284. The secret of murder


It took three and a half days, and more than sixty barbarians in their prime, to carry the entire cellar of golden cider into the underground caverns.During this time, I opened the portal four times, and almost every time I drained the last bit of thunder mana from the Thunder Seed.There was only one last barrel left in the empty cellar, and I sat on it, my feet dangling in the air and rhythmically lifting the walls with my heels, the casks clattering.I played with the Space-Breaker hammer in my hand, and the tip of another Shura battle axe was plunged deep into the hard oak of the keg, reflecting the light of the torches, emitting a cold light from the Shura battle axe.I wore a plain black magic robe embroidered with plain patterns on the cuffs, brim, neckline, and hem of the robe, which Tracy had given me as a gift at the Harvest Festival, and she thought that the more simple and simple the magic robe, the more noble it would be.However, a magic robe embroidered with a magic pattern is usually expensive, and it is likely that Tracy has received Fanny's funding this time, otherwise she would not have been able to afford such an expensive magic robe.Karantso and Ruka stood on my left and right, the Minotaur Ruka holding two double-edged battle axes in his hands, his eyes wide like copper bells, staring at the two humans in front of him, his tower-like burly body, so that the two people opposite could not resist at all.The orc warrior Karantso stood beside me with her hands on her chest, pursed her lips and said nothing, she was a little distracted, her eyes fell on the orc carrying the barrel, and saw the orcs sitting on the ground, dismantling some of the oak tree shelves that held the barrels into chopping wood, gathering them into a pile, and lighting a bonfire in the cellar, she frowned slightly, as if she was very dissatisfied with the orc warriors who had become loosely disciplined after work, she hooked her hand, beckoned an orc warrior captain who came over, and whispered a few words in his ear.The orc captain trotted into the middle of the group of orcs, whispered a reprimand at them, and drove them back into the valley of the willows.Two men in the prime of life stood across from me, looking a little embarrassed and covered in some dust, apparently suffering from being caught by the orcs.They also tried several ways to hide, were discovered by orc warriors several times, and successfully escaped several times.One of them once two people hid in the barrel, almost fooled around, and escaped into the Xinliu Valley, but unfortunately they had served in the army before, and their own strength had exceeded the strength of the seventh-level warrior apprentice, without the recognition of the World Tree of the Xinliu Valley, they themselves were rejected by the power of the rules of the plane of the Xinliu Valley, and when an orc carried the barrel into the portal, the wine barrel suddenly exploded, and the horseman Hank inside was ejected by the power of the portal and disappeared from the orc's field of vision again.Our strategy is simple and practical, no matter how much it costs, to empty the golden cider in the cellar, and the two men hiding in the barrels will eventually have nowhere to hide.In fact, the two of them were most successful when they dug a large pit in a corner of the cellar, put two empty casks into the pit, and spread a thin layer of soil on the lid of the cask to hide themselves in the cask, and closed the lid of the cask so that they could lie in the dirt and breathe normally.The remnants of the excavated earth were scattered in hidden corners of the cellar, but unfortunately they also failed to collapse, because the orc warriors stepped on the lid of the barrel and made the sound of beating drums.It was this time that the orc warriors managed to capture them, Mafu Hank was dressed in plain linen clothes, with a milky white fleece sheepskin waistcoat on his upper body, and his hair was messed up like a chicken nest, he was tall and straight, just looking at his strong arms and bulging chest muscles, you knew that he had a strong explosive power.He grinned and rubbed his injured shoulder with his hands, and stood across from me, squinting at me earnestly.The other gardener, who was easy to overlook, was getting shorter and shorter, and he was looking at me seriously with two small black bean-like eyes.Hank took a deep breath and asked me, "Is it destined to die?"

”"Of the two of you, will anyone dare to stand up and say out loud that I haven't slept with Count Zimmerman's woman?"

I asked rhetorically, the space-time breaker hammer in my hand filled with flickering arcs of lightning, and a ray of thunder surrounded the hammer and flowed outward through my fingers.Hank was silent, and the gardener's eyes shrank to the point of a needle, and he looked at me in horror, his face turned extremely pale, and the moment he saw the arc in my hand, his body seemed to lose all strength, and it became very weak.I nodded slowly, a contemptuous sneer on my face, and said to them, "The reason I killed you was because you knew some secrets that you shouldn't know, such as my orc henchmen, or that mysterious portal.But you also have reasons for certain death, such as breaking the laws of the Grimm Empire, nobles, this crime is not a light punishment in the imperial code!

”Hank uttered something almost like a tongue twister, and he asked me with a wry smile, "If we didn't have a reason to die, wouldn't we know your secrets?"

”I could understand this, and I said to him without hesitation: "Of course!

If you don't have a reason to die, I won't try to empty the whole cellar in order to find you, you won't know some secrets about me, even if you don't know these secrets about me, I don't need to kill you with my own hands, leave you to Ann, I believe he will be happy, but unfortunately, now I can't do this, in order to keep my secret, I have to kill you with my own hands!

”I paused, glanced at Karantso beside me, and thought: maybe I don't have to kill it myself!

As I motioned for Karantso to come over, I said to the two men, "Of course, the heir of the Zimmerman family doesn't want some of the things that happened here to be spread.And you have also violated the laws of the Empire, even if you are sent to the Inquisition, you will not escape death in the end.If we go to the court, maybe some secrets will not be kept, so we don't plan to do that!

It took a lot of effort for me to find you out of the cellar!

”"I'm sorry, but I can't provide you with a delicious dinner before I die!"

