Chapter 597 - 322: Elemental Lord
"Wait, where is the Eye Demon?"
"If it’s been killed, where is the Eye Demon’s body?"
At this moment, Hamilton, coming to his senses, whispered.
Hamilton’s words seemed to break the spell over everyone, opening their floodgates of speech:
"Yes, where is the Eye Demon?"
"Where did the body go?"
"Surely it hasn’t been taken away?"
Everyone looked around but didn’t find the body of the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos.’ Instead, they found something else.
"Captain! Here are two headless corpses. Judging from the weapons and equipment, they should be the lords of the Jade Shield," reported a Wanderer from a subordinate team.
"And here, Captain," another person pointed to a corpse in Leather Armor lying four or five meters away from them. The body was intact, with a fatal wound piercing slightly to the left of the chest.
"It’s Simon Abbott, the main Wanderer of the Jade Shield." Paladin Kerman bent down, carefully examined the face, and turned back to speak to Hamilton.
The opponent was the one who was in contact with General Kobataen before dying.
"It seems the news is true; someone not only killed Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ but also killed three main members of the Jade Shield. The Eye Demon’s body has been taken away."
"In such a short time, who could manage that?"
"It’s a pity Simon died so quickly. Otherwise, we would have had more clues."
"By the way, did you just say that the mysterious woman might be a Drow Elf? Can you confirm that?" Hamilton suddenly thought of something and immediately asked the Wanderer from the subordinate team.
"Um, I judged from the footprints and can be 80% sure." The serious tone of their captain made this experienced Wanderer hesitant to make a hundred percent guarantee.
He knew this would affect the direction of the subsequent investigation.
"It’s a Drow Elf, I can confirm." At this moment, the Transcendent Paladin Kerman spoke up.
Hamilton naturally had no doubt about Kerman’s judgment and nodded.
However, this didn’t solve the doubts; instead, it deepened them.
"But if it is a Drow team, could it be the Hernet Family’s team? Why choose to kill Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’?"
Hamilton furrowed his brows, confused.
Firstly, the presence of Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ was undoubtedly a threat to the Empire, and for the Drow Elves, who were also natives of the Underdark, the Wandering Eye Tyrant was not completely unreachable.
Secondly, if it were to kill Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos,’ unless the matron herself came, even if it were the second-ranked family of the Drow, at least four or five High-tier Priests would need to come.
But the opposite side is currently at war with the Empire.
Both scenarios, in Hamilton’s view, had low probability.
"It’s unlikely it was the Hernet Family. According to battle reports, Hernet Family’s High-tier Priests appeared on the frontline, and they wouldn’t have the resources or necessity to risk major personnel losses to kill a Legendary Eye Demon."
At this moment, the seldom-spoken Priest Bard shook his head and spoke.
"If she’s a traitor among the Drow, could it be her human companion who killed Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’?"
"Hmm?"
Both Hamilton and Kerman looked at Priest Bard with a strange gaze, as if saying ’That’s impossible, isn’t it?’.
This line of thinking had been considered by the two men but had been rejected initially.
After all, how strong could the human companion of a Drow traitor be?
Could this person kill a Legendary-level Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’?
The probability was extremely low.
"I’ll try using Prayer Magic." Priest Bard thought for a moment and continued, "Maybe it can uncover some trace."
As a Priest at the Extraordinary Level, Bard knew that Prayer Magic was very effective for determining a problem’s nature, such as asking about the enemy’s general origins or location.
But if you were to inquire about specific information such as the enemy’s name or age, it would likely fail unless there was a huge gap in power.
Because Divine Beings prefer to give a vague, riddle-like answer that requires an interpretation.
"Is it necessary?" Hamilton knew that the cost of casting Prayer Magic was pricy, but after glancing at Bard’s expression, he nodded immediately, "Okay! I’ll reimburse the cost."
Bard nodded and pulled out a Crystal Card from his pocket, respectfully placing it above his palm before starting to chant softly.
If Raine were present, he would discover that Bard was chanting very much like a Drow Elf High-tier Priest casting ’Rose Prayer Magic.’
It’s actually much the same, except that the gods they first pray to are different.
"Great Lord of Dawn... Your light always illuminates the path... Please give guidance..."
A moment later, Priest Bard showed a joyful smile and said:
"Although the Lord of Dawn’s hint was subtle, I can confirm that the one who killed Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ is indeed the human companion of the Drow traitor."
Hmm?
Hamilton and Paladin Kerman glanced at each other, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes!
So strong?
Wait, how is this possible?
Who exactly is her friend? How could anyone be so powerful?
...
Meanwhile.
In the forest clearing outside Dorne City, Raine looked at a row of necromancy spells, unable to hold back his curiosity. He glanced at the Eighth Level Spell ’Death Ripple’, then at the Seventh Level Spell ’Death Finger’ below it.
