In the photo, the detective lady and a handsome and tough man with silver-gray hair are standing on either side. Between them, a little girl with silver electric curlers is standing pretty, holding a teddy bear in her arms.

The detective's name is Hull Rowling. Her husband is a magician in the medical industry, and her daughter is currently studying at the Akanix School of Transmutation.

This family's resume is better than more than 90% of the civilians in Aundair. If things go as expected, when their daughter graduates, the family will be able to directly enter the upper class.

But as a private investigator, Ms. Hull feels a little dangerous about her current situation.

"I heard that many of the Kingdom's Eye spies are proficient in prophecy magic. If I don't report the truth..."

Thinking that she might be entangled by the emerald claws, Ms. Hull gritted her teeth, took out a piece of letter paper from the desk and started writing.

Soon, she wrote down everything about her previous encounter with the scribbled man and her own reasoning on the letter paper.

"Zaik! Husband!"

After shouting twice outside the study, a man with short silver-gray hair appeared in front of the door.

"What's the matter, my dear wife?"

When she saw her husband, a look of happiness flashed across Ms. Hull's face.

The two were in a free love relationship, and Hull was very satisfied with her husband.

Then, she told all her previous experiences like pouring beans.

"What do you think?"

Finally, Hull also sought the opinion of her husband.

"You are right to report it."

After first affirming his wife's idea, Zayk continued:

"Being associated with the Emerald Claw is not a good thing no matter how you think about it, but I think it's best to cover up the way we report it. Who can guarantee that the members of the Emerald Claw haven't gone undercover in the officialdom?"

After her husband's reminder, Hull also reacted.

"Then I'll write a new report letter. This one just needs to clearly state that the other party submitted the commission to our detective agency. Besides, I can't not go there these two days. It would be terrible if the people from Emerald Claw suspected that we were the ones who reported the secret."

The happier and more fulfilling a person's life is, the more he needs to consider when encountering similar things.

Because you care about too many people, but the other person cares too few.

"Should we write a letter to Nia? What if the people from the Emerald Claw really attack us..."

Mrs. Hull could not help but feel sad when she thought that her poor daughter might return home and that she and her husband might have been murdered.

"Don't let your imagination run wild! Things haven't gotten to that point yet. Write a report first!"

Under the light, the couple pondered over the wording and began to write the letter.

"Bang!"

One afternoon after Ms. Hull sent the letter of complaint, the mansion suspected of hiding members of the Emerald Claw was suddenly attacked.

A dozen agents wearing Kingdom Eye combat uniforms broke into the building and engaged in battle with the Emerald Claw members hiding inside.

Hiding in her detective agency, Ms. Hull listened to the sounds of explosions and fighting and felt relieved.

According to the current situation, she shouldn't have to worry about the Emerald Claw's revenge.

Because there is no indication that she was the one who informed on the matter.

"Red! Any findings?"

Inside the mansion, Cass, who were members of this operation, and her fellow warrior Hong were checking the rooms one after another.

After being resurrected, Warforged Red also joined the Eye of the Kingdom.

Cass and Red originally thought that Queen Andel would put Red under house arrest somewhere, but it turned out that the queen did not do that.

"The room has obvious signs of renovation. There should be another set of tunnels inside this mansion specifically for evacuation. Go this way!"

He touched the base of a desk lamp, and the wall next to it suddenly cracked in the middle, revealing a secret passage.

Hong took the lead and walked into the secret passage, without considering the possibility that the enemy was ambushing inside.

Since its resurrection, it has become less and less concerned about this danger.

The deep dark passages are interconnected and without sufficient memory, it is possible to get lost in them.

"Be careful!"

Always alert to her surroundings, Cass held a revolver in one hand and warned her companions.

Judging from the marks etched on the buttstocks, these two guns were made in Carl’s family’s weapons workshop.

"It's very safe at the moment. I think those guys are very likely to have..."

As he was telling Cass his speculation, suddenly, a scimitar flew out from the darkness.