I said another word to both of them apologetically.After speaking, I put the war hammer on the barrel at random, closed my eyes slightly, chanted magic spells in my mouth, and light blue magic lines drilled out of my fingertips, staying in mid-air, forming a complicated magic pattern array, I want to directly use the ice wall technique to freeze two people into ice sculptures, it is best to freeze them directly in it, and die of suffocation, so that at least I can say that it is manslaughter.Mafu Hank and the gardener saw me draw the magic pattern circle, and immediately realized the danger, and their faces changed drastically, and they both looked at each other, and each saw the despair in each other's eyes.A wall of water fell from the sky, they couldn't dodge, from head to foot directly drenched the two of them into two soup chickens, the two were then covered in the wall of water, just before I shouted the word, Hank and the gardener kicked each other for the first time, the two quickly broke away from the wall of water, and watched Hank and the gardener roll away to the left and right respectively.Hank's body was as flexible as a huge gibbon, and after rolling around on the ground, he pounced directly on the orc warrior on the left, performing a pounce posture, grabbing the orc warrior's eyes with both hands, just when the orc warrior swung sideways and waved the sharp axe in his hand to resist, Hank suddenly changed his move in the middle, withdrew his hands, bent down with his chest, and put his shoulders directly on the chest of the orc warrior, knocking the orc warrior to the ground.Seeing that Hank was fierce and fierce, Ruka strode forward with two double-edged axes, wanting to chop Hank in half with an axe, and Karantso also carried the black iron spear with an iron and wooden rod in his hand, forcing Hank's retreat to death.At this time, the gardener's body was more flexible, he rolled back and forth on the ground a few times, avoiding the orc warrior on the right several slashes, his body actually began to slowly fade, like a cloud of green mist, and finally he rushed towards me with great speed, and suddenly there were two more sharp daggers in his hands, and I was sitting alone on the barrel, and there was no one around to protect me.The gardener's desperate assassination flexibly avoided everyone's encirclement.The gardener hesitated a little when he saw the indifference in my eyes, but his body did not slow down, and one dagger stabbed me in the chest, and the other dagger fell head-to-head.Seeing that there were no more warriors around me to stand up and stop me, a cruel look of joy appeared in the gardener's eyes.He had been holding back, just to wait for this moment, and now, he had finally succeeded.That intense pleasure made him excitedly want to shout up to the sky, but at this moment, something unexpected happened, an ice shield appeared in front of him, the dagger in his left hand was pierced on the ice shield, and the ice shield shattered in an instant, and a strange cold breath wrapped around his hand and dagger, instantly condensing a thick layer of hoarfrost.The gardener didn't stop because of this, because maybe if they caught me, they would have a chance to live!

The dagger in his right hand was still stabbing at my chest, but the second ice shield was already in front of him, and his right hand broke through the ice shield, which was also covered with frost, and he was shivering from the cold, but he still gritted his teeth and stabbed at me.The last ice shield slapped directly into the gardener's face, and as he stared blankly at the sky, the third ice shield turned into a snowstorm fluttering in the wind, scattering into countless pieces.He was slammed back by the third ice shield, and I sat down on the barrel, leaning forward slightly, holding out a finger on his forehead, and gently spitting a word out of my mouth.Coagulate!

The gardener's thin body was directly frozen into an ice sculpture by me, and there was even a faint layer of ice flame burning on his body, and his body leaned forward slightly, and his hands were clutching two daggers with teeth and claws, which looked a little ridiculous.And Mavhank was pierced in the chest by Karantso's spear, and the whole person was picked up by Karantso with a spear, and he grasped the wooden pole of the spear tightly with both hands, and stared at me coldly with a pair of dead fish eyes, and streams of blood gushed out of the corners of his mouth.I looked up at Hank on the tip of the spear coldly, and didn't say anything more.The magic pattern circle on my fingertips re-condensed a wall of water, and the wall of water fell from the sky, enveloping Mafu Hank, and at the same time, I shouted again: "Condensation!"

”Mavhank was frozen on the tip of Kalantso's spear, completely frozen in the ice wall.The eyes of the last one of them are still very attached to this world, but unfortunately the final fate is only to be pierced by a spear, provoked, and then frozen in the ice.Place the two ice sculptures of Hank and the Gardener in the center of the cellar in the most prominent position."

Karantso!"

I said to Karantso: "Take the warriors and return to the valley of the willows!"

”Without hesitation, Karantso said to me: "Yes!

”Until one foot stepped into the portal, the orc female warrior Karantso still looked at her black iron spear stuck in the ground with reluctance."

Let's go, I'll put this spear away for you when I go back, and I'll help you take it to Xinliu Valley next time!"

I said comfortingly to Karantso.Karantso gave me a slightly twisted look and slipped straight into the portal.The underground cavern near the stone wall on the right side is filled with huge oak wine barrels, extending hundreds of meters from the location of the teleportation altar to the inside, these barrels are neatly arranged like the stone walls on both sides of the stone wall, I didn't expect that there would be so many golden ciders in the entire wine cellar.Seeing an orc guarding in front of these oak barrels every ten meters, I was a little stunned to see that although the barrels in the cave were very neatly arranged, other substances were scattered and scattered on the ground, and then I thought: I should build a material transfer station around the teleportation circle.Telling Kalancuo his thoughts, Karantso frowned and said to me: "It's good to pay attention to building a transit station, but if you want to establish a stronghold in this underground cave, it will take a lot of manpower, material resources, and time, and there are only a hundred orcs in our village, so we can't take care of so many things!"

”Standing in Karantso's ear, I told her in detail about my wonderful ideas, and her eyes sparkled as she listened.My idea is to make the underground cavern and the short section of the teleportation altar completely sealed with iron fences at the front and back ends, and set up an exit only on one side, so that it can become the easiest material transfer station, not only so many barrels full of golden cider, but also a large number of other kinds of materials that will be transferred to the Xinliu Valley in the future
