Chapter 154: Ashes

Polite and soft-spoken, this is Mephistopheles' disguise.

From the conversation with him just now, it is not difficult to find that Mephistopheles is a war maniac and a fanatical killing enthusiast.

And this is not surprising.

Nightmare mages have a long lifespan, and for thousands of years, they either kill gods or are killed by gods, and death is always with them.

The nightmare mage or the twisted angel who have survived until now has not been killed thousands of times.

People who are kind-hearted and peace-loving can also become murderous after so much blood and death.

Mu Chen sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, I have always adhered to my heart and have not become a killing madman like Mephistopheles."

Killing and death are evil after all, love and hope are the future! ”

So.

Next, what to do with Lucia's body?

Paul said that Lucia must be brought back in life or death.

The corpse is too big to move, so let's burn it to ashes and put it in the urn to take it back.

Just when Mu Chen was distressed because there was no fire oil to help burn, it was difficult to burn the corpse into ashes.

Not far away, an azure light flashed. The teleportation array is activated.

Someone is here again, who is it?

Mu Chen looked back vigilantly, it was Victor, this guy finally came.

Near the solo waypoint, Victor is leaning down to examine the corpse of Tuga Clever Tongue.

Seeing Mu Chen, he asked, "You killed it?" ”

"yes."

"Well done."

Victor praised it, and immediately saw the dead body of Lucia at Mu Chen's feet.

He said in a heavy tone: "She, did you kill her too?" ”

"Uh....."

Mu Chen nodded.

He knew that Victor liked Lucia, and he wanted to say no, but the wound on Tuca's corpse was exactly the same as the wound on Lucia's corpse, and it could be seen with a slight comparison.

Rather than lying to be recognized.

It's better to tell the truth.

Victor looked at Lucia's body sadly, and finally, helplessly, turned into a sigh.

"Well, well done."

He didn't ask Muchen what the reason for killing Lucia was.

I'm afraid, he knows in his heart that Lucia has been deeply bewitched by Tuga, and she can't extricate herself, and there is no cure.

It's him, and he has to be killed.

Seeing that Victor was not pursued, Mu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy is a nice guy, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of him.

"Hey, where's the corpse of the angel on the throne? Why is it gone? ”

Victor noticed that Mephistopheles' body was gone, and immediately asked Mu Chendao.

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen the angel corpse you said when I came to this ruin." ”

Mephistopheles's affair is too cumbersome to explain.

Just say I don't know.

The angel's corpse vanished, and Victor looked solemn. He knew that Tuga's ultimate goal seemed to be to resurrect the angel's corpse.

Now, Toujia Clever Tongue is dead.

But the angel's corpse was gone.

This made Victor wonder if Tujia had succeeded and if the angel had really been resurrected.

"By the way, do you have any oil on you?" Mu Chen asked.

"What do you want oil for?"

"Paul asked me to bring Lucia's bones back..."

Victor glanced at Lucia on the ground again. After being silent for a long time, he took out a palm-sized can of fire oil and handed it to Mu Chen.

Fire oil, similar to gasoline in the real world, has a first-class combustion effect, and is the main material for making torches and incendiary bombs.

He poured some oil on Lucia's body.

Then he lit it with a torch, and the corpse suddenly burst into flames, and in an instant, Lucia's body was burned to ashes.

Mu Chen looked at the backpack, there was no container suitable for holding ashes.

He turned his gaze to Victor next to him for help.

Victor was helpless, took out a box from the storage space, took out the contents inside, and then handed the empty box to Mu Chen.

Picked up some ashes and put them in the box.

A system prompt rang in Mu Chen's ears, informing him that the task was completed, please go back to Flame City to find Paul and receive the task reward.

It's finally over.

Not only did the mission go smoothly, but there were also unexpected gains.

Although Mephistopheles is poor, he is strong and a good backer.

If you encounter a troublesome enemy that you can't solve in the future, you can ask Mephistopheles to solve it.

He had a hobby of killing and war.

Destroy the enemy.

Presumably he wouldn't refuse.

Mu Chen said to Victor: "What should I do with Tujia Qiaoyu's body, which is also burned?" ”

Victor nodded, "Burn it." ”

Mu Chen easily burned Tujia's body as well.

He looked at the fire burning on Tuca's corpse, turned his head to look at Victor on the side, and said, "Do you know how Tujia discovered this ruin?" ”

Victor said: "This relic was not discovered by Tuca, but by my teacher.

He also thought that this was just an ordinary ruin, and originally wanted to invite Master Peier to come and investigate, but because Master Peier was not available at that time, he asked Tujia to come over.

Tujia was well-read and knew the ancient ruins in a way that was second only to Master Peer in the Thieves' Guild.

However, since Tujia came to this ruin, many strange things have happened to the thieves' union, first the teacher disappeared, and then many people disappeared.

At the time, I suspected that there was something wrong with Tuga, and since he entered the ruins, strange things have happened one after another.

But I never found any conclusive evidence, so I didn't kill him. ”

Mu Chen was curious: "Is he strong?" Why didn't you kill him and let him escape here? ”

"He's not strong, but he has a very weird item that can bend the rules and be extremely difficult," Victor explained.

You killed Tuga, did you find that prop on his corpse, it was a book-like prop. ”

"Nope."

Mu Chen said.

Victor said solemnly, "Okay, but I have to remind you that the root cause of the tragedy and chaos that has occurred in Nightlight Town for three years is in that black book. ”

"I see."

Mu Chen didn't care.

The Nightmare Codex was taken away by Mephistopheles, and even if he stayed and Mu Chen got it, he was not afraid.

The root of the chaos is in the human heart, not in a tool.

It all came to an end.

Mu Chen prepares to leave, while Victor stays, as if he wants to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of the angel's corpse.

Through the solo teleportation point, Mu Chen returns to the Thieves Guild President's Office.

It was found to be a mess, with traces of a fight everywhere.

Outside, in Night Town, although it did not cause much damage and damage, Night Town was full of hurried and flustered thieves, like headless flies, scurrying around.

The streets were filled with roars, shouts, shouts, wails, and other sounds.

Mu Chen launched the Void Escape Technique, and then teleported all the way back to the tavern.

Now the tavern is overcrowded and full.

Everyone was nervous.

Mu Chen was in the corner and found Marshall, who was drinking alcohol, and he stepped forward.

Seeing Mu Chen, Marshall looked curious: "Brother, I haven't seen you for two days, where have you been?" ”
