Chapter 433 Trail of Blood
Bang.
There was a crash from behind the door, and then there was silence. It seemed that the infected person who had lost his target returned to wandering aimlessly.
But the five people outside the door had strange expressions on their faces. They looked at each other and found it difficult to accept the changes in front of them.
What's going on?
How did a whole family become infected neatly?
The group of people realized that the portrait they just saw might not have been painted for them by the city lord.
"It's hard, could it be the banquet last night?" Terry was extremely scared, "The food at the banquet also used those new grains?"
"It's not food." Miss Diana said , "I looked and there were bite marks on several people."
"Everyone has it." Lynch added, "And the tooth marks are smaller than ordinary people. It should be done by a child."
Everyone immediately came to the conclusion that the possibility of young master Jack maximum.
"It shouldn't be wrong, and the city lord must also know about it. Maybe he arranged everything, otherwise these people wouldn't be here." Officer Natalie stared at the wooden door, as if thinking through it Guo Mu saw the infected person inside and said, "But why did he kill his daughter and the whole family. Forget about adults, it would be too much to not spare even children."
"To clear weeds, we must clean them from the roots, and to kill them, we must start with the children." Lynch made a cutting motion, but then frowned, "But you can't get rid of your own roots."
"I remembered a rumor. Could it be that the rumor is true?" Terry looked in disbelief. "Young Master Jack died in an accident. He fell to death in an accident while riding a horse. But there have been rumors that it was not an accident. But someone took action against the horse."
"A dispute over inheritance?"
"The main reason is that after having the young master, the adults paid too much attention and seriously neglected the three young ladies. As a result, the ladies are very resentful towards the young master. But after all, they are blood relatives and they should not do such a thing to their biological brothers."
"I'm afraid many people don't think it should be the case." The thousands of years of examples in his hometown are enough to form an army. Lin Qi shook his head and said, "I probably understand. I doubt that the city lord is so obsessed with this matter. , maybe not to resurrect his son, but to allow his son to take revenge with his own hands. He also doesn’t want to decorate a room for little Jack, but to let several murderers accompany little Jack forever.”
"This..." the police officer said in surprise, "this is too crazy."
"Isn't this world crazy enough?" Lynch sighed, "Lock the door and let's retreat."
"Mr. Lynch." The Countess pointed to the wooden door, "Are they just going to ignore it? "
"Leave it to the city lord to deal with it himself, if he can come back."
"What do you mean?" Judy habitually translated Lynch's words into the native language, which shocked Terry. "You said that the Lord of the City is also in danger?"
"In this case, Who else do you think can make the city lord abandon the painting and rush over with a letter, and it’s a letter sent by Rocky.”
“Little Master Jack”
"Or is it the person behind him? No matter who it is, at least now it can be confirmed that the body is definitely not in the City Lord's Mansion." Lin Qi clapped his hands, "We can start tracking, there is only one chance, let us find the person who caused the trouble Someone grabbed him."
"Wait, what should we do?" Terry grabbed Lynch.
“What should I do? Didn’t we all make appointments before?”
The knight rubbed his hands and said rather tangledly, "The city lord is not here, so we can't ask for martial law now."
Lynch looked at Terry with a very strange look, which made him panic. Then he said faintly: "Are you also hallucinating due to the infection? Didn't you see the city lord just now? Didn't he tell you to decide for yourself about the plague? He also told you to do a good job in martial law and control it at all costs. Everyone must cooperate to prevent the plague, and you are authorized to deal with those who refuse to cooperate. Why do you still ask me what to do? "
"Huh?" The knight was stunned, "Is this okay? ”
"Otherwise, when the plague breaks out in the evening, everyone will become a crazy infected person?" Lynch shrugged pretending to be relaxed, "Every minute in the morning, maybe dozens more people can be saved, but this has nothing to do with me. Those people are not our fellow villagers, and there are no relatives or friends of mine among them."
Terry closed his mouth, his expression full of struggle.
“I know that you are a loyal knight and loyal to the city lord, but brother, you are a soldier, and you should know that the military situation waits for no one. There is a saying in the mythical age that when the general is fighting outside, he is the king’s You don’t have to accept the order,” Lynch smiled and softened his tone:
“No one asked you to betray the city lord, you are loyal to him. Now there is a problem in his city that urgently needs to be dealt with, and he is not around and cannot give direct orders. You must assume your due responsibilities, Defend his city for him"
"This..."
"Otherwise he comes back and finds the city destroyed and asks you why you didn't deal with it in time. Are you going to tell him that he can't ask you for instructions because you're not here?"
"I understand, you are right, this is me I am willing to bear the responsibility if you blame me for this in the future."
Terry, the armed knight, took a deep breath and said firmly:
"Sir, I will do everything according to your instructions and do my best to save the citizens. I will leave the rest to you."
Lynch patted Terry on the shoulder: "Don't worry. , we will also shoulder our responsibilities, for the city and for ourselves.”
We solemnly make a commitment, and now it depends on whether Miss Diana’s secret method can trace the traces of old Swain. .
As the main means of combat in the second and third eras, the secret method is actually no more simple than abilities. It is a very complex system, somewhat similar to the magic of the hometown, but more effective using forbidden knowledge and the power of evil gods.
In fact, only a small part of these techniques have simplified versions, and most of them are very complicated to operate. Most of the common occult rituals nowadays are improved from those complicated secret techniques.
The Trail of Blood is one of them. It is not so much a secret method as it is a secret method ritual, which requires a venue, casting materials and rituals.
Fortunately, because Blood Trail originated in the Fourth Age, no one in this era knew about this technique, so there was no need to worry about the opponent making targeted defenses.
So the four of them left the city lord's castle without looking back, returned directly to the safest fortress, greeted Dr. Swain, and found a quiet secret room.
The casting materials are all provided by Dr. Swain, and they are quite complete.
First there is blood, the blood of the direwolf.
This is the best hunter on the ice sheet. It can sense the blood frozen in the cold wind several kilometers away. It uses its blood to carve a six-pointed star array, raising the user's sensitivity to blood to the highest level.
The second is the fangs, the fangs of the blood shark.
This is the best blood seeker in the world. As long as there is a trace of blood dissolved in the sea, he cannot escape the pursuit of the blood shark. Use your will to carry the power of the blood shark and trace the trail of blood in the air.
Miss Diana knelt quietly in the middle of the six-pointed star formation, with green smoke rising from the incense burner in front of her. The countess opened and closed her lips and recited strange incantations in a low voice. As she recited, the green smoke in front of her slowly rotated around her as if it were alive.
Judy sat cross-legged outside the magic circle opposite her, holding the mortar without saying a word, grinding the blood shark's teeth into fine powder, watching the green smoke close into a ring, and then poured the powder Enter the incense burner.
The rising smoke became thicker and thicker, and at the same time, the Countess's chanting suddenly became louder.
Judy opened the bottle of blood without hesitation and dropped the blood into the incense burner.
Whew, the smoke suddenly turned blood red, and as if it was being pulled, it rushed directly in front of Diana and was inhaled by her.
Inspired by the blood and soul of the direwolf, follow the trail of the target's blood in the air to find the target's hiding place.
Miss Diana has stopped chanting, closing her eyes tightly, pursuing the smell of blood.
"I'm here to find you, Mr. Swain, I... found you."
The countess opened her eyes suddenly, with a look of surprise on her face.
“It’s actually there.”
