Chapter 211 Liquidation
"What, he died of illness?!" On the top floor of Master Siris Tower, his beard and hair were all white, but the energetic Deng Lao O'Kenley's pupils shrank, and he lost his previous calm posture. .
His voice was slightly louder, "How is it possible that the news I received before departure is still alive and well?"
"Yes." Sher Ian smiled. He lowered his head and wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead with his hand.
He felt that he had never been so stressed in his life.
"He died of illness just three days ago, and the college held a funeral for him yesterday." He explained carefully.
"Died of illness three days ago." Dunlao O'Kenley murmured
With the strength of the O'Kenley family, helping a three-ring mage to live for decades, as long as he is willing Paying the price is not a problem.
But He Xi is dead, so it’s completely different.
Resurrection and life extension are two completely different fields, and the difficulty is even more different.
Dunlae O'Kenley didn't know if there was any way to bring the dead back to life.
But he knew that this method did not exist in the Oakenley family.
So, faced with the news that He Xi had died of illness, even he was powerless to save his life.
Only three days away, just three days earlier, we can catch up
If it is three months, three years, or thirty years, Dunlae O'Kenley's mood fluctuates It won't be as big as it is now.
But it happened to be three days.
They were only three days late.
If Ron O'Kenley could have discovered the scroll that Ho Xi left in Lingsi Building three days earlier
Or if Ron O'Kenley had submitted information about the scroll The report can pass the review and transfer steps and reach the Rune Workshop three days earlier.
Or Rickon O'Kenley can open the report submitted by Ron O'Kenley three days earlier
Or maybe they can find traces of Jose O'Kenley three days earlier.
Even they can be more efficient on the road.
As long as one of so many steps is done , you can catch up.
There were obviously so many opportunities for them to catch up in these three days, but they missed every link perfectly.
Thinking like this, there was a trace of unwillingness and regret in Dunlae O'Kenley's eyes.
He was lost in thought.
Deng Lao O'Kenley didn't speak, and everyone else also fell silent.
The scene suddenly fell into a somewhat suppressed silence.
"He Xi is an important member of the O'Kenley family. Although we arrived a step too late and he has already left, but the fallen leaves have returned to their roots, we must also take his body back to Linhai City." Finally, Deng Lai ·Okunley spoke again and gave instructions to the family mage behind him.
"Received, Elder Deng Lai." The two robed mages following Deng Lai said respectfully.
"In addition, according to the information collected by this family, Hexi serves as the director of the rune department at Seris College, and has been dedicated to studying 'rune logic and calculation' in his rune workshop all year round."
Instructions After finishing Jose's funeral, Dunlae O'Kenley turned his head again, looked at Shel Ian, and said slowly:
"Although he is gone, the research materials of these years should still be there. , please take me to see it first, we have to take this information with us as well."
After finishing his words, Denglai O'Kenley found that Shel Ian lowered his head and did not respond. He was even more motionless and had no intention of leading the way.
"Huh?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Shel, cooperate with Master Dunlai Oakenley's actions!" Deputy Commander Helen, who was originally responsible for leading the way, saw this scene and quickly shouted.
He also thought that Shere Ian was concerned about his presence here and did not dare to introduce people from other forces to the rune workshop of Sires Academy that had belonged to the Holy Empire without his consent. .
Faced with the dual pressure of Helen and Deng Lai, Shel Ian finally wriggled his lips and spoke with difficulty: "Master Deng Lai, the rune workshop of Director He Xi, the commander of Helen's army, It was blown up three days ago, and all the information inside was wiped out."
Denglai O'Kenley's pupils shrank again.
"Blowed up?" he confirmed.
"It was blown up." Shel Ian had never felt so powerless.
"How could it blow up if it was fine?" Dunlae O'Kenley took a deep breath and asked word by word.
Shell Ian hesitated for a moment, understanding that in front of such a big shot, lies would only be exposed quickly, so it would be better to tell the truth from the beginning.
"Director He Xi purchased a large amount of raw materials for rune construction in his last year. I think he should have used these raw materials to create multiple sets of third-level rune constructions. I want to take these rune constructions back to the academy."< br>
“It’s just that before Director He Xi left, he left all the inheritance, including the secret orders of the rune workshop and the workshop array, to his students. Without the secret order, I would not be able to enter the workshop and obtain it. Those runic constructs.”
"As a last resort, I had to invite Quincy Urser to help break the magic circle set up by Director He Xi."
"As a result, Quincy Urser did not operate it well, causing the magic circle to trigger itself." The design was directly detonated.”
Shell Ian slightly modified the truth to beautify his own purpose, while intentionally or unintentionally directing the main responsibility and hatred towards Quincy Usher.
After listening to Shel Ian’s confession, Dunlae O’Kenley narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shel Ian, not knowing what he was thinking.
