Chapter 284 Mysterious Spell, Two-Headed Snake Statue
Chapter 283 Mysterious Spell, Two-Headed Snake Statue
October 10, the 13th game cycle, the Endless Sea World.
In Storm's End Castle, Governor Xia met with ministers in the Eye of the Storm Hall to handle government affairs. Li Feng sat in her Governor's Office, looking through the files of Storm Island involving cult cases.
In the human kingdom of the Endless Sea, the Seven Gods are the mainstream belief, but in addition to believing in the Seven Gods, there are also some secret illegal organizations.
For example, Zoroastrianism.
Because it is an illegal existence, the Earth Ring and the political forces of the governors of various places will arrest these cults when they are discovered, and then record them.
In the morning sunshine, the floating dust in the air was disturbed by the opened files and flew away.
It must be said that in the past, Li Feng would never have access to these documents, but now that Xia has become the governor, it is natural for him to look at these.
Flipping through the thick files, Li Feng wanted to find clues related to Zoroastrianism.
After all, the original owner, Li Feng, was a member of the Zoroastrian Church, and from his memory, the Zoroastrian Church did not seem to be a small church.
After flipping through a few pages, Li Feng felt that it was too slow, so he simply used the power of the Godhead and used telekinesis to explore the entire file.
Soon, Li Feng saw the confession of a captured cultist.
This person was not a member of the Zoroastrian Church, but he confessed some things he had heard.
One of them was that the sunken Exploration passenger ship might be an asset of the Zoroastrian Church.
However, this person was obviously hearsay, because he could not tell the details.
Footsteps gradually came from the corridor outside the door.
"Click."
The door of the office was opened, and Xia came in with Hai Zan and a group of attendants.
"Something happened on the Glory Island, and someone wants to see you."
Xia walked to Li Feng, held his hand, and said softly.
"What happened?"
Li Feng asked, and at the same time, he saw the young man James Lloyd walking in with the help of the attendants.
James Lloyd is the youngest son of the Governor of Glory Island and the captain of the Sun. Li Feng had seen him twice on Sunset Island and saved him twice.
In Li Feng's impression, James has always been very optimistic, and his identity as the youngest son of the Governor of Glory Island also makes his life worry-free.
But when he saw James again today, his eyes were red from crying and he looked almost exhausted. It was obvious that he had encountered something.
"Mr. Rhine, what should I do?"
At this moment, James, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, saw Li Feng as soon as he came in. He seemed to have seen someone he trusted very much, and he couldn't help crying in grievance.
Li Feng didn't know what happened, so he could only comfort him without knowing why.
At the same time, Xia told him that the Governor of Glory Island, James Lloyd's father, was assassinated in the street.
"What?"
Li Feng was a little surprised that the Governor of an island was assassinated in the street.
Then Xia continued to tell that just last night, Governor Lloyd of Glory Island took his family to the theater to watch a play.
But on the way to the theater, a group of unidentified people suddenly appeared.
After that, several explosions suddenly occurred in the Governor's motorcade, and there was inexplicably thick smoke.
The smoke covered the motorcade, making it impossible to see anything on the road at night, and the scene was very chaotic.
After the situation occurred, Governor Lloyd's ten personal extraordinary guards immediately began to fight back.
But no one could tell what happened. It seemed that it was just a moment, and the ten powerful high-level extraordinary guards disappeared in an instant.
As the battle continued, the Governor's Mansion gradually lost its combat effectiveness.
But before people had time to flee, a scream came from the smoke, and the Governor's wife could hear that it was Governor Lloyd's voice.
Later, in the gradually dissipating smoke, people finally found Governor Lloyd on the side of the road, but at this time he had been assassinated.
Not only that, in the long night, Lloyd fell to the ground with a pale skull exposed on his head.
Obviously, the person who attacked him not only killed him, but also cut off his scalp.
Seeing this, the Governor's wife could not bear the shock and fainted on the spot.
As the smoke completely dissipated, a servant found a beautifully framed painting under the carriage.
What everyone could not understand was that the painting depicted the ten extraordinary people who suddenly disappeared in the battle just now.
Like the environment of the battle just now, the background of the painting was a dark night with diffuse smoke.
The ten extraordinary guards were frozen in the diffuse smoke.
Their expressions were the same as those of the people who were watching them outside the painting, all of them were terrified and incredible.
