Latest website: Seeing the ID of MI6, the old man inside the door immediately showed a frightened expression. Xia De pushed him violently, causing the old man to stagger and take a step back, and he also walked into the door.

He closed the door behind him with a bang, lifted his right hand and pressed his hat, Xia De stood in the shadow of the hallway, he was much taller than the old man, and at this time he showed an oppressive temperament :

"If there is no problem, don't bother me in the attic. I will leave naturally after taking my things."

"you you......"

The old man supported his crutches with both hands, and leaned against the wall crookedly. He didn't expect the young man to barge in like this.

"There are still questions?"

"No, no, no, but you can take his stuff, and I won't refund the rent!"

He said at the top of his voice, with a terrified but persistent look.

"Rent? You think I care about that?"

Xia De deliberately smiled, then walked up the creaking stairs regardless of the old man behind him.

He is very satisfied with his acting skills.

Le Maire complained about the landlord of this house in his diary, which is a typical bully. When Le Maire came to rent the house, the old man tried to kill him, but after the crew members exposed their worse and worse character, the landlord immediately offered a relatively fair price.

Being able to be a landlord in such a relatively chaotic wharf neighborhood, the old man leaning on the wall behind him and panting heavily is not a good person. According to Le Maire's guess, the other party seems to be using the workshop in the basement to smuggle contraband from the New World to produce some shady drugs.

It's really puzzling to do such a thing at such an age, but Xia De didn't want to investigate deeply for the time being.

Judging from the diary, Le Maire, who successfully took office two years ago, just entered the second ring this spring. He didn't record in his diary the security measures he had set up for the attic, but the other party wasn't a Church Ring Warlock, nor could he be an Academy Ring Warlock, so there shouldn't be many methods available.

The door to the attic was locked, and three large locks closed the door together.

It just so happened that I got a new spell [Key of the Door] from a past adventure last night. This spell can open anything that has the concept of a "lock". The actual effect depends on the power of the lock itself and the Shade itself. Depends on strength.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and knocked on the black iron lock on the top. With the power of the spell, the lock bounced off with a click.

"Oh? That works?"

Xia De looked at his fingers, and then hit the brass-colored lock in the middle with great anticipation, and the lock automatically opened in response.

"With this ability, if I'm the kind of person who doesn't follow the right path, I'm afraid Tobesk will have an extra brilliant thief."

Xia De sighed in his heart, chatted with the smiling woman, and finally knocked the lock on the bottom bolt inserted into the floor, but this time he encountered some obstacles. He obviously felt that there was some force hindering the use of the spell, but fortunately, this obstacle was not strong, and after a slight touch, the last lock was also opened.

Picking up the rusty iron lock and inspecting it, I found that there were imperceptible nicks on the inside of the lock head. Strictly speaking, this lock is not an alchemy item, but it has been treated with runes, so that when the lock is violently opened, the lock will produce an explosion effect that will blow people's hands off.

It may work for ordinary people, but for ring warlocks, as long as they pay a little attention, they will not be fooled.

Opening the door, Xia De walked into the attic after waiting for a while without hearing any unusual noises inside.

The interior of the entire attic is transparent, and it can be regarded as a large room, which is as big as the master bedroom of two Sparrow detectives. The room is dark, with common furniture such as wardrobes, bookshelves, tables, and beds. There are some black and white printed color magazines on the table, and a pile of tax declaration documents is placed on the coffee table. Looks like a bland single men's room, nothing suspicious on the surface.

First use [Past Echo] to listen to the voice within 48 hours, and then look around after confirming that no one has been here recently:

"Can you feel the traces of the relic?"

Turning on the gas lamp, Xia De stood by the window, slightly opened the gap in the curtains with his fingers, looked out cautiously, and asked.

[There is a strong whisper element, look to the left. 】

On the left is the wardrobe, and on top of the wardrobe are some cardboard boxes. The main elements are inside the closet, so Xia De put on gloves before reaching out to open the closet door.

But as soon as he grabbed the handle of the closet, a gust of wind that seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow immediately blew in the room with the doors and windows closed. Then there were footsteps behind him, Xia De turned around, and saw a rotting corpse rushing towards him. Even if he was prepared for it, Xia De was shocked by the terrifying appearance.

"Thief!"

In the corroded open mouth, the bright red gums are clearly visible.

[Illusions. 】

"I know."

Let go of the doorknob with your palm, and the wind and the rushing corpse disappeared. After closing the doorknob, the corpse and the dark wind reappeared.

So Xia De bent down and studied it, and sure enough, he also saw the rune carefully carved on the doorknob:

"This person is really good at runes, but after all, he has just been promoted to the second ring, and his foundation is not solid."

Thinking in his heart, a ray of moonlight flew out of his hand, split the doorknob of the closet into two pieces, and then opened the closet door.

A musty smell came from inside. In the small closet, there were a few men's clothes, two cool women's clothes and a white garter hanging on the left side. I don't know if it was left by a technical worker or Le Maire has some special hobbies, but they are just ordinary clothes.

On the right side was something covered with a red cloth. Xia De stretched out his hand to remove the red cloth, but just as he stretched out his hand, he frowned and immediately took a step back.

Judging from the shape, the shape of this thing is very similar to the cloth-covered mermaid statue he once saw.

"I knew there was going to be trouble."

Xia De still doesn't know the specific method of spreading this strange curse of death, but not contacting the source of the curse is definitely the best way to resist the curse.

So regardless of whether there were other valuable things in the closet, he found a poker from the side and closed the closet door very carefully. Looking at the cabinet door, I waited for half a minute and didn't find anything unusual, so I felt a little relieved. Even if there were tens of thousands of pounds in cash in the closet, Xia De would never open the door again.

Afterwards, the search continued, but unfortunately, there was indeed only this [relic] in the wardrobe in the attic. In addition to the relics, after carefully searching the room, Shad also found 23 gold pounds and 7 kroner in cash. The kroner is the currency of Kaserik, and it is indeed necessary for sailors who have been active at sea and in the New World all year round to hold foreign coins.

The coins are just a small gain, and the most important gain is actually an old book [Abyss of the Wind] related to the [Wind] spirit rune, as well as Le Maire's notes and letters of the ring warlock.

Any ring magician must be related to a certain organization. The harsh employment conditions and complicated power system determine that there is no celibate ring magician. Judging from those letters, the opportunity for Le Maire to become a ring warlock was that when his talent was awakened two years ago, he met a passenger who took a boat to the New World, so he embarked on the road of a ring warlock.

The name of the organization they belong to is "Sea Breeze Club~lightnovelpub.net~ Xia De has never heard of this name, but judging from the knowledge recorded in Le Maire's notebook and the usual communication with friends, this should be that A small club formed by a few ring warlocks may be slightly stronger than Dr. Schneider's five-member team.

In addition to his own experience, the materials left by Le Maire also described what happened after he realized that he was cursed.

Spotting the curse, three months after getting the statue from the warehouse dispatcher. From a weird dream, he thought of the mermaid statue, and after realizing that it was the source of the curse, the dull Le Maire finally realized that it was a relic.

He wrote to the club for help, and after describing what happened to him, the club immediately cut off all contact with him. Later, like the dispatcher who was shot dead by Shad, Le Maire also knew that judging from what he had done, if he went to the church for help, he would definitely die, so he hoped that he could use his own research to find out how to lift the curse. Methods.

Although he died because of the curse in the end, strictly speaking, this low-level warlock who was abandoned by the organization did discover something.
