Chapter 296 Walking into the Tower (6K)
The sirens kept ringing, and because the battle involved a large area and the situation was serious, the night watchmen soon sent alchemists over.

After extracting the fragmented tissue from the remains of the corpse, the alchemist conducted a series of spell verifications.

In the end, they got an accurate but unbelievable information.

"The deceased is Xiacheng District, Mrs. Luo Juya, the mayor's wife of District B."

At the gate of the Night Watchmen Monument Square in the lower city of District B, their District Chief's wife was killed.

And it was not long after the task was released, which made the night watchmen present unacceptable for a while.

After all, Luo Juya took good care of them on weekdays, and also helped the warriors, civilians, and warlocks in the lower city a lot.

Such a leader was actually killed?
"Check it out, check it out for me, no matter who you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find him out."

A captain of the Night's Watch yelled, and his men sprang into action.

As a regular combat force under normal circumstances, these night watchmen actually have other tasks, but at this time, no one will stop them.

"Captain, have you notified Mr. Xiong Zemo? If not, what should we say now?"

Hearing the subordinate's question, the captain almost slapped him across the face.

Xiong Zemo...

"Master District Chief must be notified, let's organize the language."

"Organizational language? Me?"

"Nonsense, who are you going to?"

After some discussion, the night watchman who asked the question was finally sent to inform Xiong Zemo.

The other night watchmen began to investigate the scene, collect information, and try to find clues left by the murderer as much as possible.

Soon, they had some gains.

However, the scope of the battle is too large, so their chains of evidence and information are also very chaotic and fragmented.

Until the arrival of Xiong Zemo, the tall Wei Wu.

"Master district chief..." The captain of the first night watchman team lowered his head in front of Xiong Zemo.

"What about her?"

"In the front, the scene has not been destroyed, but Mr. District Chief, I need to continue to investigate the situation here, so..."

"I know what to do. I used to be a night watchman too."

Xiong Zemo's strong body over 2 meters trembled slightly, his eyes flickered as if hiding his inner sadness.

He walked towards Luo Juya slowly, tears could no longer be stopped.

Then, a 2-meter strong man sobbed silently in this rainy night.

There is a beautiful love story between Xiong Zemo and Luo Juya, which is something that many people in District B of the lower city already know.

So no night watchman would laugh at Xiong Zemo at this time.

"My lord, my condolences and my condolences."

The captain of the night watchman touched Xiong Zemo's body, as if he wanted to comfort his district chief.

However, after sobbing for a while, Xiong Zemo slowly turned his head and asked in a deep voice:
"Any clues about the murderer?"

"As for the identity of the murderer, we still don't have some accurate judgments..."

"I'm not talking about the identity, but the traces here, the traces of the battle, the range, and the energy that may have appeared."

The captain of the night watchman frowned slightly. Xiong Zemo's question sounded a bit strange.

He looked up at each other, and when the two looked at each other, the Captain of the Night Watch was in a trance for a moment.

Then his eyes immediately avoided, as if he saw something he shouldn't see.

"There have been obvious traces of battle here, two kinds of physical volume destruction, both are claw marks, one big and one small, and there are traces of flame burning.

But at the end, it doesn't look like it was caused by flames, it seems..."

This person looked at the alchemist. As warriors, their judgment of energy is still not as accurate as that of a warlock.

This alchemist has already completed the extraction of energy traces on the spot.

Although the continuous rain washed away many traces, the fluctuations in the previous battles were too great, so it was difficult to really clean up the scene.

"There are three kinds of energy traces at the scene, one of which is shadow energy, which should be the energy left by Mrs. Luo Juya, because she is a shadow warlock.

Another kind of energy is flame, which should be left by a level 3 fire disaster warlock.

Finally, there is another kind, which should be thunder. This kind of energy remnants has an aura of ancient sounds, so it is very likely to be a fruit capable person. "

The alchemist spoke clearly and in a complete manner. After receiving her report, Xiong Zemo raised his eyebrows slightly and took a high look.

The girl in front of me is wearing a pair of glasses. She is tall and outstanding. Although she looks submissive, her eyes are full of confidence.

That is a warlock's confidence in his own strength.

This made Xiong Zemo couldn't help but think of his former disciple, Gu Jianuo.

Although the figures of the two are very different, Xiong Zemo always has a feeling that they are very similar.

"I once had an outstanding student who was also a young and capable alchemist like you, but you seem to be younger than her.

Oh, by the way, what's your name? "

"My name is Dolei." Dolei smiled and bowed, neither humble nor overbearing.

