The winter side of Baiyan City is a large wasteland, this wasteland, the area is about a hundred miles, there are only a few small low hills, in the wasteland, there are a large number of wild animals, fire wolves, pointed antelopes, gray rabbits and so on. The royal family of the Desik Empire has always loved to hunt and have fun in this wasteland.

To facilitate hunting, the royals set up small temporary stops in the wasteland and built a few cabins for rest. After a long time, the extravagant Desik nobles gradually transformed these small wooden houses into royal estates, transplanting a large number of southern mainland plants, and creating these estates beautifully.

The most beautiful of them all is the "Rose Manor", which was later given to Prince Ferdinand as a gift!

However, that was before, and now the Rose Manor has long since lost its original prosperity, and it is a little desolate, and the walls of the manor that have fallen into disrepair are all broken rubble, and the once magnificent rose garden has long since withered and withered everywhere. On the broken stones and dead branches, there were traces of spiders crawling, and cobwebs sealed the broken openings.

Green and Setie stood outside the Rose Manor, followed by two mages from San Jose, Pete and Angelina. Gülen brought the news that Green couldn't resist coming here to take a look. In the distant wasteland, a puff of smoke and dust rose up, making this place even more miserable.

"Let's go, let's go in and see," said Setie, "I don't know what I'll find, go and see." ”

Before the words fell, Green stretched out his hand and gestured, "Don't you think, the smoke over there is a bit big?"

It turned out that Green had been looking at the smoke and dust in the distance just now, in this season, the smoke and dust on the wasteland was not strange, Green just looked at it casually, but he didn't expect to find that it was getting bigger and bigger, and he had to attract Green's attention.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long, and at the end of the road in the distance, under the smoke, a few small black dots appeared in front of them, and Green put his hand on the pergola to look at it, and found that it was a row of carriages.

As the carriage drew closer, you could see the Steppenwolf markings on the carriage, one was a Steppenwolf head with sheepskin wrapped in sheepskin, and the other was a Steppenwolf head held by two scimitars. The carriage was quite luxurious, and a line of spear-wielding warriors followed it.

Setie has been traveling to various countries for many years, and has a little knowledge of the heraldic system of each country, "This is the car of the Desik State Tent and the Joint Council, and it should be occupied by Desik's important ministers or generals!" she whispered next to Green.

Green hurriedly dismounted, if the person who came was a high-ranking official in Desik's country, he couldn't be rude.

The carriage approached quickly, the speed was quite fast, and the soldiers on the side were a little out of breath, which could only be understood as the people who came were anxious. Not far in front of the Green horse, several carriages stopped steadily, and the curtain of the carriage in front of the head was lifted, and a middle-aged man in General Desik's uniform walked out.

After receiving a message from Earl Norton, General King knew that the Earl must have a clue, so he put down what he was doing and came to the city to wait for Earl Norton. Earl Norton briefly explained the clues, and the two people who converged together hurriedly came to the Rose Manor in the east of White Rock City, and just as they were about to approach the manor, the soldiers next to them reported that there were several men and women on horseback waiting at the end of the road.

General Jin was a little strange, so he didn't wait for the carriage to stop, he stepped out of the carriage and saw an unfamiliar face in front of him: "Are you?"

When Green saw the people getting off the carriage, he also felt a little familiar, and asked tentatively: "General Kim?" Setie and General Kim have also met, "General Kim, hello!"

General Kim, when he was on a mission to the Shang Alliance, had dealt with Setie and Green, so he had some impressions, but General Jin had no clue why they appeared here.

At this time, Count Norton, who was in the carriage behind, also got out of the carriage, and he walked closer, "Who are you?" General Jin stretched out his hand, "Introduction, this is the Prime Minister of the Desik Empire, Count Norton, this is the chief hunter of the Merchant Alliance's Adventurer Association, Green, the court magician of San Jose, and these two?"

"Oh, they're mid-level magicians Pete and Angelina, and they're also court magicians in San Jose. Setie hastened to answer.

Norton slapped his head, "Yes, I've heard that San Jose sent diplomats to White Rock City, and you've always liked to send court magicians as diplomats. So, why are you here?"

At this time, none of the people spoke first, and the scene seemed a little strange for a while. Green and Setie naturally can't say, they are here to investigate the key matter of Desik's country and the mysterious assassin, Earl Norton and General King, of course, it is impossible to tell these foreigners their purpose.

There was a stalemate for a while, but General Jin spoke first, "Green, are you here related to the assassin investigation of the Manning incident and the Westborder Bridge incident?"

Green nodded.

"What have you found?" asked the Earl of Norton.

