In the afternoon, it's a little laid-back.

Akali is training, and Ahri is meditating.

Lu Qi also finished his comprehension of the world runes, and was lying leisurely, listening to the chirping of birds in the trees, recovering his mental strength.

He found that the comprehension rune required a lot of mental energy, and after trying it for the first time, he clearly felt a fainting sensation like suffocation.

This is exactly the manifestation of the excessive use of mental power.

Fortunately, he also stopped in moderation, and nothing unusual happened in the whole process, the good thing is that Lu Qi has a clearer understanding of runes and a more detailed control of rune energy.

At this time, Irelia was also busy praying for the spirit, and was wiping her blade in the courtyard.

These blades used to be her family's family emblem, but by chance they split into blades and became her strength.

At that moment, a three-tailed bird descended from the sky and chirped.

Irelia looked at her, got up, and pulled a letter from the three-tailed bird's leg.

The Three-Tailed Bird is a spiritual bird of Ionia that flies fast and is a good messenger.

After the letter was picked up, the three-tailed bird turned around and flew away.

Irelia, on the other hand, slowly opened the letter and looked at it.

Seeing that after reading it, she showed a puzzled expression.

Akali stopped her training and asked curiously, "Who sent you the letter?" ”

"Hmm." Irelia nodded, and didn't hide it, "Elder Nan Wu's letter, the letter said that he wanted to discuss something important with me, and wanted me to go to Nan Wu Town. ”

"Elder Nan Wu? Has he ever crossed paths with you? ”

Akali is no stranger to the name.

The other party is a well-known leader of Ionia, who has been famous for a long time, and a town is named after him.

"Once, when I was fighting with the rebels against Noxus, Elder Nan Wu personally came to help. If we didn't have him in that battle, we would have paid a lot of sacrifices. ”

Irelia was also reminded of such a character, and she respected such a character from the bottom of her heart.

"I've heard that this elder did a lot during the campaign." Akali looked at Irelia and asked, "So you're going to go?" ”

"If it's a trivial matter, it's already stated in the letter. Since it's an important matter, I think I'd better give it a trip. ”

Irelia put away the letter and made her decision.

When Lu Qi heard this, he got up and said, "In that case, let's also go over and have a look, maybe there is something we can do to help." ”

I was here to wait for Irelia's reply, and if she left, the three of them naturally had no point of staying.

It's better to stop by Nanwu Town to have a look.

Nanwu Town is not particularly far from Da Village, but it is also a three or four day away.

After saying goodbye to the village chief of Dada Village, everyone quickly set out on the road.

Four days later.

Nan has no outside the town.

Everyone crossed a path, and Nan Wuzhen slowly emerged.

It was morning, and the gentle sun shone on the harmonious atmosphere of the town.

Looking at the small town in their eyes, the four of them rode on their horses and quickened their pace.

At this moment, Lu Qi suddenly felt a sense of restlessness, and couldn't help but say "Huh" in his heart: "This is."

He perceived it carefully, confirming that Fang Cai's restlessness came from two world rune fragments in the sea of spiritual consciousness.

Looking at the town in his eyes, Lu Qi showed a thoughtful look.

Usually, these two rune fragments are lying in the mental space like two stones, and at this time, they are inexplicably restless, which can only show one possibility.

Perhaps there is a world rune in this realm?

Where it was, Lu Qi couldn't perceive it, but felt that his guess was basically the same.

After all, now, his control over rune energy is even more refined.

Even he can already do it, quoting some rune energy into the body, which can achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

According to past experience, if you use rune energy excessively, it is also a lot of wear and tear on the body, and it will take more than a month to recover.

But this situation is different, and if it is only a part of the guidance, the wear and tear on the body is almost equal to zero.

As Lu Qi's control of the runes becomes more sophisticated, the power he can channel will also increase.

By this time, the four of them had already entered the town.

The size of Nanwu Town is about the same as that of Gu Yuan Town, and it may be even larger.

The town was named after Elder Nan Wu, who himself held a prominent position in the town and was responsible for maintaining peace and justice in the town.

Elder Nan Wu's mansion was not difficult to find, and the four of them quickly searched for it.

