Half-elf Notebook

In order to prevent bounty hunters and adventurers from focusing on this most secretive residence where a magic workshop is most likely to be built, it is understandable that they would take the initiative to expose their whereabouts in the city.

Before being instructed to enter the sewer to investigate, neither Ina nor Bello would have thought in this direction.

Judging from the summarized information and the arrest situation, the other party was obviously at ease.

Bounty hunters and adventurers can find traces of him, but no ambush on him has ever been successful.

It seemed that it was not Bot Albido who was surrounded, but that he was playing everyone in the palm of his hand...

In this situation, who could have imagined that all of Bot Albido's performances were just a diversion to reveal his real residence hidden underground in the city.

However, this assumption is not absolutely correct.

- Is there really a magician's residence in the basement, or is this just another inducement made by the murderous magician to attract the attention of hunters?

The possibility between the two is, perhaps, only fifty-fifty.

So, when Ward thought of this, he actually just regarded this as a guess, an interesting and worthwhile direction of investigation.

The two of them continued to move forward, looking at the similar overlapping supporting structures and masonry walls. Ina did not consider it as comprehensively as Ward, but she thought in a slightly more diverse and more extreme direction.

Satanic rituals, in the limited records that exist, are always accompanied by blasphemy and madness.

In the anecdotes passed down in the church, there are examples of fanatical heretics even offering themselves as sacrifices during the sacrificial process.

She believed that the magician who believed in the devil did not just build a temporary hiding place or magic workshop in the sewer.

For example, what was built in the sewer was not only a magic workshop and a residence—it was also a demon altar for sacrifices...

Suppose that belief in demons had affected Bot Abid's mind, that he considered the ritual altar more important than his own life.

Then it is not so difficult to understand why he took risks and appeared in the city many times.

It is not surprising that a person who has had contact with the devil and is no longer mentally normal will eventually be corrupted and become a devil's puppet - after all, he was just a high-level magician.

The sewer was still quiet. Apart from the rats scurrying around in the darkness, the only sound was the occasional sound of water flowing from the sewage channel into the ditch, which drowned out the sound of her and Bello's footsteps.

Normally, this should be the case.

Until an indistinguishable noise entered Ina's troubled mind. It was like an auditory hallucination caused by staying in a confined space for a long time, and it seemed to be mixed with magical stimulation. It was a strange sound that really came from the depths of darkness.

Ina subconsciously stopped and walked, unconsciously paused, and looked back at the road behind her.

The dim underground passage was winding and had many branches. In the corridor engulfed by darkness, there were at least a dozen forks in the road that were hidden from sight.

The light from the lantern in her hand could only illuminate the last corner they passed.

Ina frowned slightly.

She is a high-level magician.

After becoming mid-level formal magicians who have a rough grasp of their own spiritual power, magicians will significantly reduce the impact of their environment and emotions.

This is the basis for the magician to cast spells more steadily at any time.

Unless one is suffering from the side effects of meditation for a long time and accumulates to a certain extent, or is repeatedly attacked by meditation and magic in a short period of time... and is directly affected by magic or other supernatural powers.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances where her mental abilities are full, it is impossible for her to have auditory and visual hallucinations.

——For the first two, Ina was very sure that she did not have any related problems, at least they had not occurred before.

"And in this sewer where few people come, it is hard to imagine that someone would draw a triggering magic circle that would interfere with the minds of high-level magicians..."

"If it was the magic circle that Bot Albido had set up in the corridor near his underground residence, then what Mr. Bello and I triggered should be a dangerous magic circle of magic arrows, fireballs, etc."

"Instead, a non-dangerous mind-disturbance or illusion-type spell."

Ina drew out her magic sword with a cry, and chanted the magic spell in a low voice while keeping an eye on the darkness at the end of the fire.

Now, the possible answers are few and far between.
