Chapter 68 ‘Jinzhan City’ and ‘The Found Corpse’ (Please Read)
After buying things in the store, Chen Mu did not choose to stay in Colin City for a long time.
After all, this city is the territory of the [Nature Church] and is also very close to the Colin Mining Area.
Once Rus’s body is found, the first person to be suspected is him, the person pretending to be Rus.
Although Chen Mu believes that he handled the body well, it is inevitable that some evidence may be left.
Ordinary people may not be able to find him with just a corpse, but the person in charge of the South Mining Area is a second-level wizard apprentice after all. Who knows if there are any means that Chen Mu does not know.
So for his own safety, Chen Mu did not choose to stay in Colin City.
But he chose to take a caravan to Jinzhan City. After paying two magic stones, the caravan was happy to take Chen Mu to Jinzhan City.
It was dozens of days after Chen Mu arrived in Jinzhan City.
Jinzhan City is closer to the central area of the southern continent.
This city is quite prosperous, and there are even many small wizard organizations and wizard academies in the city.
Chen Mu found a hotel in the city and lived there first.
Although the Violet Continent is not completely unfamiliar to Chen Mu, this Jinzhan City is indeed very unfamiliar to him.
In the next few days, he will first find out the distribution of forces in Jinzhan City, and then make plans.
This is no longer the previous secondary continent, and the Great Knight is not the strongest group of people here.
There are more than one or two people who are stronger than the Great Knight here.
So Chen Mu must be steady in every step, and the main goal is to stay alive.
At least before getting familiar with this city, Chen Mu will not have any intersection with anyone.
Fortunately, the new simulation number will come in a few days. This simulation directly opened in the wizard continent may bring him a lot of gains.
It must be said that Chen Mu’s worry is not unreasonable, because just a dozen days after he left.
Colin Mine, South Mining Area
"Sir, this batch of mica ore has all been shipped to the organization. Compared with the amount of ore mined last quarter, the amount of ore mined has increased a lot."
Malai said flatteringly, and handed the registration form in his hand to the white-robed man in front of him.
The white-robed man, the second-level wizard apprentice Aika, took the form and glanced at it, and nodded.
Malai could not have falsely reported the amount of ore, so he just checked it casually.
After the inspection, Aika did not speak, and motioned Malai to follow him.
Next, he needs to inspect the entire South Mining Area.
Every quarter, the wizard apprentice in charge of the mining area must conduct routine inspections, but for Aika, this kind of thing is nothing.
After all, few people will cause trouble in the Colin Mining Area, and everyone knows that this is the territory of the [Nature Church].
Now he just wants to inspect the mining area casually, deal with it, and leave here.
He feels that the air here is dirty.
As a "genius" with second-class wizard qualifications, coming here is a waste of his precious time to practice meditation.
Passing through the mines one by one, Aika did not stop.
Marley followed Aika closely.
"Huh!"
Finally, when passing by an abandoned mine, Aika stopped and exclaimed.
"Is there anyone mining this mine now?"
Aika spoke softly. This was the first sentence he said after coming here.
Marley quickly turned his eyes to the mine Aika was referring to.
After taking a look, he shook his head and said, "Sir, this is an abandoned mine. No one is mining it now."
"Abandoned mine?"
Aika chuckled and motioned Marley to follow him, and he stepped into the abandoned mine first.
Although Marley was a little confused, he still followed Aika silently.
After entering the abandoned mine, Aika frowned slightly and covered his mouth and nose.
[Zero Ring Witchcraft·Cleaning Spell]
A cleaning spell was cast by Aika, and the dust in the mine disappeared instantly, becoming extremely clean.
Marley had seen the wizard's tricks, so he was not surprised.
"Move these stones away."
Walking to the depths of the abandoned mine, Aika stopped and said.
There were only two people here, so Marley knew that this was for him.
So he did not hesitate, and the white airflow wrapped around his two arms, and these boulders were moved away like foam.
Before all the boulders were moved away, Marley smelled a bloody smell.
His face changed slightly, and he sped up.
In less than a moment, all the boulders were moved away.
"This body?"
Marley murmured, his voice trembling, and a few cold sweats appeared on his forehead.
You know, all the miners and supervisors in the mine area are registered, how could there be an extra body inexplicably.
And he was the only one in the entire South Mine who was responsible for registering these things.
No wizard apprentice was willing to do this slightly important job, and the formal knight was not qualified, so it naturally fell on him who was already a great knight.
He was sure that what he registered was correct, and he had just shown it to Aika.
But this scene at this moment made him doubt himself.
This was a real extra body, as if it appeared out of thin air.
Marley moved the body out and laid it flat on the ground, looking at the face of the body.
Then he found that the face of the body was already bloody and it was completely unrecognizable.
"Explain it."
Aika spoke softly, as if he had no emotions.
But Marley understood that this was a manifestation of Aika's anger, because he delayed Aika's precious time.
Marley's mind was in a mess, trying to think of a reasonable explanation, but the more he thought, the harder it was.
Seeing that Marley didn't speak, Aika looked away and looked at the body on the ground in front of him.
At this moment, Marley suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.
"I remember, but how could he die here!"
Although the face of the corpse was blurry, Marley still felt a sense of familiarity.
The sudden flash of inspiration just now reminded him of this person.
"Do you know this person?"
"This person seems to be a peripheral member of the organization. He was a supervisor in the mine before, but he left the mine a few days ago because he was unwell. Russ, yes, his name is Russ!"
Malai thought about it again and spoke with certainty.
This person was registered by himself, and it has only been a few days, so Marley naturally has an impression of him.
But the reason why Marley frowned and puzzled was that he clearly saw Russ leave, but why did he die in an abandoned mine in the end.
"Could it be someone else pretending to be him?"
Aika spoke up. He usually didn't stay in the mine, so he didn't know how detailed the registration of absenteeism and supervisors was.
But it was this sentence that broke Marley's inherent thoughts.
Someone else pretending to be him?
Malai carefully observed the bloody corpse in front of him again.
He came to a conclusion.
"The Russ who had left the mine was fake!"
