Chapter 523 Just Tell Me Whether It Should Be Kept Fresh or Not

Chapter 524 Just say it’s fresh or not

In an instant, Cardinal Matilda fell silent.

A ripple of silence echoed among the four people who silently stared at the corpse.

Since this house has just been built, no one has lived in it before...

So where did this body come from?

Aiwass subconsciously looked back at Sherlock.

——Is this your problem?

Although Sherlock is not in the form of a child now... but from another perspective, isn't it true that the detective who turned into a child encountered big cases just after he returned to his adult form?

Sherlock glanced at Aiwass inexplicably, then walked up very consciously and squatted down to observe the body.

But as soon as he squatted down, he frowned.

Because the body was so clean, there were no clues at all.

She is a female elf who looks to be in her twenties or thirties, with short curly brown hair. She was also wearing a red robe that could only be worn by a bishop.

——This is an elf bishop.

After she was released, her abdomen gradually became soaked. Blood slowly seeped out from inside. But it only slightly soaked the palm-sized clothes and stopped spreading.

Her expression was also very calm, without any trace of struggle. Her skin still retains its elasticity, it is white but not pale, and her body temperature is only warm but not cold.

It was as if she had just died when she opened the cupboard.

According to the "preservation ability" just introduced by Cardinal Matilda, it can only be determined that her death time was within a month.

"...It's completely impossible to tell the time of death."

Sherlock shook his head and tried to collect the rest of the information: "The wound is on the abdomen... Can I check it?"

He said, politely looking back at Cardinal Matilda who remained silent.

After all, he is no longer a child now. Although the deceased was right in front of him, this was not Avalon. As an advisor to the Inspectorate, he did not have the authority to touch the corpse at will in the Theocracy.

Cardinal Matilda sighed: "Come and check, Detective Hermes."

Hearing this, Sherlock took off the clothes of the corpse and examined the wounds.

And Aiwass realized from Cardinal Matilda's expression and attitude that she seemed to know this person.

When Shylock was examining the body, he approached the Cardinal and asked, "Who is she?"

"Her name is Mercedes, you must not recognize her."

Cardinal Matilda sighed: "But Gray knows him."

"...Your Highness the Saint?"

Aiwass was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Are you Chunbai's friend?"

——If he didn't have a "long date", then the person who accompanied him here at this time and introduced these facilities should be the Gray Saint.

Then she would see the body fall out of here... maybe even fall directly into her arms.

"He is a mutual friend of Gray and Yanis. He also grew up with them."

Cardinal Matilda shook her head and spoke slowly: "Maybe the relationship is not as good as between them. But now she is the only friend who stays with Gray..."

...Is this a provocation? Is anyone upset with Grey?

An idea popped into Aiwass' mind.

——No, that's not right.

Aiwass immediately dispelled this somewhat fluky idea.

It's not that simple.

Because the only people who entered this house, except for the papal guards who came to put their luggage before, were the owner of this house and other cardinals.

Judging from Cardinal Matilda's reaction, it seems that it is not a secret that the Gray Saint has begun to become amber. In other words, other cardinals are very likely to know about it.

Judging from the Saint's overly heavy feelings for Janis, it seems that her pyrexia is related to the fact that Janis left her without saying goodbye for two hundred years.

At this time, if you kill the saint's remaining friend and expose the body in front of her eyes... there is no doubt that it will stimulate her further.

Aihuas heart suddenly tightened.

...So it turns out that the plot has already begun?

"It's a little weird, I'll talk about it later."

Sherlock put his clothes back on, stood up, turned around and frowned and said: "The amount of bleeding is too small, it may be due to other reasons. Because logically speaking, this kind of wound should not be enough to kill someone, let alone a bishop... She should also be at the third level, right?"

"Yes. As far as I know," Cardinal Matilda replied, "Bishop Mercedes has reached the third level on at least three paths - she is not a professional, but a inheritor."

"Inheritor?"

Aiwass was a little confused: "What's going on? Aren't the Pope's guards all inheritors?"

"Although some young elves... such as Yanis have careers. But Gray and Mercedes are both inheritors. She is a candidate for the saint."

Not all young elves have a "career."

After all, the career system is a new thing recently developed by Weizhe and Sha Shijie, and it has just appeared for more than a thousand years. Through the approval of the corresponding profession by the Pillar God and Tiansi, the corresponding authority symbol is provided.

In this way, the scattered and chaotic professional inheritance was successfully anchored in the name of the gods.

This can ensure that the extraordinary person will not go astray, and it can be regarded as sorting out the ability system. Let the extraordinary abilities that were originally the same for each person be integrated.

It is entirely possible that the ancient extraordinary people in the past accidentally read some mystical books that they should not have mastered, mastered some mysterious knowledge that deviated from the path, and their souls were polluted, deviated to another path, or received knowledge from different great beings in the same path and developed schizophrenia.

