The next night, Rudy received Kelly's magic signature, saying that he had successfully rescued Lilith and planned to stay in Stern City for a few days.

As for the specific location, she did not tell Rudy. This was also what they had discussed before.

After receiving this news, Rudy was relieved.

Although he was sure that Baron Hax would not lie in the end, no one could tell what would happen before Lilith was rescued.

Not long after Rudy received the news, Ms. Eve also received news from Stern City.

This immediately made her furious, and she didn't expect that the last trump card in her hand was lost.

At this moment she finally felt a little flustered.

As half the planner and important executor of the entire plan, Ms. Eve is deeply aware of how much resources the Hal sect and the family behind him have invested this time.

But the result of the huge investment was an outright failure, and even she couldn't afford such a consequence.

Nothing else matters anymore, she must find a way to save herself.

At the same time, Oak Hammer Badawikin also looked extremely ugly.

The loss of the branches of the sacred tree had already made him extremely annoyed. Now, as the other most important factor in the entire plan, the little girl named Lilith has also disappeared!

What made him even more angry was that he wanted to discuss countermeasures with Ms. Eve, but found that the woman had also packed up and ran away.

This is the first time in so many years that Badawikin has encountered such a strange situation.

He could only help his forehead.

However, summoning the clone of the tree god Hal is the purpose of the Hal sect, and it cannot be stopped no matter what. Even if they encounter temporary setbacks or failures, they will regroup and beat the drum.

But with the demise of Ms. Eve and Badawikin, the city of Glinton has temporarily returned to calm.

However, the Tudor-era ruins discovered beneath the Grand Theater attracted the attention of the kingdom's top brass.

Several experts from Kingdom University were directly dispatched to conduct a rigorous survey and excavation of the site.

The specific items dug up have nothing to do with Rudy, the captain of the local knights.

After everything calmed down, Rudy once again returned to his daily routine of commuting to the Knights.

However, with the disappearance of Deputy Commander Frieza, some rumors have arisen within the Knights. Regarding the position of Deputy Commander, it seems to be cursed, and whoever sits on it will be unlucky.

Five days later, Kelly finally returned to Glinton.

However, Lilith did not come back with her sister.

Rudy was still a little strange. He originally thought that Kelly was worried about Lilith's safety and temporarily arranged the arrangement out of town. After Kelly explained, he suddenly realized.

It turns out that Lilith's kidnapping turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Captain Omasil entrusted her friends in Stern City to help rescue Lilith.

The friend of Captain Omasil is himself a very powerful mid-level magician.

He took a fancy to Lilith's talent and hoped that Lilith could become his apprentice.

Faced with this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, Kelly and Lilith will certainly not refuse foolishly.

Rudy was a little surprised after hearing this, but at the same time he was also happy for this little girl Lilith.

The next few days passed uneventfully.

During this period, Rudy also tried to find two more subordinates to fill the quota for the seventh team.

But never found the right candidate.

Rudy was not willing to find two casual weapons to make up the number, so he simply left them vacant for the time being.

In addition, Rudy felt that Ichibi Shukaku, who had not appeared for a long time, actually fell into a deep sleep.

As pets, Shukaku and Rudy have a very close bond.

Rudy didn't feel that he was injured, nor did he encounter a very powerful enemy. As for why he fell into a deep sleep.

It turned out to be because I was holding back from eating too much.

Rudy was also speechless. Originally, he had planned to have nothing to do these days and use the teleportation magic circle in the attic to see the guy Zhu He.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually fell into a deep sleep. Rudy simply postponed it. He had a hunch that after this deep sleep, there would be unexpected changes in Wawai's body.

Unfortunately, these leisurely and comfortable days passed by so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a new mission fell on Team 7.

In the group leader's office, Rudy picked up a document bag from the table.

That's the information for this mission.

Captain Omasil had a stern face, looked at Rudy, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very difficult. The other party's identity is special. We must move quickly. We cannot let some people use this matter to attack us."

City Knights.”

Rudy nodded silently, while pulling out the information from the document bag and looking at it page by page.

A murder case occurred at the Sabonis Hotel in the city center. The deceased was named Modi, 51 years old, male. He was an expert on the history of the Tudor Dynasty at Kingdom University. He was also a researcher on the theory of magic runes and magic circles.

expert.

