"What is the Taminke arrangement?" Although Merkel was able to understand part of the conversation between Leo and Delkan and knew that the mayor who died in the first place was an imposter and came from the northern snowfield, he still had

I didn’t understand a lot of the content at all, so I couldn’t help but ask.

However, upon hearing Merkel's inquiry, the scholars looked at Merkel with contempt, as if they were saying that they didn't even know this.

However, Leo behaved very naturally, without any emotion, as if he was casually answering a passerby's inquiry, and explained: "The Tamingk arrangement is a very unique arrangement of ancient idioms. They are only used in

It is popular in the northern snowfield countries, and the users are also some primitive believers. These primitive believers have different inheritances. Some are good at using ancient exotic scripts to create guardian sacred objects, and some are very good at curses and other magical arts."

Merkel seemed to understand and elaborated: "You mean that the fake Mayor Jason was a primitive believer from the northern snowfield countries, and the person who killed him was also a primitive believer from the northern snowfields.

By."

"It can only be said that it is possible." Leo did not give a positive answer, and then asked: "Is the body of Mayor Jason still there?"

"Still, according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Aden, any public official who dies in office must be buried on the spot. The tomb of Mayor Jason is in the town cemetery." A member of the investigation team also seemed to be disturbed.

As if affected, he vaguely regarded Leo as his superior. When Leo asked, he immediately answered, and added: "If you want to see the body of Mayor Jason, I'm afraid it will be difficult. That

Mayor Jason collapsed in the fireplace in his bedroom when he died. When he was found the next day, his upper body was burned, and only his legs were intact in his lower body. We and the people from the church conducted an autopsy on this body.

, and didn’t find anything useful.”

Some scholars mocked at this time: "Just because you haven't discovered anything useful doesn't mean that others can't discover it. Don't forget, you haven't discovered that Mayor Jason might be a fake before."

Hearing the scholar's mocking words, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, and then looked back and forth between the scholar and the investigation team members thoughtfully.

They found that the academics in the city not only seemed to despise the people of the investigation team in terms of knowledge, but also had an emotional hostility, and seemed to dislike the people of the investigation team from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the people in the investigation team seemed to be used to the hostility of the scholars. They just frowned in displeasure and did not talk back. Merkel also extended an invitation to Leo on behalf of the three of them, expressing the hope that Leo could help.

They investigated this incident and were willing to cooperate as assistants. Their posture was very low, so low that even those scholars who knew the investigation team were a little surprised.

Leo nodded and responded: "We, as a couple, are willing to help, but we can't guarantee that we can help you investigate the truth."

Afterwards, they asked the investigation team to take them to the cemetery to dig out the body of Mayor Jason who had been buried not long ago. The scholars in the school city were also curious about the subsequent development and all agreed to go together.

So, a group of people rushed to the cemetery.

The investigation team quickly found the location of Mayor Jason's cemetery, and then asked the cemetery guard to lead a few people to dig out the mayor's coffin again.

The cemetery guard was also a little impatient with the investigation team's request, because he had dug up corpses three times before, so in his opinion, the people in the investigation team were just messing around.

However, even though he was very dissatisfied, the cemetery guard still did not dare to disobey the order of the investigation team, and honestly led a few people to dig out Mayor Jason's coffin again.

After the coffin was dug out, Leo did not ask anyone to carry the coffin to a quiet place for inspection. Instead, he directly asked the investigation team to open the coffin.

As the coffin lid was opened, a corpse smell came out. The people in the investigation team had long been accustomed to this smell and did not show any discomfort. Among the scholars, except for some scholars who studied medicine and anatomy, others

They couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses, and instead of looking curiously into the coffin, they took a few steps back to a place where the air was a little fresher.

Leo and Sylvia both walked to the coffin with calm faces and looked at the body inside. As the investigation team said, most of the body inside was burnt, and only the legs remained intact and intact.

There are obvious traces of dissection on the legs, and even the remnants of holy oil can be seen. It should be that the True God Church tried to use some kind of tracking magic to investigate the source of the curse, but unfortunately it failed in the end.

However, Leo and Sylvia's perception ability is definitely not comparable to the tracking magic used by the clergy. The moment they saw the corpse, they felt the curse power emanating from the corpse. This power was very weak.

But it is durable and seems to originate from the corpse itself.

"Did you do the dissection of the feet?" Sylvia suddenly asked the people in the investigation team.

"Yes, we did it." Merkel responded on behalf of the three of them, but his attitude was very humble, showing a stronger awe than when he faced Leo just now, even when he answered

He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Sylvia.

Both Leo and Sylvia were aware of Merkel's attitude. They felt that Merkel's behavior was not only due to Sylvia's stronger power as a superior, but also for other reasons.

.

However, now is not a good time to explore the reason. Sylvia did not show any abnormality. Instead, she accepted Merkel's seemingly excessive awe very calmly and continued: "Why do you only do two-foot solution?"

Planing, don’t plan the upper body?”

Hearing Sylvia's question, the people in the investigation team couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Because when they dissected the feet, they couldn't find any clues at all. They looked for things to do randomly. No matter whether it was before, during, or after the dissection, they didn't think about what they would find out.

Useful clues.

After all, before they took action on the corpse, the church had already used various methods to examine the corpse. Even if there were any clues, the church should have discovered it long ago, or it might have been destroyed by the church long ago. Their dissection behavior was more like

It is a routine behavior full of perfunctory taste.

At this time, Leo had already asked the cemetery guard to carry out the body and put it on the stone slab aside. Then he took out a set of simple dissection tools and began to dissect the body in full view of the public. It was just that he dissected the body.

The location was not the feet, but the burnt upper body.

