The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

In Inser believes that if Maginus has indeed infiltrated, these two are the most likely candidates, with the other three being backup options.

She had no intention of telling the joint team the possible options she had selected; Inser's purpose was contrary to everyone's from the beginning.

They wanted to kill Maginos, but Inser wanted her alive.

With a light clap of her hands, several shadow dancers appeared beside her, and Inser handed the portrait to them:

"Go and keep an eye on them. Don't get too close or follow them too closely. Prioritize not being discovered and ensuring your own survival. The four of you will split into two teams to keep watch on Ilsis and Flamfa."

"Yes."

As the task was assigned, the blonde girl looked up at the night sky, unconsciously grinding her teeth, clenching her fists, and whispering the name of Maginus.

There are many people watching me.

The next morning, Maginus stepped out of the house and, without even activating his life senses, intuitively discovered a large group of people secretly observing him.

She showed no sign of anything amiss, resisting the urge to spread her life force, and walked straight out to the hotel she had visited the day before.

The inn was already full of people. Maginus sat in a corner and showed no intention of talking to anyone else. That's just how people with her special abilities are; there's nothing to discuss if you really want to go in and talk. She's definitely not as good as a proper detective like Mani.

Once they find clues about Maginus, that will be the time for all the special ability users to show their skills.

Soon, those skilled in tracking, reasoning, and finding clues were mobilized to run all over the city, leaving only a handful of people with special abilities in the inn.

With nothing to do, they sat idly at the table, and Maginus was the same, his eyes unfocused and drifting as if in a daze, but in reality, he was controlling his alternate identity to eat his "dinner."

My days and nights are reversed; I leave late and return early. After eating, it's time to sleep. Then I draw the curtains and bed curtains, and it's completely dark before I lie down.

"Hey, Miss Ilsis, would you like a game of chess?"

The voice came from beside her ear, and she snapped back to reality and looked up. A very beautiful, mature woman was standing with her hands on her chest, holding a black and white chessboard in her palms.

Maginus knew her, Flamfa, a low-level divination mage. Unlike ordinary divination mages, she possessed innate divination abilities.

She doesn't look forward, but backward. She can see past events at the crime scene, within a period of no more than five days. It is estimated that she has some special bloodline and is born with this special magic-like ability.

"it is good."

Without refusing Flemfa's invitation, Maginus raised his hand and patted the table, gesturing for her to put down the chess pieces and board.

The prophetic mage with light blue hair put down the chessboard and the scattered chess pieces, snapped his fingers to summon the Mage's Hand, and had the Mage's Hand arrange the chess pieces.

"So why did you come to find me?"

As the girl played chess, she asked, and Franfa didn't hide anything: "Do you feel like we're being stared at a lot?"

"Yes, I guess the people who called us here are afraid that we are Maginus, so they are keeping a close watch on us."

Seeing that she had no objections or thoughts of resistance, Frenfa couldn't help but lean her weight on the table: "Judging from your tone, it seems that you already knew this would happen, and you're not planning to protest?"

“What are we doing now?” Maginus asked in return.

"Playing chess."

"As long as you sit here playing chess and are watched by many people, you get paid. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Maginus clearly stated her thoughts, which surprised Frenfa, who was annoyed by the surveillance and wanted to find someone to protest against this spying with her.

That makes a lot of sense; not everyone gets to experience something like that.

Picking up a chess piece and taking a step forward, the prophet pondered, "Hmm, that makes a lot of sense, and they don't seem to be coming into my house."

"Just take things as they come. There's no danger anyway. Even if we find clues about Maginus, we won't be on the front lines. Your ability is to see the past five days, right?"

“Yes.” Franfa nodded.

"She hasn't shown up for so long. Even if we find traces left by the God of Slaughter in the past, it still won't be of much use to you and me unless we can find recent traces."

"That's so well said. It makes me feel much better right now. Who wouldn't like making money while lying down?"

Maginus's words immediately dissuaded Fran from protesting. If she were thrown out after a failed protest, where would she find a job where she could do whatever she wanted?

Tomorrow, we'll bring more than just chess; we'll bring a lot more toys. That's decided.

Frenfa nodded slightly. The sound of Maginus placing a piece brought her back to her senses. The two were engrossed in the game of chess, exchanging basic information about each other.

……

"Hmm~."

"I lost."

