Chapter 117: The Smith Master's Wrath
In a luxurious manor, a half-hundred-hundred-man with wolf eyes, hooked nose, and gray temples was sitting in the study studying magic, and ← was holding a record scroll on it, on which was the cultivation method that Dean Will had reformed.
"The nobles are getting more and more slack now, only thinking about the glory of the nobles, but forgetting that the glory comes from the strength of the magic academy is getting more and more progressive, and there are more and more middle-level magicians among the commoners, it's ridiculous that the nobles of these kingdoms still think that their status remains unchanged!"
The more the man spoke, the more atmospheric he became, and he couldn't help but slap the table with a "snap", "Magic is always more practical than quality, and the nobles are immersed in the ancestral high-grade cultivation method, and they don't know that the civilian mages are closing the distance between each other. ”
"The head of the Smith family, you are also a nobleman, you have even scolded yourself......" said a middle-aged man with a flirtatious temperament next to him← he is not young, but his dress is really unusual, and his temperament is very exaggerated.
"Brian, you don't talk too much, how can the current situation make me not anxious? In the whole family, only me and the second uncle are high-level magicians, even if you add an external elder, there are only three, and the second uncle is already old∫ too many people in this generation are obsessed with enjoyment, cling to the old magic, and have no enterprising spirit at all! Even my two sons are the same, completely forgetting their ancestors' persistent pursuit of magic!"
This majestic man is the current head of the Smith family, and he is worried about the family's decline.
"It's not your family, why are you anxious? You nobles can maintain their status for at least three to five hundred years, and you won't live for that time, so you don't need to worry. The pompous man teased mercilessly.
He is the Smith family's outer elder, Brian. The nobles would accept qualified civilian mages to expand the family's strength, and Brian was one of them. However, some of these people worked hard at the junior level, and the other part had a certain status and managed certain things at the intermediate level.
The exception is Brian, who has become a high-level magician with a little training from Smith. Regardless of the magic equipment, Smith couldn't say that he was better than him, so he didn't care about Brian's presumptuousness.
"The master of the family, Deacon Nick of the adventurer town asks to see you!" was really as the two were discussing, and the voice of the servant's announcement came from outside the door.
"Adventurer Town, what can be the problem there? It's nothing more than a matter of income fluctuations, the family has a lot of money, and there is not much more, it's all inconsequential!" said the head of the Smith family a little impatiently.
"Nick, that old guy, I know, half of the people in the ground, don't move around without important things. It stands to reason that there really isn't anything important there, so what is he here for?" Brian was also a little puzzled.
"Let him in!" The head of the Smith family ordered to go down ← conversation was interrupted, naturally he would not be happy← he intended to change the status quo of the family, and Brian could help him, but unfortunately Brian was a lazy guy, and this kind of troublesome thing has always been kept away, forcing him to say that it was meaningless, but would hurt his feelings.
"Deacon Nick, what's the matter with you coming all the way here? Could it be that you've been attacked by a beast tide?"
"Nick meets the head of the house. "Nick was about to bow when he got down on one knee, but he was old and frail, and he had some mobility problems.
"Excuse me, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand up if you kneel, so say something quickly!" said the head of the Smith family.
When Nick heard this, he knelt on his knees and said tremblingly: "Master of the family, the second young master, he, he is missing!"
"What's going on? Isn't he studying at the Academy? How did he get there!" the Smith family head stood up with a sigh, in a place like Adventurer's Town, this disappearance was eighty percent wrong.
"The head of the family, the second young master, he received the family's arrangement to take over the shop business in the adventurer town. Originally, nothing had happened, but the day before yesterday, the young master went out in a hurry alone, and then disappeared! There was a fire in the town at that time, and the subordinates suspected that it was related to the disappearance of the second young master. ”
"How can this be done! If you don't wait for a good academy, where are you going to do something?Also, who revealed my arrangement in advance?" The head of the Smith family was furious, although it was his arrangement, it didn't mean that the people below could reveal it privately.
In addition to his anger, the head of the Smith family couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness welling up in his heart. Although Clyde's qualifications are not good, he is his own son after all, and letting him go to the magic academy by himself is to eliminate the stability he can live± the nobles of the family are not a paradise to do as they please, and if they accept the resources of the family, they will have to do what the family arranges. Clyde is hard to achieve big, and spending too much inevitably means paying more.
"Check! I must find out, my son can't just disappear for no reason. Brian, this matter will be handed over to you, you must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death! In addition, I will find out the person who has secretly revealed my arrangement, and I will deal with it myself!"
The head of the family was furious, the family was silent, no one wanted to provoke a strong man who might have lost his son, this was a big incident that the entire family had not encountered for a long time∴ the Hui Kingdom was located in the northwest region of the continent, a Sunset Mountain Range blocked most of the northwest borders, and the southeast was the Holy Empire and its other subsidiary kingdoms ♀, which made the Afterglow Kingdom relatively stable, so that the death of a nobleman became a sensation.
"Obey!" Brian usually hangs his son, but after receiving the clear order of the head of the family, he becomes insincere, and the task is the task, Brian has always been clear, which is why the head of the Smith family allows him to be presumptuous on weekdays.
"Go, if Clyde is all right, bring him back, and if something really happens, bring him back, and of course, the man who killed him!"
"Before the aristocracy declines, there are already people who dare to attack the nobility∫ will let everyone here know that the nobility is still the master of this land!"
......
After receiving the clear order from the head of the family, Brian set off to the adventurer's town to check on the situation. For high-level magicians, there are already more means to speed up their travel. The fire type senior magician still doesn't have flying magic in the true sense, but there are still similar flying abilities' Seeing a pair of wing-like magic tools faintly appearing behind him, four flames erupted along the tools, and Brian flew away like this.
