"This is the mansion of an official from the Ministry of War. It is said that more than 120 people in the mansion are all dead. Only the official who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison was left. After hearing about the incident last night, he also committed suicide by hitting his head against the wall." Meg and the others were on a roof, looking at the scorched courtyard not far away.
"There is demonic energy there. A very dense demonic energy." Irina narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a serious expression.
"You can see demonic energy too?" Melante looked at Irina in surprise.
"Do you think this is a unique ability of the Ghost Clan?" Irina curled her lips.
"It's just that there are very few people who have this ability." Melander shook his head and turned his gaze back to the mansion that had been burned to the ground, his expression solemn as he said, "I can be sure that this massacre and the massacre in the Twilight Forest were committed by the same person. The Demon Qi is of the same origin. However, he must have been in a hurry to commit the crime. He only absorbed part of the resentment and souls. If we can enter the ruins, we should be able to get more information from the ghosts. "
"There are guards at the scene. Look, there are two over there. There is another one hiding on the roof. The surrounding area is surrounded by official mansions. After such an incident, the patrols have been strengthened. There are more than ten patrol teams patrolling. Any business will attract them. If you are confident, you can go down and take a look." Meg said calmly.
"However, one seventh-level and two sixth-level is still easy to deal with." Melante grinned. He took a step forward and disappeared into the night like a ghost.
After a while, the three knights on the roof and at the door in the distance fell into a daze. A hazy concealment array rose in the middle of the ruins, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
"Concealment and deceit are one of the innate abilities of the Ghost Clan." Noah smiled and explained with a little pride.
"That's it?" Irina smiled.
"This is already very powerful." Noah nodded.
"Little friend, you should see more of the world." Irina shook her head and did not say anything else.
If it were not for the fact that he could not defeat them, Noah would have said something else.
Not long after, the concealment array in the ruins disappeared. Melante returned to Meg and the others.
The three knights also regained consciousness. They looked around in confusion as if they didn't realize what had happened to them.
"How is it?" Meg looked at Merante and asked.
Melander's expression was solemn as he said, "It is indeed the same black-robed man as the one in the Twilight Forest. I can't see his face clearly, but whether it is his figure or his attacking habits, they are all the same. Moreover, he faked the scene in an attempt to frame the Beastmen."
Meg nodded slightly. The situation was exactly as he had expected. "In that case, let's start looking for him. Perhaps he's still in Rodu."
"Alright." Melante took out the tortoiseshell stone again, but this time it was slightly different. He injected a wisp of remnant soul into the tortoiseshell stone.
"This is a remnant soul of one of the victims. It's filled with resentment. This way, we can trace it back and lock onto this black-clothed man within the detection range," Melante explained.
"This method is really advanced." Meg couldn't help but praise.
As the remnant soul was injected into the tortoiseshell stone, a twisted ghostly face appeared on the tortoiseshell stone. At the same time, a blood-red spot of light appeared and started to scurry around on the tortoiseshell stone.
The golden spot of light that was originally shining faintly also started to flicker.
Three minutes later, Melante raised his head and shook his head slightly as he said, "I'm afraid he's already been alerted and left Rodu."
"Is there a way to conceal the devilish aura and then hide?" Meg asked with furrowed brows.
"Theoretically speaking, such a situation shouldn't occur. The tortoiseshell stone is a divine item. It has a very sensitive ability to detect devilish aura. Furthermore, with the enhancement of this resentment, unless he's powerful enough to ensure that even a wisp of devilish aura leaks out, he will definitely be detected by the tortoiseshell stone." Melante shook his head.
"If he starts to change his location after each shot, then it will be a little troublesome." Meg's brows were tightly furrowed. He had thought that he would have a chance to find Josh once he reached Rodu, but this guy had become even more cunning than before.
"The closer we get to him, the more effective the tortoiseshell stone's detection ability will be. Let's take a look around Rodu and see if we can discover anything," Melante said.
"Alright, be careful. If you encounter any trouble, you can come find me at the Saipan Tavern." Meg nodded. Splitting up would reduce the number of targets.
After watching Melante and Noah disappear into the distance, Irina turned to Meg with furrowed brows, and asked, "Why do you think Josh is doing this?"
"He's obviously lusting after my wife." Meg thought to himself as he looked at Irina, who was still as beautiful and elegant as ever, even though she had disguised herself as a human. However, he said, "He's probably become too full of himself. He wants to become the king and control everything."
"He's been hiding for so many years. Even though he's the second prince, he's already a strong contender for the throne. Even Sean doesn't have absolute confidence in being able to defeat him. Why would he suddenly do something like this at a time like this and completely eliminate himself? It's very puzzling. "
"Maybe my kill warning provoked him." Meg felt that this was the only reason.
"Then what do we do now?" Irina looked at Meg and asked.
Meg grinned, "Let's go home and sleep. We'll wait for news. Just don't alert him."
"Look, the tavern over there seems to be pretty good."
"I don't think that's a good idea … The two children are still at home …"
"They should be asleep by now. I've set up a defensive formation outside the tavern. No one can get in."
"Alright, let's eat and drink." Meg nodded.
Two hours later, the two of them returned to the tavern a little tipsy. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Amy, who had her hands on her hips, and Anne, who was lying on the table, looking a little sleepy.
They looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Father, Mother, did you go eat something delicious behind our backs again?!" Ai Mi said with some hidden bitterness.
"Ah … We actually just went for a walk … Burp …" Although Meg was trying very hard to control himself, he still couldn't help but burp.
"Yes, we had roast lamb leg. It was delicious," Irina said with a smile.
"Ah … You're too much. You didn't even bring us along to eat roast lamb leg. I'm going to cry …" Amy pursed her lips, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Meow, meow ~" Ugly Duckling stretched lazily, and casually exchanged a few meows as agreement.
Meg went up with a smile, and patted Amy's head as he consoled her. "Alright, if you want to eat, Father can make it for you now. Spicy crayfish, roast lamb kebabs, roast beef kebabs, roast fish … Tell me what you want to eat."
