About five minutes later, a security guard patrolling the courtyard spotted Richard. The shattered corpse of Madden's skull.

Without hesitation, the security guard headed towards Richard. Madden's head of security reports.

And the security supervisor did not choose to call the police, but called Eisen. Morality.

As Richard. Madden's head of security, the other party obviously knows some things that ordinary people don't know.

In just ten minutes or so, Eisen. De, the boss of the herders of the Southern District, reappeared in the villa.

This time it's not just Eisen. Virtue one person.

Idle herders in the southern district and herdsmen in other districts were also called up.

Bane is one of them.

Bane, who had been drafted again, pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Please."

"I have my own mission, too."

"Don't let me come every time, okay?"

Bane grumbled to Horn.

"Your presence here proves that the so-called mission in your mouth is not important."

"Or rather, you're not irreplaceable in this task."

"I believe in Whitrick's abilities!"

"And ......"

"In my experience, if you complain to an acquaintance as soon as you meet, there is only one possibility: your mission has been frustrated."

As he spoke, Horn pushed his glasses.

Immediately, the spectacle lenses reflect a different brilliance.

"Frustration?"

"How can there be setbacks?"

"And, am I familiar with you?"

"No kidding."

Bane twisted his head stiffly.

What happened to him, how could he say it!

Did he want to tell Horn that he was so optimistic that a disciple with the potential of a sage and prophet would become a cook?

If he really dared to say it, he would not have to be a laughing stock among the herders of the entire Ai city.

However, Luo Ye's cooking is really delicious.

It smells so good!

I really want to go for a bowl of chicken soup!

Unconsciously, Bane's mouth began to secrete saliva, especially when the cold wind of late autumn blew, Bane's mind unconsciously imagined that he was sitting at the small table in Ye Zhi's restaurant, leaning on the warm electric stove, drinking steaming and fragrant chicken soup, and chatting with Luo Yan from time to time, although most of the time, he said it again, Luo Yan was completely silent, but this feeling was better.

At least, Luo Yan didn't refute him, and he was completely a qualified confidant.

Aside from the fact that you can't drink alcohol, it's a heavenly place!

Call!

Just as Bane was in a fantasy, another cold wind blew.

Bane, who was just dressed in a tracksuit, shrank his neck in an instant.

He shifted to a position against the wall and glanced at Essen, the boss of the South Side. After examining the body carefully, there was no interest.

Bane was well aware that he wasn't here to help with the investigation, and he didn't need to help the herders in the Southside.

As one of the strongest districts in Ai, the herders in the southern district do not need help at all.

And the reason why he appeared here was just to show other people.

Let everyone who gives financial support to pastoralists understand that they value them.

That's all!

As for more?

That is to find and kill Richard. Madden's people too.

Again, he didn't need to intervene in this matter.

The young people among the herders in the South Side have long been eager to take the plunge.

Bane, who was leaning in the corner, looked at Stina, a young man with a short temper and good strength, and hurriedly asked about the appearance of a few people, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It's good to act fast.

No matter how fast the speed is, there is no result, and it is useless.

Bane was sure that the other party would not ask anything, just like the death of the other person's daughter.

This kind of rich man is the person he is least willing to contact and the least he wants to touch.

Because, the other party represents big trouble.

"Hey, Bane."

Utta. Darko shook his fat body and squeezed into this corner, feeling that the wind was more than half lighter in an instant, the North District herdsman, grinned: "A good place to shelter from the wind." ”

"If you don't squeeze in, it's better here."

Looking at his half-sized body that had been squeezed out, Bane rolled his eyes.

Then, pinch the Uteta hard. Darko's belly.

"Man, it's time for you to lose weight."

Bane felt the fat in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's the advice you gave me after feeling their cuteness?"

Utta. Darko asked proudly, touching his belly.

"It's not."

"I just think that you have a group of white-eyed wolves, and you usually feed them with good food and drink, but when it comes to critical moments, they can't help at all."

"I think you cut them anyway!"

Bane shook his head and said with a straight face.

"No!"

"It's impossible to cut, and neither is it possible to lose weight!"

"Only food can make me feel the beauty of the world!"

Utta. Darko waved his hand, and then, pointing to Eisen in the distance. De, asked, "What do you say will happen?" ”

"What can I do?"

"In order to find the murderer in a short time, you can only conjure spirits."

