Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh investigation
Chapter 367: Tracking
A huge palace that is several times larger than the Qiwu Main Hall where the knighthood ceremony was held. The walls are all pure white and there are hundreds of stone pillars with gorgeous sculptures. The floor is made of precious opalescent marble. Each pillar is
On the stone pillars, there was a small fire burning, lighting up the entire dark hall.
Hundreds of seedlings flickered without wind, and occasionally there was an invisible coercion permeating the air, blurring the distinction between things and making the desolate and cold beauty of the dripping flames of the hundreds of candles in the hall even more apparent.
In the huge hall, there were only three people present, one sitting, one standing, and one kneeling.
The man sitting on the stone seat at the top of the stairs had an aura coming from him. His face could not be seen clearly. He could only hear him saying slowly in a deep voice: "Pluto, during the Magic Fighting Conference, you, as my
The Holy Cult's highest cleric in Qiwu Capital failed to bring back the young man with the magic weapon refining skills, and also caused Kololi and Tajir to disappear. One thing, three mistakes, I want to hear
Listen to your reasons."
It was cold inside the hall, and the temperature was as dry and cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter. However, Pluto kept sweating and said cautiously: "Lord Xitun, although Yi Yun is the new white-clothed bishop of our holy religion, his temperament is different from
Ordinary people, for the sake of the long term, I can't restrict his actions. Although he left without saying goodbye this time, he was also informed by Geo, the leader of the Tojanos clan. He must have taken the initiative to go to the church in Qiwu City once he returns in the future.
When reporting for duty, I have already made an explanation in advance, and it is only a matter of time before I take him to the Holy Island."
"As for the inexplicable disappearance of Kololi and Tagir, I have no clue at all. The religious rules are strict. This is definitely not the intention of the two of them. The most likely guess is that something has happened to them, and the person who did it is
...I think it should be Carruth without a doubt!”
Xitun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said slightly surprised: "Was Karus also in Qiwu City at that time?"
Nodding, Pluto said: "During the magic fight, until the end of the knighthood ceremony, he has always been there. Due to his relationship with our Holy See, coupled with his extremely bad and moody character, there was no reason in the past.
He took action to kill six senior cardinals of our holy sect. He treated even the nine-star powerhouse like this. How could the two of them, Kololi, put him in his eyes? Kill them at will, which is the usual method of that madman.
It’s absolutely inseparable from him.”
"Well..." Sitoun said in a deep voice: "If it was Karus, this matter is absolutely correct. He should be the one who did it. However, he was crazy, so how could he do it because of it?
Are you asking two minor characters who are only seven-stars to come and fight against our Holy Cult? If we really want to take action, we should target you, a nine-star peak powerhouse... This is strange.
!”
Xitun was still deep in thought, while Pluto was frightened by what he heard. If Kallus really wanted to attack him, he would have no chance at all. Even trying to escape was just a joke. It seemed that he was in front of the God of Death.
After walking around for a while, I no longer feel confused and disappointed about the disappearance of Kololi and Tagir. Instead, I feel relieved now. If I don't kill them, I might be the one who dies. They died well.
After a long while, Sitoun waved his hand and said calmly: "Forget it, they are just two insignificant people anyway. With the rank of bishop in white, I, the Vatican, can replace any one I choose at random, with almost no loss. As for Kallus' repeated visits
I will slowly settle things with him in the future for his misdeeds that caused trouble for our Holy Religion, so let’s put this matter aside for now.”
At this moment, the woman who had been standing next to Pluto, wearing all silver armor and with curly hair, suddenly said: "Sir, I don't think this matter is simple."
"Oh, Byleth, tell me what you think."
The woman named Byleth thought thoughtfully and said: "The big thing happened a while ago. Under the heavy defense of our Holy Light Village, the Green Thunder Legion was completely wiped out silently. This is a great event that our Holy See of Light has not seen in thousands of years."
scandal, and the two people who disappeared for no reason, whether it was Kololi or Tagir, were all members of the Qinglei sanctions team. Therefore, I think these two seemingly unrelated things are actually
But put it all together, the person who did it should have a huge grudge against the Blue Thunder Legion...
"Furthermore, in order to pursue this matter, even though all the powerful ones of the divine envoy level were dispatched, I still can't find a single clue. I once carefully inspected the more than three thousand broken corpses, although they were all burned to charcoal by the fire.