"He Xi left all his inheritance to his students?" He finally asked, his tone calm, as if nothing happened.
"Yes" Shel Ian said weakly, having some bad premonitions in his heart.
“Please invite He Xi’s students over. Since they are He Xi’s students, they can be considered as one of our Oakenleys.”
“In addition, please help to bring those students over. Quincy Urser also called, and finally, he sent me the list of raw materials for the runes purchased by Ho Xi in his last year, so that I could take a look."
"You won't. Tell me again, then He Xi's students were also blown up." Deng Lai looked at Sher Ian coldly.
Xie Er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, He Xi's student is still alive and well. I will send someone to invite him here."
After speaking, he quickly called his subordinates and gave them instructions.
"You should also follow and keep an eye on them." Deputy Commander Helen also vaguely felt that something was going wrong today. Seeing Shel Ian's subordinates leaving, he waved to the one beside him. The legion mage ordered softly.
After waiting for about half an hour.
Quincy Urser arrived sweating with a list of materials.
A middle-aged mage came with him.
The legion mage who followed quickly reported the specific situation to Deputy Commander Helen through the [Messaging Technique].
"Are you He Xi's student?" The moment he saw the two of them, Dunlae O'Kenley asked the middle-aged mage in a friendly manner.
"I am not" the middle-aged mage said weakly: "I am the jailer of the mage prison in St. Sean City"
"What does this mean?" Dunlae O'Kenley His brows furrowed again and again, feeling that the anger in his heart was almost unbearable.
Even Deputy Commander Helen felt a little speechless when he saw this scene.
Having just learned the specific situation from his subordinates' report, he took a step forward and explained to Dunlae O'Kenley:
"He Xi's students have been refusing to reveal the secret order, and then the law in the rune workshop... After the array exploded, they did not find the rune constructs in the rune workshop, so they suspected that He Xi also left the rune constructs to his students."
"The student refused to admit it."
“This group of people simply found a random excuse to imprison He Xi’s students in the Saint-Sean City Master Prison, hoping to torture them to extract confessions.”
“Now then Where is the man? Let him go quickly and bring him here." Facing Helen, Deng Lai gave him a little face.
"He has been released a long time ago," Helen said helplessly. Even he felt that the development of things today seemed too outrageous and ridiculous.
“After our army incorporated the Principality of Xi’en into its own province, the commander of the army announced an amnesty in order to calm people’s hearts as quickly as possible.”
“He Xi’s students were taken advantage of because of the amnesty. Let it go.”
Shel Ian’s eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
Since the Holy Empire occupied the Principality of Xi'en, the previous battle for the throne has lost its meaning.
Naturally, he no longer cared about the rune construction that was closely related to the battle for the throne.
So Sher had always thought that Gothe was still in prison before just now.
Deng Lao O'Kenley laughed angrily when he heard this.
Looking for He Xi, it turned out that He Xi died of illness three days ago. Looking for the information left by He Xi, it exploded.
The student who was looking for He Xi was lost.
Twists and turns are nothing more than this.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said to Helen: "The manpower I brought this time is limited. Can you please trouble Helen's army commander to send manpower to help find this newly released man? He Xi’s student soon. By the way, what’s his name?”
“Gaode, his name is Gaode,” Helen answered, “No problem, Master Deng Lai, I’ll send someone to search for you right away.” The whole city, I believe we will be able to bring Gothe to you soon.”
“Okay, thank you.” Quincy Urser, who looked embarrassed.
He waved at first, and the mage of the Oakenley family who followed behind him stepped forward and took the list of materials brought by Quincy Usher.
Then, he asked in a cold voice: "You were the one responsible for deciphering the magic circle set up by He Xi, causing the magic circle to explode and destroying the information stored in the rune workshop?"
< br>The big cold sweat was dripping from Quincy Urser's forehead.
"Yes" he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, and then he was about to explain something, "I"
"Take it away." Dunlae O'Kenley said coldly, no Give Quincy Usher any chance to explain.
The coldness in his eyes had already announced the end that Quincy Urser was about to face.
The anger accumulated in Dunlae O'Kenley's heart today needs an outlet.
And Quincy Urser is the unlucky man who bears his wrath.
But there is not necessarily only one unlucky person.
"My lord, my lord" Quincy Usher, as a human spirit, naturally felt the undisguised murderous intention of Dunlae O'Kenley, and quickly shouted in panic, wanting to beg for mercy.
"Noisy!" Deputy Commander Helen scolded.
The next moment, no matter how wide Quincy Usher opened his mouth, he could not utter even a little bit of begging for mercy. All that was left was a muffled whimpering sound, as if he had become mute, like a dead dog. Was dragged out.
Seeing that everything was over here, the mage of the O'Kenley family held the list of raw materials purchased by Ho Xi and presented it to Dunlae O'Kenley.
