28. Wait for the move
Everything was still, and the ice storm also stopped, but in the space close to two hundred elbows, it seemed that everything had stopped, and the endless bone wall collapsed layer by layer, turning into black smoke, but it was frozen in it, connected to nine layers, on the ninth layer, the bone wall was still complete, but the cold invaded it, Wang Qinian couldn't help but shiver fiercely, and a layer of frost formed on the bodies and faces of the others.
"Wow", Wang Qinian spit out a breath of black gas, which was quickly frozen, and there was ice cubes in it, he just finished spitting, as if getting a signal, several people also opened their mouths and spit out blood, but there were ice cubes large and small, the water curtain Tianhua had frozen, and the fire barrier had also been extinguished, and they were injured because the cold was even worse, invading the lungs and other internal organs.
Wang Qinian waved his hand to remove the bone wall, his body seemed to be in the middle of winter, but it was autumn outside, everything was in darkness, the magic lamp had burst, and no living creatures in the entire building were alive except for the six of them.
Wang Qinian looked at an ice sculpture not far away, it was James, his face was still laughing wildly, but there was no life in his eyes.
At the time of the ice storm, Rose had returned to the headquarters of the Order, she was alone on the big oak chair, there was no light in the hall, but the door was open, just in the dark, suddenly there was a strong fluctuation of water magic, but the direction was the office of Horlinqiaoton, the magic fluctuation quickly disappeared, she was stunned for a moment, and then understood something, tears flowed from her eyes, they had not fallen, and they were dried by her, she knew James too well, and knew that James was dead.
She suddenly laughed, and hummed a song from her hometown:
Irises bloom in front of your eyes.
My beloved,
but they have departed from me,
Ruthless irises,
Why are you so delicate?
......
The song was like a cry, her voice was hoarse, but there was a smile on her face, if anyone saw it, a chill would sink into her heart, but no one was in front of her, but someone heard her singing. But no one entered the main hall.

Wang Qinian's six people cleaned up the scene. There were only six people left, and the entire building was enveloped in the magic, but they found that the stables were at the left rear of the building. Although it has been affected. However, since Nightmare is a monster. It has extremely high magic resistance, but it has not been affected much, Wang Qinian looked at everything in front of him. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's really clean, it's just us in the huge building, even the rats are frozen to death, ladies and gentlemen, we still have to deal with the enemy in the dark, close the door, rearrange the magic array, we can rest, good night, everyone." β
Everyone got busy, and after an hour, they basically cleaned up, rearranged the protective magic array, and everyone rested.
The next morning, Huo Lin Qiaoton's office was relatively independent, there was no one around, but there were no casualties around the people, even so, after getting up in the morning, two bodies were found, looking at the clothes, it should be some gang spies, they didn't expect that there would be a sudden cold wave here last night, fortunately it was an outbreak inside the building, otherwise the scope was larger.
They took off James's ring, there were gold coins and magic items in the ring, but there was no such shipment, except for the tears of the fallen angel that James had used yesterday, everyone felt a headache, the person was dead, but the whereabouts of the thing were unknown, there were a lot of goods, a ring could not fit it, it would be hidden somewhere, Jessica was most anxious, she came for that batch of materials.
When eating breakfast, there was no one to wait, even the bread and the like had to be baked by themselves, James and Peter took the initiative to serve as cooks, but they still baked the bread to half-burnt and undercooked, the two of them were very embarrassed, Wang Qinian didn't feel anything, although his sense of taste recovered partially, but in general, he still couldn't taste the fine taste, and several other people were about to come.
"Professor Qi Nian, where do you think James will hide that shipment?" asked Jessica.
Wang Qinian put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth gently, and replied politely: "Beautiful Jessica, don't worry about this matter, this will damage your beauty, I am afraid that there is still someone who knows about these things." β
Jessica thoughtfully, "You're talking about Rose, James's lover?"
"I'm talking about her, this woman is not easy to deal with, I have fought with her, she is a druid, very tricky, still waiting for our reinforcements to arrive. Wang Qinian is still more scruptuous.
"Yes, Professor Jessica, what Professor Qi Nian said is right, that woman is very powerful, she can calmly retreat under Professor Qi Nian and me, she is not a simple woman, in the absence of reinforcements, try not to fight her. Lytice put down her knife and fork and said.
Seeing that both of them said this, Jessica nodded, and did not mention the matter. James asked curiously, "Professor Qi Nian, what should we do then?"
