Soon, Linton and Gasain returned to the city lord's mansion, and everyone in the mansion was naturally still waiting for news about the two.
What happened just now that Garsain was suddenly taken away by someone made Earl Wisler and the others jump. Fortunately, Jorah had seen Linton do this, so he knew it was Linton who did it. He should have found someone to let him go.
Garsain went to identify them. Seeing the two men coming back, Jorah immediately asked: "How is it? Did you catch them?"
"I caught him, but he's a dead man. I still don't know the mastermind behind it," said Gassern.
Obviously, the assassin committed suicide in the end. Linton's reason for remembering you as a grandmaster sounds a bit far-fetched, but Garsain doesn't think there is a problem. After all... this is also a saint-level person in this world.
It seems that it is natural for the saint-level to be respected by others. The opponent refused to say anything, so he was captured and tortured? It was indeed too ugly. Let him commit suicide. From Gaseon's point of view, it was a relatively helpless, but still reasonable ending.
.
Garsain then briefly explained the previous situation, and everyone who listened was also slightly stunned.
"Is the other party really the Sword Master Jordon?" Earl Wisler asked.
"No, but he probably learned his swordsmanship from the sword master Qiao Deen." Garsain made a judgment. Although the other party didn't say it, this is probably the case.
"Then...who wants to kill us? Don't you have any clues?" Jorah asked.
"Indeed... there are some." Garsain took out a badge with a scratch on it and said, "This may be his family crest. Maybe we can start from here."
This badge was naturally found from the other party's body. After the other party committed suicide, Linton and Gasan searched the other party's body for a while. There were not many things they could find, including weapons and medicines.
The only clue as to the directionality is probably this badge.
According to judgment, this may be the emblem of their family that the assassin said was destroyed by himself more than ten years ago. Although he has not yet identified which family it belongs to, if he investigates further, he may be able to find some information.
Although there is a scratch on the badge, judging from the way he carries it, the other party is still somewhat attached to the family.
"So the only clues we have now are that this assassin is related to the swordsman Jorden, and his family crest?" Jorah said, "In this way, we can only find out the identity of this dead soldier, and about the organization behind him...
"
"The other party didn't disclose it," Garsain said. Yes, the assassin left his name before his death, Sergras. But he never revealed anything about the organization. It can make a saint-level death consecutive
Without revealing anything beforehand, this organization is obviously not simple.
"I didn't expect that such an organization still exists on the mainland. What they are planning is definitely not a simple matter." Jorah said.
"Maybe it has something to do with the Church of Cthulhu?" Linton thought for a while and said.
"It has something to do with them?" Jorah asked.
"Although I don't feel any evil in the other party, such a hidden organization is very similar to the style of those people." Linton said, "No matter what, you two are not safe now, so you should go back early.
I'll just take over the rest of the investigation."
"I also want to participate in the investigation of this matter." Gasseron said here.
"You still have to practice hard, and you won't even be able to beat a one-armed old man." Linton said.
"Uh..." This left Garsain speechless. He had indeed never fought before. He couldn't say it was an excuse to cover Jorah's distraction. Although it was indeed the case, Jorah...
On the side, can you say this face to face?
Soon Linton also opened the portal and returned to the palace with Garsain and Jorah. First of all, of course, he wanted to report to the anxious Yalan that she was safe. Yalan here was indeed anxious to death, seeing Qiao La.
When Lala came back safely, she immediately went up to him and gave him a hug. He checked that Jorah was fine and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Yalan naturally learned about the current situation. Hearing that there was such an organization in the empire, Yalan was also surprised, because as the emperor, she had not received any similar reports. It can be seen that this organization
It's really hidden deep.
"Is it related to the Church of Cthulhu?" Of course, Yalan also listened to Linton's guess. It was indeed hiding this point, but it was quite similar. After all, they didn't know much about the Church of Cthulhu.
, "No wonder they came to your door this time. Maybe their target is you?"
"Probably." Linton nodded. "The previous investigation may have interfered with their plans, so I don't know if this is a warning or a strategy to distract me. In short, you are all in danger until they are removed.
. But since they chose to assassinate Garsain who went out, it proves that they still can't infiltrate the palace, and it is most likely safe. You should try not to go out during this period, otherwise the subsequent investigation will not be carried out.
