"Boom!"
A big explosion with a destructive aura exploded in a corner of the dark forest gathering place, and the light it produced completely overwhelmed the rising sun that was about to emerge in the east.
The shock wave roared across the entire gathering place. If many wooden buildings had not been reinforced by wizards with magic, they would probably collapse. Even so, several nearby wooden buildings were shaken by the impact, with a large number of cracks appearing on their surfaces.
When everything calmed down, the three-story wooden building where Gu Luo originally lived had completely disappeared, leaving behind a huge pit nearly a hundred meters in diameter and dozens of meters deep.
Such movement naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the gathering place. After a brief period of calm, many wizards rushed towards the center of the explosion.
The first to arrive was a middle-aged male wizard named Van Helsing. The other person had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face was covered with stubble, and he was wearing a greasy brown robe. With a "bang", he almost fell to the ground in a "smashing" manner.
Standing up slowly, shaking the dust off his body, Fan Helsing looked around. The first thing he saw was the exaggerated pit, and then he saw the unconscious Richard not far from the edge of the pit.
At this time, Richard was lying on his back on the ground, with some burn marks on the clothes behind his back. He looked like he had been knocked to the ground and fainted by the impact of the explosion.
Van Helsing narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly stretched out a hand. The surrounding air surged in his hand, and the moisture condensed, turning into an ice cone that shone with cold light.
As soon as he raised his hand, Van Helsing threw the ice pick and shot it at Richard's neck.
At this moment, there was a "swipe" sound, and a wind blade passed by, accurately hitting Van Helsing's ice pick, shattering the ice pick into powder.
Van Helsing stared and looked away.
On one side, a thin wizard looked over and asked rudely: "Van Helsing, what do you want to do!"
This wizard was dressed slightly normally, his robes were a little old but very neat, and his face was not carefully taken care of but not sloppy. His name was Ti Feng, and he looked serious at this time.
Fan Helsing glanced at Ti Feng, but he didn't want to hide anything. He said coldly: "What do you think I will do? Of course I will kill this boy to avoid future troubles! You should have heard what Wan An said. This boy is a spy. If you encounter , why are you so polite!"
"You'd better calm down." Ti Feng spoke up, admonishing with some kindness, "Yes, I did hear Wan An say that this guy is a spy, but how do you explain the explosion just now and the big hole that appears now? Gu Where are Master Luo, Wan An, Philip and your good friend Al? Now the matter is not clear at all. If you do it casually and fall into the eyes of others, it is no different from killing someone with a guilty conscience. "
"Guilty?" Van Helsing's eyes widened slightly, "Why am I guilty! I never feel guilty when I do things. Let me tell you Ti Feng, although I have no evidence, but I am very sure that this boy is the same as Wan An said, he is a spy. He is in a coma now, so it would be easiest to kill him and get rid of him once and for all. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with it when he wakes up and gives himself excuses."
"This is not the reason for you to take action." Ti Feng said seriously, "Even if you really have to take action, you should not do it."
"Wordy!" Fan Helsing looked a little impatient and looked at Ti Feng and said, "Just tell me, do you have to be against me?"
"I don't want to go against you, but you must kill someone, so I'm sorry." Ti Feng said seriously.
"It's all nonsense!" Van Helsing became angry, staring at Ti Feng with his mouth open and breathing heavily, while Ti Feng looked at him without fear.
The atmosphere between the two quickly became tense. The mana fluctuations in the body had already emerged, and a battle would break out at any time.
At this moment, a majestic female voice sounded.
"Stop it!"
"brush!"
As the sound rang out, a figure appeared in the field, and many wizards kept coming behind her.
Van Helsing and Typhon looked at the approaching figure, their eyes flashed, and they said: "Master Eva!"
The other party is the nominal person in charge of the entire dark forest gathering place. Her name is Eva Windsor, a peak level two wizard. She was the one who stopped Richard and Wan An at the exchange meeting.
At this time, Eva looked at Van Helsing and Ty Feng, frowned and said: "What's going on! Until now, we haven't figured out what's going on, and you are planning to fight again? Do you think it's not chaotic enough?"
"Master Ewa, listen to me on this matter, this Richard must be killed..."
"Master Ewa, let me speak for you. I think people cannot be killed casually, otherwise..."
Van Helsing and Typhon rushed to explain.
However, Eva waved her hand and said: "You don't have to say anything, just take the person back. I will investigate this matter carefully and cannot handle it hastily!"
"But..." Van Helsing was a little unwilling.
However, Eva made the final decision: "That's it, there's nothing wrong with it!"
Fan Helsing: "..." I felt very unwilling, but I couldn't say anything else. I could only clench my fists and say harsh words in my heart.
…
In the blink of an eye, a few days later.
In the center of the gathering place, in the venue where the exchange meeting had been held, there were many seats arranged in a ring. There were wizards sitting on each seat, and it seemed that there were more people than there were in attendance at the exchange meeting.
At this time, all the sitting wizards looked at the center of the venue, surrounded by a man sitting on a wooden chair - Richard, with scrutinizing eyes.
This is a public trial.
The wizard Eva, who was sitting facing Richard, slowly stood up, looked at Richard, and said, "Richard Austin, right? You are a student of Master Gu Luo. Is that true?"
"yes."
"Then can you tell me about what you experienced when the big explosion happened a few days ago?" Eva asked, looking directly at Richard, a strange light flashed deep in her eyes, "I hope you don't have any Any reservations."
"Yes." Richard responded, looking very cooperative. Feeling the abnormal fluctuations coming from Eva, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: Mental spell? Trying to influence his consciousness and make him reveal the truth completely? The idea is good, but it is really used on the wrong target. With his current mental strength and the feather of judgment, at least the mental spells released by a third-level wizard can have a real impact on him. A second-level wizard Still a little worse.
"Let's start!" Eva said at this time.
"Okay." Richard nodded and started telling the story without hesitation the next moment. Well, no, he was recalling reality.
"That day… "
"Then… "
"after… "
"Finally, my teacher asked me to run out quickly and report the news to the people at the gathering place. But as soon as I left, the explosion happened. Then I fainted and didn't know anything."
After a long time, Richard finished telling the whole story... in a rhythm of succession and resumption.
"So, that day, Wan An, Philip and Orr tried to sneak attack Master Guluo, and then a battle broke out. The three of them were the real spies with evil intentions?" Eva asked after listening.
"Yes." Richard nodded.
"So, it was Master Guluo who helped you leave the underground and asked you to ask for help. As a result, due to some accidents, you did not wait for your call for help. At the last moment, Master Guluo burst out with powerful power, and Wan'an and the three of them perish together?"
"Yes." Richard nodded again.
Eva was silent, and many wizards in the venue were also silent. They were all seriously thinking about whether it was true or false, and seemed very quiet.
But soon, the calm was broken by an extremely discordant voice, and the wizard Van Helsing stood up with eyes wide open.
