Hall, mayor of the town of gravel.

He was not from a noble family, nor had a title, but his military career made this mayor who was decisive and fair in dealing with things was deeply loved by the people of the gravel town.

However, at this moment, the mayor was lifted out of the secret room of the "dwarf wine glass and rice bowl".

Unlike Eddie Caravan and others who had just died, the mayor not only died for quite a long time, but his body has also been treated, showing a semi-mistened appearance.

"This, how is this possible?"

"In the morning, I even greeted the mayor!"

Old Bick looked at the corpse on the ground with disbelief.

Qin Ran frowned and pondered.

Of course it wasn't because of Old Bick's words.

The "master" whom the other party greeted him in the morning must be fake, which is beyond doubt, but what Qin Ran puzzled was that since the other party killed the original mayor, pretended to be the other party, and had not been discovered for a long time, it was naturally after a long period of planning, and it was definitely not a whim.

And under such a premise, why did the other party keep the mayor's body?

It also undergoes some necessary treatment to prevent insects from gnawing at the corpse.

In Qin Ran's view, this is completely unnecessary and is a waste of time.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran squatted down and carefully examined the corpse in front of him.

There are no wounds on the surface of the body.

The bones are all gone without any damage.

"Do you kill me?"

Qin Ran guessed, and his eyes fell on the back of the corpse, where there was a tattoo: half of the sun rising from the flames.

Qin Ran is familiar with this tattoo.

In his simple memory he was instilled with, there is the origin of this tattoo: Burning dawn!

Only soldiers burning dawn have such tattoos.

"Did Hall be born in the Dawn of Burning?"

To confirm, Qin Ran asked the people around him.

"Yes, Mayor Hall was a Dawn-burning soldier ten years ago. He returned to the town of Gravel after he retired from service and served as the mayor."

"So too is that sheriff, Mr. Peters."

"The two were very close friends and comrades."

Marco, the calm, calm militia replied.

"So that's how it is."

Qin Ran's eyes swept through the secret room again to remove the things outside the body, ironware, bronzeware and some tied cowhide, and nodded thoughtfully.

...

Vaughn brought a team of four people to the mayor's office.

The young militia captain waved his hand.

One of the four militia immediately stepped forward to check the gate and gestured behind him.

The door is not locked.

The young man who understood the meaning of the gesture immediately took the remaining three people forward and pushed open the door as light as possible.

The door shaft, which has been oiled all year round, was pushed away without making a harsh sound.

The young man looked at the dark room.

Vaughan, who was born as a hunter, was not unfamiliar with darkness, and his eyes could adapt to darkness very quickly, so he soon saw the fallen mayor.

The other party looked down and couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure and clothes should be the mayor he was familiar with.

After the young man immediately gestured to his subordinates, he carefully approached the fallen mayor.

The closer you get, the more the young man's heart sinks.

Since he entered the room, he has not heard a breath from the mayor.

And when his palm touched the fallen mayor's calf, his heart sank directly into the bottom of the valley.

The stiff body is enough to tell the young man that this is a corpse.

"Damn it!"

The young man cursed in his heart.

Young people respect Hall very much. You should know that his swordsmanship, reading and literacy were taught by the other party and the long-dead sheriff Peters.

To the young militia captain, the two were teachers and family.

The death of Sheriff Peters a year ago made the young man crazy and angry, but under Hall's persuasion, the young man was still rational.

At this time, facing Hall's death, the young man who lacked persuasion was soon overwhelmed by anger.

But he did not forget Hall's body on the ground.

"I will definitely avenge you!"

With such a vow in his heart, the young man grabbed Hall's body and prepared to drag it out.

But just as the young man grabbed Hall's body with both hands at the same time, the door behind the young man, which was originally opened slammed and closed.

The four militia guarding nearby were twisted their heads for several consecutive times. With a sound of cervical vertebrae breaking, they made a muffled groan and no sound.

The young man held the sword in his hand tightly at the moment when the change occurred.

But it has no effect.

The invisible power bound the young man's body and hung the young man in mid-air.

Then…the body moved.

In a way that violates human body movement, the upper half of the body turned straight, and the muscles on the waist formed a strange spiral under such rotation.

However, compared with the other party's turbid eyes, such muscle spirals are nothing.

What kind of eyes are that!

The eyeballs are like glass balls covered with cracks. They are not only turbid, but also have a scarlet luster that is clearly visible even in this dark room.

"Vaughan, Vaughan."

"Why is it you who appears here?"

"I didn't plan to let you die so early."

The voice of Hall sounded.

"Who are you?"

The young man's body is restricted, but his voice is not restricted.

"who I am?"

"I am Hall, the mayor of the Stone Town, Hall!"

"Also, I have taught you swordsmanship and reading and literacy. You won't just forget it, right?"

The other party smiled.

"The Mayor Hall I know is not a monster like you!"

The young man said harshly.

"Anger your opponent and look for flaws?"

"Um."

"This is what I taught you in the first class, but... you don't know much!"

"I remember I told you that the prerequisite for doing this is that you must fully understand your opponent."

"And do you know me?"

"Maybe you know who I used to be."

"but!"

"You can't imagine me now!"

"I'm far beyond mortals!"

"I will let you see my power!"

The other party laughed at the young man's ignorance.

The other party slowly raised his arms, and the furniture in the room floated up with the other party's actions.

"Did you see it?"
