MTL - Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit-Chapter 205 A reminder of the lava lord cocoon?
"Boom boom boom!"
September 18.
Dawn had just illuminated Wind's Rest City when Li Feng was woken up by knocking on the door.
Putting on his clothes, he went downstairs to open the door. Li Feng saw that it was Kestrel.
Kestrel looked tired and his clothes were not very clean, but he was very excited.
Seeing Li Feng open the door, his first sentence was:
"Rhein, you must not have imagined that Jory is dead."
Li Feng: …
Thinking about Haizan's report at night, Li Feng complained in his heart, I actually knew a little earlier.
"Jory? How did this happen? Who killed him?"
Thinking about how he was sleeping just now, Li Feng tried his best to put on a dazed expression, and asked Kestrel to go in and talk.
"I just came back from Storm's End, and I don't have any clues yet."
Kestrel entered the living room of Li Feng’s house and sat down, then continued worryingly and seriously:
"However, Jory's death may be related to the bloodless body you found in the reef cave.
I'm not sure yet, but if there is a relationship, something big might happen to Wind's Rest. "
"What's the meaning?"
Li Feng asked while pouring tea for Kestrel.
At the same time, he was sure that things were developing as he expected.
Like a busy night, Kestrel drank the water in the glass in one gulp, and told Li Feng what happened last night:
"Last night, Jory's attendants found that Jory had gone to the bathroom for a long time and hadn't returned, so they went to look for it.
But in the end, they searched all around the square, but they couldn't find Jory.
At that time, someone felt that something was wrong, so they informed the soldiers of Storm's End, and they began to search in Storm's End.
I was also there at the time, knowing that there must be many things involved in this matter, so I brought my colleagues from the White Maple Manor to find Jory.
But it was very strange. I could confirm at that time that Jory was definitely not on any street in Wind's Rest.
But something weird happened, just when everyone was looking for him, but no one found him.
Jory unexpectedly appeared in front of the statue of the Seven Gods on the square.
Of course, he appeared dead, in the form of a corpse.
But the problem is that no one saw how Jory's body appeared in front of the statue at that time. Just now, a group of Storm's End soldiers passed by there.
Jory's corpse appeared in front of the statue of the Seven Gods just like that.
But, this is not the most shocking..."
Seeing that Li Feng was a little dazed, Kestrel planned to tell all the truth in one go.
"Most shockingly, Jory's body was extremely pale.
When I saw him, I suddenly remembered the bloodless corpse in the rock cave you mentioned in your letter.
Taking advantage of the crowd, I did a preliminary inspection and found that there was indeed no blood in Jory's body. "
"Is there no blood?"
Li Feng had a surprised expression thinking of something.
"It was too messy at the time, but I'm basically sure."
Kestrel replied.
He frowned, starting to feel a little worried.
The people in the reef cave, as well as Jory, died in a very special way, obviously related to some dark and forbidden spells.
If this is the case, then can it be explained that in Wind's Breath City, there is a Transcendent who is contaminated with forbidden spells lurking.
Moreover, this person originally only hunted and killed ordinary people, but just last night, he killed the favorite illegitimate son of Governor Fell.
Kestrel didn't know why that person did this, because it was obviously a provocation.
Under the full investigation of Storm's End, that person will obviously be very dangerous.
This is not logical.
And there is another thing that makes Kestrel a headache. There is an unknown transcendent with obvious malice hidden in the city of Wind's Breath.
"The spells that require a lot of blood are mostly forbidden spells of the Soul Eater.
That is to say, in Wind's Breath City, there is hidden a Soul Eater contaminated with forbidden spells. "
Kestrel made a conclusion, and then began to think about what he knew, the Soul Eater who was contaminated with forbidden spells.
'Soul Eater...'
Facing the morning light coming in from the window, Li Feng took a sip of tea.
Last night, he listened to the ins and outs from Haizan's perspective, and this morning, he listened to the follow-up from Kestrel's perspective.
It was a bit confusing, but in the end his goal was achieved.
Before this, no one knew that there were soul eaters lurking in Wind's Breath City, but now, at least the Ring of the Earth knows.
A few days ago, the young dragon wanted to avenge the real Sia, and Haizan found the bloodless corpse in the reef cave.
Li Feng guessed that the bloodless corpse was caused by the Soul Eater to maintain the fusion of souls.
But out of the need to hide his own strength, Li Feng couldn't tell this matter.
It just so happened that Xi Ya planned to kill Jory for revenge, so Li Feng thought.
