Chapter 64 discusses the investigation mission.

The crowd stared at the scene for a long time, while someone nearby continued to draw the killer's specific appearance and features on the ground, combining the image with the drawing.

After watching the entire video.

Although the other person's image was still blurry, several physical features were still captured.

Theodore looked at the portrait in his hand, frowning slightly as he pondered.

Kosol, standing next to him, also had a serious expression.

They were all trying to figure out who this person was, constantly comparing the characteristics they found in him with the different forces in their minds.

Meanwhile, Vice Dean Spencer notified the other teachers.

"Investigate now to see if this person has left the magic academy. If they have, trace their last departure route. If not, arrest them immediately."

After everything was arranged, Spencer walked over to the portrait.

Looking at the face of the person in the portrait, the clothes they were wearing, and the arms that were exposed when they rolled up their sleeves while planting the bomb.

He looked at the other person's arm, where the tattoo was somewhat blurry and only a small part was visible.

"I seem to vaguely remember this tattoo."

Spencer's words immediately drew the attention of Theodore and Corsol.

However, neither of them spoke, for fear of interrupting Spencer's train of thought.

Spencer thought for a moment and took out a map from the storage space.

Following the map, I started walking upwards from the Apprentice City of the Radiant Kingdom.

"I've seen this pattern on merchants who do business with the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance before."

"That country is a mix of races, including humans, dwarves, and barbarians. So, to protect themselves, some people form various trade associations, alliances, and secret societies, and they get tattoos to distinguish themselves."

"If I remember correctly, this tattoo is the symbol of the Nighthunter Shadow Alliance under the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance. They specialize in taking money to do all sorts of shady jobs. Their doctrine is that they will do anything as long as you pay them."

After listening to Spencer's explanation of the killer's identity.

Theodore pushed up his glasses with his left hand.

"I see, espionage?"

In recent years, the various kingdoms have not been very peaceful, with constant minor conflicts.

It's just that previous espionage activities didn't reach those with superhuman abilities.

Thor clenched his fists, his voice filled with rage.

"I don't care about their bullshit espionage activities. Since they've already set their sights on my students, I'm going to take a piece of the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance."

Vice Dean Spencer remained silent.

Theodore curled his lip.

Even if Kothor himself were to encounter such a situation, the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance would offer no explanation, let alone Kothor's disciple, a mere high-level apprentice.

However, this mage is currently in a very hot-tempered state, so there are some things he can't say.

So the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent; they could only wait.

Waiting for the results of the investigation by other magic teachers.

Let's see if that madman who caused trouble in the City of Apprentices left any trace.

The efficiency here in the City of Apprentices is also very fast.

Spencer arranged for them to investigate in the morning, and the results came out in the afternoon.

Everyone gathered in the room where they had watched the video that morning.

Spencer held the slate in his hand.

He pointed his finger at the stone slab, and the entire map of the Apprentice City was displayed before everyone's eyes.

There is a clear red line on the map.

Spencer said coldly, "According to everyone's investigation, the murderer left Apprentice City on the night of the explosion. He escaped while a large number of guards were heading to the apprentices' residential area during the chaos."

"After the other party escaped, they did not try to conceal their whereabouts."

Spencer zoomed out on the map of the apprentice city, pointing south.

"Southwards, the enemy is fleeing all the way south. The best place to hide there is..."

"The Forest of Beneath the Woods..." Theodore murmured the name.

The teachers present also frowned.

The Resilient Forest is geographically located at the crossroads of three kingdoms and is controlled by the Dark Elves.

It's a place filled with chaotic magic, a paradise for criminals.

Korsol gave a disdainful sneer. "Ha, you've picked a good spot."

Because of the environment of the Resilient Wood Forest, mages will experience a significant reduction in strength when they go there.

The warriors, however, are unaffected there and can unleash their full potential.

It's fair to say that even if the City of Apprentices wanted to investigate, they would be somewhat powerless to do so.

Unless we truly wage war against the Resilientwood Forest and use large-scale magic to wipe everything out there.

But that's obviously impossible.

At that moment, Lyon suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Kosor, I have an idea. Should we send out a few investigation teams?"

"Oh?"

Thor raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling Leon to continue.

Lyon's lips twitched slightly, and he coughed.

"Well, as we all know, the stronger a mage is, the greater the restrictions they face when they go to the Toughwood Forest. This is because when casting powerful spells, the complex magic there can seep into the spell, causing it to go out of control or even triggering magical chaos, resulting in the spell exploding on the spot and injuring the caster."

"Therefore, the investigation teams we send out don't need to be very strong; just able to protect themselves is enough."

"For example, a squad consisting of advanced apprentices as members and intermediate mages as backup."

"Advanced apprentices can actually cast spells normally in the Toughwood Forest because of their strength. And if they really encounter danger, there is a mage leading the group who can risk casting spells."

"Unless they are truly desperate criminals, I think they would retreat in the face of magic that is about to spiral out of control."

After saying these words, Leon subconsciously licked his lips. At this moment, his heart was beating slightly faster, and his eyes were looking at Kosol.

The three men in front of him—Korsal, Spencer, and Theodore—were all deep in thought.

In the end, it was Kosol who spoke first.

"Mr. Nelson, what is your opinion?"

The decision was handed over to Lyon.

Lyon's lips twitched twice.

No, you can't laugh yet!

Lyon had a cold expression on his face.

"First, your student, Mr. Kane, will act as bait outside. He's part of the first investigation team, and the killer remembers him. Mr. Kane will be responsible for drawing attention in the open."

"Then we sent out a second, real investigation team to investigate the killer."

"Then arrange another small team to secretly protect Mr. Kane's safety."

Lyon offered his advice, his face etched with seriousness.

Thor nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Good idea. Although this will put Kane in danger again, the path of a genius is always bumpy. I have no objection."

Then Kosol looked at Spencer and Theodore.

Neither of them made a sound.

So Corsol nodded to Leon.

"Then let's do it this way. You'll handle the personnel arrangements, how about that, Mr. Lyon?"

Lyon looked very serious.

"My lord, Mage Kosol, it is a great honor for me."

After receiving the warrant from Corsol, Leon left the room.

At this moment, he could no longer suppress the smile on his lips.

He immediately went to Elor's house.

The moment the door was pushed open, it was announced:

"The spy has fled into the criminal-infested Toughwood Forest. Now, Elor, Lyons, and Dorothy, the three of you will disguise yourselves as mercenaries and go out on an investigative mission. Depart immediately!"
