Weird Star Witch

Standing on the outskirts of Fabro, Rudolf put down his telescope and was stunned.

What is that?

On the 5-story office building of the parliament, the tallest building in Fabro, there is an iron frame tower as tall as the office building.

The galvanized silver anti-rust paint and the hollow conical tower body reminded Rudolf of the signal tower he had seen in his previous life.

Alchemists have a strong sense of confidentiality. Their most advanced research results are in the hands of large companies and alchemy research institutes. Rudolf has no way to know that knowledge.

What is the signal tower used for? Could it be used to deal with him?

On the roof of the parliament office building, Yevgeny was holding a pipe and watching the alchemists debugging the signal tower.

Yevgeny couldn't help but sigh: "The ability of alchemists is becoming more and more impressive. According to your theory of technological explosion, in another hundred years, where will there be room for other apostles to survive?"

The theory of technological explosion is an important theory of alchemists. Alchemists believe that the speed of technological development is getting faster and faster. In the past, it would take three centuries for a genius to make a qualitative leap in research theory, but now, earth-shaking changes may occur in 50 years.

Pena, the head of the Equipment Department of the Judgment Hall, did not respond. Deputy Director Yevgeny is not an alchemist, but a Level 5 Word Spirit, because Pena does not know whether he should be more modest or admit that the alchemist's technology is indeed undergoing earth-shaking changes.

More than 50 years ago, an alchemist used human experiments on wizards and found that the wizard's star power is a kind of cosmic background radiation. Since then, the means by which alchemists deal with wizards have undergone fundamental changes.

Alchemists no longer pursue direct confrontation with wizards, but use simpler and more efficient shielding arrays.

Alchemy shielding arrays have become the best means to restrain wizards. Shielding arrays have also been updated and upgraded from generation to generation. Supported by the research results of a Level 6 alchemist, shielding signal towers have appeared. The range of this signal tower is so wide that only 5 signal towers are needed to shield the cosmic background radiation of the entire Fabro City, greatly restraining the ability of wizards.

Moreover, this signal tower is mass-produced. As long as they are willing to spend money and invest resources, alchemists can erect this signal tower in every city, making wizards completely become apostles like werewolves, who can only live in the wilderness or wander around the city with their tails between their legs.

Signal towers can prevent wizards from replenishing their star power. In this way, wizards can only rely on the star power stored in their bodies, and their strength is greatly reduced.

Pena, the person in charge of shielding signal towers, said:

"Deputy Director Yevgeny, these signal towers will also have a certain impact on the planetary prophecy power of the words. The power of the words, like that of wizards, also comes from outer space. However, the impact of the signal tower on the planetary prophecy power of the words will not be as obvious as the impact on the cosmic background radiation star power of wizards. The two abilities are one near and one far, and the bands are very different.

If you need it, the signal tower will be closed for a period of time every day to facilitate your divination of criminals."

Yevgeny's intuition told him that the alchemists would become more and more powerful in the future, which was one of the reasons why he joined the alchemists.

"Don't set a fixed time to shut down the signal tower, and don't let the wizard find a pattern."

"Okay, Deputy Director Yevgeny."

Under the office building, many alchemists were looking up at the workers climbing up and down the shielding signal tower. This kind of high-end equipment actually appeared in a remote city like Fabro City, which really made people feel warm.

In contrast to the warm alchemists, Rudolf felt uncomfortable when he arrived at the South City Cemetery.

The Dordo District also built a shielding signal tower. The closer to the signal tower, the more sluggish the star power in the body will be.

Scratching his head painfully, Rudolf suddenly remembered that the great man said that technology is the primary productive force, which is also true in the other world.

What can I do?

Just last month, it was emphasized that Fabro City does not allow the emergence of a speaker. Now they have elected a new speaker. Isn't this a slap in Rudolf's face?

They elected an "acting" speaker. I don't know if this is considered to give Rudolf some face, and the slap in the face is not that loud.

Staying in the suburbs of Fabro City, Rudolf didn't know what to do. He needs to adapt to these signal towers and find a way to move around inside them.

After nightfall, Rudolf looked up and searched for the trajectory of the planets in the sky, wanting to do a divination for himself.

These signal towers have a significant shielding effect on the background radiation of the universe farther away, and also have an impact on the prophetic power of nearby planets.