, but it can also be clearly seen that the body-breaking sword wounds on all the corpses are quite clumsy, and they are obviously caused by people who have not reached the Nine Stars, and they can never be done by Karus."
Having said this, Byleth said firmly: "Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the person who killed Kololi and Tagil was not Karus."
The entire annihilation of the Qing Lei Punishment Group was only exposed five days after the Qiwu Knighting Ceremony, and it was only discovered by other personnel stationed in Shengguang Village on the sixth day after Yi Yun left.
In the Holy Land of Light, more than 3,000 people in the entire regiment were slaughtered without a trace. For the Holy See of Light, which always considers itself to be the largest force in the mainland, it is a great shame and a great humiliation, and it greatly damages the supreme prestige of the Holy See.
The scandal naturally had to be concealed. Under the leadership of Sitoun, only the Vatican knew about the complete destruction of Qing Lei, and most of the powerful divine envoys were ordered to try their best to track down the real culprit behind the scenes. Byleth in front of him was a member of the Holy See.
Dao, an important member of the main team of the Knights of Light, is solely responsible for digging out the truth behind the scenes.
Pluto was also shocked when he heard this. He was not qualified to speak about the Qing Lei annihilation, but he knew the situation in Qiwu City better than the two people present. Kololi and Tagir disappeared for no reason. It was not Karus who did it.
Who it could be, I didn't agree with Byleth's guess, but she was a high-ranking priest with the rank of divine envoy, and she had no position or identity to refute what he said.
After being silent for a long time, Sitoun suddenly ordered: "Pluto, you immediately go back to Qiwu City to set up a battle. As soon as the young man appears, you will immediately bring him back to the Holy Island. In addition, send out troops who are good at concealment."
The Holy See's secret agent is always keeping an eye on the Genos family and Tianfeng Academy, which he has a cooperative relationship with. As soon as there is news about him, you must know what to do."
Pluto was stunned. It was strange to treat a new white-clothed bishop of the Holy See in this way. He didn't understand Sir Sitoun's intention, but he didn't dare to ask more and immediately accepted the order.
After traveling thousands of miles to the Holy Island to save his life, without even drinking a cup of tea, and now he had to start his journey immediately and return to Qiwu Capital. Pluto sighed in his heart, he, a cardinal, was really suffering.
After Pluto left, Sitoun said again: "Byleth, your ability to pursue and investigate is the best among all the angels. No clues can escape your eyes. I will now give you
An important task for you──
"About a year ago, a tragedy occurred in Paruoyin City, a small border town of the Qiwu Empire. Nearly a thousand city guards, as well as the local white-clothed bishops and several five-star guards of the Holy See were slaughtered overnight.
There is still no clue as to who the murderer is...and your mission is to find out whether this mysterious person is the same person as the one who slaughtered the Qinglei sanctions group."
Byleth was stunned when he heard this!
The Paruoyin tragedy is an unsolvable mystery, just because all the Paruoyin soldiers who had witnessed the tragedy and survived by chance went crazy afterward. No one could tell the story of the tragedy that night, and as the events unfolded,
As the days passed, the surviving soldiers fell into deeper madness one by one. Perhaps they could not bear the torture of endless nightmares, and they all committed suicide one after another.
Within a month after the tragedy, all the soldiers who witnessed what happened that night died, either by committing suicide or by being frightened to death in their night dreams. All clues were cut off here, whether it was the Qiwu royal family or the Holy See of Light.
No effective tracing could be carried out on this matter.
Afterwards, the blue-clothed priest who used to be in charge of the overall situation in Pa Ruoyin City cleverly preserved and placed several intact corpses that had died on the night of the massacre in a local church in a local church.
The hands and feet were severed, even the waist was bent and the head was severed. All of them bear traces of the perpetrator's massacre, which should be the only clues that can be traced in the future.
Thinking about it now, there is only one thing that is certain. From the cries of the soldiers every night before they died, we can know that the tragedy of Pa Ruoyin was caused by one person, a person of low rank and a sword wielder.
A young man with the name of "Blood-eating Demon".
Byleth's words suddenly reminded him of this unsolvable mystery. He sent Byleth there just to ask him to check the clues left on the corpses in the two places. If it was really the same person who killed him,
The enemy's tactics and the wounds caused could never escape Byleth's discernment.
After staying for a long time, Byleth asked: "Sir, how far are Paroyin City and Shengguang Village only a thousand miles apart? There is no geographical relationship at all. What do you mean..."
