The southern part of the giant island of Weilan, the harbor area of ​​Dawn City.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Hoist the sails~~ Heave the anchor~~"

“Oysters~Fresh oysters~~”

"Please have mercy on me and give me a small piece of black bread. I haven't eaten for two days~"

"Sir, do you want to fuck me?"

As the largest port on the giant island, the harbor area is extremely prosperous, and commerce, especially the service industry, is extremely developed.

Warehouses, banks, hotels, brothels, restaurants, etc., fill the harbor area.

“But even so, it is difficult for the port to fully meet the needs of travelers.”

"Especially the young guys who just got off the boat, they want to fill every hole they see on the road."

On the seaside avenue, Security Captain Sedro said this to the man next to him.

The man was about thirty years old, with a sinister look and an alert expression. He was dressed in black and held a dark silver cane inlaid with white crystals.

Like a black hound ready to pounce.

He looked at a merchant ship that had just unloaded its cargo not far away and saw the sailors rushing towards the nearest brothel like donkeys in heat.

"Captain Sedro, I know everything you said."

"I also know that somewhere in the harbor area, there is a poor and crazy wizard who has completely forgotten the teachings of Mother Nature and is using evil methods to satisfy the desires of the sailors."

"As the executive mage of the Moral Supervision Office of the Saint Veran Grand Temple, I need the specific location of this evil brothel."

The security captain showed a hint of hesitation on his face and subconsciously licked his dry lips.

"Mr. Lucius, I want to say that there is no such evil brothel. Every brothel in the harbor area is operating legally."

"snort!"

Lucius pointed to the Mithril emblem on his left chest.

"Captain Sedro, I think you should recognize this."

"I am not only an inspection mage, but also an intermediate 11-star combat mage!"

"Don't treat me like a child. Even if you don't tell me, I can find out eventually."

"But if I find out about it myself, then everyone involved will be punished!"

The black-robed wizard spoke with a cold tone, like a poisonous sea snake about to attack.

The security captain trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure and nodded dejectedly.

"Well, there is one brothel that is unusual."

Lucius nodded with satisfaction, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Tell me more about it."

"The girls in their family are all very beautiful, even comparable to Princess Serai. Oh no no no, I said the wrong thing, damn me!"

The captain of security slapped himself hard, making a crisp sound, and then continued speaking.

"Youth, health, and beauty are all top-notch products. The price is also very cheap. For only one kroner, you can play with a whole candle."

"Hmm~"

Lucius narrowed his eyes. "This is 80% cheaper than the normal price. It's disrupting the market! Don't other brothel owners object?"

The captain of the security force looked at the gloomy black-robed wizard in confusion and muttered, "Why don't you object? Aren't you the one they invited?"

Lucius heard it clearly and frowned: "Captain, you are slandering me! I am just performing my duties!"

The captain of the security team said quickly: "I apologize to you, sir."

Lucius didn't insist, he raised his cane and pointed forward: "Come on, take me to this brothel."

"Yes, sir."

The security captain was very cooperative: "Brothers, follow me."

The captain led his team of men along the seaside avenue, but at an angle that the black-robed wizard could not see, he secretly nodded at one of his men.

The subordinate understood what he meant and found an opportunity to quietly leave the team.

There was a huge flow of people on the seaside avenue, and the security captain had more than ten men under him, so this action was very covert.

But just as the team member took two steps, the voice of the black-robed wizard rang out.

"Captain Sedro, discipline your team members, or your tenure as captain will be over!"

Sedro was startled and turned around, only to see Lucius's eyes as cold as ice. He immediately knew that his intention had been discovered.

He gave a bitter smile, quickly called his men back, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Oh~ I can't fuck any pretty girls for free now."

Don’t dare to play tricks anymore, just lead the way honestly.

Soon, the group arrived at the warehouse area of ​​the harbor.

The warehouse area is full of square stone and wooden buildings that look like square boxes. The buildings here are similar in appearance and are arranged in a neat pattern, like a huge chessboard.

In a place like this, even local residents who grew up here can easily get lost, let alone outsiders.

After walking for a while, the black-robed wizard Lucius felt a slight movement in his heart.

"This fallen wizard is quite cunning. He actually opened a brothel in a place like this. I have to be careful later to prevent him from running away!"

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the group arrived near an old warehouse.

Looking from dozens of meters away, you can see that the warehouse door is closed and only a small side door is open.

Standing at the side door was a tall and thin man, wearing a hooded gray cloth cloak that covered his head and face tightly.

Every minute or two, a man would pop out from an unknown corner.

Half of them were sailors, and the other half were dock workers. Anyway, they were all ordinary people with little money in their pockets.

Lucius saw clearly that the men handed the money to the man at the door and happily went into the warehouse.

After a quarter of an hour or a few minutes, you will walk out of the warehouse feeling satisfied.

This brothel was doing quite good business. In the half hour that Lucius observed, at least twenty men went in, and more men kept coming in.