Why not take this opportunity to pretend that Jory's death was done by Soul Eater.
In this way, the existence of Soul Eater in Wind's Breath City is known to everyone.
First, the Ring of the Earth will know, and so will the King.
Secondly, seeing his favorite son die in such a way, I don’t know how the governor who cooperated with the soul eater will react.
Li Feng is still looking forward to this point, because it can prove many things.
As for how to disguise.
Hizan and his minions are trolls, though not soul eaters tainted with forbidden spells.
But imitating a soul eater to kill and draw blood is still easy for trolls who are familiar with various cruel secret arts.
Yesterday, Li Feng heard from Xi Ya that there seemed to be something strange about the prismarine used for the statue of the Seven Gods.
Although the two of them didn't figure out why yesterday, Li Feng suddenly had an impromptu idea.
He told Haizan to throw Jory's body in front of the prismarine.
As for whether there will be other effects, Li Feng can't guess, but it doesn't matter.
But for now, this move has made the whole thing even more foggy.
"If you see Jory's body, can you confirm that he died from the same cause as the person you saw in the reef cave?"
After a brief silence, Kestrel explained the purpose of his trip.
Kestrel has never seen the bloodless corpse in the reef hole.
So in order to ensure that the murderer who killed Jory was the same person who killed him and dumped his body in the rock cave, he needed to ask Li Feng to confirm.
"Although I don't really understand these things, if I see them again, I should be able to tell."
Li Feng nodded to confirm, then he seemed to think of something again, and casually mentioned it to Kestrel:
"My favorite child died, Governor Fell must be very sad, right?"
"The governor is extremely angry, last night Storm's End became a mess."
Kestrel said in an understandable tone:
"Last night, after seeing Jory's body, Governor Fell stopped letting anyone get close to Jory."
"Keep no one near?"
Li Feng captured the key points.
Keeping no one close is because of grief?
Or was it because he didn't want people to speculate that there was a Soul Eater in Wind's Breath who was involved in forbidden spells through the cause of Jory's death?
Wanting to clarify this point, Li Feng seemed to be confused, so he asked:
"Why? Not even the Knights of Storm's End, or the Ring of the Earth?"
"Um."
Kestrel obviously didn't think so much, he nodded and said with emotion:
"Probably because of the deep affection."
"that's true."
Li Feng followed suit, and he refilled the glass of water for Kestrel, and then said casually:
"However, I think that there must be some clues on the corpse that are useful for catching the murderer.
Hearing this, Kestrel paused holding the cup.
…
"Mathus! Did your people do what Jory did?"
Storm's End, the dark and damp basement.
Governor Fell growled and asked, Marthas who was in the same body with him.
"How is it possible? Your Excellency Governor!"
What happened last night, Mathas did not expect at all, and now he is being questioned by the governor, and he is a little panicked.
"We share one body, we are together all the time, don't you know what I do?
Besides, what reason do I have to do this? "
As the soul eater hidden in Wind's Rest, Marthas defended himself.
Governor Fell also understands this truth. Since the soul fusion, there is no secret between him and Marthas.
So this matter cannot be done by Marthas.
"What about your apprentices? Those soul eaters who can use forbidden spells, can you make sure that they didn't do it?"
The governor continued to question.
"They have no reason!"
Mathus explained:
"Everyone knows that Jory is your son, or the most likely heir.
My apprentices, how could they do something that hurt him? There is no reason at all! "
"Can you be sure that they have not been instigated and are absolutely loyal to you?"
Governor Fell asked what he thought was the most likely scenario.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Mathus may be vague when asked about other things, but he will definitely be able to make the apprentice 100% sincere to him.
"Your Excellency, you also know that I have a curse to prevent my subordinates from betraying.
And you have seen with your own eyes, what will happen to them when they disobey my order or have the idea of betraying me.
If you don’t believe me, Governor, I can call those apprentices over and ask them in person.
If they lie to me, then the curse will take effect immediately and you will get the answer. "
Mathus spoke earnestly, as if as soon as the governor nodded, he would immediately call the apprentices over to inquire.
"no need."
Controlling the shared body, he waved his hands, and the governor sat down irritatedly. He believed that the apprentices of Marthas would not do such a thing.
Not to mention anything else, just to say that the murderer openly threw the body under the statue of the Seven Gods under the eyes of everyone, which shows that the murderer is by no means an ordinary person.
To be able to achieve this level, the murderer must be at least the fourth and fifth ranks, and the apprentices of Marthas do not have this ability.
"My lord..."
