Wizard Earl

"Bispin!"

In Connor Ferguson's eyes, if Prince Boateng were to die, Bisping would undoubtedly be the prime suspect!

First of all, Bispin had a motive to kill. The reason he came from the capital Bernabéu was because he was ordered by Reyes to extract Prince Boateng's soul and refine his spirit!

Secondly, the motive for murder is clear. Bispin also possesses the ability to kill Prince Boateng. Although Prince Boateng still retains some strength after being severely injured by Bispin, it is insufficient for him to face Bispin. If Prince Boateng and Bispin had encountered each other after Bispin let Prince Boateng go that day, then Prince Boateng's death would have been highly probable. Moreover, according to Connor, Bispin has been searching for Prince Boateng's whereabouts recently!

Just as Connor had already concluded in his mind that Prince Boateng's death was Bispin's doing, he suddenly sensed that a woman sitting by the window in the hall, wearing a gray mask, was speaking telepathically to the young man standing in the center of the hall, concealed by her gray mask.

The woman wearing the gray mask was a mid-level wizard apprentice, while the young man was a novice wizard. Therefore, Connor, a first-level wizard, could easily overhear the content of their conversation if he was interested.

"I know some details about Prince Boateng's death!" the woman wearing a gray mask said telepathically to the young man standing in the center of the hall. Judging from her voice, the woman wearing the gray mask was not young; she was a middle-aged woman, at least forty years old.

Upon hearing the woman's telepathic message, the young man, who was willing to pay fifty magic stones for detailed information about Prince Boateng's death, was clearly very excited. Without hesitation, he replied telepathically, "Madam! If you can tell me what you know, I will gladly offer you fifty magic stones!"

"Can you tell me why you're interested in this news?" Seemingly puzzled by the young man's question, the middle-aged woman asked him telepathically.

"My father is involved in bilateral trade between the Odin Empire and the Kaman Empire, frequently traveling between West Ham and Frosinone. Therefore, I am very interested in the affairs of the Boateng family. I wonder if this explanation will satisfy you, Madam?" The young man gave a reason in response to the middle-aged woman's question.

Although the reason given by the other party was quite far-fetched, the middle-aged woman knew that it would be inappropriate to ask further, so she did not press the matter. Instead, she telepathically told the young man:

"According to my information, Prince Boateng's remains were discovered two days ago in the Saul Swamp by a priest of the Church of the Earth God. However, the remains found in the swamp were not complete; only his head, left arm, and a section of his thigh bone were present!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman's telepathic message, the young man was visibly shocked. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Madam, do you mean Prince Boateng was dismembered?"

"My information is this: besides being dismembered, the remains of Prince Boateng found in the Saul swamp have some unusual marks, and it's currently unclear how those marks were caused!"

"Currently, the two major churches, the Church of the Earth God and the Church of the Storm, have sealed off the Saul Swamp, prohibiting outsiders from entering or leaving. They have also organized a team of over a thousand people to try to find the remaining remains of Prince Boateng in the Saul Swamp. As for the remains that have already been found, they have been properly placed in their St. Casso Cathedral by the Church of the Earth God!"

"That's all the information I have. I hope it's helpful!" the middle-aged woman whispered.

After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, the young man wearing the black mask pondered for a moment, then decisively threw the promised reward of fifty magic stones to the woman, before bowing his head and returning to his seat in the center of the hall.

Connor, who overheard the entire exchange between the two, couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt in his eyes. If the middle-aged woman hadn't misread the message, then Prince Boateng had indeed been dismembered, and the reason for the marks on his remains was likely due to some kind of manipulation, resulting in him being killed multiple times. Therefore, the murderer who killed Prince Boateng was most likely someone who had a deep grudge against him!

Bispin did want to kill Prince Boateng, but that was because he was ordered by Reyes to do so. There was no known deep-seated hatred between Bispin and Prince, let alone dismemberment and multiple killings!

If it is said that Bispin killed the man, and that Bispin did such a cruel thing because of Reyes's orders, then that doesn't seem quite right. Reyes's promise to Prince Boateng was to extract his soul and refine his spirit, not to inflict physical harm!

Moreover, everyone knows that Prince Boateng is dead, and Bispin is the prime suspect. His extreme actions are undoubtedly a blatant provocation against the Boateng family. Given the Boateng family's modus operandi, they will absolutely not let Bispin off the hook!

After thinking for a long time, Connor still couldn't come up with anything. He turned his gaze to the middle-aged woman wearing a gray mask. His current analysis was based on information about this woman, but her authenticity had not yet been confirmed. Perhaps he should try to verify things by looking at the woman's inner thoughts...

Thinking of this, Connor stood up from his chair, walked to the center of the hall, and began to purchase potions and alchemy materials from the wizards present.

Half an hour later, seeing that the middle-aged woman had also left ahead of time, Connor, who had already spent hundreds of magic stones to buy what he wanted from other wizards, quietly followed her.

A first-level wizard is absolutely superior to a mid-level wizard apprentice, so Connor effortlessly and silently subdued the middle-aged woman and began to use soul-searching magic.

A few minutes later, the soul search ended. Looking at the rather attractive middle-aged woman lying unconscious on the ground, Connor's expression became somewhat solemn.

This middle-aged woman, named Kelly, is a priest of the Earth God Cult of Frosinone. Because the Earth God Cult's doctrines are relatively tolerant, and because she wanted to earn some cultivation resources, she appeared at this wizard gathering organized by the Dark Luo Society.
