Things went smoothly. Another Saint-tier was killed by Li Huailin's plan. Bantura probably didn't understand what was going on until he died. But it didn't matter, because he was already dead.
At the end of the battle, Rumi Deos transformed into her human form and greeted the other three in a friendly manner. "Nice to meet you three. I am the Red Dragon Queen, Rumi Deos. Thank you for your help to the Dragon race."
"Hey, why did the Dragon race really appear? You didn't tell me about this at all," Sword Saint Dashe looked at Li Huailin and asked.
"Anyway, the corpse has to be handed over to the Dragon race to deal with, so I called her over." Li Huailin said. Of course, this wasn't difficult for Li Huailin. Ramidios and Dashe had Li Huailin's mark on them, so all he had to do was fly over and tell them what to do.
"First of all, I'm not helping the Dragon race." Sword Saint Dashe looked at Ramidios and said, "We just happen to have the same goal."
"Okay, okay … there's nothing to discuss. Let's talk about the current plan." Li Huailin clapped his hands to gather everyone. "First, we need to change the time of death. Bantura came out with us, and then suddenly died. No matter what, it will raise some suspicions. When the Saint-tier experts investigate this matter, there will inevitably be problems. So now we need to delay Bantura's time of death."
"Eh? How do we do that? " Sword Saint Dashe and the others already knew about this, but this was the first time Ramidios heard about it, so she asked curiously.
"So when Tyr goes back, continue to pretend that Bantura is still alive, mainly to let the soldiers at the door know that Bantura is still in the room. Of course, we will also insist that Bantura is still alive. With so many witnesses, he won't die." Li Huailin said. "Then tomorrow morning, Tyr, tell us that Sword Saint Bantura is missing. Of course, it's best to say it in front of others. Then, you can speculate that Bantura went to the Dragon Valley alone. After all, he said this himself. After that, it's time for you to bring Bantura's corpse to any of the nearby cities tomorrow morning. Just say that this guy broke into the Dragon Valley in the middle of the night and was killed by you guys. Then, say some provocative words or something like that. Understood? "
"So that's how it is. That way, no one will be able to see anything wrong with this." Cuoma nodded.
Tyr didn't know what to say. Now that he could see that the dragons were also under Li Huailin's control, this meant that Li Huailin's plan from the beginning to the end was to lure the sages to their deaths. This was even more terrifying than his previous deduction. Previously, he thought that the dragons were causing trouble, and Li Huailin took the opportunity to make a fuss. Now, it seemed like that wasn't the case at all … What was Li Huailin trying to do? If he killed all the sages, wouldn't that be … Tyr was scared by his own thoughts, but it didn't seem like a joke.
"Hey, Tyr! Tyr! " Just as Tyr was deep in thought, he suddenly heard someone calling him. Tyr froze for a moment, then turned around to see that it was Li Huailin calling him.
"Duke, what's the matter?" Now, Tyr called Li Huailin Duke. Although they were of the same rank, he really didn't dare to call him by his name.
"Don't you have medical skills? Please teach this stupid dragon how to deal with the corpses without anyone noticing, "Li Huailin said, pointing at Remdios.
"Sigh … I'm already trying my best," Remdios said unhappily.
"What's the use of trying your best? Anyone will be exposed anyway." Li Huailin said, "Alright, hurry up and deal with it. Once you're done, fly north, find a random city and raze it to the ground, then go back."
"Oh." Remy Dios nodded.
Under Tyr's professional guidance, Remdios quickly dealt with the corpses and flew north. On the other hand, Li Huailin and the others quickly returned to Marcona City. They also told the guards at the gate that they didn't catch up with the Banturan. Of course, they also confirmed that the dragon had turned north, so they didn't encounter it. There was no problem at all.
During this time, Tyr also cooperated a little in front of a few guards, such as helping his master to ask the soldiers for something. Anyway, it looked like the Banturan was still alive. Tyr was also a smart person, so his performance was not pretentious. For such a good teammate, Li Huailin felt that he didn't have to worry too much. Compared to the Dragons, it was really …
Everything seemed to be going in the direction that Li Huailin had planned. Of course, Li Huailin stayed a little longer. This was mainly because of Tyr. Although the other party was very cooperative, he was still a Demons after all. Li Huailin couldn't determine his loyalty based on his favorability. In the current situation, the main trouble was still on him. If the other party made any strange moves, he still needed to be careful. He didn't expect Dasher and the others to be able to respond correctly when an accident happened.
