Passing through the woods and crossing the artificial lake, Zilinger, under the favor of the wind, shed his pursuers behind him. He looked around, planning to create the illusion of sneaking into the Tasok River by following the canal, and then turned and rushed into the economic center of Beckland, the Hillshton District. Just then, his vision suddenly blurred, and he saw the various colors in the darkness become exceptionally intense. The green trees became even greener, the bright red fruits even brighter, the dark water even darker, everything as if it had been painted with oil. And in the high sky where the Crimson Moon was obscured, there were countless transparent shadows of indescribable shapes, and different colors of clear radiance containing mysterious knowledge. Zilinger found himself stopping, floating in mid-air, with the dark water constantly rising beneath his feet, and beneath it were hands with pale skin reaching out to capture. Oh no! Zilinger understood that he had fallen into someone else's ambush. And the ambushers' strength was definitely not low! Suddenly, a huge human-shaped skeleton appeared before his eyes. This monster was four meters tall, with black flames burning in its eye sockets, and the white bones were ethereal and hazy. Zilinger stared at the enemy emotionlessly, a sneer forming at the corner of his mouth. At the same time, the glove of his left hand shone brightly, as if made of pure gold. Zilinger leaned back, his arms spread out, seemingly embracing the sun. A pure, intense light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the huge skeleton, and the entire oil-like world shook violently, the pale hands beneath the dark water evaporating one by one. This is the extraordinary ability of the "Light Priest"! This is the extraordinary ability of the "Sun" Path Sequence 5! This is the nemesis of the undead! The brilliant light column dissipated, and the huge skeleton first had its black flames in the eye sockets extinguished instantly, then became transparent, disappearing bit by bit into the air. Before Zilinger could use the "Light Priest" ability again to break the oil-like world, his expression froze. He saw another huge skeleton appear on his left side, nearly four meters tall, with black flames burning in its eye sockets, exactly the same as the previous monster. Immediately after that, skeletons like this suddenly emerged in his surroundings, one, two, three... a total of over a hundred! The hundreds of pairs of burning black flames eyes simultaneously turned their gaze towards the target. And below, the dark water was rising higher and higher, almost touching the bottom of Zilinger's feet. Pale, illusory hands grew out again, constantly waving upwards, trying to grasp the lifeline. ...... "You scatter and chase, try to surround them." Bishop Es Snick of the Storm Church commanded. In the sudden gusting hurricane, he soared into the air and flew towards the direction where Zilingerus was fleeing. Duke Negen and others did not join the "Punishers" and stood by the window or on the balcony, observing. At this moment, the panicked and running common nobles gradually calmed down. Because it was previously pitch-dark and there were continuous shouts and cries, they did not know exactly what had happened. They only knew that the Duke might have encountered assassins. Alger. Wilson gritted his teeth and ran out of Duke Negen's mansion, circling the opposite municipal park and heading towards the Hillsington area. Even if there was just a little hope, he wouldn't want to miss it! Suddenly, he heard a voice being "carried" by the wind: "No need to chase." No need to chase? Bishop Es Snick's voice... Alger. Wilson ran a few more steps before stopping and turned疑惑ly towards the mid-air. He saw Snick, the Archbishop, in a black robe with storm symbols embroidered on it, suspended in the air, gazing downward at the slanting direction. Alger. frowned and, without time to think about the reason, sped towards the location where the Archbishop was. As the distance closed, he used the extraordinary ability of "The Navigator" to see more clearly. The face of the "God's Song" Fang Zheng had no expression at all, but his posture indicated his solemnity. The grayish-white hair that emerged from under the black soft hat swayed gently in the wind, contrasting with the extremely serious silver eyes. Alger. lowered his gaze and ran out of the woods. A cold, clear lake surface with a flickering red moonlight suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a tall figure close to this water bank emerged. This figure had a distinctive wide chin, brown hair tied into an ancient warrior's hairstyle at the back, and dark green eyes that were icy and empty. Zilingerus! "Storm Chaser" Zilingerus! Alger. was stunned for a moment, then became both surprised and happy. He couldn't believe his eyes and suspected that the darkness had caused him to have hallucinations. Before he could make more reactions, he suddenly saw Zilingerus's face rapidly rotting, spewing out yellowish-green pus, and pieces of flesh falling off one by one. Plop! Plop! Plop! Zilingerus's face was reduced to bones, and the two empty eyes detached from the depression, crashing onto the ground by the lake surface in no particular order. Crack! Crack! Crack! Zilingerus completely disintegrated, his clothes spreading out on the surface, blocking the rotting flesh and bones, and the flickering light. In less than twenty seconds, Zilingerus, one of the seven pirate generals, died strangely in front of Alger. This terrifying scene was deeply imprinted in Alger's mind, making him doubt that he was having a terrifying nightmare. What happened? Was Zilingerus successful in escaping? How could he die so strangely and simply here? What exactly did he encounter, that he lost his life so quickly... He was Sequence 6's "Wind Follower", he