Glan Natural Science Academy Chapter 75: Mysterious death incident
Ten days passed in a flash.
Regrettably, due to the death of Earl Will’s daughter, the military department must absolutely ensure the integrity and reliability of the investigation report. Therefore, the military merits Leilo had hoped for has not yet arrived.
guards the altar for 10 days and earns 3 points of military merit.
Even if you want to redeem the Wand of Heart of Fire, which requires the least military merit, you need to complete 20 duty missions, which is 200 days, more than half a year has passed.
Not to mention that the upgrade assessment time has already passed, and even a bottle of D-type body quencher can't be exchanged.
This is because Leiluo, as a ‘magic’, is a scarce person in the fortress. It is relatively easy to earn military merit. Ordinary soldiers want to earn military merit. The difficulty is almost several times that of Leiluo!
Fortunately, through these 10-day missions to guard the altar, Lei Luo not only clarified his future pursuit of truth and knowledge, but also considered the first glimpse of the study of energy runes. The future involves the altar and refining magic. When you are using the device, you don’t know anything about it, and you learn more with less.
Bai Xing and Yulia went out to perform covert surveillance missions, and they were beyond the scope of Magic Mirror's contact.
Xiao Kang’s job as an inspector of logistics materials is simply very lucrative. I don’t know what this guy promised the old man. He actually got this kind of task that needs to be dealt with in order to get a relationship. He wouldn’t be with Lei Luo. Adventure mission out for a trip.
Reluctantly, Lei Luo had to be alone. After thousands of choices, he received the task of "investigating the death of Heiyan Mountain".
Black Rock Mountain, at the foot of the Furnace Mountains, there is a remote town.
Generally speaking, it belongs to the territory of the Principality of Gran, but it has hardly paid a silver coin to the Principality. Even the Principality of Sealand does not bother to harass the remote place.
If it hadn’t been during the war, the fortress would need to unite all the forces against the Principality of Sealand. As usual, even if the residents of Black Rock Mountain were dead, the fortress would never send an investigator to post a related task.
"Dear Master Wen Lai, I am Lei Luo, a first-year student of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences. This is my mission scroll."
Lei Luo salutes the elderly scholar respectfully, looking like a shy student at school.
Master Wen Lai is a magician consultant who has been stationed in the fortress for a long time. He is a lot of age, but he is still only a natural scholar degree. If he is at the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences, he can only work as a tutor, laboratory research clerk, etc. .
But in the fortress, he has already entered the ranks of mid-level officers.
If the title is to be considered, the status of the Wenlai master is even higher than that of the average viscount.
Leello’s mission on this trip is to follow Master Wen Lai as an investigative assistant to investigate the mysterious deaths of the residents of Black Rock Mountain.
"Hmm."
Master Wen Lai is wearing a black dragon-print robe, holding a ruby wand, and riding a mutant red-eyed goat monster under his crotch. His body is amazing, similar to a horse, and a pair of horns are majestic and majestic.
"I heard that the Academy of Sciences released a mission for military performance assessment?"
Lei Luo respectfully said: "Yes, for three months, I will be a second-year student after the assessment."
"To maintain the necessary humility, learn more from the soldiers here, they are all elites who have come out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and can teach you many things that you can't learn in the academy, such as...killing! Haha Don’t be afraid. To deal with this kind of thing sensibly, just treat it as an anatomy of a special specimen."
The old man relieved Lei Luo.
Lei Luo smiled shyly again, without saying much.
Next to Master Wenley, there are seven soldiers, just like the soldiers of the Principality of Sealand who hijacked the airship. They are well armed and well-armed. Knowing how powerful these soldiers are, Lei Luo came to the captain and said humblely: "Hello, I My name is Lei Luo, please take care of everyone along the way."
Team Captain is a man about 30 years old. Seeing that Lei Luo is not as arrogant as the little guys before, he secretly relieved.
It would be really troublesome to offend these St. Granburg magicians, not to mention their own influence on the fortress tower, they might be the dignitaries of a family. There have been such precedents in the fortress before.
"Mr. Magician, you are welcome. You can call me Ivan. On this journey, we will do our best to be responsible for the safety of you and the master and assist you in completing the investigation."
After a short while, several people left the fortress’s great gate, walked on a remote path, and disappeared into the vast mountains.
A few hourglass time lonely journey, but quite calm.
" Over this mountain, I arrived at Black Rock Mountain. I heard that the barbarians there were very bloodthirsty. Before the fortress was established, many of the tourists who passed by were eaten by those guys. Later, because of their wisdom The faith and education of the Temple of the Goddess gradually became the citizens of the Principality."
All the way to the mountains, no one rode a horse, only the mutant goat monster of Master Wen Lai walked on the ground.
is finally about to reach Black Rock Mountain.
Looking around, there are red-black rocks everywhere, as if bloody, sparse vegetation, few pitiful, at first glance it is a barren land with sturdy folk customs, everyone stopped a little, and looked at it uncertainly. The surrounding environment.
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, the longbow knight in the back of the line yelled, but a gravel fell on the steep ridge.
After panicking and avoiding the center, I looked over my head and saw nothing, except for this ordinary landslide. Only the archer showed a little panic.