Rudolf had to retreat to a farther distance before completing the divination. The result is good, the danger is controllable, and he can get out of danger after dying a few times.

Rudolf didn't know whether he should be happy or not. If the signal tower is fully powered, the words in the witch hunter will also be affected, which proves that he will not be found so easily by the words.

At this time in the city center, Yevgeny left the parliament. For several consecutive days, he has not been able to divine the whereabouts of the furnace, and he only has some evidence that is very weakly related to the furnace.

The strongest correlation of the words of the spirits is biological specimens: hair, blood, nails, etc., which can help the words get the most direct divination results.

Unfortunately, the furnace is very cautious, and there are no biological specimens of the furnace in the trial office.

The second most relevant thing is trace specimens, such as signatures, fingerprints, etc.

On the night when Vice Speaker Jem died, Ronglu sneaked into the Trial Office and destroyed all trace evidence of Ronglu in the Trial Office, such as the year-end summary that Ronglu had to write every year when he was in the police station, and the documents written by Ronglu when he was a patrolman and police officer.

As for other credentials, the effectiveness of divination is much lower.

Tonight, Yevgeny felt slightly flustered, as if something was going to happen tonight. Yan Ling trusts his intuition very much. If he is worried about something, then something will definitely happen.

A subordinate witch hunter came behind Yevgeny: "Deputy Director, it's time to set off. Baron Jennifer has returned to her mansion."

"Let's go and act according to the plan."

A group of more than a dozen witch hunters headed towards the wealthy Brown District and went straight to the Baron's mansion in Gasse Town.

In the Baron's study, Yevgeny met Baron Jennifer, who was mentioned in the records of the Tribunal as having a close relationship with the Furnace.

Jennifer's expression was ugly. On her desk, there was a letter of introduction, a letter of introduction personally written by Speaker Obaid, asking her to cooperate with Yevgeny's investigation.

Seeing Baron Jennifer staring at him with a livid face and unkind eyes, Yevgeny was also helpless.

"Jennifer Baron, I'm sorry to bother you."

"If you're really sorry, you can leave now."

Yevgeny was hit with a soft nail, but he just smiled: "Baron Jennifer, do you really think that the Tribunal will ignore your dirty past of colluding with wizards because of your status as a baron?"

The temperature in the study suddenly dropped a bit, and Jennifer stared at Yevgeny, who was holding a pipe in front of her, with disdain on her chubby face. The Fabro City Judicial Office has no choice but to take a baron. The County Judicial Office needs to worry about the face of Viscount Sawan and Earl Barron, but the Provincial Judicial Office will not take a small baron seriously.

"I think the letter on your desk, this letter written by Speaker Obaid, is enough to give you face. Don't be so naive, Baron Jennifer, you are not a little girl who doesn't know the world, and you are resisting the trial hall. To you, No benefit at all."

Jennifer closed her eyes, her twitching eyelids showing how unwilling she was at this moment.

"You can search for whatever you want, I won't stop you."

Yevgeny nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good start, Baron Jennifer, your choice is very wise."

In fact, Yevgeny was just passing the extra time, because the witch hunters had already started searching, and Jennifer's consent was not needed.

Half an hour later, a witch hunter entered the baron's study and whispered something next to Yevgeny.

Yevgeny nodded while listening: "I understand, nothing was found, right?"

Unexpectedly, no clues were found in the baron's house. Yevgeny said: "Baron Jennifer, can you take the initiative to hand over the items related to the furnace that you hold? This will be good for you."

"Items related to the furnace?" Jennifer thought for a moment before saying, "Does memory count?"

"Baron Jennifer!" Yevgeny suddenly slammed the table: "I hope you understand the current situation! The key now is not only the criminal in the furnace, but also the acceptance of refugees by the Alchemy Council!

The life and death of the furnace is related to the stability of Fabro City, and the stability of Fabro City is related to the acceptance of refugees by the Alchemy Council.

There is no room for negotiation on this matter! No noble can stop the Alchemy Council from accepting refugees! This is a major project that the Alchemy Council of Orb Province has agreed to and is focusing on! "

The corners of Jennifer's mouth turned up with a sarcastic look on her face. Why she was accepting refugees was because the mining area was short of manpower and the Alchemy Council was preparing to develop a second wilderness mine west of the Ruhr Mining Area.

