Chapter 112 Investigation

"Let's go inside and check it out first, maybe we can find some clues." Enzo said after a while.

Then, the convoy entered Yangjiao Village.

After the small village burned by the fire, it was now all scorched earth. In the collapsed ruins, the broken bones of some villagers could be vaguely seen.

"Three months ago, Yangjiao Village experienced a death incident." As he walked forward, Orlandon narrated, "More than 3,000 people in the village died quietly in their sleep. No scars were found on them."

"When I received the news and rushed here, I could clearly feel the residual energy fluctuations around me!"

"Energy fluctuations?" Enzo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you found the source?"

"Unfortunately, no." Orlandon shook his head and sighed, "The energy fluctuations were very strong at the time, and I didn't dare to act rashly. In the following time, the energy fluctuations became weaker and weaker, and it was impossible to find the source."

"Chip, scan the surroundings." Enzo said calmly in his heart.

"Ding! Scanning detected mild radiation energy around." The mechanical voice sounded, and the chip gave an answer, but Enzo frowned slightly.

"Is it really some kind of energy that exploded in Yangjiao Village, causing all the villagers to die?" Enzo's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light, and he asked in his heart, "Chips, analyze the detected energy intensity, what are the consequences for the human body?"

"Analyze the radiation energy contained in the air. Ordinary people will gradually weaken if they bear it for a long time, and may eventually lead to death. The host has magic power in the body and can automatically generate resistance."

"Wizards can resist, but mortals can't." Enzo stroked his chin and thought, "What could it be?"

"Since we want to investigate here, why don't we act separately." Arriving at the central area of ​​Yangjiao Village, Orlandon suggested, "This way, the speed can be faster."

"Okay, okay." Enzo thought for a while and nodded.

Then, the convoy separated. Orlandon ordered the cavalry to investigate in the north, and he went to the west, while Enzo and Diaz also went to the east and south respectively.

Separated from Orlanton, Enzo can act more freely.

"Radiation energy can kill ordinary people, but it often takes a long process." Enzo walked forward, looking around the scene, thinking: "The death incident in Yangjiao Village happened overnight, and it is not caused by radiation energy."

Walking into a collapsed house, Enzo squatted beside a charred corpse.

"The body was burned by the flames, and there is no clue." He reached out and grabbed a ball of ashes, muttering: "The timing of this fire was too coincidental, it can't be an accident at all."

"What is Orlanton covering up?" Enzo's eyes flickered.

Standing up, he continued to check the surrounding houses, trying to detect some useful information with the chip, but because of the fire, all traces related to the strange incident have been completely wiped out.

A morning passed, and Enzo found nothing.

"Ding! 100 meters ahead, residual traces of soul energy were found." The mechanical voice suddenly sounded, Enzo raised his head and saw a rock tower standing not far ahead.

That was the tallest building in Yangjiao Village, and it did not collapse after the baptism of the fire.

"Traces of soul energy? Is it a place where the undead have appeared?" Enzo's eyes flashed, and he planned to go forward to check.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the north side of Yangjiao Village.

Enzo's face was stern, and he rushed over immediately.

Quickly came to the place where the shout came from, Orlanton had arrived in advance, surrounded by a group of cavalrymen, there was a big tree, its crown had already withered, but the gray trunk was extremely thick.

"Sir, we found this place when we investigated just now."

A cavalryman bowed and said to Orlanton: "The fire spread to Yangjiao Village, everything was burned, but this tree was safe and sound, it's really a bit strange."

"Well, there is something wrong." Orlanton nodded slightly, and glanced at Enzo.

"Whip, test!" Enzo stepped forward and cast his eyes on the big tree.

"Ding! Energy radiation is found ahead."

"You guys, dig up this tree." Before Enzo could speak, Orlandon had already ordered the cavalry to start digging under the tree with tools.

A lot of soil was dug up, revealing the roots under the tree.

"Sir, a piece of ore was found!" Half an hour later, as the cavalry dug, a cold breath gradually emanated from the tree, and a piece of blue ore the size of a skull was dug out.

"This is... tungsten energy stone!" Orlandon exclaimed.

Enzo's eyes moved, and he searched for information about tungsten energy stone in his mind.

According to the data recorded by the chip, tungsten energy stone is a radioactive mineral. Under certain special circumstances, it will release its own energy to the surroundings and produce certain energy fluctuations.

"Are the deaths in Yangjiao Village all due to this tungsten energy stone?" Enzo muttered to himself.

"It seems that it's because of this thing!" Orlanton took the tungsten energy stone presented by the knight and said with a wry smile: "This kind of ore is not common in the mortal world. It is usually used by wizards for experiments."

Enzo lowered his head and said nothing, but a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes.

"I'm really lucky to find this on the first day of the investigation." After a moment, he raised his head and chuckled, "Senior Orlanton, can you give me the tungsten energy stone as a certificate for this mission?"

"Of course, no problem." Orlanton nodded quickly and said with a smile, "I am here to investigate the death incident in Yangjiao Village under the order of the academy. Now that the cause has been found, I have to submit the mission certificate!"

"Thank you very much, senior." Enzo nodded and thanked him.

A trace of joy flashed in Orlanton's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the tungsten energy stone in his hand to Enzo, and then ordered the cavalry to return to Snow Hoof City.

After a morning of investigation, the tungsten energy stone was successfully found.

The cause of the death incident in Yangjiao Village seemed to be found out. Orlanton and Enzo returned to Snow Hoof Castle. After Enzo proposed to write an investigation report, he returned to his room.

"Tungsten energy stone? Humph!" In the room, Enzo played with the blue ore in his hand and sneered, "Orlanton really spent a lot of effort to fool me."

"If I didn't have the chip, I might really believe his lies!"

According to the information recorded in the chip, tungsten energy stone is indeed a radioactive mineral, but the energy it can produce can only kill some poultry such as chickens and ducks at most, and it is impossible to cause the collective death of 3,000 people in Yangjiao Village.

"You want to mislead me through tungsten energy stone to cover up the truth of the matter?"

Enzo narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"What kind of secrets does a third-level apprentice who has been sent out by the academy for 20 years and has no hope of being promoted to a formal wizard in this life hide?"
