The night was getting deeper and the banquet was coming to an end. Just as the guests were saying goodbye to each other, a dazzling white light shot straight into the sky, then exploded and turned into countless scattered light rains. Violent magic fluctuations instantly spread throughout the city. An Fei, Susanna and Alice all changed their expressions at the same time, and the guests were all whispering. It was obvious that it was a magical signal with unknown meaning.
"Everyone, be quiet." Alice said loudly. Yolande wanted stability, and she also wanted stability. She didn't want to ruin the harmonious atmosphere for anything.
"Suzanne, you stay to protect Alice." An Fei lowered his voice, and then walked out calmly and unhurriedly.
Susanna opened her mouth to say something, but An Fei was already gone, and she sighed helplessly. The content that can be expressed using magic signals to convey information is very limited. There are several types of magic signals in the major alliances. Red means extremely critical, and white means that the enemy has been found and someone has been sacrificed.
When the guards guarding the door saw An Fei coming out, they all straightened up their chests. Unexpectedly, An Fei's figure suddenly turned into countless afterimages, shooting past them, and the strong wind blew them away. Each and every one of them was swaying around, and had to release their fighting spirit before they could barely stand firm.
The thick smell of blood was everywhere, and more than thirty mercenaries in the entire courtyard were killed. This was not terrible. What was terrible was that no one noticed it. It was not until Ye brought people to interrogate the prisoners that they discovered it. This place has become a dead place.
After Ye sent the signal, Anthony was the first person to arrive. He happened to be in charge of security today, and at this moment, both of them looked very ugly.
A sound like muffled thunder rolled from a distance. Then they saw An Fei flying along low altitude. When he was about to rush forward, An Fei raised his hand and released an earth wall technique. He stepped hard on the earth wall with his toes. The place he hit collapsed instantly. An Fei's figure slowed down and turned upside down in the air. Falling gently in the yard.
An Fei glanced around and whispered: "How many people died?" He did not ask about the enemy's whereabouts. When he rushed out from Alice, he had already released his mental power. The entire city was within his sensing range, including Ye who was inspecting the deceased, and Anthony who was sprinting on the street. He did not find anything unusual, and Ye stayed there all the time. At the scene, it proved to be the same as myself.
"There are thirty-three brothers in total." Ye is a person who doesn't show his expression easily, but now his face is full of pain, because those who died are all his capable men.
"You were the first here?"
"Yes. I came to interrogate Julie, but I smelled blood from afar, and then..." Ye paused: "Sir, Julie was rescued!"
An Fei was stunned: "Take me to see it!"
The subway cage where Julie was originally held had been destroyed and was empty. There were six dead mercenaries in the room, although they were lying in different positions. But the wounds were all in the same place, and the throat was cut deeply!
There were blood stains everywhere on the floor and walls. An Fei stretched out his finger and stuck it on a little, twisting it gently with his fingertips. Although he was not a forensic doctor, he knew some common sense, such as inferring the time of murder from the viscosity of the blood. .
"There were eleven brothers sleeping in the back room. They were also killed." Ye whispered: "Those guys are too vicious!"
An Fei walked to the iron cage and gently touched the broken mark with his fingertips. Then he pulled out the long sword of the dead mercenary in front of him with his backhand, and with a very careful movement, he put the sword blade on the opponent's wound and moved it slowly. The blade sank into the wound little by little, and then the sword blade Sloping downward, the mercenary's wound was opened.
After carefully observing the wounds, An Fei walked to another corpse, inspected all six corpses, shook his head and said, "It should have been done by one person."
"A single person?" Ye was stunned: "Sir, it's impossible, right? There are more than thirty brothers here. If there is only one enemy, they can at least send out a magic signal!"
"Have other people's throats been cut too?" An Fei asked without answering.
"Yes."
An Fei lowered his head and got into the iron cage and glanced around. There were cut iron ropes and ropes on the ground, stained with blood, but judging from the color, they should have been there for a long time.
"Whose blood is on this?" An Fei asked softly.
"It's Julie's."
"She was seriously injured?"
"How should I say..." Ye hesitated: "It's very heavy."
"What is this for?" An Fei found two sharp iron tools under the iron rope, like nails that had been magnified dozens of times, and the blood stains on them had turned black.
"For fixing Julie."
"fixed?"
"Sir, anyway... it's just a torture tool." Ye said with a bitter smile.
"I understand." An Fei nodded: "Then tell me, can Julie walk freely now?"
"Absolutely not." Ye said categorically: "Both of her legs are disabled. Even if she takes care of them for decades, she will never be able to stand up, unless...she gets the help of the high priest."
