There are six mages of the school of life. This is a standard funeral team. At that time, three people will perform the decomposition ceremony of the body, and the other three will ensure that the body is not affected by supernatural forces in the decomposition process.


    In other words, if a mage of the city of ten thousand dharmas had signed a contract with the devil for his soul before his death, in most cases, his soul would be protected from the devil under the protection of the last three mages of the school of life.


    The same is true for similar operations. The so-called entering the natural cycle of the school of life refers to letting the dead die like ordinary people without being affected by any external magic. In fact, the starting point of this concept is good.


    As cheese often says, most casters can''t die well. After stepping into the door of magic, their spirit suffers too much loss that shouldn''t be in the normal life process, which is more prone to problems.


    Reflected in individuals, the strangeness of personality is only the most basic, and mental illness and madness have long been common. The most important thing is that many magic factions themselves will overdraw the original vitality of users. This overdraft will not only affect the body, but also affect the spirit, and even the possible soul. This is why many ghosts and ghosts are more or less related to magic before they die.


    The process of purifying corpses can reduce these problems as much as possible.


    However, this ceremony is sometimes thought to be too thorough. Especially those who deal with corpses, such as spies, "why do we have to perform rituals now? The body should be kept for three days, which is the rule. "


    In terms of status or position, the mage leading the purification ceremony must be more noble than Russell, but the red haired mage did not hesitate to block it. The reason is very simple, because he knows that after this ceremony, the headless body behind him will completely disappear. In a more popular word, he will disappear.


    If the secular cremation can still leave incombustible ashes, the magic of the life faction has no such problem at all. The corpses treated by them will disappear like the literal meaning, without any trace of existence, and nothing will be left. After all, the mage''s bones, skin and other body organs may also be used.


    "It is stipulated that the remains of all the casters in the city should be handled by the school of life. As for the time of handling, there is no absolute requirement. Three days is just a conventional time limit. No one said that the body would not be disposed of until three solar and lunar rotations. Especially this one, don''t you feel sad for the dead when you see him? How could you and your colleagues have the heart to make him look like this? If you are allowed to do it, you will not use spells to affect parts of the body. So the more you stop it, the sooner it needs to enter the cycle. There''s nothing to argue about, Mr. spy. "


    "Why did we dissect him? That''s precisely because of the strange way he died. Your duty is to ensure that we enjoy death calmly, and our duty is to prevent those who have caused involuntary death from continuing to commit crimes. Therefore, we need him to tell us the clues of the murderer in the only way left, which is for the sake of law and justice. Just as we follow the path of magic, so do the laws of this city. You can''t go beyond your authority. "


    Russell''s tone and expression were very serious. His words were not only out of the need of investigation, but also out of the attitude of a mage of the secret instrument school and a law enforcer of the city of ten thousand laws.


    "Magic is the undiscovered side of the world. We are not the makers of magic, just as we are not the givers of life. We gather here by law and justice, like lions and bees. But this does not mean that the regulations we set up the day after tomorrow can have the right to override more essential things. Spy, whether you can find out the murderer or not, no matter what the result is, the dead can''t come back to life. In that case, what we should do is to let the dead greet death in a calm way, not because your regulations will still be insulted without dignity and reason after death. And this is our authority. You are the one who exceeds your authority. "


    "You..." Russell certainly has thousands of words to fight back. Most mages are eloquent and quick thinking, otherwise they can''t deal with the tricky problems of their mentor. But Kellas stopped him.


    "Let them do it. This is a clue in itself. " With a provocative smile on the corners of the cat goblin''s mouth, he looked at the leading life school mage, and sure enough, he caught a fleeting change from each other''s face.


    "Not everything will be part of your investigation. The connection between things is not so strong most of the time. We are also ordered to act and do not mean to target you. "


    "Yes, yes, yes." The cat fairy said, carelessly took Russell away from the morgue, and then looked at the mages behind him and whispered, "what are you explaining?"


    "You just let them ignore the rules?" Russell obviously had a lingering anger. After leaving the room, he immediately questioned the responsible mage, who could only spread his hand and make a helpless expression.


    "I tried to stop it, and you saw it. I can''t help it if they insist on breaking in. Besides, this group of people was originally responsible for the body treatment of this outpost. We still need to cooperate later... "


    The red haired spy didn''t finish listening to the other party''s explanation and turned away. However, Kairas and the mage nodded slightly, which did not hurry or slow down to keep up with Russell''s footsteps.


    "Why are you walking so fast? If you walk fast, you can catch people? " The cat goblin said leisurely, as if it was not affected by what happened just now.


    But people familiar with him know that if the old cat suddenly becomes kind, it must have a plot. It is precisely because he has a bigger plan in mind that he can not care about the gains and losses at present, and even hope to take the initiative to lose something to ensure that the later situation can proceed smoothly.


    "Of course, I can''t catch it." Russell was very angry, but he didn''t vent his anger on others. When he heard carras''s question, his high tone slowly sank down. Looks a little depressed.


    "It''s not a shame. Nine people in front of you have seen the body, but they still haven''t caught the murderer? In the final analysis, we''re here just for luck. Now it seems that luck is better than expected. Wait, I''ll tell you my speculation. Go back to cheese and tell him the situation. By the way, I remember he said, you mages have some painting skills because you want to draw Dharma array, right? "


    Russell blinked and didn''t understand the meaning of Kellas''s words, but he nodded. "I really know a little about painting. When I was an intern in the Institute, I helped draw several plant brochures."


    "That''s much easier. Go back and draw the details of the body you just saw as much as possible. Since you and I may be the last group to see the body and not belong to the school of life, this will be crucial. "


    "OK, that''s a good proposal. But won''t you go back with me? " As they walked out of the post, the spy looked at the active Kairas and said.


    "No, I found new entertainment. You know, tracking prey is always the most pleasant part of a hunt. "
