Chapter 57: The Magicians' Guild
"Oh, Your Highness, don't talk about him like that, Mu Shi is already a normal person." Mu Xue glanced at Mu Shi apologetically, shook the young man's arm and said softly.
Mu Shi squinted, she didn't miss a touch of schadenfreude in Mu Xue's eyes, interesting, she could be actively approached by such a tall lady as Mu Xue, it was obvious that this man was Yun Chuyi, the current prince of the Yunchuang Empire.
"Really?" The prince looked at Mu Shi in disbelief, "It seems that he is indeed a normal person, this is not a place for you to come, for Xue'er's sake, you can leave by yourself." ”
This prince does have his capital, and he can talk more than his sister. Mu Shi thought secretly, and immediately smiled casually, with his arms behind his back and slightly bowed his head to Yun Chuyi, "Dear Royal Highness the Prince, I remember that the Magicians Guild issued a reward, since it is a reward, anyone can take it, right?" ”
"That's true, but what can you do about it?" Yun Chuyi didn't say anything unpleasant, and said lightly with mockery in his eyes.
"Do you have the ability, don't you know if you try it?" Mu Shi was not annoyed, his eyes looked directly at Yun Chuyi, and he was not afraid at all.
"Mu Shi, don't be rude to the prince!" Mu Xue reprimanded softly.
"Hah, interesting. I'd like to see what you're capable of! Yun Chuyi laughed, hugged Mu Xue's shoulders and walked inside.
"Young Master Mu Shi......" Mu Ziqing knew that he couldn't intervene in this matter, so he shouted with some concern, Mu Shi patted him on the shoulder, and after saying that it was okay, he followed.
Passing through the hall, through a long, dimly lit corridor, and through a metal door, there was a room half the size of a pitch, which was not only extremely large, but also surprisingly high.
There were not many people in the room, and they were standing in groups of three or five discussing something. Most of them wore mage robes, and the badge on their chests also shone brightly. As soon as they saw Yun Chuyi, they saluted and greeted each other, and as Yun Chuyi's intimate female companion, they were naturally full of the eyes of the gathering.
"Hey, you see it's His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't expect it to be so big."
"Yes, the last time I saw him, he was a child, but I didn't expect the royal family to send him over, and it seems that he also came to train him!"
"Who is the little beauty next to him? It's so good-looking, it's a good match! ”
"Who else? Of course, it's our genius Mu Xue in Yunqi City! I heard that the two of them are in love, and they are talented and beautiful~"
"Yes, what a couple!"
"It's too worthy, although the Mu family has lost a little princess, but Mu Xue has won the favor of the prince, it seems that the loss is not big?"
"The Mu family is really calculating......
Mu Shi walked behind in a low-key manner, listening to the gossip around him, and couldn't help but bend his lips, it seems that Mu Xue's ambition is not small, if nothing else, this prince should be able to ascend to the throne, and even if he is not the queen, he will be a noble princess. And the cracks in the broken marriage contract between himself and the little princess have also been repaired.
That Mu Xue's status in the Mu family will not be the same.
Of course, it is also Mu Xue's ability to make the prince take a fancy to it!
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made it easy for the old man to find him, and thought you were going back." An old laugh sounded, and Mu Shi followed the sound to see that on the seat at the end, there were several old people in magic robes, and the elemental fluctuations around them were almost so thick that they were visible to the naked eye, and their smiles were very kind and kind.
"It's so strong!"
Mu Shi couldn't help but muttered to herself, although she couldn't sense the specific level, but compared to the old tree a few days ago, the strength of these people was only high. It is worthy of being the imperial capital where the strong gather, and I have seen a lot of the powerful people alone.
"President Bing said with a smile, I just came, how can I go back? It's just that Xue'er feels depressed and takes her out for a casual walk. Yun Chuyi restrained the arrogance he had towards Mu Shi just now, his attitude was much gentler, and he replied with a smile.
"That's the old man thinking too much." The old man known as the Ice Leader smiled and stepped down from his seat, a voice containing the power of the cold elemental resounded in the hall, "Everyone, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, then our bounty meeting will begin, right?" ”
The room, which had been bustling with activity, immediately fell silent, and everyone looked up at the powerful Wizards Guild Leader in cooperation.
President Bing nodded in satisfaction, looked around, and continued, "The specific content must have been known by everyone who can come here, so I won't specify it here. ”
Everyone nodded, this matter is known to the whole country, and it has even spread to other countries, who else doesn't know?
President Bing's expression became serious, and his kind voice changed to a lot more majestic, "This matter has a bad impact, but it can't solve the case for a long time. It's the old man who is not talented, so he has to ask for help. ”
"The elder doesn't have to blame himself, even the royal family can't find out about this matter, so how can it be your responsibility?" Yun Chuyi on the side spoke at the right time.
