of your situation for a long time, but we have not arrested you. This is mainly to see if you will repent, after all, you are a nobleman of high status, but unfortunately you don't. But you have one last chance, as long as you tell me the professor's whereabouts, you can continue to retain your status as a nobleman and an archon, just secretly join the Night's Watch." The clown looked out the window, worried that the "real" vigil would come at any moment.
Viscount Klein was stunned, and then sneered: "It turns out that it is to capture the professor, it is indeed dangerous to interact with the characters in this purification sequence, but I don't believe you, you have been removed from the Night's Watch team, you are a dangerous fugitive, I should wait until the real Night's Watch comes."
He behaved like a clown, with no secret threshold and persistence, just like most aristocrats who were arrogant but tactful, and could even cooperate with the devil if the interests were sufficient! So he knew that after his identity was exposed and he was arrested, he would judge the situation more than other magicians.
And his current mockery is obviously to fight for better conditions!
The clown's exaggerated smile approached Viscount Klein and tsk: "I have a good idea, but you met me, and I am very anxious, afraid that delaying will cause the professor's vigilance, so I have wronged you, Viscount Klein."
Just as Klein's face changed drastically, the ten fingers of the Joker's hands began to bounce, causing Klein's muscles to twitch, and his eyes and mouth opened and closed under the Joker's command.
Gradually, "Sage" Klein's eyes began to become cloudy, as if not only his body was being manipulated, but also his brain and soul were controlled.
Compared with other knight-type night watchmen, the Joker can ask for real information even if he does not use magical means.
"What's your code name? Is it an official magician? What department?" The clown first adjusts the effect with a simple question.
Klein's eyes returned to clarity from cloudiness, looking the same as before, but he smiled uncharacteristically and said: "Reply to Lord Clown, I am an official magician, codenamed Sage, and I am good at astrology. Because he could not activate the power of the bloodline, and there was no potion formula, and his status at that time could not be given by the Grand Duke, he found out some books secretly collected by his ancestors after killing the magician and began to study, trying to restore the potion formula that stimulated the power of the bloodline.
After confirming the effect, the clown didn't ask Klein his own questions anymore, and said bluntly: "How did you meet the professor this time? How should I contact him?"
"Reporting back to Master Clown, I was approached by the professor after returning from the concert night. He used the four-ring magic 'Mirror Development' to talk to me from a distance, asking to attend the most recent magic circle meeting in order to tell them the news of the Magic Council headquarters." Klein replied without concealment, "After I agreed, we met privately once, at an uninhabited garden villa at No. 116 Jisu District, and the contact number is...... But I don't know where he really is hiding, the meeting is a place he has pre-decided."
"Indeed, he is a cautious and cunning professor, how could he use contact marks to design traps, but it is easy for a guy like him who likes to use conspiracies to see through it." The clown muttered first, not feeling that his IQ was comparable to that of the professor.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "No. 116, Jisu District? Isn't it where Lucian Evans used to live? It's in a remote environment, and it's not rented out yet, with only an old servant watching, making it perfect for hiding! With the secret relationship between the professor and Lucian, he is likely hiding there!"
The clown only felt his blood boiling, trembling with excitement, because he probably had discovered the place where the professor was hiding, and if he hadn't thoroughly investigated Lucian Evans and not let go of any details, no one would have thought of it.
But he was frightened by the professor, so he forced himself to calm down and analyze whether there were any traps and conspiracies: "Lucian Evans is recuperating in the aristocratic villa, Natasha is said to be dealing with the affairs of the principality today, and has not left the Latashia Palace, if they suddenly appear at No. 116 in the Gisu district, anyone with eyes can see that it is a conspiracy against me and the night watchmen, after all, I did not infiltrate Lucian Evans' house, and they have no reason to appear there in the middle of the night."
"Design me to be on fire with other strong people? Impossible, this is in Aalto City, not the Melzer Black Forest, as long as there is a fight at my level, it will soon alarm the high-level powerhouses, and Juliana and the others will also come with the Night Watch Squad and the head of the court in the future."
……
The Joker knew that the ideal way was to wait for Juliana and the others to do it, but the flame in his heart was burning, the grief and anger of being wronged and asked to be executed, and the anger of watching his companions die, all made him want to catch the professor with his own hands, and he also had a certain confidence in his own strength, after all, he had contact with the professor and had first-hand information, not someone who judged his terrifying strength by the purification sequence.
After careful analysis, seeing that Juliana and the others had not yet arrived, he was worried that his actions against Klein would alert the professor, and the clown quickly made a decision: "I will go there first and investigate carefully, step by step carefully investigate." If you can find the professor, then entangle him, arouse the induction of the Alto Divine Magic, and let the high-level powerhouses pay attention.
After using his puppet ability to seal Viscount Klein's spiritual power, the clown picked up paper and pen on the desk and wrote the news he had inquired about, which was to avoid delaying time by asking Klein by the night watchman who came later.