Let the people below go, or leave it to me."
"I understand." Yalan nodded. She had no problem with not going out now. Anyway... she couldn't go out at ordinary times. Who made her the emperor?
"I... will continue to get stronger." Garsain also said. Through this time, he knew that his strength was not enough. The other party just sent a dead soldier, and it almost killed him. He didn't believe that.
Our organization only has such a fighting strength, and I really need to train hard to continue to become stronger.
Garsain's weaknesses are indeed very obvious. Although Linton has forcibly increased his attributes, there is a gap between his combat experience and combat talent and the holy level he has trained himself. Obviously he knows this,
So he himself has already determined the direction of his cultivation.
After chatting for a while, Linton said that he was going to start investigating, so he left. However, Linton, who opened the portal, went directly to the laboratory underground of the palace, and at this time, another Linton in the laboratory had already started making.
Righteous Soul Pill.
"Are you done with the trick?" Linton, who was making soul pills, asked the teleported Linton.
"There should be no problem for the time being." Linton, who just came back, is actually just a wooden clone. Yes, when the assassin Seglas committed suicide, Linton had already created a wooden clone to replace himself, and he himself directly
Grab the opponent's soul and come back to make the Soul Pill.
Linton has probably guessed what's going on, so Gasein can't continue the investigation. Otherwise, if he is really found out to be the mastermind behind the assassination of family members, Linton won't even know how to explain it.
, although it was really not him who did it, but how could he throw the blame away?
Considering this, Linton decided to destroy this mysterious organization privately before that. There must be no problem in terms of combat power. The biggest problem now is to find someone, because he has no idea where the other party is.
As for the only clue now, of course it is Seglas in your hand. Why do you want to kill yourself after you have offended me? How can it be so satisfying? Linton said, do you really think that I am a human being?
After a while, the Yihun Pill was completed. Linton also quickly found a new death row prisoner, directly punched out the soul of the prisoner, and then sent the soul of Segras into it.
"I...um...I'm..." Before long, Segras woke up here and soon found himself tied to a wooden stake with chains. Segras was startled at first, and then
Subconsciously, he prepared to use his own fighting spirit to break the iron chain. After all, it was just an iron chain, and it was nothing to a saint. However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered to his horror that the fighting spirit in his body was completely gone.
Although he was seriously injured before, it was not an exaggeration to say that the fighting spirit had completely disappeared. Seglas immediately checked and found to his surprise that the body did not seem to be his own body. Not to mention anything else, his right hand...
Why are you back? He has lost his arm for more than 20 years.
"Are you awake?" Just when Segras looked confused, Linton suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"You...what did you do?" Seglas was indeed a little panicked. The current situation was something that even a saint like him could not understand.
"This is your new body." Linton said with a smile, "Don't worry, you have a long time to adapt. I know you are a tough guy, and I guess ordinary methods can't get you to confess. It's okay.
, what I like most is to deal with you tough guys, come on, come on, die a hundred times first."
"What..." Seglas was about to ask what it means to die a hundred times, but Linton told him directly through actions. Linton's hand "whispered", as if it flickered, but in fact it was
A slap was thrown directly to Segras's face. The next second, Segras's head exploded and was turned into a puddle of flesh.
Of course, this was just the beginning. Soon time began to turn around, and Seglas, who had turned into meat, was put back together again. Before he could recover, time moved forward again, and Segras turned directly into meat again, and then went back again.
The cycle goes back and forth.
"This guy is a saint after all. Although his body has changed now, his mental strength is still very strong." Linton said while looking at Asuna next to him. Yes, Asuna is naturally in the laboratory.
Guess, she probably knew what was going on at this point.
"Do me a favor," Linton said.
"I still want to study something else." Asuna said.
"I have provided you with a lot of help. In exchange for equal value, you will also help me, right?" Linton said.
"Hmm..." Asuna thought for a while and nodded.
"In short, if you leave this person to you, you can do anything like human experiments on him. It doesn't matter if you kill him." Linton said, "Learn everything he knows from him, even if he was a bedwetter when he was a child.
Everything needs to be clarified, and then I’m going to let you go undercover for a while.”
