The next day, when the sun rose high into the sky and people began to come and go on the streets, a shocking scream came from Earl Robert's residence.
When the servant girl in the maid costume escaped in a sorry state, the passers-by who only realized it later got a shocking piece of news from the servant girl's stammering explanation.
Earl Robert had been killed!
From the 3rd rank and above, everyone related to the Robert family, including Connes Robert, was killed. There were more than 100 people.
Blood dyed the ground red.
The once luxurious Palace of the Earl had now become a dead house.
This news quickly swept through the entire Imperial City like a hurricane, even reaching the ears of the Emperor.
"What? Earl Robert was killed?"
"Exterminated?"
"Who is it? He was actually so bold. He was an earl with real power!!”
Everyone who received this news, whether they were ordinary people or high and mighty nobles, was shocked beyond words.
This was not an ordinary noble, but a real earl. His status was high, and he was a big shot in the capital.
"Investigate thoroughly!"
In the palace, Emperor Andrew roared. He was completely enraged.
With the Emperor's order, the entire Imperial City was activated. A group of elite knights left the Imperial Palace and quickly headed to Earl Robert's residence.
The death of a powerful noble was too serious a matter. Not only were the most elite knights dispatched, but even a powerhouse of the ninth step was dispatched.
In the Palace of the Earl, a middle-aged knight in exquisite armor bowed slightly to the old man in front of him.
"Greetings, Ardent Fire Great Wizard!"
It was an old man wearing a fiery red magic robe. His white beard drooped down, and his face was ruddy and full. He looked extremely energetic.
There was a nine-patterned badge on his magic robe, symbolizing his strength.
Tier 9 Great Wizard.
A true top-notch powerhouse was only inferior to a super powerful existence below the saint-tier. A ninth-tier spell had the terrifying power to destroy an army of tens of thousands.
"Thank you!"
The middle-aged knight was very respectful. Even though he was the vice-captain of the Holy Knights and a powerhouse of the eighth step, he still had to be respectful when facing a Great Mage of the ninth step.
"It's fine. This old man can't neglect such a big matter!”The Ardent Fire Great Wizard shook his head. He was not impatient.
He did not dare to neglect the death of an Earl with real power.
"It's a pity for Earl Robert. I've even interacted with him a few times!”The Ardent Fire Great Wizard sighed, his tone carrying a hint of pity.
In front of him were many corpses. It was Constance and the others, including two powerhouses of the seventh step.
"Looks like the murderer is very strong. Even a Type 7 expert was killed in one blow!”When he saw the corpses of the two Tier 7 powerhouses, the Ardent Fire Great Wizard's expression turned grave.
He killed them in one blow, cleanly beheading the two Type 7 powerhouses without even giving them a chance to resist.
Such strength, even a peak Rank-8 powerhouse might not have it.
"Ninth rank?"
the Ardent Fire Wizard muttered to himself.
Things that involved a Type 9 powerhouse, even the Empire could not underestimate them.
"It's precisely a Type 9 powerhouse that needs you to take action!”The middle-aged knight said helplessly. The combat ability of the knights might be very strong, but finding the murderer was not something they were good at.
If they wanted to find the murderer, they could only ask a 9th Tier Great Mage to cast the 9th Tier Spell, Mirror of Backtrack.
This was also why a 9th Tier Great Mage was dispatched.
Only a 9th Tier Great Wizard could use Backtrack.
This spell of the ninth step did not have any lethality, but it involved a trace of the laws of time. It could turn back the time in a certain area to a day ago.
Of course, the time reversal here did not really turn back time. Instead, it was in the form of an image.
True Time Reversal was not something a mere Tier 9 spell could achieve.
"No problem!" The Ardent Fire Great Wizard stroked his beard. He had also come for this reason.
"Boom!"
With a wave of his hand, everyone retreated. The Ardent Fire Great Mage's expression was grave as an exquisite magic staff appeared in his hand. He tapped the air lightly, and a terrifying mana instantly condensed.
Fiery red Mana rapidly condensed, affecting the surrounding environment. It was like a storm, forming a hurricane that shocked everyone.
Such a pure and huge amount of mana was enough to kill a powerhouse of the seventh step even if it was not formed into a spell.
Ninth-grade spells, even for ninth-grade Great Mages, required a period of recitation. It was impossible for them to be cast instantly.
"Great Elf of Time…"
An ancient incantation came out of the Ardent Fire Great Wizard's mouth, bringing with it an indescribable magical fluctuation. A mysterious power began to emerge.
Not only was this power mysterious, but it was also extremely powerful, causing the knights nearby to be terrified and in awe.
This was a grade-9 mage, wielding the power of heaven and earth. Even as knights, they were shocked.
" Tier 9 Spell, Mirror of Backtrack!"
The Ardent Fire Great Wizard's face was slightly pale. He lightly tapped the wand in his hand, and terrifying mana surged out like a tide. In the void, an incomparably gorgeous mirror appeared.
It was a silver-white mirror, about three meters long. The surface of the mirror was smooth and translucent, and a mysterious power circulated around it, just like the legendary Mirror of Fate.
"Buzz…"
The silver-white mirror shone, and a mysterious power shone on the corpses. Following that, the transparent mirror began to turn back, and various scenes began to appear.
"I see it!"
The middle-aged knight stared at the mirror. When many scenes appeared, his face revealed joy, and his heart became more and more respectful.
This was what a mage was like. They possessed mysterious and powerful powers.
Perhaps with pure strength, the warrior was not afraid of the mage, but in terms of strangeness and all-rounder.
Mages, on the other hand, were ten times more powerful than warriors.
" Wait, what's that?!"
However, when he recalled the death of Connes and the others, the middle-aged knight's expression changed drastically.
The Ardent Fire Great Wizard looked up as well, and his face was filled with shock and horror.
In the mirror, a demonic red light replaced everything. The entire mirror seemed to be dyed red. In the scene displayed, a ferocious scarlet shadow held a huge sickle, like a death god from the underworld, wantonly harvesting lives.
Under the sickle, be it a Type 7 expert or a normal person, they were all like pigs and dogs, being easily harvested.
The scarlet light and evil aura made everyone present tremble.
"This aura…Demonic Tribe!"
The Ardent Fire Great Wizard's eyes were filled with fear. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and spoke slowly.
"Demonic Tribe?" The middle-aged knight was stunned. He did not understand what the Demonic Tribe was.
"Don't investigate this matter anymore!"
The Ardent Fire Great Wizard shook his head and retracted his mana. The mirror in the void shattered, and everything returned to normal.
Then, he put away his magic staff and turned to leave.
"I will report this matter to His Majesty. You'd better not investigate!”
The middle-aged knight had a strange expression on his face as he watched the Ardent Fire Great Mage leave.
The Ardent Fire Great Wizard seemed to be afraid?
" Demonic Tribe…" the middle-aged knight whispered.
What kind of race could make a Tier 9 Great Wizard so afraid that he didn't even dare to investigate?!