was the master of "The蠕动ing Hunger"! Who did this? Why kill Zilingerus... Just as Alger couldn't control his thoughts any longer, he heard the magnetic voice of "God's Song" Es Snick: "Have you informed others of the intelligence?" "Has anyone else known this intelligence?" Alger. immediately regained his composure and looked at Zilingerus's corpse, preparedly explaining: "I just received the intelligence and reported it to Your Eminence the Archbishop." At this point, he couldn't help complaining in his heart: If Es Snick hadn't gone for a walk by the Tasok River and made me spend a considerable amount of time looking for him, Zilingerus might not have been able to escape from Duke Negen's mansion at all! Of course, he dared not voice such resentment in front of a powerful superior. He could only respectfully and humbly continue to describe: "The personnel who directly received the intelligence even sacrificed themselves, while those who acted as intermediaries did not open the letters. I can confirm this." "But I cannot be certain whether the source of the intelligence still exists and is not leaking. Since we can know this, others might as well." As Alger spoke, he was also speculating in his mind about who had killed "Admiral Hurricane" Zilinger: The person who commissioned Zilinger to assassinate Duke Negen, or the organization? But since Zilinger has already managed to escape and there is no possibility of any leakage, there is no reason to kill him... If it were me, I would have Zilinger infiltrate and carry out another assassination when everyone thought he had escaped from Beckland... And Zilinger has always trusted only himself. He would not tell anyone about the assassination plan in advance. Duke Negen has been holding gatherings for the few proposals of September recently, so there is no shortage of opportunities. Except for Zilinger himself, no one can determine when and where he will act... Unless, unless it was a "prophet"... Probably very rare... Other forces? Impossible. "Lady Justice" immediately noticed the problem and conveyed the information to "The Fool" in the form of a prayer, except for us, there couldn't be any organization that received the message simultaneously... "The Fool"... Alger shuddered in astonishment, thinking of a possible scenario: The one who carried out the action was "The Fool"'s follower! He happened to be in Beckland, so "happily" he helped out! The more Alger thought, the more this speculation seemed to be close to the truth: Only the members and subordinates of the "Tarot Society" could know the intelligence first! Only the follower of "The Fool" could carry out the action, making it seem strange and lacking a purpose! While his thoughts were swirling, Bishop Snick remained silent for a moment and said to the other "punishers" who arrived later: "Zilinger is dead. A high-level powerful figure killed him, or used a seal of the same rank. But this is quite dangerous and the possibility is not high." "After preliminary observation, I think it was a high-level powerful figure from the 'Death God' path, perhaps a member of the Spirit Order, but not the one I know, or a member of another secretive organization." "Motivation unknown." The Spirit Order originated on the southern continent. It is said that it was a secret organization established by some descendants of the "Death God" who attempted to resurrect the "Death God". After the continent was invaded and colonized, they nearly perished, but ultimately survived and developed in the northern continents. High-level powerful figures... Yes, only high-level powerful figures could kill Zilinger in such a short time! "The Fool"'s one follower was already at a high-level position... This was a "semi-god"! Alger looked at that pool of rotten flesh and bones again, and his entire state was very detached, as if he had lost all emotions, staring blankly and dazedly at everything. If one day I betrayed "The Fool"... Suddenly, such an idea popped into his mind. Immediately, a terrifying image of Zilinger's rapid decay flashed through his mind. Alger involuntarily shivered and lowered his head. At the same time, he relaxed. Since there was no way to escape and it was difficult to resist, he could only choose loyalty. Huh... With Zilinger dead, no one will threaten me with that secret anymore! He let out a breath and completely calmed down. ...... Inside Duke Negan's mansion, Audrey Hall, who was accompanying the mother and the noble ladies in discussing the recent assassination, saw her father, with his charming small mustache, appear at the door. She found a reason to leave the lounge and went to the balcony of the outside hall. "Father, is there something wrong?" Audrey looked at Count Hall with her emerald eyes. Her eye color was inherited from her mother, not her father. Count Hall smiled lightly: "Everything is settled, my child. You don't need to worry anymore." "Well... Have you told anyone that Grimal Baron was pretending to be someone else?" "No." Audrey shook her head firmly. I only told someone about a being that was almost like a god... She added silently in her heart. She thought for a moment and then described two more specific sentences: "After telling you, I went to the bathroom first, and then went to my mother's place. You can ask her." "Um." Count Hall nodded slightly and said nothing more. Instead, he continued, "Zilingerus is dead. He was killed." "Who?" Audrey was both surprised and excited. "I don't know. We even can't guess why the murderer wanted to kill Zilingerus. This is really hard to understand." Count Hall paused and said, "Perhaps it was an individual, or perhaps it was an organization, a secret and powerful organization." Not knowing the purpose... Secret and powerful organization... Could it be the "Idiot" Mr.'s follower? Could it be our "Tarot Club"? Audrey suddenly had a clear understanding.
