Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Elsa is not sure whether the demons are really all evil and unforgivable, but so far the demons are indeed one of the targets worthy of vigilance.

While thinking about some strange things in her mind, Elsa's eyes swept across the plains outside the fortress, in the direction of the Rydes Mountains.

Now Tricia is removing the influence of the black branches that pollute the earth veins, so the mastermind behind this may take some action. Elsa is waiting for the moment when the other party takes action.

Although it is a bit stupid to sit back and wait for something to happen, it is still a good idea.

Thinking of this, Elsa's attention fell on the center of the magician's residence, and she saw the figures of Vivian and Filia.

"This person's name is 'Ake'. This is the best I can do based on my memory... Sorry..."

Levan said apologetically, controlling his magic to carve a portrait of "Ak" on the wooden board. Although it was called a portrait, it was actually just a rough image of a person made by kneading together some obvious features.

High in the sky, Aisha silently looked at the portrait "painted" by Levan, and felt it was abstract. But there was nothing she could do about it. Even close friends would not be able to accurately describe each other's appearance easily. What's more, Levan and Ak were not friends themselves, and could only be considered colleagues at most.

244. Assisting in Investigations

In the Magician Corps’ headquarters, Levan led several magicians to Hannah - these people were the “helpers” Hannah found from the Magician Corps, and they all knew Ake.

"'Ake' had a long, thin face with a beard, and this—to be honest, he took good care of his beard, but he rarely took care of his hair."

"He rarely speaks and never looks people in the eye, giving people a very sinister feeling."

"He was only this tall, a little shorter than me - he was very skinny and had no strength."

"He has a scar on his left hand. I saw it with my own eyes."

Levan tried hard to describe what Ak looked like, and several mages also talked about it and added their impressions of Ak.

Filia had been following along and listening, but she didn't participate in the discussion. Her white hood covered her emerald hair, and no one except Vivian and Hannah knew that she was a half-elf.

Hannah glanced at Levan, then looked at Vivian and Filia behind her. When investigating Luther's case, she had met Filia a few times, so she could be considered an acquaintance. Filia always gave her the feeling of being difficult to get along with. She kept a distant attitude towards everyone except Vivian and Elsa, and Filia's eyes always had a sharp feeling, as if she was looking at prey, making it difficult for people to approach her.

Filia is just like that.

At this time, Filia suddenly said:

"There are so many people with these characteristics, and they are everywhere on the streets."

This is true. Hannah knows how difficult it is to find someone who is deliberately hiding, and the characteristics listed by Levan and others can be found everywhere on the street. Hannah even wondered if this so-called "Ak" was deliberately dressed like this?

Levan and the magicians all frowned. This was all they knew about Ake. How could they provide more clues?

At this time, another person said: "There is a workshop in Ake, maybe we can go there to look for it..."

Hannah nodded: "Lead the way."

Soon, they came to a ruin.

"Ake's workshop is right here... But to be honest, I've never seen him invite anyone in..."

The magician said.

What lies before my eyes is the messy ruins of a building.

Renee asked curiously, "Each of you magicians is also assigned this kind of thing?"

"We don't have any, but Ake was once in charge of restoring magic circles and ancient books, so he was specially assigned a separate small workshop... They're all here together. Look over there, that's the deputy leader's workshop, it's much bigger than this one."

Although it had collapsed, everyone could still see how big Ryan's workshop was.

The deputy leader and current acting leader Ryan is a rare magician. The workshop he uses for research is even larger than that of the previous leader Kus Hegelman himself. This is no secret - after all, magicians often need to tinker with some magical devices and need such a quiet place. Other magicians do not have this need. Most of their time is invested in magic research and practice, and those trainings cannot be solved indoors.

Hannah nodded, "Let's clean this place up and see if we can find any clues."

Renee led people forward to start cleaning up, and they moved out the wreckage bit by bit.

The magicians stepped forward and said, "Let us take this place!"

Vivian also volunteered, "Then... I can help..."

Hannah nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."

I have to say that magic is indeed much more convenient than manpower in this kind of thing. I saw several magicians cooperating to use magic to lift the broken pillar, move it to an open space and put it down, steadily and quickly.

