At night, in a luxurious room.
On the soft big bed, Enzo sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and magic light spots jumped around his body. During the meditation, the light spots penetrated into his body.
Eyelids trembled, Enzo opened his eyes.
"The improvement of mental power lies in meditation over time. Although I am not in the Wizard Academy now and the surrounding energy particles are relatively thin, continuing to meditate on a daily basis is better than nothing."
"Orlandon seemed a little strange at the banquet today."
With his arms resting on his chin, a thoughtful luster flashed in Enzo's eyes.
"According to the information obtained from the mission office, the population death of Yangjiao Village occurred three months ago, and during this period, the former lord of Snowhoof City happened to die. Is there any connection between the two?"
"And who sent the shadow that attacked me yesterday?"
A gust of evening breeze blew into the room along the window, and the candlesticks on the table swayed.
On the ground, a shadow suddenly flashed.
"Who!" Enzo suddenly looked up, and a light burst out from his eyes.
The shadow that had just sneaked into the room was suddenly shocked. It rushed towards the door and drilled out through the gap between the door and the ground, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Chip, scan!"
Enzo quickly got up from the bed, his eyes swept across the place where the shadows disappeared.
"Ding! Remaining negative energy factors were found in the room, and it was suspected that the soul body was infested!"
The sound of machinery sounded in my mind. Although the shadow just now flashed, the traces left behind were hardly escaped from chip detection.
"Spirit? Dead?" Enzo frowned slightly.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Dias broke in with a solemn expression. He quickly looked around the room, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Enzo safe and sound.
"Master, I felt something came in just now." Dias said in a deep voice.
As the Demon Knight grew up, he was extremely sensitive to certain energy because he took a lot of potions. Dias had been guarding the door of the room before. After feeling the breath of the undead, he rushed in immediately.
"It's nothing, don't care." Enzo said indifferently, his eyes flashing slightly.
In the wizard world, the undead is not rare. Anyone may become an unconscious soul body after death. However, the shadow that just appeared is not listed here. Judging from the reflection, it is obviously for Enzo.
"What does it mean? Is it a test?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.
......
Snowhoof Castle, a secret room.
In the dark space, a figure in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back. He had no expression on his face, his eyes closed, and he came in through a shadow along the gap under the door of the secret room before slowly turning around.
"What are you getting?" The figure in the white robe said in a cold tone.
"Hug...sorry, sir." The human-shaped shadow condensed by the soul body crawled on the ground and said, ": The target is very alert. Before I got close, I was discovered by him."
"Waste!" the figure in the white robe rebuked.
The shadowy body was lowered and I couldn't help but shivered.
"Forget it, I didn't expect you to play any role." The white-robed figure shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Have you found the hiding place of Ironf?"
"Not yet." Shadow shook his head, and then hurriedly said, "However, the people below have already heard news that Ironf's traces were found in Yakko Village. I believe he will be found in no time."
The figure in the white robe looked a little slow, and a trace of murderous intent appeared on his face.
"Give me instructions, once I find the trace of Ironfu, I will kill it on the spot at any cost!" The white-robed figure looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "The matter of Yangjiao Village has attracted the attention of the college, and Ironfu's trouble must be solved as soon as possible."
"As for the order, Lord Orlandon." Shadow replied respectfully.
......
The next day, early morning.
A ray of light passed through the clouds and golden light spread to the earth.
Dongdong!
The knocking sound from outside the door made Enzo wake up from meditation. He slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Come in."
"Sir, Lord Orlandon, please have breakfast together." The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a housekeeper bowed to salute. Four maids followed him, each carrying clear water and towels.
"I understand." Enzo responded without raising his head.
Several young maids immediately stepped forward and began to serve Enzo to wash. After a while, they prepared everything for him and put on their robes.
"How is the rest?" In the hall, Enzo met Orlandon.
"It's much more comfortable than in the academy. Thank you for your hospitality." Enzo replied with a chuckling, but never mentioned the incident of the dead sneaking into the room yesterday.
"Haha, that's good." Orlandon's face turned as usual and told the butler to prepare breakfast.
Then, while sitting at the table chatting, the two started to enjoy breakfast. In their conversation with Orlandon, Enzo learned as much information as possible about Snowhoof City and used chips to organize it.
After a while, the two of them finished their breakfast.
"It's getting late, I want to go to Yangjiao Village to have a look." Enzo asked with a handkerchief to wipe the food residue from the corner of his mouth.
"Come on now?" Orlandon chuckled and suggested, ": Time is still good, and there is no hurry to do the task. Beidi has just sent a group of female slaves, so why not relax in Snowhoof City for a few days first."
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's still important to do it." Enzo looked at the change of Orlandon's expression.
"Oh, that's it." Orlandon's face remained unchanged and he smiled, "It's better to do the main business first, then I'll tell you to prepare later."
"Okay." Enzo nodded slightly, but felt a little surprised in his heart.
The castle housekeeper quickly prepared a carriage, and under the escort of a cavalry, Enzo and Orlandon left Snowhoof City.
Yangjiao Village is located in the south of Snowhoe City, only a few kilometers away. After leaving the city gate and crossing a forest, the convoy soon arrived outside a quiet village.
"Is this Yangjiao Village?" Enzo frowned.
There is a ruin in front of me. The once small village has now become a broken wall. It seems that I had experienced a fire not long ago. It has been burned down, leaving only the charred buildings and a thick layer of ashes on it.
"A month ago, the nearby forest was ignited by lightning."
Orlandon sighed and said.
"After the deaths in Yangjiao Village have all died, so when the fire hit, no one stopped it, which has led to the place where it is now."
"Such a coincidence?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, it's also my dereliction of duty." Orlandon shook his head and said, ": After the death incident, I should have sent people to stay here, but the day of the fire happened to be Enos' successor to the lord, so everyone stayed in Snowhoof City."
Enzo said in a deep voice, but his eyes flashed slightly.
Chapter completed!
