A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"Where?" Levi looked over and asked.

"Yes, the city's sewers, the grottoes half submerged in the water...these places are the water ghost's favorite lairs." Field said.

"Should we go in and explore? But we don't have lighting equipment." Levi said.

Levi’s current space is as follows:

【空间材料：旧钱夹、威士忌*37、烟草*45、铅酸蓄电池*5、水银*5、盐*20、硫磺*19、钙片*20、水鬼的脑袋*4、呓语者骨锥2、韦伯利左轮手枪*1】

【Current space: 11/13】

He regretted not putting a flashlight or something in the space. Exploring such a sewer in the dark would easily lead to a sneak attack.

"Don't worry about that." Field pulled out a short wooden wand from his coat, which looked like something from Harry Potter.

"This is a time-sensitive prop given by Reese...let me see how to use it..." She said and took out a piece of paper from her pocket with many different actions and spells written on it.

Field tilted his head to look at the paper, and waved his other hand up and down: "Lumos!"

The top of the wand then lit up with a long blue light.

"Hehe, it's quite useful." Field looked over with a smile.

And Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and was stunned for a moment.

This...isn't this the magic in "Harry Potter"?

Could it be that the famous British JK is also a wizard... No, the earth and here are two distinct worlds, and it is unlikely that there will be any connection.

Perhaps it can only be explained as a coincidence... Levi suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned his attention to another thing.

"What do you mean by time-sensitive props?"

"It is a magical creation created by attaching the power of witchcraft to an object." Field said, "Many wizards can do similar things with their witchcraft, such as you."

"Since the power of witchcraft will gradually decline, these creations have a use period, so we call them time-sensitive props."

Levi nodded. Each of his potions has a shelf life, which ranges from one hour to a few days. The shelf life of the bone awl is unclear, but it seems to last for several years.

However, since there are temporary props, shouldn’t there be corresponding permanent props?

Levi was thinking secretly in his heart, and was about to ask a question, but saw that Field had already walked away.

He had no choice but to suppress his curiosity again and chase after him.

……

The two people walked into the huge cement sewage pipe one after another. It was connected to the sewer and the space was not small.

There is a thin layer of sewage on the ground, and there are many green algae attached to the cement.

Field took the lead with a wand, and a small area was illuminated by a faint blue light.

The sewer in the dark was eerily quiet. Levi swallowed and silently took a few steps closer to Field.

"Have you found any traces of the water ghost?" Levi asked.

"No." Field frowned and said, "Water ghosts will not leave footprints on the concrete floor. And the sewage flows over and covers up other traces."

"Yeah."

Levi looked down and saw sewage trickling out, covering their boots. He couldn't help in this matter. He had never learned to track, so he might not even realize the traces were right in front of him.

After walking some distance further, it was completely dark here and they could not see their fingers. The two of them could only distinguish the road by the blue fluorescent light flashing in the darkness.

Soon, Levi heard the sound of rushing water, which meant that there was a very high drop ahead.

Field quickened his pace, and Levi was afraid of being left behind in the darkness, so he hurriedly followed.

Less than five minutes later, the two came to the end of the sewer. In front of them was a straight and tall cement wall with a circular hole on the wall. That was the connection between the city sewer and here. There was an iron layer on the hole. The fence, sewage flowed out of the hole and poured onto the ground.

The temperature here is much higher than outside, the air is hot and humid, and there is a smell of rot.

Li Wei looked around and saw that there were no other passages on either side.

"This is the end." Levi said, "Isn't it possible that the water ghost is hiding here?"

"Who knows... let's look around." Field said, holding up the wand that emitted a blue light.

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, and then suddenly found that she had kicked something. It was heavy and soft, like...

Field immediately stopped, lowered his head solemnly, and stretched out his wand to shine.

Under the dim blue light, the things blocking the ground gradually revealed their original shapes.

It was something like a corpse—a female corpse, but the corpse was already rotting and the body was soaked to pieces.

The stench penetrated Field's nose, and the face of the corpse was mangled, as if something had chewed it.

Field quickly calmed himself down.

"Levi, come here and take a look at this."

The latter came over and when he saw the corpse on the ground clearly, Levi couldn't help but have the urge to retching.

"Hold my wand."

Field handed over the wand, and Levi reached out to catch it and help her illuminate it.

Field slowly squatted down and checked the body's injuries.

Her whole body could not be said to be intact. There were chippings on her face, bones could be seen, and her scalp had been chewed off in many places.

There were even more on his body, half of his chest had been chewed off and his flesh and blood were bloody, and a large piece of his leg had been bitten off.

"This must have been done by the water ghost." Field said in a serious voice, "I want to confirm the time of her death..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to open her eyelids and check her pupils.

"The pupils are not dilated...wait?"

Field was startled, then grabbed Levi's hand and moved the wand downwards to let the light shine into the eyes of the "corpse". Soon, she clearly saw that the pupils of the "corpse" on the ground shrank weakly. one time!

This can only mean one thing.

"She's not dead yet?" Field put his hand close to her nostrils in disbelief. The air flow was so weak that it was hard to feel it.

"She's not dead yet," Field repeated again, this time to Levi.

The two were silent for a moment.

"So she was chewed alive like this."

Levi spoke first, with pity in his voice, and then a guess suddenly came to his mind.

"Alive, but lost consciousness, turned into a vegetative state, and appeared here again..." Field also realized something.

There is no doubt that she is the ‘mother’ of the Metalia family!

"We have to take her back." Levi looked at Field and said, "Firstly, it's because of what's in her head, and secondly, her survival can only be described as a miracle. If we put her here, she will never survive long. .”

"I agree." Field nodded, "Put aside the hunting of water ghosts for now, let's carry her on our back..."

As Field was talking, she suddenly heard some kind of sound coming through the air, and some kind of threat was quickly approaching from above behind her!

Ah...where did you say the third watch is?

I'm so shy, isn't this a new chapter related to the work...