At this time, Vivian also silently chanted a spell, raised her little hand, and azure magic lines spread from under her feet. The collapsed building debris was suddenly wrapped in a faint light. Under Vivian's control, large pieces of debris were slowly lifted and thrown aside, and the original appearance of the room gradually emerged.

Levan and several magicians standing by were all surprised by this scene - Vivian's speed alone was faster than all of them combined.

"Such strong control... Such abundant magic power..."

They knew that Vivian was a combat nun of the church because she was still wearing her competition uniform at that time, but they didn't expect that Vivian's strength was far beyond theirs.

They didn't seem to want to be outdone by a young girl. They looked at each other and then cooperated tacitly to quickly clean up the debris.

The wreckage was quickly cleared, and Renee led people to start searching, while Hannah continued to ask about Ake.

Filia kept observing the surroundings and sniffed.

Elves have a good sense of smell, especially they are extremely sensitive to the smell of various plants. They are born to be the masters of natural magic. Filia also inherited this ability. She can smell the mixed smells in the dust of the explosion in the air, and she can distinguish the scent of some potions derived from plant extracts.

Filia came to the middle of the workshop and her eyes moved slowly.

Seeing this, Vivian followed.

"Did Philia find anything?"

"Hmm, some familiar smells, the smell of the forest."

"forest?"

Filia squatted down, gently twisted the broken medicine bottle with her fingertips, and sniffed it.

"It's a herb that no one would use unless it was used as poison. Some hunters use it on their arrowheads."

Filia explained, standing up.

"There's no other smell here—he's never been to the forest. He must have bought this grass from someone or commissioned it."

At this time, Hannah also came over. She heard everything Filia said. While she was surprised by Filia's keen sense of smell and rich knowledge, she also understood Filia's intention.

"I'll send Renee to investigate the herbalist and the guild."

Hannah said.

Filia looked around again and said, "In that case, I'll go to West Street and take a look."

"I'm going too," Vivian said.

Hannah nodded: "Then I will arrange some manpower here."

Hannah did not doubt the strength of Vivian and Filia, but it was necessary to ensure their safety. Since the enemy could control so many puppets, the danger should not be underestimated - even someone as strong as Sophia could easily fall victim to a sneak attack.

Elsa saw all of this, thought for a moment, and then remained invisible before flying directly towards the east district of the city.

Soon, she came to an alley, lifted the invisibility spell, and walked out.

Across the street was the Morton Fornia Chamber of Commerce, which Elsa had visited once before. Although it was called a chamber of commerce, it actually looked like a luxurious aristocratic mansion from the outside, and it was particularly eye-catching in this neighborhood.

I wonder if this side can provide any clues, Aisha thought.

After all, the owner of this place, Sylphreya Morton, is an outsider and almost became a victim of the zombie attack, so to some extent, Sylphreya is trustworthy, and she has a good relationship with the guild president, so perhaps Sylphreya can be used to help with the investigation.

245. Return to the Chamber of Commerce

It seemed too rude to go looking for someone in stealth, and Elsa had not learned illusion and large-scale hypnosis. If she walked into a crowd, she would be easily exposed.

So Elsa lifted her invisibility.

But wearing a nun's uniform didn't seem so good either. In order to avoid being recognized, Elsa changed into a smart swordsman's coat - this was a ready-made coat that Elsa bought while she was still in Weilin Town, and it was originally designed for use in occasions like this.

She then took out a knight's steel sword, hung it around her waist, and walked towards the Chamber of Commerce in a very professional manner.

Arriving at the hall, Elsa saw people dressed in all kinds of styles coming and going. It was very lively. Many people came here to trade, and there were also specialists to provide consulting and help. To be honest, Elsa didn't know what business the Morton Fornia Chamber of Commerce was doing.

The people here all seemed to be businessmen, making them easy to identify. However, anyone could tell at a glance that Elsa wasn't a businessperson. It wasn't just her clothing that was different; her demeanor and manner made it clear she didn't belong here.

However, there are many guards here, including the merchants' personal guards and the guards of the Chamber of Commerce, so Elsa's outfit is not out of place.

