Chapter 734: Murder
Most of the people fell asleep in the Alchemy Factory near the North District. Worked overtime a while ago and did too much work, so the city lord finally let everyone rest.
A sneaky shadow approached the door of the Alchemy Laboratory and placed his hand on the magic lock, quietly sensing it.
"Who is it!" A sleepy guard walked out in the corridor and shouted.
Behind him, a hand suddenly reached out and covered his mouth with force.
"Don't move, otherwise you will be killed." The man whispered.
The guard nodded, and then the man let go of his hand and said, "Is this magic lock newly installed?"
The guard continued to nod and the man said, "Tell me how to turn it on, you must know, right? I see your identity logo, and I have worked here for at least a year."
The guard's eyes turned cold. He suddenly thrust a carp, broke free from the man, and shouted: "Comeone comes, someone breaks in!"
The man was furious and stabbed his fingers into the guard's back and stabbed it through his spine. The guard had no armor today, and this fragile part was pierced and was paralyzed on the ground.
The person who tried to open the magic lock shook his head and turned around and said, "I can't open it, it's strange."
The person who injured the guard bent down and said coldly: "I have blocked the sounds here. Do you think you can call someone over?"
The guard stared at him tightly, his face wearing a mask, and his expression was not visible.
"Speak up, I'll let you have a way out, otherwise..."
Pooh!
The guards spit out a mouthful of phlegm and spit on the man's face. The man was also disgusted through the mask.
"Let me have a way out? Let me tell you, if you kill me today, your whole family will die tomorrow. My life is from Lord Duke, and he gave it to me, you won't take it away."
"Is that true?" A green flame flew up in the man's palm and slapped the guard's forehead fiercely.
The guard's forehead let out a loud bang and exploded. The man was at a loss and didn't know what was wrong with his spell. He didn't see that the guard's soul did not shatter, but followed the blood light and escaped into the badge worn inside his chest.
"The mission failed, let's go." The unlocker gritted his teeth.
The guard disappeared, and with the reaction speed of the Duke's leader, he would be discovered and reported soon, and then he would immediately send someone to investigate. The surveillance device here was destroyed, so it must be the first time for the people to come.
Unfortunately, after being lurking for the past few months, the Alchemy Laboratory, which was finally approaching, wanted to get some drawings and secret recipes from the Duke's Mansion, but the people here were very strict, and even the Alchemy Laboratory on the outermost periphery was very defensive.
The murderer was angry and stepped on the chest of the dead guard and pressed him down with anger. The guard's sternum was broken.
"Kill my whole family? I'm leaving now. You idiot, you are dying in vain! Your duke is so powerful that you can't find me!"
"What else are you talking about?" said the lock-opener coldly.
The man then stopped his feet, snorted in disappointment, turned around and left the corridor, and disappeared in the alchemy factory while the night was dark.
Because of the temporary holiday, after dawn, people who came to the Alchemy Laboratory found the body of the guards, which was very scary.
This hasn't happened to the Duke's Corps, so the City Defense Force immediately sent an epic mage to block the scene. Soon, Shrek also arrived in person.
"Light and shadow back!"
Shrek recited a mantra and released a magic solemnly, in fact, because he was not very skilled. However, he had to learn what Xia He told him.
The magic was released, and a phantom appeared in the corridor, step by step back what happened before.
The legendary wizard's power was powerful, and it was all the way back to the appearance of the thief. Shrek stopped and his face was cold.
Someone actually made up his mind to come to Sun City?
Things like stealing technology are not common in the empire. The most hateful thing is that they actually killed people. There is no sound in the light and shadow retracement, but looking at the guard's lip, Shrek also knew what he said.
"Go to check, it was done by the insider. You may have escaped from Sun City now, but it doesn't matter. If you escape to the horizon, I will catch him back. Mad said he wanted to kill his whole family, and I will take care of this matter." Shrek said viciously.
No one around dared to speak, and it was indeed not difficult to check, because there were indeed two mages who escaped overnight.
A small boat was lost on the other side of the port.
"The city defense force is really relaxed." Shrek said coldly and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
The city defense force was in chaos. After the construction of Sun City, the first bloody incident occurred and even caused people to escape overnight.
When Shrek said this, many people had a chill in their necks.
Responsibility cannot be shirked, and can only be punished according to the system. The most terrible thing is to deduct merit first.
Soon, the origins of the two magicians were found out. Their resumes were fake and their true identities were a noble family wizard in the middle of the empire.
That nobleman now defected to the Merryfin family.
Shrek became even more angry. Can all his fake identities join Sun City's alchemy factory?