Judging from the customer throughput, there are at least thirty girls in the brothel.

He came to a preliminary conclusion.

"The fact that the brothel was built deep in an inconspicuous warehouse district and catered to lower-class customers indicates that the boss behind the scenes had a limited background and was probably a small-time person who took risks."

This way, he could check with confidence.

After observing for a while, Lucius asked, "Captain, you just said that every girl in there is very beautiful?"

"Yes, very beautiful. Each one looks like a fairy."

"Are you sure you're seeing that?"

It is normal to have one or two beautiful girls, after all, flowers can grow in a pile of cow dung, but it is unusual to have thirty or forty beautiful girls appearing all at once.

Sedro nodded very confidently: "I'm sure I'm not mistaken."

Lucius initially guessed: "That should be a magic illusion."

Sedro shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, it is definitely not an illusion!"

"Although I don't know any spells, I am a formally trained warrior. I understand the basics of magic and know how to distinguish illusions."

"I not only see with my eyes, but also touch with my body and feel with my soul. She is truly beautiful!"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my team members."

Without waiting for Lucius to ask, the team members nodded in agreement.

"The captain is absolutely right."

"Sir, our brains and knowledge are far inferior to yours, but we are not fools either."

"Maybe the owner of this brothel has some moral flaws, but he is very generous. He lets us do it for free. Ahem~~ Ahem~~~"

Lucius was full of doubts.

Because spell illusions are indeed easy to see through.

Changes in light and the mental state of the recipient may lead to the spell being broken, and physical touch is the shortcoming of spell illusions.

So, the girl inside should be a real person.

So where did they get all these beautiful girls? "Did they use Transfiguration on a group of ordinary girls?"

"That's not right. One candle costs one kroner, and the customers are all thirsty sailors and dock workers. No girl would be willing to take such dirty work unless forced."

"If it was really forced, then I have done a great thing today. I will definitely be rewarded by the temple."

Thinking of this, Lucius' heartbeat quickened slightly with excitement.

"Captain, send someone to block the back door. Remember to be gentle and don't make a big noise. I'll go to the front door to arrest them."

As he spoke, Lucius's cane suddenly lit up, and a blue light rose from the soles of his feet and covered his entire body.

After a few seconds, a layer of film similar to blue crystal appeared on the surface of his body.

Seeing that the security captain was still standing there in a daze, he urged him impatiently: "Why don't you go quickly?!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

The security captain immediately led his men to the back door of the brothel.

Lucius waited for a while, estimated that the time was about right, took a deep breath, and whispered.

"Wind!"

The cane lit up again, and his body suddenly hung half a meter high, like weightless mist, and rushed forward more than 50 meters at an extremely fast speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lucius stood at the door of the brothel, facing the gray-robed man who was responsible for collecting money at the door.

"Gudong~"

The gray-robed man behind the door collapsed to the ground and fell into a baby-like sleep.

The noise scared the customers at the door.

"Mother Nature, the wizard is killing people!"

"Guards~Where are the guards?"

"Don't be silly, the guards only protect the rich. Run!"

The customers dispersed.

Lucius ignored the chaos at the door and hurried into the warehouse.

The interior space of the warehouse is rectangular, with two rows of wooden shelves on the left and right. Sheets of primary-colored burlap are hung on the shelves, dividing the warehouse into small individual spaces.

A corridor was left in the middle, with dark red cloth curtains hanging on both sides of the corridor.

The customers behind the door were unaware of what had happened and were still immersed in the joy.

All kinds of unbearable sounds flooded into Lucius' ears like a tide, making the wizard blush and his heart beat faster.

He immediately raised his hand and quickly drew the Natural Divine Seal on his chest, muttering silently:

'Mother Nature, may you purify my soul and keep it free from the contamination of evil!'

After finishing the prayer, he calmed down a little. He used a wizard's hand to quietly open the dark red curtain door on his side.

Behind the door was a small compartment that was 4 meters long and 2 meters wide. There was a simple mat made of hay and coarse cloth on the floor, on which two people were lying.

One was a sailor, and the other... Lucius couldn't help but gasp at the mere sight of him.

"That bastard Sedro was right. She really does look like a fairy."

Such a fairy, let alone ordinary people who have never seen the world, even he can hardly control himself.

"Crash~"

He immediately lowered the curtain, raised his hand and repeatedly drew the Natural Divine Seal on his chest. He drew it more than twenty times in one breath before he could barely suppress the evil desire in his heart.

But desire will not disappear out of thin air, and desire that has nowhere to vent quickly turns into raging rage.

"This place is simply a hell of desire, an evil abyss that tempts mortals to fall. It must be purified immediately!"

He walked to the middle of the corridor and raised his cane upward like a music conductor's baton.

As he did this, all the burlap was guided by an invisible powerful force, flew into the sky together, and rolled into a ball.

"Ah~~~"

The customers, who had been absorbed in the moment, finally noticed something was wrong and quickly put on their clothes.

Lucius yelled.

