Chapter 375: Clues
() With Fen's lips to lips, he sucked violently, and the soul that should have been summoned by the Lord of Hades was intercepted in this world and summoned in front of everyone.
The man's body is the same as before his death, but the overall tone seems to be covered with a layer of strange blue-green light, showing a glass-like transparency. And he had a dull face and blank eyes.
Fen asked directly, "Did your people see the whereabouts of that vii(7) person?" ”
The man's soul was confused and said, "Yes." ”
"Where did they go?"
"Head north."
"Where was the last place you saw?"
"The entrance to the sewers."
"How far is it from here?"
"The distance of about 1 km."
"Are there any recognizable features in the neighborhood?"
"Foul stench! It stinks. ”
"What about the smell other than the smell? Are there any visible features? ”
"There are no intact houses in that area, and there is a large ditch at the entrance to the sewer."
"That's good. Do you know anything about the Hyenne? ”
"I don't know much."
"What's the name of their main character?"
"Hann."
"How many members?"
"I don't know."
"And how many of them are there in Plzeň?"
"xiiii (14) people."
"How many magicians are there?"
"There are no magicians."
"Is that a warrior, or what?"
"Most of them are demon breakers."
This news surprised Fen. Demon Breaker is not a specific class, but a warrior with skills aimed at mages, which is not something that can be counted with a few Demon Breaker weapons. Such people are not easy to cultivate and train, and even if they are called Demon Breakers, they are not necessarily a threat to official mages. But to deal with apprentices, it should also be handy.
"Is there any other place besides the sewers?"
"Nope."
"Do you know what Hann will be doing in the sewers?"
"I don't know."
"Hmm." Fen groaned for a moment. The advantage of questioning the soul directly like this is that the soul will never tell a lie, and the disadvantage is that the soul will only answer clear questions. Asking the wrong question, or a question that is too vague or too vague, will either get the wrong answer or answer the wrong question.
And in response to this incident, she didn't know what else to ask. So Fen turned around and wanted to ask the man if he had any opinions. It's just that before he could speak, he saw someone with an exaggerated ghost expression and froze on the spot. Like everyone else in the Thieves' Guild, she was frozen in place by her magic, unable to move.
Throwing down the skull in his hand, he set fire to the soul that was swaying and almost disappearing. I saw the man's soul churning in the cyan flames, letting out a silent scream.
Fen casually pulled a clean cloth, wiped the blood stains on his hands, and flicked his fingers towards Lin's forehead, saying, "You're really useless." What I just used is not a complete 'eternal imprisonment'. At best, it's a weakened and weakened version, so that you also get hit. I'll review it when I get back. ”
Lin, who had regained his freedom, touched his forehead, which was red and swollen from being bounced. Everything he saw just now surprised him from beginning to end, and he didn't know where to start complaining.
But the lich said, "You have heard all that I have just asked." Do you have any other questions you'd like to ask besides the ones I asked? ”
Seeing the soul burning in the flames, changing its tricks in various postures that defy gravity, someone did not know whether to sympathize with this poor man, or to get such an end for his greed, and felt a sour feeling of heavenly reason. Lin just said expressionlessly: "It's all like this, can he still answer the question?" ”
"Of course, it's not that hard. I'm a lich pinch, and torturing souls is one of the few specialties I have. How, what do you want to ask? Or do you want to see what kind of pose he poses? ”
"Forget it." Looking at the soul churning in the flames, Lin was a little excited. But when he looked at the other people who were still frozen, he subconsciously said, "Maybe we should ask a few more people." Someone else might know something different? ”
The most cruel thing about the Demon King Tikal's version of 'Eternal Confinement' is that although the body can't move, the senses are still very clear. So although someone's words were softly spoken, almost everyone heard them, and in their hearts there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.
"Forget it." Looking at the eager lich, Lin himself dismissed his idea. said: "It's good to know the direction, I don't have time to waste time with these people." ”
"Oh, I thought you'd hate me for doing that, and then sour a few words. It seems that there is no intention to pursue it? Or have you given up on me? ”
"It's a matter of urgency. Besides, he hit the muzzle of the gun himself, and if you don't do it, I want to turn over the table. After all, Lin glanced at the people who were stationed. The face is expressionless, making it impossible to guess what is going on in your heart. Such an attitude makes people who can see their direction feel numb and nervous.
