Chapter 229 Tongyanwuji

Tang En, Fiona and Ilia appeared directly in the woods.

As soon as Tang En appeared, he noticed the astonishing arcane energy floating in the air, and his heart sank. This level of arcane energy could not be condensed by first- and second-level spells.

"What magic have you practiced?"

Ilia felt a little guilty, but thinking of the agreement she made with the elder sister, she whispered: "It's the magic missile that elder brother taught me before..."

Magic missiles...

Tang En's mouth twitched. If magic missiles could condense such rich arcane energy, wouldn't the arcane star ring turn into a nuclear bomb?

But when I think about the various signs that Ilia had learned when she was learning magic, these are not important anymore. What is important is the identity of the deceased.

Tang En had already noticed the fragmented body under the tree that was bombarded by arcane energy. Blood and pieces of meat were sprayed all over the floor. This mosaic scene even affected your appetite. It was a blessing that Ilia was not frightened on the spot.

Fiona took a breath of air: "It's all like this!? It's almost the same as the finger of death you used back then!"

"With Ilia's magical talent, this situation is normal."

Tang En's mood was relatively stable. After all, his mental quality had already been tested when he first traveled through time.

Now Fiona, who had never seen Illya practice magic before, did not dare to underestimate Illya anymore.

Previously, Fiona thought that she was the most gifted person in Ellington with magic besides Twain, and she was proud of herself for a while. However, she didn't expect that Illya would actually hide it.

"But now that it's like this, how can you still investigate the identity of the deceased?"

"Don't worry, there is a way."

Tang En waved his hand gently, and the scattered pieces of meat and cloth flew under the control of magic power, reassembling the approximate body shape of the deceased.

Tang En glanced at him: "He is about 1.75 meters tall, male, and has a well-proportioned body shape. Therefore, it can be inferred that he lived a relatively normal life for a long time before his death, at least he was able to eat well - he was not a resident of Ellington. "

"The residents of Ellington now have enough to eat."

"But changes in body shape take a long time. If you look at most people in Ellington now, you can still see the thin foundation they used to have... The most important thing is-"

Tang En stepped forward and twisted a piece of cloth, rubbed it, handed it to Fiona, and whispered: "This kind of cloth is not produced in Ellington, or even in the towns near Ellington."

"In other words, the deceased was an outsider?"

"The outsiders should all be registered. If you investigate who is missing, you can find out his identity."

"What if you don't register?"

"That's better," Tang En spread his hands, "He didn't register and was still running around. It proves that he has something evil in his heart. If he dies, he doesn't care about that. It saves us trouble."

Fiona thought about it and nodded: "I understand."

"etc!"

Tang En suddenly frowned and dug out a few arrowheads from the soil. After thinking for a moment, he opened the magic induction net and quickly found something else around him.

There were thirty arrowheads, a dagger, and several cracked bottles.

Fiona was surprised: "Arrows and daggers?"

The arrow body had been blasted into pieces by arcane energy, but the remaining arrows and daggers also revealed a lot of information.

"Some of the arrows are enchanted with Demon Breakers, and some are explosive arrows..."

Tang En touched the dagger, narrowed his eyes and said: "This dagger is an excellent magic weapon. It is not only enchanted with the magic-breaking effect, but also quenched the poison... There are poisonous liquids and healing potions remaining in the cracked bottle. .”

"You mean - this person is an assassin!? His target... Ilia!?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it was a coincidence that I met Illya practicing spells and was accidentally injured."

Tang En thoughtfully said: "But this possibility cannot be ruled out... Go and investigate the outsiders registered in the past few days, and check them one by one to see who is missing."

"Understood!"

"Also," Tang En added: "If we can find out who it is, we can also investigate the group of people who came with him to see who wears the same cloth as this...be careful not to act rashly."

"I see!"

"You should hold this dagger for self-defense. It's a pretty good magic weapon."

Fiona was not polite to Tang En, and left in a hurry after taking the dagger, with a cautious look on her face.

The presence of such an unidentified person in Ellington is not good news.

After Fiona left, Tang En squatted down, looked into Ilia's eyes and said, "Ilia, remember what I told you before, you can't control your power now, so don't practice when I'm not around. Magic, remember?”

Ilia nodded, pursed her lips and looked very aggrieved and wanted to cry.

So Tang En had a headache. Looking at such cute Ilia, he really couldn't bear to blame her.

