?Chapter 1190: 373. Deja Vu


    Investigating theft cases involving extraordinary powers was always arduous, especially since the thief had never shown his face, making the investigation even more challenging.


    Lamont was ordered to take hispanions through the streets, searching for any traces within and outside the city, questioning all wizards and ordinary people who might be rted to the case.


    The Earth Vein Pir wizards inside Revival City, he questioned.


    The Acting Commander of Division Intelligence Unit Two outside Revival City, he questioned.


    The “Imperial Fist,” who were only skilled in directbat and not suitable for theft, he also questioned.


    The Undead Cult spies caught by the Pure Light wizards, as well as the Grey Wizards roaming in the city and wilderness, he questioned them all. <div>


    ...


    But still, there were no clues.


    Because he possessed the rather rare extraordinary trait of “Lie Perception,” Lamont had always been busy on the frontline of the investigation, feeling increasingly the profound gulf between himself and the thief.


    It seemed like he and the other party were inpletely different worlds, with no intersection except for this case.


    Lamont even suspected that it might have been those Transcendent Wizards possessing sub-dimensional nes, who had sent their magic avatars to steal the gem box belonging to Pure Light Court.


    This suspicion was not without reason.


    For example, the first question, who could control Grand Inquisitor Jay Spade without leaving any trace?


    Transcendent Wizards.


    To be specific, a Transcendent Wizard skilled in Illusion Magic.


    Such beings might be unknown to others, but as a senior Light Wizard, Lamont had heard of them.


    Another example, the second question, how to remove the gem box from the range of the Tracking Array in the shortest time possible?


    Undoubtedly, by teleporting away with the gem box.


    After obtaining the gem box, the thief used teleportation at least twice.


    The first time, the thief teleported with the gem box to a deserted ce.


    The second time, under no outside watch, the thief opened a Teleportation Gate and returned to his sub-dimensional ne.


    This was the thieving process Lamont imagined in his mind.


    Regardless of the uracy of his fantasy, if someone in this world could effortlessly conduct this sequence of actions, it would necessarily be a Transcendent Wizard.


    “…Sir, these are my deductions,”


    Inside Jay Spade’s study room, Lamont respectfully reported his recent investigation results.


    Pinching his forehead, Jay Spade asked,


    “So, you ultimately suspect a Transcendent Wizard skilled in Illusion Magic stole the gem box?”


    “Yes, sir,” Lamont lowered his head and bowed slightly.


    Jay Spade had expected this answer and even had something to add.


    Being directly involved, he carefully recalled the scene that day multiple times.


    His body uncontrobly approached the high-value item warehouse, and somehow, the gem box in the warehouse disappeared.


    This indicated that there were at least two thieves.


    One was skilled in mental magic, possessing a power strong enough to control his, an eighth Circle wizard’s, mind.


    The other was skilled in illusion, just as Lamont had spected, likely being a Transcendent Illusion Wizard.


    These two formed a perfect thieving duo, which enabled them to steal the gem box.


    Truly vexing…


    Jay Spade muttered a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose hard.


    Transcendent Wizards were a very mysterious group.


    Their numbers, origins, and strengths were all difficult to pinpoint.


    From the data currently collected by the Pure Light Court, just those Transcendent Wizards emerging from Hotams could number up to ten.


    Estimating the number of Transcendent Wizards behind other major wizard forces based on the same ratio, their total number might reach around 150.


    The biggest issue was not the quantity of people.


    The real problem was that in the Pure Light Court, aside from Grand Inquisitor Paredes and a few other authoritative figures, everyone else was unable tomunicate with Transcendent Wizards.


    Since there was nomunication, the investigation process naturally could only be shelved.


    “You may leave, Lamont. Let’s put an end to the investigation,”


    Jay Spade waved his hand, signaling the other to withdraw while saying,


    “Rest well these next couple of days. Thetest by tomorrow, another batch of Soul Gems will be delivered. You will need to make contact with the people from the Undead Cult then.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Lamont excused himself.


    Only Jay Spade remained in the study room.


    After pondering for ten minutes, he picked up a pen and began to write.


    Three hourster, the investigation report waspleted.


    Jay Spade sent the report to Elder Skimming Light.


    He silently sat in his chair, waiting for a reply.


    What Jay Spade did not know was that his report was not opened by Elder Skimming Light.


    The report, passed through Elder Skimming Light as an intermediary, was sent into the Magic Ship docked in the Shipyard.


    After viewing the report, Tarsali, which had temporarily merged with the Magic Ship, sent the report to Paisi Dingda, who was next door to Jay Spade.


    At the same time he received the report, Paisi Dingda also got a secret order from Tarsali.


    The Metallic Ancestor Dragon Tarsali requested this Metal Wizard to apany Lamont to the Undead Cult, trying to find a way to meet with the master of the Soul Factory, Demon Bone.


    Tarsali had no hope from the start that the Pure Light Court could catch the thieves.


    It used a ceremony to contact its own Metal Creation Group’s Chief Mechanic Engineer, instructing him to use Synthetic Human Technology to rapidly cultivate Junior Life Forms and harvest Soul Energy en masse.