Seeing that the Governor became rational, Mathas immediately expressed his thoughts:
"I always feel that this incident is because someone deliberately drew attention to us, and he wanted us to be exposed."
Mathus has been hiding behind the scenes. His existence and what he has done have been unknown.
But after last night, he was framed and brought to the front desk like a blame, and Mathas felt that someone must be targeting him.
"Who could it be? Who discovered your existence? Want to make it public?"
Governor Fell has also thought about this, he asked.
"Kestrel? Jory died as soon as he got back."
Mathas guessed it was a kestrel.
"Impossible, the Ring of the Earth is the king's dog. If Kestrel knows you are in Wind's Rest, he has too many ways to deal with you."
The governor retorted.
"That might be..."
Mathus continued to speculate:
"The hunter named Rhine?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
The governor sneered:
"He is a Tier 2 hunter, do you think he can do this?"
After being denied by the governor, Marthas was silent for a while.
Finally, he calmly analyzed:
"Based on my decades of experience in researching forbidden spells, fast and complete blood extraction can be done not only by soul eaters who can use forbidden spells, but also by secret techniques of trolls.
Then, my lord governor, do trolls exist on Storm Island? "
"Troll?"
Governor Fell was stunned for a moment. He didn't know as much about dark taboo spells as Marthas.
After thinking about it, Governor Fell controlled his mouth:
"Impossible, now the endless sea is ruled by humans, and the trolls only linger in the north.
The Isle of Storms is far to the north, there can't be trolls here. "
"Well, I guess so."
Mathus agreed.
The flickering candles in the basement, the flickering candles illuminated the mold on the walls.
The two souls in one body were silent for a while, and finally, Marthas finally got the courage to say his last guess—
The sleeping lava lord cocoon.
"How is that possible? What reason does he have? Why would he do it? He doesn't even know Jory."
When Penrose Fell heard this answer, he suddenly ignited his anger and didn't give Marthas a chance to speak. He continued to speak ferociously:
"We helped him release the mermaid's imprisonment and help him wake up. We have reached an agreement with him. Why should he kill Jory?!"
Penrose Fell's soul was emotionally agitated and on the verge of losing control at any time, which made Marthas, who shared the same body with him, very uncomfortable.
"I don't know, I'm just speculating."
In order to calm down the governor's emotions, Marthas said quickly:
"After all, in Wind's Rest, besides Cocoon, who else could kill Jory like that, even if he was still in a deep sleep.
Besides, don't forget that when Jory's body was found, it was next to the prismarine.
And he appeared there so abruptly that no one saw how he appeared.
Who else can do these things besides Lava Lord Cocoon? "
Mathus shut his mouth after finishing speaking, and the governor was silent for a long time before asking:
"Why, why would he do that?"
"I don't know, the lava lord is an ancient extraordinary creature, I can't guess him."
In order to prevent the governor from being on the verge of losing control again, Massas tried to explain patiently:
"Maybe he was malicious, maybe he was well-intentioned, or maybe he had no reason at all."
"bona fide?"
Governor Fell said mockingly:
"He killed Jory, can he be called kind?"
Aware of the governor's agitated emotions, Massas quickly appeases and explains:
"Perhaps Lava Lord Cocoon is hinting and reminding you of something."
Immediately afterwards, Mathas discouraged and reminded:
"Your Excellency, we must focus on the overall situation. Our goal is the godhood below Storm Island. Please don't lose the big because of small things!
The cause of the son's death is special, so it is better to arrange it as soon as possible, so as not to be seen by others and cause suspicion.
As for Lava Lord Cocoon, if he really wants to remind you of something, I think you will find out soon.
If he is malicious at all, then we will deal with Cocoon after we get the Godhead Mastery Law. "
Mathus analyzed the situation rationally.
After a long time, Governor Fell calmed down, and he returned to the small chamber of Storm's End, where many people were waiting for him.
There is Celine Weiss who cried so much that she almost fainted, Moros who is too sad, and...
Governor Fer looked through the family members and ministers, and saw Shia who usually didn't show her face.
Xia was wearing a fortune-teller's uniform, holding a crystal ball in her hand. She seemed to have just performed a fortune-telling.
Somehow, seeing the crystal ball in Xia's hand, the governor suddenly remembered what Marthas said—
Cocoon may be trying to remind you of something through Jory's death.
Narrowing his eyes in displeasure, Governor Fell resented in his heart:
'remind me? Ah! Cocoon had better be able to remind me that there are more important things to me than Jory. '
