Chapter 756: Vol V Chapter 116

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“The city lord of Ilo City, Fish Ilo, was found dead naked in the bedroom of his sixth lady, Sophie Red Moon. The cause of death is...” Leon read the brief report with a frown.

He did not have much impression of Fish Ilo. To him, this person was not very powerful and had very average skills in handling government affairs. In short, there was nothing particularly remarkable worth noting. Leon met him several times at the court banquets of Kingdom of the Blue Moon and had briefly exchanged a few words. As a junior, Fish Ilo had offered him a toast. And that was all.

In fact, Fish was keen on making friends with Leon. Other than being recognized as Garth’s famous blade master, Leon was also considered by many to be a top master of the modern world. Though the Ilo family was quite strong in its own capacity, they would do even better if they could establish ties with him.

The only pity was that Leon was a man of high morals and integrity. He did not fancy people with sticky fingers like Fish. And he showed a special dislike for people with no control over their manly desires and who were always playing around with women. Fish was always involved in absurd relationships, and this was one aspect that seriously conflicted with Leon’s moral values. If these two were to cross paths when Leon was still a prince, Leon would not have hesitated in brandishing his sword to finish off Fish. But now that Leon was getting on in his years, he was more mature and tactful. Or rather, he was not as hot-blooded as before. This was why he could use such a mindset like “even the people of Ilo City are not standing up for themselves, who am I to speak out for them” to dissuade himself from finding trouble with Fish.

Fish was dead, and Leon was generally happy with it. But after reading the report on the situation of Fish’s death, he felt a little confused and worried instead.

The way this man died was simply... a little scary.

From the description provided in the report, he tried to imagine the scene of the event. Even though Leon was powerful and strong, he too, could not help feeling an ache around his loins.

Though Fish was not a good man and deserved to be hacked to death, to think of him dying in such a way... exactly what kind of a dangerous and perverted character did he have to be killed like that.

On the other hand, following the death of Fish, Leon did not put much thought into the subsequent disappearance of the sixth lady of Ilo City, Sophie Red Moon. Maybe she was caught by the murderer, maybe she had secretly escaped by herself, or maybe she was simply swallowed by the “thing” that killed Fish—as a civilian scholar with no power at all, Sophie was simply too easy to kill. It would not be surprising at all if her dead body was nowhere to be found.

Upon comparison, he was more concerned with the mysterious person who filled Fish.

Struck by a sudden thought, Leon went to the temple. He sat down in the quiet room and started to cast a spell.

He wanted to use a Divination spell to find out if the guy who killed Fish had anything to do with Garth City.

Who on earth could it be? Honestly, he was not very interested. But would that person affect Garth? This, he was very interested in, or rather, very worried about.

In terms of strength, an assassin who could kill Fish Ilo so soundlessly was at least at the legendary level. And from the analysis of the way Fish died, this person was most likely not a common Legendary master—people of the Ilo family had sought the help of three very high-level adventurers to carefully examine Fish’s dead body. In the end, they confirmed that Fish was neither poisoned nor subdued by someone. He had flopped his butt on the ground after being injured and moved his body a few steps back. Then he fell into a daze like a silly fool and remained in this state until he died from excessive bleeding.

To be able to do something like this, even when Leon asked himself honestly, it was obvious that throughout the entire world, there were few who were capable of doing so, not to mention the entire Kingdom of the Blue Moon.

He was sure he could do it. Of all the people he knew, Satan and Gerald should be able to do it, and Tu Ya’an was probably able to do it too. Other than these few... one or two from the Sea race and probably one or two from the Orc Empire would also be able to do it. There would also be people from the Mifata Federation and the Kingdom of Light capable of something like that.

However, the total number of all these people would not exceed the total number of fingers on two hands.

There were no more than 10 such supreme masters in the world, so why would they pit themselves against such an ordinary character like Fish Ilo? And even go to the extent of specifically executing such means to cause such a big commotion?

Assuming that it had been Leon himself who wanted to kill Fish, he probably would have gone looking for Fish in the middle of the night and stab him right through his heart. He would arrive as quietly as possible and leave as quietly as he could, without leaving the slightest trace of his presence.

If he put himself in the shoes of others, the masters he knew would probably do the same. They would never do something so strange like that person because this was really too painful.

This was why Leon could not help but ponder, since when did the world have such a master?

Could they be... from another world?

Within the Big Circulation of the Ring of the World, there were countless worlds distributed all over. Many of these worlds were inhabited by living creatures, and many of these living creatures included masters who could be found everywhere. For example, a few years ago, there were masters from the famous mechanical realm coming over to the mortal world to participate in the Fighter Championship.

Just that... masters who were at the advanced legendary or an even higher level were extremely rare in any world. They were almost at the apex of the pyramid of power. Why would a figure like that quietly sneak into the mortal world and take special pains to antagonize Fish, who was an insignificant character not worth mentioning at all?

Leon frowned and lit some incense that could calm his mind. Amidst the light and delicate fragrance, he slowly calmed down. Silently, he chanted the incantation and activated the spell.

A scrambled scene of colors flickered before his eyes until it gradually took on the appearance of Ilo City.

It was not the Ilo City that had imposed Martial Law within its city due to the sudden death of its city lord, but the calm and stable Ilo City where nothing had yet to happen.

It was just like he had traveled back in time to the way things were a few days ago.

In fact, he was traveling back in time to trace the past and investigate what had happened.

This spell was similar to “Recall Time,” but it had greater restrictions and consumption. And it also lacked freedom. However, it was much more convenient than “Recall Time” if there was a specific incident and a relatively accurate time and venue as reference.

Becoming a shadow that did not really exist, Leon floated in the sky above Ilo City and searched for traces of Fish Ilo.

Because he was just a shadow, he was unable to find Fish by detecting his breath. He could only search based on his experience and wisdom.

A while later, he found Fish’s ride, which was a pack of powerful dragons.

The pack of dragons was languorously crouching at the door of a small yet elegant house. There were several guards on both sides of the door, and all of them were well-equipped. They all stood with their heads held up, exuding an air of complacency and arrogance.

Seems like, this is it.

Leon made a move in his mind. Then his figure descended very quickly and flew into the house.

He was very clear about the architectural style of the Kingdom of the Blue moon. Adding on his previous experience working as a Solitary Robber, it was easy to locate the bedroom of this house. He flew straight to it.

But before he could reach the bedroom door, he was dealt with a sudden shock that made him stop dead in his tracks.

He clearly felt that someone was watching him from the bedroom.

Who is it?

Before he had the time to ask, he felt his body shake and the image he saw before his eyes shattered like a mirror. Then everything disappeared without a trace.

Leon coughed a couple of times and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he frowned.

Exactly what kind of a character was this person who could detect a spy from the future?

No... was that really a “person” in that bedroom?
