"Hoo I don''t know how these witches got the money to buy this house. As far as I know, although the housing price in this area is not unreasonable, it will not be easy for ordinary people to take it. " The shadow looked at the blue house not far away and whispered. And the reason why he said this is naturally because even with his high return as a killer, his current savings are not enough to pay the price of the house. According to the idea of the shadow, since the existence of witches themselves is far beyond that of mortals, they naturally will not do mortal work. Therefore, the source of money for witches is a problem.

    "It''s not easy. As long as they want to, I believe they can get a lot of money at any time. Every witch is a master of pharmaceutics, not to mention the dangerous power of cursing mentioned by the wizard "One eye," said. He''s right. If witches are willing to sell their powerful pharmaceutical products, it''s easy to get a lot of money.

    "I''m afraid that''s impossible. Witch''s Potion naturally has its unique effect, and sometimes its effect is incomparable. But as far as I know, witches never trade with money. They are only interested in one thing. " Cheese said, the first to turn over and dismount, this is not because the mage wants to make his behavior look more polite. But the closer he got to the witch''s house, the more resistant his horses were to moving on. The more sensitive parts of the animals make them refuse to get close to the danger. It is said that there are only two kinds of animals that can approach or are willing to approach the witch''s building: The Raven and the black cat. So there are also hunters who hunt witches for a living, relying on these two animals to find witches hiding in the city.

    Seeing the action of cheese, the remaining two people also noticed the abnormal situation of their own mount. Now that the mage has dismounted, they naturally don''t think they can force the horse to come to the building. Soon, they decided to tie the horses to the corner and hiked to the door with three steps. They stood in front of the steps, but no one dared to step on the blue stone steps with candles. Although "one eye" and shadow cast doubts on cheese, the mage did not give any further instructions.

    After a few seconds, or "one eye" and so on impatient, he raised his chin, motioned the shadow to go up and knock on the door. Although the shadow was reluctant to accept his boss''s orders, he had no other options to choose from. Helpless, the young killer slowly walked up the steps, and when he stepped on the steps made of bluestone, the candle flame on the steps slowly turned into bright yellow.

    "One eye" naturally noticed this strange scene, and he wanted to open his mouth to remind his subordinates. But it was blocked by the cheese. In the mage''s eyes, the three steps and the three candles were covered with a strange halo, which meant that it was not as easy as it seemed to go up the steps and knock on the door. However, because most of the witches'' magic arts were not found, and cheese couldn''t figure out what the array on this step was for, so he would wait for others to go up first, and the mage needed to observe to judge the specific function of the array.

    The shadow, which had stood at the door, did not seem to notice the change in the candle flame. After looking back at the other two, he took a deep breath and bravely knocked on the witch''s door.

    "Kowtow, kowtow!"

    The sound of knuckles hitting the wooden door is so clear. Then there was a brief silence, no one responded to the knock on the door, and no footsteps were heard in the room. But just as the shadow was going to knock on the door again, an incredible scene happened. In the cheese and "one eye" vision, the shadow of the whole person slowly become blurred, and then disappeared in a very short time! Seeing this situation, "one eye" subconsciously turned his face to cheese. The situation beyond common sense made him urgently need the explanation of the master.

    "Don''t worry. The shadow is fine. He was just invited in by the owner Cheese narrowed his eyes and said that his eyes were shining with magic. Although it was not as fierce as when casting, it was enough to prove that the mage was observing the scene from a different perspective.

    After a short silence, the glory in cheese''s eyes gradually disappeared. He had learned something about this little initiation ceremony. Even through this array, the mage also had a general understanding of the house owner''s strength. And this understanding, let him say to "one eye".

    "Next, you knock on the door."

    Are you teasing me?! Hearing this sentence, although "one eye" did not cry out, but his action is obviously to express this meaning. His companion''s behavior did not make him resist.

    "If you still want to see shadows, knock on the door." Said the mage.

    "One eye" is still a role in the street. Although he has a grudge against the strange experience of the shadow, the underground leader does not allow himself to leave just because of his morality or the blood in his heart. After moving the joints of his hands, "one eye" took a look at the cheese and went up the steps.

    "If you cheat me, you will regret it." He threatened the mage before he stepped on the first step.When "one eye" stepped on the steps, the candle flame on the steps almost instantly turned into dazzling red. This red is different from the red flame, but as thick as blood and palpitating color. "One eye" standing on the steps, like the shadow before, did not notice this. Or he turned a blind eye to the candles after he stepped up the steps. The red candle was growing rapidly at an explosive speed. The flame, which was only a little larger than the knuckle of the pinkie, suddenly shot up to the height of one person, and the anger and killing intention conveyed from the flame were hardly concealed.

    But just as the red candle was growing, the cheese moved. The master''s palm is far away toward "one eye", and he recites some kind of incantation in silence. Cheese read carefully, because he is also the first time to use this mantra. If a syllable is mispronounced, God knows if the gang leader will be swallowed up by a candle full of anger the next second. Fortunately, the mage''s casting seemed to be very successful. The candles gradually calmed down like the soothed beasts. After a few seconds, they returned to their original appearance, but the color was still red.

    For what happened just now, the "one eye" standing in front of the door seems to have no idea. In his perspective, the whole world seems to have only the wooden door in front of him. Finally, after the red candle light was soothed by cheese, "one eye" also knocked on the door.

    In line with what happened after the shadow knock on the door, the figure of "one eye" disappeared in a few seconds after the knock. The original three people at this time only cheese one person is still standing in front of the door. And the two men with him had disappeared on the bluestone steps.

    The mage took a deep breath. He knew that the next thing was the focus. The three steps were not accidental. Maybe they had their own will to lead the visit today. From the perspective of cheese, if you want to enter the house through this ladder, three people must knock on the door together before and after, and can not be excluded by the candles on the steps. Originally, "one eye" should not have been able to knock on the door because he had a problem with the witches before, but cheese helped him to pass the candle test by force. Next, as long as cheese successfully knocked on the door, the array would lose its effectiveness.

    Stepping slowly up the steps, cheese lost contact with the outside world in an instant, and his vision was compressed to the door in front of him. If you are an ordinary person, you may not notice this abnormal phenomenon at all, but as a fully trained caster, cheese can still maintain self-awareness in this array. Although he really wanted to look around, the mage still suppressed his thirst for knowledge. There was only one last step left to pass through the array. If the array collapsed due to these unimportant small actions and all the previous achievements were wasted, cheese himself would not forgive himself.

    "Knock knock knock" the mage knocked on the door. This time, a sound of footsteps came out of the door.

    "Come in, uninvited guests." A voice came from behind the door, and then the wooden door opened. A young woman appeared in front of the mage with a look of blame.
