The Devil's Self-Cultivation The Devil's Road (4)

"Hiss--" Cole closed his eyes, "Videtur quod haec sit causa, magis quam excogitari ........." )

As for Roger, he was already too scared to speak.

“Quod sint omnia nova sanguinem, et tandem mortuus est voluntatis, non magis quam duo horas.“ (The blood is all fresh, and the deceased will not die for more than two hours.) Cole crouched down and took a closer look at a corpse.

“Qui fecerit ea ?!“ It took Roger a long time to recover.

(You stay away.) Cole stood up.

Roger didn't know why, but leaned back slightly.

Cole stretched out his finger and tapped it on his forehead, and his pupils turned blue in the blink of an eye.

Roger only felt cold and couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly.

Suddenly, the situation changed suddenly, and even a person like Roger, who was not very proficient in martial arts, could clearly perceive the drastic change in the magic power around him. And all this in Cole's eyes is a different picture.

The art of spiritual vision is one of the important means used by the government to restore the scene when the case is decided. This kind of magic can restore the changes in the magic of the surrounding environment to a large extent at the time of the crime, whether it is the magic circle or the magician, no magic flow can escape the eyes of the spiritual vision.

Cole frowned slightly. Most of the time, this vision is used to solve cases like secret rooms, and it doesn't seem to have much effect on cases where the way to die is very clear.

'Sunt sex homicidæ fuistis: Sapient duo V et VI Tier, exercitatissimi proposita sunt patet. There were six murderers, two 5th and 4th 6, well-trained and targeted, and it was supposed to be an organized and premeditated extermination operation. The cyan in Cole's eyes gradually receded, «Haec est notitia magnus effectus in facultatem ad expand scopum imperium quod inquisitio. Basically inutilis est nobis. Ite in domum, et vide.“ (This information is very useful to the government, which has the ability to expand the scope of the investigation, and is basically useless to us.) Let's take a look inside the house. )

The two of them circled around and came to the main hall.

As soon as he entered Nexcole, he noticed Orfield lying on the ground. After all, among the corpses in the room, only he was still dressed like an old man.

Cole walked over and looked over the body to examine it closely.

'Sunt' s obvious strangulations super collum humanæ animæ morticinum, et ... (The corpse had obvious strangulation marks on its neck, and...... Cole turned on the vision again, 'Hoc est homo adorti magicae'. )

“Magia? Tu sit Dominus Orfield erat magi, qui occisus est?“ (Magic? You mean it was a magician who killed Mr. Orfield?)

(Est Difficile est dicere, non possum statuere quinam sermones res sit in causa sui morte.) Cole turned his head to look at the round table beside him, "Est quia unum funem, ut strangulatus paleas mortuis?" (Is that straw rope the one that strangled the dead?)

“...... videtur“.(...... It seems to be. Roger took the rope.

“Hoc ... Ziluo? Ego memini hoc funem est quaedam paleas admodum partibus constans, ita stricta quid est hoc?“ (This is ...... I remember that this straw rope is very elastic, why is this so tight?)

"Sit aqua hujusmodi vinculum extenuetur obvium aquam". Roger said disapprovingly.

“Shrink sumus subtractionis filii in aqua in aqua ...? An videlicet fas est..."(shrinking in contact with water...... Is it ...... shrink when exposed to water? Cole patted his head, "Rogerus aquam vultus pro Sagas sagittiferosue prope?" (Roger, go find out if there are any water stains nearby?)

“Cur non vos vultus pro ea, nec passum est magnus in litore columnis sustentabatur.“ (What's the point of looking for it, No, there's a big beach under the pillars.) Roger shrugged.

(Sure enough.) Cole stood up, "Hoc est actualiter moratus occidere fabrica!" (This is actually a delayed killing device!)

“Quid ... Mors?“ (What...... Murder?) Roger looked confused.

