Chapter 388 The Catacombs of Advent
Hearing Colin's question, Commons's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat instantly drenched his back, but he didn't show it on the surface.
On the side, full of anger, O'Neill also stopped and turned around in doubt.
Martina...didn't die last night?
"Maybe I misremembered, maybe it was the night before. People's old memories are like this, and they are unreliable." Commons patted his head and said with a smile.
"It was in the early morning three days ago."
At this moment, Alcott wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly spoke in a voice mixed with blood foam.
Commance glanced at him, his eyes were slightly bright, but he quickly retracted them, and turned to look at Alcott with just the right doubts.
"I remember very clearly, it was around three o'clock in the morning three days ago, before dawn, she was struggling very hard..."
Boom!
Alcott's voice stopped abruptly, O'Neill gasped angrily, and blood dripped quietly from the clenched fist of his right hand.
"Bah!"
Alcott spat out a mouthful of blood, and didn't continue talking, but just stared at O'Neill in front of him with vicious eyes.
Bang-boom-boom!
The whites of O'Neill's eyes were gradually bleeding, his eyebrows were erected, his teeth were clenched, and he punched Alcott a few more times with his fist!
Colin frowned slightly, and he couldn't tell whether O'Neill was just angry or fell into an inexplicable bloodthirsty state.
After deliberating for a moment, he still said: "O'Neill, it's almost enough, let him have a little life."
It's certainly not pity for Alcott.
After all, if Alcott did what O'Neill said, then he is undoubtedly a scumbag. If he didn't meet him normally, Colin wouldn't meddle in his own business. After all, this world is different from his previous life.
But if he meets him, he doesn't mind supporting O'Neill, but Alcott has practiced the Giant Mountain Breathing Method after all, is a great knight, and is a good research material. As for the research materials, they still have to be cherished. If O'Neill was killed like this, it would still be a bit of a waste.
"It seems that it was indeed three days ago, I remember wrong." Commons said again.
"Really?" Colin narrowed his eyes and observed Commons carefully.
Intuition told him that Commons was lying, but logically Commons' explanation was not unreasonable.
And if Commons is actually lying...that's where things get interesting.
She is obviously just a maid, even if she is dead, what is she worth in this world?
Now, not only is Commons hiding...but Alcott even offered to help him lie.
Interesting...Colin watched Commons carefully.
The smile on Commons' face changed slightly, he paused and then emphasized:
"It was just an ordinary maid. I really didn't pay much attention to it, but since Alcott said that she died in the early morning three days ago, it should indeed have died in the early morning three days ago. I remembered wrongly."
Then he turned his head again and shouted at O'Neill: "Martina is dead, O'Neill. If you are angry, I can make Alcott return the spear to you.
After all... Even if you kill Alcott, Martina will not be resurrected. "
Hearing Commons' words, the anger in O'Neill's heart seemed to be poured with cold water, and he stopped waving his fists.
But the scorching smoke rising from the flames made him subconsciously angry:
"I'm not for the spear, I just can't understand Alcott's wanton killing of life! Martina is only thirteen years old, and she doesn't even know the taste of steak!"
O'Neill stared at Commons, panting angrily.
It can be seen that he should know Martina, or at least have some contacts.
"I know your pain, child." Commons sighed with regret.
"Where's her body?" At this moment, Colin suddenly asked again.
Commance's expression did not show a trace of sluggishness, showing appropriate doubts:
"Where did Martina's body go? I'm afraid we need to find the servant who handled him before we can find out, but generally speaking, it was transported to a mass grave outside the city."
At the same time, in the shoes that no one can see, he quietly exerted force with his toes, activating the dark hand that had been left long ago.
The last trace of luck in Commons' heart has disappeared with Colin's questioning.
He couldn't explain where Martina's body had gone—as long as Colin kept asking, he would find out.
Commance didn't think he could weave a lie that Colin couldn't see through, he had to prepare for the worst.
"What are you hiding, Commons?" Colin's expression gradually became cold.
Commance's acting skills are very good, both breathing and heartbeat are well controlled, but he is just a mortal after all, as time goes by, some slight changes in his body, such as the smell of cold sweat, have been noticed by him. .
The morning sun was just right, casting clear shadows at Colin's feet.
I don't know if it's an illusion. It seems that there are a few undetectable blue thoughts moving away from above, and they will turn the entire Wood family into a cage.
"Hiding... I didn't hide anything. I don't seem to understand what the adults said." Commons continued to show a blank look.
