Steven had already packed up and had a few words with Henao. Then he gathered all the apprentices and set out together.

This time, Enao is not in a hurry, after all, there are a pair of his children in the apprentice, and he went out today mainly to investigate, and the danger is not great, plus there is Steven, a senior magician, there is basically no danger, just to let his children see the world.

In a few moments, Teliphontel Rosseff arrived, and they had heard about it, and they were very nervous when they came.

Enao acted aggressively, invited Steven, and soon arrived at the gates of the city.

Rowan had not seen the way of fighting in this world, so he followed Steven closely, and when he came to the door, he found that the army of the City Lord's Mansion had already gathered here, there were about three or four hundred people, almost all of them were knights, and the military appearance was good, neat and uniform, and there was no flowery wording or passionate departure after arriving, and he set off almost immediately.

After all, for Sakura City, the loss of the population of several villages at once, this kind of event, is no less than a war.

The place of the incident is very far away from the city, far away from the town, when it is almost nearby, the crowd of people from more to less, and then to no one, very deserted, although only three or five days, enough to see the changes here, until everyone came to the place of the incident, only to see a few soldiers guarding the entrance of the village.

Seeing most of them coming, these soldiers were relieved and greeted them one after another.

Luo Wen had already arrived at the back of the team at this time, and looked at it from a distance, and he didn't know what they said, but he could only see that the expression on the face of the city lord was a little worse, and the mentor of his own family was also heavy at the moment, and after everyone dismounted, they quickly came to the head of the village and saw the scene in the village.

At the head of the empty village, hundreds of corpses were neatly placed on the ground, lined up in four rows, each corpse covered with a layer of white cloth, which can only be described by a tragic word. At the same time, there was a foul rancid smell in the air, which made people nauseous and retching, and most of the soldiers covered their mouths and noses with water-soaked white cloths, which was too bad to smell. Rowan himself took some water and found a cloth to cover his mouth.

But Rowan found a strange thing, except for the unpleasant smell, there was no trace of blood, and he looked around, and found that there was no blood on the ground around him, and there were no flies on the corpse, nor other scavenging animals, or other things, which was very weird.

After some negotiation with the soldiers, Rowan saw Mentor Steven walk up and examine the body.

Steven put on gloves, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and examined several corpses from the first corpse, and at the same time, he was still silently reading something in his mouth, and then motioned to the soldiers to cover the white cloth, and after asking a few questions, his face was a little grim, he looked around from a distance, and called all the apprentices to the front, saying, " No matter what happens, as a magician, the first thing to do is to calm down and then figure out how to deal with it, you four, go check it out for yourself and tell me the results. ”

Observation is also an important subject for a magician, even though several of them are just apprentices to magic.

Terdorosef, you look at me, I look at you, finally endured the stench and approached the corpse, of course, they also put on gloves, at this time, Rowan had already begun to examine the second corpse, although the stench was unpleasant, he still endured, and after examining the two corpses, until the third corpse, he asked the soldier for a skinning knife.

Rowan just wants to prove his conjecture, not to really dissect the corpse, the mentor's mental power is strong enough to scan it directly with mental power, but Rowan can't do it yet, he can only verify it in this most primitive way.

The corpse was white and terrible white, and there was no trace of it all over the body, and after Rowan conducted a knife cutting test on the third corpse, he ended the inspection, returned the skinning knife to the soldier, and retreated to Steven.

Rowan has actually come to the conclusion in his heart that these people have lost all the blood in their bodies and died, but it is not excessive blood loss in the ordinary sense, but the lack of very important red blood cells in the blood. They still have something in their veins, but they don't have red blood cells, and their blood vessels have lost so many red blood cells, and they have become very slender and very white by this time.

Everyone may know that the important part of red blood cells is iron, and if the simple red blood cells are gone, someone must need the red blood cells in the blood, or the iron in the blood, what is this concept.

Iron has two states under oxidation conditions, one is bivalent, the other is trivalent, people in this world are still very ignorant of chemistry and physics, and do not know some of the changes, or maybe someone does not want to understand their mysteries, anyway, no one knows, rust in the ordinary sense, is naturally trivalent iron, as for bivalent iron, the biggest source is from the human body itself, after all, it is not a secret that there is iron in the blood, in some disciplines of magicians, blood is also a special raw material, and sometimes it is used as a weapon。

After a while, everyone checked and retreated to Steven's side with a pale face. But just looking at their faces, these three people don't need to eat when they go home for a while.

After seeing that his apprentice had finished inspecting, Steven came to Enao and said coldly, "This matter is my fault, although this matter was not done by the magician, but it is related to the magician. He didn't say much, saying he would be responsible for the incident.

Enao's face also softened, as long as he has a relationship with the magician, then his guilt can be a little smaller, after all, the population of three villages died, a total of seven or eight hundred human lives, this is not livestock, but living human life, although human life is not valuable in this world, but this is human life after all, this kind of thing happens in his own territory, Enao has the main responsibility, and the development of the territory is also inseparable from his own people.

