At the town hall of Crowe, Lomo was sitting in the reception room, receiving inquiries.

Mayor Bacon Cecil and Sheriff Poka Harlan sit across from Lomo. What happened in Saldin's Manor was so tragic that it involved necromancers, and the town took it very seriously, so the two high-ranking officials of the town received Lomo together.

Sitting with them was a young man with a hooked nose, a high nose, and curly dark brown hair, who was an envoy sent by Fort Mikawa to investigate the case of the necromancer's appearance in Crowe.

Behind the three of them, a clerk sits in charge of recording the inquiry.

"Baron Saltin, please tell us the truth, what happened that night at your estate?" Sheriff Poka Harlan asked.

Lomo spoke, "There is one thing I need to do before I ask. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, took out a bag of things from the package behind him, put it on the table, and said, "Although these gold coins are small, they are almost all my remaining savings. Captain Elder of your town's guards and his mercenary mage saved my life, and I have no choice but to take out these gold coins and give them to your town. ”

When Mayor Bacon Cecil heard this, his heart was overjoyed, but as the mayor of the town, he had to maintain a certain amount of composure and reserve, so he glanced at Poka Harlan and gave him a look.

Harlan immediately received the mayor's gaze and reached out his hand, naturally holding the bag.

He was not in a hurry to look at it, but carried it a little, the bag was very small, but it was unexpectedly heavy, it should be a gold coin.

After confirming the contents of the package, he also gave Mayor Mare a look.

The mayor immediately understood, and he smiled at Lomo, "Sir Sardin, you are too polite. On behalf of the town hall and the convoy, I thank you for your generosity. ”

Lomo nodded in acknowledgement, and for a moment, the reception room was filled with a pleasant and harmonious air.

Lomo wants a friendly atmosphere in which they are more inclined to believe their own words, so that even if there are a few small holes in the lies they make up, they don't matter.

The sophistication of human feelings is common everywhere.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been set up, Luo Mo stroked his chest, as if he was unwilling to recall the events of that day, and was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Then I will start to tell." ”

After a long time, Lomo finally finished speaking. The mayor and sheriff, who were sitting opposite, listened to the whole thing and looked at Lomo with the eyes of a caring fool. The curly-haired envoy beside him looked focused, as if he was silently thinking about something.

"You mean," the sheriff concluded, "that necromancer, Mercado, not only deceived you and spent all your money in the month he entered the manor, but also killed all the people in your manor, and then turned them into zombies?" ”

"Yes." Lomo nodded, "He also tried to kill me, but fortunately the two mercenary mages and Captain Elder arrived in time for me to survive." ”

"Why didn't Mercado kill you?" The curly-haired envoy beside the mayor suddenly asked, "He is a mid-level mage, his strength is very strong, it only takes a moment to kill you." ”

Hearing this, Lomo explained in a deep voice: "He saved my life because he wanted to ask me where the remaining treasures in the castle were, but I kept saying nothing, so I got a chance to survive. ”

When the curly-haired envoy heard this explanation, he immediately asked, "So, how did Veranica, mother and daughter, kill Mercado and save you?" As far as I know, one of them is a low-level mage, and the other is just an apprentice mage. In terms of strength, it seems that it is not enough to deal with Mercado. ”

For this question, Luo Mo and Daisy have already confessed and have been prepared for a long time: "That pair of mage mother and daughter used a beauty trick. Well... I mean, Mercado thought he had a chance to win, and when he saw Lady Villanica's beauty, he underestimated him, and I remember saying some ridiculous and blasphemous things. Then they seized the opportunity. However, before he died, Mercado still injured Lady Villanica. ”

Lomo said this, with a look of regret in his eyes: "Poor lady Daisy, she lost her mother because of me. ”

The curly-haired envoy thought for a moment, and then asked, "Are you sure you are not contaminated with Mercado's carrion poison or corpse qi?" ”

"Nope." Lomo shook his head affirmatively and said, "I saw the deaths of those people in the manor, and I think if I were contaminated, it would probably be the same fate as them now." ”

The curly-haired envoy fell silent, seemingly believing Lomo's words. Indeed, if an ordinary person was really injured by a necromancer, he would not sit here so well and be questioned.

