Shameless Warlock

The irascible Akai, Stephen Sang's fearsome deputy captain of the law enforcement team, and Emma and Jiang Yuanchi are one of the six apostles of the Red Windmill, but they entered the six apostles much earlier than the two of them, and they like to make trouble The enforcer most feared by wizards.

According to Roger, Akai is actually a very good person, but in the process of law enforcement, he likes to use violence very much, which is resisted by the wizards. The law enforcement team is nominally to restrain some lawless wizards, but in fact it is more to protect the interests of wizards.

This guy's career in the law enforcement team was also quite bumpy. He was only recently reassumed, probably in response to the turbulent undercurrent in the increasingly complex Stephen Sand.

After all, since the last time he signed the white paper with Paradise Lost, the reclusive Stephen Sand has become less silent.

Faced with this complicated situation, the original puppet law enforcement team was helpless, so they invited the violent old man Akai to preside over the overall situation.

Akai himself is not a wizard, on the contrary, his profession is a very restrained wizard [demon hunter]; although this profession also belongs to the inheritance of the Arcane Empire, it is generally disgusted by spellcasters. It is a creature that hates natural enemies instinct.

"As long as you don't run into him while he's in law, he's generally pretty normal."

Roger concluded:

"His temperament is a bit cold and arrogant, and he looks down on ordinary spellcasters, so his attitude will not be very good."

"Here's his address. If you want to visit, I can write you a letter of recommendation."

Xu Nan nodded:

"Then please."

He doesn't necessarily need Akai's help, but Roger's letter of recommendation is still required.

It would be great if Jiang Yuan could come back sooner. With the cooperation of the internal information of the law enforcement team, the three tasks at hand are naturally nothing to worry about.

Roger, being a breezy fellow, summoned a quill and a bottle of ink without further ado, and began to write.

The residents of Stephen Sand still live at a relatively slow pace.

Strangers who want to visit at home must follow etiquette. In addition to having a friend as an intermediary to introduce each other, Xu Nan has to bring his recommendation letter to the other party's home to deliver door stickers. The other party will choose whether to meet or not according to the situation.

Although Luo Jie is happy to be the middleman for Xu Nan, but he is also very busy, Xu Nan can't expect a quasi-legend to spare time to introduce friends to him.

The letter of recommendation is almost there.

When Roger was writing the letter of recommendation, Xu Nan tried to insinuate clues about the other two tasks.

Regarding the sneak attacker on the back of the head, Roger didn't seem to be very concerned about it. After all, in his position, he didn't care about everything. What happened to Helena was because it was so exaggerated that it almost became a household name.

And when Xu Nan smelled a stray cat, something interesting happened.

Roger's complexion changed slightly, and his hand, which was writing the recommendation letter, suddenly trembled involuntarily, and the quill drew a long trace:

"Oh, I made a typo..."

He spoke to himself, then sighed, and took out a new piece of stationery. Recommendation letters are just like business cards. According to Stephen Sand's etiquette, there must be no mistakes.

"Are there stray cats? Are there a lot of them at the airport? Maybe someone from the Small Animal Protection Association did it..."

He answered casually.

Too fake.

Xu Nan complained silently in his heart, but he would not expose Roger's clumsy lies to his face.

Roger must know something, but for some reason, he didn't speak.

Small Animal Protection Association? Although it may be Roger's nonsense, Stephen Sang's place is quite funny, and there are all kinds of weird associations, which can be regarded as a clue to track down.

Since it is not convenient for Roger to speak, Xu Nan will not make things difficult for him.

After receiving the letter of recommendation, Xu Nan thanked and said goodbye.

Leaving the Tower of Elements.

Xu Nan first found a tavern, wrote a greeting card by himself, then went to the business district to buy some small gifts, and then went to Akai's home and delivered these things to the mailbox outside the door.

Even if Akai is at home at this time, it is impolite for Xu Nan to visit rashly. He left his current address in the mailbox. If Akai is willing to meet him, a similar invitation letter will be sent to Rapunzel Hotel soon in the mailbox.

With the help of elves and various owls, Stephen Sand's postal system is still very developed.

...

In the afternoon, Xu Nan found Xie Yutong and went to the dock area together.

With the experience of yesterday's observation, Xie Yutong quickly led Xu Nan to find the stray cats.

Xu Nan observed that the stray cats in the dock area did not seem to have a specific activity pattern, most of them wandered in the open terrain, and seemed to be no different from the residents coming and going.

The places where stray cats gather the most are near the statue of the white airship, and in the jungle on both sides of the airport plaza.

He estimated that there were more than two hundred stray cats wandering around the square alone.

There are many stray cats hidden in the entire dock area.

Where did so many stray cats come from?

This is a huge question.

