Mage Joan

"Very good! My child, now you have something to eat, take a good rest, and recuperate. We will start after dark."

Elder Chemodo waved his hand and sent his nephew back to rest, recuperating for the trial tonight.

After Gadela left, the elders of Qamadu no longer made a sound, squinted a pair of bulging eyes, and seemed to enter meditation.

The reeds fell silent, and only the wind blew the grass blades to make a slight rustling sound.

Joan instructed the blood mosquitoes to hide in the grass to watch the marsh toads, and then withdrew his mind.

"Joan, what are those big toads talking about?"

Pinkerton can't wait to inquire.

The police dog Karl probed his brain, and was also a curious baby.

Joan sorted out his thoughts and then translated what he had just eavesdropped to the detective.

Pinkerton listened silently, frowned, and habitually took out the pipe from the jacket pocket, but hesitated and then put it back in his pocket, lest the rising smoke would alert the marsh toad.

"Joan, judging from the conversation of the Marsh Toad, the crime cycle we discovered before is not a coincidence."

"Including Harel Lancashire, the three victims before and after, most likely all died in the hands of the marsh toad, and they were regarded as the so-called "trial opponents."

"I also tend to think that the Marsh Toad should be responsible for this series of serial murders."

Joan's tone was low and his face dignified.

"But what I am more concerned about is an accidental detail mentioned by Elder Chemodo."

The detective will smile with his heart: "You mean, the'human friend' who helped them arrange trial sites and prey?"

Joan nodded gently.

"The site of the marsh toads, the wetland that is two hundred miles away, enters the estuary of the sea. They lack understanding of the situation around the hot spring town. After dark, they want to find a human who just happened to be a single prey on the edge of the wetland. It is impossible!"

"If they want to achieve this goal, they must maintain close cooperation with the locals."

"I'm curious, who is behind the collusion of the marsh toad's brutal compatriots?"

"What exactly did he want to achieve when he committed such a heartbroken crime?"

Joanne's question put Pinkerton into a long period of contemplation.

It took a long time before he spoke to break the silence.

"These doubts can only be answered when the truth of the case is known."

"Before that, we had another tricky trouble, how to deal with the group of marsh toads who were about to rush to the next murder spot."

"Mr. Pinkerton, I don't hide it. I'm sure to deal with the swarms of marsh toads and their giant toad servants."

Life is a matter of life, and Joan can't care about humility.

"As long as you say a word, we can always do it!"

"Don't be impatient, Joanne, I totally believe that you have that strength, but now is not a good time to do it."

The detective tapped the young mage's shoulder.

"If we do it now, we can destroy the marsh toad's trial plan and save a potential victim, but this clue is also broken."

"Even if we seize Gemodo or Gedra, and force the black hand behind the scene from their mouth, after all, it is just a one-sided word, lack of material evidence, people can not deny it, we can't take him."

Mr. Detective spread his hands and shrugged.

"Mr. Pinkerton, I can understand your concerns, but how can we get the hands behind the scenes?"

Joan asked urgently.

"It's better to wait a moment and follow the marsh toad to the trial site. If not unexpected, their "human friend" will kidnap the victim to the trial site tonight."

"When this person is connected to the marsh toad, we will take another shot and catch him, and everyone will be stolen, and the other party will not be able to deny it."

Joan listened to Pinkerton's plan and felt that it was more secure, and nodded in agreement.

Two people and one dog, waiting for a while in the water and grass, the night gradually sagged, and the sky became dark.

Joan's left hand twitched slightly and turned his head to Pinkerton: "The Marsh Toad has begun to act!"

"Very good! Let your mosquito agents stare at them, and we will follow!"

The detective stood up and was full of energy.

Through the eyes of the blood mosquito, Joan saw twelve marsh toads, including Elder Moto, riding on giant toads and leaving the reeds one after another.

He instructed the blood mosquito to trail behind, and also noticed that the giant toad jumped ten yards in a swamp, and it was as fast as a horse running on the ground.

He can't keep up with these jumping giant toads by his legs alone.

After thinking about it, Jo Anluo decisively summoned two "Phantom Horses", and each of them mounted a horse.

The phantom horse shaped by magic, like smoke and fog, has no entity, walks on the water and does not panic, quietly, and fast enough to catch up with the giant toad.

The two rode on the Phantom Colt and took the police dog Karl. Under the cover of night, they followed the marsh toad and headed towards the east Mercedes-Benz where the hot spring town is located.

...

As the night grew darker, a thin crescent crescent hung in the sky, and the moonlight tried to penetrate the night and covered with water vapor, bringing a little light to the vast wetland overgrown with water and grass.

In the dim moonlight, a group of giant toads carried their masters, stepping on the ground with their strong hind limbs, and their broad webbed feet were supported in the muddy water. Ten yards away, a large mud splashed on the floor.

The giant toad and the marsh toad riding on his back were all focused on hurrying, not paying attention to a small blood-colored mosquito not far behind him.

Joan split a heart, attached to the "blood mosquito" changed from his own finger, and stared at the marsh toad with the eyes of the blood mosquito.

At the same time, he and Corton each ride a "Phantom Colt", and the police dog Karl immediately behind the "Phantom Colt", hangs not far behind the giant toad queue, keeping a distance of about 300 yards .

Joan and Kirton have already blessed dark vision in advance. At this distance, with the help of a telescope, the blurred backs of giant toads and marsh toads can be clearly seen.

Conversely, even if the tracked person looks back, it is almost impossible to notice that someone is trailing behind him under the triple shield of night, water plants and water mist.

The protruding eye structures of giant toads and marsh toads are a bit like insects' compound eyes, and their dynamic vision is very developed.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The special eye structure of caudate creatures makes them almost all natural "myopia". It is impossible to see objects beyond a hundred feet, and it is even less likely to find trackers thousands of feet away. .

The two sides hurried at full speed in the vast wetland, and came to the edge of the wetland in less than an hour. Through the water mist escaping through the hot springs, the high and low buildings of the town in the distance were vaguely visible.
