Fang and Tanya entered the Lion Dynasty's capital, as night had already fallen.

Unlike ordinary commercial cities, Thunder Hammer was a city that never sleeps.

Walking into the city, towering street lamps lined both sides of the road.

Fang Yuan looked up and discovered that they were actually magic crystal lamps he had seen on the Floating Island. One should know that this thing used magic stones as its energy source.

Although magic stones were not very useful to formal wizards, they were indispensable items on the path of ordinary wizard apprentices.

No wonder the lion-man guard had shown respect when he knew he was a wizard, but did not show too much fear.

It seemed that wizards were not uncommon here.

"Let's go, we'll go to the hotel first."

Fang Yuan turned his head and ordered. Tanya lowered her head and followed Fang Yuan step by step.

Versailles Hotel.

Fang Yuan looked up, examined the ordinary hotel in front of him, raised his leg, and walked in.

"Are you two here to stay?"

The hotel owner was an old fox-man with long clothes. Fang Yuan had seen fox-man girls on the Floating Island, but this was the first time he had seen an old fox-man.

Fang Yuan curiously glanced at the other party. The hotel owner's face was a little narrow, and with his flattering expression, he looked a little sly.

"Yes, we're here to stay."

Fang Yuan smiled and nodded.

……

The next day.

North of the Lion Dynasty's capital.

This was the civilian gathering area of Thunder Hammer.

Although Thunder Hammer was a very prosperous commercial city, civilians, as the lowest class in this world, lived in very dirty and chaotic places everywhere, except for New Moon City.

Thunder Hammer was no exception.

A large group of civilians surrounded a corpse. The corpse was already disfigured, but judging from his figure, it seemed to be a teenager.

"This is the eighteenth one. This is the capital of the Lion Dynasty. How could this happen?"

"I heard it was done by a dark wizard!"

"Damn dark wizard, Nadia was only seventeen years old. He also has a ten-year-old sister."

A bystander seemed to recognize the deceased's identity through his clothes.

"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to die?"

His companion quickly pulled his arm and whispered. Hearing this, he was shocked. Just now, he had insulted a wizard, and a vicious dark wizard at that. He quickly shut his mouth in embarrassment.

"Make way!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of here, what are you blocking!"

While everyone was talking, several city guards rushed over.

The leader was a werewolf warrior. Judging from his exposed, sturdy chest, he seemed very strong and powerful.

"Hmph, you can't catch the murderer, but you're good at dealing with us."

An orc adventurer said disdainfully. This adventurer, like the leading city guard, was a werewolf.

The werewolf clan, as the largest race among the orcs, had the largest population. Most werewolves were warriors, and few became wizards.

Therefore, although the werewolf clan had the largest population, their status among the orcs was not high and could only be considered mid-to-upper.

The city guard of the same race in front of him was not a noble. As an adventurer who licked blood from the edge of a knife, he was not afraid of the other party at all.

"What did you say?"

The leading city guard glanced at him gloomily, but after seeing the scar at the corner of the adventurer's eye, he shifted his gaze away.

The adventurer sneered when he saw that the city guard was actually frightened by him.

The surrounding civilians clamored, and the anger that had been pent up in everyone's chest for a long time finally erupted.

They couldn't do anything about the dark wizard murderer, but were they afraid of a few city guards? The city guards had the same status as them, they were all civilians, so they weren't afraid.

"Everyone, please be quiet, everyone, please calm down, listen to me."

Ledar felt bitter in his heart when he saw the scene becoming chaotic. He knew this was not a good job.

Strange things had been happening in Thunder Hammer recently. Leaving aside the previous incidents, there had been a series of murders recently, and the victims were all ordinary civilians of Thunder Hammer.

But the fatal thing was here. According to their city guards' speculation, the murderer should be a dark wizard. The key was that the dark wizard's targets were all civilians, not a single noble.

In this way, those nobles would not provoke a dark wizard for the sake of a few civilians.

The entire continent knew about the virtues of dark wizards: collecting souls and experimenting with various evil spells. It could be said that this group of people was notorious throughout the continent.

But so what? The Necromancy Academy, the dark wizards' holy land, was the top overlord on the continent. Who would want to offend it for no reason?

The Black and White Towers had been opposed to it for so long, but they still couldn't do anything to it.

Moreover, this group of dark wizards had extremely strong vengeful minds. If they were offended once, they would always find ways to retaliate.

Unless necessary, no one wanted to offend them.

Therefore, even if a dark wizard killed a few civilians in Thunder Hammer, no one was willing to stand up for them.

As long as this guy didn't do anything stupid like slaughtering the city, the nobles and wizards of Thunder Hammer wouldn't care.

Hearing Ledar's high-pitched voice, the agitated crowd gradually calmed down, and everyone turned their attention to him, seeming to wait for him to give everyone an explanation.

Ledar felt the gazes of everyone and immediately felt the pressure on his shoulders was a little heavy.

In the end, he was just a strong ordinary person. He wasn't even a knight apprentice, so how could he fight against a dark wizard?

"Everyone, listen to me, our city guards will definitely find the murderer and give everyone an explanation."

Ledar loudly assured everyone.

Everyone seemed to believe this guarantee, or seemed to have found a little comfort, and stopped arguing.

In fact, everyone knew that arguing was useless. The murderer was a dark wizard, and the victims were just ordinary civilians. Those nobles in Thunder Hammer didn't care about this kind of trivial matter at all.

Everyone could only pray that the dark wizard wouldn't target them.

Ledar said a few more words to everyone, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Ledar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he saw the crowd dispersing.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Behind Ledar, a subordinate asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Ledar glared at him and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense and go move the body."

Seeing several subordinates carrying the body, Ledar fell into silence.

Go find the dark wizard who was nowhere to be found?

Not to mention whether Ledar and others could find him, but even if they did find him, what would happen? Add a few more corpses of city guards?

Ledar shook his head, blaming them for being unlucky. Thinking this, Ledar prepared to leave.

"U-Uncle, can you let me see my brother?"

Ledar followed the voice and lowered his head, stunned when he saw a small girl.

The girl was about ten years old, her small face was frozen red in the cold wind, and the erect ears on her head indicated her rabbit race identity.

Immediately, Ledar turned his head, glanced at the body that had been put into the shroud, squatted down, and said to the little girl: "Let's not look at it, okay?"