'Lego plures similis sum files. Et alibi ad partum, et homicidæ fuistis multa huius generis uti mechanica machinam confundere mora temporis ad crimen. Mechanica machinam quia pura est, non Lingshi videatur ulla macula. (I've looked through a lot of similar files, and many murderers use this kind of mechanical time-lapse device to confuse the time of the crime in order to create alibi.) Because it's a purely mechanical device, the vision won't see any flaws. )

“Vos reprehendo lima ad voluntatem?“ (Can you look at the file at will?) Roger's eyes widened.

“... quid putes, suus 'iustus aliquid files relicta est, ut non relicta est.“ (...... What do you think, it's just some discarded dossier. "Si Im 'non erro, cognatus occisi non sit proprius usus funem ad in purpura volantium reformidant obnoxia patere aqua, et usus rerum, dissolvit ut glaciem creare moratus dies occisio." (If I'm not mistaken, the killer probably used the violet rope to shrink when it hits water, and used things like ice to create a time-lapse killing device.) )

“Non nonne certando Orfield Dominus?“ (Isn't that right? Wouldn't Mr. Orfield struggle?)

“Haec est simplex. Homicida non potest esse perfecte certus Quod medicina est Dominus Orfield praecipiendo Menghan in antecessum. Potest etiam probare quod reus sit omnium Dominus notus Orfield verisimile est. Sed..."(This is simple, the murderer can be completely solved by giving Mr. Orfield sweat medicine in advance, which can also prove that the murderer is most likely an acquaintance of Mr. Orfield.) But...... Cole frowned, 'Et dixit Dominus Orfield regis pependit in trabem de domo venit Iesus. Secundum uestigia interueniunt, constare potest, quod Dominus Orfield factitata strangulatus est mors in æqualitatem. Quomodo fecit surgere? You said that Mr. Orfield was hanging from the beams of the house when you came, and it is clear from the traces at the scene that Mr. Orfield was strangled under the pillars, how did he get there? If it was something like using a magic array, I should have discovered it a long time ago when I turned on my vision. )

“Veni huc et vide quid est hoc?“ Roger's voice rang out outside the house.

Cole was stunned for a moment, and then walked over.

“Hoc ... est a vacillatione trochleae ?!“ (This is ...... Pulley?!) Cole suddenly realized, "Hoc facit perfectum sensum. Et iste angulus est adversus trabes in domo. Et vidimus illarum hanc dominam trabibusque aut columnas sunt nimis smooth in superficiem. He does non postulo a vacillatione trochleae obstructionum, nisi certum trocleam et pertenuem videri. funem placide exaltabo Orfield, qui suffocata, ad mortem, ad trabem. Post haec, et quae est finis remotus sit rota. trochleae in manifesto installed temporarie et non est conveniens ut install vel removere ". This angle is facing the beams in the house, and I have just observed that the beams and columns are so smooth that he doesn't even need a pulley, just a fixed pulley and a very thin line to quietly hang the strangled Orfield onto the beam, and everything will be fine with the pulley afterwards. The pulley was obviously installed temporarily, making it easy to install and remove. Cole casually ejected a bolt of magic and knocked the pulley off.

“... est? Quis enim est suum? (So...... Who is the murderer?) Roger is still confused.

"Quod si me Dominus in urbe erant Tarot, ego solvere poterit casus in triduum". Cole gave him a blank look, 'Nostra facultatem esse limitatum, est pergere ad investigationes nullo modo nos can subsisto hic modo ". )

(...... Roger opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

“Bene, ut te respice aspice.“ (Okay, look at the way you look.) Coledow, "Nisi me fallit, in eo qui iam occisus Orfield mortuus est in area. Et est sensus, qui occisus est interfectores ulcisceretur Orfield post ostium in obliquo, et magnam habet rationem defensionis. (If I'm not mistaken, Orfield's killer is already dead in this yard.) In a sense, the killers who later destroyed the door can be regarded as indirectly avenging Orfield, and he can be regarded as a big revenge. )

«Quis putas est illis qui occidere ostium peribunt simul et cohors esse?“ (Who do you think are the people who killed the door?, could it be the gang?)

