Chapter 183 (2/2)

After they arrested the woman, Belem exhorted the bodyguard that, unless there was an emergency summons form the superior temple, he shouldn’t bother him!

However, the very next morning, the bodyguard heard that it had been quiet for a very long while in the room. So, he finally couldn’t help but move closer to take a peek. He saw that Belem was lying on the bed, without moving an inch, but the woman was nowhere to be seen.

“That was the story.” The image ended then, followed by Florame’s explaining, “I went to inspect the scene, and I can certify that there was no trace of charm magic. However, there were some remains of transformation magic, but very faint amounts. So, it shouldn’t be capable of causing any strong magical effect. Besides, I also found that there was a trace of divine power, but I couldn’t confirm which Majesty it was from.”

It wasn’t rare that high priest would use divine power to liven things up, when they were doing that sort of thing. So, everyone wasn’t surprised. They were, however, whispering into each other’s ears to discuss what the situation it might be exactly.

Although there was the continuous deaths of the four high priests, in actual fact, only the death of Belem Syrah was considered as a great affair. The rest of the high priests weren’t really even worth bringing up. If it wasn’t due to the fact that their deaths were linked to the death of the legendary expert, no matter how many high priests of higher levels died, it wouldn’t worth the attention of these higher ups.

“The background of the woman, what was the result of that investigation?” the elder asked.

“It could be certified that she was an assassin.” Florame had already investigated this, so he immediately answered. “No one in the city had ever seen her before. The two main fruit wholesalers in the city also said that they have never sold their fruits to such a beautiful woman, either. Even the guards at the city gate didn’t see her entering or exiting the city.”

“And?”

“I have checked the dead body thoroughly. Although I don’t really believe it, Belem appears to not have been injured, poisoned, or cursed. He merely died of exhaustion, which was caused by excessive indulgence.” Florame looked like he was at loss. “I checked multiple times, and confirmed that it was really so.”

“This is ridiculous!” the other bearman expert shouted. “They only did it for a night! With Belem’s stamina, fighting for ten days to half a month wouldn’t even exhaust him!”

“Yeah, no matter how great the woman was, I can’t believe that she could have exhausted Belem to death!” the other pastor of legendary realm said.

Florame sighed and looked at the elder. The elder creased his eyebrows. He wasn’t doubtful of Florame’s capability, especially when it involved the cause of death of a legendary expert.

However, to think that such a way of dying, doing it for a night and then succumbing to excessive indulgence, could have happened to a legendary expert, it was simply ridiculous! He closed his eyes, and there was a strange ripple on his body.

As one of the very few semi-god experts in the main dimension, he could contact various Orc Gods at anytime. He could even visit their respective holy kingdoms by using his soul directly.

Although it would be rude if he did so, in order to find out the truth, he had to be impolite just once, in order to talk to the person who was directly involved. In the world, the concept of “the dead cannot bear witness” did not exist. Even if a person died, his soul would remain. If one really wanted to investigate, he could question the soul directly. It’s the same concept, but just a little bit more troublesome.

After a while, the ripples on the elder’s body settled down. He then slowly opened his eyes. Every legendary experts fixed their curious gazes at him, waiting for his updates.

“Hehe… It’s magical…” The elder squinted his eyes and smiled. “Florame, your examination results are correct!”

“What?!” A few people exclaimed at the same time.

Did this legendary pastor with the title Raging Iron Arm really have too much fun in the bed and die of exhaustion, due to excessive indulgence?!

“Oh my God…” A pigman mage was so surprised, he forgot about the standard common language that he had been practicing for years. He instead spoke with his tribal accent, which utterly disdained!

“Then… That woman…” Florame responded first, asking politely.

The elder snorted. “Florame, leave the rest of the things aside and trace this woman. It is rare to find such a woman that could solely rely on flirtatious measures that could make someone like Belem lose his rationality and indulge in sensual pleasures, even unto death! It might likely be even a high level assassin that some Cthulhu churches nurtured in secret!”

Every legendary expert was suddenly solemn, and their faces grew grave. The way the matter had developed, its severity had shot up increasingly fast. In comparison, the deaths of merely a few high priests that had yet to enter the legendary realm, they had already practically forgotten about them.

Hence, a few days later, there were more high priests that passed away, yet the woman never appeared again. In the underground maze, the pink piglet was dancing with joy. She was boasting about her accomplishments with the huge green jellyfish that was lying on the ground.

She was feeling utterly proud…
