Chapter 69 The perfect crime

From that day on, the lord's health became worse and worse, and his spirit became worse and worse. He would either see his dead wife in the middle of the night, or dream about the battle with the orcs in the middle of the night.

He began to be unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and could not even recognize his butler's face.

Her Highness Jaina thought of many ways to help, but now that she could not contact the mage of Tirisfal, she could not do anything. Every check showed no problem, and the psychic who was specially invited could not do anything.

There was no sign of any 'trouble' on Master Sean's part.

He couldn't even find Sean's soul.

But the lord did not take a good rest. He was still passing everything on to Jennifer in an orderly manner, from family secrets, to account books, to the control of private soldiers.

He gave it all to Jennifer.

Jennifer also showed great ability and did not let him down. She took everything into her own management.

At least on the surface, no one would oppose her.

This thing lasted for a week, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed. But even after he collapsed, the endless nightmare was still haunting him, allowing him to constantly see the nightmares of the past.

Only when Pastor Kyle and Li Ke use the Holy Light on him, this poor man will have a trace of peace.

In the end, everyone agreed on one thing: the lord was overly sad, and after forcing himself to pass on the family inheritance to Jennifer and letting go of the heavy burden in his heart, he went crazy.

It seemed that God did not want this man to continue to be tortured like this. His symptoms gradually improved, and he no longer saw the apparitions of those ghosts, but instead saw the people who once made him happy and happy.

In the lord's description, those people remained the best in his memory: "his father was smoking a pipe in the castle and admiring the paintings, and his mother patted her knees on the sofa and let him climb up and take a nap. He was young

His son was chasing and playing with other aristocratic children, and his favorite woman was smiling at him in his garden, holding the young Jennifer in her hand.

His dead friend was complaining about his other friend who was playing cards and cheating, and how they would deal with the enemies of the kingdom, how they would make achievements and glorify their family.

Everything is the best time.

He lived a very happy life, but in the eyes of others, this was proof that he was even more crazy.

One night, the poor man climbed up the window. In the eyes of others, he smiled and called the name of Jennifer's mother, the name of the woman he loved most, and jumped down from the window, seemingly

Someone to hug.

Then, he died with a happy smile.

The lord's death was very sudden, but everyone expected it.

Her Royal Highness Gianna was very sad. She could not bear to see such a thing. When Li Ke and the housekeeper helped Jennifer organize the funeral, she saw Miss Gianna shed tears with her own eyes.

The lord's people also attended his funeral. The tax collectors and the mayor looked at Jennifer with eyes swollen from crying anxiously, because they did not know their future fate.

The residents were a little happy because Jennifer was a kind girl, a girl who loved everyone and loved life.

She is indeed a kind girl.

"Okay, stop crying."

Li Ke walked to the tombstone and put a velvet coat on Jennifer. The autumn here was already very cold, so Jennifer stood in the cemetery wearing casual clothes. If she was not careful, she would get sick.

During these times, Jennifer would come to the Jon family cemetery whenever she had time.

"Sorry, Li Ke, but I can't help it."

Jennifer looked at the tombstone and her father who had died not long after they met her, and couldn't help wiping her tears.

"I have always wondered why I am so special, why my adoptive father doesn't like me very much, and why my mother and my adoptive father have a bad relationship. However, I have always been very happy until my adoptive father and mother both

Only when I died did I know what pain was. Then, he stood up and helped me survive, so that I would not be bullied by others... I was thinking at that time, if he really was my father.

Already."

Jennifer leaned into Li Ke's arms and looked at the tombstone with tears in her eyes.

"I never thought that I would have the status I have now, and I never thought that he was really my father, Li Ke... You don't know how happy I was when I knew that he was really my father.

, I’m not saying that my adoptive father is not good, but..."

Jennifer's tears flowed down again.

"I didn't expect that he would leave me so quickly!"

She covered her face, turned around, left the cemetery, and ran towards the manor.

Li Ke did not chase after him. He just looked at the tombstone quietly, still feeling that the old lord was not dead. He would suddenly jump out and say that he was too impatient.

Because it was too easy for him to win.

Illusion is just such a simple spell. I just relied on my own special features to easily kill an elite human aristocrat with military power, intelligence, calculation, and responsibility.

There was no disturbance, no resistance. Even as a magic genius, Jaina tried her best to find a way to rescue her, but she still couldn't find any clues. She could only watch helplessly as the lord's illusions emerged one after another.

He continues to experience pain and continues to weaken.

Then, death.

The lovely Miss Gianna even felt that she was responsible for this.

Ridiculous, funny, incredible.

He was obviously prepared to kill the opponent with the help of hunting dogs, or to fight with the opponent like a real man in an uninhabited corner, or to strategize in the face of various difficulties and even life-and-death crises.

But he died like this...

He really wants to defeat the opponent in an upright manner, because it will allow him to prove something.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But he died like this!

He kind of understood.

To prove something.

Too luxurious.

The power of the Holy Light, the power of Fel, and the power of Shadow.

They are too strong.

It's so strong that the opponent can't resist at all.

It seems that in front of these powers he has obtained, the lives and wills of mortals, as well as their choices, are simply insignificant.

This means that the dangers of this world are far greater than what the game shows and what he imagined.

"Power is eternal."

The flame of evil energy appeared in his hand, and the next moment, the flame of evil energy disappeared from his hand.

Because as if what he thought was true, the lord with a gray beard walked out of the grass clapped his hands and looked at him with a smile.

"What a perfect murder. You should be proud of yourself."

The old lord showed a confident smile.

"But unfortunately, you are too impatient."

Hearing this, Li Ke's heart stopped for half a beat, and he even put his hand on the sword the old lord gave him. The holy light instantly filled the sword, but immediately, he put his hand away from the sword again.

Come down.

Because he sensed that a force was affecting his brain.

Illusion.

This week, he has been playing with spells every day.

"Are you capable of such little tricks? Master of Shadow."

His calm voice sounded, and at the same time, the smiling lord disappeared, replaced by 'Gianna' who slowly walked out from the shadows behind him.

"I sincerely praise you, my dear. That princess's magic talent is more powerful than you imagined. The fact that you can do this under her eyes is enough to prove your excellence and Shadow's

of strength.”

‘Gianna’ spread her hands.

"This is a perfect crime. There are no witnesses or any evidence of guilt. You succeeded in getting everything. With the help of the power of the shadow and your excellence, shouldn't this be celebrated?"

The voice praised Shadow and Li Ke.

But Li Ke just smiled disdainfully.

"No, this is not a crime and it is not something to celebrate."

Li Ke shook his head.

"Why, my dear, do you think you are still righteous? Isn't this too naive?"

'Gianna' looked at Li Ke doubtfully.

Li Ke turned around, walked towards the manor, and cut off contact with the shadow, allowing Jaina's figure to gradually disappear.

Did I do anything?

He, the messenger of Holy Light, has committed no crime.

but……

Li Ke looked at the stars in the sky. Among the complicated and bright stars, not one of them belonged to him.

He did kill someone.

But he only killed one person from beginning to end.

he himself.
