Chapter 69: A Strange Homicide
Shilinya kept checking the slender, purple-haired, purple-eyed maid doll in her hand, and the magic of the Scout series kept unleashing on this doll, but the magic showed that everything was okay with the doll. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I'm really thinking too much. After several unsuccessful investigations, Shirinya was only able to put such a doll back into her sister's hands.
Her brand new toy has been snatched away, and Kayla is already teary-eyed, and it seems that she may cry at any moment. When the toy was back in her hand, Kayla burst into tears and laughed.
"Miss Gilly, where did you buy this doll...... "A strange maid gave her sister a brand new doll, and it was such a very expensive doll, and the other party gave it to Kayla like this, Shilinya felt very weird...... Or did you do it yourself?"
The pile of dolls that Kaila came out of, Shilinya has always been very curious about it, because the workmanship design of these dolls has been several orders above the current world average, and those dolls seem to be made according to the characteristics of some people.
Shilinya had wanted to know where these dolls came from, both because she felt that these things were very suspicious and seemed to have been specially made, and because Shilinya herself wanted to own some of these dolls, preferably large and life-long, for what purpose......
The source provided by Kayla was brought to her by a maid who had fallen from the building, and the clue was broken when the person died. And now that a new clue has appeared in front of him, how could Shilinya let go of this rare opportunity?
"Miss Shilinya, it's too much. Gilly has an indifferent smile on her face, and her temperament and movements have the aristocratic style of this world, "This doll I bought from a merchant from the Red Desert in the market a few days ago, but this merchant went to sea a few days ago and went home, and now it is difficult to buy it from him." ”
The hope that "Red Desert ......" Shilinya was full of just now is shattered again, and the Red Desert thousands of miles away, it must be very difficult to buy these high-quality figurines in the future.
"This money should be regarded as compensation for Miss Gilly. ”
On the way back, Kayla was very happy, Shilinya was very sad, Denton was very worried, and Dale Fell was very tired.
Kayla has a new, more beautiful toy, Shilinya misses out on a chance to own a high-quality figure, Denton feels that things are getting very complicated, in every sense of the word, and Dalefield has to set up a venue for an exam, which only needs a third of the ......
Although everyone's mood is different, the journey home is still the same. It didn't take long for the four of them to reach the castle's doors, but after a few hours of leaving here, everyone except Kayla felt that the atmosphere had become very oppressive.
From a distance, Shilinya saw several clerics and Templars from the Church of Leverdeon coming and going here, and there was a collection car of the Church of Leverdeon in front of the door.
The abnormality of the situation caused all three of them to speed up their pace, and Kayla, who was only concerned with playing with her doll, was picked up by Shilinya.
"What's going on?" Deadton stepped forward and intercepted a priest from the Church of Leverdeon.
"There's been a strange murder in the castle, and Governor Leander thinks it's because a necromancer or ghost has come to the castle, so we've been invited to inspect it and collect the body by the way. The priest who was suddenly interrupted from his work was almost angry, but seeing the fine armor on the other party's body suppressed his anger, although he didn't know who the other party was, but the other party's armor represented a person with a certain status in this castle.
"Who is the dead?" Deadton felt a bad premonition, and subconsciously glanced at Kayla who was being held in Shilinya's arms.
"A maid, a middle-aged maid who is relatively fat. The priest quickly answered the other party's questions, and left without giving them any more time to ask questions, and he had no intention of playing a quiz game with the other party.
"Maid...... Huh?" Shilinya repeated in surprise, a few days ago, a fatter maid fell from the building, and today there was another 'fatter maid murdered', why are the 'fatter maids' in this world all without human rights?
Although everyone was very puzzled by this, they would not discuss this kind of question outside their own doors. After a slight exchange of glances, the four entered the castle.
When she entered the castle, Shilinya realized that there had been a murder with just a lot of influence.
Panicked servants walked up and down the castle, leading the guards and church people to search every corner of the castle, the guards who maintained the security of the city were also mobilized and kept on guard inside the castle, the clergy of the church patrolled the castle with their instruments in their hands and the Templars kept patrolling the castle, and several mages belonging to the Arian family were also moving some equipment back and forth in the castle......
As a newly promoted high-level mage, Shilinya immediately recognized what these family mages were carrying—a device for testing magic fluctuations, specifically to test the records of magic use in a certain place.
The nervous people, the oppressive atmosphere, even Kayla, who had no heart and lungs to play with her doll, became uneasy, and her big smart eyes kept scanning the people around her, as if this child wanted to know what terrible things had happened here.
The four of them did not wander around the castle, nor did they stop the busy people, but followed the family mages who were holding the disassembled instruments to the scene of the incident.
The 'scene of the strange murder' must be a bloody place, and now that the mage and priest are here, the scene must not have undergone any treatment, so the ignorant Kayla was entrusted by Shilinya to take care of Delphi temporarily.
As for the fierce resistance and crying when Kayla left, Shilinya ignored it, and now there was an unknown danger lurking in the castle, and it was better for the children to stay away from this dangerous area.
As for whether Kayla will be angry afterwards? Shilinya is not worried about this at all, just comfort her, child.
Shilinya and Denton followed a mage as they walked left and right through the castle, eventually to a place guarded by mages, clerics, Templars, and guards—a resting place for the maids.
At first, the Templars and clerics were holding back Shilinya and Denton, but the guards and mages explained the situation to the Church, and the two were allowed to go.
The scene of the murder was in a maid's quarters, where Leander and Turis, who did not participate in the expedition, stood on the side, and several guards and maids stood aside to be interrogated by church members and some soldiers, presumably witnesses or discoverers of the murder.
The entry of Shilinya and Denton did not hide from everyone present, but except for Leander and Turis, the others just glanced at it and did what they wanted.
"Shilinya, why did you come back so soon?" asked Leander worriedly, coming back so early, Leander's first thought was that the other party had already failed the course.
"Shouldn't all of them fail?" Compared with Leander's euphemism, Turis, who is a soldier, is much more direct.
"Don't worry. Shilinya smiled as she showed the two of them the newly acquired High Mage badge.
However, it seemed that Shilinya's smiling expression really didn't fit the oppressive atmosphere here, and when Shilinya said such a news, none of the people present showed any surprised expression.
"What the hell is going on here?" Shilinya sensed that something was wrong, and immediately changed to a stern and sad expression.
Leander, who was originally optimistic and funny, didn't do anything to liven up the atmosphere, and after exchanging glances with Turis, he began to explain to Shilinya and Denton what was going on here.
"Alain is on an expedition today, and something strange has happened in the castle lately, so I'm going to invite the priests of the Church of Leverdeon to come here for a formal search - to be honest, I'm not comfortable with the search organized by Kane. ”
"The search took place shortly after you went for a magic test, and everything was normal, but half an hour ago, right here, a maid who was packing up her things suddenly got separated. ”
"Didn't you just finish the test half an hour ago? and the death of 'suddenly separated from the head' is simply too weird. Shilinya thought silently, looking at the center of the room, there was just a pool of blood, and there was no splattering blood around it, indicating that the other party had not been cut or something.
This situation scared everyone at that time. Now those witnesses are trying to recall what happened. Leander reluctantly said to Shirinya, such a situation of killing people invisibly is very alarming, and everyone present does not know if they are the next target of the other party.
"In my opinion, the other party must have chosen such a time to commit murder in the face of the Church of Leverdeon. So I think it's probably the vampires and necromancers who did it. ”
"It's not safe these days, Shilinya, you should be careful at night, it's better to sleep with that guard called Delphi, so that you can all take care of it at night. ”
