The dinner hosted by the Trist family was a great success and was widely sung by the wealthy businessmen who were invited; In particular, the merchants on the side of the vice president of Guccino are even more pleased, and they are about to add a magical commodity and trade route, these are all glittering platinum coins, and the people who come to Trist Manor every day to visit can be said to be endless.

Zuo Ze didn't have the time to deal with these small businessmen, so it was better for Witt, who was a housekeeper, to deal with them, and continue to be a landless nobleman who was eating and waiting to die. Zuo Ze now has added a new hobby to his daily routine in addition to normal exercises, monitoring the actions of personnel in major organizations.

Every afternoon, Zuo Ze came to the study constantly, eating food, drinking wine, and looking at the picture in the crystal ball, as if he was watching a silent movie to play a boring day. Watching at least mid-level professionals have to disguise themselves as dock workers, travelers, foot vendors, and other small people in order to find out the news; Zuo Ze felt a burst of refreshment in his heart, they were all cheap skins.

Until one time in the stronghold of the Harpists Alliance, after seeing Diggle, Zuo Ze looked at him with mockery and didn't know it when he was discovered. Zuo Ze teased the chubby snowball in his hand, while thinking back to his own warning, it seems that he was not taken to heart by the harpist, he didn't intend to provoke them, it seems that they will be added to the final harvester, damn it.

More than half a month passed like this, until one morning it was broken.

Looking at the Darkborn Stalker who had been dead in bed for a long time, Zuo Ze's heart was full of murderous intent. Although after summoning them, Zuo Ze didn't care about them, after all, he was Witt's subordinate; But being killed quietly like this, how not to make Zuo Ze angry, this is the first summoned creature he sacrificed.

"Did you find any clues?" Zuo Ze asked with suppressed anger.

Witt stood aside, shook his head and said, "After receiving the notice from the adults, we immediately sealed off the manor, except for finding that there were too many negative energy elements in the room, there were no other traces at all, and there was no sign of struggle when Hoffman died. ”

When the morning came, Zuo Ze was still eating breakfast, Ao suddenly reminded him in his heart that his summon had died, and thought that Zuo Ze, who was exposed, had asked everyone in the restaurant to prepare for an attack, but after waiting for a few minutes, no trace of the enemy was found.

Half an hour later, Witt came back to know that it was a false alarm, Zuo Ze informed everyone to return to the manor, including Avril who went out to buy, and when everyone arrived, he found that Hoffman did not appear, and when he asked, he found that he was monitoring the crystal ball last night, and he should be resting in the room now.

It wasn't until the rest of the Darkspawn Stalkers sealed off the manor that Zuo Ze and his party arrived at Hoffman's room.

"How's it going on over there? Could it be a tentative attack by some group? Zuo Ze turned his head to look at Witt and asked one after another.

Witt continued to shake his head, denied Zuo Ze's suspicions, and said: "In addition to Hoffman, Les was also a member of the monitoring crystal ball last night, I already asked just now, from last night to now, these organizations have not been dispatched, they have not found us until now, and they have suspected that we are leaving, after all, our news has been spread for more than a month." ”

Zuo Ze nodded in agreement, he had been observing these organizations every afternoon, and naturally knew that they had slackened now. Zuo Ze closed his eyes, raised his perception to the limit, and explored Hoffman's room, and found that in addition to too many negative energy elements, there was not even any residual information about spell fluctuations, so Zuo Ze had no choice but to open his eyes.

Hoffman's soul has disappeared, otherwise Zuo Ze can use the six-ring spell to "resurrect" him to save him, and at the same time, he wouldn't be like now, he doesn't even know who the enemy is.

Waving his hand to let the others carry Hoffman's body out, Zuo Ze planned to cremate him, take away his ashes, and when he found the floating city, he would be buried there, after all, as a person of the Celestial Empire, he always pays attention to returning to the roots and entering the soil for peace.

Hoffman's funeral was very low-key, and in order not to attract attention, he had to be cremated in the garden, but it was said that Sir Trist held a barbecue in the garden.

When Hoffman was placed on the lumber pile, Zosawa lit the flame with his own hands. Looking at the raging fire, the crazy killing intent revealed in Zuo Ze's eyes, he just wanted to go home, why is there always some inexplicable trouble to find himself, Zuo Ze looked at the flames and thought; Hoffman's body was burned by the tongue of fire, and gradually turned to ashes, until the flames burned out, and Zuo Ze stood aside, watching, thinking, and waiting; In the end, Zuo Ze didn't care about the high temperature of the embers, and cleaned out Hoffman's ashes and put them in the bottle that Witt handed over.

Back in the study of the main building, Zuo Ze sat on the main seat without saying a word, constantly rubbing his temples; The atmosphere in the whole hall was very depressing, and the second cargo Vinda couldn't stand this atmosphere, so he moved his body uncomfortably, and the chair under him made a "creaking" moan.

The sound made by Vader interrupted Zuo Ze's deep thought, looking at everyone like sculptures, quiet and motionless, Zuo Ze put his hand on the table, buckled the table, and the soft voice reached everyone's ears, and after they all looked at Zuo Ze, he said calmly with murderous intent, "Everyone, Hoffman's matter will not end like this, now is not the time for us to mourn, finding the murderer is our most important thing." ”

Looking at the cheering people, Zuo Ze continued to speak, "I thought about this matter and found that my idea was wrong at the beginning, since there is a snowball monitoring the major organizations, and no changes have been found in them, then it can almost be ruled out, after all, after being discovered by them, a big war will definitely break out." Witt, Avril, do you remember what Nayef told us when we bought a house? ”

Witt and Avril were stunned when they heard this, Witt said hesitantly, "My lord, it's impossible, I think Nayev's words are completely unbelievable, once several merchants who died in the Baron's Mansion were ordinary people, it was too simple to kill them, it was possible to seek wealth, revenge and the like, after the murderer killed them, he blamed them on the Baron's Mansion, and after it was circulated, he cleared his suspicions, I think this is the truth of the death of those merchants." This has nothing to do with Hoffman's death. ”

Zuo Ze shook his hand at Witt and said analytically, "No, Witt, you're right. The deaths of a few merchants are of course insignificant, the problem is the rumors that circulate, the 'Forbidden Lands' and 'the ghost of someone who has seen the appearance of the Water Baron Kaidona', that's the point. Think of the plethora of negative energy elements in Hoffman's room and his vanished soul, what comes to mind. ”

Witt was silent, touching his chin and pondering; Zuo Ze said to everyone, "Except for Barnes Jr. and Vader, the rest of the people have gone out to investigate the affairs of the Baron of the Water, as well as the death method of those merchants, it is best to find the architectural drawings of the Baron's Palace, I think this Baron's Mansion hides a deep secret." Finally, when you are at the estate, you must work in pairs to avoid accidents again. ”
