On the Seven Towers

Li Tianrui had not thought of destroying the Baron's body directly, but even if he wanted to burn the body, he could not dispose of it in the room, so he decided to transport the body out first.

Li Tianrui was afraid that the Baron's body was poisonous, so he called several mages from the mage class, plus himself and Kasha, to use the magic of retrieving objects from the air, lifted the body from the bed, and then transported it out of the room. When the body was lifted up, the black juice oozing from it continued to drip onto the ground, and the weird smell in the air was so strong that it made people dizzy.

They sent the body out of the window and then transported it to the open space on the edge of the Duke's Palace. In the room where the baron died, Kasha called in several mages to clean it with positive energy for more than ten minutes, and then burned it with flames. Then water magic was used to clean up the remaining garbage, and finally wind magic was used to ventilate the place, but the pervasive sour smell never completely dissipated.

As soon as they moved the bodies and took care of the room, several captains of the city guard arrived.

Li Tianrui asked them to see the body of Baron Bocas, but none of them understood what was going on. However, the captains expressed their determination to follow the Chinese. One of them said: "Please don't worry, sir. Bocas must be destroying himself. There are too many magic potions in the world, and he can't use any of them." Strange. I don’t think you need to care. You can do whatever you want with Bocas’ body. Since even the Duke has handed over the city to you, we will support China Tower no matter what happens.”

"Your loyalty will depend on your next performance." Li Tianrui said.

He sent these city guards to accompany his men to maintain law and order. Kasha on the side asked: "Captain, now that they have seen it, are they going to destroy the body of Baron Bocas?"

"Destroy it." This weird corpse always makes Li Tianrui uneasy.

Ka'Sa waved her arm, and a fire snake wrapped around the corpse. The corpse was very moist, so it was difficult to light. Ka'Sa could only keep burning it with flames until the liquid evaporated with a sizzling sound, and then it gradually burned. stand up. It took about twenty minutes for the body to be completely burned to ashes. During this time, Li Tianrui stood silently behind her, watching the smoke and dust floating in the air.

"Captain, Commander!" At this time, Cao Lu ran over and reported: "Two elves are here and want to see you, saying that there is something very important."

————————————

Li Tianrui was startled when he saw two elves in the reception room of the Duke's Mansion, because both of them had a shallow, close-fitting protective cover on their bodies, wrapping them inside.

"My name is Magna," said a female elf whose age could not be discerned. "I am a priest of rain and dew, and also an inspector."

"I am An Lin." Another male elf said, "I am also an inspector, a mage and an alchemist. Are you the new lord here?"

"I will be the chairman of the interim government of Green Forest City. If you are looking for someone to take charge, it is me." Li Tianrui said, "Do you two think my place is unsafe? Do you still need to use a shield to protect yourself?"

"This is not against you, but this city is not safe. No matter who you are, you should act quickly. We have warned Bocas, but he ignored our warnings. I hope you Chinese are different from him." "An Lin said.

"Warn Bocas? Warn what?" Li Tianrui asked.

An Lin said seriously: "We told him the day before yesterday that something evil is awakening in this city, and those who are infected with it will die in pain. But Bocas thinks we are talking nonsense ”

Magna said: "He didn't believe everything we said and kicked us out."

"Evil thing?" Li Tianrui took a step forward and asked, "What exactly is going on? Please tell me in detail."

Magna glanced at An Lin who nodded to him, so she said: "We elves sometimes go out of our own communities and go to the city for a walk. Especially these days, the situation is tense, we need Gather some intelligence. When I was patrolling the city the day before yesterday, I felt a very evil force appear in the house in the northern block. But when I tracked it down, I found that the room was empty and there was no one inside.

But I found some traces of magical experiments and alchemy there, and some dried black liquid from which the evil breath came.

But I haven’t studied much about alchemy, so I can’t tell what the black thing is. "

When Li Tianrui and Kasha heard this, their ominous premonitions became stronger and stronger. They looked at each other and saw the worry in the other's eyes.

"However, as a priest of rain and dew, I am very sensitive to this kind of power. Even among elves, I am the most sensitive one. I followed the weak breath left in the air to search and found that the things in the room were divided into several categories. The roads were placed in different places in the city. However, when I followed them, I found that most of these places were in forbidden areas, some were in the duke's property, some were in important warehouses, and some were in the homes of nobles.

It took me several attempts to get inside and see what it was. I was stopped everywhere. "

An Lin said: "Later, Magna found me and took me to the house, but when we got there together, the house was actually burned. No traces were left."

"So you chose to find Baron Bocas?" Li Tianrui asked.

"That day we first looked for Duke Parsa, but the Duke avoided us. So we could only find Baron Bocas, who has real military power in the city. I heard that he is the Duke's true confidant. I originally thought he could solve some problems, but in fact he was unwilling to do anything." An Lin said.

"No wonder..." Li Tianrui said to himself.

"What?"

"Nothing, please continue."

"But we were unwilling to give up after being rejected. Later, Magna thought of a way. She found a magic prop that enhances her elemental perception, and then used it to find a lighter clue, which stretched all the way to the outside of Green Forest City. Yesterday we followed this clue to go out and visit, and finally discovered a very surprising secret." An Lin said.

Magna said: "We found a village inhabited by humans, but there was a plague in the village and almost everyone died."
