The tall Akins had a well-defined face, his cheeks were a little dark from the wind and sun, his black skin had some traces of sharp blades, the scabbard of the long sword on his waist was polished, and the holster of the gun was also badly worn, and the commander of the Black Iron Army exuded a strong male hormonal aura from head to toe.

The guards behind him were all left outside the door, and the military boots made of animal skins and some metal made of animal skins made of heavy thumping sound when they walked on the wooden bottom board, walked to the desk and looked at the young man who was looking up at him at the moment, his lips slightly opened.

"May I sit?"

Luo Ning pretended to be surprised, hesitated for a moment, then got up and put his right hand on his eyebrows and bent down to salute respectfully, which he had learned from De Jong, and then responded respectfully.

"Of course, my house is on your turf."

Akins sat down, his face calm and unobtrusive, reminded in a high-pitched voice characteristic of a soldier.

"As a member of the Order Church, an ally of the Black Iron Army, you can sit down and not always stand."

Luo Ning returned to his position and sat down, looking at the commander of the Black Iron Army in front of him, a more accurate description should be the bandit leader.

"According to common sense, it should take another week or so for the Black Iron Army to come, you must have something very important, if I can help, I will do my best."

In fact, the witch's inevitable event dream reminder has long foreshadowed that the other party will come early, but at this time, you have to pretend that you don't know anything.

Akins looked down, thought for a moment, and looked up.

"According to common sense, it will take about a week for the Black Iron Army, but what happened to Mr. De Jong made me have to change my itinerary temporarily." He snapped his fingers back.

The soldiers carrying the corpse at the door entered the house, lowered the wooden stretcher, and exited.

Luo Ning looked at the corpse on the stretcher, naturally it was De Jong, and after a while, he got up and rushed over and knelt in front of the stretcher, looking at a loss, as if he didn't know before, his voice trembled, with a crying voice.

"It's Mr. De Jong, how could he be like this?"

Looking at the young man who was kneeling in front of the stretcher, trembling, Akins stood up straight, saluted, and walked over after about ten seconds.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, he committed suicide by cutting his wrists in the room, and by the time the soldiers found out, he had lost a lot of blood, and the military doctors treated him, but it was too late."

Luo Ning looked at the corpse, there were cut marks on his wrist, and they were so deep that they almost cut it off, and there were some intricate black textures on the wound on the wrist like the roots of plants.

The last time I saw De Jong, he was still an ordinary person, and it should have been after he went back that his fateful event began, making him an Awakened One.

"Could it be that De Jong cut his wrist in order to check his original fate card, because the injury was so severe that it eventually led to excessive blood loss and death?"

Just as he was about to leave the wrist, Luo Ning hesitated slightly, and continued to look at the wrist, in addition to the wound that almost cut the wrist, there were bruises on the wrist.

Moving his gaze to the other intact wrist, he also saw a bruise, which circled around the wrist.

"There are bruises on both wrists."

He suddenly thought of the witch Cheryl, who had been caught by the Black Iron Army, when Cheryl was also handcuffed and shackled, and after the handcuffs were opened, there were such bruises on her wrists, the range was about the same size, and it took about two days for the bruises to disappear.

This proves that De Jong was handcuffed and shackled within two days.

It was the Black Iron Army!

There is another piece of evidence that can be so certain.

De Jong is a higher member of the Order Church than himself, and the magic of the Order Church must have mastered, including those healing potions and the like, if he cuts his wrist and the wound is too severe, he will definitely use powerful healing potions to save himself, and he will never die because of such a small mistake.

What's more, he would never be stupid enough to cut such a deep wound when he checked his original fate card, and if he wanted to cut such a deep fatal wound, he would never succeed at one time by doing it to himself, and there would definitely be other scratches, which is the same as committing suicide by cutting his wrists, and the general deceased will leave a lot of tentative scratches on his wrists.

The most important thing is that now the original fate card on De Jong's body has disappeared, thinking of this, he looked at the ankle, and there were also clear shackles on the ankle, and the combination of this information made Luo Ning think of something bad.

This means that De Jong was handcuffed and shackled, and then his wrists were cut open and his original destiny cards were taken.

The murderer was Akins, who killed De Jong and took the fate card, and of course, in order to avoid becoming a cursed, the commander must have asked his men to do it for him.

Based on the last time he helped investigate the soldiers who were cursed because the witch told him some information, Akins must have known that he was the Awakened, so he didn't come this time to return the corpse, but to get the original fate card on his body.

The last time the bounty hunter predicted whether De Jong would reveal Ronin's identity, he was completely wrong, and not only that, but De Jong also revealed that he was also an Awakened One, and eventually incurred the disaster of death.

At the same time, a little worse premonition began to emerge.