"Although the chance is slim, I suspect that the person who committed these two incidents may be the same person, a young boy."
"Young man? How is it possible?" Byleth said in shock: "Let's not care about the Paroyin tragedy, but the Blue Thunder Sanctioning Group, including the three thousand-man leaders including the legion commander Ebado, are all seven-star realm leaders.
The only strong person who can kill their entire group in one fell swoop can only be an eight-star strong person with a higher rank than them. This is almost certain, young man? Impossible!"
Xitun said calmly: "So, this is just my guess. As for the truth behind it, it is up to you to go to Paroyin City to investigate in person. What I want is just a definite answer!"
Byleth left with full of doubts. Sitoun stood up and walked down the steps, looked around the cold hall where there was no one else except him, and murmured: "Byleth's reminder, the person who did it must be He Qinglei Sanction
The group has a huge hatred for people. In the Qing Lei case, more than 3,000 people in the group were killed, but no body of a single fighting dog could be found. Where did they go... If we talk about the motive
, only the boy with the blood of the Stat family is the most likely."
"It's just that, not to mention that he is only at the six-star peak level now, even if he reaches the seven-star peak, there is no way that he can shield the holy land's warning demon formation and massacre the entire Qinglei group with just one person.
Sex, besides, Shengguang Village and Qiwu Capital are thousands of miles apart. Even if you take a Yalong mount, it will take more than ten days to reach...
"He has a motive, but he doesn't have the strength or possibility to do anything. What's more, it's impossible for him to know the truth about the Aida Town case. Isn't it unnecessary for me to target him?
.. …Forget it, after all, this is the only clue at the moment, there’s no harm in checking it out.”
Walking outside the door of the main hall, he looked up at the colorful clouds filled with mist on the horizon. This was the unique beauty of Guangming Holy Island, surrounded by the sea. A sad look suddenly flashed in Xitun's eyes: "Reappearance of Stat
The clan's lost magic weapon refining skills are now able to produce third-grade primary magic weapons. This young man is worth looking forward to in the future, and he is also worthy of our holy sect's key cultivation, but...
"If he really knows that the case in Aida Town was committed under the leadership of our Holy See of Light...then even if he is the only rare talent left, no matter how reluctant I am to give up, I can only eliminate future troubles forever.
, kill him at all costs!"
... ...
The sky was full of rain powder, dancing in layers, falling to the earth. In the empty wilderness, the rain and fog were confusing. In front of him was a whole misty world. Yi Yun suddenly stopped and looked back, lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Monroe asked.
"I don't know why, ever since I left the Demon Array Stone Cave, I always felt that there was a breath following me closely behind me. But with my spiritual consciousness fully open and careful observation, I found that there was no one else within a radius of fifty miles except me. I guess I was too careless.
, but this strange feeling follows him like a shadow, lingering all day long, could there really be an inexplicable strong person sneaking up behind him?" Yi Yun said thoughtfully.
Munro waved his hand and said with a smile: "Is there any need to ask more? You must be too worried! With me as a wise boss, who else in the world can follow you secretly without
What I discovered is that even the highest-level superpowers like Kalus and Axey have no way of tracking you silently...
"It must have been a few days ago, first the competition in the Demon Fighting Conference, then the fierce battle of the Qing Lei Sanctioning Group, and finally, I was so thick-skinned that I completely forgot about the past when I personally abandoned you, and hugged your thighs like brown sugar.
, first asked, then forced, and forced you to go back to the Lanville family. Bernardon just didn't have to kneel down and call you grandpa. It's ridiculous and deplorable. You have always been in this ridiculous and extreme situation.
In a depressing environment, that’s why you become suspicious, right?”
Yi Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. No matter what happened, Munro's tone would always change when he heard it. What was even more rare was that he could always speak with confidence and clarity.
However, what he said makes sense. Although Munro has no body and his strength can only reach around the three-star level, his perception and spiritual sense are truly at the top of the star field, and he is also at the top of the Red Lotus Ancestral Artifact.
After more than six thousand years, when it comes to the strength of the soul, no one in this world can match him. Indeed, no one has the ability to avoid the detection of his spiritual sense, not even the super strong ones at the same star level.
The sky was filled with raindrops that continued to fall, and the light rain evaporated as soon as it hit him. It was not a problem for him at all. He turned around, Yi Yun strode forward, and continued on his way.
He didn't realize that Boss Monroe, who was floating behind him like a ghost, had a sinister smile on his lips that showed success...
