Chapter 203: The Corpse

This exchange of interests is constantly staged between the luxurious living room, the secluded restaurant, or the relays of not meeting each other, and it is these seemingly small exchanges that always shape the general trend of the kingdom of St. Teresa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with Al for the time being, and he is in the dusty ruins, directing the workers to clean up the garbage.

The officials of the Ministry of the Interior on his side felt extremely aggrieved, originally according to Shangfeng's order, he was responsible for the reconstruction of the Iron Thorn Family's house, which was originally a beautiful thing, but I heard that because His Majesty personally inquired, the budget was quite sufficient. Who knew that the marquis didn't know what kind of illness he was guilty of, and he liked to mingle with the mud-legged people every day, which made him, the titular chief, very embarrassed.

In fact, it was not only the officials who felt this way, but also the workers who were doing their work, and the sense of disobedience was too strong to be mixed in with such a well-dressed man in a ceremonial dress. It makes them so cautious when they work, and they don't even dare to talk about the yellow jokes that make them laugh on weekdays.

Elco didn't care what they thought, he wandered through the ruins, rummaging intently for something.

Suddenly, as if he had found something, he crouched on the ground and rummaged through it, and in a few moments he found a brown shard that shone like a diamond in the sand.

He held it in his hand and felt it carefully for a moment, and confirmed: "Sure enough, it is a stone in the gall of the ground." ”

Bear gallstones are one of the most common and are used to help release earth-based magic. The ground bear is a large magical beast that lives in the north, they are omnivorous, in addition, the most special point is that they have the habit of eating soil, and over time they will condense a special stone in the bear bile, which is an excellent magic material.

He was still suspicious before, but now he can finally be sure that this mansion has been secretly arranged with a magic circle of "earth shaking and mountain shaking" at some point, but it is not yet confirmed when it was arranged.

Logically, he should have been unaware of his conflict with the occult organization, but as a mage, he shouldn't be ignorant of it.

If it was before the conflict, there would have been more opportunities, and during Al's absence, or even before he came to Radiant City, it was possible that the mansion had already been set up with a magic circle, you must know that it had been vacant for decades.

But if that is the case, why would anyone set up such a circle? Knowing that he Al Edward had no grievances with others, who would have gone to such great lengths to put him to death?

These are all puzzles that Al wants to solve, but doesn't have any clues.

At this moment, there was a commotion among the workers, "The body has been dug up." Someone shouted.

When Al heard this, he hurried over, "Don't move!", he shouted, finally not letting the workers take off the black clothes.

The entire corpse was covered in a layer of dust, making him look as if he had been powdered, which was both grotesque and terrifying. Al wiped the dust off his face and took a closer look.

Single eyelids, a large round face, looking about forty years old from the appearance, with a serious head injury, should have been stoned to death by surprise. On the surface, he didn't have any features, Al sighed in his heart, this kind of appearance, it was too difficult to find his identity in the populous Shenghui City.

Uncovering his clothes again, Al found that there were faintly visible strips of scars on his back, and there were dense and small scars all over his body, which looked like they were often injured.

The muscles were very developed, Al pressed it with his hand, it was strong and elastic, and Al spread his palm again, and sure enough, there were thick calluses on his hands, all of which were in line with the characteristics of his martial artist.

The nails of the fingers and toes are cleanly trimmed, which reflects a certain personality trait of this person, but I don't know if this is due to innate personality or acquired professional habits.

There are no such features as tattoos on his body, and this person is very "clean", and there are almost no useful clues to be found. Al rummaged through his black clothes for a while, and found that the black clothes were specially made, as if he was carrying a treasure bag, and there were many small pockets sewn into the clothes, from which Al found flints, small portions of dry food, water purification in cartridges, wound medicine, flying claws, hidden weapons, etc., almost everything.

It can be seen that these men in black are well prepared, and these things should be specially made, and the pockets of the black clothes are just right. Although this is a small detail, Al can still deduce some truth from it: it was less than a day from the time Al captured the messenger to the attack in the middle of the night, and this is not including the time they found out that someone was missing, locked up Al and investigated. In other words, they don't have the time to build these utensils and prepare clothes on site.

From this, it is known that this organization has already prepared these killer equipment, but I don't know why they will use people outside the organization this time, or they have not yet formed a killer team, so they have to use outsiders as a last resort, these are not things that Al can know.

As for the weapons he carried with him, it was a short sword strapped to his waist, and a long knife that fell beside him. Both the short sword and the long sword are very common styles, with no inscriptions or carvings on them, and it is impossible to see where they were made.

Even if he really investigates, it's a matter for the National Police Agency, and Al can't do anything about it. He looked at his tongue and pupils again, making sure there was no sign of any medication, that he hadn't touched the "exciting goodies," which meant that he didn't seem to be on the streets. The teeth are slightly dull yellow, but there are no special dark spots and variegation, indicating that the person also does not have the habit of chewing cigarettes.

It's a real headache, if he didn't know the identity of his killer, Al would really think that this is a priest from the Holy Sect.

Al was suddenly stunned, why is it impossible? There is no evidence to rule out the suspicion of the priest, there are also such roosters and dogs in the Holy Church, it is not impossible, but he stroked the long scar on the back of this person, why does a priest have such a scar on his back?

Could it be that he is the kind of ascetic who whips himself in order to inspire his faith? But this kind of ascetic usually beats himself with a whip, and it is not very convenient to use a stick, and there is no trace of the whipping on this person.

Al is once again in deep confusion, constantly looking for a possibility and refuting it, unable to connect the threads.
