The murder that occurred last night!
It has nothing to do with Collei!
Tighnari rushed into the crowd and looked inside.
Collei left Huacheng Guo last night, and this road is the only way to enter the city of Sumeru.
If Collei was looking for Ye Xi in the city of Sumeru, she would definitely pass through here.
This gave him a sinister premonition.
He wasn't worried that Collei would be dead.
Since Collei was brought by Cyno, it was impossible for him to see Collei's accident and remain so calm.
As another person was killed, Tighnari was concerned that Collei might have used a power she shouldn't have.
If that force went out of control, it would be dangerous!
"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you interested in this case?"
"It would be great if you could help me."
Tighnari didn't respond to Cyno's words but carefully checked the situation.
The scene was guarded by mercenaries from the thirty-member regiment, while bystanders talked from a distance.
"My God, it's really scary. Is it not safe to enter the city?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, these people died so badly! And in such a strange way!"
"I think these few look like the golden-bathed brigade from the desert, right? I don't think they're good people, and they deserve to die!"
"Regardless of who the dead person is, this kind of thing happened on the only road to the City of Sumeru, that's the point!"
"Hey, I think it's better not to leave the city lately."
"It's not far from the City of Sumeru. Didn't the thirty-member patrol group notice?"
"Public safety issues need to be taken seriously!"
"…"
The discussions around this were clearly suspicious of the security capabilities.
These words reached the ears of the thirty-member mercenaries, which became a source of criticism and ridicule from Chi Guoguo.
Tighnari looked around but found no clues related to the Black Flame.
Moreover, the injuries on the few dead didn't appear to have been caused by bows and arrows.
This basically ruled out clues about Collei, which made him sigh with relief.
'Could it be that nothing happened when Collei passed?'
Cyno approached Tighnari and asked, "So, what do you see that seems suspicious?"
"This case was done by a master!"
"And that person is much more powerful than us."
Hearing what Cyno said, Tighnari's eyes filled with surprise.
Cyno is a General Mahamatra; if he's ashamed of himself, how terrifying must the other party be?
Perhaps this supposed expert has something to do with Collei.
Thinking of this, he looked again at the corpses on the ground.
On the ground were several mercenaries from the golden-bathed brigade lying in disarray.
Tighnari looked closer and immediately took a deep breath.
"The chests of these people seem to have been burned, and all their internal organs are actually cooked!"
"Is it fire elemental power?"
"No, with fire elemental power, it's impossible to burn only the internal organs without destroying the skin surface…"
Hearing Tighnari speaking to himself, Cyno added, "It's not completely exempt from damage."
"I just checked carefully, and there are extremely small burn marks on the hearts front and back."
Upon hearing this, Tighnari unfastened Collei's collar from one of them.
Indeed, at the spot described by Cyno, he saw a burn the size of a thumb.
This left him very intrigued.
What method caused such a fatal injury, and what did these people experience?
"This person is very strong!"
Tighnari couldn't figure it out, so he could only present his subjective assessment: "I can't think of anyone in Sumeru who could kill everyone like this all at once."
Cyno nodded, agreeing with what Tighnari said.
As General Mahamatra, he is very good at both combat power and interrogation techniques.
However, even he was horrified to see this fatal and shocking injury.
What a sight!
He acted decisively and showed no mercy.
That mentality is extraordinary.
"It's worth mentioning the remains."
Cyno pointed to the corpse next to the giant axe and explained, "This man's chest was hit hard, his sternum was cracked, and his internal organs were all shattered."
"The person who must have killed him is very powerful!"
Tighnari crouched down and observed.
As Cyno said, he died miserably and died on the spot.
His chest looked like it had been hit by a heavy stone.
"In other words, the explosive power of this person is incredible, and they can kill these Golden Brigade mercenaries in an instant."
Tighnari was lost in thought.
The Golden Brigade in the desert isn't weak; some are extremely hard to deal with.
Just like the mercenary with that huge axe, this giant axe feels as light as a feather in his hand, but when it's swung, it can cut a person in half directly.