“Ego etsi hoc etiam videtur esse ad rem non cohors quod, secundum rationem, quia non facit sensu.“ (Although I also think that this matter may have something to do with the gangsters, it doesn't make sense logically.) "Ex hoc prospectu Orfield in modum mortem, hac re maxime intestinumque proelium in Orfield familia. Si cohors in Tarot urbe vult occidere, non esse tam molestum. Quod est quod volo dicere, homicida est plerumque mortuus est in stercore noto. est in. Quid suus 'ad cohors pede pulsat ad iterum! in cohors adhuc bene servetur in possessionem. numquid non ut tamquam cohors style nisi quia ... (Judging from the way Orfield died, this matter is mostly an internal conflict of the Orfield family, and the gang in Tarot City doesn't have to be so troublesome if they want to kill people, so I will say that most of the murderers have died in this courtyard.) What is the purpose of the gangster's intervention again? The property in this courtyard is still well preserved, this is not like the style of the gang? Unless...... )

“Quid ni?“ (Unless what?)

“Non de nihilo, lets 'adepto de hic. Quod suus' verisimile est res tantum, invenire non possumus". That's all we can find. )

“praeter plura.“ (And so on.) Roger interrupted him, 'Non curo aliis, sed est quaedam Orfield Dominus ad me. Ego vere potest non derelinquet eum degenerare se corporis sic. (I can leave no one else's alone, but Mr. Orfield is kind to me, and I can't bear to let him be exposed like this.) )

"Licet, prius te: Ego te expectabo hic". Cole waved his hand.

After Roger left, Cole stared at the huge courtyard and continued to think along the lines of his mind:

'Nisi abundaverit Orfield ... Hoc est simplex quod non videtur. Est aliquod ulterius in domo Orfield et cohors. (Unless...... This Orfield is not as simple as it seems, the entire Orfield family has some ulterior involvement with the gang, and they have to uproot the entire Orfield family for the sake of insurance. )

While Cole was thinking intently, he didn't notice that on the table just now, the jade that seemed to have nothing to do with the case and was directly ignored by him, suddenly moved.

On the way back, Roger was obviously not in a good mood, and Cole had no intention of comforting him, and the two were silent all the way.

“Sic paratus, ut relinquam primum Tarot urbe. ' (Prepare for it, I'm likely to leave Tarot City in the near future.) Cole suddenly remembered something, "Non opus invenire locum ubi potest fieri fortior me cito." (I urgently need to find a place where I can get stronger quickly.) )

“Convalescens ieiunium?“ Roger looked up, 'Videor scio quod non est Tarot in urbe necessario occurret illa vestra'. )

“Urbs Tarot? Non est hic?“ (Tarot City? right here?) Cole was stunned.

“Miror, si ego audivi de te, quoniam sanctus lacus ...?“ (I don't know if you've heard of it...... Holy Pool?)

(The Sacred Pool?is the place where the Elder Spirit Clan used to train their disciples??, and it reopened?) Cole was surprised.

The so-called sacred pond is a sacred place that stood here long before the construction of Tarot Castle. It is rumored that the sacred pool was a place for the Spirit Race to train its juniors, but no one has entered it since the fall of the Spirit Race. The Spirit Race has ruled the continent for 200,000 years, and the Blood Clan, the Werewolf Clan, the Giant Clan, the Wu Clan, etc. are all prostrate under their feet, if it weren't for the Red Rebellion that broke out five thousand years ago, I'm afraid there would be nothing to do with the Terran Race in this Gaplos Continent. (By the way, even now, the Terrans still can't be counted as the masters of the Gaplos continent, and the so-called 5 Great Empires actually only occupy the most central part of the continent, accounting for about 1/5 of the total area of the continent.) And if it weren't for the protection and protection of the so-called gods, they would not even be able to save the remaining 1/5. But the heritage accumulated over more than 200,000 years is undoubtedly a huge wealth, so the place where the relics of the Spirit Clan appear is the object of competition from all forces.

“Non cognovit filii nobilium iam sunt. ' (Don't you know? The nobles are already on their way.) Roger said with some surprise.

'Qui hic sunt? An non timebat non esse captus in ollam? (Are they here??not afraid of being served in a pot?) Cole pouted.