Xiong Zemo nodded again, the girl named Dolei in front of him seemed not so simple.

"Thank you, Miss Duo Lei, your ability has saved me a lot of work. If you have any other information, please let me know. I will express my gratitude."

"No, these are what I should do, Chief Xiong."

Duo Lei rejected Xiong Zemo's overtures. She felt that the person in front of her was a bit complicated, giving people an indescribable feeling.

It is very dangerous, far more dangerous than the teachers of the temple.

Xiong Zemo was not angry when he saw that Duo Lei kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, but simply looked for the taste:
"I didn't realize before that there are excellent alchemists like you in the lower city of the Lighthouse. When did you join the Night Watch?"

"Not long ago."

"You're not a lighthouse man, are you?"

"Yes, I am from Tianrui Lifeng, but I have already obtained the residence certificate of the lighthouse, don't worry, Mr. Xiong Zemo."

Duo Lei said with a smile, at this point in the topic, it seems to be ended by her.

Xiong Zemo took a deep look at her, then turned around, and said to the night watchmen again:
"When your investigation and evidence collection is over, can you hand over her body to me? I will take care of it."

Although it was a pleading tone, no one could refuse him at this time.

After all, it is reasonable for a husband to ask for the body of his dead wife.

The captain of the night watchman said quickly at this time:
"Don't worry, Chief Xiong, I will do my best."

"Just do your best, do your best."

Xiong Zemo looked very tired, he supported the wall next to him, and the other night watchmen hurried forward to persuade him:
"District Chief Xiong, go back quickly and take a good rest. District B can live without us, but it cannot live without you."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

After Xiong Zemo left, the on-site investigation continued.

Duo Lei watched Xiong Zemo leave, and pinched her shoulder:

"Gulu, what do you think of this man?"

Cuckoo! ~
In the air, there was a cry like a dove or an owl, which seemed to be talking to Dole.

But soon, Dolei frowned.

"You said... he is not human? Impossible."

During the close observation just now, Duo Lei could clearly feel the breath of Xiong Zemo.

Heartbeat, pulse, blood flow, breathing, and even the trembling of pores, all belong to normal human beings.

If such people are not considered human beings, then I am afraid that all alchemists cannot be called human beings.

After all, alchemists will more or less "optimize" their bodies.

Optimization is a must. In the philosophy of alchemists, the human body is really not suitable for surviving in such a dark age.

Afraid of cold and heat, unable to withstand impact, blow, slash, short life span, easy to get sick.

These are all shortcomings in the eyes of alchemists, and the only advantage may be the extremely strong growth of human beings themselves.

Therefore, alchemists often optimize their bodies to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Including Dole herself.

"If it's not human, is it a puppet? I heard that Xiong Zemo is a very famous puppet master.

If he can really make the puppet like this, then his ability is quite interesting. "

Cuckoo! ~
"Let's go, let's go to work."

Goooo!

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

While Dole was speaking, the indescribable creature on her shoulder handed her a twig.

This branch is shining, the golden light is very dazzling, although it is not enough to blind Duo Lei's eyes, but at such a close distance, this branch already has the effect of lighting.

"The golden light tree...it actually came out in this kind of place.

Logically speaking, this Luo Juya is also from the faction inside the lighthouse, was he killed by his own people?
Such a city, which was already on the verge of being destroyed at any time, is still fighting among itself at this time, which is really ridiculous. "

Dore seemed to be very disdainful of the situation at the lighthouse.

At this time, she showed the pride of a member of the Red Moon Temple, and this kind of pride was not born with her.

It was cultivated by the Red Moon Temple day and night.

"Okay, I've gained quite a lot, let's go back."

……

On Xu Le's side, after returning to the reception hotel, he became very honest.

The other three saw that Xu Le didn't intend to make a tactical summary, and the state didn't look right, so they didn't come to bother him.

Xu Le sat cross-legged on the bed, and Ding Ke seemed to be aware of Xu Le's physical discomfort, so he walked over and leaned into Xu Le's arms.

From time to time, he licked his fingers to comfort Xu Le.

Xu Le became immersed and entered the tree of souls. After confirming that there was no change here, he entered the realm of the mother tree again.

But it's a pity that Chi Xiao didn't stay here.

Originally, Xu Le wanted to question her, but there was no way to achieve it.

He also didn't figure out what he had gained after killing Luo Juya, and he couldn't detect it.

Ka Ka Ka! ~
At this time, Nail of Death came out from behind the mother tree, and looked at Xu Le with resentment.

It seems that because Xu Le summoned it to fight the invisible Sola before, the Death Nail was seriously injured.

