The few people around who were already prepared nodded, stepped forward, picked up their shovels, and started digging.
As the cemetery was gradually cleared, Maggie's body was taken out of a red wooden coffin.
This once beautiful girl is now wearing a black dress and lying quietly among a pile of withered flowers. Her skin is pale and her eyes are closed. If it weren't for some traces of rot on her neck and cheeks, she would look like she was sleeping.
People are almost the same.
"This wooden coffin material seems to be pretty good and has a certain antiseptic effect." Angelet nodded.
"Yes, sir, this kind of wood is a kind of local antiseptic wood that is relatively noble. It is made from a tree called the red water chestnut tree. Such a large coffin will cost at least hundreds of gold coins." This place is different from the other side of the Gemstone Sea.
The gold coins here are much heavier and larger. So hundreds of gold coins are at least equivalent to prices across the sea that are close to a thousand gold coins.
A prince's guard on the side quickly explained.
Of the remaining four people, two held the white cloth they had brought beforehand, and the other two were responsible for carrying out the body and placing it on the white cloth.
As the corpse was carried out, a faint smell of corpse smell suddenly filled the air.
After the four people finished carrying the body, they all stood aside, resisting the stench.
"You go and guard first. Go to the outside of the cemetery. You are not allowed to come here without my order. Also, tell Butler Lieben." Angelet ordered.
"Yes, my lord."
After receiving the order, the five guards left in a hurry. They all knew that standing around such a long-decomposed corpse for a long time was likely to be infected with the plague or corpse poison.
Angelet waited until the guards had gone away. He looked around the entire cemetery. When he saw that no one was there, he nodded slightly.
He walked forward and squatted next to Maggie's body.
He began to gently untie the clothes of the corpse. Soon, he took off all the clothes of the entire corpse, revealing the pale and plump corpse.
Angelet's expression remained unchanged. He stretched out his right hand with his palm in the air facing the corpse.
"Sudden illness, I hope it's just a real sudden illness." A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
A faint reddish halo fell from the palm of his right hand, completely covering the naked body below in a fan shape.
The skin on Maggie's body also gradually began to glow with traces of fluorescence.
At the same time, a faint black mass suddenly appeared on her left chest. It was particularly conspicuous in the red light.
Angelet gently pressed his left breast with his right hand, and then lightly pressed on the surrounding area. Then he glanced at the abdomen of Maggie's body.
"Having a heart attack?" Angelet looked calm and retracted his right hand. Then he carefully put on Maggie's clothes.
Standing up, Angelet clapped his hands.
"Some people come here!" he shouted loudly towards the edge of the woods.
Several guards immediately ran over there.
"Sir? What are your orders?"
"Carry the body back to the wooden coffin and bury it again."
Angelet directed several people to put the body back into the grave, cover it with soil, and restore it to its original state. Then they left the cemetery together.
"Heart disease? Haha." Angelet sat in the carriage with a sneer on his face.
He flicked his fingers, and a trace of black energy suddenly emerged from his right hand.
"He was severely frightened before his death. The corpse was accompanied by signs of poisoning by Aoba. The symptoms of death were similar to a heart attack. The muscles of the whole body contracted and the congested skin returned to its original state. It is indeed difficult for mortals to detect it."
Black mist slowly lingered on Angelet's hands, and his eyes were slightly closed.
"I just happened to learn an academy's tracking spell."
He gently stretched out his index finger and drew a black triangle in the air. A triangle made entirely of black air.
Angelet took out a small black bottle from his waist pouch, gently poured out a little black powder, and spread it on the triangular frame.
hiss....
The black triangle suddenly condensed and turned into a crystal-like solid material. The empty space in the center suddenly turned into pitch black. A dark red lip slowly emerged, like a woman wearing thick dark red lipstick.
The lips opened and closed slightly, and a trembling and vague voice came out. And it was not the ordinary Angmar language, but a language that most people had never heard of.
"What do you want to know?"
Angelet narrowed his eyes.
"Maggie, my woman, who killed her?" He also asked in a trembling and strange language.
"The largest manor in the northwest, on the outskirts of the city, its owner is the murderer." He answered without any hesitation.
"Very good." Angelet's face darkened.
In the black triangle, the dark red lips suddenly disappeared into darkness. The triangle also slowly turned into black mist and dissipated in the air.
Everything returned to the state where nothing happened.
It's just that Angelet's originally sinister expression became more and more gloomy.
"Leben, who owns the largest manor in the northwest suburbs of the city?" he asked loudly.
Outside the carriage, Lieben responded respectfully and immediately.
