On the first day Ning Lang entered this world, he entered Angus's home for a 30-day alchemy study.

On the fourth day of Ning Lang's entry into this world, he was appreciated by Angus and became an alchemy apprentice in his alchemy shop.

On the ninth day, Kiki drew a map of Ning Lang's neighborhood around the town.

On the tenth day, Ning Lang followed Angus to his shop, and officially announced in front of everyone in the town that he had become his disciple.

Then on the fourteenth day, Angus died.

When he got the news of Angus' death, Ning Lang was working the homework he had assigned the night before, and Kiki's knowledge of alchemy was also quickly mastered by him.

But he had only gained a small part of his knowledge, and needed more teaching before he could continue smoothly, but at this moment, old George suddenly came to tell him that Angus was dead.

"Are you kidding? Old George. ”

Ning Lang was so surprised that even the quill in his hand fell, staining an enchanted parchment that he was writing, and he didn't care about feeling sorry for this thing worth ten Jindir, so he hurriedly came to Old George's front and asked like a cannon: "Obviously, yesterday, the teacher was still so healthy, how could he die?" ”

"Killed."

Old George's face was gloomy, and behind him, several other apprentices had also been driven out of the basement, all of them looking around, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Killed?"

Ning Lang smiled a little angrily: "The teacher is an intermediate alchemist, although his combat power is not as strong as that of an intermediate mage, but it is extremely difficult, in this town, who can kill him?" ”

What's more, everything in the town was quiet yesterday, Qiqi had been monitoring everything around her, and she hadn't found any large-scale mana tide - a phenomenon during spell battles, so it was extremely easy to kill such an alchemist and kill Ning Lang without realizing it.

After all, after this period of contact, he could understand that his alchemist teacher had killed him a few times very simply—when he had not incarnated as a fire demon. But even if he incarnates as a fire demon to fight, he is not necessarily Angus's opponent, and the most terrifying thing about alchemy is not his own strength, but his own alchemy items.

"Can you tell us more about that?"

Ning Lang felt irritable in his heart, Angus's death had caused great damage to the progress of his mission, not to mention that although life and death were inseparable in the recent period of life, he was a very familiar person, and his death like this made him feel a burst of anger.

"I don't know the details."

Old George sighed and said to Ning Lang: "Now the body is in Baron Vuitton, and there are nearly twenty well-known people with it. ”

Ning Lang couldn't help but gasp, he had been chasing the strange events in this town all this time, but unfortunately there were no clues, and nothing happened during that time. As a result, on this day, it is unimaginable that so many people died directly.

"Let's go."

Ning Lang invited several other apprentices, but to his anger, most of the apprentices in front of him shook their heads, as if they were ready to leave, and only one decided to go with him to Baron Vuitton.

"They don't have a good relationship with their teachers, they all take advantage of each other."

The only apprentice who went was named William, only twelve or thirteen years old, the son of a blacksmith, who dreamed of becoming a powerful warrior, but unexpectedly discovered that he had the talent of a mage, and eventually became an alchemist's apprentice.

"They're leaving?"

Ning Lang saw that the rest of the apprentices were obviously not interested in joining him, so he asked casually, and William really said the answer.

"Of course they won't leave, they're still waiting to divide the property."

William's tone was a little disdainful, "The teacher has no relatives, so after his death, half of his property will be expropriated by the empire, and the remaining half will be given to the local lord, the Baron Vuitton." And the rest is divided equally among the apprentices of several of our teachers, who will definitely stay. ”

Ning Lang could clearly tell from the other party's mouth that he was disgusted with the other people, and without saying anything, he directly asked Old George to lead the way towards Baron Vuitton's mansion.

William next to him was still chattering about several other apprentices, and it seemed that he had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in Pingyue, and Ning Lang also understood a little about the things between them.

But now he was in no mood to bother with it, and he was saddened by Angus's death, but the cause of his death was also something he had to see. It is very likely that Ning Lang will suffer the same thing as Angus in the future, which is an important reason for surviving for 30 days in the mission.

Baron Vuitton's mansion was in the center of the town, a little far from Angus's house, and it took them a long time to get to the door, and after speaking to the guards before they were allowed to enter the room.

