Chapter 573
The Scarlet Blood Castle wizard tower... Compared with the wizard Academy Loren has seen in the past, it is really inferior.
But this is not surprising-apart from Sackland and Eboden, no duchy in the empire has a complete wizard system; most areas of the empire have only a few wizards, and A looser school system.
This is the case in the Bayern area. Because of the division of Duchy, each count has only a wizard association composed of local wizards. There are usually only a dozen official wizards, who have the qualifications of nine-pointed star wizard tower instructor. There are only two or three people at most; as for Elder level, there is no one at all.
In addition to the more prosperous Knight system by Byrne, which makes the overwhelming majority more willing to become Knights, there are also the empire’s intentional or unintentional suppression elements... Among the many disciplines of the wizard, the most practical There are two majors in alchemy and herbal medicine, and most of the talents in these two disciplines are concentrated in East and West Sackland.
Funding from the Imperial Family, the trade union and Chamber of Commerce, the army’s attention...With the dual blessing of reputation and wealth, overwhelming majority alchemists and Potion Masters are more willing to stay in Sackland ; Among the many disciplines of the wizard, only these two disciplines are the most practical and have the greatest impact on the development of a region.
However, when Steward Charles, who came with him, introduced him to him, Loren immediately put away his contempt at first sight.
This seemingly rudimentary and very old wizard tower was actually founded by the Freyswalker Master? !
In Eboden, Loren had a relationship with the Freswalker Master, and he had visited his manor in the suburbs. He was even responsible for the official appointment ceremony in the wizard tower.
Although the structure of the wizard world is very loose, the division between schools and departments is very strict. Each of the twelve Elders of the nine-pointed star wizard tower represents an important branch of school. ;
Like Freswalk, he is the mentor of Wimpal Academy Peter, and Peter is the mentor of Dalton Kander.
There is no strict departmental division between schools, but there are very strict differences on the cognitive level-just the Corona, Albert and Freyswalker I have seen , Their three people's attitudes towards emptiness include utilization, avoidance, and awe, which can basically be regarded as the main difference between schools.
And Loren is more unusual... He is a wizard of the Fresswok school, but he really came into contact with Valve under the guidance of Corona, which can be regarded as a hybrid of the two schools-but fortunately, Frey Swark Master has a good relationship with Corona, and he doesn't care too much about this kind of thing.
Although the entire wizard tower looks rudimentary, it has a large collection of books and various precious documents. It contains many manuscripts of the Fresswalker Master and many famous wizards by Byrne when they were young. The background is very profound. .
Loren once visited the Freswalk Master’s library tower when he was in Eboden. This wizard tower is almost an "enhanced version" of the library tower—all the walls have been transformed into bookcases. And there are special apprentices responsible for management, and the functions and laboratories of each floor are also clearly divided.
At the same time, there are a total of ten mentor-level wizards registered in the nine-pointed star wizard tower, including this wizard tower, which is also one of the institutions under the nine-pointed star wizard tower.
These alone are enough to make Loren, the "outsider" put away his contempt.

"This is it."
p>In the spacious chairperson’s study, Steward Charles standing behind Loren looked at the room trembling with fear, and said:
"This is the last murder of'vampire' The scene-the president of the Scarlet Castle Wizard Association, sorcerer McAllen Freswalker, had been a wandering Knight and mercenary for a while when he was young, and he was the only victim who had resisted before his death. "
"I specifically asked the wizards to vacate the scene and place it as it was at the time of the crime." Charles frowned: "Although many traces have been destroyed by the patrol of the Government House, I hope This can make up for something."
"Many thanks." Loren shrugged, turned his head and laughed at Charles: "I thought you would hold a grudge for what I said that day."
"Where and where, I am the one who should apologize-no matter what the purpose is, I am taking advantage of your friends."
Charles bowed his head politely and smiled humbly: "Even more how this is also count's order to help you find the real murderer-as the Steward of the Scarlet Castle, how can you not even handle such a small thing?"
The smile is really easy to remind of a certain teenager...shook the head, Loren squatted down and looked at the corpse of the president of the wizard association, which was placed on the ground.
Because they have been dead for a long time...Although some antiseptic medicines and spices were applied, the strong smell of corpses still permeated the whole room, causing the two of them to frown slightly.
Loren eyebrows raised, but not because of the smell, but because of the corpse in front of you, and what Charles just said-the deceased’s neck had a very obvious crack, and the hands and torso were obviously affected. Has been severely hit.
These all show that he had indeed resisted so fiercely before he died, that the monster who flew into a rage out of humiliation broke his sword and wand wand hands, and also took him He fell to the ground, broke his ribs, and completely ruined his feet in order to prevent him from escaping.
It's really...extremely tyrannical, and the inexplicable feeling made Loren vaguely think of an acquaintance of his own.
Vampire is a very rare monster. It is so rare that even a night watchman would want to capture it alive instead of killing it. Ordinary persons will not have much experience in fighting this kind of monster.
This Sir President can actually be aware of the sneak attack, and even resist... If it is true, either the president is indeed extraordinary; or vampire touched some hidden mechanism , Gave him time to react.
Although the soldiers in the Governor’s Mansion have almost cleaned the room thoroughly, the traces of void power are not so easy to eliminate... The strong residual reflection proves that there is indeed a very powerful monster in this room. inside.
"Apart from this Sir President, are there any other deceased?"
"There are two others, both apprentices of the president himself." Charles truthfully replied, with a slight expression on his face. A little bleak: "But they...not even the corpse anymore."
Are they tortured and killed...it's a "monster" style.
"How is it?" Charles asked very concerned.
"It’s a bit unexpected...but judging from the marks left by the wounds and fights, I’m afraid it’s true—even if it’s not a vampire, it should be some kind of extremely powerful monster with a certain degree of Wisdom."
Sighed, Loren who got up truthfully replied: "The Governor of Gaspar has raised a monster, and somehow makes it obey his orders... It sounds ridiculous, but it is The most likely answer right now."
"This, this kind of thing, is it really possible?!"
"Um...it's hard to say." Loren turned and looked. Towards this worried steward shrugged helplessly: "I once saw a wizard who knows how to drive ghoul, but ghoul who controls low-level scavengers and vampire who possesses wisdom... these are completely two concepts!"
"But you don’t have to worry too much...Even if it’s a vampire, attacking an unguarded wizard tower and a heavily guarded palace are two concepts. No matter how powerful the monster is, it’s impossible to break through the Knight and the fortress. Defense line, or appear in the hall of the palace without being discovered."
Of course, if it is as strong as a giant dragon, there is no need for a sneak attack... But look at Charles’ slightly relieved expression, Loren I think it's better not to say it.
"I have brought some traces of the investigation at the scene of the crime, as well as the exhibits." Charles, who returned to normal, said solemnly with his hands behind his back: "Do you need to check it too?"
"Well, of course!"
Just when the two were about to turn around and leave, a wizard apprentice gasping for breath suddenly ran over:
" Lord Loren, we found a witness-he, he said he had seen that vampire!"
