Chapter 230

Donne, Fiona and Elia appeared directly in the woods.

As soon as he appeared, Donne noticed the amazing arcane energy floating in the air and couldn't help sinking. This level of arcane energy can't be condensed by first-order and second-order spells.

"What magic did you practice?"

Elia was a little guilty, but thinking of the agreement with the big sister, she whispered, "that's the magic missile that big brother taught me before..."

Magic missile

Donne took a breath from the corner of his mouth. If the magic missile could condense such rich arcane energy, wouldn't the arcane star ring become a nuclear bomb?

However, thinking of all the signs when Elijah studied magic before, these are not important. What matters is the identity of the dead.

Donne has noticed the fragmented body bombarded by arcane energy under the tree, and blood and meat are sprayed all over the ground. It's really a pity that Elia didn't frighten her on the spot.

Fiona took a breath of air conditioning: "it's all like this! It's almost the same as the death finger you used at the beginning!"

"Elijah's magic talent, this is normal."

Donne's mood is fairly stable. After all, he had tested his psychological quality when he first crossed over.

Fiona, who has never seen Elia practice magic before, can't underestimate Elia any more.

Fiona thought she was the most gifted person in Ellington except Donne. She was proud for a long time. Unexpectedly, Elia was hidden.

"But now that it's all like this, how can you investigate the identity of the dead?"

"Don't worry, there's a way."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the scattered pieces of meat and cloth flew under the control of magic, and put together the approximate body shape of the dead again.

Donne glanced: "he is about 1.75 meters tall, male and symmetrical, so it can be inferred that life was normal for a long time before he died, at least the kind who can eat enough - not Ellington residents."

"The residents of Ellington can eat enough now."

"But the change of body shape takes a long time. Now you see most people in Ellington, you can still see the thin foundation in the past... The most important thing is -"

Donne twisted a piece of cloth, rubbed it, handed it to Fiona, and whispered, "this cloth is not produced in Ellington, or even in several towns near Ellington."

"In other words, the deceased was an outsider?"

"Outsiders should be registered. If you investigate who is missing, you can know his identity."

"What if you don't register?"

"That's even better," Donne said. "He didn't register and ran around to prove that he had a ghost in his heart. He died when he died. It's easy for us to worry about him."

Fiona thought so and nodded, "I see."

"Wait!"

Donne suddenly frowned, dug out some arrows from the soil, thought for a moment, opened the magic sensor network, and soon found something around him.

There were thirty arrows, a dagger, and several cracked bottles.

Fiona was surprised: "arrow and dagger?"

The arrow body has been blasted to pieces by arcane energy, but the remaining arrows and daggers also reveal a lot of information.

"Some arrows are enchanted, some are broken demons, and some are burst arrows..."

Donne touched the dagger, narrowed his eyes and said, "this dagger is an excellent magic weapon. It not only enchants the magic breaking effect, but also quenches the poison... The residual toxic liquid in the cracked bottle and the healing potion."

"You mean - this man is an assassin!? his target... Elia!?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe it was a coincidence. I met Elijah to practice magic and was injured by mistake."

Donne thought thoughtfully: "but it doesn't rule out this possibility... You go to investigate the outsiders registered these days and check them one by one to see who is missing."

"I see!"

"And," added Donne, "if you can find out who it is, by the way, look at the people with him and see who has the same clothes and cloth as this... Be careful not to act rashly."

"I see!"

"Take this dagger for self-defense. It's a good magic weapon."

Fiona was not polite to Donne. She took the dagger and hurried away with a cautious face.

It's not good news that there are such unidentified people in Ellington.

After Fiona left, Donne squatted down, looked into Elia's eyes and said, "Elia, remember what I told you before, you can't control your power now, so don't practice magic when I'm away, remember?"

Elia nodded, her mouth deflated, and she looked very wronged and wanted to cry.

So Donne had a headache. Looking at such a lovely Elia, he couldn't help blaming her.

However, it is very important to educate children, that is, never indulge, otherwise bear children will sooner or later cause you big trouble that can't be solved.

