Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 478 Investigate 2
Several people noticed the figure who killed Kuruk.

Medium build, thin, beardless, with a puppy.The dress is quite luxurious, not the dress of ordinary poor people.But there is no need to doubt this point. Although firearms have appeared and are widely installed these days, special firearms, such as short-barreled firearms, are still high-end products.It's not that rich people can't afford it.

In addition, there are other evidences to prove this point. For example, the murderer has no interest in Kuruk's equipment at all.After killing Kuruk, he almost left without looking.

So this matter seemed very simple. Probably this Kuruk thought he had found a fat sheep in this narrow alley, but he didn't expect that the fat sheep had fangs on it.

This ignorant fool was shot and killed by the other party just like that.Then the other party swaggered away.Then a few guys who didn't know whether they were tramps or thieves came over and took away everything that could be exchanged for money from the corpse.

After all these homeless people left, it became a restaurant for rats and wild dogs.

"A... rich man," said the magician.His hand was lowered, the source of light disappeared, and now only the torches were left to illuminate the surroundings.But even just relying on the light of the torch, he could see sweat on his forehead and his breathing was disordered.

Although this spell found a clue, it obviously took a lot of effort.

"Not a local, but a foreigner, otherwise Kuruk wouldn't be so stupid." A soldier said.

"It seems that there are many such part-time jobs in the city defense team. To be honest, I don't think it's a bad thing to lose such a Kuruk."

"Lord Worm, I respect your opinion. But now the Earl is asking about this matter." The leading soldier said. "Should we start searching the city now?"

"Search at night? No, tomorrow." The magician smiled. "I need to rest, and you need to mobilize people."

The soldier watched the magician for a long time. "My lord, what I want to say is..."

"Don't look at me like this now, but most of my magic power has been used up. There is not much I can do now. And if we want to find someone, we may need more than these few people."

What he said actually made sense, especially the last sentence convinced the soldiers.

"So, shall we move tomorrow?" asked one of the soldiers.

"We will act tomorrow night. During the day, we only need to notify the gates of the city to strengthen the guards to ensure that the murderer has not left the city. At night, we will probably be able to determine the location of the murderer. I will go back to rest first. The body will be left to you deal with."

After saying this, the magician was the first to turn his head and leave the alley.

Of course, he did not return to his residence as he said, but turned around and walked towards an inconspicuous building in the city.

It was a small two-story building that looked like a grocery store.Because after entering the door, you can see a dazzling array of products, and a shopkeeper in his 60s who feels old and decayed just by looking at it.

"Welcome to the shop... May I ask what do you need?... Oh, it's Lord Worm, do you need anything? Or did you get any news?"

"I have a question..." said the magician. "A soldier in the city defense team was killed in the city today. Although it is said that he was a good soldier, he was just an ordinary soldier after all. And our lord, Earl Gellert, is very concerned about this. So the problem is Now, why is the Earl so excited? Could it be that the dead scoundrel was the Earl’s illegitimate son? In view of this small question, I will ask you, the best information dealer in the city, whether there is any opportunity I need. "

"Haha... You really like to joke. But this question is very simple, and I don't even need to charge. It should be said that it is a person who can roughly guess it."

"What?" the magician asked with interest.

"You must have known that because of the turbulent era, the territory of Normdam was abandoned, and the Baron of Normdam is temporarily in the city. It is said that he was attacked on the way, and the loss is not small."

"This matter is said to be arranged by the oracle. What does it have to do with the earl... and this matter? I don't believe that Baron Nomudane is the murderer." The magician was a little curious.

"Well, but it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as the count believes it." The shopkeeper said with a smile. "In other words, it's enough for the earl to declare that he believes it. This matter has nothing to do with Baron Nomodamen, it was done by him or his subordinates. As for the evidence... the evidence is not important in this matter. All in all, it's not just this The disappearance of the city guard soldiers, and other things, for example, the tax collector in a village outside the city was attacked, it is likely to be the work of the refugees brought by the baron, and the theft in the city may also be the baron’s. The subordinates broke the law..."

"In short, you just want to find fault, right?" Now the magician understood.

"That's right, Baron Normdan has lost his territory and is no longer a lord. All he needs is an excuse to arrest him and put him in prison."

"But is this kind of thing possible? It's impossible for the church to allow it?"

"The archbishop is not here now, even if he returns, it will take several days. And what happened in the prison these few days... If our Lord Earl is a smart person, then of course the baron will be released in the end. But even if he only stays in prison The past few days are enough to make him lose face and achieve the effect of humiliation. If our Lord Earl has murderous intentions, then it is not impossible...isn't it? Besides, Baron Nomodaman has a certain amount of property..."

"I see. It's really interesting." Wurm finally understood the cause and effect. "That is to say...you only need to label the outsiders as 'Subordinates of Baron Nomodamen', and you can do whatever you want."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel complacent.

In other words, he has always wanted to build a magic tower of his own.Although most of the funds have been raised now, wouldn't it be better if they could get a windfall?The one with the short-barreled musket must be a rich man.

He thought about this question in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was already on the street at night.

A figure who seemed to know that he had malicious intentions was following up from behind.The action is neither fast nor slow, but the distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Worm held out a finger, and an illuminated orb of light rose just above his head.This simple magic not only dispelled the darkness of the night, but also made the malicious figure just disappear into the shadows.

Tsk... is it because of the turbulent era?This city is getting more and more chaotic.At least in the past two years, going out at night will not encounter this kind of thing.However, this is not entirely a bad thing for him.