An ancient courtyard appeared in Lu Qi's eyes, just like the mansion of a wealthy family in ancient times, with people like family members guarding the door, and two stone lions standing on the left and right.

This feeling made him quite familiar, and he had a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Lord Zan, why are you here?"

At this time, the disciple at the door saw Irelia's face surprised, Ben was lying lazily, and he quickly got up at this time.

Irelia was born into the Zan family, a well-known dance family, but was later destroyed by Noxus, leaving her alone.

She now represents the entire Zan family.

Seeing the disciple's surprised look, Irelia was puzzled, and then took out Elder Nan Wu's letter and said, "The elder asked me to come a few days ago to discuss important matters, didn't he inform you?" ”

"This"

The disciple took the letter, glanced at it, and said, "It is indeed the master's handwriting, it seems that he did not inform us, so please come in." ”

Naturally, he himself would not stop Irelia, so he turned around and opened the door and welcomed everyone into the mansion.

On the way, the disciple said, "If it's a coincidence, Master said exactly four days ago that he was going to retreat, and he hasn't left the retreat yet. I guess a few of you will have to wait a while. ”

"There's no hurry, it's a big retreat."

Irelia said.

This disciple arranged everyone in the living room, then brought tea, and soon another disciple came to receive him, it was Elder Nan Wu's eldest disciple.

The eldest disciple also had many doubts at this moment: "Even I haven't heard that Master has contacted you, so how can he call someone to come when he is about to retreat?" ”

He had met with Irelia, and he was very respectful and did not dare to slack off.

However, even he, a big disciple, couldn't figure it out, and everyone didn't understand it even more.

To say that the retreat at this time is indeed a bit of a coincidence.

Didn't Elder Nan Wu know that Irelia would be here in the next few days?

"Could it be more important?"

Irelia speculated in her heart that she didn't even tell her own disciples, so it could only be more important, right?

Lu Qi felt that something was wrong, he thought for a moment and said, "Where is Elder Nan Wu in retreat?" Can you show us there? ”

The eldest disciple regarded the people brought by Irelia as honored guests, and he was a little hesitant when he heard this: "Master retreats, and he generally doesn't like others to disturb him. ”

Lu Qi said: "We won't disturb him, just go over and have a look." I want to see the retreat of the elders. ”

When Irelia saw him say this, she said, "Take us over and have a look, I'm curious too." ”

"Okay."

The eldest disciple struggled again and again, but still agreed. On the way, he advised: "Don't make too much noise, so as not to disturb the master." Retreat is no small matter. ”

In general retreat, it is necessary to break through some bottleneck, otherwise it will not be easy to retreat.

Naturally, it is not easy to disturb at this time.

The retreat place chosen by Elder Nan Wu is also in the house, but it is a very quiet place in the backyard, where there are many rockeries, a magnificent ancient house in the center, surrounded by water, and all kinds of fish swim in the water.

It's beautiful to look at, and it's quite meaningful.

"Master is in retreat here, he's been in there for four days, and I guess he's at a critical juncture."

The eldest disciple lowered his voice and said to a few people.

At this moment, Ahri suddenly looked nervous and grabbed Lu Qi's sleeve, and his eyes were full of unease.

Seeing her expression, Lu Qi already understood, and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that Elder Nan Wu has encountered an accident, and I want to open the door to take a look." ”

The eldest disciple was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "You guy, what are you talking about?" ”

Irelia raised her hand to stop him from being angry, and looked at Luqi worriedly: "Is this true?" ”

"Eighty percent true."

Luck nodded.

Ahri also whispered at this time, "I can't feel the breath of life of Elder Nan Wu. ”

Although she has only been with Ahri for a short time, Irelia also knows that it is this magic that she excels at.

If she thinks so.

Irelia's expression couldn't help but become solemn, and she looked at the eldest disciple.

And the eldest disciple also saw something in her eyes, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran to the ancient house, not bothering to cover his voice.

"Master!"

He opened the door of the ancient house, and the whole person was stunned at first, and then knelt down, as if he had lost his soul.

Irelia's pupils shrank, too.

I saw that in the middle of the ancient house, a white-bearded old man was hanging on the wall, his complexion was as gray as a corpse, his eyes were blank, and he had long lost his breath.

It's Elder Nan Wu!

