Lord of Secrets

Chapter 324 323. Novella's Investigation

"Amon-Ra, you are so rude!"

At this time, Ifudes's voice interrupted Ubermore's thoughts.

"I think you won't mind," Ubermore replied.

Evedes smiled and responded: "Of course, you are the little man I love deeply."

Before Ubermo could speak, Ifudes' eyes were clear and she continued: "If you don't come, I will be completely free."

Umbermo's heart trembled when he heard this.

Ifudes didn't tell him everything before, she just said that when Damonas was handed over to her, the other party seemed extremely confident at that time.

So, if Ubermo doesn't come.

Evedes may really have faced death calmly.

Ubermo can understand how desperate a person's heart is before he can die calmly.

...He was once too.

However, if Evedes clearly told Ubermo in advance, then nothing unexpected would happen, and Ubermo would rescue Evedes as agreed.

But...Evedes didn't.

Ubermo suddenly understood something, such as why she told Ubermo her identity in the first place... Ubermo opened his lips lightly, wanting to say something.

But Everdes interrupted him.

She put her fingers lightly on her lips and said softly: "A woman's love can be very cheap."

Especially when a woman is extremely numb... Evedes looked at Ubermo quietly, then said: "I'm going back first."

Ubermo said with concern: "Be careful, don't be so fragile."

The corners of Evedes' lips curved, and then she left briskly.

…

"Where have you been?"

Ubermo looked at Balaluo who had just arrived and asked.

Ban Laluo said helplessly: "I don't think she wants me to disturb you, and 'Xiao La' is also very scared."

"Let's go and have a look at Bernari Town." Ubermo put away the special items that Evedes didn't like and said nothing more.

The Black Death lurking in Bernari Town has been reported anonymously by Dezuosi to the Church of Storms in the nearby area. I believe they can handle this matter.

Bernalli Town.

The environment of the town is not particularly good, and because it is close to Trova Mountain, the mountain winds are cold and rainy, and there are often rain and fog. In addition, the town does not have a good sanitation system, and the discharge of garbage and sewage has become a problem.

This also provides a breeding ground for rats and rat fleas, which continue to breed, and the poor do not have the conditions to pay attention to hygiene.

Eventually, an infectious disease breaks out.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time.

…

At this time, it was already morning, and some people no longer had symptoms such as fever and difficulty coughing. This should be the result of the Church of Storms taking action.

Of course, the Church of Storms has the purpose of spreading the influence of the church. After all, high-quality believers usually come from poor people, who are easier to bribe and whose beliefs are more stable.

As for the influence of the Church of Storms, due to the situation, in the final analysis it is only limited to the upper class of society, and the people at the bottom have no time to care about this.

…

Of course, in Ubermore's view, if one wants to spread influence without considering the moral aspect, one has to wait until the Black Death breaks out. This is the moment when people are most grateful to the Church of Storms.

However, the Church of Storms was not cruel to that point after all.

…

"Father Renali, remember to do a good job in publicity."

The middle-aged man in a plaid shirt said.

"I understand, Mr. Novella." Renali, dressed as a priest, said respectfully.

He is just an ordinary priest, and he is naturally very respectful to Novella.

After Renali left, Novella knocked on the table, listened to the melodic voice, and fell into thinking.

He had just returned from Xisong recently. The complexity of the matter gave him a headache, so he took a vacation in the small town of Detroit.

But he didn't expect to encounter someone anonymously writing a letter to report that a large-scale infectious disease would occur in Bernari Town. Novella immediately wondered whether this was fake.

After all, some people lack common sense, and in the past, people from cults continued to report indiscriminately, wasting their human resources.

But if this is true...

With Novella's wisdom, he immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity. Because the Church of Storms’ previous sphere of influence was mainly in the territory of the Kingdom of Baimen in the northwest, and it often clashed with cults, it could not spare many personnel and could not expand its influence on the grassroots people.

Until recently, the Church of Storms finally rested.

Fortunately, Novella is fine too.

So that’s what’s happening now.

But Novella was not thinking about these, but the person who reported it. This may not be surprising, but Novella always felt something was wrong.