In fact, someone is simply using the map information in their field of view to confirm the distance and direction parameters of the flashing technique. Because the image is projected directly onto the retina, and there are many ways to type, you don't necessarily have to hit the keyboard by hand. So other people can't see what someone is touching and worry in vain.
Although the three-dimensional map of Plzeň struck Lady Audrey. But for Lin, the accuracy is not enough, and there are only rough records of various landforms. There was no sewer opening, and the ditch mentioned by the man did not appear on the map. So apart from distance and direction, the rest of the rest can only be searched, which fortunately is also narrowed down.
After doing some calculations and confirming the parameters and search methods, Lin turned his attention back to the real world. Packed up the two money bags on the table and put them in your arms. After thinking about it, he took out the small money bag again, threw it on the table, and said, "This is the funeral expenses." Help him with a decent funeral. When he had finished speaking, he said to his companion, "Let's go." ”
Glancing at the dead man and the money bag on the table. Living together to this day, the lich sometimes doesn't quite understand the man's brain circuits. Putting aside the idea of dissecting the other party's head to see what was going on, and turning the burning soul into the flame of eternal fire, and putting it in his arms, Fen nodded and said, "Well, let's go." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant, without disturbing any movement, as if they had not existed in the first place.
After a long time, someone suddenly spoke: "It seems that they are really as terrible as they are rumored." ”
"You dead old man, you really didn't get imprisoned. Why didn't you show up just now? "It's a different voice.
A third voice came, saying, "Who dares to come forward in the situation just now?" Whoever comes out on top, who is unlucky. The one who died over there is not an example. The old man who made a voice walked out of the crowd and came to the empty table around him.
The old man picked up the money bag, weighed it, and then shook his hand, and hid the money bag with dexterity. At the same time, he said: "Money is only available to the living, not to the dead." So I accepted the bag of money with gratitude. When he noticed that someone was breaking free from the effects of magic, he said to the young man, "Hey, come on." Throw this piece of meat into the back alley and feed it to the dogs. ”
"Hey, old man, isn't that your proud student?" In the crowd, someone ridiculed the old man.
But the old man who has lived to this age and has a thick enough skin doesn't care about ridicule at all, and sneers and says: "When a person dies, he is nothing." What's more, this guy can be considered stupid. It takes a lot of genius to want to make a lich, especially by coercion. It's a good thing, I can't even keep my soul, who is to blame. Since there is no soul, then what is here is just a piece of meat, is that wrong? ”
"Okay, okay, you're right." Another old man who came out of the crowd said impatiently. But he also freed the rest of the men and women who were still imprisoned in magic.
The young people who were untied were angry. Some of them even continued to clamour, saying, "Everyone, are you going to give up like this? Don't forget, that man represents Kiel. You've worked hard to make money all your life, and there's more money than you might get today. ”
"Oh, it's still in Kiel, what idiots." There are old people who rely on the old and sell the old, and unceremoniously teach the young people who are angry.
"Old man! What are you talking about! Don't think that because we're old, we're going to do everything to you. ”
"Of course not, you're right. I'm not anyone, and I'm certainly not qualified to command you. The old man's seemingly soft remarks are actually hidden needles. He said lukewarmly, "Besides, the man's bounty has been canceled." But don't say it, I haven't told you the news. ”
The original clamor instantly froze, and everyone looked at the old man who spoke in astonishment. Some people looked puzzled; Someone plucked out their ears, suspecting that they had just misheard. But the old man repeated it again and said, "The bounty has been cancelled." If someone wants to continue to assassinate that person, and you're lucky enough to succeed and escape from the lich, you won't get a dime. ”
"Why was the bounty canceled?" Some of the young people questioned as if they were mourning.
"Old man, are you serious? Where did the news come from? This was asked by someone else of the same generation as the old man. After all, this old man has a criminal record, and for his own interests, he does not hesitate to release false news to mislead others.
The employer withdrew the bounty and stated that it would not continue to offer the bounty. Ask for clear things. Anyway, I don't want to offend a lich for something that doesn't do good. ”
"Looks like that news is true." "What's the news?" "It's that man who is doing something big again." "What's the big deal?" "Ever, the first posthumous posthumous saint of the law. Have you heard of it before today? "What a joke! Is there such a thing? "yes, I wish it was just a joke."
In the salon, a group of people are different from the previous noise, they are constantly talking about recent news and discussing possible changes in the future. As for the dead, who cares?
