Not being an eyewitness and having nothing to do with the case, Lu Yu really couldn't find a reason to get involved.
"Don't you want to see Radner in embarrassment?" Heather reminded.
"Let's go!" Lu Yu immediately became excited.
Lu Yu couldn't care less about Radena's previous attitude, but that didn't mean he didn't mind. Lu Yu had remembered that he treated him as a prisoner before!
The Elf King visited the Grand Empire. Except for those with high status, the entourage was unable to live in the Grand Empire's palace. Their temporary residence was just outside the capital, close to the Knights of the Feather.
When Lu Yu arrived at the scene, he saw Radena pacing back and forth with a gloomy expression.
The knight on guard saw Heather and Lu Yu and let them go.
Radena glanced up and saw Lu Yu arriving, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Lu Yu had no intention of arguing with him. A person who chose to take sides early in the fight for the throne would be dead sooner or later if he did not understand that his destiny was based on obedience rather than ability.
Rather than taking revenge on him myself, it would be better to let him be played to the point of destruction by other highly intelligent players in the fight for the throne.
Seeing him now as if he were mourning for his heir, Lu Yu felt particularly comfortable. This trip was worth it.
While feeling comfortable, Lu Yu also understood the reason why Heather invited him here, which was to provide help when necessary.
The matter is not only complicated, but also delicate. If it is not handled properly, the easing situation may change now that the two countries have just ceased fighting.
Nalin and Radena couldn't walk together. When he saw Heather appearing, he hurriedly walked over. First, he respectfully saluted Lu Yu, and then poured bitter water with Heather.
"Your Majesty is furious."
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.
"His Majesty and the Elf King are meeting now. They will come together later. We need to analyze the scene quickly and give the Elf King an answer."
Heather nodded, and then waved to call a doctor from Xingchen.
The doctor from the Knights of Feather led everyone to the body and uncovered the white cloth.
"Hiss..." In Lu Yu's mind, Lulutis was already breathing cold air.
The fog demon also scared away a hazy white mist from the big orange.
Feng Yu's doctor asked Xing Chen's colleagues to come to him and said, "If I say anything wrong, please correct me."
"Let's talk about fatal injuries first."
Doctor Feng Yu pointed at his neck.
"The murderer slit the deceased's throat and stabbed her in the heart."
"Because elves have the talent of absorbing the vitality of plants and trees to replenish their own strength. In order to ensure that the elves will die, the knife in the heart is coated with powder that can block the absorption of magic power."
"The elf's vitality is tenacious. He was not killed on the spot after these two attacks. He crawled on the field for a certain distance, and then he was caught up by the murderer from behind. He stabbed him two more times in the back, which also contained powder absorbed by the stagnant magic power."
Heather said: "Isn't this the first crime scene?"
"No, the real murder scene is in the field below our slope. The murderer moved the body here after the murder and cleared all traces. We couldn't find anything useful at the scene."
It's not like Lu Yu has never seen dead people. He killed goblins in the Goblin Underground Palace, used the goblins as fuel, and even cut off the goblin's head himself. When he saw the adventurers who died tragically at the hands of the goblins, he was also killed.
The chariot of flesh and blood chases and "nurtures" in the dream, and it has become immune to bloody scenes.
But that's just bloody, not cruel.
This lovely elf had almost no good flesh on her upper body. After killing her, the murderer scratched her delicate and beautiful face, then pierced her cheek with a dagger and smashed all the teeth in her upper jaw.
The elf's wings were cut off.
The wings, which were crystal clear and had a faint fluorescent glow when they flapped, were riddled with holes. If they weren't tough, they would have been shattered.
What kind of deep hatred can lead to such a crazy thing?
Lu Yu closed his eyes and mourned for the elf for a while, then stood up, looked around, and complained to Sigrid beside him: "I will be angry even if I am Grand V. This murderer really knows how to choose his place.
"
The elf corpse is located in the middle of the Temporary Station of the Knights of the Feather and Thoresen.
There were open fields on both sides, and a slightly sparse grove in the distance. The body fell right next to the main road, with half of its body leaning out of the main road.
