Pharmacist Irene continued, "We waited at the designated location. At the agreed time, we did not see the target of the mission. Gulram, Leon, and Gareth, who were on the mission together, can attest to this."

"I can prove it." Gurram crossed his arms and affirmed Irene's statement.

Leon still had his eyes wide open and didn't react, but Gareth, who was acting with him, nodded, confirming what Irene said.

The "contract of justice" was not touched, which also means that the other party did not lie.

This means that an accident occurred during the transmission process.

Fernando also spoke up, projecting his own layout onto the conference table, and said, "I can confirm that I did arrange the coordinates we set in advance. From the feedback parameters here, it can be seen that there is a long response wait before reaching the Wizard Association. At the same time, this piece of information is added to the returned record parameters."

"This information is the residual energy characteristics that different transmission nodes will be contaminated with. This characteristic is also very obvious. This kind of chaotic energy is only found here, in Abisovor. This also proves that during this transmission process, he did come here according to the predetermined plan."

Fernando talked a lot, and at the same time, a large amount of transmission data parameters were displayed on the conference table.

Li Daoxian also recorded the information, and when he compared it with the above information, he found that there was no discrepancy at all.

But Fernando was able to unravel the information and completely restore it, from the changes in the transmission runes, the influence of the entrained magic, and even the attenuation of the energy source, to multiple verifications, and fully reflected what happened in the entire transmission link.

Because every step of the inference has clear factual basis, Fernando's words are more true and credible.

After Fernando finished speaking, the contract was also not touched, which meant that his words were also true and credible.

Gurram frowned and asked, "Wait a minute, we haven't seen Visser here, but Fernando said that the transfer has been completed and he has indeed been here. Doesn't this contradict our content?"

He looked at Fernando with suspicion in his eyes, as if he thought that Fernando had concealed the contract in some way.

Li Daoxian looked at Gulram with his eyes narrowed slightly.

This guy acted completely stupid and dull, but because it was too obvious, Li Daoxian was not sure whether he was really brainless or just pretending to be stupid.

Berserkers are a type of wizard who specializes in blood and flesh. They take in large amounts of blood, and use potions and magic to sculpt themselves into a body that is like a war machine. They can withstand large amounts of super-limit potions and forbidden magic. Their combat effectiveness and destructive power are first-class, and they can handle both group and individual combat with ease.

It’s just because of the frequent overclocking, which has a great impact on the body and mind. Many Berserkers think more instinctively, so they will appear a little slow.

This was Li Daoxian's first time attending a plenary meeting, and he needed to have a general understanding of all members through this meeting.

After Gulram finished speaking, Irene comforted him softly and said, "Don't worry, Gulram, this is not a contradiction. If the transfer point is set in Abisowol, but it is not our intended destination, we can also achieve this goal."

Hearing this, the Great Killer snorted coldly: "Huh? Are you doubting us?"

Fernando looked normal and didn't react too much.

Irene shook her head. "I'm just saying it's possible. Similarly, there's also a possibility that during the transmission process, our transmission node was replaced by a virtual node, causing the transmission link to bypass us."

“That’s the one I think is most likely.”

"I just looked at the basic principles of the teleportation array. The application of virtual nodes is possible. Many temporary teleportation gates will use virtual nodes to communicate the transmission link. However, in order to achieve the effect of using virtual nodes to cover real nodes this time, the virtual nodes must be very close to us."

"Of course, this is what Mr. Fernando wants to express, am I right?"

Irene looked at Fernando.

Fernando nodded slightly. "That's right, but this is not the only possibility. We currently have limited clues, and there are too many possibilities. For example, the assassination was completed in the transmission link and misleading magic features were deliberately left, or the death state was delayed by using life-extending magic, and then the body was placed in the transmission link, but it was transferred randomly and then the body was thrown away, which can also achieve the same purpose."

"We did not examine Visser's body, so it is difficult to determine when Visser died."

Li Daoxian nodded slightly.

In the wizarding world, magic can make almost everything possible, so in a murder, there are too many possibilities because of the existence of magic.

Apart from anything else, if Li Daoxian could know in advance the transmission link that the other party would pass through, he could even ambush in the transmission link in advance like the murderer he had encountered before. Moreover, because of the special nature of Li Daoxian's body, he could even go deeper into the transmission link and wait.

Fernando continued, "However, we learned from the investigation of the on-site detectives that the other party was most likely killed by a curse. In this case, the murderer may not show up at all during the transmission process. We only need to control the time when the curse occurs to complete the murder."

As he spoke, Fernando also showed everyone what he saw at the scene and the information he learned from the detectives' investigation.

Seeing the appearance of the corpse, the members of the Emerald Thieves fell into deep thought.

Although the assassination had already taken place and had been widely reported in the media, almost no information about the situation at the scene had been revealed.

Irene looked up and thought, looking at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and asked her doubts: "If it is as Mr. Fernando said, there is a question. Since the other party has already killed Visser through the curse, why did they go to the trouble of changing the destination of the transfer?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just let the corpse appear in our lobby during the transfer, and then deliberately trigger the warning of the transmission link, so as to slander us?"

If that really happens, with the four members of the Emerald Thieves at the scene of the corpse, the suspicion on the Emerald Thieves will be impossible to clear, and the effect of the frame-up should be even better.

The illusionist Cotillard suddenly spoke up: "It is to reduce the risk."

"Although it would be better to throw the body to us, there are too many uncertainties."

"Even if it is a strong curse, as long as the wizard tries his best to delay it, the consciousness can still exist for a while. The transmission time is not long. We have a chance to rescue Visser."

