Chapter 53 Dimension Jump
A week passed quickly.

Xiao En found that his job seemed to be different from that of other investigators.

There have been some paranormal events in Dorne recently, but none of them are serious.

Take the paranormal incident that Hank investigated recently, for example. There was a group of sophomore students at Caesar University who were so crazy that they actually played psychic games during a party at night. Actually, these were nothing. The real world was isolated from the weird kingdom, and without the corresponding mystical knowledge, psychic rituals generally would not be effective.

But they actually stole the notes of Professor Frank, a history professor at Caesar University. Relying on their audacious curiosity, they followed the contents of the notes and used an antique as a ritual medium. They actually completed half of the ritual and opened a glimpse into the spiritual world.

The final result was that one died, one went mad, two became mentally ill, and the last one suffered from nightmares and hallucinations all day long.

The headquarters assigned this matter to Hank to handle. Sean originally wanted to help, but his superiors rejected his application directly on the pretext that he needed to recuperate.

So Xiao En became the one with the least time among the investigators.

"Hank investigated the psychic case, Kerwill investigated the missing archaeologist case, and Jean investigated the man-eating rat case in the sewer."

"I am not allowed to interfere in anything."

"How can I level up like this?"

Xiao En opened the curtains, got up and brushed his teeth. He was very idle every day. In the morning, he would report to the headquarters and look through the file records of previous investigators, or go to the library to read some occult information about strange creatures. At noon, he would have a good meal in the cafeteria. In the afternoon, he would go out for a walk on the streets, which was actually just a walk to digest the food after dinner. When he had nothing to do, he would go for a stroll around the university town, and then he would stay in the library until 5:30 in the afternoon.

The evenings are more free. I occasionally go out for a drink with Hank and William, and usually take a walk in the breeze at the dock area.

Basically, I go to bed on time around 10 o'clock in the evening to digest the knowledge I memorized through reading magic.

"This life is more comfortable than retirement life."

Xiao En currently does not feel any malicious intent directed at him. Through his observations over the past few days, the top brass of the Night Watch seem to protect his rationality as a scarce strategic resource and do not want Xiao En to consume too much of his rationality in some insignificant supernatural events.

Simply put, leave the unimportant strange incidents to other investigators, and Sean maintains a good mental state. When a major crisis occurs, it is his turn to take action.

This may also be related to his ability to activate Seal No. 1.

Because Sean had auditory hallucinations some time ago, Benjamin probably reported it to the Night Watch's top brass, and they are currently paying more attention to Sean's mental state.

For the Night Watch headquarters, such a highly intelligent investigator has not appeared in decades.

People with high spirituality lose rationality faster because they see more strange things.

They didn't know that Sean had no fear, so they paid special attention to his mental state. There is no way to measure rationality, and when they realize something is wrong, specific signs of madness will appear.

So in this situation, Xiao En became the one with the most free time.

"No. I still need to exercise."

"Continue to apply for missions today."

How can you accumulate experience if you don’t take the initiative?

He is now like a special consultant at the Night's Watch headquarters. He is served with delicious food and drinks every day, all his requests are met, and the secret database is completely open to him. Sean can check the information of all the monsters currently recorded at any time.

This is the intention to train him to become a 'legendary investigator'.

Yesterday, the headquarters officially issued him a document, raising his salary by one level and allowing him to apply for a higher housing allowance.

"The reward for my last mission should be coming soon."

After brushing his teeth and changing his clothes, Sean hired a laundry worker who specialized in serving the tenants of this apartment building. Her monthly fee was relatively fair and she worked very hard.

It only costs 20 dinars a month, and it’s all hard-earned money.

Xiao En contributed a lot in the last strange incident, and the headquarters raised his salary by one level. His current salary is 3300 dinars per month, which is equivalent to nearly one year's salary of an ordinary worker in the dock area and about six times the salary of a white-collar employee. Other welfare benefits have also been slightly improved, plus additional housing subsidies, etc., not counting the reimbursement part, it is about 3600 dinars per month.

Of course, the investigators will be reimbursed a little extra.

If he wasn't a wizard, this salary would allow Sean to live a very wealthy life.

Night Watch Headquarters.

There are almost no ordinary people passing by here, and those who do will not notice this huge complex of buildings. There must be some kind of strange magic array arranged to make other people automatically ignore everything here.

"Good morning! Sean." A clear and pleasant female voice came.

