Chapter 804

"Gnaeus is dead!"

Ren was stunned when he got the news from his clone in Glamorgan, he couldn't believe it, and he was caught off guard.

A month ago, the Archon was fine.

Gnaeus was a powerful man of the holy rank, and he was in his prime, so it was impossible for him to die suddenly for no reason. Moreover, he is a 23rd-level sword master, and his own strength is extremely powerful. He is always protected by the Rick Guards, and the difficulty of assassinating him is no less than that of assassinating a holy soul wizard.

However, the news was sent by the teacher using a magic message, so Ryan couldn't believe it.

He immediately came out of the mechanical alchemy room and teleported back to Glamorgan. When he arrived at the Wedzeland Tower, he found that the teacher had entered the projection room and had a secret conversation with other holy soul wizards.

For some unknown reason, the teacher closed the door of the projection room to prevent others from prying eyes.

Ren waited for a moment.

Anse Wodos's voice came from the projection room: "Ren, please go to Northril for me and see the scene for yourself. The incident happened at Osop Manor in West Mountain."

"is teacher."

Ren immediately set off and teleported to Maringa Manor in Northriel.

It is now afternoon, and Viola went out with a team of Ultramarines to protect her. Maringa Manor is still peaceful. Obviously, the news of the consul's sudden death has not yet spread.

He greeted the housekeeper and asked, "Ms. Abigail, where is Alsop Manor?"

Abigail froze for a moment, and quickly said the address.

"Thank you." Ren nodded.

Then, under her surprised gaze, Ren teleported directly and disappeared.

Maringa Manor is also at the foot of West Mountain. This is the most famous wealthy area in the empire. It is located in the western suburbs of Northriel. The dignitaries and rich people have built manors and villas here. The environment is quiet. , the scenery is pleasant.

Ossop Manor is one of the top manors in West Mountain, but its reputation is not obvious, and its owner is also very mysterious, and few people have seen it.

Ren was high above the sky and found Osop Manor at a glance.

It has been surrounded layer by layer by the Rick Guards, and there are a large number of people walking around inside the manor. In addition to the Rick Guards, there are also holy swordsmen in silver armor, Northriel's exorcists, and many powerful wizards, including several old acquaintances.

Teleported again, Ren appeared in the courtyard of the manor.

"who?"

Ren's figure startled the surrounding Rick guards, and they raised their weapons and soul guns one after another like frightened birds.

After seeing Ren's appearance clearly, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chairman Ryan!"

There was almost no one in the empire who didn't know Ren, and hurriedly saluted him respectfully.

Although Ren is not yet a holy soul wizard, in people's minds, his status is already comparable to that of a holy soul wizard, and his prestige is even higher than that of several low-key holy soul wizards.

Ren nodded, stepped across the messy lawn and walked into the hall.

He frowned slightly. As soon as he entered the manor, "Elephant Trunk Technique" smelled a disgusting smell of blood, and instantly found the source of the smell. His all-seeing eyes penetrated the wall, and his eyes froze for a moment. I saw an extremely terrifying scene.

"Gnaeus is really dead..."

Ren was in a complicated mood, and this unexpected change completely disrupted his plan.

He couldn't figure out how to respond for a while, and entered the hall, there were already several people inside, and they were sent by the Holy Soul Wizards just like himself.

Master Otiluk, student of Master Tim Kenan, Andro, student of Silver Star Duke, Alamantha, student and lover of Queen of Storms, Sidney Rickman, vice president of Bluewaters College, Kelanna, a student of the Great Sage of Congerald.

These are members of Nether's supervisory team.

Everyone will meet once a quarter, and they are very familiar with each other. When they saw Ren come in and nodded, they didn't speak.

"Rain."

Hesktor, the commander of the Rick Guards, stood in the middle of the hall. This holy man, a powerful black knight and dragon knight, looked haggard at the moment, and his strong body over two meters tall revealed a bit of uneasiness.

He said hello and said, "Wait for a while, we will check the scene after everyone arrives."

Soon, two more people arrived at the manor.

Ren was unfamiliar with these two, but he could guess their identities.

One is a psyker at level nineteen at the peak of legend, with a medium build and a young appearance. He is Kelstone's most outstanding student, Montalin. His reputation in Pallas Floating City is second only to the Duke of Redstone himself, and he often replaces the teacher Manage the floating city.