Combined with the fact that the murderer deliberately moved the body, it is not difficult to see that the other party wanted the body to be discovered as soon as possible.
Within the capital, in the area under the responsibility of the Knights of Feather, the hunted murderer killed the elves who came for peace...
After the two doctors re-examined it, Radner and the doctor from the Imperial Knights also came over. The three of them compared the autopsy results to confirm that there were no omissions.
Before, Lu Yu wanted to say, "I, a murderer, killed people from a distance in the palace after meeting Radena."
Now he is not in that mood.
A fresh life disappeared like this, in such a cruel way, Lu Yu felt panicked.
A large team of people arrived at the scene of the murder, and the guards surrounded the field on three levels, inside and outside, for fear that something unexpected might happen.
The faces of the elves behind the Elf King were not very good. These elves who had sincerely celebrated the reconciliation between the two countries at the dinner did not know what they were thinking.
Aesop, one of the princes, accompanied the Elf King to inspect the body and confirm the identity of the deceased.
He is not a big shot, just a servant accompanying him. This is probably the only good news.
The bad news is that this servant is actually a third-level magician.
When the Elf King travels to other countries, he must bring with him all the elites, and even his servants are the ones with the longest reputation.
It is understandable that the servant is a third-level magician, but what is incomprehensible is... that a fourth-level magician was killed like this?
Judging from the remaining magic power at the scene, this third-level magician only had time to release a fire-attribute defensive magic, and then there was a one-sided massacre.
Doesn't this mean that the murderer is at least the fourth level of strength?
Considering that third-level magicians cannot resist being killed instantly at close range...
"Are you kidding me, a fifth-level murderer?"
This completely refreshed everyone's previous speculations about the killer's strength.
"I already know the matter. This murderer commits crimes randomly every time, and the victims are of all races."
The Elf King's words were clearly a step down. Grand V stared at Ladna, only to find that Ladna was actually looking at Nalin.
Lu Yu was impressed. How did Ladna become the leader of the Imperial Knights? Didn't it mean that this Knights was directly managed by Grand V and was an extension of the emperor's rights? Is it really just about strength and not brains?
At this juncture, I still want to let others take the blame and make a fool of myself. As a dog, I don't have the brains to consider the overall situation and don't want to share the worries of my master...
The Prince of Cornwall who tried to win over Radner probably didn't have much better brains either.
Nalin and Heather knelt down on one knee and expressed that they would do their best to find the murderer and give Thoresen an explanation.
The Elf King nodded slightly, saw Lu Yu present, smiled at Lu Yu, and turned around to leave.
Aesop stayed because the investigation of the murder also required the cooperation of the elves, so he was responsible for the connection between the two parties.
Grand V glanced at Radner, and instead asked the waiter next to him, the Prince of Cornwall, what he was doing.
"His Royal Highness is entertaining Thoresen's envoys tonight. It should be..."
"Wake him up and ask him to accompany Prince Aesop and investigate together."
Grand V's voice was particularly cold, and after finishing speaking, he left without looking back.
The two kings came and went in a hurry, but everyone present felt a little suffocated for no reason.
The Elf King's understatement was based on the overall situation.
Not everyone in Thoreson agrees with the peace talks. They prefer to continue the war and defeat Grand's direct competitor.
Not wanting to be taken advantage of and not wanting to affect the relationship between the two countries, the Elf King respected the Grand Empire and did not even put pressure on it to ask for anything.
This obvious goodwill hit the hearts of everyone in the Grand Empire.
Grand V was furious, but it was difficult to get angry due to the presence of outsiders.
Radner was still secretly rejoicing after Grand V left, and sternly asked the knights around him to step up the search.
Heather and Nalin constantly checked the details with the doctor, and took the initiative to request records of past murderer cases from the Imperial Knights, who had been responsible for hunting down the murderer.
Taking advantage of this gap, something suddenly flashed through Lu Yu's mind.
He walked to Aesop and was about to say something, but stopped when he saw the actions of Aesop and others.
Aesop and the remaining elves closed their eyes and knelt on the ground solemnly, chanting strange languages.
As the songs of several elves became louder, people around them also turned their heads to watch this scene.
