"Whose other location is there?" After everyone sat down, Panis poked Moore next to him: "Didn't it mean that everyone is in full?"

"The general manager always appears last." Moore sneered: "It's just a bad habit of human beings."

"Well, then you still have to wait for him?" Penis asked, "He can't participate anyway."

"There's no way, he has a lot of key information." Moore said: "It's a waste of time if you can't wait for him."

"When it comes to wasting time, I haven't had time to ask you." Panis said in confusion: "What are you doing here? Even if you want to send a representative, wouldn't it be better to send a young man out?"

"I happened to be nearby." Moore closed his smile and said seriously: "This is what I just said. The other party made the matter a big deal this time, and Wang Ting couldn't sit still."

"I don't understand. What happened? Why did it still alarm the Elf Royal Court?" Panis frowned and said, "It is said that these things only happen in human territory and have nothing to do with you elves."

"That's what I want to say in a while, wait a little bit." Moore and Penis turned to look at the door of the conference room: "It's already here."

The door of the conference room was pushed open again, and people's first impression was that a ball rolled in. In fact, of course, it was not a ball coming in, but it was indeed a human body that was close to a round shape. The person who came in was very fat, with a round head, a round belly, a short and thick limbs, and a short and thick fingers, which looked very funny. The ball-shaped person walked into the conference room and panted like he had run dozens of kilometers. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his head. He took a long time to recover. A kind smile squeezed out from his round fat face: "Sorry, I'm late."

"He is the person in charge of the security center?" Lina whispered in horror.

"No, he is the city lord." Moore obviously did not expect that he would attend the meeting himself: "Or it is the current Duke of Winston, the master of the entire Duke of Winston."

The full name of the current Duke of Winston is William Winston. He is one of the three most powerful dukes behind the rotating parliament, and is also the top ten richest man in the entire Neville Federation. The Federal Neville Federation rejuvenates the country through business, and the thirteen dukes all have a huge business network, and the Duke of Winston is no exception. In fact, Duke Winston himself is a business genius, with various business methods emerging one after another. Such a powerful person has a very bad evaluation among the people, and many people call him

For the cannibals, demons, poisonous snakes, etc., this is because he is never ruthless in the face of his competitors, and he must swallow the other party's industry and the bones to be satisfied. This bad means and attitude have attracted too much dissatisfaction and established a large number of enemies for him. Even at this stage, there is a commercialization operation to encircle Winston, but it seems that Winston doesn't care at all, as if being surrounded by more than 20 chambers of commerce is not a big deal for him.

"It's really unexpected that this happens in my territory." Duke Winston walked to the only free chair and sat down. The originally wide chair seemed to have turned into a nail under his body, and was nailed tightly into the fat flesh of William's body: "In order not to waste everyone's time, I'll say it's simple."

"It must be everyone wondering why I attended this meeting in person." Duke Winston's round face was filled with smiles: "First, because this incident has a great impact. Due to this incident, the transaction volume of several types of my business has declined. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, I may suffer heavy losses in the end. Second, I will take over as the rotating chairman next year. If this matter cannot be resolved, if such problems occur again during my term of office, someone will probably apply for the removal of me. Just like a tragedy that happened in the spindle village a while ago... Even if I successfully escape the impeachment, I am afraid that a lot of benefits will be given. This is even more uncomfortable than killing me, so no matter what, I will fully support you in tragic investigation of this matter."

"I'll announce our news below." Winston took out a pair of glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose, took out a few more papers and said: "First of all, three of the five survivors have died in coma. We have commissioned professional institutions for testing. The reason for the death is amazing. It is entirely due to organ failure caused by excessive aging of body functions, which is what we usually call old age and death. Since it is winter now, the body is still in good condition, you can re-dissection yourself or read the examination report directly. Among the other two survivors, one is still in a coma, but the other has woken up. Although he is in a bad mood, he can communicate normally after all. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly."

