Warlord: King of All Clans

As the young blood mage died, the blood servants who were still struggling to string the crossbows suddenly lost their strength and fell to the ground.

These victims of the blood-dominated spell are merely the lowest-level blood servants, with stiff movements and slow actions.

The only advantage he had was his increased vitality. Even though he was blown down by Leo's iron grenade, covered in blood and with several broken bones, he was still able to control the heavy crossbow.

The iron grenade that Leo can use as a weapon is also not a crudely made product of the Kobolds, but a high-end product from the Mage Tower.

It is powerful and has been verified as safe by Master Morse.

If it was just Fraser's invention, Leo wouldn't dare to use it casually.

After the short battle, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the fat businessman who was still howling.

Tearing a few pieces of cloth from the corpse beside him to stop the blood spraying from his severed hands, Leo said regretfully: "I hope you know something."

The one who should have been captured alive should have been the blood mage, but both of them were unfamiliar with the strange blood magic, so they simply killed him.

If it was an ordinary low-level elemental mage, Leo would be willing to take two fireballs.

Norin next to him said, "Leo, leave the rest to me. The affairs of the imperial capital can be handled better by the Rose Knights."

Leo could only nod and find the blood mage who was suspected of assassinating the princess. Following this line of thought, the royal family could take the opportunity to clean up the conspiracy forces in the imperial capital and make the living environment of the little mouse a little more relaxed.

This was his original intention. There was no need to get deeply involved in it.

Norin was obviously carrying some communication device. She lowered her head and fiddled with it for a while. In just two minutes, there was a noise outside. A team of palace guards appeared and surrounded the villa. Several Rose Knights under Norin walked in.

"Take this man back and interrogate him strictly. Seal up everything in the small building and check it carefully. Don't miss any clues."

"yes."

After leaving the small building, Leo saw Ostara raising one hand, as if holding an imaginary kite.

But her expression was more like she had caught a big fish.

Leo couldn't help but ask: "My Queen? Do you have any clues?"

Ostara held the magic red line and flicked her fingertips on it. "Yes, the one in the imperial capital is just a small fish. The big fish is still behind, but it's too far away."

Leo tried hard to sense the magic power, but could not feel any fluctuations in Ostara's hands.

After being promoted to the intermediate level, physical extraordinary people can begin to actively use magic power, and their ability to perceive magic power is also greatly improved.

Now that he is walking on the road, he can basically sense the fluctuations of magic power within ten meters and judge whether the target is a transcendent person.

But blood magic is a new type of magic, just like light beyond visible light and smells beyond the sense of smell. Although we already know that they exist, no matter how hard we try, we cannot perceive them.

The human race's magic system was not mature from birth, but was gradually expanded over the past ten thousand years.

The original primitive tribes were the same as the current wilderness tribes. After awakening naturally, they could simply use magic power to transform into elements such as fire, ice, etc.

Later, holy light, shadow, etc. were discovered, and now there are even more diverse things.

But the blood clan magic from ten thousand years ago has not yet appeared in the world and exists beyond human perception.

This is the horror of blood magic. People never know when they will be hit.

Leo looked at Denise next to him, who looked at him and shook her head.

She was a low-level mage, with a better control over magic than Leo, but she was equally undetectable.

While the boss was there, Leo took the opportunity to encourage, "What kind of blood magic is this? It sounds very evil. We must eradicate it!"

Ostara didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the human race. After hearing what Leo said, she hesitated and retorted, "You can't say that evil is evil. The blood race has used it for 10,000 years and they haven't called it evil."

Leo questioned: "Why are the vampires gone?"

Ostara was stumped by the question and finally made up her mind, "Then I'll go over and take a look!"

As she spoke, she held the red string in one hand and drew a circle in the air with the other hand. A green vortex gradually took shape, and then formed a light gate.

The Elf Queen Ostara crossed thousands of miles and arrived in the eastern part of the North.

Six was about to follow, but was picked up by Leo.

"Let's go play cards."

With Ostara gone, it is estimated that there will be another great battle among the Saints. It would be better for small fry like them to stay in the imperial capital and wait for news.

After returning to the palace with Denise and Six and playing cards with the little mouse for a while, Noreen came back from outside.

She said to Leo, "The guy who was captured was from an organization called Crimson Moon. The strong man you beheaded and the dead blood mage were all members of this organization."

"This is a new religious organization that can be traced back to less than fifty years ago. They have always been very abiding by the rules. I didn't expect that they were the mastermind behind the assassination of the princess."

The imperial capital is the royal family’s base, so they still have basic control. Almost all of these messy underground organizations are being watched by someone.

Norin's expression became a little serious. "If you don't check, you won't know. The Crimson Moon is just a branch in the imperial capital. Its influence has spread all over the southern border. Almost all the major earldoms have members of the Crimson Moon."

"The members of Crimson Moon worship the red moon and practice strange witchcraft, that is, blood magic. They are defined as heretics by the Church of Holy Light, so they go underground. In a city like the Imperial Capital shrouded in holy light, their ability to move around is very limited. This is the first time I've heard of them."

"I didn't expect that someone would dare to sneak into the palace and assassinate the princess."

Leo's reaction was calm. "When troubled times come, all kinds of monsters will appear. Things like cults will eventually come."

Denise, who was standing by, was invited and had the honor of playing cards at the same table with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Only now did she feel a little less restrained.

She was horrified when she heard this. "It's too scary. I don't even dare to go out and take risks. I'd better stay at home and write novels."

Her first dream was to become a great adventurer, and writing was only her second interest.

But these years were full of war and it was not easy to be an adventurer. Denise could only go out a few times a year. Apart from work, she could only rely on writing novels to satisfy her fantasies.

During this period, I drank a lot of tea with Leo, chatted about some stories about the river bend, and had new inspiration.

In addition to her research on the use of lead in the empire, she also wrote a new book called "Snow White and the Seven Little Dog-Headed Men"!

The imperial princess Gulveg was also very optimistic about this book and personally provided her with a lot of materials.

Ostara had been missing for three days, and Leo was beginning to worry about her safety.

He was just thinking about whether he should contact Master Bobak to report to him the whereabouts of the Elf Queen when the halo in front of the Riverbend House began to ripple.

Ostara finally came back, carrying a huge sarcophagus on her slender shoulders.
