Chapter 7 "Aftermath" (Asking for a monthly pass in the middle of the month~)
Answer, answer, amidst the sound of horses' hooves, seven or eight dragon-scale horses rushed into the gate of Sudbury like a whirlwind, and then galloped to the southeast.
"What bastard is so arrogant, and he doesn't care about hitting people!" a gatekeeper scolded with some dissatisfaction as his face was hurt by the hurricane of the dragon-scaled horses that were speeding by.
The eastern exile of Sudbury Valley never closes its gates, except in special circumstances.
His companion motioned with his eyes not to scold any more, then leaned over and lowered his voice, "Don't you see that Lord Jacob is in the lead?
Hearing that he was one of the members of the Council of Lords of the Eastern Exile Land, the swordsman who was the first to speak closed his mouth tightly and looked around vigilantly, fearing that his casual complaint just now would be remembered by someone who cared about it, and that would result in a beating at best, or a fainting blow and thrown into the forest.
After waiting for a few dozen seconds, he asked suspiciously, "What happened in Sudbury City, why did Lord Jacob rush to the road in such a hurry?"
The companion who stopped him from scolding Jacob whispered in a tone that was both fearful and uplifting, "I heard that Master Jacob's son, Master Warren, was killed in his villa, and none of his guardian knights, magicians, and swordsmen survived!"
"What?!Warren ...... The young master was killed?Who is so bold? Isn't he afraid of Lord Jacob's revenge?!" Warren was notorious in the eastern exile, and the swordsman guarding the gate was so happy that he almost blurted out cheers, but he had just lost his words and paid more attention to this aspect, so he noticed it in time and forcibly endured it. Then a great surprise rose from the bottom of his heart, I don't know how many years in the Eastern Exile Dao had not happened such a great event, and someone dared to challenge the authority of a lord, and still killed his only son!
His companions were well-informed and liked to show off their strengths in this area, and they quietly surrounded them when they saw several other gatekeepers curious. So he said with a little excitement: "The slaves locked up in Young Master Warren's villa are all missing! It seems that Young Master Warren offended people who should not be offended when he kidnapped people, so he was found by a strong man and killed one by one. Gee. Without this hatred, who would have done such a ruthless hand?"
The gatekeeper who was the first to speak looked back at the end of the street where Jacob and his party had disappeared, and sighed softly: "Lord Jacob only has the son of Young Master Warren, and he will definitely not give up his hatred easily. Be careful during this time. lest he be the object of Lord Jacob's anger. ”
"Yes, it is said that it happened in the afternoon, because the sound was isolated by its own magic array. So it wasn't discovered until the evening. With so much time, the strong man must have escaped far away, and it would be difficult for Lord Jacob to catch the murderer. He is of werewolf blood, and under such a heavy blow, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain his sanity, hey, there are many people in the Eastern Exile Land who will die in vain!" the well-informed gatekeeper shook his head with a little fear. Fortunately, they were guards who belonged to Sudbury City. As long as he didn't seek his own death, Jacob wouldn't vent his anger on them, that is, he didn't take the nine city lords into account.
Jacob is a fourth-level knight, werewolf blood, in the same class. Speed, strength, agility, claw attack power, self-defense, and recovery are all outstanding, and it also has the ability to rage, evil shadow strike, roaring shock, dark and weakened aura, etc., it is a very good bloodline, but the disadvantage is that it does not have long-range supernatural attack ability, and it cannot maintain its sanity in the moonlight, and it will become a real giant wolf.
............
Garden Villa living room.
Jacob looked at the fragments of flesh on the ground, his eyes widened, and streaks of blood appeared on his eyeballs, staining them blood-red. His own son, the son who has been raised for nearly 30 years, has become such a puddle of minced flesh and blood? You can see internal organs, fingers and other parts everywhere!
His fists clenched, and long gray-white body hairs peeked out of the gaps in his black armor gloves.
Sensitive sniffling, Jacob said in a tone as oppressed as if a storm was coming, "The smell of blood is not only Warren's, but also someone else's. Damn bastard, he actually made their flesh and blood mixed together and couldn't be separated. ”
"It seems that Master Warren can only pick up some relatively complete body parts and bury them. The knights who followed Jacob thought to themselves, and then walked around the living room under the pretext of checking the traces, and no one dared to face Jacob's wrath.
"Mr. Spencer, please check this place with your magic and see if you can find any clues. Jacob's long gray-white hairs bulged out on his face, as if he couldn't suppress his emotions, but in order to get the enemy's information, he forcibly resisted the desire to kill in his heart, which was the desire to tear all the humanoid creatures he saw to pieces, "When I know who you are, no matter what the price, I will make you kneel in front of Warren's coffin, kneel there forever!