Sean looked up and saw Daisy. She was wearing a light blue floral dress today. She looked playful and cute, like a quirky girl next door.

But after spending a long time together, Xiao En, like William, was a little afraid of her.

Just a little bit, not much.

"Good morning, Daisy." Sean nodded slightly.

Daisy is an exchange student working at the Night Watch headquarters. She often skipped classes in college and only comes here occasionally to punch in to make her presence felt. The higher-ups are afraid of causing diplomatic disputes, so they won't assign her dangerous tasks.

After completing her studies, she is expected to return to the Dre area.

Next to Daisy was a tall woman with a serious expression, about 27 or 28 years old, with stern features and a serious expression. There was a shallow scar on the side of her neck. She was wearing a large gray windbreaker. When she saw Sean, she nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Investigator Sean."

Sean responded, "Hello, Jean."

"Any clues?"

The other party is investigating the man-eating rat incident. Rats should not gather in large numbers, and rarely attack humans. The headquarters suspects that the rats ate the flesh and blood of the out-of-control people, causing large-scale contamination.

In the last market district incident, an out-of-control Deep Diver died in the sewer, and perhaps something left behind was eaten by rats.

Because of this incident, someone in the logistics department was demoted and held accountable.

"Yeah." Qin nodded and said, "Small problem."

"It's just a little troublesome to deal with. I can only ask Daisy for help."

It is difficult to clean up the pollution caused by so many rats. Daisy has the ability to control animals, so it is the right person to find her.

Hank didn't report to the headquarters today, so he should still be in the university town.

The entrance of the corridor.

"Sean."

A secretary wearing glasses walked over quickly, looked up at Xiao En and said, "Your mission application has been approved."

"But you have to do a psychological evaluation first."

Xiao En really didn't want to be idle like this. He felt that his rationality was recovering quickly, but others didn't think so. If an investigator showed signs of temporary madness, he would need to rest for at least one or two months before returning to normal. Xiao En rested for a week.

In fact, he felt that he had almost recovered the next day, but he couldn't help but get a long vacation approved by his superiors.

Sean met the psychiatrist Ivan again, a person with psychic abilities.

He is somewhat averse to spiritual approaches.

Ivan seemed to have no friends here. He usually kept to himself. People rarely got close to people with spiritual paths. He gave Xiao En a psychological assessment and said with a surprised expression: "Your rational anchor is very solid."

In the way Sean understood it, his rationality value recovered very quickly, far exceeding that of other investigators.

"You should have no problem carrying out the mission now." Ivan quickly stamped the psychological evaluation and said softly, "Just take this and give it to them."

There aren't many investigators in Dorne.

The night watchmen only need to be able to fight, but the investigators must have a high level of inspiration in addition to having a certain ability to protect themselves.

There was a time when the city of Dorne was in a situation where there were no investigators available.

After that, the protection measures for investigators were strengthened a lot. High-inspiration extraordinary people are relatively rare, and the proportion of investigators killed in the line of duty is too high. "Thank you." Xiao En reached out and took the assessment report.

With this report, he should have no problem applying for missions in the future.

At noon.

Xiao En was eating in the cafeteria. The food for the combatants was indeed better. Today's main dishes were pan-fried cod, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, beef stewed in red wine, steamed lobster, etc. According to the productivity of this era, this was the kind of food they had every day. Even ordinary nobles might not be able to afford it. Their food standards were basically the same as the buffets in five-star hotels in their previous lives.

Many of the Night Watchmen are big eaters, especially Jason Tangle, who can eat a whole roasted lamb even with the help of a crutch.

Well, he can walk normally now.

"The recovery ability of a transcendent being strengthened by flesh and blood is amazing." Xiao En was shocked at the time.

Sean's appetite was average today, so he picked up a piece of pan-fried cod with a lemon on the side and took a small piece. He also had a portion of beef stewed in red wine. The part of the beef was unclear, but it was very soft and tender. He was a little tired of lamb chops recently, so he switched to a portion of seafood lobster. Half a plate was filled with vegetables and fruits. He was going to eat some vegetarian food today to supplement dietary fiber.

Because of its access to the sea, the price of seafood in Dorne is not expensive.

Although the productivity in the real world is not high, the price of food is relatively low, and ordinary civilians can afford to eat meat occasionally. It is said that the food in the Der area is even cheaper, which should be related to the natural way.

The Kingdom of Dorne enjoys good weather all year round.