Bane affirmed.

"So ......"

"What do you think would happen if something happened to the conjuring?"

Utta. Darko asked, in a long tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know anything?"

Bane frowned.

"I don't know anything."

"But I always find it a little weird."

"There was just a series of incidents in the northern district where I am, and the support from the southern district had just arrived, and before the investigation was launched, something like this happened in the southern district."

"Or twice!"

"Don't you think it's strange?"

The fat shepherd asked Bane rhetorically.

Bane groaned.

He didn't refute the other man's words, because, as the other said, it was a little strange.

But when it came to some of the details, Bane couldn't figure it out.

"Is there anything in the North End?"

Bane asked.

"What could it be?"

"I've been searching for a year, but I can't find a single coin."

"Don't you notice that I've been a little emaciated lately?"

The fat herder sighed.

Bane rolled his eyes again.

He knew very well how black the fat man in front of him was, when there were originally two herders in the North District, there were still people who restrained him and kept him from going too far, but after the herder died in a gang fight, the entire North District became the territory of the fat man in front of him.

It is naturally impossible to be rich and rich, but it is definitely better than the average herd.

Otherwise, the other party will not be able to send his daughter to the 'military camp' for training.

You know, that kind of place is the place where you really burn money.

"So what's going on?"

Bane muttered to himself.

And at this time, in the distance, Eisen. Virtue has been made in Richard. Madden's corpse was sprinkled with crystal powder, which seemed to be measured by a machine. Madden surrounded it, forming a perfect circle, and then, there were some arcane characters.

Finally, there is a diamond the size of a little finger nail.

"Eisen. Dezhen under the capital! ”

Utta. Darko looked at the diamond and couldn't help but start drooling.

Bane didn't say anything, but his eyes were hot.

In the entire city of Ai, I'm afraid there is only Aisen. A Southern District boss like Tak is qualified to use a diamond of this size as a 'sacrifice' for the soul summoning ceremony.

Others?

It's nice to be able to offer some nice food.

The sound of a muffled spell came from Eisen. De's mouth rang out.

Richard. On Madden's corpse, a translucent soul slowly emerged.

A blank appearance appeared on the other party's face.

The other party's mind is very unclear.

Naturally, some of the things that are usually hidden in them can no longer be hidden.

A trace of hideous, depressing, and uncomfortable aura escaped from the other person's soul.

The faces of the herders present changed.

Is that......

The breath of the witch!

The herdsman is too familiar with the aura of the witch!

And Bane and Utta. When the two Daktronics felt this breath, they shouted in unison: "North District! ”

Eisen, who is presiding over the conjuring ceremony. De's face was even more difficult to see.

His gray trench coat was blown from side to side in the autumn wind, and his sharp eyes were full of murderous aura in the autumn wind, and he raised his hand and waved.

Suddenly, the surrounding herdsmen all rushed towards the northern district.

……

"Time is running out!"

The superior demon estimated the time, and the speed became faster and faster.

Of the 'strange' places it had found from the spirits and the mouths of the weirdos, it had searched for the last one.

So, it's becoming more and more cautious.

It had a hunch that its search would be as dangerous as ever!

The superior demon felt that he needed to be more secure.

Therefore, in the next moment, the high-ranking evil spirit became the appearance of 'Bane', and even the sportswear did not have any gap.

Disguised as 'Bane', the superior demon approached the sewers of the North Side.

Although most of the public facilities and buildings on the ground in the North District have been destroyed, everything that was completed in the underground of the North District is still preserved.

The people of the North District, although thugs, are not stupid.

They also don't want to live in a big dung pit themselves.

The upper-level evil spirit doesn't need the construction drawings of the sewers in the North District at all, and some sewage and walls can't stop it at all.

After turning into invisible, the upper evil spirit quickly shuttled to the lowest layer.

Here the superior demon paused for a moment, and after carefully distinguishing it, it drilled again.

This time, it came to a dry environment.

However, it is also full of filth.

There is no sewage and feces, but there are a lot of internal organs.

The internal organs have turned black and smelly.

In this almost confined space, there was a suffocating smell, and the superior evil spirit glanced at the way those internal organs were placed, especially under the internal organs, and there were some strange attachments, and immediately carefully avoided them.

Although its mystical knowledge could not discern the meaning it represented, with Qin Ran as an example, it knew that what it didn't understand should not be moved.

