Shaman from Afar

"This is really ... unsurprisingly."

The time agreed with the Draco priest was in the evening, but in the afternoon, Loren had already arrived early-the murder of the priest ’s nephew, such a thing in the ancient wood town must be known all over the city. , He didn't need to ask how to find it.

Simple and simple lakeside hut, it looks like it used to be a barren for a while. As for why the priest ’s nephew was killed here, according to his understanding, I am afraid that someone deliberately led him here.

However, such a move seems to be very puzzling. The other party has been trying to attract as much attention as possible, and dressed up these murders as a "curse of the Holy Cross", spreading rumors in the villages and towns, lest the world Not messy.

Only this time, the other party did not choose to be in the public, but in an unobtrusive place outside the village, although it was finally found.

But ... Lorren looked around the empty hut. The whole house seemed to have been specially cleaned, and there was nothing left, only the crumbling house.

There were no blood stains on the floor, and no furniture. There was nothing left except the four walls and the ceiling above the head. Obviously the murderer had been there once and wiped out all the traces.

Loren shook his head slightly, and there was some contempt in his eyes-if the other party had done a bit of concealment before, this time it was too blatant, almost almost telling himself that there is a problem here.

What's more, the more thorough it is, the more obvious it is. The other party is not a fool, so this is not what he wants, but it must be done, so what is the reason?

"The blood stains have been wiped away, but you can clearly see some different mud in the corner of the wall, it seems to be a table or a cabinet; the nails on the wall prove that there was something hanging there; the pit in the center of the house is like a fire pit, But it is much smaller, and at most one crucible can be placed; then the other party used to clean up the marks ... "

Loren murmured to himself. The boots rubbed gently on the ground. It was difficult to wash the blood on this muddy ground, not to mention the iron sword that had been melted in half before: "Although not yet Complete judgment, but even if the other party is not a wizard, I am afraid that he is also quite accomplished in alchemy. This room may be his laboratory. "

The noise of the creaking door shaft came from behind, and Loren, who was standing still, didn't look back, facing his open door—the sound of the opponent's footsteps was approaching the cabin as soon as he approached it. Half of it was for him.

"Wonderful conclusion, you really are not an ordinary wizard apprentice."

Pushed the door open, and the Draco priest walked in with applause and applause: "I thought Wimpar College would send another nerd apprentice, you are really beyond my expectations."

"Why don't you plan to continue to circle?" Loren and Draco looked at each other with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. "Actually, I really enjoyed the process, and I don't mind playing if I can."

"It seems you noticed it early?" Draco's expression changed: "Where did I expose it?"

"No, it's just that you are too active and too active-it makes me feel like I'm being led by my nose. I'm still very sensitive to this kind of thing. And the whole ancient wood town is full of rumors of the curse of the Holy Cross, also It's a bit too deliberate. "

"It turns out that ..." The priest Draco nodded thoughtfully: "I thought you would die in that abandoned tomb, but you came back alive. So I couldn't help thinking. , Maybe you can use your hand to send Father Anthony where he should go. "

"I'm really flattered, Draco priest." Loren sneered unabashedly: "Or should you be the Draco wizard?"

"It's up to you, but I guess you might want to hear why I did these things." Draco waved carelessly, and then became serious again: "You are a wizard apprentice, don't need me much Say, you also know how hard the wizards live in this land. "

"You can go to Wimpar." Loren replied: "At least there will not be prejudice against the wizards, and there are enough conditions for you to study alchemy."

"Then I took the initiative to shut myself in the tower and was driven by those nobles like dogs at random ?!" Draco's expression grimaced: "It was to avoid the dark days that I joined the Church of the Holy Cross, I tried my best to climb to this position today! "

"But Anthony's bastard, he actually found his nephew to replace me! I have worked hard for him for so many years, and I am so scared that I won't let others discover my secrets. How can I let that kind of rogue from my hands Take away the ancient wood town, it belongs to me! "

"So you just kill people everywhere, cover up as ghouls, and then find a way to blame him?" Loren asked with a sneer.

"It's not all." Draco was calm, and he didn't have any idea to cover up: "You also know that alchemy is very expensive, so I found a way to find the young son of a rich businessman and promised to help him get rid of him. Brother-Anyway, it's just a matter of luck, and it also helped to ruin the Holy Cross curse. Do two things with one stone. "

"As for the priest's nephew, the gambler, the rogue, the disgusting thing ..." Draco shuddered, and his expression became distorted: "He has been ganging around since he arrived at the church, and then blackmailed those who disobeyed him. People, the whole church has been turned into a casino by him! "

"Then unfortunately ... my secret was discovered by him. But fortunately this kid didn't even want to tell Anthony, but wanted to use this as a handle to blackmail me."

Draco smiled weirdly: "I didn't intend to kill him, after all, it was too conspicuous-but I couldn't take this risk, so I brought him here with the dogleg trainee priest who told him, Then let the ghouls end up with them, ha ha ha ha ha ha ... "

Before he had finished speaking, Draco was already laughing and he couldn't breathe: "You, you really should see, that was the first time I really saw how two living people were killed by ghouls. Yes, it ’s really, really interesting, puff ha ha ha ha ... "

Standing at the same spot, Loren looked at him so coldly, waiting for this guy to laugh enough ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ The right hand quietly touched the short sword hilt behind him.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, you know the whole thing." Draco stopped laughing, and said vaguely, "Let's discuss the business."

"What's the matter?" Loren asked knowingly.

"It's very simple. I have enough evidence in my hand to put all these things on Father Anthony, and I can't get rid of it." The priest Draco grinned: "When he is finished, I can take over The priestship of the church in Gumu Town, as well as the subsidy of a local rich businessman, can be said to have both money and power! "

"It seems so." Loren shrugged his shoulders: "But it seems to have nothing to do with me."

"How come, my friend-if it doesn't matter, why should I tell you everything?" Draco asked with a smile: "A smart person like you, is it going to be in Wimpar?" Stay in the same place for the rest of your life ?! "

"We can join forces to establish a wizarding organization that belongs to us. With my power and your skills, we have a far greater future!"

"Yes, I am just a priest now, and you are just an apprentice. But that ’s okay, we can climb to a higher position sooner or later, and run a group of wizards in the dark, a real freedom to study and learn. Group, not a prison like Wimpal! "

Draco said more and more excited, his expression was fanatical, bloodshot eyes stared at him: "Money and power, these things will be there as long as we join forces sooner or later, what do you think?"

Lorren's expression was very calm, and his voice was even calm.

"If I say, what will happen if I refuse?"
