With an absolute difference in strength, small tricks were useless.
The main reason was that Claus was still too weak. He couldn't even withstand an Ice Ring. If it were Hawk and Link, the Ice Ring would only affect their movements to a certain extent. It would be impossible for it to fix them in place.
At most, it would slow them down.
After standing there in a daze for a while, Roland summoned two Hands of Magic, grabbed the ice sculpture of Claus, and walked back with it.
He left the dense forest, walked through the city gate, passed through the bustling streets, and finally returned to the Magic Tower Square.
Along the way, everyone who saw this human-shaped ice sculpture hid to the side in fright. The more timid women even covered their eyes, not daring to look.
No one looked for trouble with Roland. Even the guards at the city gate didn't look for trouble with Roland when they saw a corpse. They only pretended to take two steps back as if nothing had happened.
Claus was considered a somewhat famous person in Delpon. After all, he was in charge of many of the Magic Tower's external affairs.
Now that they saw his ice corpse being carried away by Roland, many people were surprised and began to spread the news to their acquaintances.
When Roland returned to the Magic Square, the important factions already knew that Magic Apprentice Claus was dead, suspected to be Roland's doing.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Magic Tower, the two guards looked at Claus, who was floating in midair. Seeing that he was obviously dead, they were first surprised, then they lowered their heads.
They felt that they didn't know anything and didn't dare to ask.
Roland entered the Magic Tower and said, "Close the door. Other than the relevant personnel of the Magic Tower, no one else is allowed to enter."
The two guards immediately closed the heavy stone door, and they took the initiative to stand outside to help guard.
They didn't dare to stay in the Magic Tower any longer.
Roland continued to carry Claus's ice corpse up to the second floor, just in time to see Vivian walking down with two new magic apprentices.
Vivian was delighted to see Roland, but when she saw Claus, she wondered why he had been caught in midair. Then, she suddenly turned pale with fright and covered her mouth with both hands.
She couldn't feel Claus's mental power. He was clearly dead.
The two magic apprentices were from gangs and were no strangers to the dead. They looked at Claus for a while before hiding behind Vivian timidly.
Roland carefully put Cross's body down and straightened it.
Ice-elemental magic power didn't dissipate that easily. At this moment, Claus was still maintaining his previous posture, so he could easily "stand."
"Ring the bell and gather everyone."
Roland's tone was a little gloomy and sad.
Vivian put down her hands, walked up to the table, and rang the golden bell.
A crisp tinkling sound rang out. Vivian glanced at Claus's corpse and saw the struggle and fear on his face. She felt a little sad.
Although her relationship with Claus wasn't very good, she still felt a little sad that such an acquaintance had died.
Very soon, the magic apprentices came out of their rooms or their laboratories one after another.
When they saw Claus' corpse, they were all shocked. Some of them even started cursing, saying that this person actually dared to bully the Magic Tower.
Roland ignored them and just stood there quietly.
Soon, all the magic apprentices had gathered. They had been angrily clamoring for revenge, but when they saw Roland standing there quietly with a calm expression, their clamoring slowly died down and finally became completely quiet.
Vivian brought the two magic apprentices and walked into the line of magic apprentices.
Roland's gaze swept across the magic apprentices. Everyone was there, including Jerry, who had gone to see his grandchildren.
"As you can see, Claus is dead."
Everyone didn't have much of a reaction.
Then Roland added, "I killed him."
There was an uproar as if there was an explosion. Sounds of surprise and gasps rose one after another. Then, everyone began to whisper to each other.
But soon, they quietened down and looked at Roland, wanting to hear his explanation.
In the eyes of all the magic apprentices, Roland was a very kind and considerate person. If he really killed someone, he definitely had a legitimate reason.
"You should know that I've been investigating the disappearance of young girls." Roland looked at everyone and paused.
Vivian glanced at the ice sculpture of Claus and asked, "He's the murderer?"
"It's him." Roland nodded and then said with some discomfort, "If possible, I don't want it to be someone I know."
Everyone was silent. Although Claus wasn't a particularly outstanding or talented person, it wasn't a happy thing to see someone they knew die.
"Are you a hundred percent sure it's him?" Vivian asked timidly.
Actually, she wasn't doubting Roland, but was using this method to support Roland and create an atmosphere and reason for him to continue speaking.
Thus, Roland told them everything he had investigated during this period of time, including Claus's plan to divert the trouble and how he almost fell for it.
"He's a pretty smart person, but unfortunately, his brain isn't used on the right path." Roland sighed. "I brought Claus's body back just to tell you. Even if you don't want to be a good person, don't do bad things. Don't be a bad person. A large number of Golden Sons, including me, like people like Claus who don't have a bottom line because he will give us an excuse when we kill someone. He won't let his heart be condemned. "
All the magic apprentices had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Especially the two little magic apprentices. They looked at Roland with fear and admiration in their eyes.
"Jerry, inform Claus's family and have them come to claim the body. If possible, have their patriarch come over and talk to me."
The white-haired Jerry immediately replied, "Understood. I'll do it right away, Deputy Chairman."
At this moment, in the mountains a hundred kilometers away.
Betta found a mountain spring and parked the carriage nearby. Then, he took out cutlery from his Backpack, took out the freshly baked black wolf steak, and began to roast it.
The little maid, Lisa, was doing other chores at the side.
Just as Betta was happily brushing the spices on the steak, he suddenly froze. After a long pause of more than ten seconds, he turned his head and said to the little maid behind him, "Lisa, the culprit who bullied you has been found."
Lisa's face paled and revealed a look of fear. What happened that day was too terrifying for her. She was silent for a moment, and with a hint of resentment in her eyes, she asked, "Who is it?"
She knew that her master had a special ability that seemed to be able to communicate with other Golden Sons across space.
"Magic Tower's magic apprentice, Claus."
As soon as this was said, Lisa squatted on the ground in confusion. Roland was the deputy chairman. Since the culprit was someone from the Magic Tower, Roland couldn't have killed him, at least that was what Lisa thought.
Furthermore, Roland had done her a favor, and she didn't want to force Roland to kill Claus. After all, she was a little maid who knew how to repay kindness and when to advance and retreat.
But Betta continued, "Brother Roland has already frozen Claus into an ice sculpture. He's dead, so you can be at ease in the future."
After being stunned for two or three seconds, Lisa's eyes lit up.
Her entire face was so happy that it seemed to be glowing.