"Bang!"

With her quick eyes and hands, Cass shot down the flying scimitar and saved Hong who was almost cut.

At the same time, several figures emerged from the darkness.

"Damn it! There's an ambush!"

“Bang, bang, bang…”

By pulling the trigger continuously, Cass tried to suppress the enemy's firepower by relying on the continuous firing advantage of the new musket.

However, the opposite side was lit up with magical light one after another, and the bullets fired by Cass were either deflected by the protective force field or blocked.

"Not good! The enemy has advanced protective equipment! Retreat!"

Realizing that the two of them were no match for the opponent, Cass immediately pulled Hong and ran towards the entrance of the secret passage.

Fortunately, the two did not go too deep and ran out of the secret passage before the enemy caught up with them.

At this point, the rest of the Kingdom's Eye agents had already finished their respective battles and captured the remaining Emerald Claw members outside.

Cass and Hong stumbled out of the secret passage and immediately shouted for help.

"There is a secret passage here! Their people are lying in ambush in the secret passage."

As if they knew their intentions had been seen through, the secret doors in the mansion opened one after another, and more members of the Emerald Claw ran out from the secret passages, attacking the spies with murderous eyes.

"The commander said we will have a big harvest today, but isn't this a little too big? Where is the support? We need support here!"

As he spoke, the spy dropped a smoke bomb and quickly ran to the hall to reunite with his companions.

In the corridor, several spies who were closer to the windows fired flares directly into the air.

Seeing that the enemy's support may arrive at any time, the members of Emerald Claw started fighting again.

Several meters underground, the priests of the Blood of Wall were fleeing under the leadership of the sloppy man.

The public identities of the two of them cannot be related to the Emerald Claw, otherwise the Blood of Vol, which has already lost its status as the state religion of Karrnath, will be labeled a cult because of its relationship with the Emerald Claw.

On an international level, the Blood of Vol resists the Emerald Claw, which is why the Blood of Vol still maintains many churches in Karrnath.

Walking in the stinking sewers, the priest of Blood of Wall did not feel any discomfort at all.

His contact with the undead had made him accustomed to smells that were even stinkier than sewers, so this little stench was nothing to him.

With the sound of "pattering" footsteps, the two men came to a corner of the sewer.

The sloppy man pulled a key from around his neck and prepared to insert it into a secret lock.

At this moment, another pair of footsteps sounded in the empty sewer.

No matter whether the visitor came by accident or was a pursuit, they could not let the other party leave alive.

No! Death alone was not enough. The two of them had to turn him into an undead creature and kill him again. Only in this way could they prevent the Eye of the Kingdom from using resurrection magic to revive him.

After looking at each other, the sloppy man and the pastor took out their own food.

The blood-red divine power brewed in the priest's palm, while the scribbled man put on the mask of an Emerald Claw member and drew a scimitar from his waist.

"Don't resist. We have confirmed your identities. Even if you kill me here, the news will be sent to Her Majesty the Queen."

Walking on the slippery stone slabs, an agent from the Kingdom's Eye stepped out from the shadows.

Like the spies on the ground, he was wearing a sturdy, beautiful and practical combat uniform, except that he had a cape on his shoulders.

Without responding to the spy captain's words, the priest and the scribbled man launched their attacks at the same time.

Even if the truth was really as the spy said, there was no way the two would give up resistance.

Having evidence and not having evidence are two different things.

If the two could escape, they might be able to join forces with the Silver Flame Church and exaggerate this incident as Andel's suppression of religious forces.

As a theocratic nation, Thrane is too sensitive to this.

They are so sensitive that they will mobilize their believers to march and protest at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Humph! You are so stubborn!"

Lifting his shawl, the spy flicked his sleeves and several darts flew out.

However, the target of these darts was not the priest and the scribbled man, but the surrounding walls.

When the dart was firmly embedded in the wall, the spy quickly chanted a spell, and then the whole person split into four.

"What!"

