Chapter 516: Fire Scene
Lawrence paused, and said, "Because of this kind of thing, my ancestors have warned me: my ancestors said that there will be a group of evil wizards who will stop the reappearance of the Black Spirit Empire at all costs.
It is for this reason that there are many people in my family who have the ability to make things on the drawings, but they don't make them. When my ancestors and father first made it, they were also extremely careful.
On the contrary, because of my conceit and carelessness, I forgot this warning and ended up in the current situation.
In fact, when I died, I died, but I was pitiful for my two students. Then again, they were supposed to die that winter a few years ago, and I saved them and extended their lives. In a sense, it is to let them die a few years late, this is fate. ”
"You get the idea, Master Lawrence. Franklin said softly, "You don't seem to be scared at all. ”
"What am I afraid of?" Listening to Franklin's words, Lawrence's body seemed to suddenly gain a little more strength, his eyes revealed a little sharpness, and he turned his head to look at Franklin.
Lawrence spoke up, "You are the ones who should be afraid! You know, my ancestors left another word of advice in addition to their warnings. That is, as long as you hide carefully, one day you evil wizards will be eliminated, and then we will be able to do whatever we want. ”
"Heh, destroy us?" Franklin laughed, "I'm afraid it's hard for us to get rid of us." ”
"Like rats, cockroaches, and bed bugs in the gutter?" Lawrence said.
"You!" Franklin's smile instantly cooled, and he said word by word: "Wrong, it's like a god! God, you know!"
As the words fell, he held a slender awl in his hand and stabbed it down, easily piercing the back of the wheelchair and stabbing Lawrence's heart.
"Hmm!"
Lawrence's body shook violently, and the whole person began to convulse, and after a moment, his head tilted and he was motionless.
"Poof"!
Franklin pulled out the awl, threw it in the corner, looked at Lawrence's corpse, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you're the rat, the cockroach, and the bed bug in the gutter, you know!
With that, Franklin strode out, followed by two of his men.
Promi, the "Fire Spirit", took a few steps behind, chanted a spell from his mouth, and his palm spewed fierce flames, setting the house on fire, and then leaving a mark. After doing this, he left with Franklin.
After a short time, the entire courtyard where Lawrence was located was so bright that half of Florence could see it, and shouts of "fire fighting" rang out all around.
Some of the wizards in the corners were alarmed, their bodies swept through the air, and they came to check on the situation.
This night, it was very lively. But it has nothing to do with Richard, because Richard is studying it seriously
......
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
Richard, who had studied all night, walked out of the Garden of Eden, out of the courtyard, and into the streets, ready to move his body and relax his tired brain.
As a result, on the street, before he had gone far, he saw a group of soldiers appear, put a poster-like piece of paper on a wall, and hurried away.
Many people curiously came up to watch the content on the paper, Richard's eyesight was abnormal, but he didn't have to follow along, he could see the words on the paper from a long distance, and then his face changed slightly.
On the paper, it was written: "Last night, the rotten pine alley in the north of the city was maliciously set on fire, causing several civilian deaths, causing chaos and affecting the stability and order of Floren. Therefore, if someone has relevant clues, they should inform the ...... in time"
This!
Richard's eyes narrowed, and the figure of Lawrence came to mind.
......
Night.
Darkness of night enveloped Florence, and the rotten pine alleys in the north of the city were dead silent.
Richard came here, and out of caution, the Concealment Technique and the Shadow Cloak were fully opened, and the whole person and darkness were integrated, and almost no breath leaked out.
Hidden in the night, Richard looked at the burned rotten pine alley, and could see that the fire had started in Lawrence's courtyard, the deepest part of the alley, and then spread, burning almost half of the alley. In the middle of the alley, the fire stopped abruptly as if it had been slashed with a knife.
Richard could imagine what it had been:
After the fire broke out, it first quickly burned down Lawrence's courtyard, and then burned the surrounding houses - after all, this world is not modern, there is no fire extinguisher, no high-pressure water cannon, ordinary people can not resist the fierce fire, can only watch the flames burn more and more. Then, the wizards of Florence arrived, perhaps out of a sense of responsibility or for some other reason, and released a spell that extinguished the flames in an instant.
There is nothing strange about everything, except how did the fire in Lawrence's courtyard start in the first place?
On the paper posted by the official, it is said that someone maliciously set the fire, and who will be the arsonist?
Richard walked quietly to what should have been Lawrence's Courtyard, which had been reduced to ruins, all the houses had collapsed, and only a clearing in the middle of the courtyard looked relatively normal.
His eyes swept over the clearing, and Richard's eyebrows suddenly rose, and he saw a sign clearly engraved on the ground—a large triangle, an inscribed circle, and a vertical line.
This is a very familiar symbol of the Black Spirit Empire, which has been seen in White Rock City, in the library books of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, and now in Florence it is seen again.
This symbol of the Black Spirit Empire does not necessarily represent the Black Spirit Empire, here, it is obviously left behind by the arsonist. According to some information he has learned so far, the person who will deliberately leave this kind of sign seems to be a member of a mysterious organization such as Somen and Mu Coni.
It's just that the other party, wasn't he wiped out all of them in White Rock City at once, and now that the sign appears, could it be that another group of people from the mysterious organization did it? Or is it that Somen, Mu Keni and the others have been collectively resurrected again?
Either way, it's not good news.
Richard frowned deeply, he could guess that the people of the mysterious organization seemed to have an inextricable relationship with the Black Spirit Empire, and it was a bad kind, after all, the other party had been borrowing the logo of the Black Spirit Empire to do bad things.
Lawrence, who died in this fire, according to his own account, has the knowledge inheritance of the Black Spirit Empire, and it may be because of this that he was poisoned by a mysterious organization.
And he is going to continue to explore the secrets of the Black Spirit Empire, and maybe he will be entangled with the mysterious organization again.
It was something he didn't want to see, but—it seemed unavoidable.
So—
Richard's lips pursed.