This infectious disease is difficult to detect during the incubation period, and those who get sick are usually poor people in slums. They are unable to treat the disease and can only wait to die.

This is normal, and countless people die from the disease every year.

What's more, the lives of untouchables are not valuable to the upper class, so how can they pay attention to this one.

In other words, a person in a remote town would actually know that this was an infectious disease and report it to the Church of Storms?

At this time, Novella could only think about the kind people passing by.

However, at this time, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Novella said.

Seeing that it was Father Renali, he asked: "Father Renali, do you have anything else to do?"

"Your Excellency Novella, we have received news that Countess Bugina of Rose Castle is dead." Father Renali said quickly.

"What?" Novella said in shock.

It was not that he cared about the life and death of a mere noble, but that Bugina happened to die during this time period, which made Novella immediately think about the person who reported her.

Only then did he figure out what was wrong, right at the beginning of the letter.

——That is a report letter, not a report letter.

However, because the letter did not specify what the report was about, but instead informed about a possible outbreak of infectious diseases, Novella did not pay much attention to it.

But at this moment, after hearing the news of Bugina's death, Novella seemed to have grasped something.

At this time, another person walked in.

"Novilla, Laria noticed that the Black Death seemed to be man-made, and there was a supernatural power behind it."

Novella raised his head and glanced at the rugged man, patted the table, stepped forward and hugged the man, and said happily: "Thank you very much. It's time to stand up. I finally know."

The reason why Novella has a higher status is not because of her strength, but because of his wisdom, so he did not notice the traces of these extraordinary powers at the first time.

At this moment, after Gai Lipei said this, he sorted out all the clues in an instant, and immediately got the truth, that is, Bugina tried to launch the Black Death, and then someone discovered it.

This is how it all goes.

However, this still needs to be confirmed.

"By the way, how did you know that Bugina was dead?" Novella thought of something and asked Father Renali.

He also heard that this woman was reclusive and had a violent personality. She basically did not communicate with outsiders. Even if she died one day, no one would know.

Oh, no, people know it now.

Father Renali replied: "Her attendant said it when he returned to Bernari."

Without waiting for Novella's prompting, Renali explained: "They felt some movement last night, and a foul, burning smell spread out, which seemed to come from the direction of Bugina's bedroom.

"But because of Bugina's usual reign of terror, no one dared to investigate. It wasn't until a maid passed by to clean that she discovered that Bugina's bedroom door had been burned down. Through the crack, a horrific scene was revealed inside. The maid immediately screamed With.

"The attendants outside the castle had the courage to enter inside and found the dead Bugina. They quickly fled back to Bernali Town."

In the battle last night, there was actually very little movement.

Even though Damonas came, he was led by Evedes all the way, and even ended up like a dead mouse, unable to even move.

"The time of death should have been last night." Novella analyzed, and then he looked at the Lipe, "Do you think Bugina was the driving force behind the Black Death?"

Gailipei seemed to be in a state of wandering. He was asked by Novela. He just said "Ah" in confusion, and then he reacted and said: "I believe you, just what you say is true."

"I knew I shouldn't ask you." Novella sighed.

He envied the detectives in many novels who had a capable assistant. Although he was not a detective, the nature of the work was the same.

If you think too much, you might as well see it for yourself.

Novella stood up, picked up the hat on the table, patted it and put it on, and then said to Gailipe: "Ask Laria to follow me to Rose Castle, and you will be responsible for Bernali Town. Remember Clean up those rats and everything.”

"Ah, rats!" Gailipei's face looked a little bitter. He was most afraid of rats.

"Anyway, it's up to you!"

…

"Dirty smell."

Novella glanced at Bugina's former bedroom and said with a frown.

Laria instead said: "There is also the breath of the sun."

Novella snorted and said, "It still smells dirty."

Hearing this, Laria's gray eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "It's okay. Didn't you like lying on the beach under the scorching sun?"

Novella did not answer, but looked at Laria and said, "Don't you hate the sun?"

"I do hate the sun, but I don't hate the embrace of the sun." Laria said.

Novella looked at Laria quietly, and then asked doubtfully: "Are you in love?"

Laria laughed out loud and said: "I guess so!"
