Chapter 723: Fire Scene

Hearing Sylvia's words, Kerry Fao couldn't help frowning, it was obvious that he didn't know about the matter mentioned by Sylvia's mouth, so he inevitably doubted Sylvia's words in his heart, thinking that she was not lying.

But thinking about it carefully, the suspicion in his heart was all lowered, because for as long as he could remember, the Ice Queen had been secretly recruiting the existence of dependents, transcendents, and the like, but it seemed that she had recruited very few wizards, and even if she had, she would not be entrusted with important tasks.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now that the two were linked after hearing Sylvia's words, he sensed that Sylvia might not be lying, and that the Ice Queen was indeed disgusted with wizards.

It's just that he doesn't regret his previous invitation to Leo, even if this time it displeased the queen, but he still feels that inviting this wizard who is already famous in the dark world is the best way to solve the problem.

The only trouble that bothers him now is how to deal with Sylvia who sees through his intentions, if he finds a random reason to fool the past, I am afraid that he will only be exposed again and end up in an embarrassing situation, but if he talks about the problem he is facing, then he can't guarantee that the two in front of him will have other thoughts.

After hesitating for a moment, Kerry Fao finally made a decision and chose to tell the story, after all, this matter would spread sooner or later, and it was useless to hide it.

"Your Majesty has indeed encountered a problem. Kerry Fao sorted out his words and said, "I don't know if you have heard of Cullenville. ”

Sylvia shook her head, while Leo thought for a moment and confirmed, "Is it the Cullenville of the Blood Tide?"

"Mr. Leo is worthy of being a wizard of the Tower, and he is so knowledgeable that he knows the tide of blood on his face. Kerry Fao was also a little surprised that Leo was able to say the blood tide, so he praised it heartily, and then continued: "But I don't think Miss Sylvia knows anything about the blood tide, so I'll explain it online, and it just so happens that I suspect that the current incident has something to do with the blood tide of the past." ”

As he spoke, he talked very seriously and in detail about the matter of the tide of blood, which was simply a cult riot.

Cullenville is just a small fishing village in the north of Dalyat, this fishing village specializes in fishing for silver pike in the northern ice ocean, this silver barracuda meat is tender, it is extremely valuable food, whether it is to make raw fish fillet, or to make dried fish, it is very popular with the upper wealthy people, so Coolenville has gradually expanded into a large town because of these catch trade.

A cult organization that has been active in the north all the year round took a fancy to Cullenville's relatively remote geographical location, which was not particularly convenient for transportation, and most of the time it was cut off from the outside world, and all kinds of conditions were very suitable for their secret mission.

After that, the cult sent leaflets to all the provinces, counties, and cities of Dyliat, saying that a relic of a prehistoric civilization had been found in Coolenville and that it hoped that someone would go and help excavate it.

This news is very rudimentary, and if you read it carefully, you will find that there is a problem, because since the remains of a prehistoric civilization have been discovered, then you should try to hide them, and how can you make it public and share it with other strangers?

It's just that at that time, Dagliat was completely immersed in the excavation of the remains of prehistoric civilizations, and they all subconsciously ignored the problematic details, and even if they saw it, they would subconsciously ignore it.

So after the leaflets were sent out, a large number of Dalyats and non-Daliats came to Coolenville.

However, it was not long before anyone noticed the anomaly, because all the people who went to Cullenville did not appear again, so the local officials and nobles at that time immediately formed an investigation team to investigate the situation in Coolenville, and what they saw was an empty town, and all the residents and outsiders in the town had disappeared, and it was clear from the traces in those houses that they disappeared very suddenly, because there were still traces of a family eating on the table.

In addition to the empty towns, there is also a strange place where the tides off Coolenville turn blood-red every time they approach the shoreline of Coolenville, hence the term "Tide of Blood".

Repeated investigations into this matter eventually did not lead to a single result, and there was some political turmoil in Dyliat at that time, and the attention of local officials and nobles was all shifted there, and the matter of Cullenville was finally settled, and finally Coolenville was abandoned.

"Now that it's abandoned, ...... now," Sylvia asked, puzzled.

"Alas!" Kerry Fao sighed heavily, shook his head a little helplessly, and said: "Although that place has been abandoned, it has become a holy place for those idle magnates in the country to hunt for curiosity, and those guys who have experienced excess and have not set off will always make up some strange things, but the things they tinkered with before did not cause any trouble, but this time it is different." ”

"They're not going to go there and do some cult rituals like sacrifices, right?" Leo guessed with a smile after feeling the helplessness shown by the other party.

Kerry Fao opened his mouth and didn't respond, just sighed and said: "Now Cullenville is surrounded by a blood mist, I sent three teams of centaurs into it to search, but none of them came out, fortunately, this blood mist only stayed near Coolenville and did not continue to spread outward. ”

"Shouldn't this matter be settled by your queen?" Sylvia questioned, frowning.

Kerry Fao explained: "Your Majesty has other more important things to do, and I can't take a break from it. ”

Sylvia continued: "In that case, you can wait for your majesty to take a step out and solve it?"

"If that's the case, I'm going to have a headache. Kerry Fa'o, though still with a relaxed smile on his face, has become a little stiff.

Leo said, "The identity of the person who fell there is a little unusual, right?"

Kerry Fao nodded, but didn't tell Leo specifically about who had fallen into it.

