Chapter 33

At night, the old street is quiet, most of the shops have already closed. There are no pedestrians here at night, and now it is even more lonely. Only the lighted street lamps leave a light shadow on the road.

In one corner of the old street, Antoine's Alchemy workshop was still on.

Antoine put down his cup and scanned the work of each alchemy array again, which cut off the magic supply and stopped the operation of the array.

Of course, it is impossible for him to let the Falun continue to work when he is asleep. Otherwise, if something goes wrong on the way, his alchemy workshop may be directly blown up. Antoine will tidy up everything before he slowly goes upstairs and goes back to his bedroom to get ready for sleep.

About an hour later, when snoring began upstairs, Antoine's door was quietly pried open, and a figure crept into the alchemy workshop.

"It's so simple."

Sanderson was dressed in black cloth, which had been with him for many years. At this time, he felt very uncomfortable. His steps were very light and he hardly made a sound. After all, theft was his old business.

If you put it in Piram's Alchemy workshop, when Sanderson pries open the door lock, the alarm of the array will ring. But the special array layout and maintenance will cost a lot of money, and Antoine obviously can't afford it.

Sanderson came to the alchemy array and took out a dark green stone from his pocket.

He certainly can't do magic, but what pilam gave Sanderson was real magic props.

This magic prop named record stone can perfectly copy the structure of the array in a space. It is a creation left over from ancient magic, and its specific principle has not been analyzed by modern magic.

At the beginning, the purpose of the recording stone was archaeology. When the mages found ancient magic relics, they used the recording stone to rubbings those difficult to analyze runes and arrays for further study. Now it has become a convenient means of copying and carrying drawings of small and medium-sized magic arrays.

Sanderson started the recording stone according to Piram's method. A green light swept by, and soon copied one of the cola production lines. It was perfect and impeccable.

"It's time to go."

Sanderson thought, but he suddenly found that there was silence around him, and he didn't know when he had stopped snoring.

For a moment, Sanderson was in a cold sweat. He quickly put away the record stone and walked toward the door.

"You thief!"

There was a roar behind Sanderson, followed by a hot air.

Even Sanderson, who can't do magic at all, can capture the burning flame's trace in midair.

A ring of magic, fireball.

The egg sized core, surrounded by a red flame, fell on Sanderson along a straight line.

He rushed forward, and the fireball passed on Sanderson's head, leaving a charred mark on his hair. It hit the wooden door and opened up a way for Sanderson.

Sanderson hurried out in a hurry. It was dark. He soon disappeared in the alley and could not find any more.

Because the copying process of the record stone will not leave any traces, Antoine will only think that it is an ordinary thief who wants to take a chance in the alchemy workshop. Sanderson sighs at Piram's wisdom, but gasps for breath with a lingering fear. He touches the record stone in his pocket. It takes a long time to settle down, but he feels a damp heat in his lower body.

The experience just now made him incontinent.

...

the next day, in Antoine's Alchemy workshop, Antoine was talking with Sheriff Leslie, who came to investigate and collect evidence.

"Are you sure nothing is missing?"

Leslie looked at the door opened by fireball and thought that the mage's damage to the room was more serious than that of the thief.

Fortunately, Leslie investigated the neighbors around him. Last night, someone did see an unidentified guy sneaking out of Antoine's Alchemy workshop. Only in this way can we roughly conclude that the theft was real, not the wizard's delusion.

"Nothing is lost. I think the thieves must have come for my alchemy array."

Antoine pointed to his own alchemy array.

"It's a bit difficult, Sheila, don't you think?"

Leslie asked her colleagues that Shira is a ring mage. Due to the increase of magic crimes recently, her magic crime Department has gradually become busy.

"If it's the crime of using the record stone, there will be no evidence left. Moreover, if the other party doesn't openly take out the alchemy array on some occasions, we can't find the whereabouts."

Sheila shakes her head. Her wheat skin is so healthy that she doesn't look like a wizard who focuses on research in the laboratory.

"How about prophecy?"

Leslie asked, because there have been examples in the past of using astrology to successfully find clues."I can't help it. There are too many magic elements involved in the event, and the prophecy will be greatly disturbed, unless you can invite a high-level mage, such as the one in the" star watcher. "

And sighed, Sheila had nothing to do.

Unlike ordinary people's ability to predict the future, although prophecy can make a relatively accurate divination for events that are not involved in magic, if there are magic elements in it, such as the current event, then the result of astrology will appear huge deviation, even completely opposite to the fact.

"Mr. Antoine, do you have any ideas about competitors?"

According to the experience, Leslie picked up a bottle of coke that had been made. This kind of drink has not become popular in Sorento, where the old street is located, so he still knows nothing about Piram cola.

"Piram's Alchemy workshop recently produced a batch of coke, which is similar to mine, but with different taste."

Antoine replied that he did not directly charge Antoine according to Lena's instructions, but only hinted at a wave.

"Piram's workshop? The possibility of commercial competition is great. "

Sheila seems to be in a bit of a dilemma. The alchemy workshop itself has many improper behaviors, but without direct evidence, the sheriffs of several cities can't convict him. As a mage, Sheila also spits on Piram's behavior.

"We will go back to investigate, but Mr. Antoine, I still have to tell you that unless we can find direct evidence to prove that your alchemy array was indeed stolen by Piram's Alchemy workshop, we can't be convicted."

"I understand."

Antoine nodded, and did not tell the two magistrates in front of him his signature in the alchemy circle.
