Arcane Lord

In fact, what Xia Duo meant was very clear. If nothing unexpected happened, it was done by the spellcaster. How could an ordinary person cause such a wound? The diaphragm inside the heart was damaged! Even Xia Duo had never thought of such a sophisticated killing method before today. Of course, due to the previous examination by the wizard or the clergy, Xia Duo could not judge whether Ferbes died from the spell. Based on this wound alone, Xia Duo could not even judge whether the damage was caused by toxins or spells, but one thing was certain, it was inseparable from the spellcaster. If Xia Duo could make such a guess, then Mrs. Patty could naturally do the same, but what could she, an ordinary person, do? She grabbed Xia Duo and kept asking, "How was the wound caused?" This can no longer be described as a loss of composure, it was just like crazy. In this situation, let alone catching and killing the murderer, it is not easy to even obtain the murderer's identity. In the [Soundproof Barrier], Mrs. Patty's voice would not be transmitted, but her actions could be seen by the servants as long as they turned around. A young woman who had just become a widow only grabbed the hand of an equally young wizard, and there was no sound. How could it not cause other people's associations!

Xia Duo didn't care, but if Mrs. Patty refused to pay for this, he would be unhappy. Moreover, being grabbed by a strange woman and crying, even if she was a beautiful woman, Xia Duo felt very embarrassed.

If she continued to grab, would Xia Duo still be able to maintain the posture of a "great" wizard!

He just pushed the woman gently, but Mrs. Patty seemed to be shaken heavily. If Xia Duo hadn't pulled her, she would have been almost pushed out by Xia Duo.

"Mrs. Patty, should we end the task?"

"Lord Xia Duo, I'm sorry, I-" A woman with tears in her eyes always makes people feel sorry. Xia Duo is also an ordinary man, and he will make the same mistakes as all men.

But the body of her husband is still in the room. He has no thoughts. At this moment, his mind is completely occupied by tasks, rewards, and the task indicators of completing the promotion authority as soon as possible.

"Mrs. Patty, please accept my condolences. I can't help you find the murderer. Please finish the task as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll do it now!" Mrs. Patty wiped her tears and apologized again, "Sorry! Please ask Master Shado to come downstairs."

Shado cancelled the [Soundproof Barrier] and walked out of the study, while Mrs. Patty followed closely behind Shado.

...

"Hmph——"

In the living room on the first floor, seeing Shado appear, Kaili, who was drinking tea, snorted coldly and turned his body to the side, not wanting to look at Shado at all.

And Shado was too lazy to pay attention to him. He handed the task certificate to Mrs. Patty and found a seat to sit down. He watched Patty swaying and walking to another room.

Only then did Shado pick up the black hot drink that the servant had just brought, sniffed it lightly, and it smelled like tea. Looking at the expression of Master Kaili drinking tea, it seemed to be quite delicious.

Shado took a sip tentatively, and a fresh breath rushed straight to his head, just like drinking a sip of iced cola on a hot summer day.

The hot drink tasted like ice cola!

After taking another sip, the smell turned mild again. Only then did he feel that it was really a hot drink. After tasting it carefully, Xia Duo tasted the taste of plants, but he didn't know what kind of plants it was.

Perhaps it was still the so-called elf specialty.

Da Da Da——

Mrs. Patty came out with the mission certificate. Xia Duo drank the black hot drink in one gulp and stood up. The smell of the hot drink lingered in his chest for a long time.

Refreshing!

The slight dissatisfaction of the autopsy just now was swept away in an instant, and next, he knew that there was something more enjoyable waiting for him.

"Lord Xia Duo, this is the mission certificate."

Xia Duo took it and saw that Mrs. Patty's name had been signed on it, and there was a marked number - 400!

It was 150 more than the 250 gold coins agreed before. Xia Duo immediately felt that trouble was coming. As expected, Mrs. Patty wanted to invite him to continue the investigation.

"Lord, please help me!" Mrs. Patty spoke earnestly, and even knelt down in front of Kaili.

However, Xia Duo no longer wanted to continue, because this was probably useless, and he didn't have so much time to waste on this, so he quickly supported the woman, "Mrs. Patty, I have done everything I can do!"

But his gesture of extending his hand also showed that he was not as indifferent as he appeared on the outside. Mrs. Patty noticed it and immediately proposed to increase the reward, even if she couldn't find the result, she would accept it.

This woman is crazy! This was Xia Duo's first reaction. How stupid is it to pin your hopes on a stranger?

However, the increase in reward was still very attractive to Xia Duo, especially when Mrs. Patty suggested that there must be no result, and this opportunity should be rare.

Just as he was about to agree, Kerry, who was watching all this on the side, suddenly shouted, "Mrs. Patty, have you been deceived by this apprentice!"

At this moment, Kerry was angry and unwilling, and envious and jealous. Mrs. Patty actually left him, a formal mage, aside and showed great courtesy to an apprentice!

Hearing that he would unconditionally increase Xia Duo's remuneration, he could no longer hold back, "Xia Duo, I remember now, you are Xia Duo from the Arcane Garden, right? Do you think you can call yourself a wizard just by winning over a group of ordinary apprentices? You are delusional!"

Kaili was already incoherent. He had forgotten that even if Xia Duo was really just a mage apprentice, or even just an ordinary person, a single stroke of his heart would be enough to kill him.

His so-called class suppression of apprentices by mages was nothing in Xia Duo's eyes.

What's more, Xia Duo is also an official mage, but he just doesn't have the authority to obtain the mage tower.

However, his words still had an impact on Mrs. Patty. Although she was eager for revenge and although she still believed in Sha Duo, it did not prevent her from wanting to see more of Sha Duo's abilities.

The businessman's wife or lover is also aware of the role of waiting and watching. Before, it was just hatred and sadness that occupied the heart, but now someone has taken action again, and Mrs. Patty is silent.

When he saw Mrs. Patty lowering her head and saying nothing, Sha Duo suddenly remembered that Mrs. Patty acted like this when Kaili wanted him to get out of the way upstairs.

It was only because he was frightened by Kaili's dissection tools that he let Sha Duo check first.

Xia Duo even felt that once he left, the woman would immediately run upstairs to check whether there were hidden grids on the floor to verify Xia Duo's words.

Sure enough, it was not an easy woman to allow Fairbus to choose to leave his property to her instead of giving it to his son before he died!

However, since Xia Duo is ready to agree, he can't let Kaili mess with it, and he can't mess with it either!

"Mrs. Patty, I agree to your request, but now let's go upstairs and check the secret compartment. Maybe there may be any clues there."

Of course, Xia Duo didn't really want to find any clues when he said this. He was just responding to Kaili's doubts. No matter how he claimed to be a mage or how he questioned whether Xia Duo was inferior to him, if Xia Duo could discover the secret grid, then the broken heart could be justified.

Kaili didn't understand what Shado was talking about, but Mrs. Patty knew very well that just upstairs, Shado told him that there was a hidden compartment under the floor where the autopsy was performed.

Such confidence made Mrs. Patty's balance shift again, but she didn't want to give up on Kaili as a possible helper, so she invited Kaili to go upstairs for inspection.