"I remember that many of your Clansmen and Transcendents live in seclusion there, and there are many powerful people among them, such as the one behind you. Sylvia asked suspiciously, "Why don't you send them to deal with this?" ”

"How does Miss Sylvia know that I didn't send someone?" asked Kerry Fao rhetorically, then looked at the two of them again, and said, "And it doesn't seem that I am looking for two of you to solve this matter, it is the two of you who came to me, I just made an invitation and suggestion, and if you don't want to, you can assume that you didn't hear it." ”

Sylvia didn't go into the details, and turned to look at Leo, as if teaching him the right to make decisions.

Leo thought for a moment and said, "There are ruins of a tower in Coolenville?"

Kerry Fao nodded and said, "There is indeed a ruin. ”

"The ruins of the Tower have anything to do with this?" asked Leo again.

Kerry Fao said vaguely: "Judging from the news that a team of investigators came back at the end, it seems to have something to do with it. ”

Leo could sense that Kerry Fao was hiding a lot of things that he didn't say, and he knew very well that the other party shouldn't reveal anything more.

So he thought for a moment and nodded, "We will go to Daliat in a while, and I hope that His Excellency the Earl will be able to welcome us when the time comes." ”

Kerry Fao smiled and said, "In that case, we have agreed that I will wait for the two of you in Daliat." ”

Now that the matter had been settled, Leo and Sylvia had no intention of staying here any longer, and the auction seemed to be coming to an end, so the two got up and took their leave, entering the side hall directly from the staircase next to the restaurant, and then to the outside of the Grand Theater.

At the edge of the square, after stopping a carriage, Sylvia told Leo to wait, and then walked alone to a homeless man lying on the ground next to the square, took out a little coin, put it in the jar beside the homeless man, and walked back, behaving like an ordinary aristocratic lady who suddenly developed sympathy.

Once the two were in the carriage, Leo instructed the carriage to go to the museum, which was in ruins.

"There should be news of that buyer tonight. Sylvia said in a deep voice.

"Hmm!" Leo nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "We seem to have fallen into the trap of Kerry Fao just now?"

"Traps, what traps?" Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion.

Leo said in a deep voice, "He never said that he would use that container as a reward for helping him solve his problem. ”

"No, he mentioned ......" Sylvia was about to refute Leo's words, and after thinking about it carefully, she found that as Leo said, Kerry Fao has always controlled the direction of the topic through direct and indirect methods, creating illusions, so that when the two agreed to go to Dyad, they both subconsciously thought that the reward for helping Kerry Fao solve the problem was the container.

Thinking of this, Sylvia, who felt that she might have been fooled, couldn't help but curse repeatedly: "Damn! Damn, this damn maggot is actually ......"

Leo on the side didn't show too much annoyance, for what he had decided, even if the process was a little unsatisfactory, there was no need to dwell on it, and now his mind had gone to the fire in the museum.

During the day, when he was at the scene of the fire, Leo had already checked the situation inside the fire through the spirit network, and he also found a few things left by Dawson Kuifan, those things are all products of cosmic civilization, and it is impossible to cause any damage to these things in a fire like a museum, and in the end these things will only be buried in a wreckage, and what Leo needs to do is to take them out when the rest of the blood clan finds those few things, and see what kind of investigation clues Dawson Kuifan has left.

There were no pedestrians or horse-drawn carriages on the road at night, and the road was smooth, and it didn't take long for them to reach the outskirts of the museum.

Although the fire has been completely extinguished, the authorities are still worried about the remnants of the fire and water is poured over the rubble every once in a while, which makes a large amount of smoky water vapor permeate the museum and make those who are close to feel like they are deep in the humid jungle of the south.

"These fools! If Dawson Quavan saw it, he would definitely scold!" Sylvia's mood had not yet recovered from the anger just now, so naturally nothing was pleasing to the eye, and when she felt the humid air around her, she couldn't help but mock: "I think that even if those ancient documents and books in this museum were not burned by fire, I am afraid that they would not escape the corrosion of these water vapors, and I don't know how many copies will be left in the end." ”

Leo shook his head and said, "The Bloodline has a long enough lifespan to collect what they want, this store is nothing, not to mention that the books that are put on public display here should not be important books to them." ”

Sylvia pursed her lips boringly, then looked at the gendarmerie in charge of the fire scene, and said, "You go and find something, I'll solve these people! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Leo to react, he walked towards the gendarme, and at the same time, a wave of energy fluctuations were transmitted from his body, and the location of the gendarmerie quickly spread to form an energy field.

The gendarmes weren't just ordinary people, there were several Blood Clan officers among them, and when Sylvia's energy field enveloped them, they didn't feel anything, they didn't notice anything unusual.

Then the energy fluctuations emanating from Sylvia's body suddenly changed in frequency, and all the gendarmes stood up one by one as if they had received some orders, and stood neatly at the entrance of the museum according to the usual standing position of the private ceremony, looking like those honor guards guarding the gate of the government office.

Sylvia, who had easily controlled the gendarmes with her new abilities, smiled on her face, then gestured to Leo and walked to the chair next to the museum and sat down, maintaining the control energy field.

Leo walked in directly through the main entrance of the museum, and the gendarmes saluted him as if they had seen some big man.

Upon entering the museum's grounds, Leo did not immediately go to Dawson Quivan's office, but to the location of the main hall.

Because it was close to Dawson Kuifan's office, when a fire broke out over there, it burned here, and because the buildings here were early wooden buildings, they burned faster and more thoroughly, and now as far as the eye can see, except for a few rocks below, only a ruin is left on the ground, and all the contents of this collection are naturally destroyed in the sea of fire.

However, there are some special things that are still exceptional, and the flames do not cause damage to these things, but rather give them some extra energy, and these things naturally fall into Leo's hands when he walks through the ruins.
