Indescribable tarot cards

Tion was murdered by a cultist and Tion committed suicide because he was a cultist. Those are two completely different concepts.

The suicide of a cultist is most likely a sacrifice.

And involving the sacrifices of cultists would undoubtedly not be a good thing.

The Iris family can accept the former, but will never accept the latter.

Although when embarking on the path to transcendence, the transcendent should be prepared to experience various temptations and even fall.

But as a member of the Iris family, it would be disgraceful to tell the truth about Tion becoming a cultist.

This would bring shame to the entire Iris family.

"Master Tien did relevant examinations before leaving the family, and he also went to the Tower of Stars. If he was really a cultist, he should have been discovered long ago."

If Alice hadn't remembered aristocratic etiquette, she would have stood up and retorted loudly.

Bals's face darkened, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown. "You mean, Master Tien became a cultist only after he came to Leiden City?"

Just now, he had a smile on his face, his tone was gentle, and he didn't feel any pressure at all.

But when he got serious, the powerful man who was the lord of a city suddenly made the atmosphere more solemn.

The mountain-like pressure made Alice speechless - she just had such a guess in her heart, but she didn't expect Bales to point it out so directly.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond, and she unconsciously used a little more strength on her hands.

Aaron:? ? ?

He groaned and patted Alice's arm gently.

Now he couldn't hold it anymore. Alice's seemingly slender and white hands were actually like iron pliers, tightly locking his hand bones, giving him no chance to break free.

He could even hear a slight breaking sound.

Only then did Alice realize her gaffe, panicked and let go of her hand, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Aaron grinned and raised his hand to take a look. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that his palm seemed a little smaller.

However, Aaron's power in offering sacrifices to heaven is boundless.

After his interruption, at least the atmosphere in the scene relaxed a little.

Aaron shook his unconscious hand, glanced at Alice, and couldn't help but smooth things over: "It's not yet certain whether Master Tien is a cultist. If it is really confirmed, the Tower of Stars should be You won’t send someone over to investigate this matter, right?”

After all, she is the future fiancée, so he, this inexplicable fiancé, still has to be a little biased.

Bars's face softened a little, and he turned to look at Sartre: "Perhaps you can go to Tien's residence first to find out the situation?"

Because of the teacher's request, Sartre could not refuse. He pondered for a moment and said, "I can perform a simple ceremony first to slow down the leakage of breath..."

Having said this, he paused, and then he understood why the teacher sent Siosande here, and he also roughly understood why the teacher let him participate in this incident.

He also remembered that Colin once mentioned that Tion seemed to be collecting different spices, which meant that he should not have been prepared for the ceremony at the beginning.

As a senior problem solver in the Tower of Stars, he is proficient in various rituals and spice recipes. He may be able to summarize from the records and residual spices, and even infer the rituals that Tien may have to perform.

As for Siosande, as the best prophet at the Silver level of the Star Tower, he can trace back its origin by sensing the ritual aura, roughly locking the category of its cult, and it is even possible to directly confirm the identity of the murderer.

If Tion has really become a cultist, then he and Siosande will definitely be able to find relevant evidence.

"However, I think this matter should be resolved as quickly as possible." Bals added, "Leiden City has been under martial law for too long because of this matter. In fact, many chambers of commerce have complained to me."

Leiden City is located in the west of the Kingdom of Algrant, close to the "Three No Matters" Badibila area. In a sense, it is a border city.

The Badibira region is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Agrant in the east, the Kingdom of Kristan in the north, and the Kingdom of Lenofica in the west.

Under the watchful eye of the three parties and wariness of each other, Badibila has become a land without any control by any kingdom, and has also become a paradise for all lawless people.

Countless crimes sprang from here, and countless villains fled thousands of miles here in order to escape the pursuit of all forces.

And chaos, evil, betrayal, and desire have given rise to countless cults. It can even be said that almost all the people who have lived there for a long time are half believers of the cults.

Of course, on the other hand, Badibila has become an extremely important trade channel. Profits have driven greedy and diligent merchants to establish a sporadic order in this unowned land, and through sporadic trade Lu continued to develop a profitable business.

Expensive gems from the Kingdom of Agrant in the east, various spices from the Kingdom of Lenofika in the west, and furs and ores from the Kingdom of Kristan in the north. Many precious commodities are traded and converted through the Badibila area.

During the period when Leiden City is closed due to Tion's incident, there is no doubt that the trade going back and forth will be greatly affected.

In order to continue to maintain the closure of the city, the Lord of Bars had to withstand huge pressure, some of which came from the caravans, and of course some of which came from the nobles of his country. Naturally, such an astonishingly profitable business would not be rejected by the noble nobles. miss.

Most of them are just vain, but that doesn't mean they are stupid.

No one can resist a cute little girl with sparkling gold.

Alice nodded. She could understand the pressure on Lord Bars, which was one of the reasons why she rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

However, she thought for a while, cleared her throat, and suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Lord Bars, how are you going to solve the problem of the demon spider?"

"Earth Demon Spider?" Lord Bars raised his eyebrows, showing a somewhat surprised look.

Alice was startled and asked: "Colin didn't tell you? A few days ago, we found an Earth Demon Spider when we were searching the Man-Faced Mouse Order in the sewers."

"Oh? Colin didn't tell me about this." Lord Bars's face changed a bit, and his strong left arm couldn't help but gently rub his chin, "Earth Demon Spider... That's really a troublesome thing. "

Although the Earth Demon Spider is only a relatively weak monster, it has not been contaminated by the aura of the cult and has become an evil beast. It has also inherited the usual characteristics of spider monsters. It has a small food intake and a withdrawn personality. Under normal circumstances, it will not actively attack humans.

Relatively speaking, compared to most monsters or wild beasts, its threat is actually very small, at least it is unlikely to kill anyone.

It often lives in dark and moist caves and feeds on some small or medium-sized underground creatures. The sewers of Leiden City are indeed very suitable for its living environment.

But here comes the question, where did this earth demon spider come from?

Even if the city defense team is lazy and neglects to clean the sewers, it won't let the Demon Spider run into the sewers, right?

Or is it that the sewers of Leiden City are connected to an underground cave somewhere?

"I will send someone to investigate this matter." Bals nodded towards Alice.

But Alice's mind was not on Bales, and she murmured: "Colin..."

Colin didn't report this to Bales?

Or did he think Alice would mention it to Bales?