Some people noticed Elsa and were amazed by her beauty, but that was all. They were all busy, and Elsa would let them stop briefly, but she wouldn't let them stay. No one here knew Elsa - even though Elsa was now known as a "hero", few people actually knew her, which was exactly what Elsa wanted.

At this time, a tall, handsome male waiter came over and saluted Elsa with appropriate etiquette - perhaps because he had received special training, his movements and expressions were just right and impeccable.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

The waiter asked with a smile, polite and elegant. However, Elsa seemed not to notice.

"I'm looking for Sifreya Morton. Please let her know on my behalf. I bought three wands here. Just tell her."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, looked behind Elsa, and carefully examined her attire before saying:

"Do you have an appointment?"

"reserve?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm very busy recently. If you want to see me, you need to make an appointment in advance."

"Oh, I'm so abrupt."

That's true. After all, she is the daughter of a large chamber of commerce and the actual operator of the Morton-Furnia Chamber of Commerce's Dammas branch. Her time is naturally very precious. It is reasonable for her to make an appointment in advance if she wants to meet.

However, even though she understood it, Elsa had no intention of delaying it - it was just that Elsa would use other methods to get in.

"Then I'll come back next time."

Elsa thanked the waiter and turned to leave the Chamber of Commerce. The male waiter was stunned for a moment, but Elsa had already walked away. At this time, another female waiter came over and winked at him with a gloating look: "Wow, I didn't expect your beauty trick to fail?"

The waiter's face showed embarrassment.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Elsa did not go far away, but turned into the alley next to it. She planned to find Sifreya directly.

Elsa's control of invisibility was naturally not as precise as Tricia's, and she could only play an auxiliary role. If she was close to others at a certain distance, it would be easy for others to notice anything unusual, so Elsa did not plan to enter from the main gate. She walked around the Chamber of Commerce and came to the back of the Chamber of Commerce, where there were several flower beds. From here, you can see the terrace on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce and the luxurious decoration inside. Elsa jumped directly in. The moment she fell, magic condensed a layer of ice, which supported Elsa. At the same time, wind magic vibrated the airflow, and in an instant, a small vacuum area was drawn out, blocking the sound.

Elsa landed smoothly. She glanced around and saw that this seemed to be a reception room for guests. Exquisite paintings, crossed knight swords and beautifully carved steel shields were hung on the walls on both sides. There were no signs of burning on the candlesticks and the carpet was spotlessly clean.

Elsa used the magic she had just tried out while observing the fortress to extend her hearing to several surrounding rooms. Some of them were empty, but there was movement in one of them.

"Mr. Reed, it's already half an hour, why hasn't your daughter arrived yet?—Hmph, since she's so busy, it would be unreasonable for me to continue disturbing her. So, please give this letter to her."

The voice that was speaking now was one she had never heard before, but to be honest, Elsa could hear the gunpowder in the person's words, as well as the arrogance of superiority.

Elsa didn't care much about it. What happened between merchants had nothing to do with her.

Soon, the old voice of the butler Reed reached his ears.

"I've already told you that the young lady is ill today and won't be seeing any guests."

"Really? It seems I don't know the etiquette."

Reed didn't say anything, but his breathing became heavier and it was obvious that he was a little angry.

As footsteps appeared, the man continued, "This is what our young master meant. Oh, and this..."

"what is this?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know. I'm just a messenger. The young master said that you, young lady, will understand after reading it. Well, I have brought the letter and will not stay for long."

"Hmph, no thanks."

Soon, there was the sound of a door opening, but what followed was a loud bang -

Bang.

A door had been kicked in somewhere—rudely.

Reed's furious old voice came: "Knight Monk! What are you doing!?"

"Me? Don't get me wrong, my master heard that the fortress was attacked by ghouls, so he asked me to see your young lady with my own eyes. This is also to confirm her safety, right?"

"you……!"

As he spoke, there was another muffled sound - bang.

"Stop! Is this what your master taught you?"

"Please forgive my impoliteness, but I am only following orders. You are just a servant, why are you making things difficult for me?"
