1114 Weird

Crack!

The force field barrier that separated the two sides made a crisp sound, and a small hole that was only a fraction of a second away from piercing the entire barrier appeared under the horrified gaze of Vice President Frank. Then, fine cracks appeared from the edge of the small hole, spreading rapidly like a spider web.

Raymond, who had completed the attack, frowned slightly. The sharp tentacles formed by his left hand did not break the force field barrier in one blow, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Because the attack just now was equivalent to the attack strength of a level 5 wizard. Although it was just a pure sharp attack, it should not have caused such a result on this force field barrier.

But there was no need for him to continue to attack. Vice President Frank, who did not dare to hesitate and delay any longer, spoke quickly. "Don't! Don't! Don't! I give up!"

'What a joke! Pure sharp attack almost pierced through this force field barrier. If the spell is released, it can be collapsed on the spot by lowering the spell level. What kind of existence did the Dark Wing Union provoke this time...'

Frank, who was horrified and screaming in his heart, immediately removed the force field barrier and asked the two puppets in front of him who had already condensed spells and were ready to attack to step aside. He bowed with trepidation and frustration.

Seeing that the force field barrier on the arch was removed, Raymond, who was standing still, released his perception.

The space behind the arch was quite large, very much like a hall for some large-scale ceremony, with a dome on top and many hidden doors and secret passages on both sides, leading to dozens of rooms behind the hall.

The whole hall was skillfully built with various stones, and the decoration was quite luxurious, but the murals on the walls and the dome were quite old. Although it was possible to detect traces of frequent cleaning, the wind erosion marks caused by the passage of time could not be removed by cleaning.

Moreover, a few meters underground in the center of the hall, there was also a medium-sized rune array whose purpose was difficult to determine. If Raymond had not been very sensitive, he would not have been able to detect this inexplicable rune array engraved inside the foundation stone.

However, behind the archway, there were only the vice president Frank and the two puppets in scarlet armor standing beside him. There were no ambushes or secret traps, so after restoring his left hand to normal, Raymond crossed the archway and entered.

Vice President Frank, who had completely given up resistance, said with his head down. "Sir, I am Frank, the vice president of the Dark Wing Union. I think there must be a mistake somewhere..."

Raymond was unwilling to listen to these meaningless nonsense, far away from the inexplicable talisman array set up under the floor. He interrupted immediately. "No mistake! Don't think about getting away with it. Tell me all the tasks that Elliot was sent to perform!"

Frank, the vice president, was stunned for a moment after hearing the voice. He raised his head and blinked his eyes in confusion. His heart sank, but he didn't dare to make up a story. He explained honestly. "This task was assigned to the second-level hunter Elliot a few days ago. The target is a crazy woman who has been hiding in the poisonous locust ant swamp for many years. Although the reward is extremely high, there is nothing special..."

The true identity of the old woman hiding at the edge of the core area of ​​the poisonous locust ant swamp is not clear. But this task was designated by Vincent of the Exxon family. So for the sake of safety, Frank also specially sent two teams.

But the other team is still searching in the Poisonous Locust Ant Swamp. They can neither contact Elliot nor find the trace of the crazy woman, so they have to stay near the hut and wait.

But when he was talking, he noticed that Raymond's eyes flashed with anger when he mentioned the "crazy woman", and the vice president Frank, who was good at observing words and expressions, immediately changed the name. "This sir, it is said that this old woman has been hiding in the Poisonous Locust Ant Swamp for a long time, and no one knows who she is. So when we received this task, we would not conduct a detailed investigation, so we immediately arranged personnel according to the request of Lord Vincent, so..."

"Vincent of the Exxon family?" The familiar name appeared again, making Raymond's breath more obscure and huge.

The shocked vice president Frank could not bear it immediately. He lowered his body and complained inwardly, and simply revealed the reason. "Yes, yes! The Exxon family is the top pharmacist family in Dark Wing City, and Lord Vincent is the main person in charge of its family affairs, so many things that are not convenient to be solved directly have to be handled by forces like us who are not exposed to the light, so, so how could we know that this mission against an old woman would provoke you..."

"Shut up!"

Raymond, who was deeply confused, was a little irritated. He couldn't understand why Vincent asked the Dark Wing Union to carry out the assassination.

Louisa had already been mentally ill before her family was destroyed eight years ago, and during the time she returned to her family from the Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy to rest, she should not have had any conflict with Vincent.

What's more, although I broke one of his hands that year, Carol eventually married him. In this way, the two families still have a relationship of in-laws. After the Newman family's corruption case broke out because of the custom-made medicine, it seems that the Exxon family wanted to annex the Newman family. Raymond didn't consider it completely from a malicious perspective before.

But why is the time so close? No one cared about Louisa's life or death when she was hiding in the Poisonous Locust Ant Swamp before, and no one asked about her life or death in that environment for many years. But he had just come to the Dark Wing City to explore her whereabouts, and the Dark Wing Union received the task of assassinating Louisa. What kind of clues are hidden in this process that he doesn't know?

His brows were furrowed, but after he entered the underground world from the Abyss Plane, the magic ghosts of Louisa, Carol and Olga, who had a relationship with him, were silent and unable to contact. Although he sent messages to each of them when he couldn't contact them, Louisa, who was already mentally ill, would not respond to the magic ghost messages at all.

The only ones left were Carol and Olga. Could it be that because of the magic ghost messages he sent to them, Vincent of the Exxon family wanted to silence Louisa?

But why did he think of dealing with Louisa before he found her when he started looking for her? Louisa, who was already mentally ill, could not speak, and it was difficult for people to explore her memory in her mental space. Could it be that just for the sake of safety and to make some precautions in advance, he needed to kill such a person who should not be a threat?

Raymond was very confused and kept wandering in the hall. At present, the assassination of Louisa undoubtedly pointed to Vincent of the Exxon family, so it seemed that only by finding him could he find out.

Therefore, Raymond stopped thinking, but he happened to approach the puppet in scarlet armor standing next to him. The inexplicable familiarity in his heart made him reach out and open the silver-white mask on his face and take it off.

The puppet, with its skin peeled off and only the shrunken muscles on its lower face, had a terrifying face, but its tightly closed teeth were quite sharp, and there were some inconspicuous black bone nails on its ugly and sunken forehead, which was obviously not human.

For a moment, he still couldn't remember where he had seen such a puppet before. Raymond, who was puzzled, turned his head and shouted at Vice President Frank. "Did you make this puppet?"

Vice President Frank, who was already frightened and panicked, was afraid of being misunderstood, and hurriedly shouted with his hands waving. "No, no, no! All the puppets were left by the old president. I am just an earth wizard. How can I make any puppets..."

While Frank was speaking, Raymond, who had already removed all the scarlet armor on the puppet, finally felt his heart sink suddenly after seeing the full appearance of the puppet! (To be continued...)