Deng Lai took the list of materials and glanced at it casually. As he read down a few lines, his eyes that were still angry and murderous suddenly lit up.
"This is."
Soon, Deng Lai put down the list of materials and already had the answer in his mind.
As the elder of the Oakenley family, he is naturally a well-informed and powerful mage.
He has already seen that many of the materials listed on the material list are advanced materials that are needed to make fourth-level rune structures.
But He Xi is only a three-ring mage.
The meaning behind it becomes clear once you think about it deeply.
Just as they thought, nearly three hundred years after leaving the O'Kenley family, Jose O'Kenley was still studying and improving the "Six Basic Rules of Runes" that was still in its first draft.
And it has obviously been achieved, and a quite bold attempt is being made.
As for whether it has already succeeded or is close to success, it is not yet known. We need to see the final product to get the answer.
There is no doubt that the key point now is the student to whom He Xi is willing to entrust all his inheritance.
Another hour passed.
There is no doubt about the ability and efficiency of the Legionnaires of the Holy Empire.
Soon, another mage from the Holy Empire hurried in and respectfully reported the situation to Helen.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Helen’s eyes flashed with surprise.
He considered the language for a moment, and then said to Deng Lai: "Master Deng Lai, that Gauteur, after being released from prison, first went to the branch of your Oakenley Chamber of Commerce in St. Sean City. I don’t know the specific purpose. You need to understand it yourself. After all, it is the property of your Oakenley family."
"After leaving the Oakenley St. Sean City Branch. , he left the city directly, and his whereabouts cannot be traced yet, it will take some time.”
Helen was talking about a certain amount of time.
Because he did not think that with the strength and power of their Ice Flame Legion, they would not be able to find a first-level mage.
“Go to the St. Sean City branch of my family?” Dunlae O’Kenley raised his eyebrows and guessed the answer in an instant.
"I must have gone to get something." He turned to the family mage aside and whispered a few words.
"I understand." The family mage clasped his hands in his fists, bowed and backed away.
A quarter of an hour later, the mage of the O'Kenley family who had just exited came back. He still respectfully approached Dunlae O'Kenley and carefully reported the report.
The next moment, Dunlae O'Kenley, who was still immersed in anger, seemed to have heard some great good news, and his whole eyes lit up.
"Okay!" He said hello twice, and his expression finally softened a lot.
"Then we have to ask Commander Helen to help find this Gothe. I will soon mobilize our manpower to join the investigation." Denglai O'Kenley said.
“This person is very important to us Okunley.” He said solemnly.
"No problem, leave it to us. We will help you find this Gaode in one day at the earliest and three days at the latest." Helen assured with confidence.
"As for you..." The serious matter at hand came to an end for the time being, and Deng Lai finally had the time to turn his gaze back to Scheer, who had always had a low eyebrow.
“A dean of a college covets the inheritance of the college tutor. Although it is useless and embarrassing, it is none of my business, but you are trying to covet the inheritance of the children of this family...” he said coldly. .
"How does Captain Helen think we should deal with such a greedy and lawless person?" Then, Deng Lai turned to ask Helen.
"He should be put in prison and receive punishment." Helen said righteously.
"That's it." Deng Lai nodded slightly, then turned and walked away, not even looking at the ashen-faced Shel Ian.
Three days later.
The 28th of the Frost Moon.
"How come you can't find it?" Dunlae O'Kenley's voice rang in the beautifully decorated room.
Helen looked embarrassed, but also deeply puzzled: "That Gaode has completely disappeared since he left the city."
"We checked hotels in all surrounding cities, as well as fleets and ships, and found no trace of him. We couldn't find this person at all. It was as if he disappeared from this world out of thin air."
Deng Lai narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said calmly: "I know, I'd better trouble Commander Helen."
"I will let people continue to investigate. Once there is any News, I will inform you immediately," Helen added.
“It’s time to work.” Deng Lai didn’t refuse.
After that, Helen said goodbye and left.
After Helen left, the family mage who came from Linhai City with Deng Lai walked in from outside the door and respectfully reported:
"Same. Still not found."
That's it. For important matters, Deng Lao O'Kenley would definitely not place all his hopes on Helen. He would also report the situation to the family immediately and ask the family to mobilize their forces to help find Goude.
But the result is the same.
“The Oakenley Chamber of Commerce’s business is spread throughout the Nolan Continent, and branches are opened in various countries. Tell me, can you actually make a first-level mage disappear without a trace under your nose?” Dun Lao could not accept this result.
"We also want to know how he did it."
"I don't care how he did it, I just know that I have to find him!" Dunlae O'Kenley said every word. He paused.
Because, he has found out that the items Gothe took out from the bronze treasure house of the Oakenley Chamber of Commerce before leaving St. Sean City were stored by Jose Okenley.
That is a set.
Fourth level rune construction!
