Don't call me evil god

When he heard the newsboy shouting, Peter thought he was hallucinating and had heard something wrong.

"My deepest condolences! Marquis Madison..."

I listened again and this time it was accurate.

Something happened to Marquis Madison!

"Bring me a newspaper!"

Pat hurriedly stopped the newsboy, threw him two silver coins, and bought a thick newspaper.

The "Trade and Wealth" newspaper in the royal capital is a weekly, covering all aspects, and there is no problem in reading it as a book.

The headline on the front page, the most conspicuous and eye-catching position, reads in bold black letters:

"A fire broke out at the Marquis Madison Manor, and it was suspected that there were traces of evil believers!"

The news came too suddenly.

"What's going on?!"

Gale was also confused.

Didn't we say well before that the king and the Glow God Cult should seize this clue and conduct an in-depth investigation?

Why did Marquis Madison die suddenly?

Pat frowned and read the description of the news report:

"The night before, a violent fire broke out at the Marquis Madison Manor."

"The flames are suspected to have been ignited by believers in the evil god and cannot be extinguished quickly."

"The disaster resulted in 39 deaths and 67 injuries."

"After preliminary investigation, it was found that the bodies of the deceased were contaminated by evil spirits to varying degrees, especially the Marquis of Madison."

“The estate shows extensive signs of battle damage.”

"..."

Reina's expression changed slightly: "Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"

There were so many nobles in the royal capital, but only Marquis Madison got into trouble.

And it is also the most dangerous "sabotage by evil god believers".

If it were just an ordinary fire caused by flammable materials, etc., the mages would rush to put out the fire immediately.

In this regard, the power of magic can be said to be quite powerful. If a great mage like Alkandas takes action, with a few powerful frost spells, the flames should be extinguished quickly.

Even if the situation was worse, Marquis Madison was really an unlucky guy. He was so unlucky that he was burned to death on the spot, or died of suffocation or poisoning.

The Glow God Cult spent a lot of money, gold worth 25,000 gold coins, and forcibly used the [Great Resurrection Spell] to pull up Marquis Madison and bring him back to life.

But this time there were factors involving believers in the evil god.

After the corpse is contaminated and twisted by the evil god, the [Great Resurrection Spell] cannot be used on it, because doing so is likely to resurrect a monster instead of Marquis Madison himself.

in other words:

Death has no evidence.

Marquis Madison is dead. No matter how many evidences or clues he once knew, this line will be directly cut off now, and no more information can be obtained from him.

After all, dead people cannot speak.

Even his family, servants, attendants, etc. in Marquis Madison's manor were completely burned by this fire.

The whole manor was dead from top to bottom.

Those injured in the fire were innocent people who lived near the Marquis Madison estate.

Pete couldn't believe it was a coincidence!

This is clearly a premeditated and planned massacre!

Marquis Madison 100% held some important clues, but after his death, he could no longer reveal these clues.

…

After collecting the special materials needed to cast [Blood Debt] and returning to the Blue Rose Hotel, everyone saw Prince Vladin anxiously hovering at the door of the suite.

Pacing back and forth, looking restless.

"Your Highness!" Peter shouted.

It seemed that the other party also knew about the death of Marquis Madison.

When Vladin heard the voice, his anxious look paused for a moment, and he motioned for everyone to enter the room before talking.

"Bad news!"

The prince looked gloomy and said anxiously:

"The investigation results have come out regarding the monsters that appeared in the arena of Menge Manor."

"The Glow Priest who was responsible for the inspection was derelict in his duties. He did not perform his duties seriously and put them into the royal capital without careful inspection. In the records left by the Glow Divine Cult, the registration information of these monsters is' A common level 2 monster type, originating from the Spirit Wing Wetland.”

"As for the mercenary group called Liuxing that transported this monster, they just left the royal capital a few days ago. The mercenary group's station is now empty and their whereabouts are unknown."

Peter's heart sank.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse!

The tragic news of Marquis Madison's death has led them to cut off a clue to trace the cultists.

The clues to the possible existence of those monsters in Monger Manor have actually been cut off!

"When did they leave?" Peter suddenly thought of something and hurriedly confirmed: "Is it... the day when Rune Monger invited us to the banquet?"

Vladin nodded seriously: "That's right."

"To be precise, they left overnight that night."

"The citizens of the royal capital near the Ryusei Mercenary Group's station provided information. During the day, they saw an employer going to the Ryusei Mercenary Group and planned to entrust them to undertake a caravan escort. However, the terms could not be negotiated."

"The next morning, all the members of the Ryusei Mercenary Group were gone. They probably left the capital overnight."

Peter's face became increasingly ugly.

One thing could be a coincidence;

Several things happened at the same time, and they were all closely related to the clues discovered during their investigation. This cannot be explained by coincidence!

Marquis Madison's lead was broken;

The priest neglected his duty and failed to leave the correct information of the monster;

The mercenary group that transported the monster also disappeared.

Pete also felt what kind of existence King Kenredin said "invisible resistance".

They just got some clues, but bad news came one after another.

The mastermind hiding in the dark acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

Accurately cut off all the clues that might lead to exposure.

"What should we do now? There is no breakthrough to trace!" Dolan listened to the discussion of several people and became anxious.

I thought the matter should be solved soon.

Now the situation suddenly took a 90-degree turn, and all directions seemed to have entered a dead end. The situation returned to the starting point, and it was impossible to start and difficult to investigate.

"Huh..."

Pete took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, don't worry, let me sort out the clues."

"What did His Majesty say? Does he have any plans?" Pete turned his head to confirm with Prince Fradin.

Prince Vladin replied immediately: "Yes."

"Father contacted Archbishop Eugene immediately."

"The Glowing God Church has now sent two groups of priests and the Holy Army to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Marquis Madison's manor and the Liuxing Mercenary Group's base."

"Maybe there are some useful clues there!"

When he heard that the Glowing God Church was responsible for the investigation, somehow, Pete always felt a little...uneasy!

There will be 4+1 more chapters in the evening!