"Witch Hunter, I don't have any items related to the furnace. Before the furnace turned black, I admitted that we were friends, but after he turned black, I severed all contact with him, and it is impossible to leave any of his items. The late Speaker Abel also asked for what you are asking for now, and my answer is the same. I don’t have anything related to the furnace.”

"What about the witchcraft on your body? How do you explain it?"

Jennifer does have a few of Rudolph's witchcraft on her, but it's nothing to worry about. The reason why witchcraft is popular among the apostles is that the witchcraft does not choose its owner. Once used by others, the power of the apostle will quickly erase the mark of the original owner. Unless it is not used once, it is impossible to use the witchcraft to trace the maker.

Jennifer generously handed over the level 3 wolf blade dagger and looked at Yevgeny quietly.

Yevgeny lowered his head and played with the dagger. There were many traces of use on this dagger, which meant that Jennifer had used it many times and it was difficult to trace the traces of the wizard through star power.

"Jennifer Baron, I know you are single, have you ever considered finding a husband?"

Jennifer didn't know why the witch hunter in front of her suddenly talked about her marriage, and she didn't want to talk about these things to a stranger.

"Oh, I'm very sorry. If you find a husband, you will need to change your surname. Your baronetcy and your land will be shared with your husband. I think this is what every noble does not want to see. Then "..." Yevgeny stared at Jennifer and said:

"So, have you ever thought about adopting an adopted son, or finding a way to give birth to an heir who can inherit your title and land?"

"No comment."

Yevgeny didn't take it seriously either. He continued: "I know that these things are very secretive for nobles. I have a lot of information about Leman Town, and in that information, you have a lot to do with the furnace.

What I want to ask is, you are now 22 years old. Do you have a secret heir who will inherit the furnace and your bloodline? "

Jennifer narrowed her eyes, and she understood that the witch hunter Yevgeny wanted to find Rudolph's biological credentials so as to divine Rudolph's location.

"Since you have a lot of information about the furnace, you will not know that the furnace is a Scorpio wizard. It is so easy for a Scorpio wizard to poison his own isolated cells. As long as he is not willing, no one can give birth to him. What are you expecting, kid?"

When asked about such a private matter, even though the witch hunter opposite was the deputy director of the Judgment Hall, a level 5 apostle, or a legendary level 5 speech spirit that was very rare, Jennifer could no longer contain her anger.

She continued: "Since the night of the sacrifice, there has been no contact between me and the furnace. You can go back and collect materials to frame me, and I will not back down."

Rudolph stayed away from Jennifer, which was also a kind of protection for Jennifer.

Seeing the baron's angry eyes, Yevgeny didn't care at all. He was just a little baron and couldn't make any waves.

At this moment, a dazzling light illuminated the study window.

The sudden flash of light made half of Fabro City seem to have entered daytime for a moment, and Yevgeny hurried to the window.

That is the direction of Parliament! There was a violent explosion in the parliament!

"Level 5 Word Spirit, why didn't you divine the attack on the Parliament tonight? Your divination ability is not good either."

Yevgeny's face was ashen. He didn't predict tonight's attack at all. This was his dereliction of duty. At the same time, it also proved one thing: there is a level 5 speech spirit in the Melting Pot criminal gang!

He performs a divination on himself every night to see if he will be attacked by the furnace.

The divination results were very vague. Three planets did not appear on the divination chart, which proved that the enemy also had speech spirits, which interfered with his divination.

Yevgeny turned his head, glanced at Jennifer, and left in a hurry, leaving Yevgeny's threat in the air.

"Baron, you'd better not let us catch you. Even Earl Barron won't be able to save you if he knows you have any connection with the furnace."

Seeing the study door being slammed shut, Jennifer silently added in her heart that Earl Barron would not come to save her, but Rudolph would.

The public locomotive that was supposed to be out of service was waiting for Yevgeny on the avenue. This is a privilege that only the Speaker of Fabro City can enjoy, and of course the Deputy Director of the Judgment Hall can also enjoy it.

The locomotive carried Yevgeny and his men quickly toward the parliament. It was already night, and there was only one Yevgeny locomotive on the track, which allowed the locomotive to reach its fastest speed.

Yevgeny looked in the direction of the parliament, his heart full of irritation, wondering what big battle the furnace could produce tonight.
