Lily's strength should be her only strength, no matter where the door opens, she can push it open anyway.After the heavy door of the family hall was violently demolished by her, Vivien summoned a gust of wind to blow away the dust and fog and the thick blood that came in front of everyone's eyes, and the situation in the hall was unobstructed.Hao Ren was not surprised to see the same terrible situation as outside, and he had finally found the main members of the missing Demon Hunter Warband.The hall was a mess, the corpses of dead members of the Ancatero family and witchers piled up in a mess, the dark yellow and black-red blood had long since dried up, turning into large disgusting smudges on the floor and walls.Between the bodies, a large number of fragments of tables and chairs and broken dishes were scattered on the ground, and traces of a banquet could be seen on the broken long table.The vaulted dome of the hall had been blasted out by some powerful magic, and a chaotic glow of sky spilled into the hall through the opening, gilding everything in the hall with an ominous dull glow."
These should be the demon hunters brought by the elder Amtura, it seems that there are no survivors," Lily covered her nose and walked in the Shura field, her tail unconsciously raised high, for fear of getting blood on her hair, "Many of them were killed by their own people." ”Together, Hao Ren and Vivien examined the nearest corpses.He found signs of burns from a high-heat weapon on a middle-aged witcher, and found what looked like shrapnel from the wounds of the deceased, but the immediate cause of the witcher's death was a hole in his forehead, and judging by the remaining magic around the hole, it was caused by a holy silver crossbow arrow.Vivien put her hand above the witcher's body, and a thin blood-red mist slowly floated on the corpse: "Seventeen wounds, seven wounds are from the witcher's weapons, and the other ten wounds should be caused by the Tana people's thermal guns and radiation weapons, and the fatal wounds are from your own people."
No signs of shadow residue were found.In addition, according to the situation of the other deceased around, the order of their deaths should be ......"
Vivian quite professionally restored the battle situation that happened here a month ago, and Hao Ren looked at her with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to be quite experienced in autopsy and case analysis?"
”"After all, I've seen a lot," Vivien said lightly, "and I also deal with blood, which hides the secrets of the dead." ”At this moment, a warm and warm light suddenly rose from the side, and Hesperius seemed to transform into a light source, summoning a warm light to dispel the cold atmosphere that lingered in the hall, and her eyes fell on the broken cups, plates, tables and chairs in the hall: "They must have suddenly started a fight in the middle of the banquet." ”Not only can you see the witchers and Tana people fighting, but you can also see the banquet table and a large amount of rotten food.Although it is difficult for ordinary people to believe that witchers and aliens will hold any kind of banquet when they walk together, the evidence here is unequivocal.Hao Ren remembered the information he had received from Bai Huo: "It seems that as Bai Huo said, the elder Amtura brought the demon hunter here to visit peacefully. ”"And the Ancatero family has set up a feast for these witchers," Wayne looked at the long broken tables, "and the change should have happened in the middle of the feast."
It should have been that the seal of the family's suppression suddenly failed, and the Shadow of Chaos came out and raided the people in the secret realm, leading to this big scuffle. ”"Do you think it's a coincidence or is it deliberate?"
Izzax asked in a deep voice, "In my opinion, if this is a coincidence, the timing is simply unlikely.The Ancatro family has guarded the seal for thousands of years without accidents, why did it get out of control in the middle of the banquet between the two sides when the witcher came to visit?
It seems that he waited until everyone was present before he did it. ”Hesperius nodded slightly: "I think so too, it must be the human factor that broke the seal." ”"But could it be them?"
Vivien pointed to the demon hunters who had died in one place, "All the demon hunters have also died here, and the entire secret realm is probably not alive at all."
If it was a man-made accident, the person who did it probably died here. ”Wayne, like most orthodox aliens, has a huge prejudice and hostile attitude towards witchers, so he subconsciously wants to put the blame on the latter: "Maybe this is what they planned, in order to eliminate the aliens, they can pay any price, and suicide attacks are ......"
"Let three elders bring a group of masters to carry out suicide attacks?"
Just to destroy a family that has no quarrel with the world?
”Vivien glanced at Wayne lightly, "Use your brain, the original attack on the Athenian sanctuary was only launched by two elders, and it was still a frontal war." ”Wayne was a little short of words, but he still tried to find a suitable reason for the accusation: "Maybe it's some extremist among the witchers, maybe this is also their unplanned." ”"Can some extremist break the seal without anyone noticing......"
Vivien disagreed, "and the seal is too unreliable." ”"The key now is to find out where the seal was originally located," Hesperius interrupted Vivien and Wayne, "to figure out where the Shadow of Chaos first came from." ”"Just find out where the original battlefield is," Vivien nodded, "This hall seems to be very suspicious - if the chaos came from somewhere else in the first place, the elders and leaders in this hall should have run out to control the situation as soon as possible, but now it seems that all the high-level demon hunters and clan elders are dead in the hall, so the initial melee should be here, and then spread to the rest of the secret realm." ”Izax raised an eyebrow: "The original location of the seal may be in this hall......
Or the hall underground?
”Hesperith said, "One of the 'actions' that could have led to the destruction of the seal took place in the hall, so it became an outlet for the Shadow of Chaos. ”Anyway, this hall should hide the biggest clue that you can't run.Hao Ren and the others took out twelve points of care, and continued to examine every dead and every trace of battle in the hall, in order to restore the scene of the moment when the accident just happened a month ago from this chaotic situation.Hao Ren noticed that Wayne was not far from him, so he asked casually: "By the way, do you know what the patriarch of the Ancatero family looks like?"
”Wayne didn't seem to hear Hao Ren's words, but frowned and looked puzzled: "Strange ......"
Hao Ren raised his voice: "What's strange?"
What about the Patriarch of Ancatero?
”Wayne noticed the people around him and quickly explained: "There doesn't seem to be a patriarch's body here. ”"You said the patriarch of the Ancatero family isn't here?"
Hao Ren couldn't hide his surprise, "Are you sure?"
”"His body hasn't been found yet," Wayne frowned, "It stands to reason that he must be here, and this kind of banquet patriarch must appear." ”Hao Ren rubbed his eyebrows, guessing the whereabouts of the patriarch and asked, "Then has anyone found the bodies of those three demon hunter elders?"
”As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Elizabeth shouting not far away: "Uncle Ren, Uncle Ren, there is one here!"
It's Amtura!
”The group was beckoned by the little devil and found a sturdy gray-haired witcher dead under a golden pillar, he was sitting with his back against the pillar, his eyes half-open and half-closed looking at the hollow in the ceiling, the blood stains on his black trench coat had dried up, and the old hunter held a silver dagger in his hand, but strangely there was no blood on the dagger: he did not seem to kill the enemy with this weapon at the last moment of his life."
This is Amtura?"
Hao Ren felt that this old hunter really didn't look like an ordinary demon hunter from his dress to his imposing, but he didn't know how little Elizabeth recognized it, "How are you sure?"
”The little devil pointed to the dagger in the old hunter's hand: "His name is engraved on it!"
”Hao Ren sighed, looked down to check if Amtura had left any clues, and suddenly found something strange on the pillar behind the other party: "Wait a minute, there seems to be something hidden behind his body." ”As he spoke, he pushed the old hunter's body aside, and sure enough, there was a scrawled line on the pillar: "They're right, we're wrong." ”The writing was engraved, no doubt from the bloodless dagger in Amtura's hand.
