Chapter 102 Conspiracy! Strange murder case!
Lil nodded:
“I figured it out. This kid is a spellburner who has been studying in the White Tower.

He was expelled a few days ago for killing the Northern Duke's nephew, and then he came here."

"What, killed the Northern Duke's nephew?" Hans was shocked.

Who is the Duke of the North?

He is a big shot who can make Dante tremble with just a stomp of his feet!

It is said that he only had one nephew who could inherit the family business, but Raven killed him?

Not to mention that he has no background, even if he had a background, he would be doomed.

Lil sneered: "I don't know if he is stupid or foolish to do such a thing. I'm sure he won't live long."

Hans was startled, his eyes rolled around, and he said:
"He won't implicate us, right? After all, you and I are nominally his subordinates."

"You're right. We must draw a line between ourselves and him."

"Yes, if he wants to die, don't drag us down with him."

Hans's eyes gleamed with ferocity.

"By the way, does Viscount Horton have any instructions?"

"The Viscount asked us to sideline this guy and conceal the information about the Starlight Iron Mine from him to prevent him from causing any trouble."

Hans frowned. "Hidden from him? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. After all, there are many eyes and mouths."

"Humph, just a furry kid!

As long as we keep the news secret, and the Viscount sends more people to guard the place, he won’t know a thing.”

"What if?"

"Hehe, if he dares to ruin our good deeds, then..."

Lill made a throat-slitting gesture viciously.

"Just like the Viscount did to the last guy."

Hans nodded noncommittally.

After saying this, Lier took out a bag of gold coins and stuffed it into Hans' hand.

"This is the dividend the Viscount gave you."

Hans weighed the gold coin and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, Lord Viscount, for me."

"The master said that as long as we work hard for him, he will not treat us unfairly.

As the Starlight Iron Mine is mined, our dividends will increase.”

Hans' smile widened:

"Don't worry, that kid can't make any waves!"

Early that morning, Raven was meditating when there was a knock on the door.

Raven opened the door and it turned out to be Lanster standing outside.

"You can move?" Raven was surprised.

You know, his injury would have kept him bedridden for at least a month, but he was able to walk in just over a week.

"It's okay," Lanster smiled, "I'm getting moldy from lying in bed all day."

"What do you want from me?"

"Well, I want to learn about this world?"

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
Suddenly he had an idea.

Could this guy also be a time traveler? Did he lose all his memories?
"What do you want to know?" he asked.

"Anything is fine, whatever you want."

"Well, the country we are in is Dante's country..."

He spoke in detail for a full hour, during which time he secretly observed Lanster.

Most of the time he looked confused, and occasionally he would fall into deep thought, which gave him the feeling that he had lost his memory.

But for some reason, every time he looked into his eyes and gazed into his deep pupils, Raven always had a feeling that there seemed to be something deeper hidden behind that gaze.

This is the intuition that comes from extraordinary perception.

Especially when he talked about several creatures that Qinglan believed in, Lanster's eyes became strange.

How to say it, it was as if that moment was no longer him.

In short, Raven felt uneasy, and even his hair stood on end.

He finally confirmed that Lanster was probably not a time traveler, but he was definitely hiding a huge secret.

As to whether this secret was good or bad, he couldn't tell for the moment.

"Thank you." After Raven finished speaking, Lanster stood up and said goodbye.

"Can I ask you a question?" Raven called him.

"Please say."

"You are filled with a strong aura of death, but very little breath of life. Do you know that?"

"You want to ask, am I a ghost?"

"good."

Lanster shook his head: "I don't know."

Raven thought about it, picked up a knife and cut his arm, blood flowing out.

He brought it to Lanster's nose and said, "Smell it." Lanster sniffed and said, "What does it mean?"

"Do you feel hungry and murderous?"

The latter breathed rapidly and suddenly stuck out his tongue to lick the wound.

Raven's eyes narrowed.

"Pah, that stinks." Lanster suddenly laughed, "Even if I'm hungry or thirsty, I won't do that to you."

I rub!

Raven didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Here's a suggestion for you. Try not to appear in front of the powerful men of the Church. In your current state, they may mistake you for an undead and destroy you."

"It doesn't matter. I won't run into that kind of strong person if I stay here."

"Stay here? What do you mean?"

Lanster shrugged: "Are you short of manpower here? Why don't I follow you?"

Hey! Why do these words appeal to me so much?

Raven was inclined to keep him, but was a little hesitant.

He has so many secrets that he might get into trouble.

"I have great strength and a strong ability to recover, which should be useful to you." Lanster added.

"Okay, then stay." Raven made the decision.

At least the other party is not a bad person, and now is the time to use him.

Just after seeing Lanster off, Angel came to him.

She had always been thinking about the girl named Yuexi and insisted on going to see her together.

Raven has been so busy lately that he almost forgot about this matter, so it was a good opportunity for him to go with her.

When they found Yue Xi, the little girl was sitting on the ground in a daze, her eyes as empty as a dead person.

In front of her lay a woman covered in blood, no longer breathing.

"Yuexi, what happened?" Riven had a bad feeling.

The girl turned around and saw that it was Raven, and she burst into tears:
"Mom is dead, she's dead!
Wuuwuwu, it's all because of me, I hurt her!"

An Qi went forward and hugged her: "Tell me what happened."

"It was because I was crying out for hunger that my mother went with a few uncles to the northern mountains to look for food.

As a result, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the mountain and started hacking at my mother and the others.

Mom and Uncle June escaped, but she was so badly injured that she died within two days.

Woo woo woo! Mom, I'm not hungry anymore, can you come back..."

"How could such a thing happen?" Raven's face turned grim.

This is his territory, how dare someone kill someone in broad daylight?
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge your mother.

Where is the Uncle June you mentioned? I need to ask him something."

Under Yuexi's guidance, Raven met Qiong.

His arm was wrapped in thick cloth and was bleeding.

After some understanding, Raven roughly knew what had happened.

Although Beishan is Lentini's territory, there have been frequent murders in the past two years, so the villagers dare not go there.

The refugees also heard about this, but because they had eaten all the food, they wanted to take a risk and ended up meeting with misfortune.

Raven was angry, and it seemed like this was not the first or second time.

This kind of thing happened in his own territory, he had to get to the bottom of it.

After leaving Qiong, the two helped Yue Xi bury her mother and then took her back to the mansion to settle her down.

That day, Raven discussed with Sean and Hans and decided to explore Beishan.

Hans initially strongly opposed it, believing that the refugees were causing unrest and there was no need to waste manpower on this, and he found various excuses to shirk his responsibility.

But at Raven's insistence, he finally obeyed.

The next day, Raven picked up Joan and led the team to the North Mountain.

In addition to Sean and Angie, Lanster also came to the team.

It was his initiative that he asked for it, and Raven agreed when he saw that he was almost well.

After walking for about half an hour, we saw endless mountains in front of us.

These mountains are bare, with few trees, and look very barren.

"It's this road. Turning around is where we were attacked." Joan said hatefully, pointing at a small path.

Seeing that road, Hans's face changed and he shouted:
"My Lord, this is a dead end. I think we should take another one, which will allow us to patrol this place better."

Raven waved his hand and said calmly, "Let's go to the place where Qiong was attacked first, and then go your way."

"This……"

"That's what we'll do. Hurry up and follow us." Raven took the lead and went up that road.

Hans suddenly called out to Raven: "Lord, please slow down!"