"I seem to see a black-haired monster in the shape of a human, just spying on us from above. Although a few hundred meters apart, I did not see clearly, but I can still feel the icy coldness of the bone marrow, which is by no means an illusion!"
A humanoid black-haired monster?
Everyone looked at Master Wen Lai, but Master Wen Lai just frowned and did not express.
"Maybe some kind of monster?"
Lei Luo guessed the true identity of the monster that the archer said, but suddenly noticed something, and said in amazement: "Here...it seems too quiet! Even the birds and insects have disappeared."
When everyone was said by Lei Luo, they suddenly noticed the heinously weird and quiet Zhouren, and then thought of the panic-stricken archer's narration, I couldn’t help feeling cold behind my back, and seemed to be stared at by something terrible. , Shuddering.
"It is winter now, and it is so desolate here. It is possible that there are some special magnetic fields under the mountains, and it is normal that there are no birds and insects."
Master Wen Lai looked at Lei Luo: "Afraid?"
"No, no."
Lei Luo hurriedly said: "It just feels abnormal. I am responsible for assisting the master in this task. I will go wherever the master goes."
As a natural scholar, the strength of this master of Wen Lai is naturally not comparable to that of Lei Luo.
Although Master Wenley has a lower bachelor's degree, he is at least a second-level energy magnetic field.
As far as Lei Luo knows, the secondary energy magnetic field, which is a kind of high-level energy of gasification, is also called the energy field. In addition to blessing the academic power to a certain extent, there is also an autonomous release of energy masks. The strength of the protective layer is amazing, and it lasts for a long time. I am afraid that the strength of the energy shield on the balloon airship is also not as strong.
After all, the energy shield of a scholar has a much smaller area, so the defense strength per unit area is naturally better.
Everyone took a deep breath and continued to move forward.
For some reason, Leiluo’s right eyelid jumped wildly, and his heart was inexplicably anxious, as if the scarlet black rocks were filled with horror and uncertainty. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at him coldly in the shadow, following his own Turning his head and looking, these eyes flashed in the darkness again.
half an hourglass time later.
Far away, everyone saw the small town built on the mountainside.
The materials for the houses in the town are also the red black rocks nearby. From a distance, there are about a hundred huts, and even the church of the Goddess of Wisdom, which is simple but the tallest building in the town, can be seen from a distance.
Ivan took out the binoculars, frowned and said: "No one."
However, when he looked back, he was stunned to find that the last enlisted magic apprentice had used his weird magic to conjure two bubbles and used a paper tube to form a larger telescope, which seemed to be more observable. Clear look.
After a while, the magic apprentice shook his head with a heavy heart, and silently looked at the Brunei master.
looked up at the sky, it was already evening, the sky had completely dimmed, and the clouds were so dense that it seemed that there might be a heavy rainstorm at any time.
咩……
the red-eyed goat monster under the hips screamed restlessly. After a moment of silence, the Brunei master said firmly and lowly: "Go on."
No one said much, the whole team was terribly quiet, only the sound of footsteps on the rocks could be heard. It seemed that everyone was frightened by the weird atmosphere here.
Master Wen Lai and Lei Luo, although they also faintly felt some unspeakable anxiety, as scholars, they must seek truth from facts. This investigation mission is to investigate the unknown situation of the Black Rock Mountain. For certain dangers, he hurriedly retreated with fright.
"Damn it! No wonder the mission reward is based on the survey results to give 5-20 points of military merit. The original military personnel have been aware of some possible dangers here, and they are ignorant."
, thinking about how to face the unknown danger, under Lei Luo's sleeves, one hand held the energy shield scroll tightly, and the other hand took out the wind kite fan.
Finally, everyone walked into the town.
There is no one!
The quiet and terrible small town ~ IndoMTL.com~ but there is no obvious trace of battle. Everyone moved, and the metal armor was rubbing and colliding from house to house. However, the more the search, the colder the hearts of everyone. , And gathered together again after a while.
"The food is still there, but all domestic animals and people are gone, not even a dog!"
"It's like...everyone disappeared suddenly overnight, is it a wizard?"
"It didn’t disappear overnight, but disappeared in batches! There was a temporary fortress built there. They should be extremely frightened, knowing they could not escape, so they stood desperately in the fortress for help... You still Go and see for yourself."
in a heavy tone, everyone followed the soldier.
After a short while, everyone came to a house temporarily reinforced with stones. There were many traces of human activities around it. This was obviously the last place for people in the town to stay.
Walking into the fortress, everyone was immediately smoked by the smell of excrement and urine inside. Master Wen Lai's expression did not change, and he walked in the forefront without saying a word.
On the black stone wall on the second floor of the house, there are countless blood paw prints, telling the deceased’s fear during his lifetime.
"In the last period, they were completely scared by something. They didn't even dare to get out of the room. They **** and pee in the room, but they were still killed by the things they feared. Moreover, the things they feared, It should have been breached from this room, and then rushed to the second floor, killing them one by one in this enclosed space."
Captain Ivan’s tone was heavy, everyone seemed to be able to feel the despair of the survivors in this room.
However...
The 偌big fortress, apart from the countless blood paw prints on the wall of the second floor, there is not even a bone?
