Edward and Tucker hurried down the street, passing by a man and a woman. The woman had silver hair and was carrying a variety of shopping items, large and small. The black-haired man was eating an apple and walking leisurely in front of her, while the woman followed closely behind him.
Edward's eyes stopped for a moment when he saw the two of them, because he could feel the scent of wizards from their appearance and aura. As a wizard, Edward had grown up in the wizard tower and dealt with wizards all year round. As such, he was very sensitive to the existence of wizards.
Although the two of them did not look abnormal, their different temperament and appearance had already attracted Edward's attention. Edward immediately activated the witchcraft of mind power detection, but found that the two of them had disappeared.
Edward looked back in confusion, but he couldn't find them for a long time. This made Edward feel even more pressured. He felt that the task given to him by his teacher, Frank Kelermo, was probably much more difficult than he had imagined.
Although the unknown cannibal had not been investigated clearly, it was basically certain that it had something to do with wizards. Cardinal Peter of the Diocese of Light, who was not far away, had also sent people to investigate. They were expected to arrive in a few days. The entire city of Babus was also turbulent. The king's health had recently experienced some problems, so it was likely that there would be a handover of the throne at this time. The nobles and heirs to the throne were rushing back one after another, and the attention of the entire Mara Kingdom was focused on this city.
At this time, he had encountered a wizard of unknown strength. Edward felt that Babus had become a muddy swamp that could engulf him at any time. However, Edward still had no intention of giving up.
On the balcony of the second floor of a bakery, Lu Zhiyu and Eva looked down and stared at the frowning young man in the crowd. "Hey, look at those eyes. They're exactly the same as Frank's. Could it be that he's Frank's illegitimate son? He's too embarrassed to tell me, his teacher, so he used the excuse that he's the youngest student."
The apple in Lu Zhiyu's hand had been replaced by bread, while Eva was still diligently carrying a large pile of purchased items behind him. She took a look and said, "The hair color and pupil color are different, and the facial contour is also very different. The probability of him being Frank's descendant is less than 10%."
Lu Zhiyu looked at the alchemy maid and said, "I'm just joking. You have no sense of humor."
Eva continued, "I don't understand, but it's immoral to speak ill of others behind their backs, Master!"
“。。。。。”
Lu Zhiyu was speechless. "You can go back first. I need to take care of something. I'll be home soon."
Eva nodded politely. "Yes, Master. The ship to the Crete Empire will depart tomorrow morning. Please come back early."
Lu Zhiyu waved his hand and walked downstairs. "Got it."
Lu Zhiyu had waited for Edward for more than ten days. He had thought that Edward would have arrived a long time ago, but he had not expected him to be so late. Lu Zhiyu had basically figured out some of the things that had happened in the city. This was a story where no one was right or wrong. Lu Zhiyu was not in the mood to care, nor did he want to care.
However, according to the development of the plot, he was afraid that things would get out of hand. A genius wizard had no bottom line, and was desperate to use his power. The lethality and damage caused were countless times greater than that of an ordinary person. At that time, the ordinary people in the city of Babus would also suffer.
If it had been a normal historical progression and the outbreak of war, Lu Zhiyu wouldn't have intervened. However, the things that the enemy had developed were too terrifying, and the wizards and priests didn't have any means to restrain them. Lu Zhiyu didn't want to see the situation continue, as it was too far ahead of time.
Lu Zhiyu had been waiting for Edward, the student of his student, to come and deal with this matter. He had not expected him to be so late.
"Gone? How is that possible? "
Tucker angrily grabbed Old Chuck's collar and pulled out his long sword. Old Chuck was an old bachelor in his fifties, with only a few strands of hair on his head. At this moment, he was trembling as he said, "It really has nothing to do with me. Those corpses … The corpses ran away on their own."
Tucker felt that Old Chuck was completely humiliating him. Corpses could run away on their own? The dead could come back to life! Oh, Maria above! He had never heard such a wonderful story!
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Tucker slashed the table with his sword, then kicked Old Chuck to the ground. "Tell me honestly, where did the corpses go? Who the hell is behind this? What is the secret? "
"I've long felt that something was wrong with you, old thing …"
Edward stopped the furious Tucker and asked Old Chuck, "What do you mean? After those corpses were transported here, they moved on their own? "
Old Chuck kept nodding as he recalled his past memories. "That's right. I've looked at the graveyard for so many years, and I've never seen anything like this. That's the power of the devil. Those guys crawled back from hell."
Edward frowned. "You mean they came back to life?"
Old Chuck's hands kept shaking as he pointed outside. "No, no, they're not humans, they're monsters. That night, I heard some movement outside. I thought it was some damned grave robber, so I picked up the lamp and went out to take a look."
"And then, and then …" Old Chuck lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.
Tucker immediately became anxious. He lowered his body and asked, "And then what happened?"
"And then … and then …" Old Chuck's whole body trembled, and his body swayed strangely. His neck cracked, and even his voice became low and hoarse.
"Hurry up and tell me, what happened?" Tucker grabbed Old Chuck's hair and tried to lift his head.
At that moment, Old Chuck's head suddenly turned around. The veins on his face bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot. His skin turned pale like a dead man's. He opened his mouth and bit Tucker's hand. "Roar!"
Tucker let out a scream, and Edward immediately realized that something was wrong. He kicked Old Chuck away, and he hit the wall of the wooden house. A large piece of flesh from Tucker's hand disappeared, and fresh blood flowed all over the ground.
"Come, come, catch him! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"
A few city guards at the side immediately surrounded him and worked together to hold Old Chuck down. Old Chuck, who was originally thin and weak, burst out with power that required several strong young men to hold him down. The huge power made everyone feel as if they were sucking on milk. Then, they used ropes to tie him down before stopping to rest.
No one had ever seen Old Chuck like this. Just a moment ago, he was a living person, but in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a monster. Old Chuck kept chewing on Tucker's flesh and blood, and the strange sounds he made made everyone feel flustered.
