Laura and I were shocked to hear the news of Sok Olvia's death.
I quickly asked: "What on earth is going on?"
The clerk said sadly: "After the conversation with you two yesterday, some time later, I heard a voice coming from his study. As usual, I needed to arrange for Lord Sok to rest, but he kept writing behind the desk.
What, let me go and rest first. When I went back this morning, I found that he was dead, and I found something on his desk, so I can only give it to you two."
After saying that, the secretary took out a letter. There were speckled blood stains on the envelope, which seemed to have been left last night.
Laura and I were led by the secretary to the inner room behind the Lord's Hall, and opened the envelope. The letter read:
"Dear Miss Laura Hurley and Mr. Henmer Cullinan, I'm sorry that I can only say goodbye to you in this letter. What happened tonight is not something you can solve now. I hope you can protect yourself, Evil Mage
Their strength is far superior to yours, and their actions are insidious and vicious, and their methods are cruel beyond your imagination. Henmo, please allow me to call you this, I'm sorry that I can't help you find what you lost, but I already have
After doing some research, I gave you the two books and notes that I read with you yesterday in the study room. They contain some of my whimsical ideas, which I hope can come in handy. In addition, please inform the clerk that I have
The position of lord of Mount Olvia has been removed. From now on, Mount Olvia will no longer be a fiefdom of the kingdom, but just an ordinary manor. Ask him to take care of it. He will agree to any of your requests and the three of you will jointly own it.
Make good use of this property. Finally, I hope you can grow up safely, and the Olvia family wishes you the best.--Sock Olvia"
After reading the letter, Laura was already sobbing non-stop. After I handed the letter to the clerk to read, the clerk nodded with tears in his eyes. Then, the clerk summoned the nobles and announced the news about Olvi.
Ashan's decision for the future. Most of the nobles were protected by the Deserted Magician Group, so they had no objections. After a small number of nobles made a loud noise, they decided to leave Olvia Mountain and live in other parts of the kingdom.
After the arrangements were completed, the clerk ordered the guards to be on strict alert. Then he took us to the study. The study was untouched. Sok Olvia was leaning on the large chair, with a peaceful expression, as if he was asleep.
.
Laura finally couldn't help but cry softly. I held back the pain and bowed deeply to Sok Olvia. After the clerk helped Laura sit down, he said to me: "Mr. Henmo
, this study has not been moved at all, I think something is fishy, so I am waiting for you to come and check. In addition, I have sent a search team to Richards' place to search, and the entire mountain has been sealed tightly. I believe there will be news soon.
"
"Thank you. I want you to arrange for Miss Laura to go back first. I need to check this study as soon as possible. In addition, please arrange for someone to guard Jonathan's body and seal the dungeon tightly. I will check it later."
After the clerk agreed, he immediately took Laura away and went to make arrangements. I slowly checked in the study room. The fatal injury on Sok's body should be a huge wound on the chest. The edge was covered with blood. I will
After gently wiping away the blood, it was found that the cut surfaces around the wound were neat. It must have been penetrated by an extremely sharp weapon, and he died of excessive blood loss. He also wrote the letter before his death.
I recognized this wound at a glance as it should have been caused by the Wind Knife, and it was only one of them, the Evil Mage Legion, who could seriously injure the powerful Sok Olvia to death.
I closed my eyes and felt it. The elements in the study were flowing in an orderly manner. Only Sok's wound left a little disturbance from the gathering of wind elements. It seemed that my uncle and I died under the same spell.
Sock told me in his suicide note that he already had an idea about a way for me to regain my elemental control power, but what exactly was it?
By the way, there are a few books he gave us. After rummaging around, I finally found the two books we read last night, a notebook and two cowhide scrolls. These things were simply wrapped in a piece of silk.
There are also some blood stains on the silk handkerchief. It seems that these books and letters were sorted out by Sock Olvia in a hurry after being injured.
I checked other places in the study and found nothing suspicious. After exiting the study, I rushed to the dungeon. In the dungeon, the bodies of the guards were lying on the ground. Most of them had cuts on their necks.
He was killed in one blow and the key was missing. The murderer probably took it away and opened the dungeon door.
Jonathan was still lying in the dungeon, with a metal rod piercing his chest, hanging on the wall like a pile of rotten meat, his eyes wide open. It seemed that the evil mage and his minions did not want to take Jonathan in, but only took him away.
Richards. He was seduced by Richards and went astray, and now he dies alone in prison. It can only be said to be a punishment from God.
After I inspected several scenes, I returned to the Lord's Hall. Laura and the clerk had been waiting in the hall for a long time. After I briefly informed the inspection situation, the clerk said with a pale face: "Mr. Henmer, Miss Laura
, there is something I don’t know whether to say or not.”
"It's okay, please tell me."
"Actually, the Evil Mage Legion came to Mount Olvia several times many years ago. The first time was to persuade Lord Sok to cooperate. The next two or three times, they tried to attack Mount Olvia, but were led by Lord Sok.
They were forced to fight back the Desolation Magician Group. Now this time, could it be that they took advantage of the internal strife in Olvia Mountain to take advantage of it?" When the secretary said this, his face was pale. Perhaps, those attacks really gave him a false impression.
He brought quite a shadow.
I thought for a moment, shook my head and said, "If I came here to take advantage of the opportunity a few times before, it's definitely not the case this time."
"Why?"
"Because I checked Sok Olvia's wounds and found that he was seriously injured by wind element magic, but Sok Olvia is not an ordinary person. Even though he is old, he can be seriously injured head-on.
There were not many people, let alone kill him. And so many research materials in the study were intact. I thought that the battle must not have happened in the study, but in other open areas, and far away from Olvia Mountain.
An open place. Otherwise there will be huge movement. I think the purpose of the Evil Mage Legion was to rescue Richards, and then was discovered by Sok Olvia. They could only take Richards and escape, Sok
·Olivia chased them to a distance. After a fierce battle, she was seriously injured. She came back and wrote the letter. I think when you last saw him writing, he had died of his injuries." My speculation.
Although there is no supporting evidence, it is the only reasonable explanation at the moment.
After discussing with me, the clerk decided to arrange the funeral of Sok Olvia and others first, because he was a person who did not understand magic, and the Desolation Magicians Group was handed over to me and Laura.
Although the news of the attack on Mount Olvia is currently blocked, rumors continue to spread. At this time, the safety and stability of Mount Olvia must first be ensured. To do this, the Desolation Magician Group must first be stabilized.
.
After discussing with me, Laura and I decided to temporarily take over this responsibility, but an in-depth investigation must be conducted on the evil mage. The first step is to take a good look at the books that Sok Olvia left me. Maybe I can
