Azumi and Alfin begin their investigation on the barrier that is placed around the room, as Azumi had suspected it is a barrier with concealment effect, but Alfin also said that there are traces of ignorance effect, causing people to just ignore anything that they heard smell or see coming from within the barrier
"so do you think that fake librarian dispel the spell just as we approach it" [Azumi]
"I don't think so, i think due to your high level of mana you are less affected, remember how even he was surprised by your command?" [Alfin]
"I see, that make sense, it will be better for the fake raja to hit me once i enter the room rather than flinging that door toward me, so in other word his plan to dispose us fail isn't it" [Azumi]
"yes, i hope so because he just run and it might be safe to say that i am not a target as he can just kill me when you go inspect that room, or he just afraid of your reaction if he were to harm me, both are plausible" [Alfin]
"sigh... i cant believe i put you in such grave danger, i am truly sorry for my negligence" [Azumi]
"it's ok, i am also responsible for it, he must also use the same barrier around him plus its early in the morning with such a lovely day, so both of us decrease our guard for a while" [Alfin]
"sorry..." [Azumi]
"haha, just do better next time ok" [Alfin]
Alfin proceed to pat Azumi head and he brushed it off
"you really do love to tease me in every possible way aren't you!?" [Azumi]
Azumi said it while sounding annoyed
"well, can't help it when you're so easily teased" [Alfin]
"Princess Alfin, only you and Mrs Usagina love to tease Azumi like that, if other do it they can say goodbye to their hand or maybe even their life" [Aurora]
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
"i won't go that far!" [Azumi]
""oh really..." [Alfin, Aurora]
"But still, even you guys and the court magician can't trace the mana of that guy?" [Aurora]
""yeah unfortunately..."" [Alfin, Azumi]
"it's ok, it just suprise me that there are person who are this good on concealing his mana and his presence, if only he was a good guy i would recruite him to my squad" [Aurora]
"Aurora, how about on your side, do you find anything strange?" [Alfin]
"not really, so i think its better for you guys to check the corpse of the raja" [Aurora]
""yeah, let us go"" [Alfin, Azumi]
They then proceed to go and inspect the corpse of the fake raja, just as Azumi theorised, the core really is that of an regular orc but was manipulated to become that of a raja
""but how?"" [Azumi, Aurora]
"beat me, i can do some research but i don't think we will get any result, you see this round structure beside the core? it have the magic circle that will cause anything beside him to burn if certain conditions is met and in this case the death of the raja, though i believe even the caster didn't thought that some of the trace of magic was left behind" [Alfin]
"so Princess Alfin, in other word the only thing we know is what Azumi has theorised?" [Aurora]
"yup, and can i ask you if it was possible to search from where the fake raja got the armor? i will give the armor to you afterward" [Alfin]
"understood" [Aurora]
"Azumi, let us meet my father and report to him what happen afterward, and Aurora if you don't have anything to do, please come with us" [Alfin]
"yes" [Azumi]
They then proceed to meet the king Edward to report the incident
"I see and how do you wish to proceed in your investigation about Ishmelga?" [King Edward]
"simple since the church 99.99% won't give any response, we just ask someone that know" [Alfin]
"hoo..., and who is it?" [King Edward]
"That is where Aurora will help, we will search for the ice queen spirit, Mahsuri" [Alfin]