The other mercenaries are absolutely extraordinary in terms of size.
But the scene before him told him that these people had almost no resistance and were all killed at once.
Moreover, it seemed these mercenaries wanted to escape before they died.
Just ask: how strong must the opponent be for these battle-hardened golden brigades to flee without fighting?
"We only have one clue about this man."
Cyno took a bright mora from his pocket and handed it to Tighnari: "This is a mora found at the crime scene. It should have been left by that master. I don't know what it's for."
"However, if we want to find him, we can only rely on this."
Tighnari took the mora and looked at it closely, but had no idea.
"Cyno, do you want to take it?"
Cyno looked serious, sighed, and said, "Avoid this situation as much as possible."
"It's a wise choice."
Tighnari nodded and said, "If such a powerful person is an enemy of the Holy Order and is still lurking in the City of Sumeru, it will be very frightening."
As he spoke, a disciplinary agent suddenly appeared from a distance.
"Master Cyno, we have discovered news of several dead people!"
"They are mercenaries belonging to the [Legacy of the God King] in the desert area."
"According to confessions from some businessmen, they often rob at this location at night."
"These dead are the golden brigade that surrounded the wealthy merchants here!"
"According to the investigation, these people have committed many serious crimes!"
Upon hearing this report, Cyno and Tighnari both sighed in relief at the same time.
This news means they don't need to take risks to find this master.
"It seems they attacked someone they shouldn't have and died as a result."
"Let's close the case for now."
Cyno took the initiative to step to the center of the scene and announced to all the onlookers: "Everyone, the investigation into this case has been concluded."
"The few dead are members of the notorious [Legacy of the God King]."
"They robbed wealthy businessmen here and were killed by an unknown master, which is considered a way of eliminating evil for the people."
"So everyone can rest easy."
"The master who kills these people is not a bad person!"
Upon hearing the words of General Mahamatra Cyno, the bystanders around nodded.
"I see."
"So I can rest easy!"
"Officer Dafeng, who is this master! Does he have a name?"
"Yes, everyone should thank him!"
"…"
Cyno scratched his chin when he heard these words, thought for a moment, and said, "This person's name is Mora."
Tighnari: …
This name made Tighnari feel helpless, causing him a headache.
'Should I say this or not? It's worthy of the name given by General Mahamatra Dafeng.'
Sure enough, the crowd fell silent for a moment, and the scene became very awkward.
Cyno looked left and right, raised the mora in his hand, and said, "The reason for this name."
"It's because the master was at the scene and left a Mora."
Public:...
"Hmm?"
"Isn't it a good name?"
Cyno frowned slightly, his face full of doubts: "I judge that the other party must be a human who is merging with Mora. Is that name irrational?"
"Mola people... I heard that Liyue has a delicacy called Mora meat…"
"Mora people...Mora meat…"
"How about linking…"
"Cyno, you don't need to explain."
Tighnari couldn't take it anymore, stepped forward, pulled Cyno out, and said blankly: "Why are you telling a bad joke now?"
"Well…"
"Now that everyone is afraid of this case, I think the atmosphere can be properly activated."
Cyno's words made Tighnari's eyes darken: "So you think everyone is laughing?"
Cyno looked around upon hearing this.
All the bystanders observing around were rubbing their arms as if they had been splashed with cold water.
Cyno lost his head…..
Tighnari sighed deeply.
He simply admired Cyno!
This kind of cold field skill is like a cold wind blowing through; it can be called invincible.
If the Eye of God could select attributes again, Tighnari had no doubt that Cyno's Eye of God would become an ice element.
I fear that when the time comes, the Winter Solstice Queen will have
to scream.
At that moment, a mercenary from the thirty-member regiment came running from afar, shouting as he ran:
"It's bad! A relic guard has appeared in the city! Return to the city to defend!"
"Requesting support—!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Cyno and Tighnari changed, and they ran toward the City of Sumeru.
