Chapter 117: Haoran is the murderer
Leaving the abandoned cemetery, Haoran and the others returned to Trisham as fast as possible, and went to a small mine to prepare to pick up a group of people such as the blacksmith apprentice.
Unexpectedly, when the five of them arrived at the small mine, they were left with a cold corpse.
The blacksmith's apprentice died, and none of the ordinary villagers were spared, but the wounds on the corpse caught the attention of the five. The corpse was not a bite or a heavy object, it looked like it was caused by a magical attack, and there was still a little magic in the void.
"Could it be a dark sorcerer of the True God Cult?" The wolf examined the corpse of the blacksmith's apprentice, his chest charred as if it had been burned by fire, and even the flesh was blurred by the explosion.
"No...... This is the energy of fire magic, and the wound on the chest of the blacksmith apprentice should be caused by fire magic. Hao Ran shook his head, as an arcane mage, his perception of magical energy was stronger than that of others.
Moreover, the reason why he denied all this was the work of the Dark Spell of the True God Cult was also well-founded. Because no matter what profession or energy the True God Cult has used before, as long as they join the Church, they will receive the baptism of darkness and convert their energy into dark energy.
Just like the previous chieftain, after joining the Cult of God as a Templar, he became a dark mage, so if it was the Cult of God, then what remained in the void should be the breath of dark magic.
Since you don't know who the murderer is? People die and can't be resurrected!
People don't stay too long for the corpses in one place, because they are used to seeing life and death, and this does not affect them. Rose remained at the mine gate on guard. Hao Ran and the other four carried the corpses out of the room one by one and piled them up, burning all the corpses with a fire, because they didn't want the corpses of their compatriots to be dominated by demons after they died.
After disposing of the body. It took the five to embark on the road back to New Tristel.
The crowd hurried through the night, and finally arrived at the defensive wall of the giant wood of New Tristrom in the early morning of the next day, but to the surprise of the five, they were greeted by a whistling arrow.
"Bump!"
The wooden arrow burst through the air, piercing deep into the ground in front of them before everyone could react, and the powerful liliang made the feathers of the arrow tremble. Make a buzzing sound.
"Grass...... Who is guarding the city gate, didn't you see Lao Tzu coming back? Be careful when shooting arrows, Lao Tzu stripped you naked and hung them on the city wall...... "The arrow was nailed in front of the wild wolf, and the trembling feathers seemed to laugh at him. Where can a short-tempered wild wolf stand this, and can't help but scold.
The militia guard standing on the city wall and shooting arrows was so frightened by the wolf that he did not dare to come out, but one of the guards beside him hesitated for a long time. Or poke your head out. Some frightened eyes looked at the wolf.
"Lord Wolf, we're not targeting you...... It's just ......" The guard looked terrified, and his voice trembled.
"Forget it! I'm too lazy to bother with you, hurry up and open the door, we want to see the wise man of Kane! The wolf interrupted the militiaman's words with a wave of his hand and said unhappily.
Although being inexplicably stopped by an arrow made the wild wolf very unhappy, he was not so stingy as to care about these things with ordinary people, in his opinion. It may have been that the militiaman was too tired from the night's guard and his hands trembled to shoot the arrow. So he generously decided to let the militia go.
But the truth was not what the wolf thought, the militia did not shoot that arrow with a trembling hand, but the militia intended to stop them with that arrow.
"Lord Wolf, we can't let you in!" The guard replied timidly.
"Grass...... Do you really think that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to touch you? At this, the wolf erupted on the spot, and strode forward in anger, even through the walls of the city, causing the guard to take a step back in fear.
"Wild wolf......" Rose seemed to see a clue, and hurriedly spoke to stop the wolf.
As a woman, her mind is very delicate, and so is Rose, although she is very cold on the surface, but her heart is different from the surface.
The previous arrow rose had the same opinion as the wolf, but after the wolf said that he would not pursue it again, the guards still prevented everyone from entering New Tristem, which is worth investigating.
The five of them are professionals, that is, humans who can inherit the powerful abilities of the ancient Pharmem people, and it can be said that they are the leaders who lead ordinary people out of the dark rule, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are saviors. However, they still made such a move even though they knew the identities of the others, and it is not difficult to guess that it must have been an order from the internal authority of New Tristm.
Or, now that the new Tristum has been controlled by an unknown shili, maybe too!
Just when the five Haoran arrived, the guards had already sent someone to inform their captain Lanford, and when the two parties were at a stalemate, Lanford also hurried over.
He stood on the city wall and glanced at the five people outside the city, and when he saw Haoran, his pupils shrank inexplicably, as if he was afraid of something. At this time, although Hao Ran has broken fangs, almost all the humans of New Tristum know that he is a mysterious and powerful arcane mage, but not everyone knows what he looks like.
"What do you mean by letting your men stop us from entering the city...... If you don't make it clear today, don't blame Lao Tzu for not being emotional! The wolf was already furious at this time, and when he saw Lanford climb the city wall, he took out the giant sword from the space and plunged it into the ground, and the hard ground was shaken out by his powerful liliang several cracks.
"Your Excellency Wild Wolf, you are angry first, please listen to my explanation......"
Seeing that the wolf was angry, Lanford hurriedly spoke to stop it, and after thinking for a moment in his heart, he explained: "When you left to look for King Leoric's crown, our team that went out to search for food inexplicably disappeared more than a dozen squads, as many as more than two hundred people...... It wasn't until last night that one of the teams escaped, and we learned from them that it was a human arcane mage who killed the search team! ”
Lanford's words made the five Haoran people outside the city wall all stunned in place and were silent for a long time.
"Fart...... Do you suspect that Brother Haoran killed those people! The wolf roared angrily.
To be honest, after he heard Lanford's explanation, the first person who thought of him was also Haoran, but when he thought about it, he put this thought behind him, not to mention anything else, they could fight on the road and rush into the tomb, Haoran didn't have time to return here to kill people.
Lanford didn't answer the wolf's words, but looked at Hao Ran and said, "Your Excellency Hao Ran, to be honest, I don't believe that you killed the person...... But the militia who fled back insisted that it was the occult mage who killed them, and ......"
"And, like you, you have yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes!" (To be continued......)