The carapace on its body was all damaged, and purple blood was shed in many places, which looked quite miserable.

Seeing its resentful eyes, Xu Le suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

However, he still took the initiative to beckon to Nail of Death.

"Master Guardian, thank you very much for your help last time, sincerely thank you."

Kaka!

The Nail of Death began to surround Xu Le. Compared with the contempt before, its attitude towards Xu Le was much better at this time.

Although it has a humanoid head on it, it looks very frightening when it acts like a baby in front of Xu Le.

But Xu Le still resisted the discomfort in his heart, and took the initiative to touch the head of Nail of Death.

"It seems that Master Chi Xiao is no longer here, if that is the case, then I will leave.

But if Chi Xiao-sama will come here, you can let me know through my Ancient Yin Multi Summoning Technique - Forbidden Summoning. "

Kaka!

"Then thank you, Lord Guardian."

After Xu Le finished the conversation, he was suddenly taken aback. The communication between him and Nail of Death seemed to have become unobstructed.

It is no longer driven by ideas, but the real sense of language communication.

Did he understand the language of the evil god?

Try to recall the scene just now, but if you think about it with your head, what Nail of Death said is just a "click".

But when I listened to it at the time, I clearly understood the meaning.

what happened?

"Okay, maybe it's another situation I don't understand well, let's go, Lord Guardian."

Ka Ka Ka!
After Xu Le left the realm of the mother tree, the Nail of Death flew back to the mother tree.

And the mother tree also stretched out a branch towards it, and gently rubbed against the nail of death, as if an adult was comforting a puppy.

……

Back in the real world, Xu Le let out a long sigh of relief.

Anyway, after all, it was Luo Juya who really killed Luo Juya, as a shadow warlock.

Although she showed a variety of powerful escape abilities, such as shadow escape, shadow dance, and shadow shuttle.

But these abilities were basically cracked by Xu Le and the others one by one. Judging from the situation at the time, she should have died completely.

For Xu Le and the others, this is undoubtedly a very good result.

But the battle with Luo Juya also reminded Xu Le and the others.

The oppressive power of level 4 warlocks is much higher than that of level 3 warlocks, and their fighting style and flexibility have undergone a qualitative change to some extent.

If a third-level warlock like Gu Beichen were to face Luo Juya, he might not be enough to kill Luo Juya even ten of them.

"Okay, this is the first step."

Meow!
Seeing that Xu Le was fine, Ding simply jumped out of his arms.

Go to the canned meat that you didn't finish just now.

Xu Le bought these for her when she was visiting the night market. It's been a long time since I ate the food from the lighthouse. It's really a nostalgic taste.

"Hey, Ding Ke, couldn't you talk just now?"

Meow? ~
Ding Ke turned his head to look at Xu Le strangely, but didn't intend to speak.

Xu Le's expression also began to change, he remembered what Ding Ke said at that time?

[I stole something from it? 】

"Have you ever been to the Tower? Have you ever stolen from it? What?"

Meow meow meow?
Ding Ke stared at Xu Le, as if looking at a silly X.

Xu Le and it looked at each other for a while, and finally determined that he might not be able to get the answer from Ding Ke's mouth, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"Hey, I don't know how you became a stray cat."

Xu Le was still very curious about Ding Ke's situation, although he would become delirious when he turned into a cat.

But the power of its body should still be hidden, right?
Why did the situation of turning into a stray cat to pick up trash happen to Ding Ke?

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much. If you hadn't become a stray cat, we probably wouldn't have met each other."

Meow meow!

Touching Ding Ke's head, Xu Le took a deep breath.

Ding Ke's face showed disgust and lovelessness, and it seemed that his evaluation of Xu Le had become...not as good as canned food.

……

The next morning, Xu Le woke up leisurely.

Wang Shu was the guard at the door. As personal guards, he and Alley needed to take turns to take care of Xu Le during this time.

Although Xu Le's strength is very good, most of the time he doesn't even need their protection, and he has protested against their behavior.

However, the existence of warriors can give warlocks more safety distance, so Xu Le's protest is invalid under the combination of Wang Shu and Alley.

After breakfast, Zhou Bi, a member of the Xiacheng district, came to look for Xu Le.

After a brief grooming, Xu Le changed into a suit, and Alley helped him fix his tie.

Although Xu Le doesn't like wearing ties very much, the situation is different today. They should be going to the tower.

He brought everyone including Wang Man to the hotel lobby to meet Zhou Bi.

As soon as we met, a kind councilor from the lower district came over to give Xu Le a hug.