"The temple inspector is enforcing the law! Everyone put on your clothes, put your hands on your head and squat against the wall!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be shot on the spot!"

No ordinary person would disobey the orders of a powerful wizard.

After a while, all the customers squatted in a row obediently.

But the strange thing was that the girls seemed to have heard nothing and continued to lie on the floor and make seductive gestures.

Lucius shouted angrily: "Are you deaf? Put on your clothes immediately!"

Still no response.

Lucius suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked carefully at one of the girls. As he looked, a look of deep surprise appeared on his face.

He suddenly raised his cane and pointed it at the girl: "Purification!"

A fist-sized white ball of light flew out and sank into the girl's body.

After a few seconds, the girl's body began to glow whitely. The light became increasingly dense, as if it were real.

In the white light, the girl's body changed rapidly, and after more than ten seconds, she turned into a sheep.

The sheep looked at Lucius, bleating and wiggling its butt at him!

Lucius was shocked.

"A global transformation spell released on non-human alien species!"

"How is this possible?"

Transfiguration is not uncommon.

Standard Transfiguration is just an ordinary spell of low strength. What is strange is that the sophistication of Transfiguration has reached an extremely astonishing level.

'The difficulty of casting the spell is probably over 20 stars!'

Lucius took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart again, walked to the second girl, and carefully examined her body details.

The more he watched, the more shocked he became.

“It’s flawless!”

Transfiguration is like molding clay. Most wizards can do it, but it is difficult to mold it well, and even more difficult to mold it with precision.

Because spell energy is difficult to control precisely, and the casting time is only a few tens of seconds.

The situation before us is equivalent to a clay sculptor who, with unsuitable tools, completes a masterpiece in less than a minute.

It's simply a miracle.

Lucius was unconvinced: "It's fine if he transformed into just one fairy, but he transformed into more than 30 fairy girls in a row, and each one has its own characteristics. How is this possible?"

If you only want to change a few, there is a trick called mirror deformation.

It is to find a real beauty, use a mirror to obtain her appearance, and then use Transfiguration to replicate her.

But this requires dual-line casting skills, and the difficulty is not much lower than simple transformation.

But the question is, where can we find so many beautiful women with unique styles and charm? 'Could it be a gang crime?'

The black-robed wizard, full of doubts, checked one after another, purifying each one after he finished checking it.

After the inspection, there were more than thirty sheep in the warehouse.

None of the people serving the customers are human.

At the same time, Lucius also came to a more shocking conclusion.

'Completely consistent casting style, most likely a single mage did it!'

On the other side, the customers were also stunned and speechless.

Security Captain Sedro also came in, and after seeing this scene, his jaw almost dropped from his face.

"Mother Nature, this. this. this."

Lucius looked gloomy: "Did you catch the brothel owner?"

It took Sedro a while to come back to his senses: "I didn't see anyone running out of the back door."

Lucius frowned: "Not good!"

He immediately turned around and ran out of the warehouse to check on the gray-robed man who collected the money, only to find that the gray-robed man was still sleeping on the ground.

He used his cane to lift up the man's hood and found that he was an ordinary middle-aged man.

He tried the purification technique again, and turned into a sheep as well.

There's no one in the entire brothel, it's full of sheep!

From beginning to end, the brothel owner was hidden behind the scenes and never really appeared.

Lucius gritted his teeth and sneered: "How cunning! I want to see how capable you are!"

He quickly ran back to the warehouse and continuously released tracking spells such as 'Wind Tracing', 'Water Divination', 'Ashes Divination', and 'Mind Guidance'.

In the end, nothing was found! This brothel owner was also proficient in anti-tracking techniques and destroyed all the magic information that could be used for tracking.

Lucius felt a sense of powerlessness and even a faint sense of awe.

This fellow mage is stronger than him, by a lot.

Not only is his magical power stronger than his, his knowledge is also more profound, and his spellcasting ability is completely overwhelming.

If he continues to investigate, his life may be in danger.

After a moment of silence, he calmed down a little, then turned to look at the security captain: "You have seen him. Forget it, it's useless even if you have seen him."

The opponent is a master of transformation, also known as the Master of a Thousand Faces. It is useless for ordinary people to watch him.

The fact is that the tracking clues have been completely cut off.

Lucius stood silently in the middle of the warehouse, reluctantly analyzing the known information, and finally came to two conclusions.

"This fallen wizard is cunning and cautious, has strong mobility, rich knowledge of magic, and powerful magic. He is a true master of transformation."

"At the same time, he is very short of money, has a great understanding of women's bodies, and may have maintained good relationships with dozens of beauties. He is likely to be a playboy who is addicted to sensual pleasures and squanders all his wealth."

These two conclusions are contradictory.

Mages are also mortals, and their energy and time are limited.

It would be impossible to achieve such amazing results in magic if you just lie on a woman's belly and enjoy yourself every day.

Lucius scratched his scalp frantically.

"Mother Nature, what kind of person is this?!"
