Chapter 177: The Unlucky Great Magician
"Owen is dead?"
The information he got from Wan Li's mouth made Lu Fan feel that it was coming too quickly.
"Yes, just now a guard found that Owen had died in a temporary cell, and the way of death was the same as Cheng Chengyi's death, which was a fatal blow from an ice pick through the heart. Wan Li, who was temporarily stopped by Lu Fan, was a little helpless and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"......" Lu Fan touched his chin and glanced at Qian on the side.
They really got it right.
"Also, here's a letter for you. Wan Li took out a piece of paper with blood stains from her pocket and handed it to Lu Fan.
"For me?" Lu Fan was stunned again, and reached out to take it.
"Yes, it was placed on Owen's corpse, and it was written for you, but it was just a blank piece of paper, I can't see what it means"
Wan Li showed a strange expression.
Lu Fan turned the piece of paper over and over again, but there was really no content.
"Strange ......"
Lu Fan muttered and handed the paper to the black-haired girl who was looking at it with her little head stretched out.
Akane took the paper and looked back and forth for a long time, but she didn't seem to see what it was.
"Don't worry about Owen for now, have you been outside the city?" Lu Fan still remembered the old man.
"I sent someone to go, but I didn't find anything except traces of battle......" Wan Li shook her head and looked at Lu Fan with a little curiosity.
After all, the traces of that battle are not too much to say that they are natural disasters.
In addition to a huge pothole, there were all kinds of uprooted trees around it, and everyone who arrived at the scene at that time was surprised to close their mouths.
This man survived that battle, and he was able to rush back to save his own young lady......
At this time, two more people came in from outside the door, interrupting Wanli's thinking.
"May I ask if Cheng Moyin is here?"
Lu Fan turned his head to look at it, and it turned out to be twin dragon brothers, so he said, "If there is anything you can tell us first, Miss Cheng is still busy inside." ”
The spearman saw Lu Fan and saluted forward: "This is Mr. Lu Fan, the first time we met, I am the Takili of the Twin Dragon Mercenary Group, and I have been entrusted by the mayor of the town to report on the few magicians you mentioned." ”
"Mayor of the town?" Lu Fan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this mayor to be so active, so afraid that his little thing would be poked out?
In fact, this is Lu Fan's mistake to blame the mayor, since the Ping calendar, the various empires on the mainland have dealt a relatively large blow to various organizations, so even if the power of the dark world is huge, it is not something that can be messed with on the surface.
This time a number of high-level magicians were involved, which had already attracted the attention of the imperial capital, and if the mayor of the town did not investigate, it would be more serious than the bribe that Lu Fan caught.
"Yes, our mercenary group has cooperated with the Guards Mansion to conduct a comprehensive search and search in the town, and it has been determined that those magicians are no longer in the town. Takiri nodded.
"How did you confirm it, and the person who killed Cheng Chengyi?" Lu Fan didn't know how they were so sure that that group of people couldn't hide in such a big town, after all, there were areas hidden in the dark world, and a few magicians could still have nowhere to go.
"My lord doesn't know, we also know some friends from special channels, and I'm sure these magicians are no longer in this town, and that ice archmage ......" Taki Li took off his shoulder armor, slightly exposing his shoulder, and a wound with a hint of cold air was in his eyes, "Actually, when he came out of the Guard's Mansion, he happened to bump into me and my brother going to the Guard's Mansion to investigate Owen's matter, and the two of us had a brief fight with him, although we were both injured, it didn't make him feel good." ”
Takiri brought back the shoulder armor and pointed to the north: "According to the tracking of my brothers, after being wounded by the two of us, the man quickly fled from the north gate, and should not come back in a short time. ”
That magician actually suffered at the hands of these two people?
Lu Fan couldn't help but feel that he had underestimated the strength of these two brothers.
And at this time, in a small forest outside the town.
"Damn, how could these two deadly madmen pop up. The man clutched his stomach and leaned against the tree, where a crack had been made, and the wound frozen by the cold did not continue to bleed for the time being.
It's so unlucky, I just killed Owen, and I was about to run over the wall again, and as soon as I landed, I bumped into the fat and thin swordsman, and was attacked by the swordsmen at such a close range, even if I was a level 7 great magician, I couldn't please much, and it was already very extreme to be able to knock down one and escape.
The man took out a bottle of potion from the space ring and poured it down in a few sips.
"There's not much time left, you have to get out of ...... quickly"
......
The day passed quickly, and when Cheng Moyin came out of the room, he said goodbye to his father with a face full of concern, and everyone returned to the wind and rain again.
"Sir, are we leaving?"
In the room with the magic crystal lamp, the girl sat on the edge of the bed, soaking a pair of dexterous little feet in warm water, making a refreshing sound, and at the same time, she did not forget to ask Lu Fan, who was still looking at the paper next to the desk.
"Hmm...... Should be leaving soon. ”
Lu Fan nodded, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Even if it was learned from the sky during the day that the magician was seriously injured by them, and several other magicians were no longer in Ostown, it should be able to show that this organization had abandoned the Cheng family.
It's just that I still can't see any way to this letter, and besides, the matter of rushing to the port of Yes really can't be delayed any longer...... Otherwise, I don't know how long I will have to wait next time.
Well, let's hope so.
Lu Fan put away the paper again, looking at the black-haired girl who was shaking her feet in the basin, and the childlike appearance made Lu Fan laugh.
It's like a child.
As if sensing Lu Fan's gaze, the girl glanced at Lu Fan, and hurriedly stretched out her feet that were still playing in the water out of the footbasin, like wiping her feet with a towel.
At this moment, the girl's hand froze in the air, and Lu Fan had already picked up the towel hanging on the chair, lifted her calf, and helped her dry her feet.
"Sleep! I'm going to wake up early tomorrow. ”
Nest the quilt for the girl with a red face, Lu Fan patted the quilt with a smile, and brought the footwashing water out of the room.
"Lu Fan ...... first"
At this time, a female voice sounded from the courtyard, and unexpectedly did not finish.
Lu Fan held the basin of water, saw Cheng Moyin, who was crying and laughing, and shrugged his shoulders: "Help Xiaoqian wash her feet and pour water." ”
"Mr. Lu Fan really loves Xiaoqian as always......"
Cheng Moyin's words had a faint taste, and he pointed to the courtyard and said, "I have something I want to discuss with Mr. Lu Fan, I'll wait for you there first." ”
Lu Fan nodded, and ran to the back room with the basin of water.
Cheng Moyin looked at Lu Fan's back, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