The divination mage gazed at the chessboard with satisfaction. Maginus simply put down his piece and conceded defeat. He was no match for the divination mage in terms of calculation ability; their intelligence was entirely devoted to deduction and calculation.

Not to mention someone like Flamfa, who is born with magical abilities, must have a special way of calculating.

The most important thing in chess is calculation, so it would be strange if Maginus could beat the Prophet.

Just as they finished one game and were about to start the next, Franfa suddenly stopped, took out a square plate, fiddled with it for a few moments, quickly arranged the chessboard and pieces, and gestured for Maginus to look out the window.

"They're coming back; they didn't find anything useful today."

She predicted today's outcome, or rather, she predicted what would happen in a few minutes.

As Franfa had expected, local and non-local adventurers returned one after another, their faces showing neither anxiety nor joy, clearly indicating that they had not found anything.

However, several people from out of town returned with injuries. Upon seeing this, the person in charge frowned and stepped forward to ask what had happened.

It turned out they had clashed with local soldiers, apparently because a murder had occurred near the aristocratic district, and they happened to be there.

When this group of outsiders went to investigate, the local soldiers mistakenly thought they were involved in the case, leading to a standoff.

Fortunately, in the end he only suffered minor injuries and it did not have a major impact.

Chapter 335 Breakthrough

Is this a show of force from Red Sparrow?

Many people thought so, after all, it was just about tracking down "a mid-level" person. Even if it was the Slaughter God Child, Red Sparrow City didn't think that Red Sparrow City would be her first target.

From the time Maginus left Lake Crystal City until her first appearance at the ruins, she never made any significant impact in Red Sparrow City.

On the contrary, the joint team searching for Maginus, after arriving in Cardinal City, just swaggered around and went wherever they wanted.

Therefore, they will definitely be targeted; it's only a matter of time.

Upon learning of this, the person in charge also realized this, raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and turned to communicate with his superior.

The news quickly spread, and the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, telling everyone not to worry, it was really just a misunderstanding. At the same time, their special identification documents were being processed.

After that, as long as you carry special identification, you generally don't need to worry about conflicts unless there are unexpected circumstances.

To ensure no one acted recklessly, the person in charge raised a finger to remind everyone, especially those outside Red Sparrow City:

"Fellow adventurers from outside the area, we are now in Red Sparrow City. There are many high-ranking and legendary figures here, similar to or even stronger than the capitals of many great nations. This is not a place where you can act recklessly."

"So never go looking for trouble, and always be cautious, understand?"

Once everyone agreed, the team, having found no clues all day, disbanded on the spot. Maginus got up and walked outside, and all eyes fell on her again.

As long as they don't make a move, Maginus won't care. If they do try to test her, she will naturally guarantee that she will never use psionic powers unless absolutely necessary.

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Maginus, Flamfa, and a group of special ability users have not gone out for a single day. Some of them are so bored that they even feel embarrassed.

They don't have to do any work, but they still get paid. Unlike others who have to go out and run errands, they can just sit in the hotel.

For more than ten days, no one has found any clues related to Maginos, not even a trace. Of course, this is only on the surface. As for whether some people have discovered anything behind the scenes, that is another matter.

But Maginus knew very well that there were not many remnants of her battle in Red Sparrow City; everyone who saw her use her psionic powers was dead, oh, except for the group of succubi.

And since she and they were accomplices, Laura wouldn't betray her without significant personal gain. Besides, if she did betray her, Maginus could also expose that they were succubi.

In short, the result is that unless this group uses special methods, they will not be able to find a trace of her.

In a secluded room, Inser and a few others reunited to share recent intelligence.

The leader of the detective team glanced at the intelligence they possessed, sighed helplessly, and realized that this trip had been a waste of time.

"Through the investigation and testing over the past few days, we can basically confirm that Maginus did not appear in Cardinal City, and even if she did, she did not leave any trace."

"She didn't try to ambush anyone who was alone. If this were in Red Sparrow City, she would be far too cautious. She doesn't seem like the crazed killing god at all."

"The only clue we can find is the period when the Bloodstained Society attacked Holly Manor. It is highly likely that she killed members of the Bloodstained Society during the chaos at that time."

Are we just going to turn around and go home like this?

A nobleman of mid-level strength was very dissatisfied. He had taken on this mission in order to kill Maginus and gain great merit so that he could be better appreciated later.