The Earl wants to find fault... What is the general trend, this is the general trend!Under the general trend, you can make your own calculations.As long as you follow the general trend, there will be no disadvantages.

Those soldiers didn't know magic, so they didn't understand that Worm knew better.

Not only does the outsider wear a rare (and expensive) short-barreled musket, but he also has an aura of magic.

It's not the magical breath of a magician, but another kind... It should be some kind of magical creature.Maybe some kind of creature's fur?Or something like an amulet made of bones.He knew that such things were actually popular among rich people.

Not just plain pop decorations, but the fact that such things do have some use.But right now, as a magician, Worm knew that he could use this breath to find the mysterious murderer.This is much more cost-effective than gathering a group of soldiers to search around.

The most important thing is that this fat prey does not need to be divided by others.

His plan went very smoothly, because the next morning, when those silly soldiers were still gathering their troops to recuperate and prepare for the arrest at night, Wurm had already found his target on the street.

It was a young outlander.Judging from the hair color, skin color and other details, it seems to be a resident of the South Sea Island.He spent a lot of money, he spent the whole morning shopping, and entered various shops many times—not those small shops for the poor, but the kind of shops for the rich and the rich—shopping, including jewelry shops and the like. The place.

Every detail is proving Worm's guess.

But maybe he noticed something, at noon, he unexpectedly came to the edge of the city.

Lulian City is also a large city with a population of tens of thousands, so it is naturally divided into multiple urban areas.And this outsider went to a very remote urban area-this place is generally called the lower urban area.Because of a terrible plague a few years ago, the place is still sparsely populated.On the contrary, various shady organizations often operate here.

Worm himself is a member of the city's underground world, so he knows exactly what the lower city is.It was a little unexpected that the target had come here, but it was exactly what he needed.

The shadow of the city wall covered the sky, and the target stopped in a deserted place.

"Why are you following me?" Worm clearly heard the other party say this without looking back.The target has noticed itself.

This is normal, because Wurm can't hide his whereabouts.

"You killed the city defense soldiers yesterday," Worm said. "I'm here to arrest the murderer."

"Oh." Zhang Cheng said softly, then turned his head and looked at the man in the dark red cloak.

Worm has already recognized the source of the special magic power on the other party - not an item carried on the body, but the little fat dog next to the other party.

This is a very inconspicuous, fat and chubby puppy who seems to only be cute, but in the eyes of the magician, it is different.This creature exudes overflowing magic power... This is the power emanating from the inside out, which proves that it is a powerful magical beast.

At this moment, the puppy stood in front of its owner, facing Worm, and made a slight "whoop" sound that represented hostility.It looks like it might jump at any time.Seemingly innocuous, but the overflowing magic power explained that it was not that simple.

Worm's hand flicked across the air, and the blood-red energy jumped in the air following the trajectory of his fingers, interweaving delicate arcs one by one.In most cases, people see this move and know that they are facing a magician, so they basically give up the idea of ​​confrontation.

But this time, it seems that this trick will not work.

Zhang Cheng reached into his arms, touched one of his own cards "Energy Protection" with his fingertips, and then released the magic in the card.Immediately, a layer of magic defense was added around his body.This is a classic, all-purpose protection magic that can resist most magic damage, at least reduce their lethality, making it less deadly.

Then when he took his hand out of his pocket, there was already a pistol in his hand.

Ma Dan... is this... a magician?The magician also carried a short-barreled musket?

Worm is not an ignorant fool. When he saw a defensive magic covering the opponent's body, he had a premonition that the situation was not good.When he saw the pistol, the alarm in his heart began to beat wildly.

This gun was too different from the short-barreled musket he had expected.This is a silver-white short gun made of metal, exuding metallic luster and the beauty of mechanical violence.

Worm knew muskets well, so he knew that the best way to deal with them was to snuff out the match before firing--no problem for a magician in the slightest.He had planned it too.Just as the opponent pulls out the gun, use a simple and quick spell to extinguish the matchlock.Then any musket directly becomes a decoration.

It takes very little force to extinguish the match.As a qualified magician, he took it for granted that this was easy for him.

But this gun... this gun doesn't have a matchlock at all!

This is not an ordinary item, but a special thing made by some... unknown method.

You don't need it to fire specifically, just recall the scene you used to trace back with magic before, and you will know how it easily knocked down an enemy.

"But I think this should be a misunderstanding." Worm put on a smile on his face.Every smart person knows when to be tough and when to give in.If you don't even have this basic ability, then you deserve it if you don't live the year of destiny.

"It was that person who came to rob me, and I was just defending myself," Zhang Cheng said. "I think everyone should have the natural right to self-defense?"

Worm's eyes once again looked at each other carefully.A high-end coat worth at least 3 gold coins, a defensive magic covering the body, a short-barreled musket that is definitely not an ordinary one at a glance, and an extremely rare guardian magic beast... In addition, considering that the shopping that I saw before is not bad for spending money scene……

When these things are combined, you immediately understand who this person is.

This is an alien magician.The very rich kind.

He noticed the protective spell on the opponent... This spell is very stable.Although most people think that the value of a magician is to release destructive spells and act as a human-shaped fort.But every real magician knows very well that this kind of stable and continuous protective spells can truly prove the strength of a magician.

Not to mention the short spear in the opponent's hand... This protective spell alone proves that he may not necessarily be the opponent in the magic duel.

"That guy is too ignorant." Worm replied. "My name is Worm, and I'm a local magician... Excuse me, did you just come here?"

"My name is Zhang Cheng, and I have just arrived in Guizhou." Zhang Cheng replied.
