It was quite risky for the Association to send someone to the Tower of the Great Sage at this time of panic. So Grimwin planned to go in his personal capacity, hoping to say a few words with the goodwill and friendship of the past few meetings. He didn't want the other members of his team of inspectors to participate, to avoid creating too much pressure and irritating the Tower Master.
In addition, he also asked the chairman to send a team of mourners to accompany him, responsible for the task of collecting the remains. This was a team made up of members who studied death and soul magic.
This was because the unnatural death of a Mage could be accompanied by curses, plagues, or even undead and summoning demons. The team of mourners didn't have high combat power, but they were good at knowledge in this area, and their main task was to bring peace to the Mage's soul. In addition, they more or less had the ability to perform autopsies and investigations. Confirming the identity and ownership of the remains was also a job this group of people were good at.
After the two of them discussed everything, Grimwin asked the last question of his duty as an inspector. "Mr. Chairman, Cuipwood has the means of video surveillance. Should we preserve evidence in this regard to deal with people who question whether this matter happened inside or outside the tower? "
As an inspector, especially when the matter involved the annihilation of an official team in a Magic Tower, it was inexcusable not to investigate.
However, this kind of behavior also involved investigating the privacy settings of the Magic Tower. For some Tower Masters, this was a big taboo. It was reasonable to be killed as a spy for this reason, and the person involved had nowhere to cry. So Grimwin couldn't help but ask his chairman about his thoughts in this regard.
They had previously discussed that if the remains were forcibly kept in the name of spoils of war, the Association's position was not to fight for it. Orange Eaton also adhered to the same principle regarding the idea of the surveillance footage, saying, "If Cuipwood is unwilling to provide it, then forget it. If he is willing, your investigation report will have to be set with viewing permissions, and it can't be read by unrelated people. I think the permissions will be opened up to you, me, and the master of the West Tower. With the approval of three Great Mages, it should be enough to stop the waves of doubts. "
"Oh, Sita." Grimwin could not help but elongate his tone when he mentioned the person who did not get along with him.
"Although Tower Master Xi has many differences of opinion with us, he still has a sense of fairness in this matter. Choosing him was also to reduce the credibility of others questioning whether or not we were involved in an affair. After you depart, I will send someone else to convey my message to him. "
"Understood." Grimwin nodded and got up to leave.
Back in his research lab, Grimwin put an end to his ongoing research and began to prepare for his trip. Other than sending someone to inform the Mourners and setting a departure time, he also went to the Adventurers Guild Tavern in Wulian City and temporarily hired a group of people. His main job was to transport the five coffins and drive the carriage.
Because they weren't transporting heavy valuables, and they had a great mage as their escort, they didn't choose high-level adventurers, nor did they deliberately look for trustworthy people. Basically, they just needed to be strong enough.
Besides, business was booming in Wulian City recently, and there was a shortage of manpower. As long as they came here with good hands and feet, they could find a job with good pay. The guards of the Chamber of Commerce didn't even have time to rest. After returning to take over the carriage, they set off with the next team. It could be said that it was painful and happy. It was not wrong to earn a lot of money, but there was no time to spend it.
When everything was ready, it was already three days later. The delay was so long because of the lack of horses and carriages. Many caravans were already using mules to pull caravans when they were transporting goods. Even if it was a Great Mage who was a supervisor, it was difficult to use things that were no longer available.
In the end, Grimwin couldn't wait any longer. He pulled out a magic carriage from the association and put it on two luo birds before they could set off. It was not that no one questioned whether it was too exaggerated to use a carriage of this level to transport five coffins. Grimm, on the other hand, retorted with eloquence, saying that it was not an exaggeration to bring back the remains of three great magicians.
He had already used the name of a Great Mage, so no one dared to continue to talk. If they were too naive, they would go to the living and ask, "If you don't respect the dead, do you not respect me when I'm dead?" Usually, the ending would not be good.
At the same time, the news that the Tower of the Great Sage destroyed the supervisor team spread. What was even more surprising was that the supervisor team belonged to the Carditz district branch, and they were called the "Grim Reaper Team". Although the true identity of the members was confidential information, from the information that Master Wizard Grimwin blurted out, there were three Great Mages in the team.
The only Great Mage member that was made public was the Coos family's condemnation of the Tower of the Great Sage on the forum. However, the identities of the other four were quickly found out by the forum members.
The reason was very simple. There were not many Great Mages in the Carditz district, only about a hundred. Each of them was a celebrity who attracted a lot of attention. Now that three of them were missing, it was easy to figure out the reason. However, there were many speculations about the last Great Mage.
