Chapter 227
Dust off his body and Loren, who walked over the corpses everywhere, kicked open the door of the crutches to help base camp. The wooden door that was already on the verge of collapse simply couldn't stand it." "Hong" fell to the ground and turned into two pieces of rotten wood.
There is also dead silence in the house.
The murdered gangsters and gangsters fell to the ground in various forms, but they were basically wiped off their necks. The messy corpses were piled up with almost all the places where they could stay. It didn't seem like it was possible to leave any alive.
It's quiet like a tomb.
But this does not mean that there will be no clues left, Loren frowned, carefully searching on the blood-stained floor, trying not to miss any abnormalities, and the dark pupils are constantly focusing Zoom in, trying to find something "not the same" in those blood stains.
The note written to Alto Bellini was intentional, but he didn’t expect it to cause such a fierce reaction from this genius alchemist, which was far beyond him. Expected.
Since the opponent has done this step, he will definitely spare no effort to destroy himself, because he will do the same if he changes to Loren. If a potential enemy with strong hostility and threats cannot cooperate temporarily, it must be eliminated, otherwise serious disasters will be left behind.
After all, no one wants to have an all-weather deliberate, whole-heartedly trying to kill your enemy, do they?
Therefore, we must not leave any weak spots and opportunities for the enemy, especially...Huh? Eyebrows raised, Loren knelt down when he noticed something, his expression slightly serious.
Although there are blood stains on the floor, it does not mean that every one is exactly the same. The length of clotting time will change the color of the blood, and the fresh blood covering the original blood stain will be blurred, but There are still traces left.
This place at the foot is very obvious, extending from the gate position all the way forward, blocked by a few dead bodies before and after, and then on the stairs, the amount of bleeding is very huge-so the conclusion is , A certain gang member did not die directly after being seriously injured, but struggled for a long time, and after the mercenaries left, they climbed all the way to the second floor.
For a dying person, this requires extremely strong will. He must be very clear that he has absolutely no way to survive after climbing such a long distance, but he still has to finish it.
So... no matter what he wants to do, this person is a potential threat to himself, a time bomb. The frowned Loren looked at the dead people in the full house behind him, and walked up the stairs blankly, followed the blood stains to the door of a house.
Loren has already guessed who the person in the room is.
Pushing open the door, the dark red bloodstain extends to the deepest part of the house, and a scarfaced man named Luca with the same name as a certain wizard war dancer is sitting in a chair that originally belonged to Van Sterno Above, face pale panting, with a high-level briar pipe in his mouth, and a satisfied smile.
"You are finally here, Master Ain Rand wizard." The scarred face was dangling, and his hoarse voice was a bit proud: "I have been here until now in order to wait for you to come."
"There are some things that I must tell you before I die!"
……………… In the dilapidated wood house, Verlo who was tied to a chair Bellini's head hung on his chest, his wounded limbs still twitching slightly.
Edward, the night watchman standing in front of him, held his shoulders and looked at this extremely precious prisoner with a complicated expression. His mood was even worse, even far beyond his expectations.
"How is the situation, how much does he know?"
Peter Fasha, who should have been "hanged", is standing there as if he is okay at this moment. Looking at Verlo who has passed out, he is still somewhat worried: "Are you sure he won't wake up suddenly?"
"You can rest assured, he is no different from the dead within two quarters of an hour. , Except for heartbeat and pulse." Edward replied casually, still staring motionlessly at the mentor of Aalto.
Peter nodded, Edward, who was born in Gutter Lane, is the most proficient in interrogation among the remaining people. Since he made a guarantee, there will be no problem: "Your expression looks a little strange."
"I am not just a little weird, things are much worse than you think, and even worse than any of us imagined!" The indifferent Edward frowned, and sighed then said helplessly:
"There are two news, one is good and the other is bad, which one are you going to listen to first?"
"Really?"
"No, fake . We have only one bad news and one worse news, and any one you will not want to hear."
Edward’s tone is very dejected: "First of all, our priority is our priority. Now it can be regarded as a failure. It’s—Isaac Grantham, or any information about the Holy Blood Potion, the Master Verlow really knows nothing, not even the least!
I originally wanted to share some of Aalto's used equipment, borrowed books, and materials needed for the recipe with him... But he didn't know anything. All these things were Aalto's own. Handling it by himself, Verlo doesn’t even have the right to intervene!
Of course, it is also possible that he doesn’t intend to intervene at all. But I doubt that the entire Bellini family is basically responsible for the Holy Blood Elixir. All of them are in a state of ignorance, and their level of understanding may not be as good as the wizards of the nine-pointed star wizard tower. They only know that this thing is very useful. After all, the Bellini family has never been a famous wizard. Family!"
"In other words, if you want to get the potion, you can only catch Alto Bellini himself?" Peter Fasa's expression is extremely ugly: "This is an endless loop at all !"
Nodded, which Edward agrees with on the side-wants to get the recipe of the Holy Blood Elixir, you must capture Alto himself; but if they can do this, why bother to it?
They have tried their best just to catch Verlow. Even Peter Fasar himself had to be "dead" and could no longer appear in the nine-pointed star wizard tower. This is equivalent to Cut off an intelligence source for them!
In comparison, Aalto’s defenses will be tighter than Verlow, and he himself must be much more cautious than his mentor, trying to trick him into leaving Eboden and his side with a lie or two. The guard, that is basically impossible.
"The mission has failed, let Vera and the others prepare to evacuate from here." Peter is now even more depressed than Edward, and waved his hand weakly: "The Bellini family must have received the news. Someone will come to rescue Verlow in a while, we must leave as soon as possible, and then help Your Excellency Loren Torino!"
"Before that, there is second, worse news." Edwards His expression was more solemn than before: "It's about the transaction between Holy Cross Church and Bellini's family."
Peter immediately became nervous.
"It seems that the Bellini family has realized how unpopular they are in the nine-pointed star wizard tower. The reason why the wizards can tolerate them is because the Bellini family is wealthy. , And its influence on the mercenary group employed in the city. As long as the Bellini family is still there, Eboden can maintain prosperity and stability.
But the Bellini family pursues more than just these, so they It is indeed intended to form an alliance with the Holy Cross. When the new bishop arrives in Eboden, the Bellini family will donate the recipe of the Holy Blood Elixir to the church, and they seem to be preparing to use it on a large scale in Eboden.
This is a win-win situation for both of them; the Bellini family will gain great prestige, and the church will establish authority in the hearts of the people at the bottom-in Eboden, the headquarters of the wizard world is renewed Establish a positive image of the church."
"This, this...what are they going to do?!" Peter was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "This is Eboden! Besides, even if they are really In doing so, this is a brand new medicine. Who knows what its effect is without testing?!"
"So they started it a long time ago."
Edward His expression is not much better than Peter's: "A few months ago, after Rutte Infinite led us to fight for the Holy Blood Potion, the Bellini family had already started experimenting on living people. , And the scale is huge."
"Then why no one found out...wait! is it possible that they..." Peter suddenly guessed a terrifying fact.
"Yes." Edward nodded:
"It's in the sewer."