Then, as expected, an accident happened. However, it wasn't an accident on Tyr's side as Li Huailin had imagined. Instead, it wasn't an accident in the plan at all.
At night, two visitors came to the residence of Dasher and the others in Marcona City. Dasher and the others did not expect their arrival.
The visitors were an old man and a young man. The old one looked to be around 80 years old. His face was full of white beard, and he looked a little sloppy. From his red eyes, one could tell that he was a Demons. From his attire, one could roughly tell that he was a Mage. Li Huailin also looked at his name. It showed that he was Del Sarik Forsus.
The young one was really young. He looked to be in his early thirties. He was a generation younger than Dashe and the others. He was a human male. He had a sturdy body and was wearing steel plate armor. Anyone could tell that he was a Warrior from his attire. His attire was too exaggerated. They were all Warriors, but Dasher, Megrim, and Tyr didn't have such exaggerated equipment. Dasher and Megrim were probably very confident in themselves. They were only wearing ordinary equipment, the kind that had no defense at all. Tyr, on the other hand, was only wearing some armor. It was rare to see a guy covered in plate armor from head to toe. Of course, Li Huailin also paid attention to the other party's name. Miran Merglings.
"Hmm? This name sounds a little familiar. " For some reason, when Li Huailin saw the other party's name, he suddenly felt a little familiar. He should have heard this name somewhere recently. Of course, Li Huailin had heard too many names. It was really impossible to remember all of them.
"Lord Forsythe, why are you here?" Seeing this old man appear, Sword Saint Dashe actually went forward and saluted him. Li Huailin was startled. Although it was just a small greeting, Dashe was a Sword Saint. Generally speaking, it was impossible for him to salute others. Even an Emperor wouldn't receive such treatment. Without saying anything, Li Huailin watched the situation quietly.
"Didn't I just receive your summons?" The man named Forsythe smiled and said, "Then I happened to have something to do, so I came over."
"I didn't expect to alarm Lord Forsythe," Megrim said cautiously. Megrim said cautiously. Then, she looked at Melgines and asked, "This is …"
The three of them had never seen Merglings before. At first, they thought that he was Forsythe's disciple. However, looking at his attire, he seemed to be a Warrior. This was unlikely, so this guy …
"Oh, I forgot to mention. This is the other thing I wanted to talk about," Forsythe said. "This is Miran Melgreens. He's a newcomer who's preparing to join our Alliance."
"Greetings, seniors." Melglings also greeted him casually. Although his tone was not bad, there was no sign of respect in his expression at all.
"Of course, I've already verified his strength. He has indeed reached the standard of a Saint-tier. Of course, what comes next is a service mission. It just so happens that I received your summons here, so I brought him here. This will count as a service mission. If he succeeds, he will join our Alliance."
"I see." The three of them nodded.
Although the Saint-tier Alliance was a relatively loose Alliance, there were still some rules. For example, joining the Alliance was not completely free. In fact, in addition to strength requirements, there was another problem. One had to complete a service mission for the Alliance. Although this was considered a part of the assessment, it was basically something to give the Alliance some benefits.
"Alright, that's all for the introduction. Let's talk about the current situation. How is it? I have already seen Lumlet's corpse. It seems that it was indeed done by a dragon. How's the progress of your investigation? " Forsythe asked solemnly. From his tone, he seemed to have become a leader.
"The current situation of the investigation …" Sword Sage Dashe seemed to be slightly stressed. Just as he was about to organize his words, Merglings suddenly said, "Lord Forsythe, didn't you say that there are four seniors? Why do I only see three … "
"Huh?" Forsythe was slightly stunned. He looked around and asked, "Yes, where's Bantura?"
"Yes, I haven't seen Lord Bantura in a while," Li Huailin suddenly said. "Why don't you ask his disciple, Tyr?"
Li Huailin wanted Dashe to shut up so that he wouldn't talk nonsense and let the smarter Tyr deal with it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Merglings suddenly said, "Eh, your voice is so familiar. Who are you?"