This is impossible under the professional system - it is not within the scope of ability that the profession can master, even the mysterious skills of the same path cannot be mastered. As long as the job change is completed, you can directly obtain extraordinary abilities with a very high degree of completion. As long as it is a road that someone has walked, others can follow this road and get the same profession and the same ability after passing the test.

This is also a kind of "demystification", which belongs to the core authority of the sand clock.

For example, "Illuminator" is a profession transformed from the inheritance of saints.

Aiwass is very likely to be the first person in modern times to master the job change of Illuminator, because this profession may have just been recorded by Wei Zhe. It is also possible that this is a profession that Sizhu does not want believers to work in.

Now looking back, the most standard god name of Sizhu is "God of Sin Binding Body" and "God of Burning Body and Driving Darkness".

These are the two professions that Sizhu directly belongs to.

The latter obviously corresponds to the Torch Burner, while the former corresponds to the Illuminator - in other words, the Illuminator is destined to be bound by the thorns of sin.

Sizhu does not want his believers to bear the original sin that should have been borne by Him, so he does not encourage believers to switch to Illuminator. That's why he came to Aiwass and asked him whether he wanted to switch back to the Torch Burner.

In ancient times, it was a path of inheritance opened up by an elf saint. Her inheritance was not written into the secret book, but buried in the ruins - the statue she turned into after her death should be on the sixth or seventh floor. Only by contacting the statue of the saint can you find the possibility of taking this path.

This is like a decryption game, and the password of the safe is theoretically in another puzzle. But this number is fixed, and Aiwass directly entered it after checking the strategy.

But not all inheritances of extraordinary power are set as professions by the two pillar gods.

Those inheritances that require multiple paths to be mixed, or even special bloodlines or skills to be inherited, are basically not recorded as professions. For example, the Son of the Moon, the Werewolf, the Demon transformed from the Demon, and some special inheritances mastered by the Elves... or "Shepherds".

The biggest difference between professionals and inheritors lies in the direction of the resonance of the Tao.

The soul of a professional will be affected by the profession and purified by the Tao... For example, Bishop Mathers has been stuck at level 39 for a long time.

He said before... He was afraid that he would be infected by the power of the Tao at the fifth energy level and change his personality and mind.

The transformation of the body by the profession can make the professional's state more stable and prevent him from losing control or losing power.

The inheritor must rely on his resonance with the Tao to reach the corresponding energy level. Once the resonance of the corresponding Tao is lost, the ability will even decline - this is a more primitive state. Just like muscles that have not been exercised for a long time will become fat, and skills that have not been learned for a long time will be forgotten.

Without the anchoring effect of "profession", once the original heart is completely lost - even for a moment, the extraordinary ability will be immediately lost.

But for elves, who are much more emotionally stable than other races, they basically won't lose their power for this reason. Elves believe that the "professional system" is mainly an ability born for short-lived species with more unstable emotions, and it is a power that short-lived species will try to master - in the long time, elves have enough time to carve themselves into a posture that is more suitable for accepting the corresponding inheritance.

Many elves, although they are less than a thousand years old and were born after the birth of the professional system, will still become inheritors.

This is mainly due to the influence of elders and society.

"In my opinion, one of the reasons why Janice left the Church is Betinatia's amber."

Cardinal Matilda said slowly: "Betinatia is the inheritor. She was originally Janice's mentor.

"Sometimes Gray would tell me that she thinks Janice may have this reason for not coming back. In our Church, the status of inheritors is generally higher... After all, the profession is there, and anyone can change jobs, but the inheritor must have someone to guide one-on-one. Inheritance means having mentors, parents, and reliable, trustworthy, and traceable social relationships.

"So we elves have a strong sense of inheritance, and sometimes the mentor who inherits the mantle is more important than the parents.

"In the teenage years when the worldview is just beginning to be formed, in order to receive the inheritance, you need to stay with the mentor for a long time, and the time spent together is more than ten times longer than that of the parents. Some mentors will not even let the children go home in order to prevent the parents from having a bad influence on the children and thus deviating from the inheritance requirements.

"From this point of view, Janice is like an orphan. After Betinadia's amber, although Janice could choose other mentors to continue studying, she still chose to flee the church and become a professional..."

Cardinal Matilda's eyes were complicated: "I think, at least at that time...she should be inferior. They may have quarreled, or maybe not. But since then, Gray has become much less talkative and no longer makes new friends.

"Bishop Mercedes is Grey's only friend. She received the same inheritance as Grey, but because of her more lively personality and her lower affinity with the Saint, she can be said to be a 'failed Saint'. When Grey reached the fifth energy level of the dual path, Mercedes could only reach the third energy level.

"Her road has come to an end, but she is unwilling to become a professional. Maybe it's because of self-esteem, or maybe she just wants to accompany the lonely Grey. Therefore, she has been hanging on the twenty-first floor for a long time, continuing to receive Saint training... I always think that this is good. At least little Grey can have a companion, someone to chat with her.

"...Fortunately, it's not Grey who came here with you."
