Chapter 52

George Byron, 24 years old, is a young scholar of the Truth Society. He is good at alchemy, and he is quite accomplished in spell identification and trace tracing.

As a second-level alchemist certified by the Truth Society, he can create alchemical props that can kill or defend panic-level existences.

Under normal circumstances, although he also has strong detection capabilities, he is more often used as a logistics staff, responsible for providing reliable equipment for combatants.

However, because too many things have happened in Nuojin recently, and the fighting and conflicts are extremely frequent, the personnel of the Truth Society cannot coordinate in a short period of time.

The Truth Society does not lack logistics, but there are not many investigators who can play a role on the battlefield, especially as a large number of scholars who are mostly civilians do not want to participate in the battle at all.

So this time, he was urgently dispatched to take charge of the on-the-spot investigation of this vicious incident.

It is said to be a vicious incident, but it is actually a terrorist attack.

"This group of black wizards are really lunatics. They actually launched a destructive spell here, and the ether monitoring network did not respond before that..."

Standing on the ruins, Byron, who had roughly restored the scene, opened his eyes.

He looked at the ruins in the heavy rain and frowned.

It's not just the apparent loss of life and building damage.

Even more frightening is the failure of truth in monitoring and forecasting.

This either means that the dark wizards have a way to avoid the ether monitoring network, or there is a rebellion within the Truth Society.

Byron wrote down his conjectures in his investigative notes.

"The ones who died were the leader of the Red Cult, 'Prayer' Murphy, and several other dark wizards. The attack methods used by both sides are as follows..."

"This attack is clearly targeted, and all the attacks are directed at the bookstore on the 23rd Street, but the Red Sect group, who had been fighting the Secret Ritual Tower and the Hunter Organization before, suddenly ran here What to do... who is in the bookstore."

Byron couldn't help but look over the ruins, and cast his eyes on the bookstore.

The enchantment they set up will cover all around, and they are modifying the memory of everyone in the area, except this bookstore is blank.

Compared with the surrounding ruins, the street in the middle is like a chasm, dividing the two sides into two.

One side is a completely destroyed area, and the other side is intact, as peaceful as usual.

This time, the attack by the black wizards of the Red Sect was completely blocked, and they counterattacked forcefully to directly kill them.

The other side of the party also possesses the strength of destruction level or even higher.

The Truth Society does not know who the owner of this bookstore is, which means it is uncontrollable.

"I'll go to the bookstore to investigate." Byron suddenly ordered the people next to him, jumped off the ruins, and walked towards the bookstore. The ordinary bookstore is just across the street, with dim lights on, and it is difficult to see clearly due to the fog.

But it seems to have a strange magic power, attracting people to want to see what is in this bookstore.

After walking for a while, he was almost at the door.

"Crack." Someone pressed his shoulder.

"Stop."

The man's voice was low and serious.

Byron turned his head and saw the tall and strong white-haired man. He frowned: "Mr. Joseph, what's the matter?"

The man asked back, "What are you going to do?"

Byron said naturally: "Investigate this suspicious bookstore."

He picked up his notebook: "My duty is to clarify this matter, and the person in this bookstore is obviously another party involved. I need to provide the truth for the Truth Society."

Joseph whispered: "For the sake of your sanity, don't go."

"Knowledge keeps my mind calm. Reason is an essential quality for every scholar." Byron said, "I will never waver. You are insulting my personality."

"Even if you are a destructive knight, a respectable senior, you can't make fun of my sanity."

"Besides, this is my duty."

Joseph has always had a headache for the elm heads of the Truth Society. He understands that if there is no solid evidence, these wooden guys will not be able to pull back even if they are nine cows.

But the guy in front of him is not simple, he can make panic-level alchemy props, which is already a level that can be called a "master".

Most of the alchemy props used in the Secret Ritual Tower were purchased in bulk from the Society of Truth.

Perhaps a large number of them were written by Byron.

"The Secret Ritual Tower has listed this bookstore as a Level I area, but it has not yet been connected to the database of the Truth Society. This time, the owner of the bookstore is helping us. Don't be ignorant."

Joseph glanced at the bookstore: "I don't think the owner of the bookstore would like you to question him."

Byron in front of him has enough status in the Truth Society to know the contents of the top-secret level.

Byron's pupils shrank, his expression moved, and he said in disbelief, "Level I? In NUO?"

Of course he felt unbelievable, the truth would develop almost pervasively in Nuojin, how could there be a level I under the nose for so many years without discovering it.

Although Level I is powerful, the Ethernet network of the Society of Truth was also established by a great existence of Level I. Theoretically speaking, there will be absolutely no fish that slip through the net.

"What? It feels fake?" Joseph curled his lips: "Just now, a destructive-level black wizard cast a destructive-level spell here, but the network of your Truth Society didn't respond at all. Only the owner of the bookstore stopped them, not as fast as the Secret Ritual Tower."

"This... this is..."

Byron was at a loss for words, his lips moved, and he didn't know what to say in embarrassment.

Joseph sneered twice: "You should check yourself carefully."

At this moment, the bell on the door of the bookstore rang, and the wooden door creaked open.

The two immediately followed and saw a beautiful elf in white robes coming out of the bookstore.

The two were stunned for a moment, but Byron was stunned because he didn't expect an elf to appear in the bookstore, and Joseph was stunned as expected.

When he borrowed "Children of the Abyss" before, he guessed that the owner of the bookstore is a long-lived species, and there is a high probability that he is an elf.

Now this guess has finally been confirmed.

Elves are a very exclusive and proud race, and it is almost impossible to stay with humans.

It can be said that they are born racist.

The story of a man and an elf falling in love is just a story after all.

And the elves who came out of the bookstore were not only of pure blood, but also looked respectful when they exited the bookstore!

The last doubt in Joseph's heart was answered, and he thought that he should return the book... and the magic sword should have its own new owner.

The elf turned to look at them, then raised his head and said with a smile, "Humans, what are you doing in front of my lord's gate?"
