Looking at the old man's corpse, Richard's mind turned.

If the old man dies a normal death, that's fine. However, according to the old man's performance before, how do you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal death.

Especially the old man's weird smile.

It seems that the death of the old man is more likely to be an accident.

Most likely, some wizard used a transcendent spell to attach his consciousness to the old man's body, wanting to infiltrate the thirteenth mine to learn something. Because he was discovered by accident, he knew that he couldn't fight against it, so in order to avoid being told the details by him, he decisively broke it off on his own.

If that's the case, it's going to be a lot more troublesome.

And there are two situations to consider.

In the first case, the wizard who came to investigate was a wizard from an unknown organization. It's a bit of a hassle, but as long as you are vigilant, it's not a big deal.

In the second case, the wizards who came to investigate came from within the Truth Society. For some reason, the other party had doubts about his identity or what he had done, so he came to investigate. Then there will be a lot of trouble, and we must think carefully about how to deal with it, because if it is not dealt with properly, it may greatly affect the ore mining of the mine, and thus affect the current nuclear weapons research and manufacturing plan.

So which one is it?

Richard frowned, looked at the waltz approaching, and regardless of the other party's surprise and embarrassment, he pointed to the corpse of the old man on the ground, and said directly: "I want to get this person's information as quickly and efficiently as possible." ”

Waltz hesitated, looked at Richard, and said, "Then the wizard, ...... tomorrow morning."

"No, it's not fast enough. Richard shook his head and interrupted Waltz, "I'm going to get enough information tonight, and I'll stay in the mine until I figure it out." ”

"This ......" Waltz listened, pursed his lips, his eyes rolled as if he was thinking seriously, and finally looked at Richard, took a deep breath and decided: "Then wizard, you have to wait a while." ”

"Okay. ”

Waltz turned and walked out into the night, and in a moment the mine became a little more noisy than before.

......

More than an hour later.

In the thirteenth mine, in the room where Richard had meditated before, the body of the emaciated old man lay flat on the ground, and Richard sat quietly on the bed on the side, closing his eyes and recuperating, completely ignoring the existence of the corpse.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Waltz walked in.

Waltz, who walked in, glanced at the corpse with a slight resistance, walked to the farthest corner from the corpse, and said to Richard: "Lord Wizard, I have investigated some information, and I have generally figured out the identity of this person on the ground." ”

Richard opened his eyes and asked aloud, "Who is the other party?"

"The other party's name is Ford, according to the workers, he has no children and no daughters, he has been living in poverty, and he seems to have been stimulated by something, and his brain is a little abnormal. The workers had seen him, and many times he had inexplicably smirked and laughed inexplicably.

Originally, he was supposed to be only active in the small town of Shambhala, and I really don't know how he got here, let alone why he entered the construction site. I guess...... Maybe the other party is too hungry and wants to steal something to eat. After being discovered by you, Lord Wizard, because I was too scared and weak, I was scared to death. This is also his own doing, adults don't have to worry about anything. ”

"Is that what you're getting into?" asked Richard.

"That's it. "If you want more information, or if you want to make sure it's true, you can only go to Shambhala during the day." ”

"Oh well. Richard said, looking at the corpse on the ground, and whispered, "According to what you said, the other party is completely just an ordinary person, and the sudden turn and weird smile before was caused by mental abnormality." Besides, what else do I think about?"

"No, no. Richard shook his head lightly and said to himself, "This kind of thing, you still have to be careful, after all, it's hard to believe that a madman can detect my approach for the first time, and when he is scared to death, he shows a strange smile instead of fear." If possible, it's best to figure out the memories of the other person, or the remnants of the soul......"

Looking up at the Waltz, Richard commanded: "Waltz, you help me arrange a carriage to take me back to Jialan City, and take this corpse with me, I will study it carefully." ”

"Yes. Waltz didn't hesitate, turned around and was about to go out to make arrangements.

Then Richard spoke up again: "By the way, there is one more thing you have to remember, Waltz." ”

"What, Wizard Master?" asked Waltz as he paused, frowning slightly.

"That is, we still need to pay attention to public security, and don't let similar things happen again. Even if it happens, at least something has to be discovered. After all, I don't come to the mine every day. Richard said.

The expression on Waltz's face was embarrassed and a little frozen, and after a while, he looked at Richard and said seriously: "Master Wizard, please rest assured, I promise that this is only the first time in this matter, and there will never be a second time! I will select people from among the miners to form a special security team to maintain order in the mining area." ”

"Alright, go ahead. Richard waved.

Waltz didn't say anything more, and strode out the door with a bit of energy.

A short time later, a horse-drawn carriage left from the site of the No. 13 mine, pulled the bodies of Richard and an old man named Ford, and returned to the Blue Lagoon Manor in Jialan City.

......

Unloading the body from the carriage, Richard entered the study of the manor's stone building, and without stopping, entered the Garden of Eden.

In the Garden of Eden, Richard walked in, and then walked into the research room of the machining sector.

The reason why he brought the corpse was very simple, he wanted to find out the soul memory of the corpse before death, to confirm whether the other party was really scared to death, or if there was another reason.

However, he also knew very well that with his current ability, it was a little difficult to analyze the secrets of the soul in depth, after all, most of his research did not involve this aspect - it was okay to destroy the soul, and it was a little reluctant to analyze the soul.

Fortunately, there is another existence in the Garden of Eden that may help, and that is the Lich Soul in the Life Box.

Walking into the research room with the corpse, Richard laid the corpse flat on a table in the room. Then he walked to an iron box next to the iron frame, opened the iron box, and turned out the Lich Death Box that he had thrown into three days ago.

Holding the life box in his hand, Richard's mind moved, the incantation was pronounced, and a transparent insect was born on his fingertips, which was the soul worm.

Without hesitation, Richard flicked it and threw the soul worm into the life box.

One second, two seconds, three ......

In less than three seconds, the lifebox shook violently, and a large puff of black smoke poured out, condensing into the appearance of an old lich. The old man of the lich grabbed the soul worm in the life box that Richard had just lost with both hands, threw it towards the corner of the wall with all his strength, and then looked at Richard and shouted angrily: "Boy, what are you doing!"
