night.
The hustle and bustle of the day ends and the tranquility of the night descends. Although there were a lot of secret activities in some corners, the street where the Golden Wine Cup Inn was located was as quiet as a cemetery.
The death of a wizard apprentice from the mainland is definitely not a small matter. No one dares to ignore it, but they don't know how to deal with it.
To catch the murderer of the wizard's apprentice
Wake up, even powerful wizard apprentices can be killed and turned into stone statues. Do you really want to catch them? Do you think there are too few lifelike stone statues in this world
The officials of Cuijin City considered various reasons and finally adopted a cautious and conservative attitude. They blocked the entire street where the Golden Wine Cup Inn is located, and prepared to wait until the people from the White Stone Tower arrived to solve the problem themselves.
As a result, the entire street that was supposed to be the bustling Golden Wine Glass Inn became extremely deserted.
In this coldness, the sound of undetectable footsteps could be heard.
"Da da da… "
Richard appeared in front of the Golden Wine Cup Inn, gently opened the door and walked in, ready to investigate some situations.
Richard knew that if he asked Glo, Glo would definitely find a way to open the entire Golden Wine Cup Hotel for him to investigate, but he didn't want to do that.
Because this exposes oneself too much.
When investigating this kind of behavior, it is better to be more secretive, so as not to be noticed by Whitestone Tower or other potential people. It's better to take advantage of the dark night and come over to investigate alone, where it's quiet and you won't be disturbed.
"Da da da… "
Richard walked up to the second floor of the hotel, walked along the corridor to the end, opened the door and walked into the room where the dead Wall was.
In the room, the stone statue transformed by Wall stood on the ground, motionless, like a huge source of fear. No ordinary person dared to approach the entire hotel and even the entire street that had been sealed off.
But Richard was not afraid.
People are often more afraid of the dead than the living, but out of reason, Richard will not be affected by this.
If it were a living Wall, Richard might be a little wary, but a dead Wall that turned into a stone statue would only have research value.
With a "pop" sound, Richard flicked his fingers, and the "Ghost Hand Fire" was released. A ball of oil-green fire the size of an egg appeared at his fingertips, illuminating the surrounding area.
Holding the firelight, Richard stepped closer to the stone statue and began to observe. He could clearly see every detail on the stone statue. After observing for a moment, Richard discovered that the entire stone statue was truly lifelike, almost perfectly restoring all of Wall's features, whether it was hair, nose or eyes. The only difference is that these parts are now made of stone.
"Has it really turned into stone?" Richard's eyes flashed and he murmured to himself, "Then what is the principle? The transformation of elements? Or is it the infusion of some special energy, and biological cells? Produce a specific reaction that causes the flesh to rapidly harden into a stone-like state
If the latter, is the reaction reversible? Is it possible to turn the body into stone-like substance and then turn the stone-like substance back into flesh? If it can be done, will it be possible to adapt to complex environments through flexible transformation during combat? "
"But..." Richard raised his eyebrows, "If you want to really analyze the principle of this spell, it will obviously take a lot of time. It is better to study it slowly later. Rather than analyzing the spell now, it is better to figure it out. Something happened in this room."
As he spoke, the oil-green flames on Richard's fingers rapidly expanded in size, becoming the size of a human head, illuminating a larger area in the room, and numerous furnishings and scenes appeared:
Wrinkled blankets, cracked ground, stains of blood...
Richard looked at it carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the wrinkled blanket with the most marks. His brain worked quickly, trying to restore the previous situation.
"According to the appearance of the blanket, Mr. Wall, the third-level apprentice of the White Stone Tower, should have performed some kind of enjoyment on it for a long time during his lifetime. Then he stood up. Well, then he turned around suddenly and used a lot of force. , which tore off a lot of hair on the blanket. After that, he should have stood for a while, either talking, or launching a spell attack from a stance."
"In this case, the enemy he wants to face should be in this direction." Richard imagined Wall's state at that time, looked in a certain direction in the room, walked towards it, stared at the ground, and then found something on the ground. A microscopic, black powdery substance.
"Huh? Are you really standing here..." Richard squinted and said to himself, "But what is the powder? Spell-casting material? Or is it the trace left by releasing some kind of spell?"
Richard pursed his lips, thought for a moment, took out a glass bottle from the iron ring, squatted down and carefully collected the powder into it, then put a label on it and wrote "Emerald City - Golden Wine Cup Hotel - S Incident - No. 1 " handwriting.
After collecting the powder, Richard stood up, looked at the imaginary position of Hua Er, and then moved his eyes to look at the wooden window in the room.
"If after the test, Wall finds that the enemy is too strong and unable to fight, then he will most likely try to escape. The nearest location is the wooden window." Richard quickly walked to the wooden window and checked the wooden window and found nothing. Any signs of damage.
"So, Wall didn't try to escape. Or, in other words, his escape failed and he was stopped before breaking through the wooden window. After being stopped, he fell here because of too much force. , directly cracking part of the ground." Richard took a step, stepped back from the wooden window, and looked at the cracked ground near the stone statue.
"Then Hua Er tried to stand up, but due to injury or some reason, he knelt forward." Richard glanced at the blood on the ground, and then his eyes fell on the stone statue. "At this time, his enemy should be Stay where you are and cast the spell, or come over... Well, I should have walked over."
Richard saw the black powder he had found on the ground near the statue again, and guessed, "So, he came over and then released the spell. After turning Hua Er into a stone statue, he used the same method as when he appeared to leave. go."
Squatting down, Richard collected the black powder found on the ground again into a glass bottle, put a label on it, and wrote "Emerald City - Golden Wine Cup Hotel - S Incident - No. 2 Product".
After getting up, Richard looked around the entire hotel and said: "If there was no accident, the battle only lasted a short time, or it did not happen at all, so it did not cause obvious damage to the decoration of the room. In this case, Wall The enemy should be very powerful and have the advantage of being crushed, at least at the official wizard level.
Based on the previous information from Gro, it is speculated that this existence, which is at least an official wizard level, is deliberately retaliating against the White Stone Tower. As a member of the White Stone Tower, Wall was naturally poisoned. But what is the reason for revenge? How did White Rock Tower offend the other party? "
Richard muttered to himself, walked to the wooden window of the room, gently opened the wooden window, tried to get some air, relax his brain, and diffuse some thoughts.
But the moment he opened the wooden window and glanced at the scene outside the window, Richard's muscles all over his body tensed up.
I saw a man in black robe standing quietly outside the window and on top of the double-storey shop across the street, looking at him quietly with a pair of eyes burning with oily green flames.
In an instant, their eyes met, the air froze, and the tense atmosphere reached its peak without any brewing.