It can only be said that this baron is really lucky. Of course, it's bad enough.

Seeing that neither the sheriff nor the envoy were silent, the mayor finally spoke, "Baron Sardin, I sympathize with your plight. We don't have much more to ask. The fault for this tragedy is only Merkdo, and Lady Villanika also died from his carrion poison. Now that he's subdued, there's nothing left for you to worry about. We look forward to your estate being able to thrive again. ”

"Thank you for the good words of the mayor." Lomo nodded in acknowledgement.

With that, the crowd stood up and bowed to each other, ready to end the inquiry.

Polka, the sheriff, suddenly asked, "By the way, why didn't your old butler Peeps come with you?" ”

Lomo was prepared for this question and replied, "He has already snuck away this morning. ”

"Escaped?" Polkaa had a surprised look on his face.

"So many people died in the manor at once, it has become a cursed place, who dares to stay inside." Lomo smiled wryly.

Poka nodded, in understanding, and cursed in a low voice, "This damned, cowardly servant. ”

Lomo was relieved. I didn't expect to be so easy to fool this matter over.

However, before the stone in his heart could fall to the ground, the curly-haired envoy suddenly spoke: "Lord Sir, I will return to the manor with you to purify the land that Merktor killed people in blood and necromancy. The necromancer's poison must be cleaned. ”

When Lomo heard this, his heart sank, and he asked, "You are a priest who practices divine magic?" ”

"Yes." The envoy smiled and said, "Lord Sir seems to know a lot about the types of magic. He knew that divine magic could purify necromantic magic. ”

"Yes, as a nobleman, I know a little bit." Lomo said with a smile as well.

The priest's envoy nodded and said, "Since you know, please don't trust mages of unknown origin in the future." ”

"Thanks for the reminder."

Lomo had a smile on his face, but his heart began to be jealous. Divine magic is the natural enemy of necromantic magic, and I wonder if this priest will discover the secrets on his body.

......

At that moment, Lomo led the curly-haired priest to his manor.

Although he was very jealous of the curly, he was very friendly and welcoming, after all, they had come to help purify his manor's necromantic magic.

"I don't know the name of the envoy yet." Lomo asked.

"Shelley Hubert. A low-ranking priest. The curly-haired envoy smiled.

The pastor actually had a good impression of this Lomo. When he was in Sanchuan Fort, some people once said that Baron Saldin was a fool, but when they actually got along, they found that this baron was sophisticated, logical, and polite, and at first glance he was a man with brains.

This can be seen from the fact that he gave gold coins, told about the case, and received people and things. It is really embarrassing that such a gentleman with good cultivation was deceived so badly by that Mercado.

Necromancer, sure enough, is a cancer in this world! The priest thought silently.

Luo Mo heard the priest's self-introduction, and his heart suddenly settled down a little, a low-level mage, who was of the same grade as himself, might be able to fool the past.

It's just that as soon as he relaxed a little, he heard Shelley say: "Did the necromancer Merctor live in your castle when he was in the manor?" ”

"Yes." Luo Mo knew that this could not be deceived, so he had to nod his head.

"You live with him?" Shelley's face turned serious.

"I live on the west side of the second floor and he lives on the east side of the third floor. It's actually quite far away. Lomo explained.

"That's not going to work either!" Shelley immediately said: "There will definitely be residual poison left in the place where the necromancer lives, and we will start purifying it from your castle." I'm going to take all the things he left here back to Sanchuan Fort. ”

When Luo Mo heard this, his heart was shocked, and he immediately thought of the third room on the right side of the third floor.

Pips's body was burned, but the books Mercado had left behind were still there. That was Mercado's most valuable legacy to himself.

It would be a big loss if it was taken away by this curly-haired priest like this.

How good is that?