"His Excellency the Baron has gone to the scene to check on it, and the body is temporarily placed in the basement."

The guard who led the way said with a cold face: "As Master Angus's apprentice, why are only the two of you here?" I remember adding the one who just became a disciple of the master a few days ago, there should be four more people, right? ”

Ning Lang didn't say much, but William couldn't help it, and directly opened his mouth to confide everything he had complained about Ning Lang.

"Here we are."

But due to the short distance, William didn't have to say a few words, and they arrived at their destination.

"This is the body of the master, you should pay a good respect, and also see how his injuries were killed."

The soldier asked Ning Lang and William to stand in front of a corpse covered with a white cloth, lifted the white cloth and took two steps back, so that the disciples of the person who was already lying there could take a good look at his remains.

Ning Lang squatted down, first looked at the soles of Angus's feet, and then slowly moved towards the top of his head, not crying like William hugged Angus at the beginning, but calmly searched for his injuries.

I don't know if Angus's whole body was sorted out by the soldiers, there was nothing more messy, and the wound that caused his death was quickly discovered by Ning Lang - they were two small holes arranged on the side of his neck, and the blood that flowed out had already dried up.

Angus's face was frighteningly white, as if blood had already flowed through the two small holes.

"According to the coroner, the master died of excessive blood loss, and we did find some blood stains at the scene of the crime, but the amount was not enough for the master to die."

The soldier next to him introduced, and seemed to be puzzled: "It's about a small cup of blood spilled so much, and no one will die because of this." ”

William was still there crying, but Ning Lang was deep in thought.

Such a wound reminded him of the legend in the real world - vampires, and in this world, although Ning Lang did not have much contact, but through the chats of some adventurers, he did not find any monsters with the same existence.

[Necromantic creatures that emerged from the ground suddenly joined the war this time.] 】

Remembering the hints from the Book of Ten Thousand Laws at that time, Ning Lang suddenly became enlightened, and these doubts might be able to be resolved.

None of the necromantic creatures in the underground knew about the adventurers he came into contact with, and even the upper echelons of a small town like Angus didn't have any impression of Ning Lang's side knocks, which meant that this kind of power should have appeared in front of the world for the first time.

It is even possible that it has not really appeared in front of the world until now.

"Vampires, according to most legends, are a kind of necromancer or dark creature, so is it possible that the necromantic creature that emerges from the ground is very likely to have vampires?"

Ning Lang closed his eyes and thought, guessing the truth of the matter, and then thought of hearing the complaints of the servants, the cemetery in the east had been dug up with many tombs, wasn't this the rhythm of a living necromancer summoning the necromancer?

When someone goes missing, is it because they have discovered the movements of the necromancy and have been killed, or have they been secretly captured for various experiments or sacrifices?

So is the danger of your own 30-day survival coming from these?

"I'd like to go to the place where the teacher died, can I?"

Ning Lang asked the soldier next to him, and got a positive answer from the other party, so he asked the other party to take him with him.

"I'll go too."

Wiping away his tears, William followed, this time finally closing his mouth and not saying anything more, apparently saddened by the sight of Angus's corpse.

"The place of the Master's death is in the civilian settlement in the east of the city." The soldier leading the way walked without squinting, still telling the details of what had happened.

"The teacher went to Misha's house."

William whispered beside him, as a disciple of Angus, Ning Lang didn't know some basic information: "Misha's husband was the teacher's first apprentice, and he was killed a few years ago because he went out on an adventure. ”

"And because Misha suddenly disappeared last night, the teacher got the news and rushed over, and didn't come back all night, but he didn't expect to ...... today"

William said this, and began to cry again, Ning Lang continued to walk towards his destination with a solemn face.

Suddenly, he stopped and asked William, "Is Misha living alone?" ”

After receiving a nod of affirmation from the other party, he asked again, "Did you disappear last night?" ”

"That's right."

William continued to nod.

"So who went to the teacher? And how many people know that Misha is the wife of a teacher's apprentice? ”

Ning Lang's eyes flickered with flames, and he could feel that this was a premeditated murder!