There are people coming and going in the dock area, but the security is strict, but the staff and residents of Stephen Sand turn a blind eye to these stray cats. Occasionally, a few children want to feed them, but they will be strictly stopped by their parents .

This is a bit strange.

"Senior, did you find anything?"

At dusk, under a shady tree, the two were resting.

Xie Yutong held a small notebook in his hand, which recorded a lot of things, but unfortunately the handwriting was so ugly that Xu Nan didn't know what was written.

"There are several speculations."

Xu Nan settled down, looked at a fat orange cat not far away trying to stand on a branch, and started his own analysis:

"First, these stray cats may be the experimental product of a great wizard. And this wizard is quite famous in Stephen Sand, everyone knows him, so they turn a blind eye to those stray cats. I really feel that these stray cats The cat seems to be different from ordinary cats, and I can't tell where it is, but this may be the result of that experiment."

"There is a possibility, but it's not particularly high. Generally speaking, Stephen Sand's wizards pay attention to the protection of the experimental subjects and the collection of data when conducting experiments. How can they throw them on the street after completing the experiment? Unless the process itself is also part of the experiment."

Xu Nan used tricks to change a glass of water for herself. After drinking it, she found it bland and tasteless, so she changed it to a glass of milk.

"The second type is that these stray cats were originally domestic cats, but they were abandoned by people. But I have checked the major incidents of Stephen Sang in recent years, and there is no clear evidence that Stephen Sang has abandoned domestic cats on a large scale. What's more , if this is the case, it cannot explain the attitude of nearby residents towards these stray cats. So the possibility of this speculation is the lowest."

"The third type is that these stray cats reproduce wantonly due to the pollution of magic power. At the beginning, there may only be a dozen of them, but because of the leakage of some alchemy potions or the pollution of the source of magic power, they mutated in a large area and reproduced. The ability to increase, so much in a blink of an eye... This possibility is slightly higher, but it can't explain the attitude of the residents..."

He eloquently listed six speculations, the most reliable of which was the first one.

The rest of the speculation makes it difficult to explain the attitudes of residents and visitors to stray cats.

The residents in the dock area obviously knew some reasons, but the troublesome thing was that both Xie Yutong and Xu Nan tried to negotiate and ask, but no one was willing to tell the truth.

After all, this is Stephen Sang, otherwise, Xu Nan would have used the touch of dementia to start asking questions.

...

"As expected of a senior!"

After hearing Xu Nan's analysis, Xie Yutong jumped up excitedly:

"I can think of so many possibilities! Especially the first one, I never thought about it!"

She quickly took out her small notebook and began to transcribe Xu Nan's guess.

Xu Nan looked at the other party's youthful breath, and couldn't help reminding her not to get carried away.

These are just guesses.

If you really want to find out the secret of the source of stray cats, you need more observation and tracking.

"We have to find a way to blend in with the stray cats."

"Do you have polymorph for feline creatures?"

As soon as Xu Nan opened her mouth, she knew it was Bai Wen. Xiao Xie was a mere third-level warlock, and Transfiguration was a blind spot for her.

You still have to rely on yourself.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and chanted a low incantation.

Bang!

Xu Nan disappeared, replaced by a petite quadruped in black.

"Wow! Senior, you can actually change shape!"

Xie Yutong showed an envious expression: "This dog is super cute!"

Xu Nan said silently: "This is the wolf of the underworld..."

"Huh?" Xie Yutong had a question mark on his face.

Xu Nan looked at her little paw, and added:

"Young body."

"By the way, do you think I look like a cat? Can I mix in with them?"

Xie Yutong stared at it for a long time, held back for a long time, and finally said:

"...can be like."

Xu Nan: "???"

Puff. The fat orange cat crushed the branch, fell directly from the tree, and fell on the grass in front of the two of them.

The orange cat licked its paws and got up, then glanced at Xu Nan, showed a disgusted expression, and walked away quickly.

Xu Nan and Xie Yutong looked at each other, and finally could only sigh slightly.

In this way, Xu Nan's plan to integrate into the stray cat community failed.

He was thinking about whether to buy some transfiguration scrolls for cat-like creatures tomorrow.

It's just that things changed at night.

Xu Nan, who was sleepy and yawning, was suddenly woken up by Xie Yutong:

"Senior, look? They're moving!"

"They went over there!"

"Hey, there's a boat!"

Xu Nan was shocked, and took a closer look.

With his dark vision, he clearly saw an unmanned airship quietly docking at a corner of the airport pier.

Stray cats came out from every corner of the dock area silently.

They walked very quietly and gracefully, and lined up to board the boat in an orderly manner.

They walk in the shadows with little sense of presence.

Only people like Xu Nan who have been staring at stray cats all day can notice this abnormality.

"What happened to that ship?"

"What are they going to do?"

Xu Nan realized the key:

"Let's follow up and find a way to get into bed!"
