Chapter 191: The motive is unknown
Passing through the woods and over the artificial lake, Zilingers shook off his pursuers in the favor of the wind.
He looked around, intending to disguise himself as an escape by diving down the canal into the Tasok River, before turning and running into Hillston, the economic center of Beckland.
At this moment, a flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he saw that the various colors in the darkness had become extremely intense.
The turquoise trees are greener, the bright red fruits are more red, the dark water is darker, everything is like a canvas with oil paint.
And in the sky where the crimson moon is obscured, there are countless transparent shadows that are difficult to describe, and there are clear and clear lights of different colors that contain mysterious knowledge.
Zilingers found himself paused, floating in mid-air, with the rising dark water beneath his feet, and beneath the surface of the water, pale palms grasping outward.
Oops! Ziringers knew he was being ambushed by someone else.
And the strength of the ambusher is definitely not low!
In front of his eyes, a huge humanoid skeleton appeared, this monster was four meters tall, and the eye sockets were burning with pitch-black flames, and the white bones were illusory and hazy.
Zilingers stared at his enemy without emotion, a sneer on his lips.
At the same time, the glove on his left hand shone brightly, becoming as if it was made of pure gold.
Ziringers leaned back and spread his arms as if he were embracing the sun.
A pure, fiery light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the huge skeleton, and the entire painting-like world vibrated violently, and the pale palms beneath the dark water evaporated one after another.
This is the extraordinary ability of the "Priest of Light"!
This is the extraordinary ability of the "Sun" pathway Sequence 5!
This is the nemesis of the necromancers!
The brilliant pillar of light dissipated, and the pitch-black flames of the huge skeleton first in the eye socket were instantly extinguished, and then became transparent, dissipating into the air inch by inch.
Before Zilingers could use the power of the "Priest of Light" to break through the painting-like world again, his expression froze.
He saw another huge skeleton appear on his left, nearly four meters tall, with black flames burning in the eye sockets, exactly like the monster just now.
Immediately after, the same skeletal monsters sprang up one after another around Ziringus, one, two, three...... That's more than a hundred!
The hundreds of pairs of eyes burning with pitch-black flames simultaneously turned their gaze on their target.
Below, the dark water grew higher and higher, almost touching the soles of Ziringus' feet.
Pale, illusory palms grew out again, waving upwards in an attempt to grasp the straw that saved their lives.
............
"Spread out and chase and try to contain. Cardinal Ace Snake of the Church of the Storm commanded, and he rose into the air in a sudden hurricane and flew in the direction of Ziringus's escape.
Duke Negan and the others did not join the ranks of the "substitute punishers", holding their own identities, standing by the window, standing on the balcony and watching, and at this time, the ordinary nobles who were running around in a panic slowly calmed down.
Because of the darkness and the shouts and shouts, they did not know exactly what had happened, only that the Duke might have encountered an Assassin.
Gritting his teeth, Alger Wilson ran out of Duke Negan's mansion and around the opposite municipal park to Hilston.
Even if there is only a little hope, he does not want to miss it!
Suddenly, he heard a voice "carried" by the wind:
"No need to catch up. ”
Cardinal Snake voiced...... Alger ran a few more steps before he stopped, turning to look into the air in confusion.
He saw the woods and the man-made lake above, where Archbishop Snake, dressed in a black robe embroidered with the storm symbol, hovered and staring diagonally downward.
Alger frowned, not thinking about the reason, and ran to the cardinal's location at high speed.
As the distance closes, he sees more and more clearly with the help of the extraordinary ability of the "navigator".
The square face of the "Singer of the Gods" did not have the slightest expression, but his posture showed his solemnity, and the gray hair that came out from under the black soft hat swayed in the wind, setting off the extremely serious silver eyes.
Alger retracted his gaze and ran out of the woods.
His eyes suddenly appeared on the cold surface of the lake shimmering with crimson moonlight, and a tall figure appeared close to the water's edge.
The figure had a distinctive wide chin, brown hair tied back in the back of the head in the bun of an ancient samurai, and dark green eyes were cold and hollow.
Zillingers!
"Lieutenant General of the Hurricane" Zielingers!
Alger was stunned at first, then surprised and delighted, unable to believe his eyes, suspecting that the darkness had caused him to hallucinate.
Before he could react further, Huo Ran saw that Ziringus's face was rapidly rotting, rotten to the point that yellow-green pus was flowing out, and so rotten that flesh and blood were falling one by one.
Smack!
Zilingers' face was only white bones, and two hollow eyeballs broke out of the depression and smashed into the lake ground in no particular order.
With a click, Ziringus fell apart completely, and his clothes were spread on it, covering the rotting flesh and the bones of Bai Sensen, and the flickering brilliance.
In less than twenty seconds, Ziringus, one of the seven pirate generals, died in front of Alger in such a strange way.
The horrific scene is etched in Alger's mind, making him suspect that he is having a horrific nightmare.
What happened?
Didn't Ziringers successfully escape?
How could it be so strange to die here so simply?
