The first to bear the brunt of the attack was the lion who had plotted against him.

He swung his body wildly, and the lion had no choice but to put down the weapon that was still stuck in Mudrick's body and jump down.

Almost in an instant, Mudrick locked onto the lion and then rushed towards him.

The lion looked at Mudrick who was rushing towards him.

Although everyone knows that Mudrick Lion is now at the end of his strength, he is still a strong man after all, and he is even more unpredictable when he is in a frenzy.

So she thought about escaping. By dodging in the woods, she could continue to wear down Mudrick's strength during the chase, until the end, when he was exhausted, and then give him the final blow.

Mudrick chased the lion for half a minute and found that he could not catch up with him. As his physical strength was constantly draining away, the intense pain restored a little bit of his sanity.

Then he looked at Virgil, who was lying next to a tree not far away.

I have to change one!

With this thought in mind, Mudrick quickly changed direction, ignoring the lion and rushing directly towards Virgil.

When Lion first saw Mudrick moving, she thought he had given up, but after seeing Virgil in the direction of Mudrick's movement, she was stunned.

Litt obviously saw this too.

"Virgil, be careful!" she said, looking at Virgil worriedly.

It seems that she, who is currently only at the fourth level of strength, can do nothing.

At this moment, Virgil was lying beside the tree, looking up, staring in a daze at what was happening.

A huge figure suddenly rushed towards him.

Mudrick felt very proud when he saw that he was about to succeed.

He could feel the lion's aura approaching him as he headed towards Virgil.

Sure enough, as long as I threaten the lives of others, that annoying mosquito will come close to me.

Thinking of this, Mudrick smiled with a look of success, then turned around with a smile, ready to give a head-on blow to the lion that rushed over to rescue Virgil.

Just as he turned around, a figure quietly appeared behind him.

Orson gripped the hilt of the sword, then chanted something softly.

Just as Mudrick saw the lion charging towards him and was about to attack, an explosion sounded here.

Then he was surprised to find that he had no strength left.

He looked down and saw that the part of his chest where the sword had pierced had exploded, leaving a huge hole.

In this hole, you can even see your own bones.

No matter how strong the demon's physique is, it is impossible for him to recover with a big hole in his chest.

He turned around in astonishment, but only saw Orson floating in the air, looking at him with a smile.

"Captain Mudrick, this is your gift, please sign for it."

Just now, when Mudrick turned around, Orson came behind Mudrick, and then used the sword that was still inserted in Mudrick's body as a conductor to release lightning magic, which exploded directly in Mudrick's chest.

Mudrick stared at Orson angrily, but could not speak.

Dark red blood continued to flow out from the huge gap in the chest.

Then, he fell down.

After the three-meter-tall huge body fell down, the ground shook slightly and made a noise.

Seeing Mudrick finally dead in front of him, Orson finally felt relieved.

Then he bent down and found Mudrick's storage ring on his body, walked up to Litt and handed the storage ring to her.

"Here you go, Lit." Orson said this with a smile.

"Is this what you want?" Then he handed Mudrick's storage ring to Litt.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Litt took the ring that Orson gave her and nodded.

"Um...thank you, Orson."

"It's okay." Orson shook his head. "I was negligent in this matter. If I had known that Mudrick had connections with the devil and the cult, I would never have let you handle this matter."

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Then, a well-equipped and gorgeous troop appeared in the woods.

They came out surrounded by a man.

Everyone looked over.

Surrounded by them was a dignified middle-aged man.

Orson recognized him. He was the commander of the imperial city garrison and an eighth-level knight of the empire. His name was Langdon.

Langdon frowned.

He walked forward and glanced at everyone present, and then saw the dead body of Mudrick lying on the ground.

After seeing Mudrick's strange skin, he showed a look of surprise.

Time goes back to the moment when Mudrick took the potion and turned into a demon. Group 6③4③3⑥1③5

Litt was worried that Mudrick would do something bad to everyone, so he ordered his men to quickly return to the city and lead the guards here.

Although this incident was initially considered a private fight, it has now far exceeded the nature of a private fight.

Then, the subordinates ran to the city gate and informed the public of the appearance of the demon outside the city.

At first, when the soldiers heard the news, they did not believe it. However, when they saw the person who brought the news looked terrified and was willing to swear on his life, they had no choice but to believe him.

After all, the devil is no joke, and if you dare to make a false police report, the punishment will be quite severe.

The garrison soldiers then reported the news to higher authorities.

Finally, the news reached the ears of the garrison commander, Langdon.

Langdon was in his forties or fifties. The last time he heard the name "demon" was when he was a child. At that time, he heard that if you cross the desert where orcs live and go to the eastern part of the continent, there will be all kinds of strange races. They will come to the empire through the desert trade routes or sea routes.

Among those strange races, the demon race is undoubtedly the most ferocious.

They are born with strong bloodlines, but because of their aggressive nature and bad temper, they find it difficult to adapt to group life. Therefore, they are discriminated against by other races in the East Continent. They can only live in the harsh environment and the wild where few people go. Their numbers are decreasing year by year.