After doing all this, the clown left the aristocratic area and rushed to No. 116 in Jisu District.
The entire garden villa was shrouded in dark shadows, like a lurking monster, which made people's hearts palpitate.
The clown carefully and carefully inspected the surroundings of the garden villa and found that there was no trace of the magic circle arrangement, so he gradually became bolder, dragged out the afterimage and sneaked in, but along the way, he did not forget to check the surroundings, preferring to slow down rather than step into the professor's trap.
The villa was empty, and after putting the old servant guarding here to sleep, the clown hid in the dark while carefully inspecting each house, trying to find clues.
Soon, the basement and the first floor were inspected, and the clown went up to the second floor more cautiously.
…………
Viscount Klein's home.
Waldo, the "Agent" of the Court of Vaorit, led a squad of night watchmen to the second floor quietly, trying to find and control Viscount Klein.
They did not arrest them openly, fearing that they would be noticed by the nobles in the surrounding villas, so they would leak the news and let the professor escape.
As soon as he stepped on the second floor, the wings of Waldo's nose, which was almost covering his entire face with a brown beard, suddenly twitched slightly, and then he said in a solemn tone: "I smelled blood and felt the breath of death."
"What? Lord Waldo, is something wrong with Viscount Klein, or did he kill the insider and abscond?" Juliana was worried that the Joker was unable to control the madness factor in her dark bloodline.
Waldo was tall, and he walked to the door of the study in two or three steps, and said seriously: "There is only one dead man, and it smells like the blood of the millstone family."
The Millstone family is the family to which Viscount Klein belongs.
As he spoke, he pushed open the door, and a strong smell of blood came to his face.
Juliana and the others looked into the room vigilantly, and immediately frowned, even the night watchmen who were accustomed to killing and dying had a subconscious resistance to the slaughterhouse-like dismemberment scene.
In the entire room, blood and flesh were flying, and pieces of fine meat scraps and drops of blood were everywhere, and not a single complete bone and flesh could be found, giving people a feeling of bloody cruelty and demonic disgust.
"Such a murder scene is very familiar......" I don't know which night watchman said.
Most of the night watchmen immediately remembered that the guys torn apart by the "clown" puppet thread were basically like this.
"Impossible, Captain, he can't kill Viscount Klein." Juliana said to herself with a pale face.
Ignoring the dirt and blood in the room, Waldo stepped to the desk, picked up the paper that was pressed by the inkwell, looked at it carefully, and then his voice became louder and said solemnly: "It was left by the clown. He confirmed that Viscount Klein was the Sage and guessed that the professor was hiding in 116 Gisu District. This is his handwriting and the internal code of the night watchman, and no one can imitate it."
Even Juliana, who believed in the Joker the most, couldn't help but gasp and began to believe that it was the Joker who put the evil magician to death in a boiling of excitement after asking about the professor's whereabouts.
If the sage's identity was not Viscount Klein, it was not something strange and serious for the Night's Watch.
"Viscount Klein is a magician, and there is conclusive evidence within the court, and he deserves to be killed for resisting arrest. Let's hurry to No. 116 in Jisu District, the professor may have some conspiracy." Waldo was the one who was sympathetic to the clown among the three heads of the tribunal, and gently suppressed the matter.
"Yes, Master Waldo!" The rest of the night watchmen said in unison. An evil magician kills and kills!
…………
While guarding against traps and the appearance of professors, the clown carefully checked the traces in the room on the second floor, but it was indeed a state where no one had come for a long time and neglected to clean it.
One after another, when the clown was about to be disappointed, he suddenly felt that there was someone in the study in front of him!
The great knight's consciousness made him clearly aware that there was a man leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, as if enjoying the cool breeze at night.
"Professor?!" The clown was taken aback and didn't expect to discover the professor so easily and easily!
And he didn't even find himself before?
Although there were many doubts, when facing the evil and powerful mid-level magician, the Joker did not dare to be careless, and directly popped up the puppet line, and at the same time dodged to the side, speeding up to avoid being locked.
As the fifth-level knight was fully powerful, the door of the room shattered, and the clown who turned into an afterimage was stunned to see that the man by the window was actually Lucian Evans!
His whole body was tied up and twisted to stand, a stiff and strange smile appeared on his handsome face, and then under the action of an inexplicable force, he fell directly to the side and backwards, falling downstairs like a swan shot by a bow and arrow.
The black dress wrinkled by strings, the stiff and eerie smile, and the scene of falling backwards that seemed to be frozen made into a bizarre oil painting were forever imprinted in the clown's mind.
The professor actually killed Lucian Evans in order to frame himself?
This is a situation that the clown can't guess.
In mid-air, Lucian Evans bloomed like a flower, blood and pieces of flesh splattered everywhere.
