One hundred and fifty-seventh Sura fluttered
Did the face dancer appear in the iron mine, and he couldn't even locate the magic? Muhati couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What about the corpses?
Master Kotander muttered, his cloudy eyes moving towards Muhadi's face. "Some of the texts left by Karak, I speculate, may have something to do with the blasphemer's spells, or maybe the message of the dragon's transformation. The witch kings must have been extremely interested in these things. ”[]
"Anyway, we must find this thief at once. Rikas said in a loud voice, looking at the boy with trusting eyes. "I've heard that you have experience with face dancers in town, and I thought you could help us. ”
Although what Rikas said was a question sentence, judging from the tone, it clearly did not leave room for Muhathir to refuse.
"I want to see the scene first, no matter how good an assassin is, it is impossible to be foolproof. The boy didn't intend to refuse, so he agreed. "But two adults, my friend and I were dealing with the Crazy Horse tribe, which has always been hostile to Tyr, and now if I have to delay here. Then I hope that the Council will consider sending troops to help the Scorpion tribe deal with these crazy horses. ”
"But didn't you say that the sheikh of the Crazy Horse tribe ran to join the Witch King's coalition?" Rikas asked casually.
"They can't hide under the protection of the Witch Kings forever, and I only want the Council to commit to and protect the Scorpions' claims. ”
"That's fine. Rikas nodded, "Anyone who does not side with the revolution is an enemy of the revolution." When we're done cleaning up the Witch King's cubs, I'll personally lead the team to deal with those two-faced tribes!"
Getting the promise of the big man in Tyr made Muhati feel a little rewarded. He also had no intention of stalling for time, so he asked Cotander and Rikas to point him out the traces left by the thief.
Oddly enough, the boy had met the face dancer named Hediciher in Tyre, and knew a little about these stealthy stalkers. But the traces that appear here in the iron mine do not look like those left by face dancers. He checked the handwriting left on the corpse again, and it was not Heidicher's writing. Maybe it's some other face dancer? Muhadi wasn't sure.
The soldier's body had no visible wounds, but there were bruises on his neck, and he was strangled to death. Examining the other bodies, Mohamad found no wounds from the sharp object. However, the head of a corpse was smashed by a heavy object, and judging by the effect of the crushing, the weight of the weapon was very heavy.
"I've heard that the Psychic Warlock has an ability to read information about an item, and even see what the item has come into contact with?" said Kotande, who had been following Muhadi, coughing twice from time to time, before suddenly interjecting.
"Unfortunately, this isn't my school's ability. I'm better at manipulating objects, not detecting them. Muhadi replied as he flipped through it.
"Ahem, I'm not good at prophecy spells either. Cotander coughed violently, "Do you have any useful information?"
"Face dancers should be good at changing appearances, but judging by these corpses......" The boy straightened up and clapped his hands. “...... It doesn't seem to have been killed in a sneak attack, and there were signs of fighting before dying. I don't think this thief pretended to be his own person and attacked suddenly, he just killed him directly. ”
Cotander nodded slowly, "I have doubts about that, too. ”
Rikas was puzzled, "Didn't we have a spell to detect the shapeshift? Maybe the face dancer did change his appearance, but he was revealed. ”
Muhati shook his head, "It's unlikely, the face dancer's transfiguration is not achieved by magic, but by a combination of make-up and acting. They can control their facial muscles as they please, and with excellent voice imitation skills, they can disguise themselves as other people. It has nothing to do with magic. ”
He added, "How many soldiers do we have here?"
"Three thousand soldiers, four thousand if you count Salafiste's men, and we have more than twenty Guardian Mages. "But there are more miners, merchants, adventurers, and travelers here, and I estimate that there are probably tens of thousands, and I will definitely not be able to check them for a while." It's getting dark, and while it's dark, that face dancer is likely to be killed directly from the weakly guarded places, and we don't have enough strength to defend every place tightly!"
This is indeed a problem, since the face dancer has the ability to kill several soldiers without touching the alarm, it is entirely possible that he escaped in the night. And it was dark outside at night, and even if you wanted to chase and kill, I was afraid it would be difficult to catch up.
Muhati turned to the Kotander Division, "Is there a way to use magic to detect lies?
"Possibly. "But our mages don't memorize so many spells, and even if they do, they can't do it this way." This will extract too much vitality, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
This is a bit tricky, the boy thought, can't use magic, his own psionic energy can't detect tens of thousands of people, then the only thing he can do seems to be to expose the lurker himself. But how can this be done?
Suddenly, Muhathir seemed to think of something, and Cotander was the commander of Salafiste, and what he did best was to capture counter-revolutionaries and secret agents of the witch kings. This time there were invaders in the iron mine, and it should have been his duty to clean it up. Is it true that he is calling himself now because he is powerless?
Magic claims to be omnipotent, and everyone who has reached the level of ** division is definitely not stupid. Even if the objective circumstances limit the casting of the spell, you can come up with some way to force the face dancer to be exposed. Muhati himself thought of a few ideas, Kotander has been making trouble for the witch king for decades, and he is still alive and now, not to mention the experience, he can't even think of a way?
Thinking of this, the boy went back and examined the body again, and this time he had seen unusual traces again.
On the surface, several soldiers appear to have been killed with blunt objects, but judging by the bloodstains, it does not seem to be the case. For example, there was a corpse with a wound on its neck, but the blood he left behind was not splattery, but impregnated. It seems that this person was not killed by this wound, but deliberately created this wound after the blood pressure in his body was lowered after death.
After noticing this strangeness, the boy appeared in a few more irrational places. First of all, there was not a single throwing bloodstain. No matter how good the face dancer is, it is inevitable that the weapon will be stained with the blood of the victim when killing, so it will inevitably leave the blood thrown out when the weapon is waved in battle. Secondly, there is a corpse with unnatural traces of broken bones. Peeling back the scalp, the corpse's skull showed two splinter marks, one in a lethal position and the other slightly off. But strangely, the crack of the fatal wound blocked the crack of the non-fatal wound. This shows that after the man received a fatal blow, he was hit with a supplementary blow. The face dancers are all martial arts groups, and they don't seem to do such useless things.
Could it be that this scene was faked? The lurker was someone else, just deliberately disguised as a face dancer? What's the point?
Muhati looked up, and Rikas still had a concerned expression, he was a rectal gladiator hero who was unlikely to deliberately deceive himself. But it is impossible for Kotander not to show these details, so why is he pretending not to know?
The old mage's eyes were glazed, as if there was no focus. His will was so strong that he, a psychic warlock, couldn't get a glimpse of what was going on in his heart.
Muhati suddenly had a strange thought, could it be that these people were killed by spells? Kotander saw the problem, but he seemed to be afraid of something and didn't want to take action himself, so he pushed me out as a shield?
For a while, the already confusing event became more mysterious and unpredictable.