Montalin jumped into the hall from far away, and looked at Ren at first glance, with a cold expression, and he did not hide the hostility in his eyes.

There was no fluctuation on Ren's face.

He was more interested in the witch who came in from behind. She had long silver hair, a tall figure, and a beautiful appearance. Holding a magic wand, although her expression is calm at the moment, it can be seen that she is usually a sunny and lively woman.

With this appearance and temperament, one doesn't need to guess that she is one of the seven sisters.

However, most of the people present did not know each other.

"My name is Dove Ruisuo, that old man called me." The silver-haired witch introduced herself briefly after entering.

Everyone immediately understood.

Among the holy soul wizards, the only one who most fits the image of a "bad old man" is Master Wantusri Huo Huai. This witch didn't say that she was someone from Master Huo Huai, but the relationship should be very close, otherwise she would not be sent here.

Ren observed with the eyes of the soul.

Dove is also a wizard of thousands of spells, the pinnacle of the nineteenth-level legend. She is also a part-time elemental shooter, and as expected, she is also the chosen one of the goddess of magic. She has silver fire and is quite powerful.

Her perception was very keen, she looked back at Ren, and looked at Ren with a scrutiny, with curiosity in her eyes.

Apparently Dove hadn't heard Wren's name out of the mouths of her sisters any less.

"Everyone."

Hesktor said in a deep voice: "You all already know that His Excellency the Consul died in Ossop Manor last night..."

"The consul is dead?" Dove's eyes widened with shock.

"Miss Dove doesn't know yet?" Hesktor was stunned.

"I just happened to be in Northriel recently, and the old man suddenly sent me a magical message, asking me to come here, without saying what happened." Dove was still in extreme shock. The atmosphere was not right, I guessed that something big would happen, but I didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

"The old man tricked me!"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come." Dove came back to her senses, gritted her teeth and muttered, obviously she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

Hesktor pretended not to hear, "Everyone please follow me."

He led everyone through the hall to the back garden. The well-manicured garden has a large area. Even in the early winter season, there are a lot of flowers blooming, which is too beautiful to behold. However, it has been trampled to pieces by the Rick Guards. Messy.

There is a three-story attic in the middle of the large garden, which should be dedicated to viewing flowers.

Outside the attic, a team of Rick Guards formed a human wall cordon, as well as the Holy Swordsman of the Justice Church, who were carrying out a carpet search, not letting go of any clues.

The closer they got to the attic, the stronger the smell of blood that everyone could smell.

Everyone's expressions became serious.

"Open the door."

Hesktor stepped forward and gave an order, and the two legendary iron guards pushed open the hall on the first floor of the attic, revealing the scene inside.

Immediately, a rotten smell mixed with the smell of blood came from behind the door.

The faces of the wizards changed wildly.

The first floor of the attic has an area of ​​several hundred square meters. It was originally decorated very elegantly and luxuriously, but there is a diamond-shaped altar in the center of the room. The altar, which is more than half a meter high, was obviously brought in from the outside. It is made of a kind of black stone. Carved with rows of strange runes.

On the altar, lay a dead body.

The internal organs of the corpses were pulled out and placed on the edge of the altar, and the limbs were also dismembered, piled together and arranged in a strange shape. The head is still there, but the scalp has been peeled off, and the flesh on the face has been plucked clean, exposing the white bones, leaving only the skull connected to the body.

Countless blood flowed from the corpse and spread to the entire altar, filling the runes engraved on it with blood.

On the chest of the corpse, there is an open book.

In the room, there were dozens of corpses treated in the same way. Fragments of human bodies, internal organs and bones were arranged in terrifying shapes.

The ground was doused with blood, and the blood coagulated into thick black lumps.

On the walls and ceiling, there are dense blood runes everywhere. They are twisted and weird, with fangs and claws, like graffiti when insane, and a few words can be barely recognized, which seems to be the teachings of an evil god.

The evil breath was so strong that it almost condensed into substance.

This room is more terrifying and chilling than the abyss hell.

If an ordinary person sees this scene, he may go crazy in an instant with just one glance. The legendary wizards standing outside the door also felt their souls tremble.

"Sacrifice ceremony!"

Alamantha, the student of the Storm Queen, screamed.

The faces of the others were also very ugly. Dove couldn't help covering her nose and almost spit it out.

Otiluk recognized it with a glance, and said in a deep voice, "This is Roxi's sacrificial ceremony. The altar and the wall are written with the teachings of this lunatic, and that book is Roxi's book."

