Chapter 541 Strange city

I pointed at the food on the table and said, "Don\'t you see that the steam isn\'t disappearing? It doesn\'t seem to be cooling down even after all this time that you\'ve spent trying to barricade the door."

Cecilia was surprised at first, but then she and her subordinates came over to take a closer look at the food on the table that I had mentioned.

When they looked closely, they found that I was right.

No matter how long they stared at it, it didn\'t seem like the steam from the food was disappearing.

It seemed that it was still fresh no matter how long passed.

One of them even tried to pick up a piece of bread from the table, but they found that it was stuck just like the furniture. They couldn\'t move it no matter how they tried to budge it.

After seeing this, they all looked at me with strange looks, as if they were asking me what\'s going on.

I just calmly explained, "There\'s some kind of preservation spell that was cast on this place. I can feel the traces of magic that are surrounding all the things in this place, showing that there\'s some kind of spell cast on it. So the only thing that should have this effect is a preservation spell."

"Preservation spell?" They repeated with confused looks.

I knew what they wanted to ask, so I just shook my head and said, "I have no idea either. I just know that there\'s a preservation spell on these things or else it wouldn\'t be this way."

I didn\'t stay there and started walking around the building, trying to find something that could give me a clue.

Though it didn\'t seem like there was anyone in this city, Cecilia didn\'t let her guard down as she followed closely behind me. It seemed like she was prepared to protect me if anything happened.

But there was nothing to protect me from.

I just ignored her and went around the house looking for anything that I could get information from.

However, I wasn\'t able to budge a single thing either.

There were books that were in this house, but I wasn\'t able to lift them up, let alone lift the covers and see what was inside. It seemed that all of these books had the same preservation spell cast on them that stopped anyone from interfering with them.

So if I wanted information, I would have to break the spell first.

That had been something that I had considered earlier, but that was something for a powerful magician and not someone who had just started using magic like me. If it wasn\'t for the Orb of the Dead, I wouldn\'t have even qualified as a third rate magician.

So of course I wasn\'t able to break the preservation spell that was cast on this place.

All of this knowledge in front of me and not being able to read a single page, it was almost like a starving man not being able to eat the food that was in front of him.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up with a sigh.

There was nothing that I could do here, so I wanted to see if I could get anything from the other buildings around us.

This place was a city, so there were plenty of other places to search before giving up.

When I suggested this, Cecilia led the others in saying, "Going outside…"

They all looked out the windows of this house at the dark city around us, as if they were looking for something.

But no matter how they tried looking, they couldn\'t find a single thing around them,

It seemed that there really was no one in this dark city.

Or else if there were, they would have already found a trace of them with how vigilant they had been.

In the end, Cecilia agreed, but she did have a condition.

"Let us go out and check the surrounding area. We\'ll secure the next building before we all move over."

I gave a nod of agreement to this since this was a very reasonable request.

But the way that we were going about this…it was almost like I was being treated as some kind of VIP that needed to be escorted from place to place.

I had seen VIPs in my past life moving around like this, but now that I was being treated like this…there was a mix of emotions.

It was certainly interesting being protected like a VIP like this.

It gave a feeling of being very important to be protected like this.

But at the same time, it was awkward being protected like this since I was being surrounded like I was some special exhibit and wasn\'t allowed to take a single step out of line.

Still, we were able to make it to the next building like this.

This building was just the same as the other building that we came from.

It wasn\'t the exact same, but the general layout of this house was the same.

It was a residence just like the other house and there were many daily things scattered in this house. There was even a meal that was prepared and placed on the dining table that was steaming just like in the other house.

It seemed that there was a preservation spell that was cast on this house as well.

Since there was a preservation spell cast here, then it was no use trying to find any information from this place.

As expected, we weren\'t able to move any of the items in the house, so I wasn\'t able to get any information from the books and such that were in this place.

Going on like this wasn\'t a way to proceed and time was running out.

It might be time to try something drastic.