In fact, in the early years of the empire, it was invaded by demons. At that time, a brave man named Kyle appeared in the empire. He led his companions to attack the Demon King's Castle, killed the Demon King, and at the same time drove away all the remaining demons from the Western Continent.

After that, demons that had caused great harm to humans became species that were banned from entering the empire. If a demon was found in the empire, it would be killed without mercy.

"What's going on?" Langdon said, looking at Orson and others.

Orson had just helped Virgil up and fed him a bottle of potion. When he saw Langdon asking, he just shrugged.

"I don't know what happened either." Orson said, looking at Litt and Shi.

"Perhaps it would be better to ask these two."

"Forget it." Langdon said, and waved his hand. "Everyone, let's go back to the Imperial City and talk slowly."

Then, several soldiers came forward, carried Mudrick's body to a carriage on the road outside the woods, and then covered it with a cloth.

Langdon walked up to the group and pointed to the carriage outside.

"Everyone, please get on the carriage first."

"Okay." Orson nodded politely after hearing this.

Next, several people got on the carriage back to the city.

……

On the other side, the city of Constantine.

The city of Constant is a satellite city near the city of Saint Laurent. It is very small with a population of no more than 50,000. The mayor of the city is a baron under the emperor.

The doctor was whistling as he strolled through the streets of Constantia, looking very happy.

Now, he has changed his clothes from a white suit to a white doctor's coat, and is holding a medical box in his hand, looking quite professional.

He had just accepted a task on the task list of the Adventurer's Association in the city.

Recently, Baron Drizzt in the city has been feeling unwell and has been suffering from headaches. No matter how he treated himself, he couldn't get better. Even if he invited a priest from the city to come, all he could do was relieve the pain.

So, Drizzt gave the Adventurer's Guild a task, offering a reward of one thousand gold coins to anyone who had some knowledge of medicine and could cure Drizzt's headache.

So the doctor took on this task.

After rushing for about half an hour, the doctor appeared in front of the Baron's mansion.

The soldier in charge of guarding the gate saw the doctor coming and stopped him.

"What do you do?!" the soldier asked.

"Ah, sir, I'm sent by the Adventurer's Association." As he said this, the doctor took out the task list he had received from the Adventurer's Association.

"Here, please take a look."

The soldier glanced at the task list in the doctor's hand, carefully read the seal of the Adventurer's Association on it, and nodded.

"I see. I'll go and report it."

Then the soldier turned and walked into the mansion, and a minute later he came out again.

"Lord Drizzt has agreed, you can go in." The soldier said this and prepared to walk into the Duke's mansion with the doctor.

Entering the living room, a pale, extremely thin young man was sitting on the main seat. He was supporting his head with one hand, and his face did not look good, as if he was trying hard to endure some pain.

"You are the doctor who is going to come and see me?" Trist said this, opening his eyes and looking at the doctor.

"Yes." The doctor bowed respectfully. "Lord Drizzt, I have been traveling around and practicing medicine for ten years. I have some experience in treating difficult and complicated diseases. I think I can be of some help with your condition, Lord Drizzt."

"Okay." Hearing this, Drizzt stared at the doctor carefully for a long time before finally nodding. "Well, let's go inside first."

Having said this, he stood up with the help of the handrail and walked towards the inner room.

Hearing this, the doctor nodded and followed him.

"Lord Drizzt, the Duke's mansion is so big, but I don't think you have hired many servants?"

"Ah..." Trist paused after hearing that, and then said, "I like quietness. After my father passed away a year ago, the servants hired by our family are all hourly workers. They go straight back home after finishing their work."

"Oh, you are not like other nobles who treat servants as their own private property." The doctor said this with a smile.

"Hehe." Trist just smiled and didn't say much.

"By the way, Lord Drizzt, you look almost thirty years old. Don't you have a wife at home?"

Upon hearing this, Drizzt stopped where he was, turned around and looked at the doctor.

As if stimulated by something, his tone became a little stiff.

"You're a doctor, not here to check my family background, right?"

"Ah, sorry, I was rude." The doctor said this and bowed to Drizzt. "It's just that when I was practicing medicine, I used to find the cause of the patient's illness from the patient's previous life. If this is too offensive to you, I apologize."

"...It's okay." Seeing the doctor's sincerity, Drizzt just shook his head and said nothing. "For some reason, I didn't marry a wife."

Then, the two went upstairs and came to the second floor, which was Trist's bedroom.

"Then let's talk here first. It's not very convenient down there just now, and I'm not feeling well now." Trist said this, lying on the bed, and motioned the doctor to sit down.

The doctor also nodded, then closed the door and sat in the guest seat.

"Please tell me, when did your symptoms start?"

"Okay..." Trist nodded after hearing that.

……

"So, this is what happened?" Sitting in the interrogation room, Langdon looked at Litt in front of him and asked.

"Yes." Li Te nodded. "It's true that we asked Mudrick out because of some personal grudges, but Mudrick's subsequent actions have completely crossed the line. I suggest that we conduct a thorough investigation of anyone who has had contact with the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group before."

"I see." Langdon nodded. "Then, Mr. Leete, you can go back now."

"Okay." Lit nodded, then stood up and left the interrogation room.
