Chapter 548 Legendary Mage

Fermi was not surprised by this reaction. When faced with something that is difficult to measure with common sense, people's first reaction is always fear and dread.

To be honest, he did not want to take over such a case. Saint Blaney Palace is a very special place in the Azure Castle. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city within a city. They not only have their own defense force, but also a set of rules that are only effective in the villa. If any blind thief dares to commit a crime here, it is usually solved quietly inside. When they informed the police department of the news and asked the defense force of the Azure Castle to intervene, it meant that the matter was quite troublesome, so troublesome that the Saint Palace could no longer solve it alone.

The strange scene at the scene also confirmed this speculation step by step.

He could not even tell what type of demon possessor the attacker was at the first time.

Fermi looked to the east from a withered tree trunk, and the outline of the main building of the villa was clearly discernible. The distance of more than two miles is not far, nor is it close. At least he has never heard of the kind of spell that can easily destroy the maze lock at this scale.

Moreover, the description of the villa was "as if it had been bombarded by heavy artillery", which made it even more puzzling.

"Lord Cracked Tooth, we found something unusual over there." Suddenly a subordinate reported.

"Oh?" Fermi turned his head, "Take me to see."

Not far away, two broken slender iron pillars came into his sight.

He looked at it for a moment before recognizing that it seemed to be a kerosene street lamp pole.

This thing is made of cast iron, the price is not low, and the cost of use is also high. Only a few places in the Azure Castle can afford it. There are obvious signs of deformation at the bottom of the lamp holder, as if someone had pulled it directly from the base.

"We checked, these lamp posts are all from the roadside outside the woods." The subordinate continued, "There are a total of six missing on both sides of the road, but no footprints or towing marks were found between the two places."

Fermi couldn't help but frown.

He bent down, hugged a lamp post with both hands and slowly lifted it up, and the huge weight made his body sink slightly. If he hadn't turned into a dragon, it would have been extremely strenuous for him to carry such a heavy object back and forth between the road and the woods.

It's understandable that he didn't leave footprints - professional thieves know how to disappear, but it's incredible that there were no towing traces.

It's obviously easier to drag a lamp post by one end than to carry it on your shoulders. Unless you are strong enough to ignore this difference, there should be some traces left at the scene.

And the other party not only did it, but also went back and forth six times in a row?

Faced with this incredible situation, Fermi didn't know what expression to make for a while.

"Sir, what are they doing with the lamp posts here?" asked the deputy police officer.

"Think about it. Such a heavy thing must have been collected for an important purpose." Fermi pondered, "There are a total of six lamp posts, and there are still two left at the scene, which means that the attackers used four of them. As for their use..."

He was suddenly stunned when he said this.

- The villa seemed to have been bombarded by heavy artillery?

"No way..." he murmured.

"Sir?" The police officer looked up at his superior.

"This thing is the 'weapon' used to attack the Holy Palace!" Fermi whispered, "In order to cover the escape of their companions, the attackers threw these street lamps at the villa, and each attack was like a cannonball!"

"From here... into the villa?" The police officer looked like he was listening to a fairy tale, "Is that something a human can do?"

"A human can never do it, but with the help of magic, maybe it can." Fermi felt a little dry in his throat, "For example, summoning magic can summon some exotic creatures, which cannot be viewed with common sense... But once such dangerous things appear in the world, it is almost impossible to get them to go back obediently, so I am more inclined to believe that the other party is a transformation wizard, and is proficient in force field or strengthening spells."

"But ordinary transformation masters can't do this at all, right?"

The answer to the question is obvious. If any apprentice in the wizard tower can use lamp posts as artillery to fight, then all the cities in the world will be useless, and warships galloping on the ocean will no longer need to be equipped with those old gunpowder weapons.

Even if we take a step back, if even half of the mid-level wizards can cast such powerful spells, even the status of the Dragonborn will be in jeopardy.

Compared to the truth of the case, Fermi actually hoped that the other party was not a pure human.

If it was a Dragonborn wizard, his heart would be much calmer.

"Indeed, you are right." He nodded, "Based on my understanding of spells, such spellcasters are usually called legendary wizards."

...

The next morning, Fermi handed the investigation report to the Lord.

"A legendary wizard, a half-beast and a Dragonborn attacked St. Blaney Palace together?" Earl Cleveland rubbed his forehead after reading the report. Emotionally, he told him that this combination was impossible, but rationally, he had to accept this conclusion-you have to know that the Cracked Tooth family has served the Azure Castle for generations, and no one can match their experience in investigating cases. And Fermi Cracked Tooth in front of him is one of the best. At the age of less than 30, he took over his father's job and sat on the top of the police department. "Where did the group go after that?"

"We continued to go west through the woods and within a mile we would reach the busiest neighborhood in the city. When I got there, the attackers had disappeared."

"Okay...what was their purpose?"

"It's still unknown for now." Fermi said frankly, "I only know that they have invaded Azier. Lumen's private room."

"Again Azier?" The Earl smacked his lips. He had no good feelings for the bald guy with rings on his hands. This man's rise was as rapid as a storm. In less than ten years, he integrated nearly half of the businesses and factories in Azure Castle. During this period, there were at least dozens of bloody disputes. It was only because of the generous taxes paid by the other party that he asked the police department to turn a blind eye to it. "What I want to know most now is whether this group of people could be the real culprits of the hijacking of the Son of the Holy Spirit?"

If it was a legendary wizard who committed the crime, it would be completely reasonable to wipe out a church convoy before they met.

"I think this..."

"No, it's definitely not them." Lathein. Cracked Tooth on the side suddenly said.

"Oh? Can you assert?" The Earl glanced at the harbor defense officer. As dragon descendants of the Cracked Tooth family, Lathein and Fermi were completely different. He was appointed to manage the coastal defense because Lathein's combat strength was acceptable, but he was not trustworthy at all when it came to his brainpower.

"Uh... Your Excellency, I'm just guessing." Lathein coughed several times in succession, "After all, the two groups have very different styles of doing things."

Fomi looked at his cousin with some surprise. He had the impression that he rarely made such judgments, "Tell me more in detail."

"That... I got the information from my own channels, which may not be accurate." Lathein licked his lips and replied with a stiff upper lip, "The casualties of the Holy Palace... So far, there shouldn't be many, right?"