"Even if we cannot save him and he is confirmed dead, we will immediately erase all traces before the people from the Wizarding Association react."

"If the body can't be found by then, Visser will naturally be treated as missing."

Upon hearing this, Irene immediately understood: "Indeed, now that the body has appeared in public at the Wizarding Association, and the members of the Emerald Thieves are lurking at the scene, this is enough in itself. And this blood curse, according to the speculation in the news, is also closely related to the Lord of the River, which has greatly increased our suspicion."

The Great Killer Lord then spoke up: "Excuse me, please call me the Great Killer Lord from now on. The Great Flow Lord has been replaced by me for some reason."

As soon as the news came out, the members at the conference table all turned their eyes to the big killer.

The expressions in everyone's eyes were different, some were curious, some were confused... Da Liuzhu himself was a member of the so-called "inner circle" of the Emerald Thieves and had been active in the Emerald Thieves for a long time. It was hard to believe that such a person was replaced so quietly.

Although it is suspected that the one who replaced him was his other personality.

The Great Killer ignored these glances and continued:

"As for the blood curse, it is indeed related to the Great Flow Master. I could feel the connection between the blood curse and myself when I was at the scene."

"I may need to go check what's going on... If I can examine the body carefully, I should be able to make a more accurate discovery."

Cyrus, who was sitting high up at the conference table, suddenly spoke up: "I will explain this matter clearly to the Wizarding Association. If there is a chance later, we should be able to check the body."

"After all, we and the Wizard Association are both victims. Some people want to sow discord between us and the Wizard Association, but we will not do as they wish."

Fernando looked at Cyrus at this time and asked, "Has the captain tried divination? Are there any clues?"

Cyrus himself is proficient in divination. Not only is he skilled in common divination methods, he is also the inheritor of the gem witchcraft system. He uses various gems to enhance inspiration and strengthen divination, and he is also an expert in this lineage.

In the wizarding world, finding a murderer does not necessarily require looking for clues step by step and reasoning layer by layer. If you can directly copy the answer through divination, it is also a way.

The Emerald Thieves are not official, they don't need to convince the people, they need to have a goal.

Cyrus shook his head. "I did some divination, but it was very confusing. The result was greatly disturbed. Either the Rule Wizard obscured the matter itself, or this matter involved too many things. In short, countless futures gathered here, completely disturbing the past."

Fernando nodded and said nothing more.

Obviously, copying the answers directly would not work. But this was normal. It would be strange if such an important matter as assassinating a member of the Wizarding Association did not interfere with the divination.

At this moment, Andre, who had been flipping through the information in front of him, asked, "If Visser died from the blood curse, then he should have been able to feel it before the curse broke out. Is there a possibility that he was naked and carved the emblem on his body just to leave clues?"

Irene also carefully examined the body: "Obsidian, Blue Silver, Icefield... these are the extreme right wing of the Wizard Association and the core forces of the Wizard Noble Council. Are you trying to say that the body left these clues to indicate that the murderer is from the extreme right wing?"

At this point, Irene shook her head again: "It's unlikely. As an assassin, the murderer must be aware of the curse and would not leave any clues for the deceased to identify him. Even if there are clues left by the deceased, I don't think they are credible. It is very likely that they were left intentionally after being misled."

Andre thought what Irene said made sense, but he still said, "What if the other party took advantage of everyone's thinking and thought the murderer would not leave any clues, so he left them there on purpose?"

Indeed, it is not impossible.

For a moment, the scene became quiet, and everyone was looking through the information.

After a while, Cyrus knocked on the table and said, "We need to find the real murderer, so next, everyone should take action and collect clues."

"Fernando, you and the Great Flow Master go to the previous transmission node and confirm whether Visser really stopped there. Also confirm whether there are any virtual nodes nearby."

"Sinclair, your partner is Andre. From now on, he will be the one to protect your safety. This time, you two will continue to follow Fernando. Do you understand?"

Li Daoxian and Andre nodded together.

Li Daoxian looked at Andre across the table and understood that the missions were carried out in groups of two.

The five people on the left are more inclined towards combat, while the five people on the right are more inclined towards logistics and academics. All wizards in corresponding seats are partners with each other.

The "deceiver" Celine and the "illusionist" Cotillard did not speak much in this meeting.

Fernando and the Big Killer, whom I had already met.

"Berserker" Gurram and "Pharmacist" Irene. No wonder it was Irene who comforted him when Gurgam questioned him before. It seems that Gurram needs to use forbidden drugs and forbidden techniques frequently in battle, which is extremely risky. He and the pharmacist Irene can cooperate perfectly, whether it is recovery or medicine making.

It is also easy for the "Poison Master" Leon and the "Mechanic" Gareth to work together. The Mechanic is immune to most toxins, and the Poison Master has many large-scale unsolvable toxins, so they can perform better.

And finally... your own partner this time, Andre the Fire-Eater.

According to the information, he has not been a member for long.

He was originally a partner with Robin, but at that time Robin had already established his own organization and preferred to be alone, spending most of his time in his office. Andre was still immature, so rather than being Robin's partner, he was more like a student taught by Robin.

After Robin's death, Andre took it upon himself to retaliate against the Shadow Thieves Guild and the Dark Box Organization several times. Unfortunately, this kind of revenge could not revive the Robin Organization, nor could it completely eradicate the Dark Box and the Shadow Thieves Guild.

Later he went out on a mission and came back not long ago.

At this moment, Andre was also looking at Hinckley, the successor of the Mockingbird. At the same time, he also heard that Hinckley had renamed the original Mockingbird District to the Snake District, and his nickname was still Snake Head.
