Lin En did not easily believe the other party's words, but questioned every detail of the action, asking Nur to tell everything he had done in the past few days from beginning to end, and finally breaking it down and questioning him one by one. If there was any hesitation or inconsistency, he would chop him with the hot sword.

The sword cut through the flesh, and the blood was coagulated by the high temperature of hundreds of degrees before it could flow out. Experiencing such a sour and refreshing feeling, no matter how smart a person is, he would not be able to make up a perfect lie in this situation.

By the time Lin En had finished questioning, Noor had been stabbed seventeen times. He looked a little confused and had reached the point where he knew everything. Sometimes, in order to avoid being stabbed, he even learned to answer quickly.

Looking at Nur's face covered with snot and tears, and his appearance on the verge of mental breakdown, Lin En was quite helpless. Wouldn't it be enough for him to just tell the truth from the beginning?

He had to tell lies like this, forcing him to resort to some unconventional means.

For Lin En, who is not very good at psychological warfare, the only way to confirm the truth is to use such a stupid method.

"Is the bounty still there?" Lin En asked again.

A full five hundred magic gold coins would probably arouse the greed of many people.

Lin En was not worried about his own safety. After all, he usually stayed in Yieta College and was still a three-ring wizard on the surface. No one should have the courage to rush in and cause trouble. But it was different for Lydia and other halflings...

"No, the reward has been withdrawn..." Nur replied tremblingly.

"What's the reason?" Lin En was a little surprised.

Didn’t the operation to capture Ralph fail?

Could it be that the other party has given up completely?

Lin En held the tempered sword in his hand and swung it continuously. The scalding hot sword blade made Nur's heart, which had been hanging in the air, rise to his throat again.

"I don't know, I just heard... I heard that Lord Ladakh has obtained some construction drawings of the airship from other places..." Nur responded hurriedly, fearing that he would be chopped down by another sword if he was a step slower.

It was because of this that he was not treated as waste by Lord Ladakh because of this failed operation.

Lin En's brows suddenly frowned. "Are you sure?"

Apart from Ralph, the only halflings who had actually seen the drawings were Darren and Lydia. If it wasn't necessary, Lynn was not willing to doubt them.

Of course, Lin En also knew that whether there would be betrayal sometimes depended on whether the price was high enough. Five hundred magic gold coins was not a small amount.

This was also the reason why he had deliberately used the account book to test those halflings before.

"Probably... should..." Nur's expression became a little hesitant, but facing Lin En with the sword raised in his hand, he spoke very quickly.

"No, I am sure of it, absolutely sure!"

Chapter 90: Bloody Letter

The sword in Lin En's hand finally hovered in the air, because Nur's words were not difficult to confirm. He only needed to let Lord ask those [whistles] again to know whether the bounty order had been withdrawn.

In other words, the people inside Bloody Thorn may have already understood how to make an airship, but I don't know if they have confirmed that this thing is suspended by the gas inside the airbag, which has a lower density than air.

It seems easy to find this out, but the mainstream theory of flight in the wizarding land is to rely on thrust to take off, or to use shaping magic to imitate bird flight.

Although wizards of the elemental school had discovered the existence of these elements long ago, the buoyancy of gases such as hydrogen, helium, neon, and ammonia is very weak when taken individually.

For example, if you want to lift a person up, you must maintain a hydrogen cloud of more than 60 cubic meters around the body at all times. The amount of magic power consumed is incalculable. It is estimated that no wizard would consider flying in this way.

It is precisely because of this that after the flight experiment a few days ago, there were even rumors that he installed some kind of alchemical instrument under the airship cabin to provide uninterrupted lift.

However, such misleading information will not last long. After all, the huge airbag of the airship is too conspicuous, and it won't take long for someone to think that it is some kind of gas in the airbag that is at work.

Once we get the blueprints, we can immediately confirm this. After all, there is no power machine in the cabin at all. Then, as long as we repeat the experiments, we will soon find a gas that is suitable for providing lift.

"So, do you know what the big shot of Bloody Thorn wants to do with the airship?" Lin En looked at Nur and asked again.

Compared with the technology leak, he was more concerned about the purpose of these people. What if they did something with the airship, such as bombing an important town, and in the end the blame might be put on him.

Now everyone knows that the aerospace airship is his own unique alchemical creation!

"It's because of..." Nur just opened his mouth and his expression suddenly became extremely painful. He opened his mouth wide as if someone was strangling his throat, and then he banged his head on the ground frantically.

Bang~bang~bang~

With each loud bang, Nur's forehead, which had been relatively strong, immediately became red and swollen, and blood gushed out of it, but he seemed to be unaware of it.

Facing Nur who suddenly went crazy, Lin En was also frightened. He reached out and pressed down the other person's head which was constantly hitting the ground, but the next moment he realized that the other person had stopped moving.

Lin En lifted Noor's cheek. His forehead was covered in blood, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was ferocious.

After checking his breath and carotid artery, he suddenly found that he was already dead...

Looking at Noor who suddenly went mad and died in front of him, Lin En couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He looked around very quickly but didn't see any figure, and he didn't notice any movement before.

[Fossils to mud]

Lin En raised his hand and cast a spell, getting out the half of Nur's body that was stuck in the ground. He held the sword tightly in his right hand, ready to deal with the possibility of him suddenly resurrecting and pouncing on him at any time.

