In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

This was the first time anyone in Douluo Continent had ever seen a god asking his followers for wine. If he revealed his divine identity, would he really be short of wine?

They expressed their incomprehension as to why a deity would hide its identity.

The gods of the divine realm thought this was quite a sight, and that if they were to encounter Barbatos, the god of wind, in the future, they might be able to use fine wine to build a closer relationship.

By the way, let's change the title of the Wind God among the Seven Elemental Gods, so as not to offend the great god.

The wind god of the divine realm is an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire!

The scene shifts, and the Traveler and Paimon return from Starfall Cliff to Jean's office in the Knights of Favonius.

Kaiya and Yura are also here, discussing the next steps with Jean. An appeal is definitely necessary, but they need to find new evidence first.

So Jean entrusted the Traveler with the task of investigating, which the Traveler readily accepted, and they went to the second floor of the Knights of Favonius, to Abedo's office.

Ouyang Kong couldn't help but complain, "The second floor of the Knights of Favonius is finally open for once."

The traveler and Paimon arrived at Abedo's office and began a thorough investigation.

Abedo's office is filled with experimental equipment and bottles and jars of alchemical reagents, reflecting his distinct personal style.

The traveler soon found a piece of paper in a hidden compartment in the desk.

Humus is also a manifestation of decay.

When these energies collide with sufficiently vibrant life, they repel each other, producing extremely strong side effects. The results obtained from refining them in alchemy experiments were unexpected.

[The breakthrough in breaking through the shackles of life: the simulation of Project XXXX (Ink) – an opportunity not to be missed]

This note, instead of clearing Aberdo's name, only made him more suspicious.

They then found another manuscript with three locations listed, two of which were crime scenes, while the identity of the third location was unknown.

Just then, Dudu's communicator rang, and Wendy contacted them.

"Hi, how's the investigation going?"

"Things are going smoothly, but the investigation results only increase suspicion against Abedo..."

"Therefore, Abedo did indeed keep some research records that were unfavorable to him."

It's indeed not a good look. After all, Aberdo is the son of Rheindorf. It's better if this matter is not made public, because once it is, people will think that he is following in his mother's footsteps.

Golden Rhinedoth is insane in both alchemy and morality, and the evidence against her is enough to shake even those who know her true identity.

So, do you still believe Aberdo is innocent?

"Of course I believe you; I wouldn't doubt a friend. But..."

"Don't feel burdened. You are being objective. Go and report your investigation results to Qin. Facing the truth objectively is also a form of help."

Then the traveler noticed someone behind him; it was Miles. After being discovered, Miles made up an excuse and left.

The traveler, however, sensed that something was off about Miles.

The traveler then went to the third location marked on the map, where there was a pit and obvious traces around it.

But unlike the previous two places, there are too many traces left here, and even traces of monsters. In short, the situation is very complicated.

Confused, the traveler had no choice but to return to the Knights of Favonius and report the situation to Jyn.

Those watching the sky were equally baffled, with too much evidence pointing to Abed.

In front of the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City, Sesos asked Seno, "Seno, what do you think is the truth behind this case?"

"A fake!"

Sino uttered three words.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"If Mr. Abedo is not the murderer, and the testimonies of the two witnesses are not false, then there is only one possibility: someone is impersonating Mr. Abedo to commit the crime."

"Oh? Is this the Grand Eunuch's reasoning?"

"This is intuition! Moreover, considering the previous celestial phenomena, the true protagonist probably hasn't even appeared yet."

"You mean, the Demon Dragon Dulin? The Demon Dragon Dulin, whose heart is still beating, still possesses such abilities?"

"Don't underestimate the abilities of monsters, especially powerful ones."

Sesos nodded in agreement.

The celestial projection continued, now switching to the scene of the second trial, where almost nothing had changed.

However, the evidence against Abedo for murder is becoming increasingly substantial, and it seems to be an ironclad case.

New witnesses have even come forward to corroborate Diluc's testimony.

Even the map found by the traveler was used as evidence against Abedo, who admitted that he had marked the map himself.

"So you're admitting guilt?"

"No, I still want to say a few words for myself."

"Oh! What other excuse do you have?"

"How can it be an excuse for an innocent person to try every means to prove their innocence, especially since I am just waiting now?"

"Waiting? That won't make your crimes disappear."

"I prefer to believe that waiting is a skill; some things don't just come to light on their own, and someone needs to brush away the snow covering them."

Abedo's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and he looked at the traveler again.

"Traveler, you were the one who discovered the map, so you must have visited the third marker as well."

"Yes, there's a pit there, and traces of an unknown creature, but it's hard to spot anything unusual because it's covered in snow."

"There must be corpses there too!"

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Abedo looked at the traveler and gave him a trusting look.

"The third trace is obviously much older, meaning it occurred a long time ago, and is completely different from the time when the first two cases occurred."

Furthermore, the traces at the scene were completely different, so they cannot be used together as evidence for conviction.

"As you said, there are indeed doubts, but the defendant marked that location himself. Does the defendant now intend to deny what he said before?"

Abedo then calmly said, "If I want to prove my innocence, I should indeed deny the map, as Miss Herta said."

Unfortunately, I made all the markings on the map, and I also hid things at all three marked locations.

There were indeed three bodies there, especially on Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. I dealt with one person there and buried him there.”

"As expected, he confessed."

"No, I'm not confessing; I just have some stories to tell."

Abedo looked at Yura.

"A long time ago, I encountered an uninvited guest on the snowy mountain. He wanted to kill me there, but I killed him instead, and I buried his body there in the end."

Yura spoke up at that moment.

"That day, I, Amber, the Traveler, and Bennett from the Adventurers' Guild were also there, but what Abedo was talking about must have happened after we left the snow mountain."

"Isn't this a confession? What's there to argue about?"

Hertha Berlin was clearly starting to panic.