In front of him, such entrails were almost filled with this obviously dug passage.

Simple, crude traps.

But undoubtedly useful!

At least, for most people, that's how it is.

And for the higher-ranking evil spirits?

Inexistent!

If this road doesn't work, then it's better to go another way!

The upper demon drilled again.

The whole body was submerged under the passage, and with a fairly good perception, it immediately circled to the end of the tunnel's excavation after discerning the direction.

Or to be more precise, where the excavator wants to go.

A ruin!

It's not big, just the size of a basketball court.

There are frescoes on the walls, but they have long since decayed, and only a few fragments remain.

In the middle of the room, there is a platform the size of a billiard case, the platform is boxy, except for the surface of the platform is as white as jade, the four sides are as black as ink.

In the far middle of the platform, on an equally dark shelf, a gemstone the size of a red date was placed.

The gem itself should be as transparent as glass, but the gem is surrounded by multicolored light, and the superior evil spirit did not approach, just slightly bathed in this multicolored light, and felt that the physical strength just consumed was rapidly replenishing.

Great stuff!

Good stuff without a doubt!

The superior demon looked at the gem with bright eyes.

It's not in a hurry, though.

It took a closer look at the room, then put its head into the table, and when it saw some of the arrangements inside, the superior demon smiled.

Very rudimentary set-up.

is a trigger-type mechanism.

To put it simply, after someone takes the gems from the shelf, there is no pressing, and the spring will be touched.

"It's rudimentary!"

The superior demon said this as he burrowed into the passage overhead.

After finding another pebble of similar size, the superior demon returned to the chamber the same way it came, and it raised one hand to reach into the table, holding down the mechanism, and with the other hand picked up the gem.

Then, place the pebbles you just found on top.

When all this was done, the superior evil spirit breathed a long sigh of relief.

But immediately, the superior evil spirit noticed that something was wrong.

It's actually recovering!

The power of its sealing has been restored!

In a very slow way!

After a moment of silence, the superior demon shook his head.

"It's so slow!"

The superior demon sighed.

This slow recovery will be of little use to it.

It is even pointless to some extent.

Because as soon as you get out of here, it will be able to recover in no time.

Moreover, even if its boss recovers, it is also able to recover.

However, the superior evil spirit did not dislike this trophy because of this.

After all, it's not its loot, it's its boss's.

As for what it discovered?

Does it matter?

Even it's a boss.

Not to mention what it discovered?

Holding the gem tightly in his hand, the superior evil spirit dived straight underground, and returned the same way, and the upper evil spirit was very worried that the gem's breath would be discovered.

The only way to do this is to dive deep underground and return to the restaurant from the ground.

And just ten minutes after the superior evil spirit left, the wall of this secret room was suddenly broken.

A figure stepped out of it.

"Philosopher's Stone!"

"The Philosopher's Stone is mine!"

The other party shouted like this.

But when I saw the pebbles on the shelf, I was stunned.

The people behind the other party were also stunned.

"This is the Philosopher's Stone?"

One of them asked.

"Of course!"

"It is worthy of being a philosopher's stone, it is no different from an ordinary stone, ordinary people can't discover the mystery at all, do you think it will be like those magic stones, let you see the extraordinary at a glance?"

The man in the lead quickly came back to his senses, and he turned his head and scolded his men.

This is the Philosopher's Stone!

He worked so hard to find it!

How could he be slandered by people?

To slander it is not to slander its efforts and wisdom?

The people around couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing the leader's words.

The fetish is obscure!

They had all heard similar rumors.

Such a philosopher's stone is not strange at all!

Only such a philosopher's stone is a real philosopher's stone!

If you put a dazzling one, it will definitely be a trap!

Thinking of this, all eyes suddenly turned to the pebble.

Hot!

Urgently!

Full of greed!

But they didn't move, because they all knew that the place where the Philosopher's Stone was placed would definitely be in great danger and great terror.

You have to be careful!

But at this moment, in the passage they had dug, there was a sound of footsteps.

Eisen. De Yiyi took the lead, and when he saw this group of people, he immediately looked at the killing intent, and when he saw the pebbles on the shelves through the gap in the crowd, this killing intent was a little stronger.

Without hesitation, Eisen. De drew his sword.

The witch man is the mortal enemy of the herdsman.

What's more, there are ......

Philosopher's Stone!