A middle-level magician can become a lord of the Eastern Exile in his own right, or serve as an advisor to the nine city lords, so Jacob, a fourth-level great knight, is not qualified or able to hire a middle-level magician at all, only Spencer, a second-ring magician, brings his students as his magic advisors - due to the weirdness and unpredictability of magic, if there is no magic advisor in the dangerous eastern exile, even the great knight will suffer a lot!
Spencer pulled a crystal ball out of his pocket, placed it on the tip of the black magic wand, and began to perform astrology.
The crystal ball became pitch black, like the starry sky at night, and each star drew a unique trajectory.
"There is no hint of astrology, it seems that he is a magician who is good at the astrological system, and the magic he used to kill Young Master Warren is the fireball technique, and the preliminary judgment is the three rings. Spencer didn't get any feedback from astrology, but judged it empirically.
Jacob's eyes were red and he pointed to most of the bar counter and the pool of flesh and blood that had been blown to pieces: "This kind of powerful explosive magic is just three rings?!" He obviously didn't trust Spencer's judgment when he became irritable.
The explosion shattered the bottles of wine on the wine rack behind the bar, and all the wine flowed out, soaking the chairs that were only half left, soaking the floor, and the rich smell of wine mixed with the smell of blood made Jacob's nose a little out of order.
Spencer pointed to a little bit of glass shards on the ground that were different from the others: "Lord Jacob, you look at this, it proves that there were still a lot of alchemical explosives that were detonated at that time. It seems that after Young Master Warren or Real was controlled, his body was full of explosives, and then he hugged another person and was ignited by the fireball technique, so the power was greater than that of the ordinary fireball technique. ”
"I, no, want to hear how Warren died, I just want to know who that bastard is who should be torn to shreds!" Jacob spat out word by word, then roared.
Spencer took a breath and once again urged the crystal ball on the black magic wand, this time the crystal ball was pitch black with no stars shining.
An old, evil voice came from inside the crystal ball: "Adhering to the unknown of fate, the flickering river of time, summon my magician, you can exchange five gems for the answer to one question, limited to one." ”
This is the three-ringed astrological magic "Astral Question", which can ask a question to an unknown evil being, and it only answers yes or no. If the question does not exceed the level of the questioner himself, the correct rate is about 75%.
Spencer's wand appears to be a Level 3 magic item.
The five beautiful flame rubies immediately disappeared as soon as they touched the crystal ball, and then Spencer asked, "I wonder if the magician who killed Warren only had a grudge against him in the past few days?"
The time frame is shortened, and the investigation can be facilitated.
Without hesitation, the old evil voice replied, "Yes." ”
After hearing the answer, Jacob couldn't wait to order: "You, you, and you, you hurry out and inquire about the news, inquire about the news from all channels, and see which magician Warren has had a conflict with in the past few days! We must hurry up and catch that magician before he escapes too far, and then let him know what it is like to regret!"
The knights left the garden villa one after another, while Spencer put away the crystal ball, and with the help of the remaining two knights, checked the traces of the explosion in place, the traces of the direction of the fireball technique, etc., but unfortunately found nothing.
"Lord Jacob, let's go check the other dead people's places and the secret rooms where the slaves are imprisoned, and there may be clues left behind the magician's oversight. However, the villa is very large, and we are understaffed, so we need to transfer my students and the rest of your attendants. Spencer suggested.
Jacob rubbed his forehead: "Mr. Spencer, these things are left to you, I can't control my emotions now, I can't calm down, I just want to kill and shred that bastard magician!
Spencer, who had Jacob's consent, first asked the Emerald Bird to inform his students, and then searched and inspected the villa separately from the other two knights.
The living room fell silent, and the atmosphere of sadness, desolation, and extreme depression seemed to be thickened with Jacob's irritable pacing.
"Bastard, bastard, clown, I'm going to kill you!" Jacob kept nagging.
Suddenly, thick and sturdy gray cobwebs appeared on his feet, entangled him to death!
In the place where the smell of wine is strong, an invisible figure suddenly appears, wearing a brown-red tight jacket, white breeches, black boots, and a handsome face wearing monocles with a faint smile.
Lucien did not take the opportunity to escape, but boldly stayed at the scene of the murder against everyone's intuitive judgment! and skillfully hid in a corner without a trace, using the smell of wine and blood to conceal the keen sense of smell brought by Jacob's werewolf blood.
Lucien waited patiently here for four or five hours, just to wait for the opportunity to kill Jacob! Otherwise, if Jacob found out what happened, then what was the point of killing Warren himself? And as long as Jacob died, his status and property would definitely cause waves, and how could the other lords take care of themselves.
This is Lucien's "aftermath" work! )