"Wait, wait for reinforcements to arrive, no surprise, not today, tomorrow will come, we don't have to do anything, just wait in this building. Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"This town still needs reinforcements?" James was a little unconvinced, "With a few of us, we can't settle them, it seems that it's just a few gangsters, didn't Professor Qinian destroy two gangsters?"
"It's not to destroy, it should be said that they were caught off guard enough, they are deep-rooted, I just eliminated what they didn't think of, most of their strength is not in the headquarters, yesterday day, but I can't figure out who the murderer is, and there is no leader, if my guess is correct, after a day of integration, I'm afraid they also heard that I killed their leader, maybe they will come to us for revenge." Wang Qinian said lightly.
Wang Qinian was right, the time went back to yesterday morning, at the headquarters of the Burke Defenders, members came one after another, but what imprinted into their eyes was a scene after the killing. Several bodyguards were twisted necks and fell to different places, and when they looked inside, they saw a charred corpse, who could no longer tell, and there was a smell of meat in the air.
A group of people were nauseous in their chests, fortunately it was morning, they didn't eat meat, otherwise they would really vomit, look at the figure, it should be Halred, their head, who did it, they first suspected the head of the Gael's Enterprising Regiment, because there was a contradiction between the two gangs, and the impulsive people wanted to seek revenge on the people of the Gael's Enterprising Regiment.
Before they set off, they got a news that the head of the Gael's Advance Regiment was also dead, and the scene was a mess, dying in the basement, this news confused them all at once, what happened, most of the people in the Burke Defenders Gang are rough men, it's okay to let them charge and kill, let them use their brains, but it will hurt them.
As time went on, the leaders of the two powerful forces in the gang appeared, one was Wyrtschfrye, and the other was MalmΓΆ, the two were not in harmony, this was deliberately done by Halred, checking and balancing each other, and now as soon as Halred died, the first thing they thought of was not to avenge Halred, but his position, and the two powerful forces faced each other like this, and almost had an internal battle.
In this way, it has been bombarded until the night, and the two forces finally reached a compromise, who will avenge the boss first, and whose position is his, and the two sides have calmed down, and first collected the body for the boss, and were busy until late at night, although they suspected that the boss's death was related to the female mage of Lytis a few days ago, but unfortunately the boss caught her as soon as he caught her, and locked her up in a secret place, and they didn't know what to do.
They couldn't make up for a while, they didn't think about Huo Lin Qiaoton, but Huo Lin Qiaoton's office here is James, and they are still very familiar with a person, knowing that he is a sixth-level mage, and besides, the relationship is usually very good, even if they arrested Huo Lin Qiaoton's person, they also pretended not to see it, and they fell into a dilemma of thinking for a while.
Similarly, the Gael's Enterprising Regiment was also caught in this, the Gael's Enterprising Regiment was not almost split, their deputy commander Welbur was not at the headquarters at night, and most of the regimental members were not at the headquarters, when the next morning they found a messy scene, the first thing that came to mind was the Burke Defenders, and Wilbur was naturally ordered to become the head of the Gael's Enterprising Regiment, and was going to send someone to the headquarters of the Burke Defenders to inquire, but before he went to that place, the news had arrived, and Halred was dead.
Wilbur first thought of Wright, only the regimental commander Fiat died in the basement, but Wright was missing, he must have something to do with Holinqiaoton, he was worried, can he take revenge? He knew that James was stationed here by Huolingqiaoton, and should be related to him, if he did not take revenge, he could not serve the public; if he took revenge, he would be an enemy of Huolingqiaoton, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Burketown, and in addition, James was friendly with Rose of the Order, maybe the Orderlies also participated in it.
He thought about it again and again, first collected the corpse, and used the funeral as an excuse to observe first, how did Holred die, how did Witter Frye and Malmo react, the two of them were not like themselves, and their lives were even more sad.
The strategy adopted by Wilbur had to be said to be appropriate, and he also sent people to monitor the movements of the office and the orderlies in Holinqiaoton, but unfortunately, Wilbur did not know that he was doomed to defeat.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and the people who sent to monitor had died in an alley, and at the same time there were two small gangs of people who died, the scene was miserable, the body was broken into several pieces, and it seemed to be divided by a sharp blade, but he faintly felt that it was not a sharp blade, he thought of Rose, and his face was cloudy.
At this moment, the orderlies sent someone over and said only a few words: "The orderlies have nothing to do with this matter, James was dead last night, and Wright was rescued by Holingbridgeton, there were five or six people on the other side, in the office of Holingqiaoton." β
Wilbur understood, he thanked the passer, turned his head, his eyes were a little more tragic, and slowly but firmly gave the order: "Assemble!" (to be continued......
