Seven hundred and fortieth chapters death is coming
"There is only one truth, the murderer, and the murderer is you... Roland, the god of death! It's you, the unknown living person, the messenger of misfortune and death, the legendary high-end god of death primary school student, the spreader of misfortune who will die wherever he goes.
.Just admit it, it was you who murdered her."
"... Heloise, if I really have this ability, you will be the first to die. I don't care about your joke, but I'd better restrain myself. Others really believe it. If there is a new one starting tomorrow
If strange rumors spread, I will let you eat cat food for a month."
The environment at this time is indeed not suitable for joking. We are in the foreign guest area of the Bayer Palace, and in a room on the third floor, the palace guards are nervously coming in and out, and on the red oak floor, the old man's body is already cold.
.
Akama, the master of prophecy, was lying there, his pupils were closed, but his expression was very calm.
There were no signs of battle around, and the only fatal wound was on the chest.
"Tearing out the heart in one go is an expert."
When I pulled back the white cloth covering the body, I saw the big hole in the chest, but there wasn't much blood around it. The attack was extremely clean, and I knew I was encountering a professional assassin.
No matter how powerful a spellcaster is, it seems completely justified for him to be attacked by an assassin at close range and killed with one unprepared blow.
But this is not normal at all.
Although it is common knowledge that prophets cannot predict themselves, prophecy and detection abilities are inherently the natural enemies of assassins. It would be inconceivable that a senior transcendent mage like Akama does not possess dozens or twenty prophecy spells on his body.
Detection of invisibility, sensing of hostility, thermal energy scanning, triggering shield, true luck, the slightest touch will make the alarm sound loud, it is extremely difficult to sneak up close, even for me, it is impossible to plot against the master of prophecy.
If it were really me, it would be like killing a prophet. I would rather go to the door with a knife, which would be easier.
Under such circumstances, being able to lurk behind Akama, the most famous prophet in the world, and kill him with one unsuspecting blow is such a master of stealth.
The fingertips touched the increasingly cold skin of the corpse. Dark magic gathered on it.
I don't have the reasoning ability of a primary school student of Death, but I have some tricks of Death. In the magical world, it is not difficult to make the dead speak.
The soul-calling had just begun, but it immediately encountered resistance.
"Holy water for requiem? You really met a veteran."
The wetness on the corpse's cheeks must be holy water. If a fool priest hadn't come to purify the corpse so quickly, it would have been the assassin who poured it on the corpse.
I asked the guards around me. No priest has come yet.
This illustrates two problems. First, the assassin is very experienced and knows the little secret that holy water can hinder soul summoning. This is common knowledge that most necromancers do not know. The second point is intriguing...
"The assassin knew that the corpse would soon summon spirits, and that a necromancer would come to see the corpse."
There are actually many limitations to the spiritualism of extracting corpses and souls of the living. Corpses that have been dead for too long have lost their activity. Summoning them into skeletons and zombies is possible, but summoning soul memories is impossible.
Under normal circumstances, the soul will return to reincarnation soon. After an hour or two, even the soul summoning by the undead master is likely to fail. And as long as the soul summoning fails once, it cannot be used again.
Resurrection involves extracting the memory from the opponent's soul fragments. After one failure, the soul fragments are completely shattered, and naturally the soul cannot be summoned again.
Therefore, most of the objects of soul summoning are actually the living. More than 90% of the necromancers use this technique to interrogate the living. It is effective and consumes little money. Everyone likes to use it. The side effect is that after the soul is summoned, the living also become
deceased.
Bayer is the center of the southern sect. Although there is no clear opposition to the ban on necromancers, due to the presence of a large number of dragons and holy light professionals, it is not friendly to necromancers. There are not many necromancers in this country.
.
The assassin has been identified, and a necromancer will come to the scene soon to make such an arrangement.
He knew I was coming.
In a sense, this clue may be more valuable than the dead man's words. The information obtained from the soul summoning is scattered and trivial, and may yield something, or may yield nothing at all.
"Traitor?"
"It's possible, but we need to further confirm it."
I waved my hands and stood up.
Being able to easily get close to the master of prophecy and gaining his trust, being able to know my arrival and knowing the secrets of the undead, I am more suspicious of other spellcasters who come with the master than the experienced top assassins who come from nowhere.
Some of them may not expect me to get close to the truth.
Helent seemed to be out of the country, and the foreign envoys were assassinated and did not come back in time. I recorded some speculations and on-site inspections, wrote a list directly, and threw it to the guards, asking them to give one copy to Helent and one to Helent.
The * division led by the Parliament of Truth this time.
As for investigating spies, I don't intend to get involved, because unlike detective novels where one can easily deduce a traitor, detecting a traitor in this era is very, very difficult and troublesome.
A betrayer will not write his betrayal on his face, and making random suspicions without clear clues will only create distrust and more confusion.
Even if there are clues, you can accuse him, and he can also accuse you of frame-up. The mages' fake qualifications and experience are so good that they can't even analyze them. It has developed to a result that no one can prove. In the end, strength and prestige will speak for victory.
may not be true.
The Parliament of Truth has never been monolithic. Many of these masters have touched taboos and abyss. It is natural that they have a relationship with the Chaos side. The reward is the taboo knowledge, the power of the abyss and the "truth".
Esso could sneak in back then, as could other races and camp masters. I had already guessed that some of them must be of the same mind as us. Now that the other party has taken action to cut off my exploration, it may not be a good thing. Being able to kill him
Akama's strong men definitely cannot be cannon fodder and peripherals. Maybe they can dig out a nest.
This is a troublesome thing, and it's easy to drag yourself into the quagmire. I don't intend to get involved too deeply.
Although this seems to have cut off the clue, prophecy is a magic system, and the country of mages is not far away, so just find other spell casters.
And this also confirmed a guess from one aspect.
"I have been being watched, and I have touched the opponent's sensitive area, and the opponent was forced to take action."
It was expected that I would be monitored, but the latter made me relieved. I didn't take pictures of my opponent or worry about him, because I was afraid that my opponent didn't care about you at all, which meant that you were no threat to him at all.
It is almost certain that the Daughter of the Abyss is related to "Opening the Door", so I will probably start collecting information about the Daughter of the Abyss from now on.
The easiest thing is to find a girl who has awakened the abyss.
"It's such a headache. Eliza keeps in touch a lot."
The dead cat who always vomited quickly in the past was silent now.
These days I have been hesitating whether to go find Eliza, but on the one hand I have a lot of things to do, and on the other hand, no one knows where Eliza is now.
"...I'm afraid it won't take a few months to find her there."
In fact, no one knows the location, but it already explains a lot.
She is probably no longer in this plane, and it is impossible to go to the abyss. So, considering her situation, the flame elemental plane is the most likely area, but the flame elemental plane is vast and dangerous. If she wants to avoid me, she can
It's really not an easy task to accomplish.
"Forget it, keep an eye on Leona first."
Leona is the daughter of the abyss and has been identified by the system this morning. Perhaps as long as I take her with me, I will be able to get access to deeper information sooner or later.
There are many trivial matters in front of me, and I have no time to practice. The matter of shaping the sword will naturally be postponed. Sure enough, if I want to practice, it is more suitable to find a deep mountain and old forest.
But this kind of mentality is not good now. I am afraid that the battle with the undead emperors is just around the corner, and Helent must be busy with this top priority.
I have too few chips in my hand, so I can only be a thug when I enter the game. If I lose, I will take the blame. There is no benefit in winning, and I may not be happy inside and out. This is not what I want, but there is no reason to refuse.
"Roland."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ears, but it was not a system or noisy dead cat. This thick and deep voice made me calm down.