The desolate singing continued to echo, and lush trees seemed to appear in front of Lu Yu's eyes.
"I didn't expect that the elves here also have such a custom." Lulutis said, "There is a saying among the elves that an elf who dies in a foreign country cannot return to her homeland, so she needs the guidance of her companions' songs to help her return to her companions.
Return home with them."
"Elves, like humans, were born on this land, and they all have a hometown that they cannot part with. Even if they die, they hope to be closer to the souls of other people of the same race."
The desolate song suddenly became quiet and peaceful when it was about to end, as if to comfort his companion who died in a foreign country, so that he could let go of his inner hatred and regain peace as soon as possible.
When the singing ended and the ceremony ended, the murdered elf whose remains had been treated by the elf healer was covered with a white cloth again.
"Lu Yujue..."
Lu Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to add another identity to address him.
"I have a question and I want to confirm it with you."
"Please tell me." Aesop adjusted his expression.
"Is it unique among you elf nobles to like to decorate their wings?"
Aesop was a little embarrassed and explained: "Actually, not everyone likes to have so many weird gadgets on their wings, but this is a trend. After it emerged, everyone is following it..."
"Personally, I don't like it very much. I always feel like there's something hanging on my wings, which makes me uncomfortable."
Lu Yu smiled: "It's okay, I think your wings are very good. Another question, I heard that in Thoresen, wings are your second face. Is this statement applicable to every elf?"
Aesop realized that Lu Yu was not trying to make fun of him, so he answered seriously: "As far as I know, ordinary elves are far from what you said. After all, only powerful elves can afford to dress themselves up."
After thanking Aesop, Lu Yu grabbed the secretary of the Fengyu Knights who was passing by with a small book.
The clerk said "Ah" in surprise, and when he saw it was Lu Yu, he smiled and joked: "Sir Sir, I don't have time to find you a late-night snack now. As you can see, I am very busy."
I like to eat this label, so I stick it to death.
Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "No, I just want to ask you a question, do you have a title?"
"Yes, my family is a count... Sir, don't laugh at me. We are no better than you. We don't have any powerful magicians or warriors in our family."
"Oh, let me ask you another question. Do you know that the elves in Thoresen cherish their wings?"
"Wings?" The secretary girl poked her chin with her index finger and thought for a while, "I think I heard someone say before that, alas, the Knights of Wind Feather don't actually have much dealings with elves. Unlike Xingchen, we don't often go to the front line for training."
"But... I don't seem to have heard anything about elf wings from the soldiers who came down from the front line."
Lulutis was puzzled: "You keep asking what the wings do?"
Lu Yu didn't answer. He found a person from the common people in the stars and asked him.
After getting the answer, he stood there, silent.
"Reply a message, Lu Yu!"
Lulutis originally wanted to extend her tentacles to Lu Yu's erect neck and scratch it, but seeing that Lu Yu was thinking attentively, she gave up the operation and stared at him quietly on her shoulder.
"Lulutis, I also have a question to ask you."
"When you are dealing with other races in the Solon Empire, have you ever encountered information that you thought the other party would know, but because the other party is of a different race from your own, you don't know or understand the information at all."
After thinking about it, Lulutis said: "When I was dealing with the demi-humans of the cat tribe, I did hear that many people in their tribe don't like a strange plant called 'Seven Bud Grass'. This strange plant will
Make them itch all over."
"If you don't ask specifically, except for people who often deal with them, they basically don't know how to avoid taboos. There have also been incidents where human traders were injured when selling seven-bud grass."
"Um…"
"Wait a moment."
Lulutis shouted in the chat room in surprise.
"The murderer is not a murderer from the Grand Empire."
"Yes, you are a genius."
The Grand Empire and the Thoresen Kingdom were at odds with each other, and there was very little information exchange between them. They were basically told by soldiers on the front lines after they came down.
Then here comes the problem.
If you commit a crime on the main road, you may be discovered by patrolling guards at any time.
When time is so limited, why did the murderer stab the elf's wings to be so incomplete?
Because in his opinion, the wings are the elf's face, and destroying this will arouse the elf's anger.
