Magic Tool

Steven had already packed up and had a few words with Enao. He summoned all the apprentices to set off together.

This time, Enao is not in a hurry anymore. After all, there are his two sons and daughters among the apprentices. The main purpose of going out today is to investigate. Children see the world.

After a while, Terry Phantyldorosoff arrived. They also heard about this incident, and they were very nervous when they came.

Enao acted resolutely, and after inviting Steven, he quickly came to the gate of the city.

Rowan hadn't seen the way of fighting in this world yet, so he followed Steven closely. When he came to the door, he found that the army of the City Lord's Mansion had already gathered here. There were about three or four hundred people, almost all of whom were He is a knight, and his military appearance is good, neat and uniform. After arriving, there is no gorgeous wording, and there is no passionate departure language, and he sets off almost immediately.

After all, for Sakura City, the population of several villages was lost at once. This kind of incident is no less than a war.

The place where the incident happened is very far away from the city, far away from the town. When approaching the vicinity, there were many people coming and going, and then there was no one. It was very deserted. Although it was only three or five days, it was enough to see The change here was that after everyone arrived at the scene of the incident, they saw a few soldiers guarding the entrance of the village.

Seeing most of them coming, these soldiers were relieved and greeted them one after another.

At this time, Luo Wen had already arrived at the back of the team. Looking from a distance, he didn't know what they said. He could only see that the expression on the face of the city lord was a little different, and his mentor was also at the moment. Their faces were heavy. After everyone dismounted, they quickly came to the head of the village and saw the scene of the village.

At the head of the empty village, hundreds of corpses were neatly placed on the ground in four rows. Each corpse was covered with a layer of white cloth, which can only be described as miserable. At the same time, there was an unpleasant rancid smell in the air, making people sick and retching. Most of the soldiers covered their mouths and noses with white cloths soaked in water. The smell was really bad. Luo Wen also took some water himself, and took out a cloth to cover his mouth.

But Rowan discovered a strange thing. Apart from the unpleasant smell, there was not even a trace of bloody smell here. He observed around and found that there was no blood on the ground around him, and there was no blood on the corpse. Flies, and no other scavengers, or other things exist, very weird.

After negotiating with the soldiers, Rowan saw Mentor Steven go up to check the corpse.

Steven put on gloves, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and inspected several corpses in succession starting from the first corpse. At the same time, he was still muttering something in his mouth, and then signaled the soldiers to cover the white cloth, After asking a few questions, his expression was a little serious. He looked around from a distance, called all the apprentices to the front, and said, No matter what happens, as a magician, the first thing to do is to stay calm. Then find a way to deal with it, you four, go check it out yourself, and then tell me the result.

For a magician, observation is also an important subject, although a few of them are just magic apprentices.

Teldorosef, look at me, I look at you, finally suppressed the stench, and approached the corpse. Of course, they also put on gloves. At this time, Rowan had already started to examine the second corpse. Although the stench was bad, he endured it and checked the two corpses. Before the third corpse, he asked the soldier for a skinning knife.

Luo Wen just wanted to prove his conjecture, not to actually dissect the corpse. The mentor's mental power was strong enough to scan directly with mental power, but Luo Wen couldn't do it, so he could only verify it through this most primitive way.

The corpse was all white, and it was terribly white, with no marks on the whole body. After performing the cutting test on the third corpse, Rowan finished the inspection, returned the skinning knife to the soldier, and returned to Steven. .

In fact, Luo Wen had come to the conclusion in his heart that these people had lost all their blood and died, but it was not excessive blood loss in the ordinary sense, but a lack of very important red blood cells in the blood. There are still things in their blood vessels, but there are no red blood cells. The blood vessels have lost so many red blood cells. At this time, they have become very thin and white.

Everyone may know that an important part of red blood cells is iron. If the pure red blood cells are gone, someone must need the red blood cells in the blood, or the iron in the blood. What kind of concept is this?

Iron has two states under oxidation conditions, one is the divalent state and the other is the trivalent state. People in this world are still ignorant of chemistry and physics, and they don’t know some of the changes, or maybe some people don’t want to. Understand their mysteries, no one knows anyway, rust in the ordinary sense is naturally ferric iron, as for ferric iron, the biggest source comes from the human body itself, after all, it is not a secret that iron is contained in the blood, in the magician In some disciplines, blood is also a special raw material, and is sometimes used as a weapon.

After a while, everyone finished checking, and retreated to Steven with a pale face. But judging from their faces, the three of them won't have to eat when they get home.

After seeing his apprentice finished the inspection, Steven came to Henao and said coldly, This incident is my fault. Although this incident was not done by the magician, it is related to the magician. He did not He didn't say too much, saying that he would be responsible for this matter.

Enao's face also softened. As long as he has a relationship with a magician, his guilt can be a little less. After all, the population of three villages died, and a total of seven to eight hundred people were killed. This is not a livestock. , but a living human life. Although human life is not valuable in this world, it is human life after all. Henao has the main responsibility for this kind of thing to happen in his own territory, and the development of the territory is also inseparable from himself of the people.