"Mr. Xu Le, did you rest well yesterday?"

"Of course, the environment of the lighthouse is still very good, but I heard that there is a downtown area here. I don't know what the environment of the downtown area is like."

Seeing Xu Le mentioning the downtown area, Zhou Bi smiled slightly, but he didn't know whether it was embarrassment or unfathomable.

"There is a chance, but I'm afraid it won't work today, we're going to the tower for this meeting, and the lower city has not been very peaceful recently.

With the status of Councilor Xu Le in the past, I am afraid that he needs to arrange stricter security. "

"Is that so?" Xu Le showed a curious look, and nodded after a while.

"It's understandable, because we have a similar place in Zion, where we can't take it."

"Hahaha, don't say that, our lighthouse is a society ruled by law."

When Zhou Bi mentioned the rule of law, he emphasized it a bit.

"Of course, our Zion is also a society ruled by law."

The two talked and laughed, and their relationship was very harmonious.

After a simple breakfast at the hotel, Xu Le and the others boarded the car to the tower.

Xu Le and the others are in the same car.

So in the process of heading to the tower, Wang Shu couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Brother Shu, are you worried?"

Wang Shu pondered for a while, and then said:
"I'm afraid that I will have some special reactions within the range of the tower."

As for Wang Shu's situation, everyone here basically knows that he has the gene of the Golden Bright Tree, which belongs to a special aggregate of red moon energy, ancient sound energy, and heart energy.

According to Xu Le's inference before, the Guangjin Guangming Tree itself is a special kind of deformed creature, which is likely to affect Wang Shu.

But then Wang Man brought new information, saying that the light was cast at the top of the tower.

So it's hard for them to say what will happen to Wang Shu in the past.

"Keep a peaceful mind, and you will not be affected by the light, but be careful of the guidance of the light."

Just when Wang Shu and Xu Le didn't know what to do, Wang Man actually made an opinion.

Xu Le's expression was a little puzzled. Wang Man probably didn't know about Wang Shu, right?
"Wang Man, you may not be very clear about Wang Shu's situation."

"I know, I can feel the situation on him, just like those branches." Wang Man said with certainty.

"Same as those branches?" Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly.

The branches that govern the light-forged head?
"Who does the Bright Tree belong to?" Xu Le asked.

"Whoever the light will belong to, the light tree will belong to."

Wang Man's answer was very clear, and Xu Le recalled the Gu Yin Multi-horizon reminder when he met the protagonist of the Illuminati.

[Bishop, Level 3 Weird, Red Moon, God...]

The Illuminati is from the Red Moon system, and the Bright Tree is also from the Red Moon system, but the Lightforge itself is not.

So the purpose of Wang Man's action this time...

"Your thoughts are dangerous, Wang Man."

"You got into my head?" Wang Man teased.

"No, I just think that young people should be down-to-earth."

"That's right, but Brother Xu Le is actually a little bit older than me, just a little bit."

Wang Man pinched her fingernails with an exaggerated expression.

Xu Le is helpless, he needs Wang Man to open the way for himself, after all, he himself knows nothing about Guangming.

But he didn't want Wang Man's purpose to interfere with their actions. The cooperative relationship between the two parties is really complicated!
With that said, the car has stopped in front of the tower.

"Mr. Xu Le, we have arrived."

"Ok."

After getting out of the car, Xu Le tidied up his suit a little bit, and there were many people oncoming.

They applauded Xu Le and said with a smile:

"Welcome, Mr. Xu Le."

"welcome."

"What a young lad."

"As handsome as when I was young."

Zhou Bi pulled Xu Le and began to introduce:

"This is Councilor Lottie from the upper district, Councilor Zhang Mozhi, Councilor Fang Xuan, and this is Councilor Jin Mingzhu from the lower district. As for me, I won't introduce you."

"Hello, Members of Parliament."

Xu Le looked very humble, nodding slightly as he walked.

"Now that you're here, let's go up. It's the first time for Mr. Xu Le to come to the lighthouse. The scenery on the tower is pretty good."

Jin Mingzhu, a congresswoman who is also in the lower city, said to Xu Le with a smile.

Her demeanor was friendly, too, without the underlying arrogance of those uptown.

However, this woman has a smell covered by perfume.

Xu Le glanced at Ai Li who was frowning slightly behind her. It seemed that Ai Li had also smelled it, so I'll ask her later.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Approaching the tower, it is different from Xu Le's imagination. There is no elevator here, only a very long circular staircase, winding up against the inner wall of the tower.

"Mr. Xu Le, go upstairs."

"it is good."
