Using the power of money to open the way will indeed lead to disadvantages.

Under the temptation of the Grand Pound, passers-by burst out with unlimited enthusiasm.

He even took the initiative to guide them a long way until they confirmed the location before reluctantly leaving.

"That person just now must have thought you were stupid and rich." Chris joked after the passerby left.

"Unfortunately, I am neither stupid nor rich." Wayne said casually and looked at the house at the end of the street.

It is said that this is the residence of the commoner who achieved great fortune and was awarded the title of baron.

Of course, he is no longer the same person now.

This residential area is far away from the bustling streets and alleys. It is almost close to the edge of the city wall. Even in the civilian area, the land price is very cheap. There are only a few very dilapidated buildings around, with cracks on the walls, and many are messy.

The wooden shelves are placed casually aside.

In short, it is a place that ordinary nobles would never accept to have anything to do with themselves.

I don’t know whether the former baron has always lived here, or whether he had to make do with hardships due to poor circumstances.

The door was closed tightly, and only a few weak and dim lights came from the cracks in the window to tell everyone that there were indeed people living here.

Wayne walked forward and knocked on the door.

Chrissy and Tasia also stood behind him, waiting together.

However, a long time passed and there was still no movement inside.

Wayne and Chris looked at each other and immediately activated their magic perception.

——There are no signs of life fluctuations.

He was startled for a moment, then immediately broke open the door and entered.

The lights were still on, and the still-warm dinner was still on the table.

However, the person disappeared.

Wayne's eyes stayed on the soup basin in the center of the dining table for a while.

It was said to be soup, but in fact the condiments seemed to be only a few vegetable leaves of an indistinguishable variety. A small bowl was served, but it seemed that it had not had time to start.

Tasia followed in puzzledly, feeling a little strange about Wayne's behavior, "Did Wayne discover something?"

But after seeing the dinner that had been placed on the table but had not been started, she paused slightly.

"This is……"

Wayne frowned and said: "I can't sense his presence. He probably encountered some very urgent problems, and he didn't leave for a long time."

"So... is this the reason why you broke into a private house?" Chris looked around and tilted her head to look at him.

"I'm doing this out of concern!" Wayne said confidently.

"It's obvious from the outside that someone is at home, but no one answered. What if there is an accident?"

For example, being killed for revenge or the like.

——I'm sorry, I've read too many suspense stories.

Tasia pondered: "Should we come again tomorrow?"

This person is not on Tasia's investigation list.

According to what the passers-by just said, Baron Horace once received a knighthood for his military exploits, and he was very glorious for a while.

He did not yet know that Horace had been deprived of his title. When he mentioned this baron, his tone was full of honorable pride.

"I think it's necessary," Wayne said.

"...If he were deprived of his noble title, he would most likely not be as secretive about his civilian origins as the previous ones."

Even if it is used as a control group for reference, it is quite valuable.

Tasia nodded.

However, when the three of them were about to leave Horace's home, there was a messy sound of horse hooves coming from far away.

A group of people in guard uniforms dismounted and surrounded them.

The leader wears a hat with colorful feathers.

He looked at the three people in front of him and ordered: "Arrest these rebel spies!"

The other five people echoed loudly and surrounded him without any explanation.

Wayne only felt that a question mark was slowly popping up on his head.

He protected Chris while warning: "Are you looking for death? We are relatives of Duke Wenche, not rebels!"

But the man in the feather hat couldn't listen to any explanation at all, and said coldly and sarcastically: "Oh, a relative of the Duke of Winche... I am still a relative of His Majesty the King!"

The guards didn't even hold back at all.

Wayne, who had been restraining the severity of his attacks, became angry and said, "Tasia, knock them out first."

The moment the words fell, the soil under his feet began to expand, soften, and flow.

The soil that is no longer hard seems to have turned into some kind of colloid. Once it is contaminated, it is extremely difficult to break away.

The movements of all the guards slowed down more than ten times, and from a distance it looked like they were performing a funny mime.

As far as the eye can see, everything is sinking.

The horses were frightened and ran away neighing, but the more they scurried about in the mud, the faster they sank.

Seeing his horse disappear in a blink of an eye, the leader's eyes twitched.

"I didn't expect it to be a big fish."

He stepped on other guards and jumped to a high point made of many wooden shelves stacked up.

Then, I saw him spreading his hands and carving something in mid-air.

A strange symbol as red as blood appeared, and the temperature in the air seemed to be slowly rising.

"If you don't submit the inspection certificate, it will be a killer move."

Wayne said in a deep voice, "Then, can I understand that you have ulterior motives?"

The man turned a deaf ear.

"Collude with the rebels and you will deserve to die!" A huge pillar of fire sprang out from the symbol in front of him, and dragons and snakes danced in the scorching flames.

"...Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it right away."

Wayne turned around and briefly comforted Chris, then raised his hand to summon a cubic earth element protective shield to protect her inside.

Don't know why.

After the installation was completed, the moment the flames struck, Wayne suddenly remembered...the practice of begging chickens.

The beggar chicken Chris was completely unaware of his treacherous thoughts.

She opened her lips slightly and said two words to him.

However, because the earth element completely cut off the air inside and outside, Wayne couldn't hear what she said.

"It'll be fine soon." He smiled at her.

But when he turned around and looked at the man wearing feathers, his expression was no longer so good.

"Is it worthy of death?" he asked rhetorically.

"Now that you have such an awareness, you can't blame me for what happens to you."

Although as long as you become Echo, you can have the magic power of cheating. It is easy to change three dimensions into two dimensions and two dimensions into three dimensions.

But at the same time, Wayne has not relaxed his study of earth magic.

What will happen if you re-analyze the original magic in yourself using the magic power of another dimension?

That will happen naturally...

Another level of magic.

The surrounding mudflow continued to climb while rolling, forming a closed dome in the blink of an eye, trapping everyone present inside.

"Come to me."
