Chapter 189: Storm Mage
Chapter 189 Storm Mage
"Do you know who he is?"
Monis gazed at the wine glass in his hand and posed the question to the crowd.
Gus took a sip of wine and said, "I have heard about this matter as well."
"The visitor is not someone to be trifled with."
"If it were just an ordinary Archmage, it would be one thing, but I heard the one coming to Maple City for revenge is the Vice President of the Frostland City Mages Association."
Levi took a sip of his drink and asked, "Then do you know the names of his deceased disciple and grand-disciple?"
Monis said, "One seems to be a Tier Three Mage, called Mi-something, and there was another Tier One Mage, I cannot remember."
Gus said, "Milus and Weeks."
Levi remained impassive, yet secretly startled in his heart.
He thought that by destroying the bodies and erasing all traces, the matter would be concluded.
He did not expect Milus to have a master who was a Vice President of the Mages Association.
Levi was also somewhat puzzled.
He had ground the bones to ash and scattered them.
How did the other party find their way to Maple City?
How did he know the murderer was in Maple City?
Levi became secretly vigilant in his heart.
Although he did not obtain detailed news about the God Sacrifice Ritual, he gained an even more important piece of information.
If not for this conversation with Merson and the others, with the enemy already at the door, Levi would still remain unaware.
After finishing the meal, Levi refused to let Jimmy escort him back.
"Jimmy, you escort President Merson back, he is much drunker than I am."
"You need not worry, I am a mage, no one dares to do anything to me within Maple City."
"Alright, no need to see me off, goodbye."
Levi hurried back to the Mage Tower.
He found Guze and asked him about certain matters.
"Teacher, suppose there are no clues at all, only a location where the incident occurred, wanting to find the murderer, is it possible?"
Hearing this, Guze stopped what he was doing with his hands.
He pondered for a moment and said, "If one wants to find them, it is not impossible."
"Even without any clues, there are ways to find the murderer."
"For example, diviners, and the Minor Prophecy Spell... if there are items left by the deceased or the murderer, it becomes even easier."
"Having said that, finding a diviner is itself a difficult matter."
"The Minor Prophecy Spell is even a spell that even Archmages find difficult to master."
"The simplest method is actually to entrust it to a professional detective."
"There is a saying, if you wish others not to know, you must not do it yourself, detectives are always adept at finding murderers from clues."
"What? Are you looking for someone?"
Guze looked at Levi and asked.
Levi shook his head and said, "No, I just encountered something today, asking out of curiosity."
"Nothing else, Teacher, I will head back first."
Levi returned to his room.
Lost in thought.
It seems merely destroying the bodies and erasing traces cannot completely conceal one's evidence of guilt.
Whether it is the diviner's divination art, or the Minor Prophecy Spell's guidance of fate.
All were extremely unreasonable.
"Troublesome, I do not know if he knows I am here, or already knows my identity."
This is crucial.
If the other party does not know the murderer is Levi, he can still find a way to muddle through this matter.
If the other party already knows the murderer is Levi, he can only confront them head-on.
With his current means, wanting to kill an Archmage.
One can only say it is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
He can unleash the power of a Tier Four spell, but this does not mean he rivals a Tier Four Mage.
Levi only had a sliver of hope to kill the other party.
"For this period I will not go out, but information must be collected, best to figure out exactly what background this Archmage has?"
Monis and Gus said he is the Vice President of the Frostland City Mages Association.
This information is far too vague.
Levi needs to know more detailed information, only then can he formulate targeted tactical strategies.
For the following few days, Levi stayed within the Mage Tower for hidden cultivation, not stepping out once.
While busy cultivating spells and improving his strength, he did not remain idle.
He sent out Shadow Servants and Phantasmal Bodies to collect information outside.
Controlling the Phantasmal Body to walk outside for a day.
Levi suddenly understood why Toresta always liked to use Phantasmal Bodies to travel the world. Using Phantasmal Bodies is indeed much more convenient.
If the Phantasmal Body could also inherit his own strength, that would be even more delightful.
The first day, no harvest.
For three consecutive days, there was no news.
On the fourth day, the Phantasmal Body heard some rumors outside.
That Archmage did not go to the Mages Association.
Because this time he came specifically for revenge, naturally he could not face the Maple City Mages Association openly.
The person capable of killing his disciple must possess strength above a Tier Three Mage.
A mage of this level, the Mages Association would not allow him to act and kill freely.
When the time comes, both parties will inevitably come into conflict.
So he simply did not go to see the people of the Mages Association.
Li Wei finally came to know the other party's name.
Storm Mage Tyr!
The opponent was even a Title Mage.
Archmages capable of earning a title were no ordinary figures.
Li Wei felt the matter growing increasingly thorny.
After several days of investigation, Li Wei finally located Tyr's residence.
He dwelt within the manor of the Rainster family.
The Rainster family revered him exceedingly, sparing no effort to help him hunt the murderer within Maple Leaf City.
Li Wei had also learned news of Tyr from the lips of the Rainster family members.
The Rainster family had even issued a bounty.
Whoever could help find the murderer would receive a generous reward of one thousand gold coins.
It made Li Wei tempted to tie himself up and hand himself over.
There were some audacious souls who took false information to deceive the Rainster family.
The result was that several hanged ghosts appeared at the gate of the Rainster family estate.
Tyr seemed to possess some method to distinguish truth from falsehood.
With intelligence gathered to this point, Li Wei mostly understood the situation.
The good news was that Tyr did not yet know the murderer was himself.
The bad news was that Tyr seemed capable of locking onto the murderer's location.
Currently, the scope had already been narrowed down to within Maple Leaf City.
No one knew if next time Tyr would narrow the scope of suspicion directly to the Mage Tower.
The time left for Li Wei was not much.
"What is to be done?"
Li Wei felt somewhat troubled as well.
He glanced at the space ring belonging to Milus in his hand.
"Is it because of this?"
He carefully probed with spiritual energy over a dozen times, yet discovered no abnormality whatsoever.
If Tyr was using fate-type spells, discarding the space ring would be useless.
Sooner or later, he would be found.
Li Wei raised his head to look toward the tower top.
He lowered his head and shook it.
Without reaching the final moment, there was no need to take this step.
If Torresta intervened, he would in all likelihood protect him.
But everything he had done would be fully exposed.
The strength he had always hidden would also be exposed.
Li Wei racked his brains, searching for a way to break the deadlock.
Tyr's strength was beyond doubt.
A Title Mage.
Li Wei had no possibility of winning face-to-face, and even with a surprise attack, he might not be able to kill him.
The power of a fourth-tier Archmage far exceeded ordinary imagination.
Fourth-tier and third-tier seemed to differ by only one rank.
Yet it was a difference akin to an insurmountable chasm.
A fourth-tier Archmage could easily crush a third-tier mage.
After pondering for a long time, Li Wei thought of a method that might open up the situation.