However, none of his worries happened. Nur's skin was still green and smooth, and the sword wounds on his body had long since healed. There was no sign of any problem with his appearance...

Some kind of attack involving the soul?

Lin En suddenly thought of this, because Nur's current condition is somewhat similar to Bai Ge's, both of them do not show any injuries on the outside, so it is very likely that it is damage to the soul.

The only difference is that when White Dove released [Soul Scream], he was counterattacked by Anruk who possessed a little divine power, while Nur was attacked the moment he explained the use of the airship.

It is possible that someone has engraved some kind of magic in his brain, which will be activated immediately when Noor says something that cannot be revealed, destroying his brain.

Only psychic wizards who have a deep understanding of the soul can do this.

Lin En immediately realized that this wizard organization called "Bloody Thorn" was probably more complicated and dangerous than he had imagined.

In addition to magical transformation and research on methods to be promoted to formal wizards, he may also be specializing in the research of psychic magic that is banned in the entire wizarding land.

What made Lin En even more uneasy was that when Noor was interrogated by him before, he had revealed a lot of information about the personnel of [Crimson Thorns], but failed to trigger this mechanism. It happened that when he was talking about the airship...

Just as I was thinking about it, a burst of messy footsteps suddenly came.

Lynn turned his head and saw a ball of fire already burning in his palm, but it quickly went out.

The people who came were none other than Lord and several of his trusted subordinates.

"Lord Lin?" Lord looked at the strange wizard in front of him and asked uncertainly.

"It's me!" Lin En nodded, without any intention of hiding it.

Lord heaved a sigh of relief, and was not surprised by Lynn's now slightly unfamiliar appearance.

As early as in the Harbor Town, he saw that Lin En was a wizard who was proficient in plastic surgery, and was also tricked by the other party's disguised Labul, so naturally he remembered it clearly.

"Is this Nur? Why does he look a little different from what was reported in the intelligence..." Lord quickly noticed the green corpse next to Lin En.

Since the magic power in his body has been exhausted, Nur's sturdy figure of more than two meters in height has shrunk long ago, but his skin is still green, and one can only vaguely see his identity from the outline of his face.

Could it be that this is some kind of torturous magic?

"It's the effect of a transformation potion. It should be related to the defective product you mentioned before..." Lin En interrupted Loud's fantasy, used ice magic to freeze Noor, and then said, "Find a few more people to take him back. Remember to be secretive and don't let others see him."

Lin En was still very interested in this so-called "defective product".

Of course, this doesn't mean that he also wants to become the "Hulk", but he intends to study how the transformation potion can greatly improve a person's physical fitness in a very short period of time and have the ability to heal injuries.

Since there are wizards who call this kind of people defective products, there must be perfect works...

After asking Lord and others to hide Nur, it was already close to lunchtime in the afternoon. Lin En did not rush to do research, but went straight back to the dormitory in Yieta Harbor.

After stepping into the room, Lin En's steps suddenly stopped and he became extremely alert.

A bright red sealed envelope was leaning against the shelf of the desk.

And before he left, this thing didn't exist...

Chapter 91: Gathering of the Faceless

During this time, has anyone entered your room?

It is also possible that magic was used to control the goblins and placed this thing on his desk.

Lin En realized this immediately, and then the bright red envelope began to tremble slightly as if it sensed something.

[Ice Curtain]

Lin En raised his hand and cast a spell without hesitation. A solid wall of ice crystals appeared in front of him. His right hand was on the door handle, ready to open the door and run away at any time.

As Lin En was watching vigilantly, the bright red envelope opened automatically and floated in the air. The golden magic words inside were very conspicuous.

Dear Mr. Karl

In view of your outstanding performance in Yieta Harbor, we sincerely invite you to become a member of the Faceless Men.

The Faceless Ones are dedicated to exploring the mysteries of magic. There are no rules or distinctions here. All members will exchange knowledge as equals and jointly explore the truth of the world...

……

……

The next meeting will be held four days later at 11:00 pm. We look forward to your presence. 】

Lynn's eyes swept across the long page of paper, and finally fixed on the two words "Karl" at the beginning of the envelope.

Has your identity been exposed?

This thought couldn't help but come to Lin En's mind. Carl was the name of the body he occupied. He hadn't heard this name for a long time since arriving in Harbor Town.

Although the red letter in front of him looked like just an invitation letter, and the content and address were very polite, it was obvious that the visitor had ill intentions and carried a threatening tone as his identity was directly pointed out.

And now Johnny is the only one who knows his identity for sure...

No, White Dove and the ignorant Kelu also count as half.

Lynn's first suspect was naturally Johnny. After entering Harbor Town, the identity and status he obtained did not match his original self, Carl, and the other party might have some doubts in his heart.

It would be of no benefit to Johnny to have his identity exposed, because that would mean that the responsibility for the interruption of the route would be raised again.

Compared to his officially certified identity, the words of an apprentice did not carry much credibility.

The second is Bai Ge. Although this child looks half-dead now, some powerful psychic wizards may be able to search some key information from her mind.

Hellram has already taken the frozen body of the white dove to find a great wizard who is proficient in psychic magic. Maybe this is related to it.

However, Lin En quickly rejected this speculation, because the great wizard had just set out yesterday. Not to mention whether he could reach the Wizard City within one day, but at least he couldn't turn back to send a letter to himself.

In addition, he could not contend with the power that Helram possessed. If the other party had a hold on him and wanted him to do something, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
