Li Tianrui didn't think about destroying the baron's body directly, but even if he wanted to burn the body, he couldn't dispose of it in the room, so he decided to transport the body out first.

Li Tianrui was afraid that the baron's corpse was poisonous, so he found a few mages from the mage class, plus himself and Kaisha, and cast a teleportation magic together, lifted the corpse from the bed, and then transported it out of the room. When the corpse was lifted, the black juice oozing from it continued to drip to the ground, and the strange smell in the air was so strong that it made people dizzy.

They sent the body out of the window and then transported it to the open space on the edge of the ducal palace. In the room where the baron died, Kai'Sa summoned a few mages to wash one side with positive energy and then scorch the other with flames. Then he cleaned up the remaining garbage with water magic, and finally ventilated it with wind magic, but the pervasive sourness never completely dissipated.

As soon as they had carried the bodies and disposed of the room, several captains of the city guard arrived.

Li Tianrui let them see Baron Baucus's body, and none of them understood what was going on. However, the captains expressed their determination to follow the Chinese, and one of them said: "Don't worry, my lord, Bocas must be self-defeating." There are too many magic potions in this world, and it is not surprising that he uses any of them. I don't think you have to care. You can do with Bocas's corpse, and since even the Duke has handed over the city to you, we will support the Tower of China no matter what happens. ”

"Your loyalty depends on how you become. Li Tianrui said.

He sent these city guards to accompany his men to maintain law and order, and Kai'Sa on one side asked, "Commander, now that they have seen it, do you want to destroy Baron Baucus's body?"

"Destroy it. This strange corpse always makes Li Tianrui very uneasy.

Kai'Sa waved her arm, and a fiery snake wrapped around the corpse, which was so damp that it was difficult to ignite, and Kai'Sa had to keep burning it with flames until the liquid evaporated in the sizzling sound, and it gradually began to burn. It took about twenty minutes for the body to be completely burned to ashes. During this time, Li Tianrui stood silently behind her, watching the smoke and dust drift into the air.

"Commander, Commander!" At this time, Cao Lu ran over and reported: "Two elves have come and want to see you, saying that there is something very important. ”

————————————

Li Tianrui was taken aback when he saw the two elves in the living room of the Duke's Palace, because the two of them were covered with a shallow protective cover that fit close to their bodies, wrapping them inside.

"My name is Magna. An elf of no age said, "A priestess of rain and dew, and a patrolman. ”

"I'm An Lin. Another male elf said, "I'm also a Patrolman, a mage and an alchemist. Are you the new lord here?"

"I will be the chairman of the Provisional Government of Greenwood City. If you're looking for someone in charge, it's me. Li Tianrui said, "Do you think I'm not safe here, and do you need to use a shield to protect yourself?"

"It's not against you, it's that the city is not safe. No matter who you are, you should act fast. We have warned Bocas, but he ignored our warnings and hoped that you Chinese would be different from him. An Lin said.

"Warning Baucus? warning what?" asked Li Tianrui.

An Lin said with a serious expression: "We told him the day before yesterday that in this city, there are some evil things awakening, and those who are contaminated with him will die a painful death. But Bocas thinks we're talking nonsense. ”

"He didn't believe everything we said and kicked us out," Magna said. ”

"Evil thing?" Li Tianrui took a step forward and asked, "Please tell me in detail what is going on." ”

Magna glanced at An Lin, who nodded at him, and she said, "We elves sometimes go out of our neighborhoods and go around the city. Especially these days, the situation is tense, and we need to gather some intelligence. The day before yesterday, when I was patrolling the city, I felt a very evil force appear in the house in the north block. But when I tracked it down, I found that the room was empty and there was no one inside.

But I found traces of magical experiments and alchemy there, as well as some dried black liquid from which the evil breath came.

But I haven't studied alchemy much, so I can't tell what that black thing is. ”

Li Tianrui and Kai Sha heard this, and the ominous premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger. They glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

"However, as a priest of rain and dew, I am very sensitive to this power, even among the elves, I am the most sensitive type, I followed the faint breath left in the air, and found that the things in the room were divided into several ways and placed in different parts of the city. However, when I traced the past, I found that most of these places were forbidden places. Some were in the ducal estates, some in important warehouses, and some in the homes of nobles.

I tried a few times but couldn't get inside and see what it was. I was stopped everywhere. ”

An Lin said: "Later, Magna came to me and took me to the house, but when we got there together, the house was actually burned down. No trace remained. ”

"So you chose to go to Baron Baucus?" asked Li Tianrui.

"We were looking for the Duke of Parsa at first that day, but the Duke avoided him. So we can only look for Baron Baucus, who has real military power in the city. Hearing that he was a true confidant of the Duke, I thought he would be able to solve some problems, but in fact he was not willing to do anything. An Lin said.

"No wonder ......," Li Tianrui muttered to himself.

"What?"

"Nothing, please continue. ”

"But we don't want to give up after being rejected. Later, Magna came up with a solution, she found a magic item that enhanced her elemental perception, and then used that to find a more subtle clue, which stretched all the way out of the Green Forest City. Yesterday we followed this clue out and went out to investigate, and finally discovered a very amazing secret. An Lin said.

Magna said, "We found a village inhabited by humans, but the village was plagued and almost all the people died. ”
