Chapter 111 Investigation
"Let's check it out first, maybe you can find some clues." After a while, Enzo spoke.
Then, the convoy entered Yangjiao Village.
After the small village burned by the fire, it was full of scorched earth at this moment. In the collapsed ruins, you can vaguely see the broken bones of some villagers.
"Three months ago, Yangjiao Village experienced a death incident." As they moved forward, Orlandon said, ": More than 3,000 people in the village died quietly in their sleep. No scars were found from them."
"I received the news that when I arrived here, I could clearly feel the residual energy fluctuations around me!"
"Energy fluctuations?" Enzo raised his eyebrows and asked, ": Have you found the source?"
"I'm sorry, not." Orlandon shook his head and sighed, ": The energy fluctuations were very strong at that time, and I dared not act rashly. In the following time, the energy fluctuations became weaker and weaker, and I couldn't find the root cause."
"Chip, scan the surroundings." Enzo said calmly, and ordered in his heart.
"Ding! During the scan...there was detected light radiation energy around it." The mechanical sound rang out, and the chip gave an answer, but Enzo frowned slightly.
"Is it really that some kind of energy exploded in Yangjiao Village, causing all the villagers to die?" Enzo's eyes flashed with thoughts and asked in his heart, "Chip, how strong is the detected energy? What will happen to the human body bear?"
"In the analysis... the radiation energy contained in the air will gradually become weak for a long time, which may eventually lead to death. The host has magic power and can automatically generate resistance."
"The wizard can resist, but the mortals cannot bear it." Enzo stroked his chin and thought, ": What will it be?"
"Since we are going to investigate here, why don't we take action separately." When we arrived at the central area of Yangkoo Village, Orlandon suggested, ": This is the speed that can be faster."
"Okay, okay." Enzo thought slightly and nodded.
Then, the convoy separated, Orlandon ordered the cavalry to investigate the north, and he went to the west, while Enzo and Dias walked towards the east and south sides respectively.
Separated from Orlandon, Enzo can act more freely.
"Radiation energy can kill ordinary people, but it often takes a long process." Enzo walked forward and looked around the scene, thinking, ": The death in Yangjiao Village happened overnight, and it was not caused by radiation energy no matter how you look at it."
Walking into a collapsed house, Enzo squatted down next to a scorched corpse.
"The body was burned by the flames and there was no clue." He reached out and grabbed a ball of ashes and murmured, ": The timing of this fire was too coincidental, it could not have been an accident."
"What the hell is Orlandon covering up?" Enzo's eyes flashed.
Standing up, he continued to inspect the surrounding houses, trying to detect some useful information with chips, but due to the fire, all traces related to the strange event had been erased.
A morning passed and Enzo got nothing.
"Ding! A trace of soul energy was found 100 meters ahead." The mechanical voice suddenly sounded, and Enzo raised his head and saw that there was a rock tower standing not far ahead.
It was the tallest building in Yangjiao Village, but it did not collapse after being baptized by the fire.
"Soul energy traces? Are there places where the undead have appeared?" Enzo's eyes flashed and he planned to go forward to check.
And at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the north side of Yangjiao Village.
Enzo looked shaking and rushed over immediately.
Arriving quickly to the place where the shouting was heard, Orlandon had arrived in advance. Surrounded by a group of cavalry, there was a big tree whose crown had already withered, but its gray trunk was extremely thick.
"Sir, we discovered this place when we investigated just now."
A cavalry bent and said to Orlandon, "The fire spread to Yamakot Village, everything was burned, but the tree was safe and sound."
"Yeah, something is indeed wrong." Orlandon nodded slightly, and his light swept towards Enzo.
"Chip, test!" Enzo took a step forward and turned his attention to the big tree.
"Ding! Energy radiation is found ahead..."
"You guys, dig up this tree." Before Enzo could speak, Orlandon had already ordered the cavalry to take action, and found tools and began to dig under the tree.
A large amount of soil was dug up, revealing the roots and stems that were rooted under the trees.
"Sir, I found an ore!" Half an hour later, as the cavalry excavated, a cold smell gradually emanated from the big tree, and a piece of blue ore the size of a skull was dug out.
"This is...tungsten energy stone!" Orlandon exclaimed.
Enzo's eyes moved and he searched for information about tungsten energy stone in his heart.
According to the data recorded by the chip, tungsten spirit is a radioactive mineral that in some special circumstances, it releases its own energy to the surrounding area and produces certain energy fluctuations.
"The deaths in Yangjiao Village are all because of this tungsten stone?" Enzo murmured to himself.
"It seems that it's because of this thing!" Orlandon took the tungsten stone presented by the Knight and smiled bitterly, ": This kind of ore is not common in ordinary people, and is usually used by wizards to do experiments."
Enzo lowered his head and said nothing, but a gloss of thought flashed in his eyes.
"I'm so lucky. I discovered this on the first day of investigation." After a moment, he raised his head and chuckled, ": Can Senior Orlandon hand me the tungsten stone as a certificate of this mission."
"Of course there is no problem." Orlandon nodded quickly and said with a smile, ": My junior is hereby order from the college to investigate the death in Yangjiao Village. Now that the cause has been found out, we naturally have to submit the mission certificate!"
"Then thank you senior." Enzo nodded and thanked.
A hint of joy flashed in Orlandon's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the tungsten stone in his hand to Enzo, and then ordered the cavalry to return to Snowhoof City.
After a morning of investigation, the tungsten energy stone was successfully found.
The cause of the death in Yamagoon Village seemed to be found out like this. Orlandon and Enzo returned to Snowhoof Castle. After Enzo proposed to write an investigation report, he returned to his room.
"Tungsten Stone? Hum!" In the room, Enzo played with the blue ore in his hand and sneered, ": In order to fool me, Orlandon really put a lot of effort into it."
"If I had no chip, I'm afraid I might have believed his nonsense!"
According to the information recorded by the chip, tungsten spirit is indeed a radioactive mineral, but the energy it can generate can kill at most some poultry such as chickens and ducks, which is impossible to cause the collective death of 3,000 people in Yamao Village.
"Do you really want to mislead me by using tungsten energy stone to cover up the matter?"
Enzo narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
