Wizard's Heart

After hearing this, Wang Si naturally guessed that this was caused by someone using a fire-attributed spell.

According to the information Wang Si obtained from Morgan, the last place where the academy and others had an accident was in this border town.

Through the information I learned this time, Wang Si speculated that this matter should be related to the attacks encountered by those in the academy.

After getting the location of the inn from the man's mouth, Wang Si paid the money for the man and left the pub.

And just after Wang Si left, the middle-aged man who gave Wang Si news suddenly changed his face, who was originally drunken, had a sudden change.

Obviously, the middle-aged man pretended to be drunk in front of Wang Si before.

Looking at the gate of the tavern where Wang Si walked out, the middle-aged man waved to the tavern.

Immediately afterwards, a young man trotted over.

"You go and report to the Count, and you say someone has come to the tavern to inquire about that."

"Let him prepare early."

Hearing the middle-aged man's instructions, the young man hurriedly ran out from the back door of the tavern and ran towards the center of the city.

And just after the young man left, the middle-aged man at the dinner table frowned and said to himself, "The Empire should not collude with those people."

"I don't know how long the peace between the two countries can last?"

"Why……!"

He sighed deeply, and the middle-aged man also left the tavern.

Just as the middle-aged man was leaving, Wang Si's figure walked out of the alley at this corner of the street, looking in the direction where the middle-aged man left.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Si looked at the direction of the tavern leading to the castle in the center of the city.

"Interesting, I didn't expect that there would be clues as soon as I got here."

After talking to himself, Wang Si shortened and disappeared into the shadow.

In a study room in the castle in the center of the city.

The young man who had left the tavern before appeared here at this time.

The study room is very spacious, but it is extremely dark.

Seeing that there were only a few fires around, illuminating the desk in front of the study, the young man was very nervous.

However, the burly middle-aged man behind the desk did not speak, and the young man dared not disturb him easily.

The flames were beating, and there was only the sound of brush strokes of the paper in the study.

After a long time, the writing sound stopped.

"Tell me, what did he ask you to do? I remember that I should have no intersection with your group, right?"

The sound of writing stopped, and a powerful sound rang out from behind the desk in front of him.

"Brother... Lord Earl, the master asked me to bring you a word. Someone came to the tavern to inquire about that."

"Hmm...? Is there anything else?"

"Uh...no...no."

Sweat came out of the young man's forehead.

The young man has been lying in this border town, and I have heard a lot about the deeds of this count.

But because I heard a lot, the young man was so nervous at this time. The count in front of him was a pro-war faction completely different from his master.

Just from the deeds he heard, we can infer that the count in front of us is a decisive person.

The study room was silent for a moment, and the count behind the desk didn't know what he was thinking.

After a moment, the figure behind the desk finally spoke, "I understand, you go down."

"Uh, yes, Count." In response, the young man hurriedly retreated.

Just after the young man quit, a figure in a black robe suddenly walked out of the shadow in the corner of the study.

It turned out that there was such a man in black robe hidden in the study room. The young man before did not notice it at all when he was in the study room.

"Mr. Earl, have we been discovered?"

"So what if I find it? I just want those people in the Golden Empire to know that we did it."

"But, Lord Earl, now is not a good time to get the news."

"We haven't caught all those people yet?"

Hearing the man in black robe say this, the figure behind the desk frowned, knowing that the man in black robe was right.

"That's right. Since someone has come to my territory to inquire about that matter, you can take action yourself and don't let that person leave alive."

"Yes, Lord Earl."

"By the way, the young man just now seems to know about us, do you need it...?"

"Well, that young man, you'll solve it."

"As for the people behind the young man... forget it, although the factions are different, he also notified me about this matter. I think their faction will not interfere in our affairs."

After hearing this, the figure in black robe understood what the count meant, and then the figure retreated into the shadow.

The wind blew through the flames, and the fire swayed. When the fire illuminated the shadow, there was no trace of the man in the black robe.

Outside the villa, the young man who had just obtained the reward from the castle felt relieved.

"Huh..., the feeling of oppression is so strong. I hope I will never see this count again."

"Haha, as you wish." After talking to himself, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the young man's ears.

"Who...!" As soon as the young man turned around, he saw an old face hidden under the black cloak.

"Who are you...you want...uh...woo." Just as the young man was about to question, the young man suddenly realized that he could no longer speak.

At some point, a gray-brown vine spread along the young man's thighs and spreading to the young man's neck, and was tightening it hard.

The young man's eyes turned white and his legs kicked, but after a while, the young man's movements stiffened and his body softened.

Obviously, the young man has been strangled to death by the vines.

"Haha, my vines can replenish nutrients again."

The old man in black robe smiled sinisterly, strangled the tip of the vine that strangled the young man's neck, and suddenly became straight, and then inserted straight from the top of the young man's head.

After only a sound of sucking, the young man had turned into a mummy.

As soon as the wind blew, the mummies transformed by the youth turned into powder and dissipated with the wind, leaving no trace on the spot.

Just as the old man in black robe put away his vines and was about to leave, a figure emerged from his shadow.

And the figure that appeared was Wang Si.

As soon as Wang Si's figure appeared, there was no time to give the old man to react. A wind blade passed by, and Wang Si took the old man's body and crawled into the shadow again.

In the border town, there is a small courtyard that is a distance from the Earl Castle.

The middle-aged man who had met Wang Si in the tavern before walked into the yard.

Close the yard door, the middle-aged man returned to the room. After pondering for a while in the room, the middle-aged man came to the desk, took a piece of paper, then took another pen, and started writing.

However, what the middle-aged man did not notice was that at some point behind him, there was an extra figure.
