Chapter 629
“They died in the room?”Luclan-ster suspected that he was hearing things. He frowned and said, “Say it again, who died?”
“Sir, it’s Mr. Prana and that sir. They’re dead.”The Heavy Armored Knight secretly raised his head and glanced at him. He said carefully.
Luclan-ster was stunned. He suddenly suspected that the armored knight who reported the news was here to fool him. If Prana died, he could accept it, but that “Sir”.., that was an expert even stronger than the great radiant king. How could he die here? In the entire outer wall region, who could kill him?
Could it be someone from the inner wall region? Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. His heart trembled, and he asked the armored knight in a deep voice, “Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!”The armored knight lowered his head and said.
Luclan-ster’s expression changed slightly. He immediately stood up and said, “Bring me to take a look.”
The armored knight quickly got up and led the way in front.
After a moment, the two of them arrived at room 108 in the underground passage. At this moment, this underground world had been sealed off, and luclan-ster’s secret army was guarding all the entrances. Luclan-ster pushed open the room. He immediately smelled the stench of blood and the sound of sobbing. His heart sank. He looked up and immediately saw several of his trusted aides standing in the room, they were protecting the scene.
On the floor of the room, there were two corpses. They were prana, whom he had sent, and the Lord’s personal attendant.
His expression changed slightly and he asked in a deep voice, “Where’s his corpse?”
“Lord, it’s here,”a middle-aged man with a scar on his face said in a low voice.
Luclan Ste hoped to hear the word “No”from his mouth, but when he saw the direction he pointed in, his heart turned cold. He saw that on the other side of the bed, there was a large amount of blood, there were messy pieces of flesh, as well as dismembered arms. It was like a slaughterhouse. He slowly walked over and immediately saw a mangled body lying on the ground. Only the clothes he recognized were there. Even the face was cut so badly that the flesh and blood turned outward. It was completely blurry.
Even though he was well-informed and had witnessed hundreds of crimes committed by the Dark Church’s evil members, he was disgusted by this scene. He wanted to vomit. The body on the ground could no longer be called a corpse, but a pile of flesh and blood, moreover, it was clearly flesh and blood that had been destroyed by humans. It was hard to imagine how much pain, fear, and despair the deceased had suffered before he died!
He took a deep breath and felt the bloody smell flowing in his chest, making him feel nauseous.
He raised his hand to pinch his chin and conveniently covered his nose. He slowly turned around, and his thoughts quickly ran through his mind. Judging from the clothes and the mechanical watch on his broken hand, the deceased was undoubtedly that Lord! However, who could have killed that Lord?
To kill him in such a cruel way, there must be an unimaginable deep hatred. Could it be that the enemy he had offended in the inner wall had come looking for him? Would his enemy vent his anger on me?
As he thought of this, he felt a chill run down his spine. He felt that his surroundings were suddenly filled with danger, filled with hidden knives and spears.
“He’s dead. He deserves it!”Luclan-ster took a deep breath and glanced at the people around him, he narrowed his eyes and said, “How long has he been dead? How did the murderer infiltrate our luclan family and find this place to assassinate him?”
The people around him looked at each other, unable to answer.
However, they knew that their master had already suspected that there was a mole in the family.
Luclan-ster slowly glanced at their expressions, then his gaze shifted to the few shivering children on the big bed beside him. Naturally, he did not suspect that there was a mole in his subordinates, how could a person who could kill this lord need a mole to assist him? He was only worried that that person did not leave, but was still mixed in with the Knights under him.
“Have you been here the whole time?”Luclan-ster asked the children.
He was already familiar with the man’s special hobbies, including these children. He had ordered people to find them for him.
The children stared at him with their black and white eyes, their faces full of fear.
Luclan-ster frowned slightly, he turned around and said, “These children are witnesses. They must have seen the whole process of the murderer. Take them down and ask them what the murderer looks like. Remember, don’t scare them anymore. Otherwise, their minds will collapse and they won’t be able to ask anything.”
“Yes.”The middle-aged man from before nodded.
“Also,”luclan-ster said in a deep voice, “Don’t tell anyone about this. If word gets out, you will be responsible!”
“Yes.”The few of them said in unison.
“Father!”At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside. A brown-haired young man quickly ran in.
Luclan-ster looked at his son’s obnoxious brown hair and frowned. He said, “What is it?”
The young man quickly said, “Father, I found two witnesses. They should know something.”
“Oh?”Luclan-ster’s eyes lit up. “Bring them here quickly.”
The young man said, “Father, I’ve already interrogated them. These two people told us the situation at that time. According to the time of the incident, they happened to pass by outside when the incident happened. They were preparing to gamble outside. In the end, they met a person in the corridor. That person’s face was covered in blood, scaring the two of them. However, they didn’t think too much about it at that time. They thought that that person had played with some slave and went overboard. However, they later found out that a big shot had died here, so they connected it to that person. Then, they told a good friend of theirs, the guard, and that guard told me about it.”
Luclan-ster was startled and immediately said, “You’re saying that they bumped into the murderer in the corridor?”
“That’s right,”the young man said. “The murderer left in a hurry and bumped into them. Only then did they notice the murderer’s face.”
Luclan-ster immediately said, “Find an artist immediately and cooperate with the two of them. Draw the murderer’s face and put it on the wanted list of the cult of Shadows. Let the cult of Shadows find the murderer for us.”
The young man said respectfully, “Father, I have already gotten an artist to draw it. This is the murderer’s portrait. I will immediately send it to Big Brother. He has many connections. Let him help us publish it in the cult of Shadows.”
Ruklan-ster did not expect his son, whom he disliked the most, to be so efficient. In the past, he had looked down on him. He immediately said, “Let me see it first.”
The young man respectfully handed it over.
Luclan Ste opened the portrait. It was an extremely lifelike sketch. He looked at it a few times and suddenly felt that this person was somewhat familiar. After looking at it carefully for a moment, he suddenly thought of someone.
“Riley? The sword genius who has been missing for a long time?”There was a hint of surprise in luclan Ste’s eyes. After looking at it a few more times, he felt that it was more and more similar. However, this portrait was still a little different from the Riley whom he had seen before. It should be caused by the two witnesses’interpretation and the artist’s understanding of the portrait.
“Is it just a person who looks similar? “Riley, how could it be him? How could he kill him? “Wait, Riley was once the Pope’s favorite knight. His disappearance has always been a mystery. Could it be that the pope deliberately arranged all of this and made him disappear, but in fact, he secretly sent him to the inner wall to further his studies?”Luclan-ster was a little scared as he thought about it, the pope had the authority to enter the inner wall, so it was not difficult for him to send someone into the inner wall!
If that was the case, then wasn’t the Pope’s disappearance also part of the Pope’s plan and arrangement?
And most importantly, why did the Pope send him to assassinate this lord?
Could it be that he sensed the power that he had been secretly operating and was preparing to deal with him?
As he thought of these numerous thoughts, he felt some fear in his heart. He furrowed his brows and thought deeply about the purpose and nature behind this matter. As he thought about it, no one in the room dared to make a sound and disturb him. The room fell into a dead silence, only a few children’s frightened sobs sounded softly, but no one paid any attention to them.