Anyway, this will at least prolong it a little longer.
Shua!
Teng!
The blue ice element and the orange fire element suddenly appeared.
The ice element breathed out slightly, and a circle of ice fences that were blowing cold suddenly appeared, immediately surrounding the Wood family in the square.
O'Neill was pushed back a few steps by the ice fence, his face was stunned, he didn't know how things suddenly became like this.
Colin did not explain, and Commons' concealment gave him some bad associations.
Just in case, it is better to start first and control everyone present.
It happened that when O'Neill came back today, Commons was calling the family members for a morning meeting here.
Looking around, there are about a hundred people. It can be said that basically most of the Wood family members are here, which is a good opportunity to control.
When Commons saw this scene, his complexion finally changed.
He originally thought that he could continue to procrastinate for a while, until he really couldn't explain it any further.
But he didn't expect that Colin would be so decisive that he would turn his face when he said he would turn his back!
"Lord Colin... what are you doing, why are you imprisoning us?" The old fox was still struggling and asked in doubt.
"Before answering your question, can you answer me what happened to Martina's death?" Colin asked with a frown.
"Martina... It's a very simple matter. It's just an inconspicuous maid who died. If my lord wants to find her body, I can ask the servant who was in charge of handling the body at that time..."
Colin just shook his head slightly, and cast the improved crimson mark technique on everyone in the Wood family in front of him.
He now doesn't believe Commons' words at all.
It's a pity that because of the existence of mental fog, it is very difficult to directly read a person's memory, and he has not learned any witchcraft that can assist interrogation...
But it doesn't matter, the mere Wood family, as a second-level wizard, can't make any waves in front of him, so let's control it first.
The result of the crimson mark technique came, and there was no aura of gods on the people of the Wood family in front of them.
While Colin breathed a sigh of relief, he wondered if he had overreacted.
But soon, he shook his head.
In any case, since Commons chose to hide from him, there are nothing more than two possibilities.
The first is because this matter is a great secret of the Wood family and cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
The second is because this matter conflicts with the interests of the wizard himself, and being known by him will bring trouble to the Wood family.
As there was a conflict with the wizard's interests, Colin naturally thought of the gods immediately.
But now that there is no abnormality in the inspection, the result becomes confusing again.
"Commance, let me ask you one last time, what happened to Martina's death?"
Common paused, and said aggrievedly while still maintaining that dazed look:
"My lord, I've already said it..."
Colin frowned slightly, and ordered to O'Neill on the side:
"O'Neill, take the fire element and gather all the members of the Wood family, and I will inform the Lord Into."
O'Neill hadn't reacted yet, and looked at Colin in a daze: "My lord, what's the matter?"
"O'Neill, you ruined this family!"
Communs on the side watched Colin make a gesture to inform the Lord Into, but couldn't bear the pressure anymore, suddenly turned his head, stared at O'Neill with a ferocious expression and yelled.
Knowing that there would be a catastrophe, he would never agree to Mika bringing O'Neill back to the family!
There is also the giant mountain breathing method, which should not have been given to Colin in the first place!
"I..." O'Neill was taken aback.
"The wizard in front of me is insatiable. He not only wants our giant mountain breathing method, but also wants to enslave our entire family..."
Shua!
A ray of witchcraft flashed, and Commons' voice stopped abruptly.
Colin frowned. This old guy, among other things, has a knack for turning black and white.
Commance's reaction further confirmed his guess.
But looking at O'Neill with a complicated expression in front of him, he had a headache and asked, "You don't really believe what the old man said?"
To Colin's surprise, O'Neill shook his head.
"I believe there must be a reason why adults do this."
Colin nodded slightly, but he did not misread the knight in front of him.
"Commance has been lying, and so is Alcott. Although they don't know why, they are hiding Martina's death."
O'Neill was taken aback for a moment, and hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Don't be too happy." Colin shook his head, cruelly extinguishing the hope of the boy in front of him: "Martina's chances of surviving are not high. Otherwise, there is no need for Commons to say this.
It's just my guess, Martina shouldn't die as you imagined. "
Commance and Alcott are obviously concealing how Martina died, which obviously represents the cause of Martina's death, and it is not that simple.
O'Neill nodded, he understood Colin's analysis.
Elder Commons and Alcott are obviously hiding something...something he doesn't know.
O'Neill suddenly felt a little lonely.
