Chapter 226: Behind Bars

At this time, Lin Qian had already arrived in Flame City and asked a middle-aged passer-by who was also dressed as a magician to inquire about the location of the Alan family.

"Your Excellency is also going to mourn, right? Come with me. Passers-by sighed, muttering something about the untimely death, the jealousy of talents, and so on.

Lin Qian forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart, followed him through a few streets, and sure enough, he arrived at a large manor covered with black cloth.

"Two guests, please report your name. A housekeeper dressed in mourning clothes came up and asked.

"In the Lower Hebrew, he was a friend of the young patriarch before his death, but unfortunately ......"

"It turned out to be the Hebrew patriarch, please come in. The butler sighed and invited him in.

Lin Qian didn't know the situation at this time, but this Alan was young, and the two met a few days ago, and now they died mysteriously, what the hell is going on.

"In Lower Robinson, I met the young patriarch only a few days ago. To be honest, I came to the young patriarch this time to discuss something, and I didn't know the news of the young patriarch's violent death. Lin Qian stepped forward and decided to tell the truth.

The housekeeper's face was startled, and he looked left and right to see that no one was around, and then asked in a low voice, "But ...... Lin"

Lin Qian nodded, it turned out that Alan had already explained.

The butler said quietly, "Follow me." ”

The two walked into a corner of the courtyard, and the old butler knelt down with a thud, and handed out a letter from his hand, and it was Allen.

"President Lin, the patriarch has explained before, if he has an accident, he must wait until you appear and hand over this letter to you personally. ”

"Please get up!" Lin Qian hurriedly helped him up, and asked him what happened while reading the letter.

"The patriarch should have been killed last night, and this morning the people found him tragically dead in the room, and the whole clan has been sent to the magic city to issue an announcement to arrest the murderer. ”

Lin Qian frowned slightly, not to mention how much information was mixed in the housekeeper's words, the content of this letter really surprised him.

"President Lin, see me as if I were in my heart. You are very admirable, and it is for this reason that I am compelled to tell you the facts.

"Ten days ago, I was meeting with an old friend in Takayama Castle and was attacked by a man in a cloak, and after I escaped, I followed him all the way to the mountains outside the city. He climbed to the top of the hill and plunged into the mist, and I did not doubt him, and went down, not finding any trace of him, but finding the ruins.

"I thought it was the thief's hiding place, so I summoned the rest of my family to besiege him, only to find that only the next person could enter, and there was an enchantment that I had never seen before. Because I didn't dare to act rashly, I ordered someone to cover the entrance of the cave with stones, and personally went to the magic city to issue a mission.

What happened later is the fact that President Lin has personally experienced. But after leaving, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. First of all, that person is dressed like the elves around you, and his head is covered tightly, and secondly, if that person has the strength of level eight, how can he not be able to sneak attack, and finally, one of the clay figures I broke that day seemed to be broken and reglued, but I didn't care about it at the time.

"Back in the family, I have a feeling of being targeted, I think about it, and find that this matter is not aimed at you, but to lure you out, as for why he didn't make a secret move, it must be because of the strength you showed. I sent someone to tell you the truth, but the person sent sent didn't hear from you, so I had no choice but to write a letter to my henchmen for safekeeping, hoping that you could avoid this catastrophe when you came. ”

Lin Qian closed the envelope and asked the housekeeper again, "Did the young patriarch say yesterday that he was going to the Magic City?"

The old butler snorted and nodded.

"I see!"

This matter is a conspiracy against him through and through, and the people behind him know that sooner or later he will come to Fire City to meet Allen, and try to prevent himself from knowing the truth. Alan was brutally murdered by him because he was in a hurry to inform himself, and even planned to go to the magic city in person. But because of Allen's death, the murderer couldn't stop all the clansmen who went to the magic city to issue a bounty, and whether Lin Qian came or not became a huge variable.

It can be said that Young Patriarch Allen used his death to make a final effort for Lin Qian's safety, but people are not as good as heaven, Lin Qian set off a few hours early, and he missed the bounty. Moreover, Lin Qian guessed that the reason why he didn't do it for the first time was probably not because he was afraid of his own ability, but because he was afraid of the girl Fradai. This time, Fradai ...... And they didn't follow.

"I think even if I don't want to take care of this, that murderer won't let me go, we have been here for so long, he should have ...... long ago"

Before Lin Qian finished speaking, the old butler fell straight in front of him, and turned back suddenly, the courtyard was already empty, everyone had disappeared, only the black cloth on the wall swayed in the wind.

