Chapter 167: To no avail

Francis emptied, or said that he did not find some of the people he was looking for, such as the most hidden and the most unknown necromantic sect in the wizarding sect.
They were born in the night of the suffering of the wizard's persecution. Under the leadership of the death lord named Bruno, the first group of necromancers formed the [Night Watcher]. They are famous for manipulating corpses and have the strongest and toughest. Spiritual entity, but they are too gloomy and lonely, and even the wizards do not wait to see them.
These people were the targets that Francis was looking for, but they didn't find any death night watchman when they rummaged Wuqiu.
The director of the Three Witches in Cusconal and one of the members of the Supreme Council of the Three Witches. Although the legendary raven wizard Jacqueline temporarily acquiesced in their actions, the charges and complaints against Francis were submitted all the way. To the emperor of the Purple Palace.
Faced with this situation, Francis can only stop and go back to find another way.
But his suspicion of the death of the night watchman did not stop, because the empire was forced by the Kaimon Church to declare the organization as a heretic cult as early as three hundred years ago, but secretly the three witches have been covering this organization, this matter The secret guards also started investigating a long time ago, but there is not much valuable information, just know that the dead night watchman is mostly active in the east and south of the empire, carrying out some "illegal" witchcraft experiments.
Francis had participated in such investigations in his early years. He had witnessed a zombie mine with no living people in it, only decayed dead people digging and transporting ores and wastes in the dark mines day and night, and this The owner of the mine is a night watchman. Just when they were about to arrest the necromancer, a group of wizards suddenly rushed out to make trouble, allowing the necromancer to escape.
This incident has always made Francis hate, so when Karen mentioned the dead, he thought of these lawless villains the first time.
But again, these wizards shielded their criminal counterparts, and Francis was able to extract every lie they said from their flashing eyes and vague language, or when he stepped on the witch hill , I never got a truth,
Probably only the gargoyle at the door said "Welcome" is true.
"Simon, arrange three teams to watch me here. Anyone who is close to this place, no matter who he is, will investigate it for me!"
Walking on the winding ladder path, Francis, with a sullen face, gave his deputy a surveillance order, and the other responded with a nod.
Karen walked beside him, using a pen to write the last few lines of the small book, and then handed it to Francis' palm.
"...The total number of wizards has increased significantly, the proportion of combat wizards has increased, there are traces of construction, the kitchen has a large amount of food reserves, and many unmanned empty rooms have obvious smoke aromas..."
Receiving the small book in Karen's hand, Francis uttered the text softly, and his eyebrows grew tighter.
"The wizards in Wuqiu are more than the hundreds we saw."
"According to the usual practice, this season is when the wizards meet to hold the cold rain festival. The average number of people in Wuqiu is about 200, but the light we see today is about 400 on the bright side, and there are many Not seen."
Karen’s words touched the string in Francis’s heart. He instinctively hated these wizards, not only because of the failed mission, but also because he had seen a wizard’s mutant appearance, the suffocating distortion and evil.
When he thought of hundreds of things in the capital of the empire that would become monsters at any time, he was horrified.
In contrast, although Arcanists have been gloomy and short-lived, they are generally safe, and short-lived may not be a good thing. At least they don’t have so much attention to conspiracy.
If the empire had to form an alliance with some supernatural power, Francis would rather choose the arcanist than the madman who played witchcraft.
Just as Francis was going back to prepare a plan, he heard the clutter of footsteps behind him. He subconsciously held the pistol in his waist and turned around.
Seeing that several wizards were coming towards him, Francis let go of the tension, but his hand did not leave the gun.
"Mr. Francis..."
The wizard led by the raven sent him in front of him and took off his mask, which was Peugeot, who had been waiting for a long time.
"...My name is Pegdo Esposito. I have something to talk to you about."
"Oh, is it, like an unlucky prophecy? Or maybe I have to get out of here after a while?"
Francis smiled, but there was no smile in his tone.
Peggy raised his eyebrows, and was not angry because of the other party's hostility. After all, this was also what he expected.
"This is also a thing, but I have more serious things to discuss with you, such as those who are missing, and the crisis hidden in Cusconal."
"Is that so, I would like to hear the details."
Francis narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed a dangerous light.
"Some people are planning something. I can't see what those people are. My mentors and colleagues are working this matter, but a few days ago, I made some discoveries."
Pegdo went one step further towards Francis, without ignoring the other's dagger-like cold gaze, staring at the eyes and whispering:
"Flame~EbookFREE.me~ Flame surrounds this great city, and there are countless deaths..."
After speaking, he was silent, and everyone looked at Francis, waiting for his reaction.
"that's it?"
With his hands spread, Mi Wei's "You are bluffing my expression".
"Those flames..."
Paigor paused, as if thinking about whether to say the next thing. When he saw Francis gradually losing patience, he finally made up his mind.
"...It's blue."
This time it was Francis's silence, and he glanced at Peggy more, his eyes gradually becoming mocking and pitying.
"Mr. Wizard, do you understand what you are talking about?"
"Of course I understand, but this is all I have seen, without any words."
"I was a waste of time."
Francis waved his hand, as if driving the flies in front of him, and he turned around and went down the stairs.
"Mr. Francis! We must pay attention to those people! You need our help!"
Behind Peggy's cry behind him sounded like noise, and he ignored it.
"Be careful!"
As soon as Peggy's words began, Francis' feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person instantly lost his balance and rolled down the stairs in a very funny gesture.
"Sir!"
"Darling!"
His two entourages suddenly changed their faces, hurried to catch up, and picked up the disgraced Francis at the next corner.
"I said it before."
After Francis looked at him resentfully, he took a step and quickly disappeared at the end of the ladder, leaving only Peggy more helpless behind him.