Green thought for a moment, "We've heard the news that there has been a particularly strange and vicious incident here, Rose Manor, and I suspect that it may have something to do with our investigation. But we're not sure yet, so let's try our luck. ”

Hearing them say this, General King bowed his head and explained a few words to Earl Norton. Earl Norton may be aware of what is happening on the Westside Bridge, but he doesn't know much about the adventurer's guild over the years.

After listening to General Jin's explanation, Earl Norton thought for a moment, "I'm afraid, that mysterious man's statement can't be false, obviously, the people from the Adventurer's Guild have also found out here along another line." How to put it, when two unrelated people find out the same thing, I can only think that the matter really exists. ”

General King nodded, agreeing with Earl Norton's statement. He turned back to Green and Setie and said, "I'm afraid you're in the right direction. ”

Green and Setie were eye-catching at the same time.

General Kim continued, "I guess you may have heard some market legends, but since this can attract you, believe me, what you have heard is true, but it is not comprehensive. So, let's go!"

After saying that, General Jin took the lead and walked towards the main entrance of the manor.

Entering the main entrance of the manor, there was a ruined sight, even worse than the outside, and the Earl of Norton explained, "Prince Ferdinand has not been here again since the accident. After the death of the Prince, the royal family did not repossess the estate, so..."

As soon as she stepped into the manor, Setie closed her eyes and said nothing, and after a long time, she opened her eyes and looked at Pete and Angelina, "What did you feel?"

Pete and Angelina spoke at the same time, "It's a very strong magical atmosphere, someone once cast a big magic here!"

"Well, that's right!" Setie looked around, "Such a strong magical aura has not dissipated for three years, and it seems to be the effect of a magic array." ”

General Jin and Earl Norton, who were listening from the sidelines, glanced at each other in unison, "Mage Setty, if you want to find any magic array, don't bother, we already know where it is." ”

A group of people climbed the half-shattered domed building of the manor, and from there, looking down, even if it was withered, the patches of dead branches could still vaguely see the shape of the pentagram. "It seems that the Wasteland Samurai Captain's dictation is correct, what we see should be the formation diagram he saw back then. ”

"Mage Set, isn't this an ordinary pentagram?" asked Green, as he said.

Setie shook her head, "Do you remember what we saw in that cave at the summit of Sunset Mountain?"

Green thought for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God, this can't be a blood array, right?

Back then, a group of people in the Sunset Mountain in the territory of the Principality of Kaman, once found a small blood array, later, the maker of the blood array caused panic in King Kaman, that blood array, but the size of a person, and the one in front of me, if it is really a blood array, I'm afraid...

Pete and Angelina exchanged a moment, and Pete stepped forward, "If it's really a blood array, then it can explain why we can still feel the movement of the magical elements in the air until now." In fact, not only for these three years, but for ten years, I am afraid that it will remain here. ”

Setie thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, this is indeed a blood formation. Underneath these plants, we should be able to spot more clues. ”

Earl Norton couldn't help but be surprised, Mage Setti could see so much information with just the naked eye, "Mage Setti, you guessed it again, investigators, underneath these plants, found a copper pipe that was once filled with blood!"

"Yes, a typical blood array. As he spoke, a few people walked down again.

Although three years have passed, the excavated area is still exposed to the sun, but the root system of the plant has been severely rotted, and has long since turned into a pile of dead branches, which will crumble into powder at the slightest touch. The copper pipe has been buried in the ground for a long time, and now the surface is covered with thick green rust, and the so-called dried blood, which will no longer be visible, is integrated with the copper pipe.

"Well, that's it, exactly what I mentioned in the previous investigation report" Earl Norton muttered to himself as he watched from the sidelines, and Sei made a gesture, Pete and Angelina each walked to a corner, and together with Setie, the three of them chanted a magic spell aloud.

"Tracer magic", a beam of light emitted from the heads of the three of them, shot at the surrounding dead branches. The soldiers around them were stunned by the vision, how amazing it was for those of them who had never seen magic before, including Earl Norton and General King, but they were not concerned with magic itself.

On the ground, streams of light began to flow along the direction of the copper tube on the ground, forming a huge pentagram, after the pentagram was generated, it floated upwards, and streams of mist began to flow towards the interior of the pentagram, and some figures that seemed to be vague began to show up gradually.

These figures looked very abnormal, shaking one by one, as if they couldn't stand steadily. The virtual image lasted for a long time, and eventually, it gradually disappeared. Setie and the others, too, opened their eyes and stopped chanting the incantation.

"You can see it all!" asked Green in a deep voice.