They are the experts who specially came from the capital of the kingdom this time for the Tudor ruins under the Grand Theater.

However, no one expected that an expert would die just as the work of deciphering and excavation of the magic circle began.

Especially here in Greenton City, both the city hall and the Knights are a little worried.

Captain Omasil had previously handed over this case to the second team, but after two days of investigation without any progress, he finally came to the conclusion that it was suicide.

Captain Omasil almost slapped the inspection report directly in the face of the captain of the second team.

Although, according to the investigation of the second team and various signs at the scene, the possibility of suicide is indeed very high.

However, this conclusion cannot be recognized by the big shots who are paying attention to this matter.

A well-respected ancient magic circle expert with a prosperous career and a happy family went all the way to Glinton City to commit suicide. This is completely illogical and has no reason.

Therefore, even if the case is purely based on the surface, it is very likely to be a suicide. The Greentown Knights must not draw such a conclusion. Otherwise, they can only let the people above scold them and then bring the case back.

investigation.

Rather than looking for trouble like that, Captain Omarsil simply intercepted the investigation results himself and asked Rudy to re-investigate.

As for how the old expert died, it actually doesn't matter to Captain Omasir.

The important thing is that both the top and bottom can get a reasonable result. For example, those lunatics of the Hal sect are good scapegoat candidates. Anyway, they already have enough shit pots on their heads, and they don't care about one more.

Rudy took the information and left Captain Omasil's office.

During the conversation, he had already understood the hidden meaning of Captain Omar Hill.

So I didn't take this matter too seriously. When I came back, I threw it over to Judy. I just went through the motions and then sent a report, saying that the people from the Hal sect coveted the job.

The newly discovered remains of the Dudu Dynasty.

As for how the old expert from the capital of the kingdom died.

Rudy still believes in the ability of the second team.

Although the captain of the second team is a bit upright and does not know how to adapt, his own strength and investigation and reasoning ability are all above the standard.

Since he came to the conclusion that the expert committed suicide, it is probably close to that in fact.

As for why the old expert committed suicide, in fact, in this world where extraordinary powers and gods exist, there are many things that are simply unclear.

For example, in some very ancient ruins, or items related to certain clergy, you don't even need to touch them, just look at them, you will be affected, and then go crazy or even commit suicide.

This situation is not uncommon, especially among ordinary people who have poor tolerance.

An ordinary apprentice-level transcendent with mental power can easily induce a mentally sound adult to commit suicide for no apparent reason.

The expert named Modi is certainly not an ordinary person. Although he does not have extraordinary abilities, when he was exploring ancient ruins, he wore a lot of advanced magic equipment to protect his soul and consciousness from being corroded by the outside world.

But it is obvious that this protection is not comprehensive and absolute.

This time, it was probably that the old expert came across something unclean while excavating the relics of many dynasties, and then encountered an accident.

However, just two days after Rudy was convinced that this was just an accident and was going to let Judy go through the motions to investigate, he wrote the closing report.

Something unexpected happened.

The very next night, Judy ran to Rudy's villa covered in blood!

Rudy glanced around and found a very deep knife mark on Judy's neck, almost severing her carotid artery!

Judy's face was pale, and there was still fear in her eyes. When she saw Rudy, she immediately shouted: "Sir, save me!" and then fainted.

It turned out that not long ago, Judy came home and took a shower and was about to go to sleep.

But suddenly, I felt like I didn't want to live anymore.

The past sufferings kept reappearing in her mind, which made her have strong suicidal thoughts, and she grabbed the short knife under the pillow in a trance.

Just a burst of severe pain, the instinct to survive, and the strong will of an extraordinary person made her suddenly wake up at the critical moment, only to find that the short knife in her hand had cut into the flesh of her neck.

As long as she brings her hand forward just a little bit, she will cut the carotid artery and drain out the last drop of blood in her sleep.

Although talking about extraordinary beings, the real key lies in the magic core.

But if there is too much blood loss, the entire body's functions will become necrotic, and even if the magic core and intact soul are preserved, it will transform into a ghost-like existence.