What happened to him, that he lost his life in a short period of time......
He's the "Wind Bearer" of Sequence 6, and he's the master of the "Wriggling Hunger"!
Who did it?
Why kill Ziringers......
Just as Alger was uncontrollably flashing through his thoughts, he heard the magnetic voice of Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods":
"Did you share the information with anyone else?"
"Does anyone else know about this information itself?"
Alger regained his composure, looked at the corpse of Ziringus, and explained preparedly:
"As soon as I received the information, I reported it to you, the Archbishop. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: if Ace Snake hadn't gone for a walk by the Tasok River and spent a lot of time looking for him, Zielingers might not have been able to escape from Duke Negan's mansion at all!
Of course, he didn't dare to say such a grievance in front of a high-ranking powerhouse, so he could only respectfully and humbly continue to describe:
"The personnel who directly received the information even died because of this, and the people who were in transit did not open the letters, which I can confirm. ”
"But I can't be sure if the source of the information has been leaked, and if we can know, others may too. ”
As he spoke, Alger also guessed in his heart who killed "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Ziringus:
The person who entrusted Ziplingers to assassinate Duke Negan, or the organization, but since Chillingus had managed to escape, and there was no possibility of divulging anything, there was no reason to kill him...... If it were me, I'd let Ziringus lurk and assassinate him again before everyone thought he had escaped from Beckland......
And Zielingers has always only believed in himself, he will not tell anyone about the assassination plan in advance, Duke Negan has been holding meetings for several proposals in September recently, and there is no chance to worry about it, except for Zilingus himself, no one can be sure when and on what occasion he will do it...... Unless, unless that's a "prophet...... Probably low......
No other forces, Miss "Justice" found out the problem on the spot, and passed on the information by praying to Mr. "Fool", and it is impossible for an organization to get the news at the same time except us......
Mr. "Fool" ...... Alger was shocked and thought of a possibility:
It was Mr. Fool's family who made the shot!
He happened to be in Beckland, so he "just happened" to help!
The more Alger thought about it, the more he felt that this speculation was close to the truth:
Only the members and subordinates of the "Tarot Society" can know the information at the first time!
Only the family members of the "fool" can make people feel that things are weird and lack purpose!
As he thought about it, Archbishop Snake was silent for a moment, and then said to the other "substitutes" who came one after another:
"Ziringus is dead, and a high-level powerhouse has killed him, or he has used a seal of the same rank, but this is quite dangerous and unlikely. ”
"After preliminary observation, I think that it is a high-level powerhouse of the 'Reaper' path, maybe a member of the Spirit Order, but not the one I know, or a member of another secret organization. ”
"The motive is unknown. ”
Originating in the Southern Continent, the Spirit Order is said to have originated as a secret organization established by some descendants of the Grim Reaper in an attempt to resurrect the Grim Reaper, and after the Southern Continent was invaded and colonized, they were almost wiped out, but eventually survived tenaciously and developed into the countries of the Northern Continent.
High Sequence Strongman...... That's right, only a high-level powerhouse can take out Ziringus in such a short period of time! One of Mr. Fool's dependents is in the high-rank...... This is a "demigod"! Alger looked at the rotten flesh and bones again, and his whole state was very detached, as if he had lost all emotions, and was staring at everything in a daze.
If one day, I betray Mr. "Fool...... An idea popped into him.
Immediately, his mind immediately came up with the terrifying appearance of Zilingers's rapid decay just now.
Alger shuddered involuntarily and lowered his head.
At the same time, he relaxed.
Since you can't break away and it's hard to resist, you can only choose loyalty.
Call...... As soon as Ziringus died, no one threatened me with that secret anymore!, he exhaled, and settled down completely.
............
In Duke Negan's mansion, Audrey Hall, who was discussing the assassination with her mother and noble wives, saw her father with two beautiful mustaches appear at the door.
She found an excuse to leave the lounge and go out onto the balcony of the hall.
"Daddy, is there something wrong?" Audrey looked at Count Hall with emerald eyes.
Her eye color is inherited from her mother, not her father.
Earl Hall chuckled:
"It's settled, my child, you don't need to worry anymore. ”
"Hmm...... Did you tell anyone else that Baron Grammel was a fake?"
"Nope. Audrey shook her head resolutely.
I just told about a near-deity being...... She added silently in her heart.
She thought about it for a while, and then described it in two specific sentences:
"After telling you, I went to the bathroom first, and then I went to my mother, and you can ask her. ”
"Hmm. Earl Hall nodded slightly, and without further ado, he added, "Ziringus is dead, and he was killed. ”
"Who?" said Audrey, surprised and excited.
"I don't know, we can't even guess why the killer killed Ziringus, it's really incomprehensible. Earl Hall paused, "Maybe it's a person, maybe it's an organization, a secretive, powerful organization. ”
Can't guess the purpose...... Stealthy, powerful organization...... Could it be Mr. "Fool's"? Could it be our "Tarot Society"? Audrey suddenly realized.
