Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 380: A priest of Huaiguang? Investigator Huaiguang! (1/3)
To be honest, it is very difficult for Yin En to explain that he did not come to dig up the corpses - he did not know that there were corpses here, he just came to look for clues about the matter of "Baron Laian harvesting the Xiahui grass in advance".
Although the Xiahui grass has accumulated nutrients in the second year, it will be most effective when it is harvested in late autumn. Now it is only early summer, and Baron Laian definitely has his reasons for harvesting in advance.
Now it seems that these corpses may be one of the reasons.
They somehow spurred the growth of the glowweed, allowing him to harvest enough of the psychic plants earlier.
Different from Yin En, Sister Reflecting Light investigated in another direction. She was not a psychic, so she couldn't see the obvious clues to Yin En, but she also found some crucial evidence.
So, exchanging information is a choice that is beneficial to both parties.
"Okay."
Receiving the shovel back, the nun seriously hung it on her waist, and readily agreed to the request.
The two exchanged information.
Yingguang is an official clergyman of the Huaiguang Church. She came here for the abnormal disappearances that 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. It is a strange thing to find the bones.
In the Terra ecosystem, there are quite a few creatures that can digest their bones.
So in this land, missing is not simply missing, but also has the potential meaning of 'no bones left'.
Huaiguang Church usually does not pay attention to these trivial matters.
After all, if even monster attacks are under their control, is there still a need for the local nobles and security brigade?
What's more, there is no way to manage this kind of thing, even Huaiguang Church Jianguo can't manage it.
That being said, the recent situation has become more frequent and serious. Since a year ago, there has even been a strange phenomenon in which an entire small business group disappeared completely before passing through the Indigo Mountain Gorge, and that business group happened to be It was organized by a devout Huaiguang believer.
There were so many complaints and requests from believers that they also had to take a look at what was going on.
Fast forward through.
After several months of follow-up investigation, Ying Guang, who was in charge of investigating the matter, pinpointed the source of the disappearance in Lai'an Territory.
And she also found that a refugee gathering place in the western plains that originally existed in Laianling had completely disappeared, and there was no one in the empty camp, which had been decayed and dilapidated for at least a year.
This is very unusual.
Because of the confrontation with Feiyan Land in the Western Territory, a large number of forts and military fortresses were built, as well as all kinds of harsh laws. Refugees continued to flow into Nanling.
Even though these refugees who lost their homes will soon be killed by the harsh environment of Nanling, there will be new refugees every season, or ordinary people eager to find a new hometown.
After all, tyranny is fiercer than a tiger.
Sister Yingguang believes that this incident may be related to another incident related to the 'Nanling Cult', so she came here to negotiate with Baron Lai'an, who has a background of mountain people, in order to obtain from the other party. There are clues in speech and behavior.
As a result, Baron Laian did not reveal any flaws, and she could not grasp the evidence, so she could only go back to the church in the city.
After negotiating with the local staff, through the method of treatment and diagnosis, I finally got a clue from a flower sea planter. I know that in the late autumn of last year, after the Viscount harvested the Xiahui grass, he expanded the planting area to a large area. After tidying up once, the sea of flowers will be more lush.
So she came to dig the ground.
Very formal investigation process.
Yin En nodded slightly. Sister Yingguang was obviously from a professional background, and she found clues every step of the way through the investigation, which was quite different from a person like himself who directly opened clairvoyance with psychic powers and prophets.
And he also told Sister Yingguang what he saw and heard in the castle, the news about the Baroness Laian and her child, and the news about Xiahuicao's guarding and stealing.
Of course, remove the prophet-related information.
"...The information received in the city proves that the baron does have a child, but because of his poor health, he does not leave the castle."
The red eyes widened in surprise, and the female monk fell into deep thought.
She thought about the information in Yin En's intelligence, and then nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, six years ago, I was still farming in the countryside around the holy mountain, so I don't know much about you southerners."
"But if Baron Nan's child died six years ago, and you perceive that there are four children in the castle, but only see three... Can I guess that the Baron used some method to confuse Lai'an's perception of everyone in the territory?"
Farming? What a village girl, no wonder you are so good at using farm tools... I thought you were from an archaeological team.
Surprised in his heart, Yin En raised his head. He looked at the rainstorm and dark clouds that kept falling, and then at the dark Lai'an Castle on the cliff in the distance.
He said slowly: "This is private news from the aristocratic circle, and it is spread within Nanling. Even if you are a southerner, you are unlikely to know."
"As for the method..."
After pondering for a while, Yin En continued: "It is indeed very possible. After all, he is the lord, and he always has a way. Ordinary people don't care too much, or dare not care about these gossips."
"As long as the busy farming season comes, all daydreams will disappear."
——The most important thing is that there are three psionic children beside the baron.
Who knows if they have the psychic ability to rewrite memories? It would be better to say that there must be, the old housekeeper's unhesitating words, even Yin En could not see that he was lying, which obviously believed a lie from the bottom of his heart.
Even the old housekeeper who lives with him can be fooled, let alone ordinary people?
"Then let's summarize the current situation."
Sister Guangguang was very capable. She took out a small board from the package behind her, and then took notes with a waterproof pen.
This action caused Yin En to look sideways, and complained in his heart, "Could it be possible that the executors of the Huaiguang Church are part-time investigators?" '.
She concluded: "There are three physically and mentally disabled children in the baron's family, and there is also a parent-child who is 'supposed to die but can be sensed in spiritual energy'."
"There are frequent cases of disappearances around Lai'an, and some of the victims' bones appear under the sea of flowers in Lai'an. Most residents in Lai'an have lost their memory of the Baron's family. missing children."
"The baron himself has the blood of the mountain people, and his wife is also a noble one among the mountain people. They may indeed have mastered the sublimation skills related to the primitive sacrifices of the mountain people, and even pagan sacrifices."
"He has a strange treasure in his hand, about the inheritance of the mountain people's spiritual energy... Wait, does he want to resurrect his child?"
At the end of the conclusion, Yingguang was stunned: "But this will only create a ferocious monster... an indestructible wraith..."
"This is troublesome..."
Frowning slightly, she gritted her teeth subconsciously: "The situation is serious, I think we should apply for church assistance first."
This is a normal speculation. It is the same as Viscount Grant, but the target is different.
"I also think it should be reported to Huaiguang Church first, but to be honest, it may be too late."
But Yin En opened his mouth and said with some regret: "The baron's plan has lasted for several years, but you only discovered it in the past three months, and it happened that a large amount of Xiahui grass was harvested in advance some time ago, that is, The raw material of the spiritual energy nourishing extract... the plan has reached the last moment."
He squinted his eyes, and the water-colored halo flowed, staring at the castle in the distance: "Although my psychic power can't see that far away, my essence perception tells me that there is no one in the baron's castle."
"He's gone."
