Chapter 20: The Death of the Sage
No matter how great a life is, as long as he is still mortal, he cannot escape the fateful end.
Dizian and Enos, along with Grant who followed behind, went to the temple, the familiar path, the familiar gate, and the familiar basement, under the watchful eye of the Wolf Guard. There, Di Zi'an saw the apprentices who had studied and copied books together in the past, but at this time each of them was pale, as if they were mourning.
Something is wrong, the theft of just an ancient book does not seem to come to this point, Di Zi'an looked at the guards who kept appearing along the way out of the corner of his eye, and the entire temple was surrounded tightly. When you enter the underground of the temple, you can see the figure of the guard in three or two steps.
At this time, the apprentices gathered in the basement where they used to live and work, and the panic spread like a sky collapse.
"What the hell is going on?" Enos couldn't help but ask the apprentices who remained in the temple, and the captain of the Wolf Guard who brought them here was missing, and the remaining guards guarded the only exit from the basement, preventing any of the apprentices from leaving.
"......" As soon as the apprentices looked at each other, Inoss couldn't help but raise his voice, "What the hell is going on?"
Di Zi'an frowned, what is the reason why these people are so panicked? And Grant on the side didn't say a word all the way, Di Zi'an was very skeptical that he, a person from the temple, would know something, and a relatively large apprentice was repeatedly asked by Enos, and finally spoke timidly,
"Mistress Susimos, he, he'......"
"Teacher, does the teacher have any orders?" asked Inos, very eagerly, already having a bad premonition.
At this moment, a noisy voice from outside the door interrupted their conversation, and the leader of the guards who had met before approached, followed by the two guards of the alchemy workshop, the captain pointed to Inos, and then to Dizian, "Are these two people who have entered the sage's workshop in the last day?"
The guard behind him nodded, and the captain waved his hand, "Take them separately and take them down, I will interrogate them separately!"
"What are you going to do! I want to see the teacher!" Inoss was set up by two guards, apparently unable to resist with his small size. And Di Zi'an saw that the other two muscular brothers were walking towards him with unkind faces, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal that he obeyed the arrangement, just begging not to make physical contact.
"Do you want to see the sage?" The captain of the guard snorted coldly, and turned to leave, Di Zi'an only felt a chill in his heart, the sage Susimos is dead? But how is this possible? I have always thought that Susimos is the key to my promotion on this journey, and before I even have time to see him, he died? Who killed him? For what? Unfortunately, these questions will not be answered for a while.
"What do you mean?" Enos struggled harder, but his weak strength was not enough for him to break free from the grip of the two muscular brothers, he obviously didn't quite understand what he had just heard, or he understood but didn't want to believe it. Then he was escorted away by the guards, Di Zi'an subconsciously followed, but the guards on the side stretched out an arm as thick as his thigh to block him.
"Go this way," he pointed in the opposite direction, Di Zi'an sighed, sure enough, he came for me, Inos's family is illustrious, even the temple guards don't dare to persecute him too much, civilians like Norma can come casually, I hope I don't go to pick up soap......
In the dimly lit dungeon, what made Di Zi'an more relieved was that this was at least a single room, and it would be much more dangerous if it was imprisoned in a multi-person room, especially in this damp and gloomy dungeon, it was easy for something indescribable to happen.
He didn't let Di Zi'an wait too long, and this gloomy dungeon welcomed his chief guard, and it was only at this time that Di Zi'an seriously inquired about the captain of the Wolf Guard. Naturally, he is also a muscular brother in terms of figure, his expression has always been very gloomy, his face is blue and veiled, his cheekbones are very high, a narrow scar can be seen on his bare chest, which extends all the way to the navel and is covered by Roincross, and the wolf tail hanging behind him is pure white, and there is no trace of miscellaneous hair at all, and the difference in color represents the status of Chao Ran and other guards.
"Boy, my time is precious, you tell me frankly, does the death of the sage have anything to do with you?"
"My lord, I do not know anything about the cause of the sage's death. Di Zi'an has a little headache, this brother obviously won't let himself pass the test like this, in case he wants to torture to extract a confession, his thin body will carry it a few times!
"I don't know, after the sage was killed, only you and the boy of the Smendis family entered the sage's workshop, can I guess that you extorted something from the sage and then killed the sage, and then rushed to the alchemy workshop to steal the sage's alchemy results?"
"Captain, it's hard for me to prove that it was a coincidence that Inoss and I appeared in the alchemy workshop at that point, but I have two small requests that maybe the real murderer can be found," Dizi Ansi thought about it, and instead of waiting here for death, he might as well gamble his luck, "Can you show me where the Sage was killed?" and make sure that no one will enter the Sage's alchemy again. ”
"Hmm, what are you going to do?" the captain narrowed his eyes, and Di Zi'an continued without humility or arrogance, "What the murderer did to kill the sage is nothing more than the alchemy of the sage, because I know very well that Inosh and I are not murderers, so the real murderer will definitely find a way to go to the alchemy workshop, and there may be a surprise when waiting for the rabbit in the workshop, as for the place where the sage was killed, I want to see if the sage has left any clues about the murderer, you should also know that there are some clues left by alchemists, only the same alchemists can find them." ”
"You'd better not play any tricks," the captain was silent for a moment, then took out the key and helped Dizian open the door to the dungeon, "Come with me, but I'll say that if you don't find something useful, your days may not be too comfortable." ”
"I did my best. Di Zi'an took a deep breath and followed him out of the stone prison.