Fortunately, these two guys didn't know the background of Sun City, so they didn't pay attention to it, so they left some hair and cut nails. The bloodline was analyzed by people from the Alchemy Laboratory, compared with Xia He's database, and found the real murderer.
Two great magicians in their 20s, Pierre and Trian.
They were born into the Sith family, and they were even the conjunct relatives of the Sith family. The Sith family was the title of first-class earl, and Shrek did not think that an earl would provoke the majesty of the duke.
This matter may not be as simple as I thought.
But since I promised the poor guard, I had to do it myself.
After thinking about it, Shrek felt that he could not accomplish this with his own people, so he had to come to Golia.
Goria doesn't live in Mount King Kong now, but is still in her own magic tower. Shrek comes over and Goria asks, "Shrek, do you want to avenge the guard?"
"It's just one of them, mainly because someone provokes the teacher's majesty, and I can't tolerate it."
"What about deeper things? And me, you have to tell the truth, otherwise I won't help you."
Gloria is not young, but it is not a little girl who can deceive her. As she said bluntly, Shrek's face turned red and said, "The teacher once drove the Merryfin family's army out of Red Sea City and sent it back to the empire. The Merryfin family has never responded to this matter. It's very abnormal. They are also dukes."
"Do you think the Sith family is instructed by the Merryfin family to test us?"
"Even if it's not, it's still the case now. The Merryfin family must support the Sith family."
Gloria nodded. Although Shrek was young, he looked at things very thoroughly. The Merryfin family must avenge the revenge of Red Sea City.
The Sith family is located in the mainland, and it is impossible to send troops to cause trouble on Rhode Island.
If I really did that, the Merryfin family would always find a name to protect the Sith family.
Now everyone is going to war with the demons, and if the Duke of Asra provokes a conflict, it will always cause criticism. Besides, most of the legends in Rhode Island have been transferred away, and the other party is also testing the details.
"What help do you want?"
"Persuch Smith, go to the Sith family with me."
"Why don't you go by yourself?"
"Smith... looks down on me, I have nothing to say with him."
"It would be very troublesome if you do things together."
"It's all for the teacher, not for myself." Shrek said calmly.
"Then I'll go and talk to him. He'll have no choice but to go. If he doesn't want to, I can't do anything. You know, he won't be my dispatch."
"I know, then I'll trouble you about this."
"It should be done for the Duke." Goria said politely.
Before Shrek returned to the Duke's Mansion, he received the news that Smith asked him to go to the port and meet on the boat.
Shrek was overjoyed. He vaguely knew Smith's power. Every time he saw it from afar, he felt a sense of danger in his heart. Facing most legends, he did not feel this way.
Besides, Smith is a student that teachers value more, and her equipment must be very good.
On the battleship, Smith was inspecting and studying the bilge. When Shrek arrived, he stopped what he was doing.
"Smith, are you studying the battleship?" Shrek looked curious.
Smith said with disgust, "No, I'm watching, how can I find the most vulnerable part from the bottom of the ship and sink it directly. You'll tell me the matter."
"I want to invite you and me to go to the Sith family."
"What are you going to do?"
"Two mages who committed the crime will be captured alive, refining their souls, and paying homage to the dead guards. Then make this matter public, inform the House of Commons, and demand compensation from the Sith family."
"Catch it back? Although the Sith family is an earl, there is a legend."
"That's why I asked you to come."
"You are really straightforward..."
"The truth of the matter is, so if I say something else, you will dislike me even more."
"I heard that you want to kill the whole family of those two mages?"
A trace of gloom flashed in Shrek's eyes. He said, "Although it's a bit hurtful of the innocent, it's my style of doing things and has nothing to do with the teacher."
"These two mages are also collateral blood relatives of the Sith family."
"If the Sith family refuses to hand over them, then they will die together." Shrek said.
"I don't like killing innocent people indiscriminately," Smith said.
Shrek looked at him and waited for his final answer. Smith pointed the wooden board at the bottom of the ship with his toes and said, "It's this place, it's a weakness. If a legend uses special spells to attack, it will affect the stability of the keel. After the formation is broken, other attacks will be too easy to destroy the warship."
"Um."
"Do you know, this huge warship has good defense measures, and even a legend cannot sink it in one fell swoop. However, the existence of this weakness gives the legend an opportunity to take advantage of. The Duke Corps is also a huge warship. I don't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but there are always people who think that it's no big deal to test the Duke Corps. But after testing for a long time, you will find loopholes."
Shrek was overjoyed and knew that Smith had agreed.
