Chapter 149: Summoning a Demon

Not long after Xia Duo left, many people arrived outside Feierbosi Villa, clamoring noisily; it turned out the Adventurers had learned of the task change from the Adventurers Guild.

They all wanted to come over and hustle for some Gold Coins. The previous task was to investigate the cause of death, but it had long been considered a natural death; many Adventurers had taken the task before, but they couldn't find the cause of death and couldn't get even half a Gold Coin.

But now, Lady Patti no longer required a definitive result; one only needed to investigate diligently to receive Gold Coins. Who would miss out on such a good thing!

As for whether they were diligent, wasn't that entirely up to what they said with their own mouths!

The Adventurers came quickly and dispersed just as quickly. After checking the letter from Feierbosi in the hidden compartment and receiving confirmation from Lady Patti, they turned and left.

Some only wanted to hustle, but others saw an opportunity to make a big profit, or even to get close to Lady Patti, this new widow.

The Mages of the Mage Tower were naturally not truly that aloof; once the task information at the Mage Tower changed, some Mages received the news and rushed over impatiently.

The news of Feierbosi's death was no secret at the Mage Tower; Mages and people from the Temple had checked it before, and they were aware of it.

They hadn't expected that those people couldn't even find the cause of death for an ordinary person!

"What idiots!"

Arriving at the entrance of Feierbosi Villa, Mage Pulaisite cursed in a low voice once again. After being led inside by a servant, Pulaisite first demanded to examine the corpse again.

Lady Patti tactfully refused this request and immediately offered a bag of Gold Coins; she could tell that this Mage was completely different from the previous Xia Duo and Kaili.

It was not just the difference in age, but the dignity was also much heavier.

"My Lord, this is a letter written by Feierbosi; it may be related to the murderer!"

Lady Patti handed over the letter and said, "I have already sent a Sending to the Lord, but I haven't received a reply, so I will trouble you for help first."

Pulaisite was dismissive in his heart, but he did not demand to examine Feierbosi's corpse again. He took the letter and frowned after just one glance; the key information on this letter had been painted over, and he could only make a rough guess.

In front of Lady Patti, Pulaisite cast a spell to send a message to another Mage: "Huosite, how much longer? There is a letter here that needs you to handle; come quickly!"

While waiting for his companion to arrive, Pulaisite carefully examined the letter again. After confirming it was just an ordinary letter, he waited while asking Lady Patti about some details.

During this time, two more Mages arrived. They intended to leave the moment they saw Pulaisite, but were kept behind by Lady Patti with a money bag.

Regarding this, Mage Pulaisite had no objections, but those two Mages passed the news of Mage Pulaisite's presence here back to the Mage Tower.

Even if it was just to reduce one person to share the money, it was worth it!

Soon, Mage Huosite was welcomed in by the servant waiting at the door. As soon as he entered, he asked: "Pulaisite, what clues are there?"

"Just a letter, take a look."

Saying this, Mage Pulaisite handed the letter over.

This letter consisted of only one sheet of paper, and Mage Huosite finished reading it quickly: "Interesting, when did this bunch of people appear in the Territory! Let me see what you are really trying to do!"

Mage Huosite held the letter in his left hand, while a finger on his right hand gently rubbed the places where the text on the letter had been painted over, while he muttered something to himself.

The few people nearby watched Mage Huosite's actions expectantly, especially Lady Patti, who didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing she would disturb this Mage's Spellcasting.

This was the key clue to finding the murderer who killed Feierbosi!

"Done!" Mage Huosite said suddenly; at the same time, the letter in Mage Huosite's hand suddenly erupted with a burst of Magic radiance.

Before anyone else could move, Lady Patti, unable to wait any longer and regardless of whether she was offending a Mage, immediately rushed up, her eyes staring fixedly at the letter.

In fact, during the process of Spellcasting, Mage Huosite had already understood the full content of the letter. Seeing Lady Patti so nervous, he was not angry, but instead handed the letter directly to her.

Then he said to Pulaisite: "This time, a mysterious group may have really come to the Territory."

"Really? What does the letter say?" Pulaisite asked.

"The letter says that this group controlling Feierbosi plans to kill six people of different identities, and then use this to summon a demon in the Territory."

Speaking of this, Mage Huosite suddenly laughed: "Although the Temple failed to check the specific cause of death of the corpse, they certainly wouldn't fail to see if the corpse was related to summoning a demon; this is clearly the other party misleading us!"

"Then what is their true purpose?"

"Not clear, but I think it certainly isn't anything good!"

At this time, Lady Patti had also finished reading the letter. Although she firmly believed in the authenticity of the letter, she did not want Feierbosi to become a medium for summoning a demon.

She didn't know what a demon was, but from Mage Huosite's words, she knew this must be a very terrifying thing!

Lady Patti clutched the letter paper at a loss, her eyes looking somewhat dull as she looked at Mage Huosite: "My Lord, Feierbosi he—"

"The Temple has been here, I think it won't be too serious, but for the sake of insurance, I need to take Feierbosi back to the Mage Tower!"

"Ah—"

Lady Patti was stunned; the development of the situation had completely exceeded her control: "My Lord, must it be like this?"

"Yes." Mage Huosite's tone allowed no refusal, but he also left a little leeway: "You can also come to the Mage Tower to wait for the result."

In the previous Sending, Mage Pulaisite had mentioned to him that Lady Patti might know the Lord; bringing one person into the Mage Tower was no trouble.

"Thank you, My Lord, thank you, My Lord."

Huosite just nodded slightly, then turned to Pulaisite and said: "This matter is no longer Lady Patti's private affair. I will take her and Feierbosi's remains back to the Mage Tower first. You go find Saier Town Mayor and have him notify the Military Camp to send people to search for the other five potential corpses, as well as a type of Female Half-Body Small Wooden Carving."

"What's with the wooden carving?" Pulaisite asked.

Huosite curled his lips: "Who knows? The letter mentioned it's a type of Summoning Prop; regardless, let's find them first!"

After finishing, he asked Lady Patti about the whereabouts of the Small Wood Carving here.

"I put it away, I'll go get it right now!"

Lady Patti had originally thought the wooden carving was just an unimportant item; she didn't expect it to be some kind of Summoning Prop. She dared not hesitate and immediately ran to a room on the side.

The few servants in the living room also hurriedly followed.

After Lady Patti left, Pulaisite suddenly said: "What? Interested in this Lady Patti?"

The tone was full of teasing and banter; it seemed the two had a quite good relationship, but Huosite did not respond to his joke, instead saying seriously:

"Stop joking! There is very likely a Spellcaster behind this matter targeting the Tower of Time or the Savile Territory. You hurry and notify Saier Town Mayor; I will return once I get that wooden carving."

Just as he was speaking, Lady Patti had already walked out, holding the very Small Wood Carving that had been hidden in the secret compartment, and Mage Huosite also noticed its special nature at a glance.
