Chapter 1062: Attacking and Being Attacked
The maid of the Neuer family was killed.
And it's in the Manor of the Neuer family.
He was stabbed in the heart and killed with one blow.
There was no trace of the battle left at the scene, and it was enough to see that the servant named Merinus did not resist to any extent, and lost his life.
There were no arcane fluctuations in the air, and there was no confluence of elements around them, and for the Skywrath, combat without magic was almost non-existent, and with all the characteristics and elements, almost everyone who knew about it came to the conclusion that they were terrified———— the person who attacked and killed Merinas of the Neuer family was not the Skyfury at all.
And according to the information revealed by insiders, the wounds on Merinas' body are almost exactly the same as Bobolos, who was killed at the door of the forbidden treasure house!
In this way, who is the attacker...... It seems self-evident.
Lenzer looked coldly at Merinus's pretty pale face, his fists clenched tightly.
For him, the patriarch of the Neuer family, Merinas is almost the only person who has a heart, the two have grown up together since childhood, although it is a master-servant relationship, but the emotions hidden in it have long exceeded the boundaries of master-servant.
He couldn't figure out how Merinus was just pruning the flowers and plants in the manor, and he would suffer such a fate!
She's innocent.
The pain in his chest felt as if it had been torn by something, but there was still no expression on Lenze's face, and from his personal point of view, the stabbing of Merinus was definitely something that made him sad and indignant; But on the other hand, if he stands in his capacity as the patriarch of the Neuer family, he should now put the power of the entire family to a halt and calm down as if nothing happened.
Whoever is responsible for Merinus's death, he should choose the second solution, and that almost cold sanity is the fundamental reason why the Neuer family has been able to thrive in the Pale Lair of chaos and complexity to this day.
Maybe it was really the damn human who attacked Merinas out of nowhere.
But perhaps...... Merinas's death is nothing more than a façade, in fact a warning, a warning that a "great change" is coming.
Lenzer should make the most sensible, correct, and family-friendly choice.
But it's really hard!
Lenzer still has no lovers, which is extremely rare among the long-lived Heavenly Fury, although they have a young attachment to Xiandelsha, and a large part of it is because of Merinas in front of them.
Despite being a servant of poor origin, Lenze had never thought of it that way, and for himself, Merinus had long since become a habit of life, an indispensable and precious existence.
And now, this incomparably precious existence to him has been avoided by someone in this almost cruel way.
Merinus's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe it was her fate, and Lenze stepped forward and gently covered her eyes with his hand, gently sliding her stiff eyelids down.
After doing all this, Lenzer slowly stood up and whispered to the old man with a serious expression behind him, "Dressel......"
"Sir, I'm here." Dreezel is the hereditary steward of the Neuer family, who has been present in the family's history since Grandpa Lenzer was in charge of the family, "Whatever you command, I will surely fulfill your wishes." ”
"Close...... All the people of the Neuer family outside the country, closing some unnecessary properties. Lenze's voice was a little difficult, but he still instructed the old man beside him word by word, "Bury Merinus's body well, for the time being...... For the time being, I refused all the interviews, saying that I was seriously ill and bedridden. ”
"......," Dressel did not answer at first, but after a slight pause, he spoke softly, "as you wish, noble lord." ”
"And ...... Send a few smart guys out there to listen to the winds and grass in the entire Pale Nest. Lenzer almost crushed his own back molars, "to avoid a situation like this again, as soon as you find out...... Report back to me right away! ”
"Yes, sir." Delizel paused for a moment, looked at Lenzer's trembling back, and suddenly changed to a gentle tone, "If the master wants to find out the real murderer, it is to fight for this old life, and I will do what you wish." ”
"No...... No, that's not in line with the usual position and family interests of our Neuer family. Lenze's expression was unusually painful, but there was a disobedient smile on his almost hideous face, "What are we going to do now...... It is to ensure the interests of the family! ”
"Understood, sir." Delezel shook his head imperceptibly, "Please go back first, I'll arrange Merinas myself." ”
Nodding, Lenzer suddenly stepped forward, half-kneeling beside Merinus's cold body, and gently stroked her pale cheek with his hand, muttering to himself.
"May you walk safely through the ruins of eternal calamity to the realm of eternal life...... If I can meet you again, I will make you my wife, I promise. ”
…………………………
Over the course of fifteen days, eight of the family's servants, including the Neuer family, were assassinated by unknown figures.
The deceased were all shot through the heart and killed directly.
There was hardly any common ground among the eight families, and the people who were attacked were not limited to the lowest-ranking servants, such as Merinas of House Neuer, Garrow of House Volwan, and Fufu of House Bitsroion, all of whom were the closest cronies of the patriarch.
The locations of the attacks also had nothing in common at all, some were on their own estates, some were on remote streets, and some were even in their own rooms.
At the beginning, the people of the Heavenly Fury Clan thought that this indiscriminate murderous demon killed people at will out of interest or boredom, after all, the people he killed were the most ordinary Heavenly Fury people, these people were not like the soldiers of the garrison or the Sky Guard, they were unarmed, and they had little power to resist in the face of the attack except crying.
But then...... The people of the Heavenly Fury Clan realized that they seemed to be wrong.
Because those who were unfortunately killed by the attack all carried a secret demonic charm on their bodies, although they were not sure what the effect of that thing was, but after careful investigation, the stench of hell in the charm was immediately pulled out by the archmages of the Heavenly Fury Clan!
