Magic Chef Of Ice And Fire

MCIF Chapter 14

Chapter 14.1 – Menacing Goddess Worshipper

After hearing the Second Manager’s story, the Ice Snow Goddess’s Worshipper slowly nodded. “Magic Reaper, huh? It looks like there should have been more than one person at that time. You are quite intelligent to be able to find some clues on the cause of death from the condition of Third Liao’s body. You are correct to think that the cause of his death wasn’t from the Exploding Flame. Before the Exploding Flame, his head was already injured by ice magic, and his brain immediately suffered a baptism of ice. The Exploding Flame was just a cover; he had already died from the ice magic. As you can all see, although his head was a bit charred, it was still kept intact because of the initial freezing. By examining it with my spirit force, I was able to discover a very small wound, the size of a needle. He was killed by an attack shaped into something similar to a needle. Moreover, his head clearly had the aura of the Ice Snow Goddess’s stone. It’s obvious that this attack was created through the use of the Ice Snow Goddess’s stone. This killer is a mage with an extremely high magic control power. To be able to condense the ice into something akin to a needle and to use it to pierce through hard skull, he should have at least the strength of a Magic Scholar, the presence of a fire mage clearly only serve as a cover. With the combination of two Magic Killers would that scenario be plausible. Long Zhi, use all possible means to gather all the ice Magic Scholars here. Whoever has the Ice Snow Goddess’s stone aura on his body is the murderer.”

Long Zhi hesitated, then all of a sudden, said, “Goddess’s Worshipper, I think that there shouldn’t be a mage under my leadership who could be the killer. You should also know that on the continent, a mages’ status is very high. Considering the identity of Third Manager Liao, I fear there was no need to use a Magic Scholar rank mage to dispose of him. Two mages teaming and coordinating to kill, just this point is clearly fishy enough. I still hope you can wisely reexamine this matter.””

The Goddess’s Worshipper clearly had a good opinion of Long Zhi. She didn’t ruthlessly rebuke him, like she did with the Marquis, and calmly said, “Although what you said is rational, however, there is also a saying, ‘One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature’. You bring all of them here. I’ll be the one inspecting them, and naturally, everything will soon be clear. It looks like it won’t be too long until I obtain the Ice Snow Goddess’s stone; the number of ice Magic Scholars are very few. That man lurking in the shadows is far from simple. Do it as I have advised you. In a fight, you must settle everything in the shortest amount of time. At the same time, divide the other mages under your command to guard the four gates of Ice Snow city. Do you understand what I mean?”

Long Zhi respectfully nodded his head and replied, “I’m taking my leave then.” As he finished speaking, his whole body flashed with green light. By the time everyone returned to their senses, he had already disappeared. The Ice Snow Goddess’s Worshiper’s eyes displayed a strange light. She inwardly thought that Long Zhi truly deserved to be called as the continent’s most outstanding magic genius. He was merely fifty something years old, but his wind magic had already reached the point of perfection. If he received some guidance, maybe, in less than twenty years, Ice Moon Empire would see the appearance of another Divine Descendant, a wind Divine Descendant. However, did he really need to work so hard? The Ice’ God’s Pagoda’s dignity must not be infringed upon.

Nian Bing was chopping firewood inside the firewood house. It hadn’t been long since he answered, but dodged most, of Uncle Li‘s questions with great difficulty. The Clever King of the kitchen, Ming Yuan shocked him. His proficient cooking skills were in no way attainable through practice alone. He really deserved to be the head chef of Pure Wind House. Contrary to what he had imagined, there was still some difference between him and Ming Yuan. In fact, if they were to cook the same Golden Aromatic Ring, even at his fastest, he would be a bit slower than Ming Yuan. Although Ming Yuan had already figured out a few things about him, but Xue Jing had yet to find anything. Perhaps, she helped him learn about Ming Yuan’s Golden Aromatic Ring in order to compensate for the slap which still marked his face red.
