The Earl Bute’s villa.

Inside the study where the Bute suddenly died.

There was a man standing in front of the Earl’s desk wearing a black cloak, blonde hair, and gold-rimmed glasses, and he was playing with his ring in his little finger as he stood there.

“Are you sure the murderer is that investigator?” His voice was indifference with no ups and down.

In the corner of the study, the male secretary who witnessed everything was bundled up in the corner while covering his ears, he was drenched in sweat and was trembling uncontrollably.

Some times passed but no words came out of his mouth despite opening and closing the lips, finally he uttered a word.

“I… I… I …… I don’t know, but apart from her no one has a deadly grudge against the Earl right now!”

Despite his response, the word he spoke was slurred with no clarity making the one baffled. 

But Ennius did not seem to care about this, with a calm smile he took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them clean.

“Never mind, let me see for myself.”

Putting on his glasses back, he took out a piece of paper from the desk and wrote some incantations on it, then he folded the piece of paper, and folded it again, and folded it again.

Then Ennius shook his hand a little, suddenly the folded piece of paper in his hand glowed with red light, following that the paper took shape and became a paper man, and jumped to the table not far away.

Ennius just asked to the shining red paper man.

“Who is most likely the murderer?”

The male secretary on the corner suddenly froze, looking blankly at the front and spoke mechanically, “Su Ling!”

Ennius nodded in response and continued: “Tell me everything that happened recently, as well as the details before Earl Bute’s death.”

The male secretary, as if put on the play button started to recount of how the Bute plundered the lives of the marginalized and recovered his health, also in the process accidentally provoke the senior investigator of the Anti-Magic Bureau. And how he planned to manipulate the investigator, he directly dictated each and every words of Bute without concealing it in slightest.

Ennius was remained expressionless through the whole process, and finally sneered.

“This investigator dared to kill the Bute family’s matriarch. It’s obvious that she didn’t think that we, the Salian family, will pursue this matter.”

Ennius knew this matter had to be dealt with otherwise they would have no face. He knew that face had to be restored.

It didn’t matter whether Su Ling was an investigator or normal person, since she dared to touch a person backed by the Salian family, she has to face the consequences.

The consequence she has to pay would be a life.

As for the Anti-Magic Bureau, which has always emphasized stability and compromise, won’t intervene disproportionately at this level of grudge fighting, even if it did, Ennius would not care.

To put it another way, the Salian family was not from Nolan at all.

They were meticulous, detail-oriented and beer-loving Mutton people, with only a few livelihoods in Beland, so they don’t have to worry about completely angering the Nolan Anti-Magic Bureau and being uprooted.

“But before that, there’s one more thing I have to do.”

Ennius mission to coming to Nolan was not only to protect the Earl of Bute of the branch family, but to investigate a mysterious figure who suddenly appeared.

It was a task entrusted to him by the partiach himself, though it sounds gravely but it wasn’t to fight the other side.

Just collecting a little investigation.

Ennius already knew where the cafe was located and felt that he was one step closer to the position of patriarch.

—

Early in the morning, a burst of prayers awakened Shen Yi.

“Who’s praying again?”

Shen Yi groggily muttered and remained his eyes closed, with a sigh he half opened his eyes and saw at the image that was gradually forming in mid-air not far away.

Arghh— 

This Byron guy.

It’s only four o’clock, and I’ve already written down this account!

The Byron in the image was oblivious to Shen Yi grievence of disturbing his sleep, narrating the new found information that he had gotten.

“The Salian family has come to Beland, and they may test your Divine Envoy.”

“This is an ancient and secretive family. Their patriarch is a very powerful wizard at the top level.”

“Of course I know he was nowhere near to put an enemy in front of your great Envoy, but I think it is necessary to remind you that it will still be very troublesome for the envoy to step into the trap of a disaster-level powerhouse.”

The Salian family?

Is their patriarch disaster-grade, the top wizard as powerful as Byron?

Shen Yi’s eyes opened fully at some point, he felt a bit terrified.

This level of wizard was Nolan’s top strength, especially when the opponent was well prepared.

The wizard’s strength was very well prepared in advance, and disaster-level wizards were likely to endanger the safety of an entire city when they were well laid out.

“The secret family, the wizard family, the patriarch is probably stronger than Bia Lei, why are you testing me?”

When Shen Yi was thinking like this, the answer already appeared on the prayer screen.

“The patriarch of this family is also a member of the Dust of Lightlessness, these people seem to be very interested in Lord God’s Envoy, as well as the frequent incidents of God’s Descent in Beland.”

Shen Yi was deep in thought on the bed and already understood.

To put it simply, the most high-end – powerful secret wizard organization on the second continent, whose entry threshold was disaster-level lightless dust, was very interested in me!
