Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 13 Clues

Shortly afterward, Ham led the group out of the banquet hall, waved for the others to leave, and walked alone to a carriage.

"What's going on?" Diana from the patrol office lifted the carriage curtain, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face:

"Didn't you bring anyone out?"

"I ran into Baron Karl." Ham lowered his head.

"With the baron vouching for him, and given that he wasn't a strong suspect to begin with, I didn't insist on taking him away. I just found a place inside and asked him a few questions."

"Karl?"

Diana looked puzzled.

"One of the Baron's friends was accepted into the Barrow Choir, and he was invited to the banquet," Ham explained.

"Um."

Diana nodded, not pressing for further questions, and instead spoke:

"Did you get any results from the questions?"

"No." Ham looked disappointed.

"The choir members didn't even know that one of their fellow members had died; the girl named Kino was already not valued in the choir."

"Hmm..." Diana touched her smooth chin:

"What did the Night's Watch say?"

"They say it wasn't done by vampires. Vampires suck blood, while the dead lose their life force." Ham's eyes flickered, and he asked curiously:

"Sir, are there really vampires?"

"I don't know either." Diana was also unsure, leaning back and sighing.

"So, we still have no leads!"

"No, not exactly."

Ham shook his head slightly:

"All the deceased were women, and all of them were virgins. The key point is... their identities were very special."

"Not born into nobility or wealthy merchant families, yet qualified to attend banquets for the upper class, such as members of a singing troupe or a master florist..."

Diana slowly sat up straight, her expression grave.

"I have my doubts," Ham continued.

"The perpetrator had a certain social status, at least frequented high-end banquets, and had a special fetish for virgins, not limited to beauty or ugliness."

One of the deceased was very ugly in life.

"good."

Diana smiled:

"Ham, you truly deserve to be called the best police officer in South City. It seems I made the right choice in selecting you for this investigation."

"Sir." Ham looked up.

"I've heard that Earl Renekton is about to host a banquet. I wonder if I'm qualified to attend."

"The banquet..." Diana frowned.

"Ham, you are very talented, but talent is not enough to attend the Earl's banquet."

One must have a certain status and position.

"Yes," Ham said.

"I just suspect the perpetrator might also be involved."

"Yeah?"

Diana hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I'll find you an invitation."

"Thank you, sir!" Ham said with a look of delight.

Diana gently shook her head.

She knew very well that Ham had always wanted to climb into the so-called upper class, but his humble origins limited his potential.

People of average appearance and humble origins, who have not practiced breathing techniques, will only ever be high-level laborers, even if they are exceptionally talented in a particular area. They will never truly be able to climb into the upper class.

Some things are either present from birth or absent from life; effort is often seen as a joke by others.

Like Carl.

Although he lacked talent and was inferior to Ham in every way, he was a nobleman.

A baron's status is more important than any amount of hard work.

"Thank you, Baron Karl."

Percy looked grateful.

If Carl hadn't spoken up, she would have already been forcibly taken away by the police, and the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Even if nothing happens, there will still be some gossip in the band.

right now,

She was only called into a room alone and asked a few questions; it won't affect her reputation.

"Of course."

Carl shook his head:

"You don't need to be so polite."

The other party's enthusiasm made him somewhat unable to contain himself.

Pesci's dress was tight-fitting and cinched at the waist, with a very daring slit in the bodice; when she bent over, two bulges were clearly visible.

Karl was tall, and his gaze couldn't avoid certain areas. The key point was that Percy made no attempt to hide, and even deliberately showed off his strengths.

This is a mature woman who understands men.

"I never imagined that Kino would die."

"yes!"

"That's terrifying. I heard they died after being drained of their blood by vampires. I wonder if it's true."

"..."

The whispers of the crowd brought Karl back to his senses. After lingering for a moment, he made an excuse to leave.

There's no point in staying any longer.

night.

Jenny, her face flushed, sat in front of the vanity mirror, her excitement still lingering.

The experience at the banquet was unlike anything she had ever had before, and the seniors, including Percy, treated her very warmly because of Carl.

They even promised her a chance to officially perform on stage soon, a treatment that newcomers would never dream of.

What I had initially thought would be a difficult apprenticeship suddenly became easy.

"Karl..."

Touching her cheek, Jenny's eyes showed shyness, and then she bit her thin lips and stood up.

At this moment, besides her underwear, she was only wearing a thin gauze nightgown, which showed off her young and energetic figure.

She slowly pushed open the door, and under the hazy moonlight shining through the window, she quietly approached Karl's door.

Taking a deep breath, as if making a major decision, Jenny raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Da da..."

"clatter!"

There was no response from inside the room.

Jenny frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and pushed the door open with all her might.

"Sizzle..."

The door was shaking.

A moment later, the secure door bolt left her with no choice but to lower her head in frustration.

"snort!"

Slightly embarrassed, Jenny stamped her foot, turned around, and went back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.

In the darkness, landlady Mary peeked through the crack in the door and saw the whole scene. She couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

There was relaxation in his eyes, but also a hint of regret.

Known daughter Moruomu.

Jenny returned home beaming with excitement, talking non-stop about the banquet with her eyes sparkling.

When Karl was mentioned, his expression became even more peculiar.

As someone who's been through it all, how could Mary not see it?

This is clearly a sign that she's fallen for someone!

However, faced with Jenny's bold move, she didn't know what to do. Should she stop her? Or should she ignore it?

Mary would be overjoyed if her daughter could marry a nobleman, but would the nobleman even be willing to marry her? Or would it just be a fling?

If you don't want to...

Having finally been accepted into the Barrow Singing Troupe, Jenny would no longer be able to perform if she got a boyfriend.

My life is probably ruined because of this!

Fortunately, Carl was fast asleep and probably didn't hear the noise outside, otherwise it would have been a real problem.

A mysterious place.

Karl, who was practicing his breathing technique, was unaware of what was happening outside. Even if he had known, he would have remained unmoved. What happened at the banquet was insignificant to him, and he would forget about it as soon as he left.

Moreover, he felt that Jenny was too young and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Percy is more like it.

"call……"

"suck!"

With each controlled breath, the medicinal power of the secret medicine seeped into his bone marrow and blood vessels, strengthening his vitality and slowly improving his physique.

"The training process for a knight's squire involves condensing a life seed. Once the life seed takes shape, the squire can be promoted to knight."

"The process of condensing the seeds of life increases vitality, and naturally improves physical constitution."

"I inquired about it today, and it seems that certain breathing techniques can indeed grant people extraordinary abilities. The Poison Wolf Breathing Technique is probably what gave me the ability to sense danger."

The repeated murders of women in the city, with their bizarre deaths, made Karl realize that Signoria was not as safe as he had imagined.

and.

Exploring the Black City also requires strength, so one must not slack off in cultivation.
