Chapter 28: Bad guys always have a lot of excuses
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! What the hell is going on! ”
A resentful Arrudo rushed out of Viscount Boton's study under the leadership of the middle-aged butler, and he already knew that Viscount Boton was dead, so he didn't bother to cover it up anymore. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Yarudo directly pushed the middle-aged butler open, and then kicked the door of the study hard, and swaggered into the study that belonged to Viscount Bolton.
The eyes of the middle-aged butler, who was pushed by Yarudo and staggered, were filled with black air again, and then he followed behind Yarudo honestly and walked into the study without hurrying.
Just as he had been when he had served Viscount Bolton's father and Viscount Bolton himself.
Arrudo, a mid-level magician who broke into the study, immediately noticed the corpse of Viscount Bolton who had fallen to the ground, and the warlock's eye that was floating above Viscount Bolton.
This made Arudo's face even more ugly.
This Warlock's Eye was summoned by the Eye of the Warlock when he felt that the magic mark he had left on Viscount Bolton had suddenly dissipated, and he immediately cast his magic with another magic mark he had left in the study as the coordinates. The summoned Warlock's Eye is like another eye for the Warlock, transmitting everything they see directly to the caster through a psychic connection.
Unfortunately, as a dark mage, Dio had long been aware of the existence of these magic marks, so he left the study in time after killing Viscount Bolton, so Arudo, who summoned the Eye of the Warlock, could not even see Dio's shadow.
Raising his hand to dispel the warlock's eyes, Arudo, whose face was quite ugly, quickly walked to the body of Viscount Bolton and carefully examined the cause of Viscount Bolton's death. Judging by his skillful technique, it was certainly not the first time he had done such a thing.
"There were no signs of struggle, only this fatal wound on the neck...... Didn't this guy even notice that an enemy was coming, and he was killed by a direct sneak attack by an assassin? Looking at the gaping hole in Viscount Bolton's neck, Arudo's brow furrowed.
Since Dio deliberately used his Hidden Blade to cut the part where he had originally stabbed Viscount Bolton with a flying needle, Arrudo did not find that there was actually a trace left by a needle prick in the mortal wound of Viscount Bolton.
However, although Arudo could see at a glance that Viscount Bolton should have died under the Hidden Blade, a weapon unique to the Assassins, he still felt a little puzzled about the specific cause of Viscount Bolton's death: "However, judging from this wound, this assassin must have forcibly killed this fool from the front...... Could it be that the strength of this assassin who came to assassinate him was very strong? That's why this idiot has no ability to resist? ”
This conclusion made Arudo's heart sink.
Although he had long understood that what he had done should not be able to hide from the major forces for a long time, the speed with which the news leaked still surprised Yarudo, who had a ghost in his heart.
After examining the body again, Arudo looked at Viscount Bolton, who was already lifeless, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart: "If it is really a high-level assassin, then he did not come to me directly, which means that my identity has not been exposed." And this fool with the blood of the hydra, although he is dead, the body has not yet cooled down, and the transformation ritual can still continue......"
After hesitating for a while, Arudo, who finally let the greed in his heart take over, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Those magic materials don't matter, but materials like this that are suitable for making flesh and blood puppets are really very rare!" Anyway, it's still night, and I'm going to perform the transformation ritual right away, so I should be able to get everything done before dawn, and then pack up my things and run away! Well, that's it! ”
That's right, the reason why Arudo, who is just an ordinary intermediate magician on the surface, took the initiative to "help" Viscount Bolton, who just needed a magician, was actually because he didn't have a good heart at all.
Although the power of the bloodline on Viscount Bolton's body was already quite thin, Arudo, who had been looking for a suitable way to make a "flesh puppet", still noticed the Hydra bloodline possessed by Viscount Bolton.
Hydra's regenerative ability is top-notch among all phantom beast species. Even though the bloodline power inherited by Viscount Bolton is quite thin, the ancestral bloodline source is still a high-level subspecies hydra that is not very strong, but he still has a very strong self-healing ability.
It's not a good idea, though.
And Viscount Bolton, who has this kind of bloodline, is an extremely high-quality and precious "material" in the eyes of Arudo, who is trying to make a flesh puppet, which makes Arudo, who has been struggling to find the right material, unable to resist this temptation, which is why today's scene is here.
Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted.
Arudo, who was not willing to give up at all, easily used various excuses to persuade himself, he ordered the middle-aged butler, who had already been controlled by him, to carry the body of Viscount Bolton, and then hurried to the hall on the first floor.
In the hall on the first floor, the middle-aged butler had already prepared a very sufficient amount of magic materials for Arudo according to the order of Viscount Bolton. With these materials, Arudo set everything up on his own, including the evil magic circle that was designed to transform creatures into flesh golems.
It is said to be an evil magic array, but this magic array does not look much different from the general ritual magic array commonly used by magicians, except that there are some differences in some runes and peripheral "decorations".
This is one of the reasons why Arudo, who is disguised as an orthodox magician, was able to easily fool Viscount Bolton, who didn't know much about magic. Aside from this magic array and the bottles of forbidden medicine used to forcibly activate the bloodline power of Viscount Bolton, what Arudo did was not much different from the methods used by orthodox magicians to activate the bloodline power of their followers.
Of course, Arudo's purpose in doing all this was completely different from that of orthodox magicians.
Ordering the middle-aged butler to place the body of Viscount Bolton on the altar, Arudo adjusted the magic array slightly, and hurriedly chanted.
But just as Arudo activated the magic array and was about to transform Viscount Boton's corpse into a flesh puppet, a black shadow fell from the sky, and the Hidden Blade on his arm pointed directly at Arudo's back!