Steven glanced back at Rowan and the other three disciples, although he didn't understand why he came out so early, but seeing the expression on his face, he knew that he might know something.

"Tell me what you've discovered, Terdor, you come first. ”

Terdo's face turned red and he said, "Mentor, I only found that they were bleeding to death, and there were marks on their wrists, but judging from their expressions, they should have been voluntary. I didn't notice anything else, and I don't know what's going on. ”

"Tateffin, what about you?"

"Mentor, my brother's observation is similar, but I guess it's a religion, and it's probably the Scarlet Religion. Her words are very certain, she usually reads some miscellaneous books, and she can only think of this.

Steven looked at the female disciple with some surprise and expressed his appreciation, he turned his head, "Rousseff, what about you?"

Rousseff's performance was very calm, he had been thinking about it before, and then he said eloquently, "Mentor, according to my observation, these people are definitely the products of an evil religious ritual, and they are related to blood, originally my guess was also the blood red religion, after all, there was a precedent in the empire before, and the blood red religion hurt a lot of lives, but then I saw their expressions, I felt that it was not, but the specific situation is not clear." The purpose of the Scarlet Religion is the desire of the seven deadly sins, they crave blood, they tend to do whatever it takes, and they don't care about the lives of others at all, so I believe that it is unlikely that they will use such peaceful means to make these people die voluntarily, and the Scarlet Religion does not seem to have any gentle means to collect blood. ”

Teliphon's face turned red.

Steve turned his gaze to Rowan and said, "What did you find?" ”

Rowan raised his head, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "There is no doubt that this matter is established as a religion, and I have summarized the following points, first, these people must have died voluntarily, and they must have been instilled with some will before they died, maybe it was bewitchment, maybe it was hypnosis, maybe it was instilled with some drugs, these people were very excited, so they could behave so calmly and calmly after death." Second, these people died very strangely, although they died of blood, but they did not lose all the blood, but the 。。。。。。 in the blood I don't know how to describe it, it's the red part, I read a book that said that the red part of the human blood may contain very special iron, and they just lost these things, so, I suspect, they should be from the Great Demon Weapon Sect of the Ancient Refining Weapon. He didn't dare to directly say the name of the bivalent iron in it, for fear of being killed directly, who knows what taboos there are in this world.

Steven was shocked, this disciple was simply unexpected, he actually guessed the final result, this is simply incredible, he finally has some doubts now, this guy Rowan has a talent for unforgettable, it seems that the little guy's books have not been read in vain these days.

Steven was very much in agreement with Rowan's performance, he looked around and found that everyone else was looking at him, but he was already a little dissatisfied with his current behavior, after all, teaching on this occasion is indeed a bit ungood, after all, so many people have died.

Steven smiled awkwardly, turned his head, and still said to Rowan unhurriedly, "Knowledge is the most important thing for a magician, remember, observation comes first, but the mind is the key, Rowan you did a good job."

Enao City Lord, this is indeed the handiwork of the Demon Weapon Sect, in today's magic world, only they will collect human blood with such fanfare and make powerful magic weapons, but how can a magic weapon be so easy to make, only seven or eight hundred people may not reach one-tenth of a magic weapon, they will definitely take action, so let's do it, I will report to the headquarters immediately after I go back, and ask for support, after all, the Demon Weapon Sect is also a great sect, and my strength alone is not enough to destroy them, and this time we have already startled the snakes, I am afraid that they will lie dormant for a while, and there will be no trouble for the time being。 ”

Enao breathed a sigh of relief, although he was very dissatisfied with Steve's previous performance, but the latter words made him relaxed, as long as he didn't die again, he, the city lord, would not be punished, and if he told the Magic Guild, such a big event, the Magic Guild should take it very seriously.

Thinking of this, Enao said, "Then thank you Director Steve, there are many inconveniences here, I'll send you back first." ”

The scene needs to be cleaned up, the corpses need to be buried, these are the biggest things at the moment, and since the cause of the matter has been determined, these things must be disposed of quickly, otherwise it may have bad results and cause a large-scale epidemic.

All three villages died in three days, which is too bizarre for ordinary people, and the news of this world is so closed that if it is not discovered by passers-by, it is not known how long it will take to be discovered.

Faced with this kind of thing, Rowan could only sigh and shake his head, if it was in his previous life, I am afraid that this kind of thing would have been known to the whole world.

On the way back, Steven didn't speak all the way, but thoughtfully, and the four people below didn't dare to speak, for fear that the mentor would be angry, and the hierarchy of this world was far more terrifying than Rowan thought.

When he went back that day, Steve asked Penders to file with the Magic Guild, which almost immediately attracted the attention of the above, after all, the Demon Weapon Sect is also a great sect, and it is absolutely premeditated to provoke such a big case for no reason, and it must be guarded against.

Of course, Luo Wen didn't need to know these things, and after some time, the four of them stayed in the magic institute with a very tacit understanding, and they opened the book of the history of religion in the mainland.

Rowan was in the limelight in front of his mentors, which naturally aroused their jealousy, although Rowan had always been better than them.