Obviously, he has become a great knight and has stood at the pinnacle of the family's combat power... But it seems that the family still doesn't regard him as a real clansman.
‘If Elder Commons was willing to tell himself this matter, perhaps today, it would not be this far. '
In the ice fence, Commons kept opening and closing his mouth, but no sound came out, but looking at O'Neill, he didn't regret it, but was full of hatred.
‘It’s all the bastard’s fault! '
Tried for a while, but it didn't work. Commons realized that it was the witchcraft effect of the wizard in front of him.
He was terrified and angry.
Commance didn't know how Colin knew that Martina didn't die last night, but the moment he realized it, he decisively changed his rhetoric, and Alcott cleverly cooperated...
It stands to reason that even if it cannot be called seamless, it can still be regarded as full of confusion.
‘Wizards… are too powerful. ’ Commons looked gloomy, he couldn’t think of the answer to why Colin could detect it, and he didn’t have the heart to think about the answer.
He silently winked at several big knights around him.
Everything that can be done has been done, and the time of delay is almost over, and it is time to move on to the next step.
No one knows what kind of power the wizard in front of him will show in the next interrogation.
He wasn't sure about keeping the secret under interrogation by a wizard...
Commance raised his chin slightly and roared silently in his heart, ‘Great ancestor Alec, although I am dead today! But the Wood family will continue to exist under your leadership, and it will never end! '
Shua!
Then Commons suddenly took out a knife from his body and was about to stab him in the eye socket! He, who was originally old and feeble, exploded at an extraordinary speed at this moment.
The one who started suicide with him was the great knight next to him.
Their movements were neat and fast as if they had been rehearsed.
No, this resolute and unhesitating look is more like...bewitched by some kind?
Caught off guard, Colin was also slightly startled.
But fortunately, he hasn't left yet, and his reaction can be regarded as quick!
The tidal wave of mental power spread, and Commons and the others were immediately wrapped in it and fell into a rigid state.
Commance looked desperate. He knew the power of wizards, but the power Colin displayed at this moment still deeply shocked him.
But it’s okay, counting the time, Dennis should have brought his people out of the family, and the Wood family still has hope!
One day, the family will avenge me!
Commance closed his eyes calmly and relaxed his body.
However, what he didn't see was that Colin, who was not far away, felt the message from the Frost Shadow, but raised his eyebrows slightly.
"No need to intercept, keep tracking." He gave an order to the Frost Shadow on the edge of the Wood family.
After controlling the ice element to strengthen the cage, Colin changed his original plan and planned to go to see where the escaped Wood family team would go.
But before leaving, looking at O'Neill on the side, his heart moved, and he also took the latter with him.
"Master Colin, where are we going?" O'Neill turned his head and asked in doubt.
"Aren't you curious about what the Wood family is hiding from you?" Colin said while perceiving the direction of the Frost Shadow, "Maybe we will know the secret after a little more time."
Commance in the frost cage watched the two of Colin soaring into the sky, his complexion changed suddenly, and he murmured in disbelief:
"That's not the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, why did you go there..."
Looking at the direction of the two of Colin, his complexion gradually turned pale.
‘It’s impossible... how would he know? ! '
boom!
Bang bang bang!
Commance and those big knights suddenly hit the hard ice fence like crazy, with such force that their heads were bleeding instantly.
The head of the ice elemental on the side was tilted.
Ka Ka Ka.
The cold air spread out, and ice crystals climbed up the calves of Commons and others, locking them in place.
"what!"
Commance struggled for a while, but after realizing it was futile, his complexion suddenly turned gray, his lips moved uncontrollably, and tears flowed down his old cheeks:
"The great ancestor of Alec, it was the unfilial sons and grandsons who summoned such a disaster..."
…
When the turbulent wind approached, it was like hitting thick glass and was completely blocked. Although this was not the first time he had experienced it, O'Neill was still amazed at the wizard's mighty power.
If it is a knight, I am afraid that no matter how much you practice, you will not be able to fly freely in the sky.
Looking at the passing street below, O'Neill gradually frowned... This is, flying towards the south of the city?
Not long after, a piece of golden Mai Hai appeared in front of him, which proved the conjecture in his heart.
But Colin did not stop moving forward, but continued to move forward.
Gradually, the golden Mai Hai in O'Neill's vision slowly disappeared, replaced by a gray and black strange area.
Circled a few times in the sky, and finally, under O'Neill's surprised eyes, the two of them landed in front of the entrance of an inconspicuous crypt.