"There's one more place we haven't checked, but the battle there was too intense, it's hard to say what clues were left, and prophetic spells haven't worked on her yet..."

The person in charge couldn't help but shake his head, while the others remained silent, knowing what place he was referring to—the ruins of the legendary mage.

The chances of leaving any clues are extremely slim. Just kidding, a great battle between high-ranking and legendary figures shattered the land, and the magic is still in a state of chaos.

Instead of trying to find clues in that kind of environment, it would be better to try to contact the Holly family and ask them if they could get into the Holly mansion.

"I do have a few useful pieces of information, but I'm not sure if they're true."

Just as everyone was about to leave empty-handed and head back home, another person responsible for collecting information on the locals raised his hand and gave a mysterious smile:

"Everyone, take a look at this information. It's about Ilsis and Flamfa."

Inser, who had been silent, trembled slightly as his gaze shifted to the documents in the speaker's hand, the information of which was soon released.

“Ilsis appeared in Red Sparrow City more than a year ago, which is very close to the time when Maginus left Lake Crystal City and started his journey.”

The person who gathered information spoke candidly: "The first thing I did upon arriving here was to rent the haunted house and successfully deal with the spirits that were bound to it. After that, I offended the homeowner, a wealthy businessman."

"After that, she also got into trouble with the Bloodstained Society because of the death of the young master of the Lauta family. Strangely, the Bloodstained Society hadn't dealt with her by the time the ruins were discovered, and now it's all over."

"More importantly, she took on detective missions frequently shortly after Maginus appeared at the ruins."

Looking at the information above, everyone realized that he believed there was a high probability that Ilsis was "Magnus".

"But this is Red Sparrow City. A powerful adventurer who suddenly appears is nothing to worry about."

Some countered that there are at least five or ten people like Maginus in Redbird City every year, so it's not very convincing and it might just be a coincidence.

As for frequently accepting tasks, that's nonsense. She was invited by others to do those things; she couldn't possibly control others.

The information gatherer didn't argue, and was well aware of his lack of intelligence, so he turned to another person:

"Then let's talk about Franfa. This prophetic mage's ability to look back into the past is far more than just five days."

"According to the intelligence I have obtained, five years ago someone stole a precious treasure from a noble family, and they didn't discover it until a year later when they opened the treasury."

"For this, they went to great lengths to ask Franfa for help, including not only money, but also scrolls containing precious spells, letters to a high-ranking mage, and so on."

Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been piqued, he smiled smugly: "In the end, she traced back to the time period when the treasure vault was stolen and saw the face of that high-ranking thief."

Everyone present narrowed their eyes upon hearing this, and suddenly someone raised their hand: "I have some connection with the Holly family, I can talk to them and ask them to let us in."

Inser also raised his hand, his face indifferent: "I can offer her the opportunity to consult with a high-ranking mage."

Chapter 336: How to Survive?

"Hmph hmph hmph~... See you tomorrow, Miss Ilsis."

Another boring day came to an end. Flemish waved goodbye to Maginus and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

Is it just my imagination? Why does it feel like there are more people around?

The two who left thought almost simultaneously that as the distance increased, Franfa, on her way home, suddenly stopped and glanced sideways at the corner. The person who came out surprised her slightly.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

Franfa bowed respectfully. Before her stood a mid-level mage from the allied forces, whom she had met a few times before.

“Ms. Franfa, our joint team needs your help. Please come over and we can talk.”

The sorcerer smiled and extended his hand, but the woman, skilled in prophecy, immediately felt alarmed, sensing danger awaiting her.

But she couldn't leave directly, so she could only put on a fake smile and go through the back door with the monk to re-enter the hotel and quietly go up to the second floor, a place that almost no one would go to.

When the monk pushed open the door, Fulianfa saw the slight twitching at the corners of the lips of the gentleman and lady inside, realizing that her ability to trace back to the distant past had been exposed.

This is troublesome. I don't want to get involved with the Killing God Child!

With a sigh of despair, Furenfa feigned surprise and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, gentlemen. I am Furenfa."

"Don't be so polite," Inser said in a slightly hurried tone. "You can go back to five years ago, right?"

"Uh, no..."

Franfa tried to struggle a bit more, but the mid-level mage handed her a note: "This is our reward. I think you'll be very interested."

She glanced at the reward written on the note, her eyebrows unconsciously raised, and her breathing became somewhat heavy.
