Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 81 Investigation Team
Degen city at night, inner city area.

Viscount Bill took off his clothes and put on pajamas under the maid's clothes.

He walked to the big bed and looked at the vulgar sheets and pillows, feeling angry.

Those demons completely destroyed the mansion that Viscount Bill had inherited for hundreds of years, and he had to temporarily live in this villa that once belonged to his lover.

The furniture in the villa might seem very luxurious to ordinary people, but as a viscount whose aesthetic sense was influenced by the upper society, Bill felt that it was like living in a pigsty.

He thought of the Rosa Castle he had visited during the day. Even though he was old and had cultivated his character, a hint of greed still arose in his heart.

When the messenger he sent returns from the royal city and deposes Count Rosa, who says he can't sit in the castle?
As for Colette, she is just a little girl. How can she protect such a huge fortune and herself?
He has ten thousand dirty tricks to make her surrender!
Just as a smile appeared on Bill's lips, a barely audible groan suddenly came from outside the window.

He frowned, coughed to clear his throat, and said in a dignified voice: "Guard, what happened?"

After a long time outside, there was no response, and the old man had a bad feeling in his heart.

He quickly walked to the side of the desk and picked up a ring. It was the [Advanced Teleportation Ring] that he bought at a high price. If anything bad happened, the ring would immediately teleport the person to a place one kilometer away.

But just as he was about to put on the ring, a cold wind flashed by, and he felt his fingers get cold, as if some liquid was flowing out.

He slowly lowered his head and was stunned to find that the four fingers of his right hand except the thumb had all been chopped off and fell to the ground, with large streams of blood gushing out crazily.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The pain slowly reached his nerves, and Bill let out a miserable whine.

A gray-skinned finger stretched out from behind him in front of him and swayed left and right.

"Shh, you're making me so excited."

A sweet and cold voice came from behind him, with a hint of uncontrollable joy. Bill tensed up all over, endured the pain and dared not make a sound, and slowly turned his head to look.

He was a drow, with a strong build, but the shadows allowed him to hide himself flexibly. He was covered in black armor, but he deliberately took off his helmet, enjoying the joy of showing his face to his victims.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Bill tried to stay calm and spoke tremblingly. His body kept shaking and the loss of blood made his old body almost go into shock.

Lao Luoan put the black sword in his hand close to Bill's face and smiled cruelly.

"Who am I? I am the executioner of the victims, I am the joy of pain, I am the death in the night."

"Don't try to escape, Bill." Captain Zhuoer said with pity, "Except you, all the members of Bill's family have been killed by me."

He closed his eyes in joy, enjoying Bill's sadness and fear: "Ah, the master has fallen into a deep sleep, and everything here is up to us. This feeling is so wonderful."

He opened his eyes and looked at Bill, putting away his smile, and announced condescendingly: "And what I have decided is to eliminate all of you ants on the surface who want to get your hands on his treasure without leaving a single one behind."

The sharp black sword flashed by, and only the black color like a solar eclipse remained in Bill's retina, sucking his soul inescapably.

In the last moment of his life, he had only one question.

he? who is he?
Lao Luoan stepped on the old man's head, glanced at him coldly, and then disappeared into the night.

The night is still long, and the blood of a family is calling him.
-
The next day, the bloody incident shocked the entire Degen City. The Bill family and the Tangel family were expelled overnight. The citizens talked about it, but the nobles were silent.

This is a struggle for power, Bill and Tangel mistakenly overestimate their own cards, and the new countess has more cards, that's all.

After this incident, Colette's path to becoming earl was smooth, and the nobles also carefully discovered that the interests that once belonged to the Bill and Tangel families were all taken over by Baron Ant within a week.

The nobles knew very well the "Count's white gloves".

At this time, "My Lord Earl" was sitting in his office with an impatient look on his face, dealing with various government documents irritably.

"Viscount Barao of Barao Town seeks military assistance from Degen City to prevent a monster attack?" Colette thought for a moment and wrote the word "approval" on the document.

"The Baron of Kate Village applied to restore the right of virginity? What a sweet dream!" Colette sneered and threw the document into the trash can.

She threw the pen aside, sighed, and leaned back in the soft leather chair.

The position of earl was not as interesting as she had imagined. Dealing with the trivial matters of the towns and villages under her jurisdiction every day made her miss the adventures she had as the Golden Iris.

"I don't know how long it will take for the master to wake up."

The girl looked out the window and lamented that all matters, big and small, in Degen City had to be decided after discussions between her, Loslien, and Lao Luoan. Often, the different opinions among the three would cause the handling of the matter to be delayed for a long time.

