Chapter 364

He turned around, only to see Orson floating in the air, looking at him with a smile.

"Captain Mudrick, this is your gift, please sign for it."

Just now, when Mudrick turned around, Orson came behind Mudrick. Then, using the sword still inserted in Mudrick's body as a conductor, he released the lightning magic, directly hitting Mudrick. exploded in his chest.

Mudrick stared at Orson angrily, but was speechless.

Dark red blood continued to flow out from the huge gap in his chest.

Then, he fell down.

After the three-meter-tall body fell, the ground shook slightly and made a sound.

Looking at Mudrick who finally died in front of him, Orson felt relieved.

Then, he bent down and found his storage ring on Mudrick's body. He walked up to Li Te and handed the storage ring to her.

"Here you go, Lite." Orson said, showing a smile.

"This is what you want, right?" Then he handed Mudrick's storage ring to Liteuk.

"Yes." Hearing this, Li Te took the ring Orson gave her and nodded.

"Um...thank you, Orson."

"It's okay." Orson heard this and shook his head. "I was also negligent in this matter. If I had known that Mudrick was connected to the devil and the cult, I would never have let you handle this matter."

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Then, a well-equipped and gorgeous troop appeared in the woods.

They came out surrounded by a man.

Everyone looked over.

Surrounded by a dignified middle-aged man.

Orson recognized him. He was the commander of the imperial city's garrison and an eighth-level knight of the empire. His name was Langdon.

Langdon frowned and walked forward, glanced at everyone present, and then saw the dead body of Mudrick lying on the ground.

After seeing Mudrick's weird skin, he showed a surprised look.

Time goes back to the moment when Mudrick just took the potion and turned into a demon.

Li Te was worried that Mudrick would be detrimental to everyone, so he ordered his men to return to the city quickly and lead the guards here.

Although this incident was regarded as a private fight at the beginning, it has now gone far beyond the nature of a private fight.

Then, the subordinates ran to the city gate and informed them of the demon appearing outside the city.

At first, when they heard the news, the soldiers didn't believe it, but the man who read the news looked horrified and was willing to swear on his life, so they had no choice but to believe him.

After all, demons are not a child's play. If you dare to report a false alarm, the punishment will be quite serious.

Subsequently, the garrison soldiers reported the news to everyone.

Finally, it reached the ears of the garrison commander Langdon.

Langdon has lived forty or fifty years. The last time he heard the name devil was when he was a child. At that time, he heard that he had passed through the desert inhabited by orcs and went to the eastern part of the continent. There were all kinds of strange races there that would pass through. Desert trade routes or sea routes came to the empire.

Among those strange races, the demon race is undoubtedly the most vicious.

They are born with strong blood, but because of their aggressive nature and bad temper, it is difficult for them to adapt to living in groups. Therefore, they are unanimously discriminated against by other races in the Eastern Continent. They can only live in harsh environments and inaccessible wild places, and their numbers are getting smaller every year.

In fact, in the early years of the empire, it was invaded by demons. At that time, a brave man named Kyle appeared in the empire. He led his companions to the Demon King's City, killed the demon king, and killed all the remaining demons. Kill them all from the Western Continent.

After that, the demons that caused great harm to humans also became a species prohibited from entering the empire. If a demon is found in the empire, they will be killed without mercy.

"What's going on?" With that said, Langdon looked at Orson and the others.

At this time, Orson had just helped Virgil up and fed him a bottle of potion. When Langdon asked, he just shrugged.

"I don't know what happened." Orson said, looking at Li Te and Shi.

"Perhaps it would be better to ask these two."

"Forget it." Langdon said this and waved his hand. "Guys, please go back to the imperial city first and then we can talk slowly."

Then, several soldiers stepped forward, moved Mudrick's body onto the carriage beside the road outside the woods, and then covered it with a cloth.

orchid

Deng walked up to a few people and pointed to the carriage outside.

"Guys, please get on the carriage first."

"Okay." Orson heard this and nodded politely.

Next, a few people got on the carriage back to the city.

…

On the other side, the city of Constant.

Constantine is a satellite city near Saint Laurent. It is very small, with a population of no more than 50,000. The mayor of the city is a baron under the emperor.

The doctor was whistling and strolling on the streets of Constantinople, looking very happy.

Now, he has changed his clothes from a white suit to a doctor's white coat. He is also carrying a medical kit in his hand, looking quite professional.

He had just accepted a mission on the mission list of the Adventurers Association in the city.

Recently, Baron Drizzt in the city has been feeling a little unwell. He has been suffering from headaches and cannot look well. Even if the priest from the city is invited to come, all he can do is relieve the pain.

So, Drizzt gave the Adventurer's Association a task. Anyone who had some knowledge of medicine and could cure Drizzt's headache would be rewarded with one thousand gold coins.

So the doctor took the task.

After rushing for about half an hour, the doctor appeared in front of the Baron's mansion.

The soldier in charge of guarding the gate saw the doctor coming and stopped him.

"What are you doing?!" the soldier asked.

"Ah, sir, I'm sent by the Adventurer's Association." As he said this, the doctor took out the task list he had opened at the Adventurer's Association.

"Here, please take a look."

The soldier glanced at the task list in the doctor's hand, carefully read the seal of the Adventurer's Association on it, and nodded.

