Chapter 2927 Death of Xilan
After listening to the bard's self-narration, I nodded and said, "Put aside the clues about naughty Becky for now. Can you tell me about Xi Lan first?"
"Xilan. The brave adventurer who pursued her lover all the way to the devil world." The bard shook his head slightly and sighed: "He is dead."
"What?!" I was shocked: "He is dead? How did he die?"
"It is said that he was killed by the apostles." The bard's tone was very indifferent, as if he dismissed such legends.
"From your tone, it seems you don't agree with the rumors?"
"Oh, it's just a personal opinion, don't worry about it."
"No, I would like to hear your opinions," I said respectfully, "If this does not hinder your life, I hope you will satisfy the curiosity of this younger generation and forgive me for my recklessness and rudeness."
"I'm serious," said the troubadour, "This is just my personal short-sightedness and has no value as a reference. But since you want to hear it, what's the harm in telling me?"
After saying this, he chuckled, with a hint of self-deprecation and emotion, and said: "I didn't expect that as I get older, there are still young people who are not tired of my old nagging."
Taking a deep breath, he said eloquently: "If you want to understand my thoughts, I must first tell you about our demon world, which can also be used as a reference for your future actions."
"The Demon Realm consists of a total of eight huge continents bordering each other. Among them, five continents have the most resources and are ruled by five apostles respectively. The other three continents are classified as lawless zones and are divided up by various organizational forces."
"The apostles who occupy most of the resources will only stay in their respective palaces most of the time and will never interfere in human affairs. They will only leave the palace to solve troubles when certain major events occur, but This situation is very rare. The impact that Xi Lan, who broke into the demon world just to hate his lover Yixue, could not be considered a major event, so I concluded that his death was definitely not caused by an apostle. Because, it is very likely that someone close to the apostle was responsible."
"People around the apostle?" I asked curiously.
"Yes," said the troubadour: "Each apostle is surrounded by their personal guards. Most of these personal guards are strong men in the demon world. However, it is said that the one who lives in Bole Valley is in When I returned from the alien planet, I also brought a human from the alien planet with me. I heard that this human being is named Baan, and he comes from the same planet as Xi Lan."
Hearing this, I frowned and thought to myself: "Barn, it really is him!"
"This alien human named Baan is said to be extremely powerful and can even defeat more than half of the apostle's personal guards. It is really incredible."
"Is it incredible?" I thought to myself: "It's just that you don't know the Zephyr Continent. There are so many powerful people there. I mean the era of the dagger sword master Barn."
"But this Barn is indeed an incredible person," the bard said suddenly with a smile.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Based on the poems passed down by other troubadours, the relationship between Barn and the apostle is not that of master and servant, but cooperation. It is hard to imagine that a human being can establish a cooperative relationship with an apostle who is comparable to a god. This Can’t it still be called incredible?”
After listening, I nodded slightly and agreed with his analysis.
"One month after the apostle returned to the demon world, the name Xilan resounded throughout the Brooklyn continent. Even other continents talked about this name. Why is this?"
The bard murmured to himself, and then murmured to himself, "That's because the returning apostle was assassinated by Xi Lan, but the assassination failed."
"After the failed assassination, Xi Lan was not arrested and detained. Instead, the master allowed him to leave. Until ten years later, when Xi Lan's name was gradually forgotten by people, the incident about him was mentioned again. The reason why it is mentioned is because he is dead."
"I did not see Xi Lan's death with my own eyes. After all, it happened tens of millions of years ago. However, there are relevant records in historical documents. However, most of these records were destroyed by mysterious forces. The remaining small part was saved from destruction by the impromptu idea of the ancestor of the enthusiastic troubadour, who used that part of the historical documents as a foothold."
"So, how did Xi Lan die as recorded in historical documents, and what was the condition of his death?" I asked curiously.
"Xi Lan's body was greatly damaged, and even his face was almost destroyed. But fortunately it was not completely destroyed, and the news of his death will be known to people. Otherwise, what will happen to this human who dared to assassinate the apostle? , it’s too miserable.”
"Subject to great damage," I muttered to myself, and then my eyes lit up and I said, "Excuse me, what kind of damage was done to his body? Are there any relevant records in historical documents?"
"This." The troubadour pinched his chin and said slowly: "Let me think about it, let me think about it."
After a while, he nodded slightly and said slowly: "It was recorded in part. It said that there were penetrating wounds caused by sharp instruments on the chest and lower abdomen, and there were traces of high temperature burns on the edge of the left rib. Oh, yes. There is also a very thin and short wound on the neck, but it is fatal enough. This wound is the real fatal wound."
Penetrating injuries caused by sharp objects
High temperature burn marks
It's very thin and short, but it's enough to cause fatal injuries.
The first and third items are physical attacks, and they are caused by sharp weapons, but the second item is a magic attack, and it seems to be related to fire element magic, but
"May I ask, what kind of weapons do the apostle's guards use?"
"The weapons of the Apostle Guards vary, but it is said that more than half of them use swords."
"1. More than half of them use swords?!"
I was speechless for a moment.
This result completely overturned my earlier plan to investigate from the apostle's personal guard.
"Do you know where Xi Lan's grave is?"
"Why are you asking about this?" the troubadour asked doubtfully.
"To tell you the truth, Xi Lan and I actually came from the same planet, and in a sense, Xi Lan is half of my half master, and he is half of his half master. As a half-disciple, I think it is necessary for me to go to his tombstone to pay homage to him."
"Oh, I see, I'm rude." The troubadour nodded repeatedly: "I do know where his cemetery is, but I can't take you there. As you can see, my body is no longer strong enough to support a long journey. , but since you are willing to pay homage to your mentor, I will try my best to help you and draw a map for you. With the map, you can accurately find Xi Lan’s cemetery.”