Donne used the must kill technique - touch the head.

"Elia, do you understand what happened today? Magic, if used correctly, can bring us a convenient life, but if not used correctly, it is a very cruel weapon that will take people's lives. Today is him, and tomorrow is likely to be your favorite sister Elsa, mother Clara, and even me -"

"No! I don't!"

Elia hugged Donne: "big brother, I don't want to learn magic! I don't want to hurt you!"

In case of danger, the first thing is not to face the problem, but to escape. Isn't that true for children?

Donne was relieved to see Elia like this.

If Elia said directly that she would use magic carefully in the future, Donne would be afraid.

"Elia, escape is never the solution."

Donne patted her on the back and whispered, "look at the big brother. After mastering the power of magic, he will become my friend and help me do a lot of things to protect the people around me without hurting them."

"You have unparalleled talent, Elia. You are a born magician. Escaping will only make it more and more difficult for you to master this power. You need to face it, learn it and master it."

Donne looked into her eyes. "Are you afraid that your strength will hurt the people you care about? Then master it and let it serve you. That's what you should do in the future."

Elia was nervous: "can I really do it?"

"Yes, of course you can."

"I can, big brother said I can, I can!"

Donne's encouragement gave Elia endless courage. There was a light in her eyes again, and the whole person recovered her vitality.

"Well, this is my favorite Elia."

Donne breathed a sigh of relief.

Elia said happily, "does big brother like Elia?"

"Of course."

"When Elia grows up, will she be the bride of her big brother?"

“——”

It's a child's joke. Why should I be so excited, asshole!

I'm really not controlled by Laurie!

Dear egwin, where are you!?

If you don't show up, I'll become a pervert!

Donne smiled awkwardly: "wait until you grow up, darling. Now go home and get some sleep. When you get up, nothing will happen."

"Well, goodbye, big brother!"

After all, Elia was still a child, so she didn't think much. She waved at Donne and turned around and bounced home.

After passing by the pieced up corpse, Elia glanced curiously, and a trace of disdain flashed in the depths of her deep eyes - she didn't even find it herself.

After Elia left, Donne pondered for a moment. Instead of burning the body, he collected the body.

Not long after Donne returned to his study, Fiona hurried back.

"I found it."

"Amazing efficiency!"

Donne whistled, "so what's the name of the dead?"

"Durandon."

"What?"

Donne was stunned. "Are you teasing me?"

"It's just a duplicate name," Fiona glared at Donne discontentedly. "Brian registered it. Nokia was also there at that time. They were screening the labor force. They made a joke after hearing the name. They were very impressed."

"And then?"

"There were fourteen people in the same carriage. The carriage started from Bain, and the coachman was old hank, an acquaintance who often went back and forth between Ellington and Bain."

After a pause, Fiona continued: "there are two civilian couples in the carriage, two children, two vagrants in Bain City, and six civilians who get on the bus successively - according to the two couples, the accents of the six people are obviously not near Bain, and they all have obvious nasal sounds, more like the accent of alinks."

"According to the testimony of the tramp, the six people like silence very much. They don't talk much in the carriage for a few days. Although they don't seem to know each other, they occasionally have eye contact. This news is trustworthy - the tramp is very sensitive to the eyes of others."

"Then, on the basis of this testimony, I secretly investigated the six men and found that one of them was missing. This is called Du Landeng. Of course, this is probably a pseudonym."

"From Alex? Well, things seem to be getting interesting."

Donne couldn't help laughing.

Fiona rolled her eyes: "although the other five people were not missing, when I went to them, they didn't eat in the restaurant, but wandered around the town, but their answers were impeccable. They were forced by life to make a living in Ellington."

"Really?"

"Well, the other thing is that the clothes and fabrics of these five people are consistent with the fragments you gave me. It is obvious that the six of them are together, and the purpose of coming to Ellington is not simple."

"You know what."

Donne's eyes were full of ponder: "their behavior reminds me of the word 'stampede'."
