It All Starts with the Wizard

This incident continued until dawn, and the nobles gathered in the manor dispersed. At the strong request of Kailin, Cohen Wilson and several guards he brought were all imprisoned in the manor’s dungeon. Kingsley and others are under strict supervision.

　　Hellman didn't seem to be willing to intervene in this matter, so he didn't raise too many objections to it. Naturally, other nobles didn't have any opinions, and it seemed that everything had been settled.

　　 But Roman knows that things won’t be so simple, but what does this have to do with him? The real headaches are the Wilson family and the Jones family. As for Sir White Horse, I am sorry, it seems that due to physical reasons, he did not leave any heirs. Naturally, the inheritance of the Lucius family's title was declared to end.

Although the slave trade for many years has accumulated a lot of wealth for his family, it is foreseeable that without the status of a nobleman, that huge family business is nothing but fat in the eyes of others. If his widow winks, Offering most of the family wealth to seek asylum from other great nobles, it is possible to spend the rest of his life comfortably.

　　 If you stay on guard, it is estimated that the dead of their family will be found in a small forest in the suburbs in a while.

The circle of nobility is such a reality. It is a world of difference for them to have aristocratic status. Even for a large commercial family like the Jones family, although the patriarch has been reluctant to accept the canonization of ordinary nobles, there are Many people have the status of low-level aristocrats like Viscount Baron, and they are the link between the Jones family and other great aristocrats.

However, the next day, a more sensational news spread in Ilot. Just last night, Diana's father, the son of the current patriarch of the Jones family, Fein Jones was also killed. His body was in the city. In a slum in the east, the security team found that the murderer's tactics were clean and neat, killing him with a single knife, leaving no traces.

He was discovered with Fein’s knight guards. Unlike Fein, most of his bones were shattered, and his whole body was as soft as noodles. His neck was twisted and his sword was even stuck in it. From the scabbard, there was no time to pull it out. It seems that the murderer should have attacked suddenly when he was unprepared. A single blow broke his resistance and broke his neck directly.

The sheriff’s investigation has no clue. According to gamblers who were in a casino with Fein yesterday, he was out of luck last night. He lost a lot of money and drank less alcohol. He was disappointed in the middle of the night. I went, and never saw him again. I didn't hear of his death until this morning.

Then the sheriff conducted a rigorous search. Finally, in an alley leading to the Jones family villa, a small pool of blood and fragments of the armor of Fein’s guard were found. It was concluded that Fein should have been attacked here. Place, but he got no clues.

This time the whole Illot was boiling. The Jones family died overnight, and both of them were murdered. This inevitably reminds people of a conspiracy. For a while, the entire Illot became a little bit. People were panicked, and many nobles began to stay behind closed doors. On the one hand, they were waiting for the follow-up actions of the Jones family. On the other hand, they were afraid of becoming the object of suspicion.

However, the first suspect, who lives in Wilson’s family, is standing in front of him. Most people have the mentality of watching the excitement, and some people who are afraid of the world will not mess up and even start to clamor that this is the conspiracy of the Suma church, and the empire should directly Dispatch the knights to pacify the subject countries of several Suma churches.

What’s interesting is that this kind of brainless remarks actually got the support of many nobles. It’s not that they really believed such nonsense, but that they were afraid that the Jones family and the Wilson family would fight in Ilot and would lose. But their interests.

So they naturally hope to lead the spear elsewhere. At this time, the Suma United State, which has always been inconsistent with the empire, is a perfect bearer. As long as there is something unclear about it, no matter what it is, first. It's not wrong to hold them on their heads. Even if it is discovered later that it is a misunderstanding, the church still dare to find the empire to settle the accounts?

On the other side, in the manor of the Jones family, Roman led by Kailin to the cell where Cohen was being held. Kailin dismissed Kingsley and others who were guarding outside. Now Diana and Fein are dead. The Jones family The person with the highest status in Illot is Kailin, and of course, she has directly taken over the affairs of the family.

But Roman knows that this is only temporary. If such a big event has happened, the headquarters of the Jones family will not sit idly by, even if it is the critical moment for them to compete with the Ambrich family, but even the core family members have been killed one after another. , If the Jones family cannot show strong means to restore the situation with the thunder, then the prestige accumulated by the family for many years will be directly burned.

　　 But this is not what Roman should consider. Whether he should stay in the Jones family in the future, he still needs to see the follow-up development of the matter. Right now, he is very curious about the things that can cause apocalyptic reactions in Cohen.

Inside the dark and damp cell ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Cohen's hands and feet are on the wall, his lower body is soaked in waist-level cold water, and the whole person seems to be dying. Roman did not talk nonsense with him, as he entered the cell. At that time, there was another wave of fluctuations in the Apocalypse, which made him a little impatient.

　　 crunch... crunch...

As the turntable was slowly pulled, Cohen's body was also pulled out of the water. Roman walked up to him and looked at him up and down. Then naturally, his eyes fell on the pendant hanging on Cohen's neck. superior.

Roman pulled off the pendant, placed it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it. It was a somewhat old triangular metal with a few rice-sized green crystals inlaid on it. Feeling the reaction of the Apocalypse, Roman knew that it was the thing that didn't run away. , But now is not the time to take a closer look, he put away the pendant, turned and left the dungeon.

　　 As for Cohen, he might be hanged, which should be his final destination.

　　 Back to the room, Roman took out the pendant and looked at it carefully, but it seemed that he didn't find anything special, and he still didn't respond to the input of mental power.

In the end, Roman could only summon the Apocalypse. Who knew that as soon as the Apocalypse appeared, the pages of the book opened automatically, lying straight on the table, and the footer was constantly moving, as if Waved to Roman.

　　 "Huh? So positive?"

　　 Roman inexplicably thinks of Jasmine's hot and eager eyes when she looks at him.

　　 shook his head, Roman simply threw the pendant on the page, and then saw the pendant glowing greenishly, getting brighter and brighter, and finally the light flashed, and when he looked over, the pendant had disappeared.
