Lord of Arcane

Chapter 145 Invite again

In fact, Xia Duo's meaning is already very obvious. If there is no accident, the caster did it. How could ordinary people just cause such trauma——

The diaphragm inside the heart is broken!
Even Xia Duo had never thought of such a delicate killing technique before today.

Of course, Xia Duo couldn't judge whether or not Felbos was killed by a spell due to the previous inspection by a mage or a clergyman.

And based on this wound alone, Xia Duo couldn't even judge whether the damage was caused by toxins or spells, but one thing was certain, it was inseparable from the caster.

If Xia Duo can make such a conjecture, then Mrs. Patty can naturally do it too, but what can she do as an ordinary person?She grabbed Xia Duo and kept asking, "How did you cause the wound?"

This can no longer be described as a gaffe, it seems like crazy.

In this case, not to mention catching and killing the murderer, it is not easy to obtain the identity of the murderer.

Within the [sound-proof barrier], Mrs. Patty's voice would not be heard, but her actions could be seen by the servants as long as they turned their heads.

A young woman who has just become a widow is only holding the hand of an equally young mage, but there is no sound coming out, how can it not arouse other people's associations!
It doesn't matter to Xia Duo, but if Mrs. Patty refuses to pay because of this, he will be upset, and being held by a strange woman and crying, even if it is a beautiful woman, Xia Duo feels quite embarrassed.

Let her catch it again, will Xia Duo maintain the posture of a "big" mage!

He just pushed the woman lightly, but Mrs. Patty seemed to be shaken heavily. If Xia Duo hadn't pulled her, she would have been pushed out by Xia Duo.

"Mrs. Patty, do you want to end the task?"

"Master Xia Duo, I'm sorry, I—" The woman with the pear blossom and rain is always unbearable. Xia Duo is also an ordinary man, and he will make mistakes that all men will make.

But the husband's body was still in the room, and he had no more thoughts. What occupied his mind at the moment was the task, the reward, and the task indicators for completing the promotion authority as soon as possible.

"Mrs. Patty, please forgive me. I can't do anything to find the murderer. Please end the task as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll do it right now!" Mrs. Patty wiped her tears and apologized again, "I'm sorry! Please, Master Xiaduo, come downstairs."

Xia Duo canceled the [Soundproof Barrier] and walked out of the study, while Mrs. Patty followed closely behind Xia Duo.

……

"Humph--"

In the living room on the first floor, seeing Xia Duo appearing, Kaili, who was drinking tea, snorted coldly and turned his body sideways, not wanting to look at Xia Duo at all.

And Xia Duo didn't bother to pay attention to him, handed the task certificate to Mrs. Patty, found a seat and sat down, watching Patty swaying and walking to another room.

Only then did Xia Duo pick up the black hot drink brought by the servant, and sniffed it lightly. It smelled like tea, and judging by Master Kaili's expression as he drank the tea, it seemed to be quite delicious.

Xia Duo tentatively took a sip, and a fresh breath rushed straight to his forehead, just like taking a sip of iced Coke on a hot summer day.

The hot drink tastes like an iced cola!
After taking another sip, the breath turned mild again, and only then did he feel that it was really a hot drink. After savoring it carefully, Xia Duo tasted the taste of plants, but he didn't know what kind of plants it was.

Perhaps it is the so-called elf specialty.

Da da da--

Mrs. Patty came out with the mission voucher, Xia Duo swallowed the black hot drink in one gulp, stood up, and the smell of the hot drink lingered in his chest for a long time.

carefree!

The slight unhappiness of the autopsy just now was swept away in an instant, and then, he knew that there was something more enjoyable waiting for him.

"Master Xiaduo, this is the mission certificate."

Xia Duo took a look, and saw that Mrs. Patty's name had been signed on it, and there was a marked number - 400!

It was 250 gold coins more than the 150 gold coins negotiated before, and Xia Duo immediately felt that trouble was coming. As expected, Mrs. Patty wanted to invite him to continue the investigation.

"My lord, please help me!" Mrs. Patty spoke so earnestly that she was about to kneel in front of Carey.

But Xia Duo didn't want to continue anymore, because it was most likely useless, and he didn't have so much time to waste on it, so he quickly supported the woman, "Mrs. Patty, I've done everything I can do!"

But the movement of his reaching out his hand also showed that he was not as indifferent as he appeared on the outside. Mrs. Patty noticed it and immediately proposed to increase the reward, even if she couldn't find out the result, she would accept it.

This woman is crazy!This was Xia Duo's first reaction, how stupid is it to place hope on a stranger?
However, the increase in remuneration is still quite attractive to Xia Duo, especially Mrs. Patty suggested that there may not be any results, and such opportunities should be rare.

Just as he was about to agree, Carey, who was watching all this from the sidelines, suddenly called out, "Mrs. Patty, have you been tricked by this apprentice!"

At this moment, Carey was angry, unwilling, envious, and envious. Mrs. Patty actually put him aside as a formal mage, but showed great hospitality to an apprentice!
At this time, when he heard that he wanted to unconditionally increase Xia Duo's reward, he couldn't bear it anymore, "Xia Duo, I remembered, you are Xia Duo from the Arcane Garden, right? You think you can call yourself Mage? You are delusional!"

Kaili was already incoherent, he had already forgotten that even if Xia Duo was really just a sorcerer apprentice, or even just an ordinary person, a sudden blow to him would be enough to kill him.

His so-called master's class suppression of apprentices is not even a fart in Xia Duo's eyes.

What's more, Xia Duo is also an official mage, but he has not obtained the authority of the mage tower.

However, his words still had an impact on Mrs. Patty. Even though she was eager for revenge and still believed in Xia Duo, it did not prevent her from wanting to see more of Xia Duo's abilities.

The businessman's wife or lover, under the influence of her ears and eyes, also knows the role of waiting and watching. Before, it was only hatred and sadness that occupied her heart, but now someone else has taken action, and Mrs. Patty is silent.

And when seeing Mrs. Patty bowed her head in silence, Xia Duo suddenly remembered that Mrs. Patty acted the same way when Carey wanted him to get out of the way upstairs.

It was only because he was frightened by Kaili's dissection tools that he asked Xia Duo to check first.

Xia Duo even felt that once he left, the woman would immediately run upstairs to check for hidden compartments on the floor to verify Xia Duo's words.

Sure enough, it was not easy for this woman to make Felbers choose to leave his property to her instead of to his son before he died!
However, since Xia Duo is ready to agree, he can't let Kaili mess up, and neither can he!

"Mrs. Patty, I agree to your request, but now go upstairs and check the hidden compartment, maybe there may be some clues there."

Of course, Xia Duo didn't really want to find any clues when he said this, but he was just responding to Kaili's doubts. No matter how he called himself a mage, no matter how much he questioned that Xia Duo was inferior to him, if Xia Duo could find the hidden compartment, then the broken heart could also be justified.

Carey didn't understand what Xiaduo said, but Mrs. Patty knew very well that just upstairs, Xiaduo told him that there was a hidden compartment under the floor where the autopsy was performed before.

Being so confident caused Mrs. Patty's balance to shift again, but she didn't want to give up Kaili's possible help, so she took advantage of the opportunity to invite Kaili to go upstairs for an inspection.