"Oh, I'm ashamed." President Bing looked guilty, the two of them acted back and forth, but in fact, everyone knew the delicate relationship between the royal family and the Wizards' Guild.
"Grown, let's be straightforward, what the hell is it that you can't even find out?" Someone interjected impatiently and asked.
President Bing glanced at several of his colleagues, nodded, and coughed lightly, "We examined all the deceased, but we didn't find any toxins in their bodies. This is the biggest doubt. ”
"If you can't find out what kind of poison the corpse is, you can't judge the source, the murderer has been at large, and the number of poisoned people has not stopped until now! We don't know, who will be poisoned next? Elder Bing finished speaking with a solemn expression, and the others also realized the seriousness of the situation.
Originally, the number of mages was far less than that of martial artists, and the number of mages in the Yunchuang Empire was barely equal to that of martial artists because of its geographical location, and if this poison could not be detected for a long time, the loss to the empire would be huge.
What's more, no one knows if the next poisoned person will be themselves.
"Grown, you can't even find out, so what can we do? There's no clue to that! Someone else raised doubts.
"Everyone, please be calm." President Bing smiled faintly, patted his hands lightly, and the originally smooth floor in front of him slowly cracked, and the cold air flow people diffused, bringing out a faint dead air.
"Huh?" Mu Shi's pupils shrank, and she touched her forehead inexplicably, just now, she seemed to feel that Zhihai shook twice, closed her eyes and sensed carefully, but found that there was no movement, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was the illusion caused by her being too nervous just now.
"Chief Bing, what is this?" Yun Chuyi was the closest, and naturally he was the first to be washed by the air current, so he immediately vigilantly escorted Mu Xue back, frowning and asking.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment." Ice Leader's hands glowed with clear blue light, and the power of the cold elemental quickly condensed, forming an ice platform that exuded a cold aura visible to the naked eye.
"It's a good hand to condense the element." Mu Shi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, with her strength, at most, she could only condense the similar forms of the elements, but it was absolutely impossible to truly transform them into real objects.
"Up!" The ice grew heavy, his five fingers clawed, and a figure swept out of the crack, and he was steadily pulled to the ice platform to lie down, and the icy cold air immediately surged up and surrounded him.
"This is ......" Seeing the figure clearly, even Mu Shi couldn't help but gasp.
On the ice platform, maybe he was still a person, his body was dry, as if he had been sucked dry of flesh and blood, the blackened skin and flesh were clinging to the bones, and his mouth and eyes were wide open, as if he was dead.
"This is a magician who recently died, a Dharma Sect." President Bing looked at the figure on the ice platform and sighed, waved his sleeves, and the crack in the ground slowly closed.
"Fa Zong, can't even Fa Zong resist it?" Someone shouted in a lost voice, and the others also had a tingling scalp, to reach the realm of Fazong, generally people with a little talent are about thirty years old. It's not easy to cultivate to this level, but it's like this, it's really chilling and terrifying.
"If you want me to die so painfully, it's better to kill me directly!" Someone couldn't help but mutter.
Magicians are noble and arrogant, coupled with their fragile bodies, they have always been delicate, and it is normal that they can't endure such torture.
"You are all famous existences in Yunqi City, and the old man is not talking nonsense, after these days of investigation, we found that this poison is very peculiar, and it will almost disappear after death, this Fa Sect envoy Guild A team leader, the poisoning was discovered early, so we saved some toxins in advance." Saying this, there were some tears in the eyes of the old man Bing, and it took a lot of perseverance to endure the pain to preserve the toxin.
"If you have faith, you can go up and check it out. If we can find out what kind of poison it is, we in the Wizards' Guild would be grateful. After Elder Bing finished speaking, he took a step back and made way for space.
The big room was quiet for a while, everyone could see the horror of this poison, if one accidentally stuck to himself, the next one to lie there would be himself.
President Bing saw everyone's hesitation in his eyes, and a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes. The people who can come here are basically sent by the major families and forces, even if they can't help, they have to see who can profit from it to make a, these people all have different minds.
Mu Shi's eyes flashed, she still didn't go up first, she still understood the truth of shooting the first bird. But for some reason, Mu Shi felt that she should know what kind of poison it was.
Fingers gently soothed his eyebrows, Mu Shi sensed the restless Zhihai, and it was certain that the moment this corpse appeared, Beiye seemed to have a feeling of alarm.
"Could it be that this poison has something to do with the northern night?" Mu Shi muttered to herself, she remembered that she would be trapped in a prison only when she was heavily poisoned in the middle of the night, and she had to use her knowledge of the sea to get out of trouble.
This is fun, it has something to do with the Northern Night, that is, it has something to do with the Demon Clan, could it be that in the dignified Yunchuang Emperor Capital, it was actually mixed with the Demon Clan?