Tarot City, as a real place outside the law, naturally cannot only have gangsters. According to incomplete statistics, Tarot City is one of the places with the most frequent activities of alien creatures in the human realm on the entire continent. Although due to the restrictions of the gods, real super-level monsters will not appear in the human realm, but even a few small fish and shrimp are enough for these pampered nobles to drink a pot.

“Utique multa sunt estis.“ (Naturally, there are masters to accompany you.) There was a look of envy in Roger's eyes, "Si mutare aliis reliquiis, qui familiae erit naturaliter Ne familia, iuvenes veniunt ad metus, et in factum, mittens per paucos magistros operum, ut dissipaturus reliquias. Sed hoc sancti piscina habet ad sui protectionem mechanism, et fortiter grabbing et thesauros tuos in causa sui-exitium. populus nimis vires et potest non adepto in, primum in iudicium non plus huic terram pro animum ad iuvenes hominum genus est, et non est tantum periculum tenet adeo suus 'ius experiri. (If it were replaced by other ruins, those families would naturally not let the juniors of the family come to take risks, and directly sent a few masters to demolish the ruins and it would be over.) But this holy pool has a self-protection mechanism, forcibly grabbing the treasure will cause self-destruction, and people who are too strong can't enter, plus this is originally a testing ground for the younger generation of the spirit race, and there is no great danger, so it is the right to practice. )

'Haec quidem sanctus est a bonus locus ut amplio viribus stagnum ". Cole muttered, "Quando enim conversus est non?" (When will it be opened?)

“In die crastino. Sed si vos volo impetro in, et paulo molesta esset ei, quod ad iudicium extremum aperuit quattuor claves quae iam cecidere manus Carlo Auction Domus". However, it may be a bit of a hassle to get in, as the four keys to the final trial are now in the hands of Carlo's auction house. )

“Carlo Auction Domus?“ (Caro Auction House?)

“Quod suus 'tantum auction domus in Tarot urbe. In tali Orcorum tenebrarum locus, si dominus non habent fortitudinem, erit difficile est negotium procedere Northmanni, praesertim in auction domus, quia non potest praestare normalis repono auctio items. Hoc auction domus Nam sit communis plurium greges magnos qui hodie supersunt. (It was the only auction house in the entire city of Tarot.) In such a chaotic place, it is very difficult for the owner to run business normally if the owner does not have the strength, and this is especially true for the auction house, because you can't even guarantee the normal storage of the auction items. This auction house is actually the common property of several big gangsters that survives to this day. )

“Tales enim calidum Capsicum annuum, nimirum illi quidem licet servare in illum manus quia nimis longum est, ius?“ (Such a hot potato, presumably they don't dare to keep it in their hands for too long, right?)

(Tomorrow they will be auctioned.) Roger scratched his head.

“Abeamus.“ (Let's go.) Cole wasn't talking.

Another day passed.

"Heus, surgere" (Hey, get up!) Cole smashed a piece of clothing into Zhang Tianhao's face, "Mittite virum in habitu." (Put this dress on.) )

"Quid......" (What...... Roger sat up in a daze, 'Ubi hoc habitu accipere?' (Where did you get these clothes?)

“Tu non opus ut fatigo super eam. Vos iustus postulo scio ut vos potest adepto in ostium ad auction domus super te, veste.“ (You don't have to worry about that, you just need to know that the dress you have won't get through the auction house at all.) Cole said nonchalantly, "Festinate, et ponet illud in auction est de incipere. (Put it on, the auction is about to begin.) )

(...... )

Walking in the splendid VIP passage, Zhang Tianhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Although he had heard of the luxury inside the auction house before, Roger felt that he didn't know how to write the word "rich" until today. Fortunately, he had a mask on his face, otherwise his expression would have been suspicious if his net worth was more than the dress he was wearing.

Cole didn't feel anything, after all, he came out of the capital, and it couldn't catch up with half the luxury of the Field family.

