After leaving No. 44 Red Rose Street and sitting on the carriage returning, Liam received a letter to investigate the Haowog Orphanage. The person who came was Andrew, who had gone overnight.
Nocas lowered the curtain and looked at the young man opposite with a worried expression.
Liam knew what Du was going to say, "Andrew is one of our own and can be trusted."
Although Nocas still had concerns in his heart, he did not show it. He was very clear about his position. As a tool, his only function was to perform the master's task. Tools do not need to think.
"You look for an opportunity to recruit Nocas into the religion, and the two of you work together to rectify the 'Dragon Tooth Knights' and eliminate the dishonest people one by one." After Liam finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent the other party out.
Nocas bowed respectfully and slowly exited the carriage.
Only then did Liam open the envelope, take out the blood-stained letter, stretch it out and read it.
As he watched, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and his eyes became colder and harsher.
Flames emerged from the palm, instantly igniting the paper and burning the envelope to ashes.
"Huh." Liam exhaled and cast a level 2 magic "Calm down" on himself, and then his emotions calmed down.
Liam felt like he was in the center of a whirlpool, with countless information pouring in from all directions. The information was chaotic and disjointed. You could understand it if you picked it out at random, but when combined together it was extremely obscure.
"The situation is becoming more and more complicated. We need to solve the immediate trouble as soon as possible."
Liam opened the curtain and ordered Nocas, who was the groom, "Tell Andrew to come see me immediately."
Nocas was startled, then nodded in agreement.
Liam sat back in the car, closed his eyes, and thought of the contents of the letter.
It was a letter that described the ruins of Haowog in detail. It described the details of the ruins in detail, and boldly speculated on the scene when the disaster occurred, as well as the ability and identity of the murderer. More importantly, this letter was in
At the end, it is explained why Mira was dismembered, the location of her body, and the reason why the missing person may be a woman.
"Sacrifice..." Liam opened his eyes and wrote at the end of the letter, "The girl's body was divided into five parts. Her head was facing the ruins, her legs were facing the road of life, her hands were embracing death, and her body was lying horizontally.
At the feet. In the Franklin family of the Northern Continent, this way of death is to sacrifice to the evil god in the deepest part of the abyss. And the missing person is most likely a pure woman, because in the ritual, a pure woman is needed at the end.
The blood summons the demon."
Liam still remembers the first time he saw Jiao Li through the "curtain". There was a faint white color on her body. This color of energy has only been seen on Jiao Li so far.
The curtain was opened, and a muscular man wearing silver armor walked in.
"Sir, you are looking for me." Andrew was straight-tempered and spoke directly.
"Andrew, who else went to Havog with you last night?" Liam asked directly without mincing words.
Andrew thought for a moment with his not-so-smart brain, "In addition to me and a few brothers from the Knights, there is also a drunken short old man."
"Short old man?" Liam noticed the strangeness, "Why did you bring a short old man with you?"
Andrew showed an expression of being wronged and explained: "Sir, that old man stopped us on the road at first and insisted on taking him with us. We refused and warned him to get away, but the old man didn't follow. It's strange.
What's strange is that when we arrived at Haowog, the old man suddenly appeared behind us."
"The old man didn't come with us. He just wandered around the ruins and asked a few of us to follow him, saying he could find clues to the survivors."
The more Liam listened, the more he felt there was something fishy inside. Who was this short old man and why did he get involved?
"and after."
"The old man took us to find a female body that had been dismembered. He buried the female body and then wrote a letter for me to hand over to the Lord."
"that's it?"
"He finally said that your wine is good."
"The wine is good..." Liam chewed on these words and immediately thought of a place.
"There is another strange thing, sir. After the round trip, two horses died mysteriously. Their internal organs seemed to have been eaten by insects." Andrew said at last.
"The internal organs of the horse were eaten by bugs?" Liam knew that the knights' horses were carefully selected and there was absolutely no problem with their health.
What kind of insect can hollow out a strong horse, and it's two horses, and the time between them is too short.
"Black magic..." Liam vaguely captured the method used by the short old man. He did not know the location of the Hovoger Orphanage, so he intercepted Andrew halfway. The old man did not expect the other party to pick him up, because
He could get into the horses' bellies and go with them.
When he came back, he got into the belly of another horse and followed Andrew back to the restaurant.
Thinking of this, Liam's expression became solemn, and it was really a wave of ups and downs.
"Andrew, you go back to the inn to rest first."
"Sir, you..."
"I'm going back to the restaurant to meet these uninvited guests."
The methods used by the other party are definitely not something that a level 2 knight attendant like Andrew can resist. The other members of the "Dragon Tooth Knights" are ordinary people. Going there is tantamount to dying. Rather than doing this, it is better to go in person. At least there are
hope.
Thinking of this, Liam looked at the ring on his right hand. It was a ring inlaid with gray stones, given by Michelle before leaving.
"I hope this cursed object will not disappoint." Liam secretly prayed in his heart.
A group of people escorted the carriage and passed a crossroads. Andrew, who was traveling with them, separated and the carriage drove to the restaurant alone.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Nocas's voice came from outside.
"Sir, we are here."
Liam stood up and turned to look.
The curtain has been opened by Nocas, and from the carriage you can directly see the closed courtyard at the back door.
"Nocas, you go and meet Andrew first."
"Sir, where are you?" Nocas was very surprised. The stronghold was right in front of him, so why did he have to go elsewhere?
"As a host, of course I have to personally greet the distinguished guests." Liam got off the carriage and walked toward the closed door alone, feeling a cold touch on his left hand.
Happy slipped out of the sleeves and landed on Liam's palm. Its empty eyes stared at the quiet restaurant, and it made a clicking sound from its mouth.
"Oh, do you want me to show off a little bit?" Liam was a little surprised by Little Happy's suggestion, but then he was convinced that since the other party said this, it meant that this trip was not that dangerous.
At the very least, it's not to the level of using the "Twilight Ring".
He raised his hand and pressed it on the door. With a little force, the door opened silently.
At the same time, Liam quietly opened a slit in the cover of the "Demon Sealing Reversal Ritual", and the invisible black arrogance suddenly enveloped the whole person.
What caught his sight was an old man with a stooped body, shabby clothes, and gray hair. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and was blind in one eye. When he spoke, he found that most of his teeth had been lost.
"Your breath is unique. Your humble servant, Larry Clow, is here to welcome the great descendant of Death."
The old man named Larry knelt on the ground and kowtowed in greeting.
The "curtain" of Liam's right eye activated silently, and the aura on the other person's body was clearly visible. It was a rich spiritual aura intertwined with black and gray. The black tombstone on the aura contained withered palms and dirty maggots.
"The Lich Mage..." Liam immediately understood that the person in front of him was a lonely soul walking between death and resurrection.