On this matter, there were only a few who condemned the Kos Family, but there were many who were celebrating instead. The main reason was that the grudge between the two parties was also publicized on the forum. Plus, the supervisor's identity was sensitive, and many people did not like this organization. Although no one dared to say it out loud, they were still secretly happy.
Even the relatives and friends of the four dead Mages pointed the finger at the Coos family, expressing their dissatisfaction. Because of such irrelevant reasons, no one would complain about the Tower Master who held the power of life and death. Instead, they would complain about the people who caused trouble. This was the norm in this world.
It could not be helped. The Tower Master had already destroyed a supervisor team, who would dare to go up and argue with him? If they wanted to vent their anger, they would go back and look for the family who caused trouble because of money. Moreover, most of them were ordinary people, so it would be easier.
Lin, who was in the Tower of the Great Sage, had heard about these arguments from Kaya before, but he did not continue to care. This world did not know how to use the Internet to control public opinion. Instead, it was stuck with a speech with beautiful words to attract people's attention. The latter was like a bubble that could be easily burst by the truth from different sides, and then lose its effectiveness.
However, Lin did not have the intention to go to the forum to stir up trouble. It was too much of a waste of time. It was better to focus on his own things. At the same time, he also learned from the president that the Master Wizard Grimwin was going to visit and the purpose of his visit.
After more than ten days of waiting, Lin finally saw the arrival of the Master Wizard Grimwin. This time, he chose to greet him personally instead of sending a clone to meet the guest. After all, the other party's attitude was quite friendly before, and the two apprentices were taken care of when they were in Wulian City. This kind of person should not have hidden evil intentions.
After the two parties greeted each other, Grimwin took the lead to explain the purpose of his visit. There was a certain ritual that required time to collect the remains and put the soul to rest, so Lin led everyone to the place where the remains were temporarily placed.
In fact, after the incident that day, the three apprentices were distressed about how to deal with the aftermath. It was unlikely that they would do the same thing to the villagers and directly expose the bodies outside the tower to show respect. It was one thing to provoke a village with less than a hundred people, but it was another to provoke a branch under the Society of Sorcerers. The former would only cause Lin some trouble, but the latter would be the prelude to a death wish.
After contacting the president, considering that there might be people coming to investigate the whole story, Lin decided to be more cautious. Fortunately, the person who led the clean-up was Kaya. The brown-skinned girl carefully packed the scattered body parts according to the individuals as much as possible and put them in burlap bags.
Lin was speechless.
According to Hallumi, her suggestion was to pick out the meat and feed it to the dogs. The rest of the body parts were thrown into the furnace in the casting room.
Lin was speechless again.
In the end, it was the teacher who personally directed the two girls to make ten wooden boxes to store the remains and the remains in an empty room on the second floor. They also set up a freezing and calming magic array so that the bodies would not rot and stink too quickly. Until today.
They led the Master Wizard Grimwin and the five-man team of mourners to the resting place on the second floor. The arrangement here was in accordance with the traditions of the Maze World. It was moderate and did not cause any suspicion of desecrating the dead.
After a simple calming ritual, the mourners opened the wooden boxes of the dead and were shocked speechless. There were no less than hundreds of neatly cut organs and body parts, all piled up in a mess in the wooden boxes. Not a single part of the body was intact, and many of the pieces of flesh were even parts of the body that were difficult to identify.
What kind of attack did he suffer to have such a miserable death?
Even this group of sorcerers who were used to dealing with the dead felt a sense of sadness.
The leader, the Master Wizard Grimwin, was even more shocked. He had thought of many ways to kill five sorcerers with the power of one tower, but the tragic death in front of him was not something that he knew of.
When he opened the box containing the remains, it was the same situation. It was no wonder that at the beginning, when Grimwin proposed to take back the remains and the remains, Lin agreed without hesitation. He did not have the intention to keep anything as spoils of war. After being cut up to such an extent, there was nothing left that retained its original function and value.
Looking at the pieces of the black robe, Grimwin knew that this was the thing that the Carditz branch wanted to take back. The long robe of concealment made by the Elven Court not only increased the wearer's magic resistance, but also had several anti-detection enchantments.
In other words, unless the person wearing this robe was seen by the naked eye, it would be as if they did not exist in the perception of magic. It was a perfect match for an assassin's stealth ability. This robe was also very popular among the sorcerers.
Now that it was a pile of rags, no one knew if it would still have its original ability after being sewn back.