"I have summarized the narratives of the three survivors who have been awake before and after, and we can confirm that the enemy is mainly several mages wearing black robes. The robes are embroidered with unique marks - the hexagram centered on the hourglass. The color of the hourglass is also different depending on the status of the personnel. There is a difference here. Some people say that the color of the entire mark is different, and some people say that only the color of the hourglass is different. The language used by these mages is a common word for humans, but the common word for two of them is a bit awkward, and it seems to be... aliens? Including aliens, they mentioned a certain adult many times when communicating with each other, and initially concluded that they were collecting something for that adult."

"Okay, this is the basic situation. If you have any questions, please raise them. After the meeting, you can form a team to explore. It is not recommended to act alone, because when the survivors' village where the enemy ritual is broken by our patrol personnel, there should be a commander with a very high rank inside. If the patrol team did not send a signal to ask for help immediately, it would probably be lost to the patrol team. Therefore, in order to avoid being defeated by each, at least three people will act in groups."

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

"I have a problem." Lina asked the first question: "I am a witness to the spindle village incident. I want to know if the situation of the deceased in the incident is exactly the same as that of the spindle village?"

"It turns out that you are members of the Nelli Adventure Group. Thank you for reporting the spindle village incident in advance, so that all cities in our country will increase the patrol efforts. The ultimate benefit is to break a case in time. The precious survivors are left and the other party's way of doing evil." Duke Winston made a few polite words first, and searched in the information in his hand. After a while, he replied: "Yes, the situation of the deceased is exactly the same as the spindle village incident. From this we can reversely introduce it. The spindle village incident, the deceased did not die from magic, but from a large-scale magic array."

"This is the second question I want to ask." Lina said: "Since the patrol team broke through the scene of the other party's crime, is there any magic circle that has been destroyed? If so, can we provide rubbings?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot." Duke Winston made a gesture, and several uniformed guards began to distribute rubbings of the magic circle to everyone: "Everyone has also seen that the high-end combat power in the guards is seriously insufficient, so everything depends mainly on everyone in the temple, please."

Panis took the rubbing on behalf of Lina. He opened the research and followed the professional matters and left it to professionals to solve this concept. Lina did not come over to look at it, but continued the question: "I don't understand a little bit, why do you conclude that the other party will not escape immediately after you are knocked out by you, but will stay here to wait for an opportunity to commit the crime? If the other party escapes, it will be meaningless for everyone to gather here."

When Lina first asked questions, everyone was actually observing her curiously, especially Amber, Marcia and Teresa who had simple contact with Lina, because the impression Lina left on them when she first met was a standard clergyman. She was gentle, pious, restrained, and thought about others first. But since Lina started asking questions, she suddenly became very strange. Although she was still gentle, all the questions were very targeted, from the logic of the question to the entry point of the question. She seemed to be a professional guard who had been dealing with evil things for many years. Lina certainly knew everyone's doubts and curiosity, but she did not intend to explain anything. Instead, she looked straight at the city lord Duke Winston, waiting for his answer.

"There is a high possibility that the other party has not escaped." Winston replied, wiping his never-stop sweat: "The spindle village incident has been very big. However, the other party still stays in Neville and continues to commit crimes. This speculates that the other party is very stubborn and time is relatively tight, and he will not give up easily. He is very likely to lurk nearby. It is worth seeking the assistance of all the temples."

"The last question." Lina nodded, approving Winston's answer: "Do you have any preliminary speculation about what the other party is collecting?"

"I don't know." Duke Winston shook his head without hesitation: "I can only guess that it is something like vitality, and no one can understand the magic circle left behind."

"Huh?" Panis suddenly let out a low cry in surprise: "Lina, come to see this magic circle."

Lina came over to see it for a long time and asked in confusion: "Is there anything special? I don't know this very much."

"It's very special and very familiar." Panis said thoughtfully: "This is the first time I have seen this magic array, but we have just seen this style of magic array not long ago."

Lina frowned and asked, "I have no idea, where did I see it?"

"Do you remember enthusiasm and indulgence?" Penis asked.

"You mean, from the first..." Lina covered her mouth in time and did not express her guesswork.

"Yes, it's the magic array they showed us." Panis nodded and said, "Although the painting methods and functions are different, including the runes and texts on the magic array, everything can be changed, but the core style of the magic array is still impossible to change, so I can say with certainty that this magic array and the magic array they showed us came from the same era, or even from the hands of the same person."