In less than three hours, Brian had already arrived at the adventurer's town← took out a magic item that Clyde had used, and the magic power in his hand surged, the magic item was quickly damaged, and a faint magic power came out of it. Brian took out a few fire-based magic crystals and crushed them with magic power, extracted the magic inside and used them to strengthen this wisp of Clyde's magic power≈ a magic array lit up, and this magic began to surge, as if looking for the same source of magic power.
"I can't even feel it! This situation is either buried far away, or completely destroyed. It's not going to be easy!" Bryan sighed, a situation that almost certainly confirmed Clyde's death. Brian thought of the fire incident that Deacon Nick had mentioned and decided to go to the scene of the crime.
After going to several places in a row, Brian found nothing, and finally he came to the scene of the original crime.
"There is movement, it seems that it is indeed here, looking at this situation, I am afraid that the corpse will be destroyed and the prostitute will be exterminated. "Brian walked into the burnt warehouse and found that the wisp of magic had moved" was a mixed ground at the moment, and Brian didn't know what was going on.
"There is no phenomenon of magic power fluctuations, isn't it very fire-related? There is another place, go and take a look, if not, you can only ask the people here, there is a clue to dissipate, otherwise this matter will be really troublesome!"
Brian made his way to the site of the last fire, which was the most severely burned and barely visible, and the surrounding buildings were also affected.
"Huh, there's movement!"
I saw that the wisp of magic in Brian's hand suddenly moved, and Brian hurriedly urged the magic power to make the pointing more clear.
"That's right, it's just that why is the breath so weak, could it be that the bones are burned to ashes? Now the head of the family doesn't know what to be angry about, and his son is killed and he can't even find the bones. Brian frowned, as if sensing something.
"This dark trace of magic?" Brian felt it carefully, and found that the trace was faint, and he couldn't guess it based on a little feeling.
"Trouble, it seems that this kid Clyde is really dead, I still have to help him find the murderer∫ the murderer's time-consuming and brain-consuming work is the most annoying! I don't know who did it, don't let me catch you, otherwise I won't let you die too happily, dare to find something to do for Uncle Ben!"
The matter has reached an eyebrow here, the person is indeed dead, and it is related to this fire, the small town security team, the controller of the commercial street, and the subordinates ♀ of the family should be able to ask something, as long as there is a clue, then the matter will be easy to do.
As soon as he said he would do it, Brian first approached the Smith family's store director. Omar was the biggest talker here after Nick left, and Brian, as the great elder of the family, came to question, and Director Omar naturally knew everything.
"Did the second young master have any unusual behavior before the accident?"
"Elder Hui, the young master was indeed a little strange before the incident, he had asked his subordinates about the local underground forces. ”
"It's those rats who specialize in stealing chickens and dogs? Nonsense! How could you mention their situation to the Second Young Master, and let them have contact with the Second Young Master! Do you know that this is detrimental to the dignity of the nobles. Brian immediately reprimanded. The face of the nobility is very important, not the pool! It is so important that no matter what happens, maintaining the dignity of the nobility is the first priority.
"The subordinates know their mistakes!, but the second young master insists on doing so, and we can't do anything about it!" said Omar aggrievedly.
"I'll ask about the rats later, think about it, that's all?" Brian ignored the director's complaints, he only cared about Clyde's anomaly before the accident.
"Let your men think about it......" Omar was lost in thought, desperately thinking about Clyde's every move after he came. Clyde has already had an accident, and they will definitely not be able to escape responsibility, if they can't find the murderer and let the head of the family vent his anger, they will become the target of the head of the family to vent his anger.
"I remember! The second young master came to pay attention to the business of the store, and after finding that the performance had declined, he asked his subordinates why∏ it was a female magic apprentice...... "Omar told Clyde what he has done these days, regardless of whether these things are useful or not. If you can't give Brian some explanation, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this hurdle in front of me.
"Find someone to draw her portrait, no matter how to find her first, anyway, this is a clue No, take me to visit the steward of this street, you should be able to ask something. ”
"Yes, Elder. ”
Omar immediately arranged for someone to find the artist, and he took Brian to find the administrator of this area, the largest nobleman in Glow City, the Oth family, known as the leader.
Glow City and its vicinity are the territory of the Auss family, and the adventurer town, as a forward sentry post between the kingdom and the Sunset Mountains, naturally needs to be firmly in the hands of the family, and the lord of the town is a member of the royal family, but this is just a trade-off, and the real manager of the town is the Oth family.
"Honorable administrator, Brian, the outer elder of the Smith family, asks to see you!" Omar respectfully made a request to visit.
"Come in, for the sake of the sister-in-law named Clyde, I know everything about him, and my subordinates will help you. Brian, come in and talk, I'm very lonely here, and you're one of the few magic geniuses, try your hand at it. ”
A calm and majestic voice came from inside, and Brian's face darkened, "This magic madman, it's still like this after so many years! Being driven to such a remote place can't change this stinky virtue! If it weren't for him, Lao Tzu would have run as far as he wanted!"
Brian went in as if he were dead...... Half a day later, Brian came out dying, as if he had been locked up by a hundred big men and strongmen.
“#%@*...... This guy is a madman! If I see him again, I'll be a fool!"
Although Brian's experience is indescribable, he luckily got the result he wanted. The madman of the House of Oz promised to ask the underground forces to help, and provided all the recent information about the area, so that things would not be blinded.
"Jobs, how could a girl have such a name? Could it be a pseudonym? Oh whatever! Let the people down there find him, but there is no evidence of this, no wanted warrant can be issued, and I don't know when I will find it." Brian muttered that this mission had really killed him.
