Chapter 111 Yangjiao Village

At night, in a luxurious room.

On the soft big bed, Enzo sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and magic light spots jumped around his body. During the meditation, those light spots sank into his body.

Enzo opened his eyes with his eyelids trembling.

"The improvement of mental power lies in meditation over time. Although I am not in the wizard academy now, the energy particles around me are relatively thin, but continuing daily meditation is better than nothing."

"At the banquet today, Orlandon seemed a little strange."

Enzo's eyes flashed with a thoughtful luster, holding his chin with his arm.

"According to the information obtained by the mission office, the population death incident in Yangjiao Village occurred three months ago, and during this period, the former lord of Snow Hoof City happened to pass away. Is there any connection between the two?"

"And who sent the black shadow that attacked me yesterday?"

A gust of evening wind blew into the room through the window, and the candlelight on the table swayed.

On the ground, a shadow suddenly flashed.

"Who!" Enzo raised his head suddenly, and a gleam of brilliance burst out of his eyes.

The shadow that had just sneaked into the room was startled. It rushed to the door and drilled out through the gap between the door and the ground. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Chip, scan!"

Enzo quickly got up from the bed and swept his eyes over the place where the shadow disappeared.

"Ding! Residual negative energy factors were found in the room, suspected to be a soul!"

The mechanical voice sounded in his mind. Although the shadow just flashed by, the traces left could not escape the chip detection.

"Spirit? Undead?" Enzo frowned slightly.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Dias rushed in with a solemn face. He quickly looked around the room and seemed to be relieved to see that Enzo was safe and sound.

"Master, I felt something came in just now." Dias said in a deep voice.

During the growth of the Magic Knight, because he took a lot of magic potions, he was extremely sensitive to certain energies. Dias had been guarding the door of the room before. After feeling the breath of the undead, he immediately rushed in.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." Enzo said calmly, his eyes flickering slightly.

In the wizard world, undead are not rare. Anyone who dies may become an unconscious soul body, but the shadow that appeared just now is not one of them. Judging from the reaction, it is obviously coming for Enzo.

"What do you mean? Are you testing?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.

In a secret room in Snow Hoof Castle.

In the dim space, a figure in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back. He had no expression on his face and his eyes were closed. When a shadow came in through the gap under the door of the secret room, he slowly turned around.

"What did you gain?" The white-robed figure said indifferently.

"I'm sorry, sir." The human-shaped shadow condensed by the soul body crawled on the ground and said, "The target is very alert. I was discovered by him before I got close."

"Waste!" The white-robed figure scolded.

The shadow's body crouched lower and couldn't help trembling.

"Forget it, I didn't expect you to be of any use." The white-robed figure shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Have you found Irenfu's hiding place?"

"Not yet." Shadow shook his head, and then hurriedly said, "However, the people below have sent news that Irenfu's traces were found in Yangjiao Village. I believe it won't take long to find him."

The white-robed figure's expression eased slightly, and a trace of murderous intent appeared on his face.

"Give the order, once Irenfu's traces are found, kill him on the spot at all costs!" The white-robed figure's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "The matter of Yangjiao Village has attracted the attention of the academy, and Irenfu's trouble must be solved as soon as possible."

"As you say, Lord Orlandon." Shadow replied respectfully.

The next day, early in the morning.

A ray of light passed through the clouds, and golden light spread to the earth.

Dongdong!

The knock on the door woke Enzo up from his meditation. He slowly opened his eyes and said in a calm voice, "Come in."

"Sir, Lord Orlanton invites you to have breakfast." The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed as a butler bowed and saluted. Four maids followed behind him, each holding water and towels.

"Got it." Enzo responded without raising his head.

Several young maids immediately stepped forward and began to serve Enzo to wash and brush his teeth. After a while, they helped him prepare everything and put on his robes.

"How was your rest?" Enzo saw Orlanton in the hall.

"It's much more comfortable than in the academy. Thank you for your hospitality." Enzo replied with a chuckle, but he never mentioned the undead sneaking into the room yesterday.

"Haha, that's good." Orlanton looked normal and told the butler to prepare breakfast.

Afterwards, the two of them sat at the table and chatted while enjoying breakfast. Enzo tried to learn as much information about Snow Hoof City as possible during the conversation with Orlanton, and sorted it out using the chip.

After a while, the two of them finished their breakfast.

"It's getting late, I want to go to Sheep Horn Village to have a look." Enzo asked, wiping the food residue from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Let's start now?" Orlanton chuckled and suggested, "There's still plenty of time, and there's no rush for the mission. A batch of female slaves have just been sent from the North. Why don't you relax in Snow Hoof City for a few days first?"

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but business is more important." Enzo remained calm and watched the changes in Orlanton's expression.

"Oh, so that's it." Orlanton's face remained unchanged and smiled, "It's better to do business first, then I'll tell the people below to prepare in a while."

"Okay." Enzo nodded slightly, but he felt a little surprised in his heart.

The castle steward quickly prepared a carriage, and under the escort of a team of cavalry, Enzo and Orlanton left Snow Hoof City.

Sheep Horn Village is located in the south of Snow Hoof City, only a few kilometers away. After leaving the city gate and crossing a forest, the convoy soon arrived outside a quiet village.

"Is this Sheep Horn Village?" Enzo frowned.

In front of him was a ruin. The former small village has now become a ruin. It seems that it had experienced a fire not long ago. It has been burned here, leaving only charred buildings and a thick layer of ash on it.

"A month ago, the nearby forest was ignited by lightning."

Orlanton sighed and said.

"After the previous death incident in Sheep Horn Village, all the villagers had died, so when the fire came, no one stopped it, which led to the current situation here."

"What a coincidence?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.

"Alas, it's my fault." Orlanton shook his head and said, "After the death, I should have sent people to guard here, but the fire happened to be the day when Enos succeeded to the throne, so everyone stayed in Snowhoof City."

Enzo said nothing, but his eyes flickered slightly.

Even without chip analysis, he could feel that Orlanton's explanation was abnormal. Coupled with what happened last night, he felt that this matter was not simple.
