Chapter Twenty-One: The Great Detective Precott
The first to arrive is the detective duo, the Temple Trio. Then Raphael, Yárvis, Dalena, and Alan arrived, and Raphael inserted the young hunters of Reese Village into his city defenses. The rest of the staff, Raphael, planned to let them build their homes first, after all, the homes they built were more cohesive. Arriving in a new place, having a new home is more secure than anything else.
Raphael was just checking to see what was suitable for this homestead in Yuba Town, and Yalvis duly told him that there was an abandoned lumber yard nearby that might be a good fit, and it was only about two kilometers away from Yuba Town. Raphael plans to take the people of Reece Village to see it tomorrow and the next two days, and if he can, he will make a decision.
……
"Knight Raphael, I can see that the way this guard died is very similar to the work of the devil!" Precott said with a pale face, he didn't expect this devil to be so bold and reckless, and actually killed a guard under his nose! What a shame! Is it the devil who has already sensed the problem in advance and kills people, or is it angry and killing? Precott didn't know, but he knew they were negligent! Because judging by the temperature of the corpse, it is very likely that this devil is venting his anger and killing people.
It should be because Kenneth has a lot of information, so that the devil will kill Kenneth even when he has suffered a heavy blow! This made Precott's face even worse, because it could be a very important message! And now that the message is broken, it proves that his mission this time is really nothing to gain at all! This made Precott a little annoyed, wouldn't it be more valuable to focus on the devil first at the beginning, but on this person first?
It's a pity that there is only such a corpse in front of him now......
"And your uncle is dead, too! But it should be a suicide death! Maybe he woke up because the devil killed his guards and killed himself! Precott made a guess, after all, the devil had no interest in dead creatures. The most likely scenario is that he chose to commit suicide when the devil killed the guards!
At this time, there should really be a familiar BGM, and Precott in a blue suit, white shirt, gray shorts and red bow tie appeared, and then there was only one truth. Detective Precott 'reconstructed' the events and the outcome, which Raphael gave eleven points for! One more point is to make Precott proud!
"Although he did something very stupid, his last awakening proved that he still has a conscience, and may the light of the Shining Goddess shine into his heart!" Precott reverently recited the eulogy, and the two Templars bowed their heads.
"Pastor Precott, could you please give my uncle's funeral, maybe he did something to hurt me. But he's at least my family! Raphael closed his eyes in prayer as well, and then pleaded with Precott.
"It's my pleasure, Knight Raphael! For your noble qualities, I will also help you with this! Precott placed his spear on his chest and paid a slight tribute to Raphael. At the same time, he readily agreed to Raphael's request. This is a noble knight! Precott has a better opinion of Raphael, but it's a pity that he is not a knight of the goddess! At the same time, he expressed the same emotion as Bishop Augsig.
The funeral was prepared quickly, because Kenneth was tempted by the devil and fell, so the funeral was not of a high standard. It's about the same as the size of an ordinary wealthy businessman who died. It was only at Raphael's request that such specifications exist. Otherwise, it will be a hasty burial at most, which is inferior to ordinary people.
After all, this is not something to be celebrated.
A coffin made of Yuki wood was carried by the guards to a cemetery near Yuba Town. Originally, Raphael wanted to bury Kenneth in the family cemetery, but Precott objected. He said that this was not good for the dead souls of the Raphaels. Kenneth's entry threatens to pollute Abraham's family cemetery! Cause bad effects.
Raphael also expressed his understanding of the temple's rhetoric. Because he knew that what Precott said was not unreasonable, and that some necromancy was created because the soul was polluted and then mutated. Therefore, for the corpses of infidels, the temple usually carries out very strict extermination!
If it weren't for Kenneth's suicide, Proster would certainly not have spared Kenneth's body and buried him.
"May Your Death Wash You From Your Sins"
"May you be able to receive the light from the Goddess"
"May Your Soul Be Liberated"
……
It is said that Kenneth was bewitched by some cultists, but at the last moment he insisted on the persistence of a Yuki Collar nobleman and fought with the cultists, but unfortunately the mad cultists killed him! Precott confirmed the news, and the people paid their respects to the Abrahamic nobleman who had made the last stand against the cultists!
Precott quit Raphael after helping Kenneth with his funeral, because he felt that he was leaving without face. Nothing was done, and it cost the family so much money. Precott was a little reluctant to go, and said that if Raphael needed him for anything, he would definitely come to the Temple of Glory to find him. He will definitely help Raphael!
Raphael expressed his gratitude. Knowing that the three of them had made up their minds, Raphael did not continue to be polite, and asked Yalvis to prepare some dry food and water bladders for them.
The departure of the Temple Trio was nothing to lose to Raphael, who felt ashamed that his mission had not been completed, but Raphael felt that they had done what they had set out for. Banishing the devil and making the devil abandon his nightmare sword, Raphael feels that he may not see this devil baron again unless a new devil comes to fight his own ideas.
And Raphael believes that even if he encounters it next time, this devil baron will not be able to make any waves!
So Raphael is actually very grateful to the three of Precott, at least he doesn't feel that his Kinsol is not worth it, he himself thinks it is worth spending anyway, and he uses money to buy time, if such a deal is not worth it, Raphael really doesn't know what else is worth it!
But since Precott felt guilty, Raphael was willing to accept it. After all, he has a good relationship with the Shining Goddess Temple now, and as for any plans to clash with this goddess, Raphael is naturally happy to maintain a certain amount of goodwill with a god who is not strong and does not have any bad intentions!
