Carl had been an orphan since he was young and had grown up alone in this world. He could not understand the feelings of Michael and the others. He searched for a while and said, "There seems to be the aura of a demon wolf. And there seemed to be traces of black magic."
"Black magic?" A familiar face suddenly appeared in Michael's mind.
Was it Miller?
They had no contact with the black mages. And the conditions of this village were not enough to attract real black mages.
After thinking about it, the only person who had connections with black magic and had the motivation to do this was Miller.
Mr. Royce obviously thought of this as well. He began to search the ruins of the house more seriously. Michael clenched his fists. He did not expect Miller to be so despicable as to attack his family. However, his cautiousness had brought trouble and danger to his most cherished sister.
Carl released his vines. The green vines quickly spread in all directions, capturing all minute information. He restored what had happened here a few days ago and transmitted it to Carl's mind.
A small vine found a piece of paper surrounded by magic in the corner of the house. In this dilapidated ruin, the letter had been placed in a hidden place, but it was inexplicably well preserved as if it was deliberately protected by magic.
Carl picked up the letter. "Captain, I found a clue. Come and take a look."
Michael took the letter and sensed a familiar aura from it. He briefly glanced at its contents, and his expression gradually became increasingly angry. In the end, he couldn't restrain himself and punched the wall. The house originally on the verge of collapse completely collapsed after this attack, turning into a pile of ruins.
"Do you like the gift I gave you? How does it feel to lose everything? Do you feel especially good?" Miller's name was written in a flamboyant manner.
So that was how it was. Michael understood everything. He remembered that Miller had magic beast control potions on him, which was why he hadn't led his team to deal with Miller.
But what Michael did not expect was that Miller had actually investigated this small village and even used black magic to lure magic beasts to this small village. It was as if he could take revenge on Michael by doing this.
"Let's go find the village chief," Michael said after calming down for a while. The chief was the only person with magic power in the village. Even if he could not resist the attack of the magic beasts, he should have no problem protecting himself. Without knowing who the person who issued the mission was, he could not find the person who issued the mission to get more detailed information. Looking for the village chief was the fastest way to get information.
At the black magic base.
A few days ago, as Miller wandered in the dark forest depths, he discovered the black magician's base accidentally. These black mages had actually set up their base in the deepest part of the dark forest. Mages rarely set foot here. Occasionally, high-level mages would come here to search for alchemy materials, but they would also come and go in a hurry. They would rarely stay here for long, let alone explore.
No wonder these black mages chose this place. The dangers of the Dark Forest were actually used by them as a protective layer to avoid the mages.
Miller peeked at everything that had happened through the spying spell he had left in the village and smiled in satisfaction.
When he realized Michael had found the note he had left behind, he laughed even more crazily. The laughter shook his empty chest. Miller was dazed for a moment before he continued laughing.
Miller's heart had never grown back after he had used it to refine potions.
However, he felt that all of this was worth it. He was worried that Michael would not be able to find the letter he had left behind or that he would not be able to find out about all of this. Miller had intentionally destroyed all the houses in the village, leaving only Michael's house standing there. Only then did he use magic to protect his letter and throw it into Michael's house?
Miller even deliberately left the village chief behind to watch him rush over to issue the bounty mission. Unfortunately, Royce's sister had escaped halfway, and Miller couldn't find the girl even after searching everywhere. Otherwise, Miller would have placed Royce's sister's body in the middle of Michael's house.
Thinking of this, Miller felt a little regretful. Otherwise, when Michael walked through the door and saw his most important sister, he would be tortured to the point where she would become a corpse. Miller found that scene interesting, but the scene before him was also very interesting.
Although Miller had sacrificed his heart to take revenge on Michael's potion, he could still feel the pain in his empty chest from time to time. However, as long as he could avenge Michael, Miller felt everything was worth it.
At the village chief's house in Y Village.
Michael walked to the village chief's house, according to his memory. The originally clean three-story building had become a pile of ruins. In its place, a simple tent was set up with wood and cloth.
Hearing that someone was coming, the village chief walked out of the tent and knelt in front of Michael with tears in his eyes. "You're finally here. You don't know. A few days ago, a group of demon wolves suddenly rushed into our village and went into a rampage. They destroyed our houses and even bit many villagers to death.
"I'm old, and my magic power isn't good enough. I can't protect them." The village chief continued with tears in his eyes, "You're the most promising person in our village. We've all watched you grow up. You must avenge us and drive the demon wolf away."
Michael helped the village chief up as he made a judgment. With the size of the demon wolf, it could only chase after the villagers, but it was absolutely impossible for it to destroy so many houses.
In addition, this place was filled with traces of black magic. Miller probably followed them here. While commanding the magic wolves to kill, he used black magic to turn all the houses in the village into ruins. However, he didn't know where Miller was or whether that guy was still in the village.
If he were still in the village and waited for Michael and the others to clash with the demon wolves, Miller would suddenly launch a sneak attack. As for Michael and the others, they were in danger. He still remembered the strange Life Connection Talisman on Michael's body. The charm was extremely powerful on someone as reckless as Miller, and it gave Michael a headache.
Thinking of this, Michael asked the village chief, "Are you sure that only the magic wolves invaded this time? Are there others?"
The village chief shrunk his body and did not dare to speak. Under Mr. Royce's persuasion, he said, trembling, "There's another person with a terrifying appearance. That person controls the demon wolf to attack everywhere. After that, that person disappeared."
Michael and the others looked at each other when they heard this description, and they thought of a person at the same time.
As expected, Miller had come to the village for revenge.
