Eric is a war wizard. The reason why he can rise step by step is, like many wizards, because he has reverence for this profession.

War wizards have the highest requirements and the best treatment, but they also shoulder the most important responsibilities - to protect the world and to plunder the world.

But now, the statement of the counterfeit in front of him is equivalent to directly denying this point.

The fake Eric said, "No one cares about this, Eric. You have had this confusion for a long time. Why do you feel so disgusted when I tell you the answer?"

"Our duty has never been to protect, but to execute orders. Our purpose is not to protect, but to strengthen ourselves. These two purposes have never conflicted."

"If I had taken over earlier, you wouldn't have been sent to the Supervisory Office."

"This is a place where if we don't produce results, there will naturally be more wizards who want to improve to take our place."

Eric's head was in a mess.

He instinctively felt that what the fake Eric said was wrong, that it was influencing him and changing his cognition. However, when he took this information into consideration and thought back to what had happened before, it actually made sense.

At all times, war wizards must ensure their own safety...

During the mission, any behavior that hinders the mission is prohibited. The mission is above everything else...

Wasn't he sent here because he tried to save his teammates and failed the mission? But the teammates he saved not only didn't thank him, but even blamed him. The mission failed and all their preparations were wasted.

The fake Eric smiled and said, "It seems that you have thought it through. But it doesn't matter. In the next period of time, you just need to rely on my performance. You just need to cooperate with me and I will be able to put you back to your original position."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to cooperate. I have plenty of time anyway. But I advise you not to hold us back."

Eric said helplessly: "I am in this state now, how can anything affect you?"

……

Li Daoxian and his three companions returned to the base of the Emerald Thieves.

Prior to this, Fernando had already informed Cyrus of the situation on their side. Cyrus did not say much, but just whispered that he knew. Then, he began to issue a statement, contacted familiar media, and started to confront the Wizards Association.

In the eyes of many people, confronting the Wizarding Association is a very unwise move, especially since the Wizarding Association is the top management organization in the wizarding world, and the Emerald Thieves is just a criminal organization.

The difference between the two is huge.

But for Cyrus, this is not a big deal. The larger the organization, the more complicated the interest groups within it.

The Wizarding Association has never been a monolithic entity. Even if they want to target them, they won't achieve their goal so quickly.

And there is a saying that goes, a person's level is often reflected through his opponents.

With the help of the Wizarding Association, the Emerald Thieves not only reversed public opinion through this statement, forcing the Wizarding Association to issue a self-examination, but also used this incident to greatly increase their reputation.

The Emerald Thieves already had a good reputation, and this time even more people got to know the Emerald Thieves.

Many of the previous cooperative activities were not only not affected, but the cooperation became even closer. There were even quite a few private magic academies that publicly expressed their intention to invite the Emerald Thieves to give speeches or even teach at their academies.

This incredible thing actually happened.

Li Daoxian received a notice from Cyrus on his way back.

[It's settled. Please come to the meeting room. We can leave at any time.]

So after arriving at the headquarters, the four of them went to the conference room together.

Li Daoxian walked in the corridor and said to Fernando beside him: "The news should refer to going to the scene to identify the body."

"I didn't expect that the leader would have communicated with the Wizarding Association so quickly, especially since we just..."

Fernando didn't care: "Those you killed all deserved it, so just kill them. For this kind of thing, the Wizard Association should thank us."

"Cyrus has a very good relationship with a group in the Wizarding Association, so it's not surprising that they were able to communicate."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the meeting room.

Cyrus was already waiting inside, and the other members were here too.

Seeing Li Daoxian and others pushing the door open, Cyrus said, "Everyone is here. Let's set off immediately. We must be quick in this operation. We only have one hour. If we exceed this time, we will be in trouble."

As Cyrus finished speaking, the surrounding environment changed.

In the conference room, countless runes flashed and appeared, and there was actually a teleportation array in the conference room.

After everyone was ready, the teleportation array instantly started teleporting according to the predetermined coordinates.

The scene around you changes.

Li Daoxian keenly noticed that this time the transmission link was a dedicated transmission link, which was not only fast but also had top-notch defense measures throughout the entire process.

As they were wrapped in deep green flames, they flew quickly across the transmission link and would soon reach their destination.

Li Daoxian discovered their destination through the trajectory of their departure, which was the Wanxiang City Wizard Association.

Just as he was thinking this, they had arrived.

They emerged into a closed room.

This room was not unfamiliar, and it was very similar to the room that Li Daoxian and others sneaked into last time.

However, this time, the room has been strictly sealed off. With just a cursory glance, one can see that there are a large number of powerful barriers and anti-magic fields around it, as well as agents who are watching closely.

The moment he left the teleportation array, Li Daoxian felt as if he was carrying thick shackles on his body, and even the space nearby became as heavy as a substance.

It seems that a very strong space anchor was released to stabilize the space.

Even though Li Daoxian was prepared, he still had some doubts in his heart.

Although the Wizard Association said it would conduct a self-investigation, the wanted order that had been issued had not been revoked. They were now the main suspects in the assassination of Visser. Would it really be okay for them to go directly to the Wizard Association now? Li Daoxian was not the only one who had this idea. Celine also frowned, brushed her shoulders, and said softly, "Cyrus, are you sure you have discussed it? If the other party has ill intentions towards us now, it may be a bit tricky."

Cyrus was very calm, his expression did not change, he just said: "Don't worry, this matter was discussed with me by the president of the Wanxiang City Wizard Association, he is enough to represent the attitude of the Wizard Association now."