Steven looked back at Luo Wen and the other three disciples. Although he didn't understand why he came out so early, he could tell from the expression on his face that he might know something.

Tell me what you have found, Teldor, you come first.

Teldo blushed, and said, Teacher, I only found that they bled to death and there were marks on their wrists, but judging from their expressions, they should be voluntary. I didn't find anything else, and I don't know. what's going on.

Terry Finn, what about you?

Teacher, what my brother and I have observed is similar, but I guess it is caused by religion, and it should be the blood-red religion. She is very sure of what she said. She usually reads some miscellaneous books, so this is all she can think of.

Steven looked at this female disciple in surprise and expressed his appreciation. He turned his head and said, Roseph, what about you?

Rosoff's performance was very calm. He had been thinking before, but now he talked eloquently, Teacher, according to my observation, these people are definitely the product of an evil religious ceremony, and it is related to blood. Originally, my guess was also the blood-red religion. After all, there have been precedents in the empire before. The blood-red religion has hurt many lives, but after seeing their expressions, I don’t think so, but the specific situation is not clear. The purpose of the blood-red religion is one of the seven deadly sins. They are eager for blood, they often use unscrupulous means, and they don’t care about other people’s lives at all. Therefore, I believe that it is unlikely that they will use such a peaceful method to make these people die voluntarily, and the blood-red religion does not seem to be gentle. method to collect blood.

Tai Lifen blushed.

Steve turned his gaze to Rowan and said, What did you discover again?

Luo Wen raised his head, sorted out his thoughts, and said, This matter is undoubtedly a religion. I have summarized the following points. First, these people must have died voluntarily, and they must have been instilled with some will before they died. , perhaps bewitched, perhaps hypnotized, perhaps instilled with certain drugs, these people's spirits are very excited, that's why they can behave so calmly and calmly after death. Second, these people died very strangely, although they were Blood loss to death, but what is lost is not all the blood, but the blood. I don’t know how to describe it, it’s the red part. I’ve read a book that said the red part of human blood It may contain very special iron, and they just lost these things, so I suspect that they should be people from the ancient weapon refining sect and the magic weapon sect. He dared not directly name the ferrous iron in it, for fear of being directly Kill him, who knows what taboos there are in this world.

Steven was shocked. This disciple was beyond his expectation. It was unbelievable that he could guess the final result. Now he finally had some doubts. This guy Rowan has the talent of photographic memory. It seems The little guy's books these days are not in vain.

Steven agreed with Luo Wen's performance very much. He looked around and found that other people were looking at him, but he was a little dissatisfied with his current behavior. After all, teaching in this kind of situation does have some bad influence. so many people.

Steven smiled embarrassingly, turned his head, and said to Rowan four people as usual, Knowledge is the most important thing for a magician. Remember, observation is the first, but the mind is the key point. , Rowan you are doing well.

City Lord Enao, this is indeed the handiwork of the Magic Weapon Sect. In today's magic world, only they can collect human blood in such a big way to make powerful magic weapons, but how can a magic weapon be so easy to make? The mere seven or eight hundred people may not be able to reach one-tenth of a magic weapon. They will definitely take action. How about this? I will report to the headquarters immediately after I go back and ask for support. Well, my strength alone is not enough to destroy them, and this time we have already frightened the snake, I am afraid they will lie dormant for a while, and nothing will happen for the time being.

Enao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very dissatisfied with Steve's previous performance, he was relieved by what he said later. As long as no one is killed, he, the city lord, will not be punished, and if he informs the Magic Guild , Such a big event, the Magic Guild should take it very seriously.

Thinking of this, Enao said, Then thank you Director Steve, there is a lot of inconvenience here, I will send you back first.

The scene needs to be cleaned up, and the corpse needs to be buried. These are the biggest issues at present. Now that the cause of the incident has been determined, these things must be disposed of quickly, otherwise it may produce bad results and cause a large-scale epidemic.

The three villages all died within three days. For ordinary people, this matter is too bizarre, and the news in this world is too closed. If it is not discovered by passers-by, I don’t know how long it will be before they are discovered. .

Facing this kind of thing, Luo Wen could only sigh and shake his head. If it was in his previous life, this kind of thing would have been known all over the world.

On the way back, Steven didn't speak all the way, but was thoughtful, and the four people under him didn't dare to speak, for fear that the mentor would get angry. The hierarchy in this world was far more terrifying than Luo Wen thought.

When he went back that day, Steve asked Penders to report to the Magic Guild, which almost immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups. After all, the Magic Weapon Sect is also a big religion, and it was definitely premeditated to provoke such a big case for no reason. It must be guarded against.

Of course, Luo Wen and the others don't need to know about these things. Taking advantage of some time, the four of them stayed in the Magic Institute with a tacit understanding, and opened the book of the history of religions in mainland China by coincidence.

Luo Wen's big show in front of his mentors naturally aroused their jealousy, although Luo Wen has always been better than them.
