Chapter 142: Baptism of Positive Energy
It's no wonder, at the age of 52, he may still be alive and kicking on Earth, but in the other world, it's not good, and Xia Duo is now a little suspicious of a natural death.
"Mrs. Patty, how do you tell that Fairbers did not die of natural causes, but by accident?"
"Your Excellency, you'll know when you see Fairbers." Madame Patti did not answer the question directly, nor did Chardo ask, for the study had already arrived.
…… Entering the study, the furnishings inside are very new, but there are not many books in the study, but some ledgers and artworks collected by the owner, such as statues, paintings, etc., all have a very distinct elven style.
There was a man lying at his desk, which Chardo knew was Fairbers—gray-haired, with a wooden fountain pen in his right hand and a parchment in his left.
Chardo walked in and saw that there were only a few simple lines on it, which also made Chardo understand why Madame Patti wanted Fairbers to be killed by him.
Because it was written on the parchment—
"After my death, the property belongs to Mrs. Patty, and my son Fiard is not allowed to copy it..."The ink is broken here, and it is obvious that there should be content behind, but he died before Fairbers wrote it down, and a person knows that he is about to die, and he will explain the aftermath?
Then why don't you write who the murderer is, and then let your wife and son avenge yourself, don't you know the murderer?
Still don't dare to write? Or is this what Mrs. Patti directed? Xia Duo couldn't help but take another look at the young woman, who had received all of Fairbers' inheritance in her will, and from this point of view, it was suspicious.
But Patif's sorrow doesn't seem to be pretending, and if the murderer is her, then why go to the trouble of finding someone to make sure that he killed him?
Isn't it time to inherit property? Is it not enough for her to kill people, but also to show her desire to see if the Mage Tower can spot her?
Xia Duo quickly disproved this speculation, but quietly raised his guard. If you want to find out the cause of death, you should check the body, if it was Xia Duo who had just crossed, he wouldn't even touch it, but now he was used to it.
However, there are still many questions that need to be answered by Mrs. Patti before the examination.
"Mrs. Patty, have you checked with a spellcaster other than the ordinary Rao inspection?"
"Yes, the Chamber of Commerce in Fairbers hired a mage, and after the accident, I asked him to come over and see it."
"How about him?"
"He doesn't see anything." Mrs. Patty seemed to be a little exhausted, leaning against the door, a little lonely,
"Later, I went to the temple again, and an adult from the temple came to check it himself, but found nothing?" When he heard that Mrs. Patty could even invite someone from the temple to come over, he immediately felt that the asking price was less, but the problem was that the people in the temple couldn't see why, and he might not be able to see anything.
Thinking about it like this, he felt a little bored again,
"I heard that the temple has a means of talking to the dead, I don't know-" Xia Duo still knows a lot about the means of solving cases, Xia Duo has paid special attention to it before killing Old Neil, in addition to ordinary Rao inspection, the most important thing is the method of the spellcaster.
Among them, the temple is the most significant, because in addition to allowing the dead to speak for themselves, they can also ask the gods, which is simply cheating!
He wondered now if the temple had ever used such a tactic. Mrs. Patti glanced at Chardo and came up with an answer,
"The Lord of the Temple has cast a magic spell that has made Fairbers speak." Xia Duo's heart sank, sure enough!
He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Fairbers?" Did you ask who killed him? ”
"Yes, but Fairbers just repeats the words on the parchment, nothing else!"
"The parchment he wrote dead?"
"Yes." Later, Chateau asked Mrs. Patty about the anomaly of Fairbers on the day of the incident, except for the sudden upstairs to deal with affairs, there was no other abnormality, but Mrs. Patti also, she rarely left the villa, and it was difficult for her to judge whether Fairbers was abnormal outside.
It seems that even the 250 gold coins that started here are not easy to get! The next step was to examine the body, and Shado motioned for Mrs. Patty to go out and wait, but she insisted on staying and observing, and Shado was not good, so he let her see.
Since Chadorf did not have any forensic expertise, his examination was limited to looking for injuries, internal or external, and signs of spells.
In fact, Xia Duo didn't pay much attention to the traces of spells, if he could find them, the people who came before would have found them, and his focus was to check whether there were any injuries.
In addition, poisoning is also the target of Xia Duo's suspicion, but this needs to be tested later, and it has been checked by wanderers who specialize in drug production before, and Xia Duo actually doesn't have much confidence in it.
First of all, check the traces of the spell, that is, check whether the connection between the corpse and the magic net is abnormal. In the wizarding world, everything is related to the magic web, even if it is the most ordinary stone, its essence must be linked to the magic web, but this degree of connection is usually ignored.
The living have a connection to the net, but it is not obvious, unless it is the caster, and the dead are similar to stones, but they can still see something.
Xia Duo has seen many corpses, beasts, goblins, beasts, and even humans, and he still has some experience with the state of corpses.
Entering the state of concentration of spell casting, Xia Duo saw that there was no energy reaction on the corpse, and the negative energy would escape even if the normal corpse was released in two.
However, I thought that someone from the temple had come, perhaps to baptize him. After being messed with by those people before, and now there are almost no traces of any remaining spells, Xia Duo is a little discouraged and ready to check the injury.
Out of caution, Xia Duo did not start directly, but cast the spell [Mage's Hand], first placing Fairbers flat on the ground, but he had already died twice, and his body had already stiffened.
Chardo heartily summoned positive energy to confine it to the vicinity of Fairbers, and in theory, death was a lack of positive energy, and although he summoned positive energy, it could make his limbs soft, although he could not wake Fairbers.
And this is actually a baptism method in the temple, similar to the transcendent ritual on earth, but in the other world, the real purpose of this baptism is to prevent the corpse from being awakened by the bad guys.
This kind of awakening is not resurrection, but becoming an undead creature, without any emotional thoughts of life, and once discovered, it is either destroyed or enslaved, which many people hate.
Xia Duo's positive energy baptism is naturally not as good as the temple, after all, people are professionals, but Xia Duo didn't want much effect, just need to make Fairbers's limbs soft.
After a few moments, Chardo had untied all of Fairbers' clothes, and Madame Patty, who was watching the scene, turned her head a little reluctantly.
But Xia Duo didn't care so much, for the sake of the starting 250 gold coins, he could be regarded as giving up.
