Chapter 2141 clues to the murder weapon, suspicious direction
The process of casting the spell was very smooth, and Xia Duo could see that Esther also wanted to discover some new clues that had not been discovered before, so the other party cooperated fully when casting the spell, allowing him to experience the feeling of a domineering mentor.
After sharing his perception with Savile, Shado began to make a preliminary inspection of the dagger on the ground. It might be more appropriate to call it a "scythe" instead of a dagger.
It's just that the bending style of the blade of this murder weapon is completely different from those common scimitars in Calimshan. It only starts to bend near the tip of the blade, and the arc is very shallow. It is because of this feature that it is called "Tarafu" and the elves.
"dagger".
In the eyes of Shado, a person who has no idea about scimitars, the curved edge is enough to be recognized as a knife, and on such a very serious matter, he believes that both Calinshan and Katemir should be right
The style of the murder weapon was identified, and the dagger should be just a title.
Chateau also called it a "dagger" for the time being.
In addition to the style of the sword blade, he also noticed the forging marks on the dagger. This should actually be regarded as a very significant feature, because most normal magic weapons are directly cast in one piece by the caster (weapons often need to be made into human bodies).
Engineering design, such a role is usually filled by professional blacksmiths, if you don't care or don't need it, you don't have to).
Only a few high-quality products will have the participation of highly skilled master blacksmiths to improve the weapon's ability to withstand various extreme situations.
This short sword is obviously a magical weapon, so the forging marks on it may be able to trace its original maker and determine the identity of the user.
Of course, this is only Shado's preliminary judgment. Perhaps Katemir and Kalishan have already done this, and we will know later by asking them about the details of the investigation.
…
In addition to the material of a magic weapon, magic is its real main body. The magic elements that Sha Duo has detected so far are not very advanced, and they only involve the eighth layer of the magic network at most.
There may be no problem with using such a weapon as a prince's sidearm, but if it is used to assassinate a prince who is on an envoy to another country, it is somewhat inappropriate.
Unless the assassin knows exactly what kind of protection the target has on his body, he can make such targeted preparations. Otherwise, if he encounters a protective measure that cannot be broken through, wouldn't he be left with the only option of suicide?
In Sha Duo's view, an assassin or killer must take into account all unfavorable factors and use all his strength to kill with one blow, thereby completing the mission.
It was simply a child's play to kill a prince with just a magic sword that had just entered the high-quality level. Shado speculated that there was a high probability that there were assassin accomplices in Katemir's country or more specifically among the prince's entourage.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
Of course, this is still Xia Duo's preliminary judgment based on the murder weapon. Perhaps Katemir's side has already conducted such an investigation. No, such a big thing should have been revealed. The prince's entourage must have even uncovered the eighteenth generation of their ancestors.
"Remember to ask about the results later!"
…
The specific magical effect of the magic sword cannot be fully understood through [Saint Nodel's Detection Technique] alone.
However, based on his experience in spell identification and combined with Tarafu's previous description of the assassination scene, Xia Duo judged that this short sword should have the functions of [disintegrating soul], [turning flesh and blood into mud], [blocking detection], and [
Effects such as "Erase Traces".
Among them, "blocking detection" and "erasing traces" combined, may be called "cutting off cause and effect", a very overbearing effect. Normal people use this sword to kill people, and spellcasters below the senior mage can't even investigate.
Legal investigation.
But again, this sword involves a low level of magic network. It seems to be to reduce the vigilance of the prince's entourage. But if you don't know the specific protective measures on the prince, why should you prepare such equipment?
One explanation is that the assassin has so much ability behind him, but it is unlikely to be imagined. In this incident, Taraf's younger brother was first replaced. This is not actually an ordinary identity, it is just covered up by the identity of Prince Katemir.
Then he wanted to assassinate Prince Ketmere and offend two regional powers in succession. If he had this little ability, wouldn't he be afraid of being visited by the angry Calishans and Ketmere elves the next day?
Therefore, Shado is more inclined to believe that there are assassin accomplices or collaborators on Ketmir's side. It was the elf traitor who provided the assassin with specific protective measures for the prince, and the assassin was able to carry out such a precise assassination.
As an assassin who knew nothing about the prince's protective measures, perhaps it would be more appropriate to just drop a "nuclear bomb" and conduct an indiscriminate attack, instead of carrying out an almost scalpel-like precise assassination like now.
And this also exposed the purpose of the assassin or the force behind it, which was to establish the illusion that Prince Katemere was killed by an important figure in Calimshan, thereby provoking a war between the two countries.
From this perspective, the true identity of the force behind the assassin may be revealed.
…
Afterwards, Chateau asked to review the scene of Shuo's assassination, which was also the only clue. Esther offered to view the magical images saved during their previous two investigations, and Chateau agreed.
Even if the past images are recalled, there will be a lot of distortion, and they may even be deliberately forged to confuse investigators. Of course, this incident should not be a forged past image.
And what he wanted to see was just the assassin's state when he took action. He didn't need many details, and the same was true for the saved images.
It was not practical to do this in the stasis field, so the group left the stasis field and came to the elf camp in the north of the square.
Esther should have contacted the camp when he came over. When Xia Duo arrived, an elf ran out from the depths of the camp and handed Esther a wooden box that exuded bright magic light.
Esther opened the wooden box. Inside was a green gem with nearly a hundred facets, shining brightly in the sun. Seeing this gem, Chateau exclaimed luxury in his heart.
This gem is none other than the gem of wisdom that he had been asking for in the past. Although he has obtained some through the embodiment of his own space, the method of making this gem has always been a mystery.
Uvelun in [Projection Plane: Everesca Independence] would rather give out the inheritance ceremony than give out the production method of this gem, which shows how precious it is.
Now, on Katemere's part, just to preserve a historical image that recalls the past, they have used a brand new wisdom gem, which is simply too extravagant.
There are too many ways to preserve magical images in the magical world, such as memory crystals, which are actually white crystals. Although they are also considered precious, they are still not comparable to wisdom gems.