I saw that he was very skillful in completely disassembling the burnt muscles and internal organs of the upper body and putting them aside, leaving only a complete skeleton in the end.

At this time, the people present also discovered something was wrong, because judging from the degree of burning of the upper body of the body, the skeleton of the corpse should also have burnt marks, and then the skeleton they saw was a normal skeleton.

There are no signs of being burned.

"What's going on?" Merkel, who had been standing by the side, was also surprised when she saw this scene. She also let go of her hand covering her nose, completely forgetting the smell of corpses around her.

Leo did not answer, but asked the cemetery guard to pile up a pyre aside. He then signaled the investigation team to pick out the skeleton, place it on the pyre, and light the pyre.

Although the people in the investigation team didn't understand why Leo did this, they still followed Leo's instructions.

When the pyre was ignited and the burning flames repeatedly passed through the skeletons in the pyre, everyone present couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, because they saw some blood-red characters appearing where the skeletons were burned by the flames.

"It's an ancient variant text, a complete system of ancient variant texts." Delkan immediately recognized the origin of those characters, and immediately took out his notepad and quickly recorded the symbols he saw, while several other characters

Each scholar who studies linguistics also took out his notebook and took notes quickly.

The people in the investigation team really wanted to stop the scholars from recording characters, because these characters involved extremely evil supernatural powers and should not be touched by ordinary people, but in the end they did not speak because they knew very well that even if they spoke, these scholars would not

Granted, when the time comes, it will actually cause some unnecessary conflicts.

"Mr. Leo, what's going on?" Merkel walked to Leo and asked.

"This Mayor Jason has been made into a cursed artifact," Leo analyzed seriously: "I guess the original purpose of the curser was to use this method to curse someone who is close to Mayor Jason.

But I don’t know why the direction of the curse seemed to be disturbed, and eventually it turned into a curse on all the people who became the mayor of Dashu Town and their relatives and friends.”

At this time, Sylvia suddenly said: "I remember that there is a book introducing the customs of Dashu Town in the study room of the mayor's residence. It mentioned in it that the mayor of Dashu Town who died during his term of office would perform some kind of ceremony.

Let his heroic spirit become the guardian of the town. When Mayor Jason passed away, did the town perform a similar ceremony?"

Merkel immediately replied: "It was done, and it was very grand. Mayor Jason has done a lot of good things for Dashu Town during his term of office. He is very respected by the residents of Dashu Town, so he also got the permanent mayor."

"The title of mayor." As he spoke, he showed a look of surprise and said: "Is it because of this ceremony and title that the direction of the curse has changed and it has become all the people who become the mayor?"

Leo didn't answer, and he didn't need to answer. He packed up his tools, and then told the investigation team that if they had any questions, they could come to the hotel where they were staying. He then expressed to the scholars that he hoped to come if he had time.

After visiting them and continuing to exchange knowledge on various subjects, Sylvia and I left the cemetery.

The surrounding scholars did not leave immediately. They were still recording the complex patterns on the skeleton. The three members of the investigation team looked at each other with a little smile on their faces. For them, although this investigation mission was not complete yet,

Completed, but at least half of it has been completed, and the anxiety accumulated over the past few months has dissipated, especially since Merkel has completely relaxed, and he no longer has to worry about failing the promotion mission.

"Do you think the person who cursed can still be caught?" Sylvia asked curiously when returning to the hotel.

"I don't know about this. After all, it's been a few months. I'm afraid that person has cleaned up all the clues and hidden himself." Leo used his spiritual power to clean up the dirt on his body, and then thought again.

He thought and said: "However, the church's control over the Old Continent is very strong. Even in the past few months, it is not impossible to catch that person. We can also take this opportunity to see what these True God Church's control is.

How strong is the control of the Old World?"

Sylvia also nodded, agreeing with Leo's view, and then said: "Have you ever felt that the closer you are to the center of the continent, the stronger the power of the divine law, and the greater the extraordinary power under the law?

Active. In Cape Guia Port, we encountered less than five incidents involving extraordinary powers in total, but on the way here, we encountered more than twenty incidents with extraordinary powers, and this time

It is also directly targeting public officials of a country. It seems that we will see more interesting supernatural powers."

"Interesting?" Leo looked at Sylvia and said, "Your emotions..."

"No, I have not been affected by blood." Sylvia interrupted Leo's inquiry and said: "I just feel that my mentality has become younger, and my soul is undergoing some kind of transformation. I feel that my soul is waiting for transformation.

When completed, you should be able to fully master all powers."

Leo didn't give any suggestions after hearing this, because Sylvia has now surpassed Leo in terms of life form, and there is no record in his database of what needs to be done after the life form evolves to this level.

Although he has a complete psyker heritage, it is only for psykers. If it is applied to Sylvia, it may have the opposite effect.

Therefore, Leo rarely gives Sylvia any advice now. He is more of an observer who always reminds Sylvia that she needs to control herself. At the same time, he also prepares a lot of spiritual wizard potions, because he has evolved to

After this level, the strength of the body is no longer the end, the strength of the mind and spirit is what needs to be valued.

After the two returned to the hotel where they were staying, Penny and Joan had already returned to the hotel. Although they had found various rumors and information about the curse of the mayor of Dashu Town, they were of no use now.

However, the information they gathered was of no use at all, because they found out that in another village near Dashu Town, there was a member of the Theresa Kingdom's Investigation Bureau investigating another incident involving supernatural power.

When people who had seen this member of the Investigation Bureau described this person's appearance and clothing, they mentioned that there was an eye-catching badge on the hilt of this man's sword, and the appearance of this badge was described by Joan

After coming out, Sylvia immediately determined that the emblem was a variant of the Belmont family emblem.