And their movements were either casting spells, resisting, or running for their lives.
But no matter what, they were all frozen at this time, just like a real painting.
Seeing this, some scholars who were involved in the extraordinary speculated whether someone used extraordinary magic to capture the ten extraordinary people in the painting to imprison them.
This can also explain why the extraordinary guards who were about to fight back in the battle just now disappeared without a trace and their whereabouts are unknown.
The ministers of Glory Island who came to deal with the aftermath also thought that this speculation was reliable, but then they realized.
The ten extraordinary guards who could serve as personal guards for Governor Lloyd were all powerful extraordinary people.
They have rich combat experience and a tacit understanding of cooperation. They are all in the fourth level, or even above the fourth level and fifth level. They are truly high-level extraordinary beings.
It can be said that in ordinary daily affairs or various celebrations, as long as these ten extraordinary beings are present, no one can enter Governor Lloyd's body.
But now, these ten powerful extraordinary bodyguards were imprisoned in the painting in an instant.
There wasn't even any room for counterattack.
If we extrapolate from this, the strength of the people who fought against these ten people can be said to be terrifying.
The ministers of Glory Island thought of this and immediately declared that Glory Island was in a state of war readiness.
Now.
Governor Lloyd was assassinated, and the ten powerful supernatural guards of the Governor's Mansion were trapped in the painting and unable to come out.
But the murderers who caused all this, a group of terrifyingly powerful and unknown people, are at large.
Therefore, the governor's wife and ministers could only turn to the royal city, major forces like the Black and White Institute, and the governor of the friendly island.
This is exactly what James Lloyd came to Storm's End for.
As the youngest son of Governor Lloyd, the Governor's wife doted on him very much.
The Lady hopes to send him away from the Isle of Shining, so that James can stay in a safe place for a while.
James didn't want to leave at this time, but he couldn't resist his mother, so he could only follow the arrangement.
But at the same time, he thought of Li Feng. Li Feng had saved him twice on Rimu Island before, and James trusted him very much.
In James' memory, Li Feng was very powerful and very friendly to him. He was an extraordinary person who could deal with evil pirates.
Therefore, James refused his mother's proposal to send him to the Royal City and insisted on coming to Storm Island to find Li Feng.
"Mr. Rhine, look at this."
James, who was still sobbing, rubbed his eyes and handed a metal bullet casing tightly in his hand to Li Feng:
“I found this at the place where my father was assassinated.
I think it's weird, I've never seen a gun using this type of bullet. "
Li Feng took the hot cartridge case and took a look at the length and caliber.
Unlike Xia and Hazan's doubts, Li Feng was very familiar with this thing.
But no matter what, it really shouldn't appear in the Endless Sea.
He thought of the new star player who robbed the Glory Treasury before, but Li Feng didn't ask immediately.
He just asked first about the spell that could imprison people in paintings.
Shia shook her head. In her life as a dragon, which has lasted longer than most humans, this was the first time she heard of a spell that could put people into paintings.
Like Shia, the troll Hazan, who knew a lot about secret arts, didn't know this kind of magic either.
Seeing that neither of them knew, Li Feng's guess became clearer.
"James, do you think the people who assassinated your father are the same people who robbed the Glory Treasury a few days ago?"
Li Feng asked James.
James was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he sniffed:
"It's possible, my mother and the ministers also guessed the same."
Li Feng nodded:
"Then do you know if your father has kept anything special or taken it with him recently?"
Two days ago, Shia told him that the troll got news from the sea market that what was robbed from the Glory Treasury was the Cinnabar Cup.
So now, if the people who assassinated Governor Lloyd were also Nova players, then they were most likely trying to steal the key medium to awaken the Lava Lord.
And judging from Sia's story, Governor Lloyd was not only killed, but also had his scalp cut off. It was obvious what the purpose of killing him was.
"I don't know. My father thinks I'm young and unmotivated, so he won't tell me anything."
James blamed himself and recalled aggrievedly:
“But one time, I passed by his office and accidentally saw a very crudely carved and ugly statue.
Because the carvings on the statue were weird, I had some impressions. "
"What is it?"
After hearing about the statue, Li Feng immediately asked.
"I remember it was... a two-headed snake."
I've been waiting for a few days. I'm really sorry. Now I'm back to continue writing the story.
Thanks to everyone who is still watching
