The Last Alchemist

The magician Brown's room is also very spacious, with complete furniture and spotless surface. The afternoon sun shines in from the window, and the whole room is bright and warm.

But this is just an appearance. No matter how beautiful the appearance is, it cannot hide the fact that Brown is a powerful magician.

In this world, it is quite dangerous to search the magician's residence without authorization.

This is true even if the magician is not present.

Rosen stood at the door of the room and asked, "The room looks very clean. How often does the servant clean it?"

"Clean once every morning. What's wrong?" Petain didn't understand the danger of the matter. He seriously underestimated the power of the magician, or he didn't know anything about the power of the magician at all.

However, his answer made Rosen feel a little relieved: 'It has to be cleaned every day, and that guy is just staying in the Blackthorn Villa. In order to avoid accidental injuries, even if that guy sets up some magic traps, they must be non-lethal. Or perhaps, in order to avoid trouble, he may have only set up some detection magic. ’

According to Hill’s explanation, when a magician doesn’t want people to touch his personal belongings, he will set up detection magic near the items. This kind of magic is usually very secretive and difficult to be detected by people other than the magician himself.

Now, the door of Magician Brown’s room has been accidentally opened. Perhaps the detection magic set in the room has been triggered.

‘Forget it, no matter how much, the opportunity is rare, let’s search it first. ’

Thinking of this, Rosen walked into the magician’s room carefully with a meat grinder and a musket.

There are a lot of furniture in the room, including furniture, beds, desks, wardrobes, etc. The spacious room also uses several wooden screens for isolation, dividing the room into three areas, namely the office area where the desk is located, the bedroom where the bed is located, and the bathroom where the bath is located.

For the owner of the room, doing this will naturally improve the comfort of life, but for Rosen, an outsider investigator, the view of this room is very poor and people can hide everywhere.

What’s worse is that judging from the hoof prints on the wooden floor, the shadow demon is very likely to hide in this room.

Rosen became more alert and highly focused.

Veronica's words rang in his mind: 'The shadow demon is very fast. Mobius is very fast, but the adult shadow demon is faster than him. What's more terrifying is that they can skillfully use the changes in light and shadow to interfere with the enemy's vision. If you encounter it, don't fight hard, just protect yourself! '

Annie also told Rosen: 'Remember, don't give the shadow demon any time to display your innate abilities. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter it, you must take action first, master the rhythm of the battle, and catch your opponent off guard! '

If he encounters the shadow demon today, it will be the first time he faces a monster independently after coming to the other world, and it is still a very powerful monster.

Even though Rosen was fully prepared, when the time came, he still felt his heartbeat speeding up, and dense cold sweat permeated his forehead. Every step he took, he felt as if he was walking on the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful, he might fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

Just moving forward little by little, when he arrived at an area, Rosen's first step was to activate the power of alchemy and carefully check the items and various traces in an area.

He would not move forward again until he had checked to the limit of the alchemy magic power.

When checking, Rosen paid special attention to the direction of the hoof prints left by the shadow demon on the wooden floor.

As the investigation continued to deepen, Rosen gradually moved to the magician's bedroom area.

The bedroom is a person's most private place. If a person has any secrets, the most likely hiding place is the bedroom. Because of this, the possibility of setting up magic defense in the bedroom is also the greatest.

Rosen was very alert and continued to explore forward.

"There are not many hoof prints on the floor. Judging from the hoof prints found before, this shadow demon should have entered the magician's room three times. The first time, it only stayed near the door. The second time, it went to the office area. The third time, the shadow demon went to the bedroom area. Judging from the freshness of the hoof prints, the last hoof print appeared in the recent period, maybe a day ago, or maybe one or two hours ago."

"It is very likely that the shadow demon is hiding somewhere in the bedroom!"

Rosen felt cold sweat seeping out of his back and goose bumps on his skin.

He walked step by step in the bedroom, approaching the big bed in the middle of the bedroom step by step. At the same time, his alchemical power filled the space of 2 meters around his body, exploring all the entities in the nearby space.

When Rosen was less than 1.5 meters away from the big bed, his alchemical magic power just reached the wooden cabinet on the right side of the bed. His thoughts spread over, and the objects in the wooden cabinet entered his mind one by one.

'It's in the form of sheets, neatly stacked together, it should be a book. ’

‘It’s very dense, heavy, round, with a hole in the middle as thick as a finger. It should be a gold ring. ’

‘It’s long, with a dense outer shell and a hollow center. There is a very active energy in the space. Why does it look so familiar? Isn’t this the flashing wand I made? ! ’

The flashing wand, also known as Miss Adele’s moon wand, is in the bedside table of the magician Brown. According to Anne’s investigation, the wand was stolen by a shadow demon.

At this point, the truth of this murder case seems to be about to be revealed.

‘Currently, there is a high probability that Magician Brown and Shadow Demon know each other. Shadow Demon lived in the Blackthorn Villa for a long time. From the hoof prints, it was inferred that Shadow Demon had lived in the villa for at least three months. So when did the magician arrive at the villa? ’

Rosen directly asked the insider: "Master Petain, how long has Mr. Magician lived in the villa?"

"He came here about four months ago. He was originally the magic instructor of the college and my aunt's disciple. So my aunt sent him to protect me." Petain knew everything.

Rosen was shocked when he heard this. Judging from the time, the time when Shadow Demon and Magician Brown arrived at the villa was not much different, that is, the relationship between the front and back feet.

He could feel that the truth was right in front of him, but at the same time, he also knew that in a murder case, the closer to the truth, the closer to the murderer, and the more dangerous he would be!

Rosen wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, activated his alchemical power again, and then took a step closer to the big bed.

The alchemical magic spread over and covered most of the wooden bed. The outlines of various objects on and under the bed were reflected in Rosen's mind one by one.

in the sea.

Half a second later, Rosen discovered that the wooden bed was hollow and there was a large cabinet under the bed.

After another half second, Rosen's attention was attracted by the object in the cabinet. He gently controlled the air around the object and gently scraped it around the 'object'.

Then, the shape of this 'object' emerged in Rosen's mind.

"A completely undetectable object. There is no sound at all, no heartbeat, no breathing, and the temperature is exactly the same as the environment. From the curve, it looks like a section of the human body. Oh no, the one hiding under the bed is the Shadow Demon!" Rosen's heart suddenly exploded.

Veronica said: 'Shadow Demon is good at lurking and can enter a dormant state similar to hibernation. In this state, Shadow Demon can almost completely blend into the environment! ’