She actually didn't agree with the way Loslien manipulated the people's will, and she hated the dirty smell of blood on Lao Luoan, but in the end, the three of them served the same master. Everything was in the interests of the great White Mystery, which was the philosophy they all followed.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, interrupting the girl's thoughts. Loslien walked in and said seriously, "They are here."

Colette was stunned for a moment, then nodded, stood up from behind the desk and walked out of the office.

In the reception room of Rosa Castle, a group of people had been waiting for a long time.

They are an investigation team from the royal capital, and they are here under the orders of the King of Inbutu to find out whether there are any doubts about the truth of the matter.

The team was led by an old man in a white robe. His eyes lit up when he saw Colette. He walked past Losrien who was about to shake hands with him and greeted her with a smile.

"This must be the legendary Golden Iris. I've heard of you for a long time."

Colette smiled and shook hands, and used her eyes to warn Loslien, who looked unhappy behind the old man.

"You must be Mr. Moore, the prophet from the capital. Welcome to Degen City. I have arranged for the waiter to tidy up the room. Please stay at Rosa Castle during the investigation. I hope to do my best to be a good host."

The old man was very satisfied with Colette's words. As a level 12 prophecy master, Moore could basically enjoy the highest level of treatment in any city in Imbutu.

After the meeting, the old man went straight to the point and said, "Count Rosa, one of the main purposes of my visit this time is to find the dragon that saved the city. Do you have any clues?"

Colette paused for a moment and asked politely, "I wonder why the capital wants to investigate the information of that dragon?"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This is a royal secret, so My Lord Earl, please don't ask about it. You just need to know that the royal family has no ill will towards him. On the contrary, the royal family just wants to find that prince and consult him about sealing the demon."

Loslien narrowed his eyes. It sounded as if the royal family knew some inside information about the demon sacrifice?

Unfortunately, the owner had fallen asleep and they were confused as to what was going on.

But openly, they would never admit their connection with Nemesis, so Colette shook her head and denied it:
"I don't know. In fact, the dragon disappeared after the incident. It is said that a huge black cocoon appeared in the square and sank into the ground after the incident. Are you investigating this matter?"

Moore nodded and said, "Since the black cocoon has disappeared, there is no need to pursue it. Since the Earl doesn't know, I won't bother you for now."

The investigation team left the reception room. Colette and Loslien looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

"They seem to know what's inside that black thing?" Collette said hesitantly.

"Not only that, they think the master knows it, too," Losrien added.

He snorted coldly and looked at the closed door of the reception room, as if he was looking at the investigation team outside through the wall: "Let them investigate. The master has returned to the underground lair. There are countless monsters guarding the master's sleep. If they want to die, let them do it."
-
When Moore returned to the room, he took out the crystal ball and asked his apprentice to carve a pentagram array on the floor of the room for him.

He sat in the center of the pentagram formation and began to prepare to cast a spell. He must try to find the dragon. At least three cities in the kingdom have been discovered where specific knowledge of the abyss sacrifice ritual is circulating. The old shadows lurking underground may return at any time.

"How did you seal Fibonacci?" Moore sighed.

The royal family must be prepared for this, and those buried underground should just remain in this state.

He raised the crystal ball in his hand, a dazzling white light flashed in his eyes, he chanted the spell softly, his mind wandering in the multiverse, looking for those mysterious beings, demanding information from them.

Five-ring prophecy spell——[Otherworld Exploration]!
The power of the spell quickly connected to a powerful alien entity. Moore was not sure whether the other party was an angel, a demon, or even a god, but he knew that the only thing he had to do now was to ask.

"Great being from another world, Master Moore humbly prays for an answer - where is the silver dragon that solved the disaster in Degen City now?"

The light curtain of the crystal ball turned blue, and then it began to spin like a whirlpool. A deep voice rang out from it:

"Your wish cannot be fulfilled."

Moore frowned. Could it be that he was unlucky enough to be connected to a weak being from another world?

[Otherworld Exploration] can basically only establish connections with extremely powerful quasi-gods or even higher beings, but there are always some unlucky wizards who waste spell slots and find themselves connected to a lesser demon, or even worse, a mischievous goblin.

So in order to verify whether he had become one of those unlucky wizards, Moore continued to ask: "Why is this?"

A deep laugh could be heard from the blue whirlpool, and the smell of fresh sea water wafted from it.

"Because he is blessed by a powerful divine power."