"It's Gerald, the port warden."
The butler keenly sensed something strange and added: "If you want to do anything, sir, I can fully represent the prince's will."
"Bring someone to deal with the Gerald family. Don't leave anyone behind."
"This..." Lieben was shocked and felt a little baffled.
"He killed my woman." Angelet said calmly.
"If you have definite evidence, maybe you can pass..." Lieben asked respectfully.
"Just deal with it directly. Is it important to have evidence?"
Lieben hesitated slightly, not daring to say more.
***************************
That night, a group of cavalry robbers in black robes broke into Gerald's manor and killed every living thing they could see, not even a chicken.
Dozens of people in the entire manor, including relatives from collateral branches, were all spared.
Immediately afterwards, some members of the Gerald family who were still outside the manor were also attacked one after another. The entire family was completely uprooted overnight.
Blood dyed the land of the entire manor red on the outskirts of the city. For such a huge tragedy, the Hong Kong Metropolitan Government only sent people to deal with it hastily and declared the case closed.
This allowed everyone in the port to know the background of this case and that Gerald should have offended someone who should not be offended. So no one discussed it in a big way, and everyone kept silent about it. It was completely ignored.
Gerald the man.
Early the next morning.
Northwest suburb of the city, Gerald Manor.
On the green grass, a building composed of several gray double-story buildings connected with walls is quietly located in the center of the manor.
The sky is blue with scattered white clouds floating in it.
Clusters of flowers were planted on the lawn of the manor, and there were some red and white roses everywhere, swaying slightly in the wind.
On the grass, among the large green areas, there were dark red blood stains everywhere. The smell of blood mixed with the scent of roses, and drifted far and wide with the breeze.
Beside the manor, on the khaki carriage drive, a silver carriage drove slowly past.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing a young man with long brown hair inside. He had an ordinary face, but his eyes seemed to have a hint of coldness all the time, and even his ordinary face seemed a little extraordinary.
"It seems that you handled it very cleanly." He said calmly.
A cavalryman sitting next to the carriage smiled and bent down to salute. "It is an honor for us to serve you."
The man nodded and looked no further at the manor.
"Let's go directly to Lieutenant Governor Adolf's residence. It's been a long time since I saw my mentor. After such a long detour, it's almost the same."
"Yes, my lord."
The cavalryman nodded.
The carriage moved quickly along the driveway and soon disappeared at the end of the road.
******************
"Angelet, welcome back." Adolf gave Angelet a hug.
"I knew it was almost time for you to come see me."
"I'm sorry I'm late, tutor." Angelet also had a faint smile on his face.
"Come in first." Adolf turned around and led Angele into the villa.
The address of his house has not changed, it is still at its original location.
The two of them entered the study one after another and sat down separately.
Adolf still asked the maid to bring two cups of hot drinks.
After sitting for a while, both of them were silent for a while.
After a while.
"Advanced?" Adolf suddenly asked.
"Promoted."
"formal?"
"Formal!" Angelet looked directly into his mentor's eyes without avoiding it. A smile appeared on his face.
Adolf opened his mouth, his lips trembling a little. After a moment of silence, he took out a silk scarf from his pocket and wiped it around his eyes.
"Congratulations!" He managed to squeeze out a sentence.
Angelet knew that this was Master Adolf's dream for many years. He could not realize it himself, but it was realized in the disciples he invested in. This was a disguised realization.
Adolf looked at Angelet, the student he had sent out with his own hands, as if looking at an endless brilliant future. He could imagine how colorful and magnificent Angelet's future path would be. And such a future,
He was actually a student whom he had personally taught.
Adolf suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
"You will go further, far beyond my imagination." He finally calmed down his excitement.
"Without your recommendation, I would not have been able to reach the continent across the Gemstone Sea. My success is also a part of you." Angele reached out and held his mentor's trembling and old hand. "Please pay attention to your health."
"Okay...Okay." Adolf took several deep breaths before slowly suppressing his excitement.
"This is the wizard's book." Angelet let go, took out a book from the package on one side, and handed it to his mentor, "You gave it to me at the beginning, and now it belongs to its original owner."
Adolf took it and carefully put it back on the bookshelf.
"By the way, do you want to meet Sophia?"
Angelet smiled and nodded: "That's natural. I haven't seen her for a few years. I don't know what has become of my senior sister."
Adolf sighed. "Since the bard cheated her last time, money has only been a small problem. The main reason is that Sophia is very depressed now and has a sense of disgust towards all men except me."
Angelet frowned: "Bard? Has that person been caught?" (To be continued...)