"You came here to interrogate Julie? It's been so many days, haven't you asked for anything valuable?"
"Sir, you don't know how hard Julie's bones are." Ye said helplessly: "When she really couldn't stand it, she would just say a little bit. When I stopped and asked her, she didn't say anything. That's it. Over and over again, I couldn’t push too hard for fear of accidentally killing her.”
"At least you asked some questions, right? Show it to me."
Ye took out the scroll from the space ring and handed it to An Fei. The content on the scroll was not much, it was just a few sentences here and there, and it didn't make much sense. An Fei glanced at it and handed it back to Ye: " Ask your people to keep an eye on the city gate tomorrow. Julie’s legs are disabled, which is very inconvenient. It is possible to use a carriage. Don’t worry about those who come in, but you must carefully check those who go out.”
"Sir, if it is true as you said, the other party killed dozens of our brothers alone, he must be very powerful. Even if Julie cannot move, it is not difficult to take someone out of the city, right?"
"Would he carry someone out of the city on his back during the day?"
"Not during the day, but what about at night?"
"At night, all the lights on the city gates and walls will be extinguished, and everyone will be removed. No one will be left behind."
"Sir, did you let him escape on purpose? Then we will..."
"No, he doesn't dare to escape." An Fei smiled: "There are me, Susanna, and Anthony in the city, and there are teachers, Beeri, and Stig outside the city. Buzureano hasn't left yet. His strength No matter how strong he is, he can't fight against us, so he will be very careful in his actions. He doesn't seem to be alert at all at night, but he will not dare to leave."
"Sir, is he very careful? He killed so many of us in one breath!" Ye said with a bitter smile.
"Use your brain more, he killed so many of us... I can give you another explanation." An Fei said lightly: "Maybe, he hates us, and he has a deep relationship with Julie,"
"What do you mean..." Ye pondered for a moment: "Coming to save people regardless of danger proves that the relationship between them is very deep. It is precisely because of this that after seeing Julie or hearing something... he couldn't help but think of himself The anger was vented."
"Yes." An Fei said softly: "And... apart from our brothers, there is only one Julie in this place. His purpose is very clear, he is here to save people!"
"Sir, what should we do next?"
"Since he cares about Julie so much, it's easy to handle." An Fei paused: "First of all, we have to keep people in the city. Julie needs treatment. How many doctors, pharmacists, and priests are there in the city? We Don’t you know?”
"Sir, I will send out the men right now."
"No, the mercenaries in the inspectorate are very wild and it is easy for people to see their flaws." An Fei shook his head and said, "I already have someone selected."
A figure appeared in Ye's mind, and An Fei must have chosen Robert.
"Ye, clean up this place, and then... prepare to hold a funeral for them." An Fei pondered for a moment: "Go to Huiwei for pensions and other matters, remember, don't let the brothers feel disappointed." Although he rarely has direct contact For management matters, he chose to assign tasks to everyone, but he also had his own purpose, which was not to let people bleed or shed tears, so every time there was a casualty, he always had to give repeated instructions.
"I understand, sir." Ye nodded.
Anthony was still looking at the corpse in trance, and An Fei walked over slowly: "Lord Anthony, what did you see?"
"I have seen the same corpse before." Anthony looked at An Fei.
"Where? The mercenary country?"
"Yes." Anthony nodded: "But I was still very young at that time."
"What happened then?"
"It's been too long. I just remember walking back from the wild grassland with Chantrey and Davidson and passing by a mercenary camp. Because we were all young at the time and liked to make friends. We wanted to go and chat with the mercenaries there. Who I saw a whole camp full of dead people." Anthony said slowly: "The injuries of those mercenaries were exactly the same, their throats were cut off. The most surprising thing is that none of the mercenaries' belongings were lost. We even found them. A few magic crystals. Most of the people who kill people in the wild grassland are for money, not wealth...it's because of hatred. To be able to kill all the mercenaries in the entire camp, the hatred is too deep!"
An Fei couldn't help but frown. No matter what kind of society there are, there are people who are incompatible with the current civilization. They will always choose to hide. The so-called big hermits hide in the city, and the small ones hide in the woods. But whether they belong to the former or the latter, among them Many of them were capable men and strangers. Minos a long time ago was one of the terrifying representatives. He could look down upon the world after his death and make the people of the entire continent live in fear. According to what Anthony said, maybe the opponent is also a person who rarely performs except activities. This kind of person is a headache because without an intelligence source, it is difficult to understand the opponent, but the opponent can understand himself.