However, there is one very important thing to educate your children, that is, you must not condone it, otherwise the naughty child will cause you big trouble that cannot be solved sooner or later.

Tang En used his special move - kill by touching the head.

"Ilia, what happened today should have made you understand, right? Magic, if used correctly, can bring us a convenient life, but if used incorrectly, it is a very cruel weapon that can take away people's lives. , today it is him, tomorrow it will probably be your favorite sister Elsa, mother Clara, or even me——"

"No! I don't want it!"

Ilia hugged Tang En hard: "Brother, I don't want to learn magic anymore! I don't want to hurt you!"

When encountering danger, the first thing you do is not think of facing the problem, but choose to escape. Isn’t this the case for all children?

Seeing Ilia like this, Tang En was relieved.

If Ilia directly stated that she would be careful about using magic in the future, Tang En would be afraid.

"Eliya, escaping is never the answer to a problem."

Tang En patted her back and whispered softly: "Look at big brother, after mastering the power of magic, it will become my friend, help me do many things, and protect the people around me. without hurting them."

"You have unparalleled talent, Ilia. You are a natural magician. Avoiding it will only make it more and more difficult for you to master this power. You need to face it, learn it, and master it."

Tang En looked into her eyes: "Are you afraid that your power will hurt the people you care about? Then master it and let it serve you. This is what you should do in the future."

Illya was uneasy: "I, can I really do it?"

"Yes, of course you can."

"I can do it. If big brother says I can, I will definitely do it!"

Tang En's encouragement gave Elijah endless courage. The light appeared in her eyes again, and her whole person regained her vitality.

"Well, this is the Ilia I like."

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief.

Ilia said happily: "Big brother, does he like Ilia?"

"Of course I do."

"Then when Ilia grows up, will it be okay to be my elder brother's bride?"

"——"

It's obviously a kid's joke, why do I feel so excited, you bastard!

I'm really not a lolita person!

Dear Egwin, where are you? ?

If you don't show up, I'll turn into a pervert!

Tang En showed an awkward smile: "Let's wait until you grow up. Honey, go home now and take a nap. When you get up, nothing will happen."

"Well! Goodbye, big brother!"

After all, Ilia was still a child, so she didn't think much, waved her hand at Tang En, turned around and skipped home.

Passing by the pieced-together corpse, Ilia glanced curiously, a trace of disdain flashed deep in her deep eyes—even she herself had not noticed it.

After Ilia left, Tang En pondered for a moment, but instead of burning the body to eliminate traces, he collected the body.

Not long after Tang En returned to the study, Fiona hurried back.

"Found out."

“Amazingly efficient!”

Tang En whistled: "Then what was the name of the deceased?"

"Durrandon."

"What?"

Tang En was stunned: "Are you kidding me?"

"It's just the same name," Fiona glared at Tang En dissatisfied, "Brian registered it, and Nokia was there at the time. They were screening the labor force. They made a joke when they heard the name. I was quite impressed. "

"Then what?"

"A total of fourteen people arrived in the same carriage. The carriage started from Bein. The driver was old Hank, an acquaintance who often traveled between Ellington and Bein."

After a pause, Fiona continued: "In the carriage, there were two civilian couples, two children, two wanderers from Bein City, and six civilians who got on the carriage one after another - according to the two couples, the six His accent is obviously not from Bein, it has a very obvious nasal sound, more like the accent from Arinks."

"According to the testimony of the wanderer, the six people all liked silence. They didn't speak much for several days on the carriage. Although they didn't seem to know each other, they occasionally made eye contact. This news is trustworthy - the wanderer said Other people’s eyes are very sensitive.”

"Then based on this testimony, I secretly investigated the six people and found that one of them was missing, the man named Durandon. Of course, this was probably a fake name."

"From Alyinx? Huh, things are starting to get interesting."

Tang En couldn't help but laugh.

Fiona rolled her eyes: "Although the other five people were not missing, when I went to look for them, they did not eat in the restaurant, but wandered around the town. However, their answers were impeccable. They were all Life forces you to come to Ellington to make a living.”

"Is it?"

"Well, the other thing is that the fabrics of the clothes of these five people are consistent with the fragments you gave me. It is obvious that the six of them are in a group, and the purpose of coming to Ellington is not simple."

"do you know."

Tang En's eyes were full of amusement: "Their behavior reminded me of the word 'stepping on the spot'."
