[127] Finn's Solution!

As they had no idea about the identity of the deceased, investigating the murder or gathering other information seemed impossible.

Just when everything was at a standstill, a person rushed in holding a small bottle.

Bors, upon seeing this, immediately smiled and quickly took the small bottle.

"Villy, turn him over."

"Oh~"

Villy obediently went over and flipped the body over, revealing the back.

Holding the small bottle, Bors walked over. From the situation, everyone naturally understood what he was about to do.

The Status Thief was a special concoction that could reveal the sealed status. However, because its effect forcibly broke the seal, it was prohibited from being sold in Orario.

Nevertheless, this concoction still circulated in the black market.

Where there are people, there is a market. This is an age-old truth.

"Status Thief? Bors, it's sacrilege to the deceased."

"Tsk, you big familia members are always complicating things, so annoying. In the current situation, do you have any other way? We don't even know what the other person looks like, how are we supposed to investigate?"

While saying this, Bors opened the bottle and carefully poured out a drop of concoction.

This concoction was extremely expensive, and every drop was like burning money.

Considering the special circumstances, Finn didn't say anything, and only Riveria, turned her head, unwilling to witness everything.

As the concoction dripped onto the back of the deceased, the sealed status manifested. However, the inscriptions were all divine script, and Bors couldn't recognize them.

"Hey, high elf over there, you should know this."

Hearing Bors's words, Riveria, although reluctant, couldn't turn a blind eye since she was already there.

In the end, Riveria turned her head and looked at the back of the deceased.

"Hashana Dorlia, Ganesha Familia, Level 4."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell into silence.

"How is this possible? A Level 4 adventurer? Don't joke with me. How could a Level 4 adventurer be silently killed like this?"

Bors was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He was just a Level 3, but he managed to survive in this dungeon. A Level 4 adventurer being silently killed? This indicated that the killer was at least Level 5.

Having a first tier assassin on his turf, this was like walking with a ticking time bomb. Who wouldn't be shocked? Especially for Bors and the shopkeeper Billy, their backs were soaked in cold sweat.

Shivering all over, this first tier assassin was like a walking nuclear bomb.

"Things have gotten complicated."

Finn, too, hadn't expected the deceased to be a Level 4 adventurer.

This meant that the situation wasn't as simple as a murder. To go through the trouble of killing a Level 4 adventurer, especially a member of the Ganesha Familia known for its reputation and top-notch stealth skills, there had to be a special motive. Not all Familias were as talented as the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia.

Looking at the chaotic scene and scattered potions, magic stones, and some valuables on the ground, it indicated that the killer was searching for something. However, it was highly likely that the killer hadn't found it yet.

That meant the killer might still be in the town.

"Finn, what should we do?"

Bors turned his gaze to Finn. It wasn't that he was scared, it was just that he was helpless. After all, he was weak.

"It can be confirmed that the opponent's strength is at least Level 4, maybe even Level 5. The murder was committed to obtain something from the deceased, and it's possible that it hasn't been found yet. Therefore, the killer might still be in this town."

Hearing Finn say this, Bors became even more panicked. Still in the town? This raised the danger level for himself.

"Finn, what should we do next?"

"Bors, gather all the adventurers in the town. We need to investigate each one individually. After all, this matter is a bit tricky."

"Alright, I'll do it immediately."

For the sake of his own life, Bors no longer cared about other things.

About half an hour later, all the people in the entire town were gathered in the square. Although Bors had limited strength, he was still the boss here, and he had this capability.

On the square, hundreds of people stood, while Finn, Riveria, and even August were on the elevated platform.

August stood on the platform, overseeing the area with Haki.

As a outsider, he was like a small butterfly in the butterfly effect of this world. Therefore, August was also afraid of any unexpected changes in the plot.

On the side, Finn began to speak. As the captain of the Loki Familia, and a Level 6 veteran adventurer, he had absolute prestige and reputation in Orario.

The people below were very obedient, after all, these strong individuals were not to be trifled with.

Not only that, there were a large number of female adventurers below, and Finn, being a Level 6 adventurer, had many admirers in Orario.

This scene made Tione, who viewed Finn as everything, grit her teeth. She wished she could rush down and take out all these women.

"Lady Ais, is Miss Tione okay? It feels ominous."

The black aura emitting from Tione scared the nearby Lefiya. It seemed like she was about to undergo a transformation.

Ais shook her head, not knowing what was wrong with Tione.

"It's okay, Lefiya, Ais. My nympho sister is just a bit jealous. Don't worry."

Tiona, being an expert at teasing her sister, explained immediately.

Looking at Finn on the platform, then at the women below with fiery eyes, and finally at the nearly-blackened Tione, Lefiya suddenly understood everything.

"August~"

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly left the square and ran towards the mountain.

Ais naturally noticed it first and subconsciously looked towards August.

Everything was seen by August, but at this moment, he found his target. One person in the crowd emitted magic power similar to monsters.
