Lord of Arcane

Chapter 142 The Baptism of Positive Energy

This is no wonder, 52 years old may still be alive and kicking on the earth, but in another world, it is hard to say, Xia Duo now also has some suspicions that he died of natural causes.

"Mrs. Patty, how did you judge that Felbers died not from natural causes but from accidents?"

"My lord, you will know Pelbers when you see him."

Mrs. Patty didn't answer this question directly, and Xia Duo didn't pursue it, because the study had already arrived.

……

Entering the study room, the furnishings inside are very new. It is called the study room but there are not many books in it, but some ledgers and artworks collected by the owner, such as statues, paintings, etc., all have a very distinct elf style.

There was a person crouching in front of the desk, and Xia Duo knew that it was Felbus - with gray hair, holding a wooden ink pen in his right hand, while his left hand was pressing on a piece of parchment.

Xia Duo walked in and took a look. There were only a few simple lines on it, which also made Xia Duo understand why Mrs. Patty said that Felbers was killed by him.

Because it is written on the parchment - "After I die, the property will belong to Mrs. Patty, and my son Faiyad will not inherit it..."

The ink was broken at this point. Obviously, there should be more content later, but he died before Felbers could write it down. A person who knew he was going to die soon, should he explain what happened?

Then why don't you write who the murderer is, and then ask your wife and son to avenge yourself, because you don't know the murderer?Still afraid to write?Or is this Mrs. Patty directing it?

Xia Duo couldn't help but take another look at this young woman. The will stated that she received all of Felbers' inheritance. From this point of view, it was very suspicious.

But Mrs. Patty's grief didn't seem fake, and if she was the murderer, why bother to find someone to confirm the murder?
Shouldn't the property be inherited along the way?
Isn't it enough for her to kill people, and she also has a desire to show off, wanting to see if the mage tower can find her?
Xia Duo quickly overturned this guess, but silently raised his vigilance.

If you want to find out the cause of death, you should check the corpse. If it was Xia Duo who just passed through, he would not even touch it, but now he is used to it.

But before the inspection, there are still many questions that Mrs. Patty needs to answer.

"Mrs. Patty, besides the inspection by ordinary people, have you checked with a spell caster?"

"I found it. Felbos' chamber of commerce hired a mage. After the accident, I asked him to come and have a look."

"How did he say?"

"He can't see anything either."

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?"

Hearing that Mrs. Patty was able to invite people from the temple, he suddenly felt that the asking price was lower, but the problem was that the people from the temple couldn't see why, and he might not be able to see anything either.

Thinking of this, he felt a little boring again, "I heard that the temple has a way to talk to the dead, I don't know—"

Xia Duo is quite familiar with the means of solving the case. Before killing Old Neil, Xia Duo paid special attention to it. Apart from ordinary people's inspection, the most important thing is the method of the caster.

Among them, the temple is the most prominent, because in addition to allowing the dead to speak, they can also ask the gods, which is simply cheating!
He now wants to know whether the temple has used such a method.

Mrs. Patty glanced at Xia Duo, and said the answer, "The lord of the temple used a magic spell to make Felbus speak."

Xia Duo's heart shuddered, sure enough!

He hurriedly asked, "What did Felbers say? Did you ask who killed him?"

"I asked, but Felbers just repeated the words on the parchment, and didn't say anything else!"

"Is it the parchment he wrote dead on?"

"Yes."

After that, Xia Duo asked Mrs. Patty about the abnormality of Felbers on the day of the incident. Apart from suddenly saying that he went upstairs to deal with affairs, there was no other abnormality. However, Mrs. Patty also said that she rarely left the villa. It's hard for her to judge whether Boss is abnormal outside.

It seems that even the starting 250 gold coins are not easy to get!
Next, it was time to examine the corpse. Xia Duo signaled Mrs. Patty to go out and wait, but she insisted on staying and observing. Xia Duo couldn't say anything, so he let her watch.

Since Xia Duo did not have professional forensic knowledge, his examination was only to check whether Felbers had any injuries, internal or external injuries, and whether there were traces 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 already found them. His focus is to check for injuries.

In addition, poisoning is also Xia Duo's suspected target, but it needs to be tested later. Moreover, it has been checked by a wanderer who specializes in poison before, and Xia Duo actually does not have much confidence in it.

First check the spell traces, that is, check whether the connection between the corpse and the magic net is abnormal.

In the magical world, everything is related to the magic net, even the most common stone, its essence must be connected with the magic net, but this level of connection is usually ignored.

Living people are connected to the magic net, but it is not obvious, unless they are spellcasters, while dead people are similar to stones, but they can still see something.

Xia Duo has also seen many corpses, those of beasts, goblins, orcs, and even humans. He still has some experience in the state of corpses.

Entering the focused state of casting spells, Xia Duo saw that there was no energy reaction on the corpse, and even if a normal corpse was left for two days, negative energy would dissipate.

But thinking that someone has been to the temple, maybe it was baptized for him.

After being messed up by those people before, now there are almost no traces of magic spells. Xia Duo was a little discouraged and prepared to check the injuries.

Out of caution, Xia Duo didn't do it directly, but cast the [Mage's Hand] spell, first laying Felbers flat on the ground, but it has been two days since his death, and his body is already stiff.

Xia Duo carefully summoned positive energy to confine it near Felbos. Theoretically speaking, death is the lack of positive energy. Although his summoned positive energy could not wake up Felbos, it could also soften his limbs.

And this is actually a way of baptism in the temple, similar to the ritual of salvation on earth, but in another world, the real purpose of this kind of baptism is to prevent the corpse from being awakened by bad guys.

This kind of awakening is not resurrection, but becoming an undead creature without any emotion or thinking in life. Once discovered, it will either be wiped out or enslaved. This is something that many people hate.

Xia Duo's positive energy baptism is naturally not as good as that of the temple. After all, he is a professional, but Xia Duo didn't want much effect. He only needed to make Felbers' limbs soft.

After a while, Xia Duo had already untied all of Felbos's clothes, while Mrs. Patty, who was watching this scene, turned her head with some embarrassment.

But Xia Duo didn't care so much, for the starting 250 gold coins, he was willing to go all out.
