Exhaling, Sullivan looked indifferently at the crowd coming and going outside the station.

After all, this should be the second time he has left the Rainbow Tower this year, Sullivan thought, and he looked at the address in his hand again.

"Mr. Sullivan, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as they walked out of the station, several men in robes greeted them with smiles on their faces, and around them, the crowd walked around, not daring to disturb these mages, presumably they were the head of the local magic association, a five-ring mage came, such a pomp was already put on by Sullivan after he specially told him not to make a noise, if it was usual, I am afraid that he would have to put up a lantern and put out a banner to greet him.

"I'm only traveling for personal reasons this time, so I don't have to go through the hassle."

Sullivan whispered, he didn't even ask for the other person's name.

"Do you have the materials I want?"

"Yes, yes, we've been ready for a long time, it's just ......"

The mage at the head looked embarrassed and hesitant.

"If you have something to say, just say it, no need to detour!"

Sullivan scolded, he hated this kind of flickering rhetoric that was tainted with the habits of politicians, and there was not so much social rhetoric in the Rainbow Tower.

"My lord, there was a vicious incident in Sur Town two days ago, and there are no survivors ...... yet"

"What !?"

Hearing the other party's words, Sullivan's eyes widened.

"That's ......"

The head of the Magic Association told the story as he walked.

At first, some merchants who had business dealings with the people of Sur noticed that they often bought cheap livestock meat products from Sur, but there was no news for several days, so they went to Sur to check on the situation.

Outsiders are not welcome in Sur Town, and outsiders are reluctant to come here, so when these merchants come to Sur Town, they find that something big has happened.

The once picturesque town had been burned by a fire, and the charred corpses scattered between the dark ruins should have burned for days until there was nothing left to burn.

Originally, the merchants thought it was an accident, but soon, near the well, they found some unburned corpses, and these corpses had severe blunt or sharp wounds, apparently fatal.

Things get confusing, and it's clear that this is a case of murder.

The mystery didn't last long, though, and the sheriff soon found the killer.

In the field, about a dozen miles east of the town of Sur, there were several young men with the corpses of the horses they were riding.

They lay on their backs on the withered grass, without any fatal wounds, only skin festering to varying degrees.

As soon as the sheriff approached the scene of the crime, he felt a strong release of energy, so he immediately cordoned off the scene.

At this point, comparing the list of people in Sur Town, the sheriff found that all the townspeople in this town had suffered a tragic accident, and no one survived.

These are the things that happened yesterday, and Sullivan's arrival has finally made the people of the Magic Guild finally find a savior.

"Energy release?"

Sullivan frowned slightly, could it be some kind of magic prop, made by Keralvin?

"By the way, Kelavin. And what about Nabistin, who also died in an accident? ”

"No, actually, Kelavin. Nabistin was dead before the accident, and we found his and his wife's graves outside the town of Sur, the only tower that had not burned down. ”

The mage replied, not daring to look up at Sullivan's expression, although he was the head of a city's magic association, but after all, he was only a three-ring mage, and it was difficult to have any hope of promotion before he came out of the Rainbow Tower, at this time, facing the mid-level mage of the five rings, Sullivan, naturally seemed to be much respectful.

"Already dead?"

Sullivan suddenly stopped, frozen in place.

"That's right, the Society originally had a doctor in Sur Town, and he brought back a death report of Kelaven, and the mage seems to have a strange disease."

Hearing the other party's words, Sullivan immediately sensed a hint of something unusual.

"Take me to the death report."

The person in charge of the Magic Association naturally did not dare to refuse, and immediately took Sullivan to the archives of the association's headquarters and found Keralvin. Nabistin's death report and pathology report, which had been sent by Dr. Phyllis a few days ago.

Flipping through Kelavin's death report, the expression on Sullivan's face became more and more gloomy.

"I've seen this symptom in my paper, and the two elements that Lady Maria studied can cause this kind of lesion to occur in the surrounding creatures, and only a magical barrier above the four rings can resist such erosion."

Sullivan said, jotting it down in his notebook.

"Wait, you just said that there was a strong release of energy at the scene of the death of those young people?"

He asked suddenly, sending a shiver to the bewildered head of the Magic Association.

"Yes, yes."

"Damn, is Kelaven studying this elemental?"

Sullivan had already connected the dots at this point, and he understood that studying this element without protection was tantamount to suicide, and why would Kelaven do it?

"Let's go and see the site where the energy is released."

Without stopping, Sullivan immediately took a carriage to the scene of the accident, because no one dared to approach, and the weather was hot, so the corpses of these young people had already decomposed, emitting a disgusting stench, Sullivan opened the magic barrier, isolated the stench, and approached the scene.

In the quiet air, the killing machine lurks.

A strong wave of energy struck his magical barriers, and these deadly energies tried to tear Sullivan's walls apart, but to no avail, they could only surround it.

"This feeling is indeed ......"

Sullivan scanned the ugly corpses, and finally found an open, black box in the arms of one of them.

There was a pitch-black stone in the box, which Sullivan picked up with a mage's hand and unleashed an identification technique.

He was a little surprised by the results, because it was nothing else, but naturally occurring Reddier ore!!

Discovered and named by Lady Maria ten years ago, this element has the property of releasing energy outward, and there are still many unsolved mysteries waiting for mages to study on its body, but because the energy it releases is enough to kill most people, including low-level mages, it can only rely on mid-level and high-level mages to push it.

"It's just that the Redtier element takes effect very quickly, and it shouldn't be able to carry it for so long before there is a problem......"

Sullivan thought that these dead were ordinary people, and there was no way to resist their energy, and it was impossible for them to leave Sur Town so far away with the ore.

"Unless there is some way to stop this energy from leaking out......"

His gaze wandered to the black box that had originally contained the ore.
