Chapter 69: The Arrival of the Sage

In the imperial capital that had just fallen at night, it was raining lightly, and the spring rain did not last long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter the rain stops, the stars are shining, and the city is already full of lights. The scent of earth wafted through the air, and the breeze was moist and cool.

In the west of the city, there is a street paved with sand and stone, and the lampposts on the side of the street are arranged in an orderly manner, and the lamps are emitting a warm halo of goose yellow.

On both sides of this street, there are many places where the wind and snow are blowing. However, there are not many people coming and going on this street, and the front of each business seems to be extremely deserted. Because of the frequent disappearances and murders on this street, the previously bustling street has become quiet and desolate. Occasionally, we would see people walking in groups of threes and twos, but they would only walk by in a hurry without making any stops.

On this somewhat desolate street, two familiar figures appeared, that is, Melwitz and Kuzhi, who had left the palace to investigate the case.

Melwiitz changed into a brocade trench coat coiled with black and red gold wire, while Kuzhi wore a noble dress with light blue as the main color and white as the backdrop.

They consulted a lot of restaurants and got some slightly useful information. But Ku Zhi gradually showed a sad face, and he didn't want to ask any more.

Melwitz also sensed Kuzhi's abnormality, and his voice was leisurely: "What's wrong, but it's annoying?"

"It's not annoying, but I don't think it's rewarding. ”

Melwitz smiled slightly: "Go forward and walk again, there is the latest crime scene, go and see it first." He paced forward, raising his hand and pointing in one place.

"Arena is too hateful, and the information we have given us is superficial, and there is not even an autopsy report. ”

After hearing Kuzhi's complaint, Melwitz had a flash of inspiration: "What you said reminded me that no matter who you ask, they say that it is a monster, but there is no clear indication of what kind of monster did it. ”

"It's... Big brother doesn't want to go to the autopsy himself, does he?"

"I'll go tomorrow. ”

Kuzhi: "......"

Moreover, the place of the crime that Melwitz was referring to was a street corner, and the sky was gray, and the two of them had a great obstruction of their vision after they came here. The "poor" Earth Divine Soldier Emperor Flame Saw was flipped by Melwitz and sacrificed with its fire as illumination. The fire instantly illuminated this dark back alley.

Due to the recent rain, the place has become muddy, and the mold spots on the walls are one after another.

As soon as Ku Zhi walked in, he could smell a pungent fishy smell, and he couldn't help frowning, so he took a look around with the light emitted by the divine soldier.

"Big brother, it has just rained, and in my opinion, even if there is any suspicion here, it has probably been washed away by the rain. ”

Melwiitz squatted down, he saw the remaining faint blood stains, thought for a moment, and then got up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Big brother, didn't you find something?" Kuzhi followed behind Melwitz, covering his nose and walking out into the street.

Melwitz put away the Emperor Flame Saw and turned to Kuzhi: "From the first murder, the place where it happened was nothing more than this kind of back street. ”

"There's nothing wrong with committing crimes in the dark. ”

"You look around and what's around. ”

Ku Zhi looked around and said noncommittally: "Tavern, brothel?" Ku Zhi paused for a moment and said, "Could it be that the eldest brother suspects that it is not a monster, but a man-made thing?"

"Most of the monsters that ordinary people know are low IQ. Dragging people into the shadows to commit murder is not their style. High-level monsters, self-sustaining strength and arrogance are disdainful. ”

"I don't understand, if it wasn't for the monster's doing, and the dead didn't have any contact with each other, could the perpetrator be a murderous freak?"

"Freaks? Perhaps, sometimes you don't need a motive to kill. ”

Suddenly, before Ku Zhi could speak, a scream came from a distance. One after another, several people who fled in a panic were running in the direction where Melwitz was, and it happened that a man in a gray cloth shirt was rushing towards Melwitz in a panic.

Melwitz flashed sideways, grabbed it with his hand, and asked, "Why are you so flustered!"

"Hurry up, run, there's a dead man in front!" the man in cloth looked flustered, and his body was trembling. Seeing this, Melwitz let go of him without further questioning.

Melwitz followed the direction the man in the cloth had said, and hurried forward with Kuzhi until they saw a conspicuous pool of blood not far away.

They looked around, and the street was empty. Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, it was a very round pool, without any traces of blood that had been dragged away.

"Big brother, come and see here!" Ku Zhi moved a little in front of the pool of blood, and found a streak of blood.

Melwiez walked quickly to Kuzhi's side, bent down to check, and then looked around carefully: "There are no footprints, it seems to be a flying guy." ”

When Melwitz stood up, he wanted to ask about the surrounding businesses, but they were all closed, and no matter how the two of them knocked on the door, there was no response.

Helpless, Melwiitz said to Ku Zhi: "That's it, let's go back to the palace first, and when we discuss tomorrow morning, I will advocate freely." ”

"Okay. ”

......

Melwitz and Kuzhi returned to the dormitory, and Avril had already fallen asleep with Edmund in her arms. Melwiitz asked the maid to arrange a room for Kuzhi, and after saying goodbye to Kuzhi, he went to the study in the side hall to sit alone.

When he was young, Melwitz summoned the attendants and asked him to summon the three generals Heramon, Deng, and Isis to come to the study to discuss the matter.

Heramon, who was the first to arrive, came to the case of Melwitz in military uniform, and saluted: "Your subordinates see the king of the town." ”

Melwiitz tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, looking thoughtful.

"There are two things I want you to do. ”

"The king of the town, please. ”

"Increase the number of troops, impose martial law in the whole city, impose a night blackout, and secretly summon Kaz back to the capital. ”

Heramen hesitated a little and asked, "King Zhen, who is the city going to send over there to guard the town?"

"As for the candidates, you can do it. ”

"Obey the order, and the subordinates will go. When Heramon received a reply from Melwiz, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and bowed and left the study.

As soon as Heramon left the door of the study, he met Deng and Iss, and the three of them said a brief hello, and Heramon hurried away.

"Hey~ What do you say he is doing, he is in a hurry with that. Isis looked at Heramon's back and said to Deng Yan.

"Alright, the town king is still waiting for us, hurry up. Deng took Is's arm and went into the study.

Melwidz saw Deng and Iss and whispered, "It's here." ”

"See the King of Town!" Iss and Deng saluted together as they saluted Melwiez.

Melwiec looked at Deng: "How are the guards in the palace deployed?"

"King Yuzhen, now the guards in the palace are already our soldiers. It's just that the Praetorian Guard you asked me to form hasn't yet... It's not done yet. ”

"Don't rush this matter first, first strengthen the guards in the palace as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

"Pick out five squads of elite soldiers in the army and hand them over to the commander of Is. ”

"Obey!"

"Go ahead. ”

"Subordinates retire!"

After Deng left, Isi opened his mouth and asked, "Boss, why do you have nothing to do with me?"

"From today onwards, you are the prince's close bodyguard. ”

When Isis heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm not suitable for the boss." I, I'd better follow you, boss. ”

"Is, do you think I'm talking to you?"

"This..."Iss lowered his head and said reluctantly: "The boss can trust me, I will definitely protect the little master!"

"It's okay, you can go. ”

"Boss, then, then I'm leaving. Eth hesitated, saluted Meliwitz, and exited the study.