His chest seemed to be pierced by a sharp blade, the blood had been drained, and the ground was covered with blood, which looked like a blooming blood-colored flower.

The blood was apparently dripping from the wound in the chest.

Seeing this, several people also rushed over immediately, and left to smell the smell of blood.

Irelia entered the ancient house defensively, looked left and right, and frowned.

There are traces of a battle in the house, and although they are not obvious, they are not difficult to find.

It is basically certain that Elder Nan Wu was killed.

"He fought with the killer before his death, but he quickly lost the ability to resist, and then was pierced through the chest with a sharp blade."

Lu Qi looked around the room, and his mind had already restored the situation before Elder Nan Wu was killed.

Judging from the traces, the battle was not fierce, and Elder Nan Wu resisted, but was quickly defeated.

It shows that the murderer's strength is far above that of Elder Nan Wu.

After all, if the strength is not enough, with the strength of Elder Nan Wu, he will definitely have time to ask for help.

According to Irelia, although Elder Nan Wu was not an absolute powerhouse, he was not weak either.

"Judging from the corpse spots, Elder Nan Wu has been killed for more than four days, and he may have been killed on the day of the retreat."

Lu Qi looked at it again.

Akali gasped in disbelief, "Who the hell did this?" ”

Elder Nan Wu is recognized as a good old man, and he is also quite prestigious, who wants to treat him like this? Can you sneak in quietly?

Under the noses of a group of disciples, he killed Elder Nan Wu.

"Whoever it is, you have to find out."

Irelia's eyes were solemn, she stood up and looked at the eldest disciple with a dull expression: "I understand the mood, but what we have to do now is to seal down Nan Wu Town and bury Elder Nan Wu. ”

The eldest disciple came back to his senses when he heard this, wiped away his tears, and immediately turned around.

Lu Qi stopped the disciple and said, "It has been four days since the crime, and it is very likely that the murderer has escaped." It doesn't make sense to seal the town now, if the murderer is in the town, it will attract his attention. We thought that Elder Nan Wu was still in retreat, and we didn't know anything about it. Then began to secretly investigate the murderer. ”

The eldest disciple looked at Irelia, his heart was completely confused.

Irelia said, "Just do as he says." ”

If you think about it, this is indeed the truth.

Four days is enough for the murderer to escape and stay away from Nan Wuzhen.

Now they have too little information, and they can't be sure if the murderer has left, and why he assassinated Elder Nan Wu.

Irelia didn't expect such a thing to happen.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but now it was imperative to find a way to deal with it.

Soon, in the living room of the mansion, all of Elder Nan Wu's disciples were recruited. When they were told the news of Elder Nan Wu's death, many of the disciples were unable to suffer the blow and almost fainted.

Some wept bitterly, some hid their faces and wept, and some were churning with anger.

"Elder Nan Wu has any enemies? When this kind of thing happens, the first one to push it to the enemy is right. ”

Lu Qi asked aloud at this time.

The eldest disciple quickly replied, "Master, he has been kind to people in his life, and has made countless friends, and he has never made enemies with others, let alone enemies. ”

The disciples couldn't think of an enemy.

"There are no enemies."

Lu Qi thought for a moment, and then said, "Then there are only two possibilities, the first is that he has provoked someone recently." The second is even more difficult, that is, the murderer indiscriminately hurts people. ”

Hearing his words, all the disciples felt the coldness and anger all over their bodies.

If it really hurts people indiscriminately, that murderer is really a heinous crime.

"Nearly."

At this time, the eldest disciple seemed to remember something, and said, "It can only be this." Master and his elders had openly opposed the establishment of state power and military administration in the Newborn Land, and had strongly condemned the radicals. ”

Speaking of this, everyone immediately thought of the Brotherhood.

At present, the Brotherhood is the most advocating force for the establishment of political power and armies, and of course, it is not only the Brotherhood that wants to do so, but it is the most famous.

Akali and Ahri both looked at Irelia for a moment, and Irelia looked solemn.

Just a few days ago, she had been assassinated by the Brotherhood.

When you think about it, the suspicion of the Brotherhood is simply boundless.

Lu Qi suddenly smelled the smell of conspiracy at this moment, and he always felt that things were not so simple.