When Xiao En thought of this, he probably knew why Daisy's identity was so special. He would also have to take good care of this exchange student.

In a special closed room.

As the capable short-haired woman in front of him turned on the light, Xiao En immediately saw a completely sealed black box with intricate rune engravings on the surface, which was a little different from those he had seen last time.

"The extraordinary relics recovered in the last operation were too contaminated. There is basically nothing you can use."

The woman in front of him gestured, "This was temporarily transferred from somewhere else."

“It took a lot of effort.”

The reward has come.

This time there was a black box in front of Xiao En. He glanced at the short-haired woman next to him and gently opened the box.

A strange group of broken crystals that looked like stars emerged.

It is not a physical relic, but is suspended in the air one centimeter high. It appears to be solid to the naked eye, but when one reaches out to touch it, the reality quickly changes, as if it does not exist in this space.

This extraordinary relic is not simple.

It is possible that it is not obtained from the material world.

——Identification technique.

The mysterious knowledge in Sean's brain slowly flowed out, and when it touched this strange crystal fragment, the knowledge whispered and seemed very excited.

——"The crystallization of the Dimension Hound, a very rare and extraordinary relic."

Knowledge is ready to move, but it has not yet used all its strength.

——"An extraordinary relic that does not belong to the real world. Knowledge has discovered the spell of [Dimension Jump]."

Knowledge cheers.

They flowed and enveloped the extraordinary relics before them, trying to decipher more information.

——"Dimension jump, 2nd level spell. Gate sequence."

——"The caster opens an invisible small space door and disappears directly from the original place, reappearing in any area within the line of sight. The distance of the dimensional jump is affected by the extraordinary level."

Flash!

Xiao En's expression changed instantly, and his eyes became hot as he looked at the extraordinary relic.

One of the signature spells of the Wizard Path.

However, extraordinary relics are extremely rare and basically difficult to find in the real world. Monsters with this extraordinary nature can basically move across space and most of them appear in levels outside the real world.

Normally, it would be difficult for Xiao En to obtain such a rare and extraordinary relic.

It should be related to his ability to use Sealing Artifact No. 1. He contributed a lot in the last operation, so he took the trouble to transfer this extraordinary relic from other places.

Whether from the perspective of an investigator or a spellcaster, Xiao En is a key training target.

For low-sequence wizards, preserving their own lives is their top priority.

"You can hold the ceremony right here."

The woman at the side motioned for the others to go out, and she closed the door herself and said, "Captain Benjamin is waiting for you outside."

With the experience from last time, Xiao En was already familiar with extracting extraordinary relics.

ten minutes later.

Xiao En's figure suddenly disappeared from where he was, and appeared in the corner of the room the next second.

"Dimension jump."

"This should be my strongest life-saving ability at the moment." Xiao En only used it once and he knew how powerful this spell was.

If we were to rate spells, Dimension Jump would definitely be a rare SSS-level spell.

The key is that it is only a second-level spell consumption.

Sean began to test the effect of this spell.

"The cooling time is very short, less than ten seconds."

"The casting speed is a little slow, about a little over a second, but it's acceptable. After mastering skilled casting and swift casting, it should be able to be even faster."

"The distance of the dimensional jump is only about four meters. It should be that my current strength is not enough. After the promotion, I can teleport farther."

Xiao En's figure instantly appeared on the table in front.

"You can cross obstacles, as long as you have good vision."

“It can be from any angle.”

"I can appear directly in mid-air, as long as I don't fall to death. In this case, it should be no problem to flash directly to the second floor. The difference in the angle of transmission is very effective."

“This ability is too strong!”

This should be the most powerful spell that Xiao En currently possesses, which can be used for both offense and defense.

After gaining the ability to jump into another dimension, Xiao En's combat power instantly increased, and he was able to fight even against a rampaging out-of-control person. Of course, his damage output might still be a little insufficient, as a gun must hit the head. The Explosive Flame Technique has not been used in actual combat yet, so it is uncertain how powerful it is.

According to the records in Ms. Hecate's library, Pyrotechnics is in the first tier of second-level spells in terms of power, and its biggest drawback is that it cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

"Flying, teleportation, and beyond visual range combat."

One of the three elements for the wizard's combat power to burst out, Xiao En has obtained the most critical one, the teleportation ability.

"If it can be converted into a specialized spell, my Dimension Jump should have a shorter cooldown time."

Teacher, I miss you very much.
