With the absolute disparity in strength, little tricks would have no effect at all.
The main reason is that Cross is still too weak and can't even resist an ice ring spell. If it were Hawke and Link, the ice ring technique could only affect their movements to a certain extent, and it would be impossible to keep them in place.
At most it would just slow them down.
After being stunned for a while, Roland summoned two mage hands, grabbed the Cross ice sculpture, and carried it back all the way.
Exiting the jungle, walking through the city gate, through the bustling streets, and finally back to the Magic Tower Square.
Along the way, when everyone saw this human-shaped ice sculpture, they were so scared that they hid aside. The timid woman even covered her eyes with her hands, not daring to look around.
No one came to trouble Roland. Even the guards at the city gate did not dare to trouble Roland when they saw a corpse. They just took two steps back pretending to be nonchalant.
Cross is also a somewhat famous person in Delbon City. After all, he is also responsible for many of the external work of the Magic Tower.
Now seeing his ice corpse being carried away by Roland, many people were surprised and began to pass on the news to their acquaintances.
By the time Roland returned to Magic Square, important forces and organizations already knew that magic apprentice Cross was dead, suspected to be at the hands of Roland.
Arriving at the entrance of the magic tower, the two guards looked at Cross floating in the air, looking at his obviously dead appearance. They were surprised at first, and then lowered their heads.
They feel like they don’t know anything and don’t dare to ask.
Roland entered the magic tower and said, "Close the door. No one else is allowed in or out except for those related to the magic tower."
The two guards immediately went over and closed the heavy stone door, and they took the initiative to stand outside to help guard.
They dare not stay in the magic tower anymore.
Roland continued to hold Cross's ice corpse and went up to the second floor, just in time to see Vivian walking down the stairs with two new little magic apprentices.
Vivian first beamed with joy when she saw Roland, and then she saw Cross, wondering how this man was caught in the air. Then she suddenly turned pale in fright and covered her mouth with both hands.
She couldn't feel Cross' mental energy and was obviously dead.
The two young magic apprentices were from gangster backgrounds and were no strangers to the dead. The two of them looked at Cross for a while and then hid timidly behind Vivian.
Roland carefully put Cross's body down and straightened it.
Ice magic is not easy to dissipate. At this time, Cross still maintained his previous movements, so he could stand up easily.
"Ring the golden bell and gather everyone."
Roland's tone was a little low and a little sad.
Vivian put down her hands covering this, walked to the table, and rang the golden bell on it.
A crisp tinkling sound sounded. Vivian glanced at Cross's body and saw the struggle and fear on the latter's face, which made her feel a little sad.
Although Cross didn't have a very good relationship with her, she still felt a little uncomfortable when such an acquaintance died.
Soon the magic apprentices came out of their rooms or the magic laboratory one after another.
They were all shocked when they saw Cross's body, and some of them even cursed, saying that someone dared to bully the Magic Tower.
Roland ignored them and just stood quietly.
Soon all the magic apprentices were gathered together. They were already angrily clamoring for revenge, but when they saw Roland standing quietly with an expression as calm as the well water, the clamor slowly subsided, and finally Become completely silent.
Vivian and her two little magic apprentices also walked into the queue of magic apprentices.
Roland's eyes swept across the magic apprentices. Everyone was there, including Jerry, who was visiting his grandchildren.
"As you can see, Cross is dead."
No one had much reaction at this time.
Then Roland added: "I killed him."
There was a roar, like an explosion, sounds of surprise, and the sound of sucking cold air, one after another, and then everyone began to whisper to each other.
But soon they became quiet again, looking at Roland intently, wanting to hear his explanation.
In the eyes of all magic apprentices, Roland is a very kind and considerate person. If he really kills someone, there must be a legitimate reason.
"You should know that I have been investigating the missing girl case before." Roland looked at everyone and paused for a moment.
Vivian glanced at the Cross ice sculpture, and then asked: "Is he the murderer?"
"It's him." Roland nodded, and then said with some discomfort: "If possible, I don't want it to be an acquaintance of mine."
Everyone was silent. Although Cross was not a particularly outstanding or talented person, watching an acquaintance die was not a happy thing after all.
"Are you 100% sure it's him?" Vivian asked timidly.
In fact, she was not questioning Roland, but using this method to give Roland a "flattering eye" and create an atmosphere and reason for Roland to continue talking.
So Roland told all the things he had investigated during this period, including Cross's plan to divert trouble and the embarrassing things about how he almost fell into the trap.
"He is a very smart man, but it's a pity that his brain is not used on the right path. If he can stop, I will only doubt him at most. If I can't find any evidence, I won't touch him." Roland sighed: "I will stop him. Ross's body was brought back just to tell you. Even if you don't want to be a good person, don't do bad things and don't be a bad person. A large number of Golden Sons, including me, like people like Cross who have no bottom line in doing things, because he It will give us an excuse when we kill people. We will not let our hearts be condemned."
All the magic apprentices were sweating on their foreheads.
Especially the two little magic apprentices looked at Roland with both fear and admiration.
"Jerry, go and notify Cross's family and ask them to come and claim the body. If possible, ask their head of the family to come and talk to me."
The gray-haired Jerry immediately replied: "I understand, I'll do it right away, Vice President."
At this time, it was in a mountain col that was a hundred kilometers away.
Beta found a mountain spring water, parked the carriage nearby, then took out the tableware from the space backpack, and then took out the black wolf steak that had just been baked, and started grilling it.
The little maid Lisa was doing other chores on the side.
Beta was brushing the spices on the steak. Just when he was happy, he was suddenly stunned. After a pause of about ten seconds, he turned to the little maid behind and said, "Lisa, the murderer who bullied you has been found."
Lisa's face turned pale, showing a look of fear. What happened that day was too terrible for her. She was silent for a while, then asked with a bit of resentment in her eyes: "Who is it?"
She knew that her master had special abilities and seemed to be able to talk to other Golden Sons from a distance.
"Cross, the magic apprentice of the magic tower."
As soon as these words came out, Lisa squatted on the ground blankly. Roland was the vice president. Since the murderer was from the Magic Tower, it was impossible to kill Roland, at least that was what Lisa thought.
Moreover, Roland was kind to her, and she didn't want to force Roland to kill Cross. After all, she was a little maid who knew how to repay kindness and know how to advance and retreat.
But Beta continued: "Brother Roland has frozen Cross into an ice sculpture. Now that he is dead, you can feel at ease in the future."
After being stunned for two or three seconds, Lisa's eyes showed a bright light.
The whole face seemed to be shining with joy.
