Chapter 442 Investigation

"Well, now tell me, what did you find when Roland died?" Star stood here, his eyes were cold and fierce, as if to see through all the truth hidden behind the fog. Didn't anyone know who it was before the incident?

"I'm sorry, no!" Goethe shook his head and continued. It was a maid who found His Majesty Roland lying on the ground, and by the time she arrived, His Majesty Roland was out of breath. I was the second person who rushed here after the maid exclaimed. I dare to swear to you that the environment here has been the same as before the death of His Majesty Roland.

Star couldn't help shaking his head, but sighed silently in his heart.

Swear? No, the environment here has been changed for a long time. Everyone who walks into the yard will cause changes in the temperature, humidity and air in the yard, and these environments are the key for me to find the problem. What about the maid?" Star asked.

"She has been executed!" Goethe said. The dignity of the royal family made her see what she shouldn't see, so there was no room for negotiation.

"Told about what Roland looked like when you found him." Star took two steps forward.

He closed his eyes, and the temperature here was slightly higher than other places. It turned out that Roland stayed in this place for a long time last night. However, it is because of the intrusion of some people that the temperature in the yard has become a little disordered. In the rear of myself, it should be the position where the maid stood last night, because the body temperature of ordinary people has an obvious characteristic - it is easy to dissipate.

The stronger the strength, the less this situation will occur. The stronger the strength, the more people will pay attention to the preservation of their own strength. Even if it is a little bit of body temperature, they will not waste it easily. Maybe it's just a little bit of energy, but it is likely to be the key to victory in the duel. But even so, a little temperature will be left more or less where all creatures pass by.

...However, Star couldn't find it.

Goethe's expression was a little embarrassed. He looked at Star, who was thinking with his eyes closed, and didn't know if he should talk about it. The royal family has always been very strict about etiquette. They never allow themselves to make a fool of themselves, let alone allow their ugly things to be known by outsiders.

"When Your Majesty died, his expression was smiling!" Goethe thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to say it.

"Is the expression smiling?" Star couldn't help opening his eyes. What kind of smile, contempt or self-deprecating..."

"I can't tell. There is a strange feeling." Goethe shook his head.

"Stry, weird..." Star nodded heavily and couldn't help chewing these two words. Usually, before the unnatural death of people, most of their expressions are based on fear. But Roland's expression turned out to be a smile, and it seemed a little strange. This made Starr frown. The problem seemed to have entered a dead end and began to become complicated.

However, the only thing that can make Sta be sure is that this smile must be a clue left by Roland.

There must be some reason to make him laugh!

"What else happened that night besides these things?" Starr kept this in mind, and maybe the key to the problem was here.

"Your Majesty's guard is also dead!" Goethe thought for a moment and replied.

"Guard?" Star couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Goethe. What guard is his? Are they those people with extraordinary strength?"

"Yes, Your Highness. In addition to us guards who guard the order of the whole palace, Your Majesty also has a group of guards who secretly protect him. I have rarely seen these people, but they make me feel amazing. Every time I face them, I always have a feeling that if this group of people appear, it is enough to help your majesty turn around any situation that can't be reversed. However, overnight last night, all these guards died in a violent death!" Goethe couldn't help taking a deep breath, "These guards seem to be asleep. Until now, their bodies have not changed. The expression is calm... It makes people feel creepy when they think about it.

"Ye-huh, take me to see the bodies of those people later." Star couldn't help frowning again.

Star stopped talking, but looked around carefully. He suddenly saw some slight protrusions on the ground and hurried up. The ground seemed to be engraved with something sharp. Looking at it again, it turned out to be a word 'God'. The font is about the size of a palm, using an orthodox royal font. The letters at the end are slightly deflected. If the guess is correct, this should be the mark left by Roland before his death.

"God?"

Is it a goddess?

Star suddenly thought of the key. Coupled with the recent actions of the Holy See, it is not ruled out that she is a goddess. Of course, it is also very likely to be the new Death - Old John. But why did Roland leave such a word? This situation can't help but make Star feel extremely puzzled.

Gently touch it with your hand, and there is no energy fluctuation on it. Goethe, have you found weapons such as daggers on Roland's body?

"No!" Goethe shook his head.

Then this is strange! Star couldn't help talking to himself. This word is extremely powerful and stable, and it is impossible for people to leave a mark so calmly before they die. And what can such a single word 'God' represent? Are you sure that your previous idea is a goddess or death? Or are other guys hiding in the dark, are they sinners?

Or is it the clue left by the other party to mislead him?

Almost in an instant, a large amount of thinking information kept coming into Star's mind. Gradually, these clues were like a mess of threads, slowly straightening and appearing in front of Star. But among these clues, there are always a few accidentally entangled together.

"I know. I have remembered all the situation here." Star slowly stood up and looked at Goethe. Next, take me to see the bodies of those guards!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Going to the place dedicated to storing corpses, Star couldn't help but recall what he had just seen and tried to connect them together. I don't know why, he always feels that there is something strange here. Will it be a deviation in his own thinking?

First of all, it is certain that there is only one person who broke into the palace and assassinated Roland, and all this time was very short. Because there are not many people entering the yard, there should be some body temperature and some smell left by the predecessors in the yard. But Starr experienced a lot carefully, and there was no trace left in the yard except Roland, Goethe and the ordinary maid who had been executed.

It can hide the traces so subtle that the other party is at least a strong man in the Holy Land. In fact, it should be the same. Without the strength of the Holy Land, it is difficult for anyone to break into the palace.

As for the word 'God', Star didn't pay much attention. Because it is just a single clue, if you want to find a clue from this letter, you still need too much proof. However, perhaps this word can be associated with the smile left by Roland before his death...

As for going to see the bodies of those guards now, this behavior is to confirm the strength of the other party.

Although there are not many strong people in the Holy Land, they are not all so easy to locate. Therefore, Star must look at the bodies of these guards to estimate how far the strength of the other party is from him. In this era where the strong are respected, finding the murderer is only the first step. The real second step is to rely on your own strength to kill the other party...

Because Roland's soul is still in the other party's hand, which is also the main reason why he can't use alchemy to resurrect Roland. Based on this alone, I can't predict the gap between the other party and my own strength. The most important thing is to look at the corpses to be able to locate them.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Starr couldn't help but be surprised when he saw these bodies.

"This is...!"

All the bodies are lifelike, and there seems to be no sign of death. As Goethe said, it all seemed to be asleep. If they hadn't completely lost the characteristics of their lives, even Star might not have been able to confirm their death. There is no body temperature at all, and the blood is completely coagulated... And the most surprising thing is that there are no scars on the surface of their bodies, as if their souls have been directly removed.

No wonder Goethe would say that they were like falling asleep.

Such a result is not difficult and shocking.

Moreover, what surprises Star most is not how these people died, but that they are all a group of strong men in the Holy Land. More than a hundred... Such a huge number can solve more than a hundred strong people in the Holy Land at random without making a sound or attracting anyone's attention in an instant. The strength of the other party is at least higher than himself.

"No, the other party is a real god!" This sound sounded in Star's mind.

Since you know the real strength of the other party, the scope of the next search has been narrowed. Moreover, it also proved that the word Roland left before his death was not a clue to mislead him. If judged in this way, then Roland's smile called 's weird' should also be a clue.

"Let everyone out. I want to see the characteristics of these corpses!" Star calmed down and said to Goethe.

No matter who it is, as long as you take action, the other party will inevitably leave the corresponding energy on the body. Maybe the other party was vigilant and did not leave any residual energy on Roland's body, but this would not happen in these hundreds of holy places!

Star couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth when he thought of this.
