Chapter 239: The Purpose of the Red Robe (Part II)
They were just trying to experiment with a new magic trick developed by their chief, just a magic experiment.
Yes, you read that right, such a stirring action, even provoking almost all the forces of the town to engage in strife, was only for the sake of a magic experiment by the great magician Penny Thean.
Penny, who is proficient in the necromantic faction, has recently successfully researched a very peculiar large-scale magic trick, but in the place where there are more monsters than normal people in the Special Zone, there is obviously no way to carry out large-scale experiments normally. And Banki, a small town that has a strong smell of gunpowder recently, but its own status is not very high, has become the preferred experimental field in Penny's heart.
As a result, Penny plans to take advantage of the fierce conflict between Daker and Titar in the western part of the kingdom to conduct an experiment in this town with enough samples to test.
Penny came here with a large number of elite subordinates from the faction, and through some exchange of interests, he obtained the right to share information near the illusion faction here. At the same time, through various interests or other methods, a large number of influential people in the class base were recruited.
At the chief's behest, the co-opted bigwigs carried out actions in Banji again and again that seemed to them to be very valuable. But in Penny's view, these petty fights were, at best, just attracting the attention of almost all the big players and buying time for their experiments.
As long as the experiments here are ready, then it's enough to start my magic experiments. I'm looking forward to what tomorrow will look like...... Penny is standing there. I thought expectantly.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps interrupted the reverie in the Chief Lord's mind, and Penny was brought back to reality from his full anticipation. Penny frowned, looking disapprenantly at the culprit who had interrupted his thoughts.
The owner of the footsteps was also a red-robed person, but compared to the red-robed people who sat around the campfire and meditated, it was obvious that the rank was much higher. The vast amount of magical power fluctuated around him, and although it looked chaotic, it was indeed very orderly.
Brilliant magical brilliance flickered wantonly, more conspicuous in the dark night than the bonfire on the other side. The red robes on his body were much more advanced than the others, and even ordinary people with no knowledge of magic could see the mystery contained in them.
But that's the one. A magician who can be admired and worshipped by a country in other places. In front of Penny at this time. Facing the dissatisfaction in his eyes that looked ordinary, he looked trembling.
The attitude of the low-voiced four was like that of a commoner facing a nobleman, respectful and humble with fear and flattery, with his scrawny and terrible appearance. There is no momentum of a high-level magician at all.
"What's the matter? Penny looked at the powerful red-robed. Asked casually. But the dissatisfaction in the tone was obvious. If his answer does not satisfy Penny, the Necromantic Chief's punishment will not hesitate to be inflicted on him.
But the magician, known as 'Kerr', was relieved, though still dissatisfied. But being able to give an explanation meant that 'Kerr' was out of danger, because he believed that the next news would definitely make His Excellency stop pursuing himself.
"Your Excellency, today's regular contact, Clenon's side did not come. 'Kerr' said.
Sure enough, with a simple sentence, the chief's face changed drastically in an instant. Then he threw aside the unhappiness just now, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then asked, "Have you investigated the cause?" Is it his own problem, or is it ......?"
Penny didn't finish what he said next, but 'Kerr' knew what he was going to say next. If it's his own problem, then he has to be held accountable, and if it's something else, then things need to be reconsidered again.
When Kerr learned of this, he had already sent someone to investigate. He was so surprised by the results that he reported to Penny truthfully: "Your Excellency, that's right. I've just sent someone to investigate, and the results of the investigation ......"
Penny interrupted dissatisfiedly: "Okay, don't sell it, just say it if you have something to say, what is the result?" Obviously very dissatisfied with the attitude of 'Kerr', now at this critical moment, he can't talk to the point, it's really not like words.
If it weren't for the fact that he was one of the few remaining Nine Ring magicians in the Necromantic faction, and he was also the second in the faction, Penny would have gone up with a 'Death Finger' and decisively killed him.
'In recent years, the necromantic faction has really withered in talent, and there are not many talents who can handle it. If it weren't for that, why would I bother here for a big magic trick that doesn't usually work? Penny looked at his men in front of him and thought hatefully.
That's right, this powerful magician known as 'Kerr' is the second seat of the Necromantic faction - Kel'thugad. However, the huge gap in rank made him, a big man who is a strong man everywhere, extremely humble in front of the monster Penny, and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.
After being reprimanded by Penny, Kel'thugad involuntarily trembled, not daring to have any rebuttal, and he continued in a trembling tone: "Yes...... That's right, although there have been no reports of anything wrong in the tavern these days, but after my men went to look at it, they found that Clenon, who was now entertaining guests in the tavern, did not feel like a living person at all, but more like a moving corpse. ”
"Moving corpses? Penny, who was well-versed in the Necromantic faction, blurted out, and he judged with great certainty.
"As it stands, it's very much in line with your judgment. Kel'thugad confirmed the chief's guess.
"That waste has been dead for a few days. Penny asked. He didn't care at all about the low-level magician who had been equated with waste in his mind, but there was a lot of interest in his tone, in the magician who killed and manipulated it.
"Judging by the mana reaction and the corpse, it's been at least three days or more. Kel'thugad replied.
Penny didn't show any sadness when he heard this, but was a little happy, like a child who had discovered a novel toy, chuckled and praised: "Hehe, to be able to stick to the natural action for so many days just by relying on a four-ring magic trick, it seems that it is a very talented child who does it!"