The witch said that she had received information that Akins would come today, so she used the identity of "cousin" to cover up and plan to act, according to common sense, the witch will weigh the gains and losses, whether she can get the thief's information last night or not, she will come back this morning to implement her plan and complete her inevitable events, and now the witch has not returned, it is possible that she was discovered by the other party in the process of tracking, and then arrested, Akins has killed the witch.

The witch also hid something from herself, and the secret agent of the witch Defia told Cheryl Akins that she would come today, and must have told her that Akins came to Crow Town today to become the awakened herself, and the reason why she didn't say it was because she was afraid of running away and couldn't borrow the identity of her "cousin".

So I've always been a pawn in these people's plans.

"What a ruthless witch."

Luo Ning sighed, and his right hand involuntarily began to touch his chest, the matter has come to this, you can't sit still, you have to fight.

It is foreseeable that this commander will definitely not do it himself to avoid being cursed, and will definitely let his soldiers do it for him, so his opportunity is not impossible.

At this time, a hand reached out, wide and thick, covered with calluses left by the use of weapons, it was Akins.

"De Jong mentioned to me that the Order Church has encountered a big problem because of the slate rubbing you sent, and now that De Jong is dead, my ally Order Church is the only one left with you, so you are now the only ally of the Black Iron Army, I can empathize with your grief, by the way, have you cracked the content of the slate?"

This sentence confirms the information that De Jong betrayed himself before, and the other party's last inquiry was just to see if he had cracked the content of the slate and become an awakener, if he became an awakened person, there would be a fate card, and the other party would definitely kill him.

Hearing this greeting, Luo Ning realized that it was not time to fight to the death, the thief did not get useful information, and the witch should not have been revealed after being caught, the other party did not know his progress in the new power system, and maybe there was a turning point, as long as he had not studied the content of the slate thoroughly, he was not an awakened person, and the other party should not be able to do it to himself.

But the problem is that his current state does not look like he has not awakened, Akins is an awakened person, and he should also know what it will be like for someone who has not completed the fateful event for a long time to open the wheel of fate.

At this thought, Luo Ning stretched out his hand and put it on the calloused hand and got up.

"It's not completely cracked yet, I'm actually in a very bad state, and now all you see is my disguised appearance, in order not to frighten the townspeople, you know that I am a teacher and a doctor, and I have to be in constant contact with the townspeople."

Akins paused and frowned slightly.

Ronin ignored Akins' change in expression and walked to the bedroom door.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you what I really look like, I hope it doesn't scare you."

Entering the bedroom, standing in front of the mirror, Ronin quickly carved out the ritual magic: the withered pattern, while whispering the chanting incantation of magic.

In about ten seconds, he looked old in the mirror, with his teeth falling out, his hair thinning and pale, and his skin full of wrinkles, like a centenarian.

Just as he was about to turn around and walk out of the bedroom, Akins walked in.

Luo Ning deliberately made a silent gesture and pointed to Dong Nina, who was taking a nap on the bed.

Akins glanced at the girl on the bed, stood there and looked at the extremely old young man, his expression revealed loss and unwillingness, and after a moment turned to go out.

Luo Ning slowly followed out, closed the bedroom door, walked to the desk, sat down and panted.

"Look, this is the real me, I'm only twenty years old...... Because the damn slate content has become what it is now, I don't know what will become in the future. ”

Akins apparently suddenly lost all patience and waved his hand.

"Okay, I have to leave, I hope to hear good news from you later, the contents of the slate are back to normal, and you have to inform me in advance when the time comes, and you will take De Jong's place in the Black Iron Army."

Ronin let out a long sigh of relief as he watched Adkins angrily push the door open and leave with the guards.

Ritual Magic: Blight actually came in handy when used on yourself.

And this commander's acting skills are good, he has obviously caught the witch and knows that he is the witch's companion, but he still hasn't killed himself at the moment, the purpose should just be to wait for himself to awaken, and then kill himself to get the fate card, by the way, paralyze himself, let himself think that the witch was not caught.

Sitting on the chair, until the movement on the street disappeared, Luo Ning's withered state disappeared, got up and walked to the window, opened the curtain and looked at the corner, the street was deserted again, and the Black Iron Army had left.

The residents of the town are still hiding in their homes because they are afraid of the Black Iron Army.

Looking back at the corpse on the ground, he stepped forward and examined it carefully, then carried the body outside the house and dragged it to an abandoned house in the town.

Back in the room, Luo Ning felt that there was no way to stay in the territory of the Black Iron Army, at least not in Red Crow Town, and he had to change places as soon as possible.

Of course, you must first make a trip to Raventown to return Mr. Tersu's books before changing places.

Now that it has become the target of the Black Iron Army, it is no longer possible to offend the Money Trust, after all, the Church of Order is finished, and the Brotherhood of Destiny is too weak to provide him with a strong identity protection, and it is foreseeable that the future will be even more sad, and must be treated with caution.

In addition, he had to help Franklin solve the problem of his companion's mutation.

Anyway, I have to go to Raventown!
