At a distance of less than a hundred ters,
Ronald and Raphael crouched at the edge of the surrounding wall, quietly observing the estate of Elva from a very concealed angle.
During this ti, Ronald also switched the power of the "Hell Chapter" to "Fury" to observe the specific activities of the others.
After entering the room, the elderly Elva followed behind two young n.
It seed that Elva was in charge of directing while the other two were walking ahead, inspecting the rooms.
Maintaining their actions, about ten minutes after entering the estate, the three of them seed to have concluded their operations and then reconvened in the living room on the first floor.
At this mont, they stood still in their positions,
Ronald could also feel subtle changes in their emotions.
— It appeared that they were discussing sothing.
Considering the situation they were in,
And the events that had previously occurred in the estate,
Their conversation at this ti was likely about the whereabouts of the intruders.
As Ronald observed changes within the estate, Raphael, who stood beside him also watching the house but unable to see the interior, seed to have noticed sothing.
He turned his head towards Ronald.
Just by observing the expression on the man’s face in front of him, Raphael confidently asked,
"Ronald, have you discovered sothing?"
"..."
Ronald was slightly surprised in his mind,
But at such a ti, he didn’t mind revealing so capabilities of his spell to Raphael, so he simply nodded and replied,
"Those three guys are now standing still on the first floor, probably discussing sothing."
"Perhaps they are discussing the traces left by the invaders of the estate?"
As Ronald’s words fell, a quite smug smile appeared on Raphael’s face who was standing very close to him,
"Hehe—"
"The traces we left, huh..."
"Watch now, I bet they’re going to use so kind of spell to track us."
After several confidently made judgnts, Raphael, still quite intrigued, continued to ask Ronald,
"Ronald, do you believe their actions will definitely be as I said?"
Facing Raphael who seed to be in a very good mood, Ronald nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders,
"If that’s the case."
"Your preparations just now, might really co into play, right?"
Raphael, with a noncommittal smile on his face but a tone full of confidence, responded,
"Just wait and see."
"..."
After a few words, Ronald continued to focus his attention on Elva’s estate.
After a period of discussion, soone finally took action.
One of the young n voluntarily walked out of the house, standing on the space between the external wall and the main building, his gaze sharply scanning the surroundings. After making sure no one was paying attention to him, he imdiately crouched down and began to trace sothing on the ground.
Due to the distance, Ronald couldn’t see the details of the man’s actions.
However, Raphael squinted his eyes slightly, apparently very interested in the young man’s actions.
Soon, the young man completed the casting of his spell.
A semi-transparent ripple imdiately arose from beneath his feet and rapidly spread all around.
With the ripple gradually moving away from the Caster’s location, its semi-translucent state also progressively approached complete transparency, nearly at the spot where it crossed the walls of Elva’s mansion; the Spell completely rged into the air, leaving no trace of its existence detectable.
The spread of this Spell did not keep Ronald and Raphael waiting long.
It was only a matter of a few breaths.
The invisible tracking spell ca to their side.
Although the naked eye could not discern its presence, those on the mystical side were able to sense the mana fluctuations spreading through the air by concentrating their attention.
However, just as the Spell passed by Ronald and Raphael,
The liquid previously sprayed by Raphael had provided very effective defense.
The mana fluctuation of the spell was like non-slip slippers stepping on butter—it simply "slid" right past them without any obstruction, completely failing to achieve its original tracking and locating effect!
"..."
Ti passed slowly.
Almost a minute later, the young man by the mansion rose from the ground and then began to look around bewilderedly.
The Spell they had always relied on had lost its effect, without even a slight useful feedback.
Faced with this result,
He obviously appeared to be at a loss.
Subsequently, Elva, accompanied by another young man, stepped out from the house.
After speaking imposingly with the young man for a few monts, the visage of the elderly scholar imdiately turned sour, while the young man, whose Spell had been ineffective in finding Ronald and the others, could only stand there ekly, accepting the other’s rebuke.
anwhile, at a farther location by the mansion wall,
Witnessing this scene, Raphael now wore a rather pleased expression.
He even cheerily explained to Ronald,
"Ronald, let tell you!"
"This guy’s enchanted Spell isn’t sothing from the mainstream academies, but its effectiveness is quite respectable; it’s just that today his luck was not so good, running into a professional counter-tracker like ."
"What a poor kid."
"..."
Facing his companion whose expression was gaining more color, Ronald simply gave Raphael a thumbs up, then continued to focus his gaze on the trio in the courtyard.
After a period of conversation,
Elva shook his head unhappily, then turned by himself to go back inside the mansion.
The two young n left standing remained looking at each other for a few seconds before they turned dejectedly and walked out of the mansion, evidently heading toward leaving the street.
Noticing this, Raphael spoke to Ronald with a sowhat tense tone,
"Ronald, I suggest we call it quits for today."
"We at least now know that this Elva is indeed problematic, reporting him as a suspect to the investigation bureau is fine, or finding another opportunity later, but with an elderly Caster on alert, I absolutely do not recomnd going there right now for a fight."
"..."
Ronald understood Raphael’s cautious attitude.
Elva’s mansion had already brought them considerable trouble previously when uncontrolled.
Not to ntion now that the owner was back!
Heading in now would be like walking right into an enemy-constructed position.
It was completely treating their safety as a joke.
However, given the current circumstances, it wasn’t necessary to keep their focus solely on this elderly scholar.
His gaze slowly moved away from the direction of Elva’s mansion.
Watching the departing backs of the two young n, Ronald spoke earnestly,
"Raphael, I plan to follow those two guys and see what they’re up to."
"Are you coming with ?"