"Now that public pressure is so great and the situation is unclear, they can't act rashly."

"Besides, this was not done by us in the first place. Cooperating with us is the best option. We can find the person who framed us, and they can find the murderer. It is a win-win situation for both sides."

No one wants to be used as a gun or manipulated like a chess piece.

Seeing that the team leader was so confident, no one else said anything.

The director of the Security Investigation Department and the director of the Inspectorate came up to Cyrus.

The two men looked serious. The director of the Security Investigation Department said, "Cyrus from the Emerald Thieves? The body is in the other room. That's also the crime scene. Come with me. I'll take you there."

Cyrus nodded and followed the minister in front of him, and asked at the same time: "Where is the president?"

The minister sneered: "The minister has other things to do and has no time to come here, so he specially appointed me to come here to pick you up."

Cyrus frowned, but didn't say anything more. He just nodded and said, "In that case, let's go."

The members of the Emerald Thieves were walking, and the agents beside them followed them. At the same time, they kept a vigilant eye on the members, especially Li Daoxian, who was frequently noticed.

Obviously, after extensive media coverage, everyone knew that this new member of the Emerald Thieves had just slaughtered eleven agents not long ago, but now appeared in front of the agents safe and sound.

After walking out of the teleportation room, the members found that their range of activities had been restricted. Outside the room, there were war wizards from the War Department supervising on the scene.

Every move of the members is watched by the people around them.

Arriving at the door of the crime scene, the minister extended his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "I don't know how you communicated with the president, but anyway, you have one hour to find evidence that you are not guilty."

"Don't do anything to disrupt the scene or make any sensitive moves. Everyone is watching."

This is a very impolite statement.

Cyrus looked at him deeply, then said calmly: "I will tell your president about what you said. I wonder what he will think of it."

"Whatever you want." The minister didn't care.

Even his facial expression did not change, instead he said: "You now have fifty-nine minutes."

Cyrus didn't waste any more words and said to all the members through the contract: "Start checking. If you find anything, you can synchronize it at any time through the contract connection."

The members behind him took action. They dispersed and walked into the room. Some chose to go to the teleportation array, while others went to the corpse that had been placed in a special container.

Li Daoxian and Fernando went to the corpse together. They had already recorded the data of the transmission link when they left. Many of the parameters were even set by them and did not need to be checked first.

But the body is the most important clue and they need to check it first.

I just don't know how much evidence is left after the body has been examined by layers of people.

Li Daoxian approached the corpse and began to use his consciousness to explore the body for clues. The situation was indeed as he thought. Because it had been examined too many times, a lot of information on the body had become invalid.

Fernando said with some regret:

"The body is very clean. The remaining soul and memory fragments have been extracted. There are traces of soul searching here."

"The marks on the surface of the skin are also somewhat incomplete. It should be that after recording the rubbing, some materials were extracted for analysis."

"I've tested it too many times. The magic power inside the corpse is in disarray. It's hard to find any traces left."

"Unfortunately, it's probably hard to find any useful clues now."

"I can only try to extract the blood curse from my body, but without the soul fragments, it is difficult to determine the effect of the curse..."

As he spoke, Fernando skillfully took out an instrument similar to a syringe.

It is about half a meter long, made mainly of black metal, with silver magic lines all over the surface, emitting a faint bluish-purple light, and there is a transparent crystal chamber in the center.

It should be a blood extractor, which is used to extract trace amounts of materials for analysis without destroying the stability of tissue structure.

Normally, however, there would be two metal detection branches on both sides of the instrument, using the absorbency of the obsidian crystal on the top to capture subtle fluctuations.

However, the one in Fernando's hand did not have any metal detection features. The runes that appeared on Fernando's palm were integrated into the instrument. A large number of complex runes were spliced ​​together to form a probe.

Obviously, the instrument in front of us is the version modified by Fernando.

The rune penetrated the corpse easily with almost no effect, just like a shadow passing through. The next moment, a large amount of blood-red viscous liquid began to emerge from the crystal chamber of the instrument.

On the crystal display at the back of the instrument, a spiral mesh-like curse structure diagram was clearly generated.

Each layer has a different color, representing the magic strength, the source of the curse frequency, and the residual breath.

The color depth of the image represents the strength of magic. The blue-purple and black-red areas are the main source of power of the curse, and the smaller networks are the residual aura.

The residual breath here could be from the recipient or the caster.

"After such a long time, the curse is still very active, with an energy level exceeding ten thousand degrees. The curse structure is extremely oppressive, and the internal magic power is running stably, which shows that the caster has extremely deep magic reserves."

"Blood curse, with extremely strong aggression and destructiveness, can cause oppressive mental shock under certain circumstances."

"Look at the grid at the bottom, Tier 5-6, where dense black and red stripes appear. This means that the curse has a soul-corroding effect."

"The curse energy diffusion rate is between 2.4-3.0, far exceeding the 0.8 range of ordinary curses, which means that the curse spreads very quickly and will cause continuous damage."

"However, there is one thing that is quite strange. The degree of magic crystallization is as high as 80%, which is not found in ordinary curses. This means that when the curse is cast, it enters the body of the deceased in the form of concentrated or semi-solid magic crystals."

As Fernando spoke, he slowly turned his gaze towards the Great Killer.

"This level of crystallinity is difficult to achieve with the previous curse items alone. This feature is more like the blood mist state containing the blood plague in the domain state."
