"If this is the case, it is unlikely to be caused by poisoning." Tang Jiumin said secretly.
There must be traces of poisoning, no matter what the source of the poisoning is, in essence, it is a state caused by the outside world, so Sola's death is not caused by poisoning.
What would that be?
The situation in front of him is really weird.
At this moment, Tang Jiumin suddenly remembered a sentence mentioned by Robert Rotte, saying that he felt that the city lord was coughing up black blood, as if he was cursed.
"By the way, curse!"
If there is anything in this dungeon world that cannot be explained by science, what Tang Jiumin knows so far is the curse!
Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen pigs running? Tang Jiumin also watches some Western movies in his spare time, so he naturally understands what the curse is.
At this time, Tang Jiumin stood up and walked away from the corpse. He began to search the entire room.
He was just at the position where Sola fell, judging the direction he faced last before he was alive, and walked to a table with scrolls spread out on it.
""
Tang Jiumin narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't touch the spread scroll with his hands, because he could understand the text on it and it was very ordinary, but this scroll was very strange.
The entire scroll, regardless of the material used or the paint used to write the text, is that rare purple. Judging from the current era, it may be difficult to make this purple.
Not only that, but one side of the scroll was stained with a little blood, but it had completely turned into yellow-green rotting blood.
All this made Tang Jiu's heart vigilant, so he took a pot of flowers from the side and placed it sideways on the scroll.
Not long after, the potted flower appeared in the same situation as Sola.
Although Tang Jiumin was wearing a black face towel, he could smell a rotten smell, and this smell came from the flowerpot.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Jiumin saw that the flowers in the flowerpot had slumped and looked as if they were dead, losing their vitality.
Since the flowerpot was placed sideways on the scroll, and Tang Jiumin was very careful, he purposely only placed half of it sideways on the scroll, leaving half empty outside the scroll.
Even so, Tang Jiumin still didn't touch it with his hands, and used a dagger to pull out the flower pot, and it fell to the ground with a bang.
Tang Jiumin squatted down, poked open the soil with a dagger, and cut open the rhizome of the flower. He saw that the parts inside had all rotted and turned yellow-green, exactly the same as Sola's heart at that time.
The facts are already obvious.
The scroll contained some kind of cursed power that caused Sora's death.
After finding out the reason, Tang Jiumin threw aside the blood-stained dagger, looked at the corpse on the ground, and took out a delicate glass bottle from his backpack.
And while Tang Jiumin was inspecting the corpse.
The South Gate of Alto City.
In normal times, it is the gate with the most traffic among the four gates of Alto City. After all, it faces the direction of the empire. Merchants and mercenaries from the empire must pass through the south gate if they want to go outside the empire or come to the border to do business. .
The most prosperous.
Today, there are still many people at the South Gate, but the atmosphere is completely different.
Robert Lott took Kari and the three of them, took the trail and rushed to the south gate one step ahead of time. They met the former prisoners waiting to be allocated houses at the old barracks at the south gate.
Unlike Kari and Tal Dolma who wanted to use force to threaten the prisoners to do things, Roberto and Huo Shen advocated that the prisoners cooperate with them to intercept the city lord.
Among them, Roberto's role has completely exceeded expectations. The man who had been in the prison with these prisoners from the beginning, by virtue of his identity as a knight, the relationship between his inmates, and his identity as a ranger, successfully summoned these vicious men. only.
Under Robert Lott's eloquent narration, hundreds of people here learned that there were monsters that could infect people at the city lord's mansion, and they needed to stop the city lord who was about to escape.
Although Robert Lott is tall and thick, he has a wealth of experience as a knight-errant. He is very good at what to say and what not to say.
He told the prisoners that the mayor of the city may be under control, because everyone in the city's mansion said that the city's owner at this time was completely different from the previous one.
Be sure to stop the city lord and ask what is going on, so as to resolve the crisis in Alto City.
The prisoners living in the barracks responded one after another.
Soon, everyone fenced off the city gate on the south gate side.The entire city was blocked, and not only the city gates. Under the leadership of Robert Lott, Carrey and others, hundreds of people stretched the interception front, and they blocked the main roads out of the city nearby.
At this time, the sound of horseshoes in the distance became clearer.
Not long after, the city lord arrived with his guards.
"Damn it, you dare to block the city gate without authorization, these bloody untouchables!" Seeing the way out blocked by a pile of heavy objects, the city lord cursed viciously.
Next to him, there were two captains of the guards. They all showed surprised expressions when they heard the words of the city lord, and turned their heads to look at the city lord quickly.
At this moment, the city lord's face was gloomy, completely different from his usual approachable.
What happened today, Lord City Lord?
"My lord, I'll go up and ask them to evacuate. They are all heroes who defended the city before. Maybe they misunderstood something because of the changes in the city and wanted to defend against monsters." One of the captains of the guards said to the city lord.
The city lord brought the guards here, because they had reinforcements to support them. When encountering monsters, it was probably a conspiracy of the orcs. They must try to get in touch with the reinforcements in time, otherwise the orcs may have bigger moves.
"No."
However, the city lord raised his hand slightly, but directly rejected the proposal of the guard captain.
The city lord simply ordered: "Listen to my orders, lead the soldiers, and break through the defense line as quickly as possible!"
The proposed guard captain couldn't help saying: "But this will lose a lot of people, and"
"I can't afford to delay! They must have been bought by the orcs, so hurry up and obey my orders!"
The city lord interrupted the captain of the guard irritably, and he gave an order to let all the soldiers break through the barrier forcibly.
"Yes." The captain of the guard had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart.
No way, the captains of the guards on the left and right sides of the city lord took orders and rushed forward with the soldiers.
"coming."
On the opposite side, Roberto lowered his voice and reminded the people around him. He said, "Where are the round wooden stakes that were found from the camp just now? Roll those dozens of round wooden stakes towards them!"
"coming!"
A round wooden column is about 20 meters long, less than half a meter high, and quite heavy.
The prisoners, almost in groups of ten, worked together to lift the round wooden pillars, and rolled them out from behind the earth bags they had piled up, and rolled them towards the rushing army.
"Attention! Slow down!"
Among the two captains of the guards, one reacted in time, shouted loudly, and led the soldiers to hide aside. It was precisely because he dodged in time that the entire army faced this sudden attack without any confusion.
Behind the piled-up earthbag, Roberto saw that the log did not cause any casualties to the city lord, so he couldn't help clenching his fists and pounding heavily on the earthbag.
But at this time, Huo Shen had already taken out his bow and arrow, aiming at the positions where the two guard captains were.