"I know, I'll report it."

Then, the soldier turned and walked into the mansion, and a minute later, he walked out again.

"Lord Drizzt agreed, you can go in." The soldier said this and prepared to walk into the Duke's mansion with the doctor.

Entering the living room, a pale, extremely thin young man sat on the main seat. He was supporting his head with one hand at the moment. His face was not good, as if he was trying to endure some pain.

"You are the doctor who is going to come and see me?" Drizzt said, opening his eyes and looking at the doctor.

"Yes." The doctor bowed respectfully. "Lord Drizzt, I have been traveling around and practicing medicine for ten years. I have also dabbled in some difficult and complicated diseases. Regarding your condition, Lord Drizzt, I think I can do something to help."

"Okay." Drizzt heard this, stared at the doctor carefully for a long time, and finally nodded. "Then, let's go in first."

As he said this, he stood up with the handrail and walked into the inner room.

Hearing this, the doctor nodded and followed him.

"Lord Drizzt, the Duke's mansion is so big, but I don't think you have hired many servants?"

"Ah..." Drizzt paused after hearing this, and then said: "I like quietness. After my father passed away a year ago, the servants hired by my family were all hourly workers, and they went back home directly after work."

"Oh, you are not like other nobles who treat servants as their own private property." The doctor said this and smiled.

"Hehe." Drizzt just smiled and didn't say much.

"By the way, Lord Drizzt, you look almost 30 years old, don't you have a wife at home?"

Hearing this, Drizzt stopped where he was, turned around and looked at the doctor.

As if he was stimulated by something, his tone became a little stiff.

"You are a doctor, not here to check my family background, right?"

"Ah, sorry, I am abrupt." The doctor said this and bowed to Drizzt. "It's just that when I was practicing medicine, I used to find the cause of the patient's illness from the patient's previous life. If this is too offensive to you, I apologize."

"... It's okay." Seeing the doctor's sincerity, Drizzt just shook his head and said nothing. "For some reasons, I didn't marry a wife."

Then, the two went upstairs and came to Drizzt's bedroom on the second floor.

"Then let's talk here first. It's not convenient downstairs just now, and I'm not feeling well now." Drizzt said so, lying on the bed, motioning the doctor to sit down.

The doctor also nodded, then closed the door and sat on the guest seat.

"Please tell me, when did your symptoms start?"

"Okay..." Drizzt nodded after hearing this.

...

"So, this is what happened?" Sitting in the interrogation room, Langdon looked at Litt in front of him and asked.

"Yes." Litt nodded. "It's true that we asked Mudrick out because of some personal grudges, but Mudrick's subsequent actions have completely crossed the line. I suggest that we strictly investigate those who have had contact with the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group before."

"I understand." Langdon nodded. "Then, Mr. Lit, you can go back."

"Okay." Lit nodded after hearing this, and then stood up and left the interrogation room.

Just now in the carriage, Orson told Lit, Virgil and Shi how to make the confessions in the future. After learning the details from Lit, he made up a suitable confession.

Before, Lit's adoptive parents in the countryside were kidnapped by the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. Therefore, Lit took the initiative to find Mudrick in order to find out who was behind the scenes, but because he was worried about Mudrick's seventh-level strength, Lit had to ask Shi to be his guard.

Later, Mudrick saw that he could not get an advantage from Shi and even faintly could not beat Shi, so he had to drink the bottle of magic potion.

Then, Orson happened to pass by nearby and was attracted by the fighting here. After rushing here, he and Shi subdued Mudrick.

"Orson, you are the last one." After Lit came out, he glanced at Orson who was still sitting outside, and then said.

"Okay." Orson nodded after hearing this.

Then, he walked into the interrogation room.

And this time, there was not only Langdon sitting in the interrogation room, but also a familiar figure.

"Her Highness Elsa?" Orson looked at Elsa with a surprised look.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Elsa smiled.

"I am sitting next to Knight Commander Landon as a royal juror this time. I won't say much, just make a record." Elsa said this in a relaxed tone. "Master Orson, don't be so formal. This is the process of the imperial interrogation."

"I know." Orson also nodded with a smile. "In that case, let me tell you what I saw."

Orson told the two interrogators about his "experience".

After Orson finished speaking, Landon nodded, and then looked at Orson.

"Master Orson, what you said is basically the same as what the previous few people described."

He continued: "But I have a question, why did you happen to be there when it happened?"

"That's it." Orson had long expected Landon to ask this question, and he said calmly: "In fact, Lit had kept this matter from me before, but I still learned about it from others, so I was worried at the time and followed him."

"Is that so." Landon heard this and nodded. "Well, the interrogation is over, you can go back, Mr. Orson."

"Okay." Orson was about to get up when he heard this, but Elsa beside him spoke.

"Mr. Orson, since the interrogation is over now, I want to ask some questions, can I?"

"Of course, Your Highness." Orson replied politely.

"You, are you at the seventh level?"

"Yes." Orson nodded. "I was already at the seventh level before, but I didn't think it was necessary to announce it."

"However, after this incident, I think everyone should have known it."

"Congratulations, Mr. Orson." Elsa said this, and her tone unexpectedly carried a different meaning.

Like, jealousy.

You know, a few months ago, when she was promoted to the sixth level magician, the royal family specially held a banquet.
