Greetings, Mister Principal: Traces

The storm brewing in the Rainbow Tower has not yet reached the outside world, and Reiner naturally does not know that his thesis is triggering a wonderful reaction through the hands of several high-level mages.

When he got up in the morning, he ate a sumptuous breakfast prepared by the innkeeper Aunt Gwen, left a note for Claire, who was still sleeping, and walked out of the inn.

Liner took the rental carriage directly to Aunt Celia's villa. As soon as he got off the car, the housekeeper Chandler told Lena a piece of news.

His eldest brother Raven has left Olmsted. I don’t know whether he gave up searching for clues or for other reasons. In short, he withdrew from the competition in Olmsted this time.

At least Reiner doesn't have to remind him.

Reiner gave Chandler the two letters he wrote last night and asked him to pass them on to his second brother Hyrule and sister Phyllis. Both letters contained reminders of Ohmster's recent anomalies. Advice, as for whether he can listen to it or not, Reiner has no control over it.

He walked into the villa and came to the two rooms that were once used as alchemy laboratories that he discovered yesterday.

What Reiner is looking for this time is not the traces of alchemy, but the traces of human existence.

Macon often comes in and out of the mansion. He is bound to leave some traces of himself here. From these traces, he can obtain some of his personal information. This is something that is not usually noticed. Reiner only hopes that the other party will return it. There is no such awareness of counter-investigation.

"There is lavender pollen in the sofa. The amount is very small and almost negligible. There is no lavender planted in the garden, and Aunt Celia has no record of using lavender. This comes from outside."

"In addition to the alchemical traces on the curtains, there is also an undetectable smell of smoke. Aunt Celia does not smoke. This is a trace left by Macon. The type of cigarette is, well, a homemade cigarette mixed with a little vanilla. , using cigarettes instead of pipes is a characteristic."

"Although the carpet has been replaced with a new one, you can check the slight dents in the floor, which restores the structure of the alchemy laboratory... It seems that he often stands here. It is estimated that he is 1.8 meters tall, and he is a tall man. He is tall, weighs between eighty and ninety kilograms, and is quite strong."

"The hangers have not been replaced. The discoloration due to sunlight can be seen from regular use. Aunt Celia naturally does not use the hangers in the guest room at home. This is used by Macon. Some wool can be detected on it. It is A well-made coat, at least Macon is very particular about appearance."

"The presence of hairspray can also be detected in the room. Similarly, Aunt Celia has not used hairspray. This is also left by Macon. I remember that his hair is messy in the photo. Has it been sorted now?"

There is a quill floating around Reiner, recording his findings. Although there is a photo of Macon, as an alchemist and a wanted criminal, he is most likely to disguise himself, or even use magic to He used various methods to transform his body, causing earth-shaking changes in his appearance and body shape, so Reiner carefully collected all the information.

Soon enough, Reiner got Macon's profile.

A tall, muscular man who pays attention to appearance, wears a well-dressed coat, and has a neat hairstyle. He smokes homemade vanilla-flavored cigarettes. Lavender is planted in the place he frequents. He unknowingly got pollen on his body, or maybe he used lavender. to cover up your own body odor.

Coupled with the Macon in the photo, Reiner can basically build a picture of what Macon looks like now.

"Lavender is a breakthrough point. This is lavender pollen. Macon must have been to a place where lavender is grown."

Reiner walked downstairs and found Chandler.

"Uncle Chandler, do you know where lavender is grown in Olmsted?"

Hearing Reiner's question, Chandler frowned slightly and then answered.

"To the east of the city, on the outskirts, there is a plantation. I remember that there are all kinds of flowers planted there, including lavender."

"Okay, thank you."

Reiner decided to visit here first. He thanked Chandler and left.

"Master Reiner, you have grown a lot."

Chandler said, feeling a little emotional.

"People have to grow."

Linner smiled helplessly and walked out of the villa.

......

West rubbed his shoulder. He accidentally injured it when he was thrown out by those **** restaurant waiters yesterday. It is still a little swollen and sore. These idiots, when West was hanging out in Ohmster, this restaurant The restaurant hasn't even opened yet, so arrogant.

Despite this, his eyes did not leave the person in front of him.

On the crowded streets, West seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but in fact, he had been staring at a suspicious guy.

The tall man had blue hair combed into a slicked back, wore an elegant dress, and was walking on the street with a box in his hand.

The reason why West felt that the other party was suspicious was because the man had a special smell.

Others may not be clear, but West, who has traveled on the mainland for many years, quickly figured out that it was a kind of incense that was usually sprayed on the body by alchemists after conducting experiments with strong smells. Tools for masking.

This man is an alchemist, and it seems that his rank is quite high.

Omster is not a city that mages like. It is rare for an alchemist to appear. As a first-level mage, West is naturally a little curious. After following the other party for more than ten minutes, West discovered that this People are always wary of their surroundings, so they must be hiding some secrets.

When West saw the other party getting on the carriage, he hurriedly hailed a carriage to follow. The two carriages kept their distance ~IndoMTL.com~ and circuitous in the city. Soon, West discovered that, The direction the other party was heading towards was the plantation located to the east of the city.

He saw the other party's carriage stop and the man walk into the plantation. West also got off the carriage and walked around the back door into the plantation.

As you can see, there are large lavender fields in the plantation. Flowers were quite famous as an export commodity of Olmsted decades ago. This plantation used to be quite prosperous, but with the development of the times, , the place gradually declined, with only a few fields still under cultivation.

West felt a little strange. The plantation was too quiet now. It was very strange because no one could feel the presence.

He came to the plantation warehouse according to his memory, but heard human voices.

"Help..."

The voice was so low that it could only be vaguely recognized. West sneaked in from a side door and unlocked the door.

In the dim warehouse, West saw the farmers from the original plantation being tied together and gathered in the warehouse.

"What is going on? Someone is robbing the plantation?"

West thought of the suspicious man just now. He was confused, but he immediately came to a farmer and untied the rope for him.

"What the **** is going on?"

West asked, but saw the farmer's eyes widening, staring directly behind West.

"Wait..."

Aware of something strange, West turned around hastily, but the next moment, a dagger with silver light and tattoos with magic runes was inserted into his chest.

"I didn't expect there was a mouse here."

The other party said, twisting the sharp blade in his hand, and then pulled it out. Warm blood gushes out, taking away West's power.

West fell to the ground and he saw the man's face.

It's unremarkable, yet creepy.
