Don't call me evil god

Chapter 679: If you can't open it, it's a waste

This idea was so outrageous that even Pete himself found it hard to believe, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.

What kind of situation could lead to the Marquis Madison being silenced without any chance of resistance?
Of course, suicide also counts as silencing someone!

Pete was a little confused.

It was just like how he suspected Rune Monger.

His thoughts can only be regarded as speculations at present and may not represent the truth.

Because he had no evidence to prove himself.

It is even possible that he was thinking in the wrong direction from the beginning and might even guess a completely wrong result.

"Could it be suicide? But Madison's body should have been burned to charcoal. I'm afraid we can't tell the cause of his death."

Just when Pete was worrying about where to find evidence.

"Ding!"

A crisp voice rang in his ears.

[Marquis Manor Fire - The truth is revealed, important clues obtained: Silent Death]

[Current progress: 33%]

[Number of important clues not yet collected: 2]

The guidance from Nowen, like the sound of nature, came without warning onto the illusionary light curtain in front of Pete.

……

Nowen once again intervened in Pete and his team's actions.

About the fire at the Madison Marquisate.

What surprised Noven so much was that he could use his authority to know the entire process of the fire!

The identity of the arsonist, the cause of death of the deceased and other various truths are now clear to Nowen.

Nowen had no intention of trying to consume his own divine power to obtain this information.

Because if the fire was really set by the cultists themselves, then the information related to it would be contaminated, and what Nowen obtained would become crazy and frantic delirium, or other nonsense.

The fact that Norman was able to use his authority to understand the process of this incident means that there was no direct involvement of the cultists at all!!!

in other words.

Although Marquis Madison is in a serious state of pollution, he is not a cultist who has accepted the power of the evil god!
This contamination should be the "aftereffect" left after he was recently harmed by a powerful monster, or the evil god's followers, or cultists.

Therefore, when the complexity of the struggle began to exceed the capabilities of Pete and his team, Noven immediately provided them with corresponding assistance.

If you can't open it, it's a waste.

Norman has no intention of tying his own hands.

Ever since I tasted the sweetness of looting from the cultists, especially the chance to find the core gems of the altars of creation.

In order to kill the followers of other evil gods, especially the evil god believers of the Church of the Supreme Truth, Nowen will show no mercy.

Although this incident did not seem to have any clues related to the core gem, Nowen still struck out hard because the other party was a cultist.

To him, every wild cultist is a great tonic!

of course.

In order to comply with God's will, Nowen did not directly announce the answer to his believers, but guided them to explore on their own.

……

The moment you receive guidance.

Pete's heart immediately settled down!

"Praise Nowen! Praise my Lord!!!"

Whatever you need comes to you. The most frightening thing about this kind of investigation is to rush around like a headless fly, hammering here and there, and finally collecting a lot of useless information, which messes up your thoughts.

Finding evidence means finding the most critical part among the complex clues.

But before the truth is found out, no one knows whether the evidence they have identified is "key".

Mortals can’t do that.

Novan can.

Pete could now make an accurate judgment: all the deaths reported in the "Trade and Fortune" news had died before the fire broke out.

Because the guidance given by Nowen had already helped him light up the first important clue:
[Silent Death: Before the Madison Marquisate was destroyed by fire, the arsonist had killed everyone.]

This is certified intelligence, 100% correct, without any mistake!
And according to subsequent guidance and reminders, in order to find out the truth, we need to find two other important clues!
The estate was difficult for Pete to enter, so he focused his investigation on the farmers who had witnessed the fire.

Judging from the burns and scalds on these people's bodies, they did try their best to put out the fire.

But it didn't succeed in the end.

Pete thought for a moment:

"When you rushed into the manor to put out the fire, didn't you think about rescuing people first?"

usually.

Once a fire breaks out, saving lives should be prioritized over extinguishing the fire.

The old farmer who had answered Pete's question earlier coughed twice and explained: "Sir, we tried to save people."

"Little Sam was the first one to get his clothes wet and rush into the manor building to rescue people, but..."

Before the old farmer could finish his words, a young man with bandages all over his body interrupted him in a muffled voice: "Sir, I am Little Sam. I know more clearly. Let me tell you."

"There was very thick black smoke in the building, fire everywhere, and it was hot and stuffy, making it hard to breathe."

"After I rushed in, I could hardly see anything. I could only rely on my memory to wander around. After walking around for a while, I didn't find anyone else. I was choked by the smoke and almost passed out. I finally stumbled out."

"Look at the wounds on my body. They were all caused by the burns when I rushed into the fire."

"Praise the glory, thanks to the priests who came today, they provided me with free treatment, otherwise, I would probably still be lying in bed with a high fever, unable to even get up!"

Pete narrowed his eyes.

He didn't say anything else, but kept looking up and down, carefully looking at the young man called Little Sam.

"What...what happened...my lord?"

Little Sam was a little nervous because of Pete's stare. He shivered uncontrollably and asked carefully.

Pete thought for a moment: "Can you walk now?"

Little Sam: "Uh... barely."

Pete nodded and suddenly said, "I want to ask you something about what happened at the fire scene. Can we go to the side and talk alone?"

Little Sam widened his eyes in surprise and pointed at himself: "Me?"

"Yes, that's right, it's you. Let's talk alone." Pete thought for a moment and added, "This may help you quickly resolve the issues regarding the handover of employment agreements after the death of Marquis Madison."

Upon hearing this, the other villagers immediately became restless.

Pete mentioned what they were most concerned about.

Little Sam hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.

"Well, my Lord, if you need it."