Curtis...... I have the impression of this person, he has only been a mercenary for a month, and he has been promoted to the S rank, and he is a kind old man, and he has always spoken softly. ”

"He usually goes alone, not with other mercenaries, nor does he join any mercenary groups, and his family is ...... There doesn't seem to be any mention of anyone. Madam, you know that we will pay special attention to the mercenary when he reaches the S-rank, but he has not been promoted to the S-level for a long time, and he has not had time to ask. ”

"I remember the first time he came, he was a little nervous, looking around, I was also surprised that an old man was a first-time registered mercenary, and he didn't understand many rules, after all, our magic guild has been open for two years. After that, he became more and more relaxed, and he was no longer afraid of contact with other people. ”

"He hasn't been here for a few days, I heard that he is sick, and I don't know if he can stand it at such an age. I've heard that he often runs to Takayama Castle, and it seems that he lives there. ”

Ysera is collecting information about Curtis, and she is almost certain that this Curtis is problematic, and he is very powerful, and he may even be the mastermind of this matter. With Fradai here, as long as he can catch up, Lin Lang should be safe, and it is redundant to go by himself, so simply go to Alpine City to check it out.

The dragon clan doesn't know magic, but it doesn't affect her use of the teleportation magic array, but it costs dozens of times more crystals for ordinary people. Isera went out of the city, and instead of swaggering through the air, he looked around at the foot of the mountain. Her sensing power was completely emanated, and within a radius of several hundred meters, the breath of any creature could not escape her control, so she circled around the mountain and finally gained something.

On the steeper side of the hill, three hundred meters high, there is a cave surrounded by the breath of powerful creatures, which seems to be a sentry post. Holding her breath, Ysera cautiously climbed up the cliff, and a few dozen meters from the entrance of the cave, she saw two elves with long ears, and could even hear their conversation.

"I don't know if it will succeed this time, the Great Elder doesn't care about us anymore, why do you think he wants revenge?"

"Don't talk about it, be careful, when this happens, he will blame you for everything, the dead man, and don't forget, our ultimate goal is the Queen. ”

"But the current situation of the elf race, is it really what the elf goddess wants to see?"

"The goddess is high, she can't control so much, and besides, she doesn't know how long it will take to break the seal, and she can't see what we're doing now. ”

These two elves are average, but there are several power fluctuations in the cave that are comparable to their own strength, Ysera did not take it easy, quietly remembered this location, and slowly climbed down the cliff.

Now, she has basically figured out the situation of the enemy, if the elf queen is not crazy, then the only thing behind this force is -

"The Third Elder of the Elf Clan?" Lin Qian looked at an elven old man in front of him, a little incredulous.

"Maybe you can call me Curtis, too. The three elders didn't smile, and even if they laughed, they were very stiff.

Lin Qian slapped his head and pretended to be a little regretful and said, "I should have found out your identity after I went back, but I didn't expect that you disguised yourself as a human and rarely showed flaws. ”

The Third Elder was a little unconvinced, and he thought that he had done well enough: "Could it be that you already had doubts before?"

Lin Qian smiled indifferently, thinking that if Lao Tzu had suspected it a long time ago, how could he come over to send him to death, but now in order to delay time, it would be better to deceive him.

After racking his brains and searching for a long time, Lin Qian said unhurriedly: "It's just a little guess." You don't show any magical abilities in the team, it's purely for the sake of watching a show, you're not interested in money, you're not interested in spell books, and you're even just going through a process in disguise. Imagine a high-level magician who has no desires, why would he do such a risky thing as a mercenary? Moreover, your dignified S-level mercenary does not have a single thing that belongs to a magician, either you are really poor to the point of home, or you are not disdainful or accustomed to using foreign objects, which is not what an S-class mercenary should have. ”

"Finished?" The third elder probably also found the inconsistency in Lin Qian's words and knew his purpose.

"Say...... Finished. Lin Qian really couldn't make up anything, and said, "But I have a question, why do you know where that ruin is?"

"Because of me!"

An elven woman with blond hair appeared from the courtyard, and she looked at Lin Qian with deep hatred.

"Mei ...... Lil?" everything Lin Qian encountered today was far beyond his expectations.

"You're the elf who lured Eren to the ruins that day?" He completely understood why Eren was a little strange when he first saw Fradai's outfit, and he was stunned for a long time after knowing that she was an elf, because he had seen Meryl's elf outfit before, and it should be somewhat similar to Fradai.

"Not bad. You should know that this is where my father began, and he accidentally mentioned a high mountain, and I, from your magic city to the east, found it after only the first mountain. Meryl said coldly.

"Where's the teacher?" Lin Qian sighed, his "senior sister" wanted to kill him with the help of the third elder, all of this should have been done without hiding from the teacher.

"You still have the face to call him Sensei?" Meryl's eyes swelled with anger.

"Alright, good niece, don't waste time with him. There is a girl under him who is very strong, let's go up together, hurry up and kill him, and take his head to the grave of the eldest brother to worship earlier. The third elder urged impatiently.

"Wait!" Lin Qian asked with a trembling lip and disbelieving, "You...... What did you just say? Your big brother...... My teacher...... Teacher he ...... He's dead?"