The receptionist dropped them off in a private room and withdrew. Roger immediately began to look around, and Cole sat down and closed his eyes. He had other things to do before what he wanted came out.

After about half a pillar of incense, Cole reopened his eyes. He had just used his divine sense to probe the rest of the private rooms around him, and as he had thought, he had sensed a lot of familiar information.

“Et quis in archa est certus Arthur occidens et orientis, in una ... Rom de Noch videtur esse in doctrina? Sicut de aliis, nisi ille qui est directe oppositum, paulo nota sunt. nemo, videtur quod sint protegens iuvenes dominum suum in tenebris, aliter ego nunquam esse potest ad placide instar sicco situ modo huc modo. (The one in the box on the west side is definitely Arthur, and the one on the east side is ...... As for the others, they were completely unrecognizable except for the one directly across from them, who were a little familiar. However, there is no one at the level of the big guy, and it seems that they are all protecting their little masters in the dark, otherwise there is absolutely no way for me to quietly feel the situation here just now. )

"Tolle eam a dum ad somnum, hoc quoque in genere deprehendendi numquam exhausti satis est. (Forget it, let's sleep for a while, this kind of probing is too exhausting.) Cole yawned and fell asleep in his chair.

I don't know how long it took, Roger woke him up:

"Surge, clavem ad piscinam sanctus esse coepit auctioned"

Cole rubbed his eyes and sat up sleepily.

"Post hoc autem dicendum est de ultima auction items dum ipsa cellula compleatur, scilicet multos esse VIPs etiam hic per illum". The enchanting auctioneer said in a sweet voice, 'Ipse et unus ex quattuor abierunt per multos labores adepti sunt claves, ut thesaurum, eiusque extremum iudicii potest aperire piscinam fabulosus sanctae. 20000 In incipiens pretium est nummos auri (He is also one of the four keys that we have worked so hard to obtain to unlock the final trial of the legendary sacred pool, with a starting price of 20,000 gold coins!)

'Viginti quinque milia! (Twenty-five thousand!)

“Lam triginta milibus!“ (30,000!)

'Quinquaginta milia! (50,000!)

In an instant, the price skyrocketed to 80,000 gold coins. Many people may earn only a tenth of that amount in their lifetime.

“Centum milia!“ (100,000!) A strong voice came from the second private room.

"Ille est......" (that's ...... Cole narrowed his eyes, "Leo?"

'Decem milia et unum centum' (110,000!) Nooch in the box next door to Cole was not to be outdone.

“Unum triginta et centum milia!“ (130,000!) A female voice came.

Everyone looked at the third private room.

"Milia ducenti" (200,000!)

The audience shook.

“Puer satis magnum est ... Arthur". (Arthur the boy...... It's quite big. Cole was stunned for a moment.

“Duo milia centum iterum!“ (200,000 once!)

No one answered.

"Bis mille ducentis '(200,000 twice!)

Still no one answered. 200,000 has clearly reached the ceiling.

"Duo tria milia ducenti ..."(200,300...... The auctioneer's hammer was about to fall, and another crisp girl interrupted him:

"Milia ducenti" (210,000!)

Everyone turned their heads to look at the masked woman in room eight, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Milia ducenti" (two hundred and twenty thousand!) Arthur also frowned.

"Ducentorum triginta! (Two hundred and thirty thousand!) The masked woman had no intention of giving up.

"Mille ducenti quinquaginta! (Two hundred and fifty thousand!) Arthur gritted his teeth and raised the number a little more.

“Heus, hic illa non est mulier in fidem suam interposuisse ad auction domus?“ (Tsk, that woman can't be the trust of the auction house, right?) Cole stared intently at room eight.

Fortunately, the masked woman didn't follow up, and the first key ended up in Arthur's hands.

The competition for the next three keys became more intense, and in the end, room 4, room 1 and room 8 each won one.

“Eamus, ad propositum effectum est.“ (Let's go, the purpose has been achieved.) Cole turned and left the private room.

Roger hurried to follow.

On the second day, a large crowd gathered early in the morning before the sacred pool

Among them, the few people standing in front are particularly eye-catching.

