Leaving 44 Red Rose Street, and sitting in the returning carriage, Liam receives a letter from Andrew who has been there overnight to investigate the Hovog orphanage.

Nocas lowered the curtain and looked at the young man across from him with a worried expression.

Liam knew what to say, "Andrew is his own man and can be trusted. ”

Although Nocas still had concerns in his heart, he did not show it, he was very clear about his position, as a tool, his only role was to perform the master's task, and the tool did not need to think.

"You find an opportunity to bring Nokas into the sect, and the two of you will join forces to rectify the 'Dragon's Tooth Knights' and eliminate the dishonest ones one by one." After Liam finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent the other man out.

Nocas saluted respectfully and slowly exited the carriage.

Only then did Liam open the envelope, take out the bloodstained letter, and stretch it out to read.

Looking at it, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and his eyes became more and more cold.

Flames burst out of the palm of his hand, instantly setting the paper on fire, and burning the envelope to ashes.

"Whew." Liam let out a breath and applied a level 2 magic "Meditation" to himself, and his emotions calmed down.

Liam felt like he was in the center of a maelstrom, a myriad of messages pouring in from all directions, chaotic and disorganized, and could be understood by any one of them, but when put together, they were extremely obscure.

"The situation is getting more and more complicated, and we need to solve the immediate problems as soon as possible."

Liam lifted the curtain and commanded Nocas, who was the groom, "Tell Andrew to come to me at once." ”

Nocas was startled, and then nodded yes.

Liam sat back in the carriage, closed his eyes, and the contents of the letter came to mind.

It is a letter detailing the ruins of Hovog, detailing the details of the ruins, and boldly speculating on the scene of the disaster, as well as the abilities and identities of the killer, and more importantly, explaining at the end why Mira was dismembered, where her body was placed, and why the missing person may have been a woman.

"Sacrifice," Liam opened his eyes, and the letter ended with "the maiden's body was divided into five parts, her head facing the ruins, her legs facing the path of life, her hands embracing death, and her body lying horizontally at her feet. In the Franklin family of the Northern Continent, this method of death is a sacrifice to the evil gods in the deepest part of the abyss. And the missing person is most likely a pure woman, because in the ritual, the blood of a pure woman is required to summon the demon at the end. ”

Liam still remembers the first time he saw Jiao Li with the "curtain", and there was a faint white color on her body, and the energy of this color had only been seen in Jiao Li so far.

The curtain was lifted, and a sturdy man in silver armor stepped in.

"My lord, you're looking for me." Andrew is straight and speaks directly.

"Andrew, who else was with you on the trip to Hovog last night?" Liam didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Andrew thought for a moment with his not-so-clever brain, "In addition to me and the Knights' brothers, there's also a drunken short old man. ”

"Short old man?" Liam noticed the oddity, "Why did you bring a short old man?" ”

Andrew showed a wronged expression and explained: "My lord, the old man stopped us on the road at first, and he didn't want to take him with us, but we refused, and warned him to get out of the way, and the old man didn't follow. Strangely, when we arrived at Hovog, the old man suddenly appeared behind us. ”

"The old man didn't go with us, he just walked around the ruins, and beckoned a few of us to go with him, saying that he could find clues to the survivors."

The more Liam listened, the more he felt that there was something strange in it, who was this short old man, and why did he get involved?

"Later."

"The old man took us to find a dismembered female corpse, and buried the female corpse, and then wrote a letter for me to pass on to the adults."

"That's all?"

"He also said in the end that the wine of the adults is good."

"Good wine...," Liam chewed on, and then thought of a spot.

"And one more strange thing, my lord, after the round trip, two horses died mysteriously, and their entrails seemed to have been eaten by worms." Andrew concluded.

"The horse's entrails have been eaten by bugs?" Liam knew that the horses of the Knights were carefully selected, and there was absolutely no problem with their health.

What bugs can hollow out a sturdy horse, and it's still two, and the interval between them is too short.

"Dark magic..."Liam vaguely caught the dwarf old man's tactics, he didn't know the location of the Hovog orphanage, so he intercepted Andrew halfway, the old man didn't expect the other party to pick himself up, because he could get into the horse's belly and go with them.

When he returned, he got into the belly of another horse and followed Andrew back to the restaurant.

Thinking of this, Liam's expression became solemn, and it was really a wave of unsettled.

"Andrew, you go back to the post station to rest first."

"Your Excellency, you..."

"I'll go back to the restaurant and meet this group of uninvited guests."

With the means used by the other party, it is definitely not a level 2 knight squire like Andrew who can resist it, the other members of the "Dragon Tooth Knights" are ordinary people, and going is tantamount to death, rather than doing this, it is better to go in person, at least there is hope.

Thinking of this, Liam looked at the ring on his right hand, a ring set with gray stone, given by Michelle before leaving.

"Hopefully this cursed object won't disappoint." Liam prayed in his heart.

The group escorted around the carriage, passing through an intersection, and the group of Andrew separated from each other, and the carriage drove alone to the restaurant.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and Nocas's voice came from outside.

"My lord, here we are."

Liam got up and turned his head to look.

The curtain had been lifted by Nocas, and from the carriage there was a direct view of the courtyard with the back door closed.

"Nocas, you go and meet Andrew first."

"My lord, what about you?" Nocas was surprised, why should he go elsewhere if he was not a stronghold in front of him?

"As the host, of course, you have to greet your guests personally." Liam got out of the carriage and walked alone to the closed door, a cold touch coming from his left hand.

Harpy slipped out of his sleeve and landed on Liam's palm, its hollow eyes staring at the quiet restaurant, its mouth clicking sound.

"Oh, you're going to let me show off a little bit?" Liam was a little surprised by Harpy's suggestion, but then he was reassured that since the other party said so, it meant that the trip was not so dangerous.

At the very least, not to the extent of using the Ring of Dusk.

Raise your hand and press on the door, and with a little force, the door will open silently.

At the same time, Liam quietly cut a hole in the cover of the "Demon Sealing Reversal Ritual", and an invisible black aura suddenly enveloped the whole person.

What caught his eye was an old man with a stiff body, shabby clothes, gray hair, a pair of sharp-beaked monkey gills, blind in one eye, and found that most of his teeth had fallen out when he spoke.

"Your breath is unique, and your humble servant, Larry Coullow, is here to welcome the great descendants of the Grim Reaper."

The old man, named Larry, knelt on the ground and bowed in greeting.

Liam's right eye "curtain" silently activated, and the breath on the other party's body was unobstructed, it was a rich spiritual aura intertwined with black and gray, and the black tombstone on that breath had dry palms and dirty maggots.

"Lich mage..."Liam immediately understood that the man in front of him was a lone soul walking between death and resurrection.
