Chapter 380: The Priesthood of Glory? Huaiguang Investigator! (1/3)
To be honest, Ian had a hard time explaining that he wasn't actually here to dig up the corpses, he didn't know there were corpses here, he just came to look for clues about Baron Ryan's early harvesting of the Radiant Grass.
Although the two-year-old glow grass has accumulated nutrients, it will not be harvested until the end of autumn until the maximum medicinal effect, and now it is only the beginning of summer, and Baron Ryan definitely has a reason to harvest it early.
Now it seems that these corpses may be one of the reasons.
Somehow, they gave birth to the growth of the glow grass, allowing him to harvest enough psionic plants early enough to be medicative.
Unlike Ian, Sister Reflections investigates in the other direction, she is not a psyker and cannot see the clues that are obvious to Ian, but she also finds some crucial evidence. Therefore, the exchange of information is an option that is beneficial for both sides. "Okay." Taking the shovel back, the nun hung it earnestly behind her waist and readily agreed to the request. The two exchanged information.
Yingguang is the official cleric of the Huaiguang Church, and she came here for the anomalous disappearances that have occurred around the Agate Stone Plain in the past three years. This is not something to be surprised about, after all, it is normal to accidentally disappear when you are away from home, and it is strange to find the bones. There are many creatures in the Terra ecosystem that can digest all the bones cleanly. So in this land, disappearance is not simply disappearance, but also the potential meaning of 'no bones'.
The Huaiguang Church doesn't usually pay attention to these little things. After all, if even the Demon Beast Raiders were under their control, would there still be a need for the local nobles and security brigades to exist? What's more, where can this kind of thing be managed, so that the Huaiguang Church can't manage the founding of the country.
Having said that, the situation has become more frequent and serious lately, and since a year ago, there has even been a strange phenomenon of a small merchant group completely disappearing before it passes through the Indishan Gorge, and that merchant group happens to be organized by a devout Huaiguang believer.
There are so many complaints and requests from believers that they have to find out what's going on. Fast forward by.
After several months of follow-up investigation, Yingguang, who was tasked with investigating the matter, locked the source of the disappearance in the territory of Lean.
And she also found that a gathering place of refugees from the Western Plains, which originally existed in the interior of the Ryan Territory, had completely disappeared, and there was no one in the empty camp. It has been decaying and dilapidated for at least a year or more. This is not normal.
Due to the confrontation with the Flying Flame Land, the Western Plains has built a large number of fortresses and military fortresses, as well as all kinds of harsh laws, and there is a steady stream of refugees pouring into the South Ridge.
Even if these refugees who have lost their homes are soon killed by the harsh environment of the South Ridge, new refugees will arrive every season, or ordinary people eager to find a new home.
Bi Zhang, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger.
Sister Yingguang thought that this incident might be related to another incident related to the Nanling Cult, so she came here and openly negotiated with Baron Lean, who had a mountain background, in order to see some clues from the other party's words and deeds.
As a result, Baron Ryan did not show the slightest flaw, she could not grasp the evidence, and could only go back to the church in the city.
After consultation with local personnel. Through the method of treatment and treatment. Finally, I got a clue from the □ of a flower grower, and learned that in the late autumn of last year, the viscount had cleaned up the planting area once after harvesting the glow grass to make the flower sea more lush. So she came to dig the ground. Very formal investigation process.
Ian nodded slightly, Sister Yingguang was obviously from a professional class, and there were clues every step of the way through the investigation, which was very different from a person like herself who relied on spiritual energy and the prophet to directly open perspective.
He also told Sister Yingguang what he had seen and heard in the castle, the news of Baroness Ryan and her children, and the news about the self-theft of the Xiahui Grass guard. Of course, remove the prophetic information.
....... the news obtained from the city proved that the baron did have a child, but because he was not in good health, he did not leave the castle. Her eyes widened in surprise, and the friar fell into deep thought.
She pondered the information in Ian's intelligence, and then nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, I was still farming in the countryside around the Holy Mountain six years ago, so I don't know much about the news of you southerners. "
"But if Baron Minami's children died six years ago, and you perceive that there are four children in the castle, but only three ........., can I test the baron, the baron used his method. Confused the cognition of everyone in Ryan's territory?
Farm? Aunt Zhencun, no wonder she is so good at using farm tools.. …… I thought you were from the archaeological team.
Amazed at his heart, Ian looked up, he looked at the rainstorm and clouds that kept falling, and then looked at the dark Castle of Ryan on the cliff in the distance. He said slowly, "This is the private news of the aristocratic circle, and it is also spread within Nanling, and it is unlikely that even if you are a southerner, you will not know about it. "
"As for the method..........," after a moment of silence, Ian continued, "It's very likely, after all, he's a lord, and there's always a way. Ordinary people don't care too much, or they don't dare to care about these gossip.
"As long as the farming season comes, any reverie will disappear." On top of that, the baron also had three psionic children by his side.
Who knows if they have the kind of psychic power that rewrites memories? Rather, there must have been, and the old butler's unhesitating words made it impossible for Ian to see that he was lying, apparently believing a lie from the bottom of his heart.
Even the old housekeepers who live together can fool them, let alone ordinary people?" Let's summarize the current situation. "
Sister Yingguang was very capable, she took out a small board from the bag behind her wife, and then began to take notes with a waterproof pen. This move made Ian can't help but look sideways, and he can't help but feel the groove in his heart, "Isn't it possible that the executor of the Huaiguang Church is a part-time investigator?"
She concluded: "The Baron's family has three children with crippled limbs and minds, and a 'parent who should have died but could be sensed in psionic energy'. "There are frequent cases of disappearances around the Lean Territory, and some of the victims' bones have appeared under the Lean Flower Sea, and most of the residents in the city of Lean have memory disorders about the situation of the Baron's family, and children have recently disappeared in the surrounding towns.
"The baron himself has the blood of the mountain people, and his wife is also a noble branch of the mountain people, and they may indeed have the original ancestor worship of the mountain people. and even the sublimation skills related to pagan signing. In his hands there are strange treasures about the spiritual inheritance of the mountain people... … Wait, does he want to resurrect his children? Summing up this, Yingguang looked stunned: "But this will only create a vicious monster....... an immortal resentful spirit... ……."
"I'm in trouble now........." With a slight brow, she subconsciously grinded her teeth: "The situation is serious, I think we should apply for Templar assistance first." "This is a very normal speculation, the same as Viscount Ronglante, but the object is different.
"I also think I should report it to Huaiguang Church first, but to be honest, it may be too late.
But Ian spoke, and said with some regret, "The Baron's plan has lasted for several years, but it has only been discovered in the last three months, and it happened that some time ago, a large amount of Xiahui Grass, that is, the raw material for the psionic tonic extract, had reached the final moment. "
He narrowed his eyes, a halo of watery light, and stared at the castle in the distance: "Although my psionic ability cannot see that far, my essentia perception tells me. There was no one in the Baron Castle Protector anymore. "He's gone."