After a few seconds of panic, the priest and the sloppy man immediately found an illusion and killed it.

It's no secret that the Eye of the Kingdom is primarily made up of Arcane Knights and Tricksters.

The trickster is a profession that excels in illusion and enchantment spells.

“Clang!”

Before the priest could make any movement, the sloppy man actually felt the recoil from the collision of weapons.

Realizing that the figure in front of him was the enemy, a cruel look flashed in his eyes, and then he swung his sword with all his might.

Thick white smoke came out of the musket with flames, and bullets were fired at the two men face to face.

"Success!"

Just as the sloppy man was feeling ecstatic, the spy twisted his body and then disappeared.

"This! This is impossible!"

The sloppy man cried out in surprise, feeling the absurdity of the scene that had just happened.

But in just a blink of an eye, he instantly realized that something was wrong.

At this moment, he was maintaining a defensive posture before taking action, with the musket still lying safely in his arms.

"When did you get the illusion that I was using the Mirror Image Technique? Huh?"

A low murmur sounded in the sloppy man's ears, and the next second, his vision began to spin rapidly.

In the corner of his sight, his boss was engaging in a battle of wits and courage with the air.

"Pah"

The sloppy-handed man's head fell on the stone slab of the sewer, and the spy's short silver-gray hair was reflected in his gradually dimming eyeballs.

Putting away the magic device used to imprison the enemy's soul, the spy captain looked at the priest who was still fighting the "enemy" and whispered to himself:

"The combination of Enemies Surrounded and Phantom Power is still so effective."

After saying this, he pulled two revolvers from his belt and fired at the priest in the distance.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Two shots to the shoulder and two shots to the knee, the spy captain did his best to prevent the priest from casting spells.

The priest who was hit by the attack finally woke up from the illusion, but before he could do anything, the captain of the spies came close to him and used the sleep spell to make him fall asleep.

"Traitors... of Karrnath..."

Before he fell into coma, the priest saw the other person's silver-gray hair, which is the representative hair color of the Karrnath people.

Looking at the other person with cold eyes, the spy leaned over and whispered to himself: "Traitor? I just want to live a good life with my family."

After quickly checking the priest's belongings, the spy captain picked up the priest and the scraggly man's head and left.

He didn't dare to open the door with the secret lock rashly. Some people would place other mechanisms behind the secret lock. He had to wait for professionals to come.

…

"Hey! Ha!"

In the demiplane maze, Carl controlled V to smack a wild beast away.

Nia in the back used the magic earth shaping technique to transform the stone where the beast landed into a stone cone.

Using similar methods, Carl and Nia have cleared out quite a few beasts.

"There are only two and a half planes left to deal with. This period of time has been really painful!"

Walking forward, Carl used V's mechanical arm to skin the beast, and then processed it skillfully.

Nia used water manipulation to clean up the blood, and then controlled the soil to bury the miscellaneous things.

After doing all this, the two quickly left the battle scene, leaving the monsters hidden around to fight for the leftovers.

A week has passed since the two entered the demiplane maze.

During this period, Carl used the dream world as a plug-in to greatly increase the speed of his soul recovery.

Three days ago, the exhaustion of his soul had completely disappeared.

However, the effect of this training method was not as significant as Carl thought, and his actual intelligence attribute was still 14 points.

After stuffing the animal skins, bones and flesh into a special dimensional bag, the two rode V again to the next mechanism house.

In the blue sky, the eternal sun shines on the earth.

The roaring locomotive passed through the lush woodland, and the breeze made the leaves rustle.

The further we go, the sparser the forest becomes, and through the gaps between the trees, we can see the coast in the distance.

Finally, as the two drove out of the forest, white sand and turquoise water appeared on their right.

This half plane seemed to be modeled after an island. The wizard who created it filled half of the plane with sea water and also captured many sea animals.

However, after completing these thankless tasks, he left the demiplane to the Council to deal with and never managed it again.

Perhaps to those high-level mages, this demiplane is like an ecological fish tank.