«Deus meus ut virum tam pulchrum," (Oh my God, that man is so pretty!) Roger looked amazed.

(The word "pretty" should not be used for men. 'Id est Imperii Moho de semine regio, et ibi vento: nullusque locus de familia. (That's the royal family of the Moho Empire, and there is no trace of the Feng family.) )

“Non ventus in ore?“ Roger repeats the name intermittently, "Quid est hoc nomen, et infers?" (Why is the name so weird?)

yes, it sounds like a Kaldia. Cole yawned, "Quis scit?" (Who knows?)

“Gloria ... Erdia? Ubi est?“ (Card...... What is that?)

“...... Nihil suus.“ (...... It's nothing. Cole then remembered that Caldia's existence was highly classified for civilians, 'Pro patria, ubi sunt viri superior est, quod aliud est inconveniens?' (What else is unacceptable for a man in a country where women are inferior to men?)

“Huh? Quare sunt tot hic? Rem uno tantum ex tribus major religionis dissensiones, sectæ, et solus regiis unus ex quattuor milibus?“ (Eh, why are there so many?The three major sects only have one rem sect, and the four major royal families have only one?) Roger suddenly noticed a problem.

“Maior De tribus sectis occupatus pugnam inter se sunt. Nam reliquae familiae regiis tres ... ......Exspiravit enim sciunt quid faciunt". The devil knows what they're doing. Cole said lazily.

"Sed ......" (but...... Before Roger could finish speaking, a huge sense of coercion fell from the sky, suppressing the remaining half of his sentence.

In the sky, several formidable figures stood in the air, quieting the restless crowd abruptly.

Rem Et dux qui est principium creaturae Moho sunt ergo principes familiarum, Feng Wushuang, fere omnibus adest. Cole lowered his head and tightened the mask on his face.

“A paucis vehementer exercuit, Longze et habere amisit per multum tempus. Placere parce mihi". )

Quod per "principem". The Rem Sect leader bowed, and Feng Wushuang only bowed slightly.

The smile on Carol's face froze visibly as she shifted her gaze to Feng Wushuang's face.

“... Quia omnes iuniores postero hic quod sit sancta et stagnum et aperuit.“ (...... Now that the juniors have arrived, this holy pool should also be opened. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately shifted his gaze to the quaint and magnificent palace, and tapped his finger in the air.

Click.

With a slight cracking sound, the palace gates burst open.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and when they rushed towards the gate, the scene was spectacular.

(I'm gone, too.) Kele whispered to Zhang Tianhao and said, (I don't know when I will come out, you don't have to wait for me, we will have a date later.) )

Without giving Roger time to react, Cole turned into a streamer and joined the crowd marching towards the Sacred Pool.

......

Cole looked at everything in front of him in shock. Probably no one expected that there would be a cave in the small palace.

What appeared in front of Cole was clearly a vast grassland.

“... Super hoc iam magica, ius?“ (...... This is already superposition magic, right?) Cole said with emotion.

As soon as Cole took a step, a few lines of large golden letters suddenly burst into his mind.

“Maior, gratulor vobis prospere ingressum lacus. Deinde tempore ablatum fuerit iuge sancti lacus custodibus. Congratulations on your successful entry into the Sacred Pool, Trialists. In the rest of the time, you will be tested by the Guardians of the Sacred Pool, and if you want to open the Sacred Pool, you must kill 100 Sacred Pool Guardians in half a day to enter. )

'La ... (tsk...... Cole looked up and said, «Quae sanctorum stagnum carcere? Ubi enim est iste?“ (What Sacred Pool Guards??Where's This?)

Rumble!

Several black shadows appeared behind Cole like soldiers descending from the sky, knocking the unsuspecting Cole directly away.

“Fortuna! Hoc est initium ?! (I'm x!, and this begins?!)

......

The wind clapped its hands without a trace, knocking off the dust stuck to the gloves. At his feet, metal fragments piled up.

"Young magister Feng modum esse bonam"

“Nocky?“ (Knuckle?) Wind Without a Trace turned around, looking confused.