The wizards all nodded.

Ren recognized it when he entered the manor.

I am familiar with this scene. Seven years ago, when I first traveled to Ellen Erth, in the basement of the manor outside Longshande City, I also encountered a sacrificial ceremony of Luoxi, and because I killed Esper who held the sacrifice Ge, he has been marked by disputes.

But this time, the scale and specifications of the sacrifice were much higher than those of that year!

All the sacrifices are supernatural beings.

The corpse on the altar is none other than Gnaeus!

Even though the corpse was cut into pieces until it was almost invisible, the all-seeing eye could still tell from the characteristics of some parts of the corpse and the residual lightning aura that he was Gnaeus, not someone else pretending or impersonating him. Can never go wrong.

Ren was silent in his heart.

Gnaeus has a good relationship with himself. He is an ambitious person, a powerful man of the holy rank, and the three-time consul of the empire. It is really unbearable to end up in such a miserable end.

Most importantly, Gnaeus' soul was sacrificed to Roche.

After his death, not only would he not be able to ascend to the Divine Kingdom of the Goddess of Magic, but he would be tortured by Luoxi forever, which was even more tragic than death.

Those who can preside over such a large sacrificial ceremony are definitely not ordinary Luoxi believers.

At least it is also a holy rank powerhouse, and there is a high probability that many holy rank powerhouses will make a move together, and they have been planning for a long time.

The legendary wizards stood outside the door, not daring to step in.

This is reserved for the scene.

Ren broke the silence and asked, "When did you find out?"

"When it's almost dawn."

Hesktor replied, "I informed the Supreme Council as soon as I got the news. Several holy soul wizards came to see it in the morning. Your Majesty Lusper and the three arbitrators have already gone in and checked several times to confirm the murderer They are followers of Luoxi, not framed and blamed."

Ren nodded slightly. The Justice Church is an expert in eradicating evil. The Pope has already confirmed the murderer, so there is basically no mistake.

"It's Luo Xi's disciple again!" Dove said bitterly.

The legendary wizards were also extremely angry.

No matter what faction they stand on, everyone is a believer in the Imperials and the Goddess.

Roxi the Deceiver, this evil god is the number one enemy of the goddess, and the evil god most hated by all the people of the empire. His believers lackeys, the two evil organizations "Dark Sun" and "Shadow Blade", have committed countless heinous crimes in the empire, and the blood feud cannot be washed away.

Now even the imperial consul has been assassinated and sacrificed to Luoxi.

It is conceivable that once the news spreads, how much shock it will cause to the empire, and it will also be a painful blow to the hearts of the people of the empire.

"This time, I can't bear it!"

"We must come back with revenge!"

The legendary wizards suppressed their anger, and Andro asked: "Commander Hescotor, the Imperial Guard, Demon Slayer, and the Church of Justice have been investigating for a long time, and haven't found any clues about the murderer?"

"No." Hescotor shook his head slowly.

Immediately, the legendary wizards were a little dissatisfied and wanted to ask questions, but because Hesktor was a holy rank powerhouse with a high position and authority, they hesitated for a while.

Ren didn't care about this, and asked directly: "Commander Hescotor, where were you last night? Why didn't you follow the consul?"

The Reik Guard's duty is to protect the Archon.

As the commander of the Praetorian Guards and Gnaeus' confidant, Hesketor didn't find out that the consul was dead until dawn. This is a serious dereliction of duty!

A majestic shadow force surged within Hesktor's body, and his eyes became pitch black.

The aura of the holy powerhouse made the wizards retreat.

Ren stood motionless on the spot, his body suddenly swelled to a height of three meters, with lightning flashing on his skin, and he stared down at Hesktor from a height, and a more terrifying force easily suppressed him.

The faces of the Rick Guards and the legendary wizards all changed drastically, and they retreated further away.

"What are you hiding?"

Ren's voice was like thunder, shaking people's eardrums.

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, Hesktor's irritability subsided instantly, he hesitated for a few seconds, and then replied: "Ossop Manor is the secret residence of the Consul. Ms. Lino stayed here for one night and asked me not to follow."

"I have reported these to His Majesty Lusper, and I have no intention of hiding them."

He looked up at the giant Ren, his eyes were very surprised, but his face was calm, and he sighed: "I just feel guilty for failing to protect Your Excellency the Consul. Speaker Ren, please don't misunderstand."
