Chapter 143 The First Deceased

In fact, without Luvia saying that, Lucia had already chased after that monster.

The speed of the monster is very fast, so fast that it is far faster than normal beasts. In terms of speed alone, it has almost reached the point where it is comparable to third-rate followers.

However, Liuxia's speed was still higher than it, even if it took a step ahead and stepped into the bushes, Liuxia still followed behind it and rushed into the bushes.

However--

"Disappeared?"

After Liu Xia chased him for a few seconds, he immediately discovered that the figure of the beast had disappeared in front of him without warning, which made people completely puzzled.

On the clearing in the woods, Liu Xia stopped and looked around in the woods.

"This is... the same statue as the other side?"

In the clearing in the forest, Liu Xia found another statue, which was also completely broken including the base, and the rubble was piled on the ground. Judging from the size of the base, it might be the same as the other statue, about the height of a person.

"There are actually two of the same statue? That is to say, isn't the only answer Heine got before?"

Liu Xia looked at the statue in front of her, and thought in her eyes, "It seems that the owner of the stripping city doesn't treat everyone equally."

The statues corresponding to Heine and Luvia should be different.

But there must be another person corresponding to the statue here.

It's hard to say what message Geryon, lord of the Stripped City, was going to convey in this matter, but he certainly didn't treat all the magicians who were invited to come equally.

"call out--"

When Liu Xia was looking around the statue, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the other side, as if something was thrown by someone and hit Liu Xia's back.

Just listening to the sound of that thing breaking through the air is probably enough to blow the head of an ordinary beast.

Liu Xia stood on the spot, didn't even move, just waved her hand backwards, and with a 'choking' sound, an incoming attacking object was sent flying.

"Wow wow!"

The person who threw the object let out a panicked cry, and at the same time, the figure of the other party also appeared from the forest, and came in front of Liu Xia.

It was during breakfast, and there was also a relationship with Liu Xia once, a Shugendo monk from the Far East island country, named Ren Jirofang Qinggen at that time.

He was wearing a white cassock, a string of large conch shells hung around his neck, and he covered his right eye with an eyepatch. His dressing style was completely different from that of Westerners, with an obvious ethnic style.

"Oh! I was shocked, little brother of the Edelfelt family, if you come, please say hello first? I saw that your speed was so fast, I almost didn't get scared to death, I thought there was What is coming to take my life!"

Something that was slapped by Liu Xia in the air and flew out, traced an inconceivable arc trajectory in the air, and then fell back into the hands of then Ren Jirobo Qinggen.

While keeping a distance from Liu Xia, he squeezed out a smile on his face, barely having a conversation with Liu Xia, but seeing his stepping back from time to time, he probably also had a great fear of Liu Xia.

"Are you alone here?"

Liu Xia looked around, and then focused her eyes on the opponent, "Have you seen any suspicious-looking beasts?"

"beast?"

At that time, Jirofang Qingxuan was slightly taken aback, with a puzzled expression on his face, "I didn't see it? I was the only one here from the beginning to the end, and I came here only after solving the mystery."

The expression on his face was very honest, it didn't look like he was lying.

Of course, magicians are very good at self-hypnosis. They protect themselves mentally better than anything else. For some magicians, lying is just commonplace.

What they say is often not true.

"Compared to this, what happened?"

Qingxuan asked with some doubts: "I see that you came in a hurry, did something happen? What does a beast mean?"

"have no idea."

Liu Xia said indifferently, he really didn't know anything yet, but seeing that the beast was indeed holding a foot in its hand, the worst thing was that someone was injured. It's normal.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Suddenly, a bell sounded from the direction of the castle, and it struck several times in a row.

"Oops, this seems to mean an urgent call. I'm afraid something big will happen... Uh, little brother, why don't you go ahead?"

Qingxuan's complexion changed at first, and he wanted to rush towards the castle, but then, he thought of Liu Xia beside him, his face became bright again, he stretched out his hands, and said "please first" to him pose.

He really didn't dare to walk in front of Liu Xia, otherwise he might pounce on him and eat him at some point.

Liu Xia took a deep look at Qingxuan, then didn't say much, and left the woods first, Qingxuan followed behind him, also walking towards the castle.

…………

Castle, first floor hall.

At this moment, almost all the guests came out of the room and came to the lobby on the first floor, making the atmosphere here almost as solemn as an execution ground.

The body of Heine, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, was lying on the ground. He had lost all breath and his left leg had disappeared without a trace.

Lord El-Melloi II was frowning, examining his corpse.

Luvia, Grey, and [Magician] Frenger dressed as a mercenary, and the last old-school magician who has never appeared in front of Lucia, the authority of butterfly magic, Orok Sishamende, also came here we go.

Huaye Hishiri stood at the top of the hall, looking at the dead Heine Istari below with inexplicable eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

When Liu Xia and Qing Xuan walked into the hall one after the other, everyone's eyes flashed past the two of them.

"How? Have you caught up?"

Luvia came to Liu Xia's side, and asked him with a serious expression, she didn't know what kind of psychology she was in, but Liu Xia still felt the smell of anger from her.

"No, I lost it."

Lucia glanced at her, and then replied: "On the way of tracking, that monster suddenly disappeared. There should be something in this castle specially built for it to hide from. I don't know if it's magic or something."

Hearing what Lucia said, all the people present, including Luvia and El-Melloi II, turned pale.

"Except for Heine's sister, Rosalind, who passed out, everyone is here now."

El-Melloi II stood up from the corpse, exhaled fiercely, and frowned, as if there was something bothering him.
