Chapter 517: Searching for the Spirit

Conquer the southern coast of the sea, Kankerdar.

In the afternoon, on a road on the edge of the local residential area of ​​Kankedal, a carriage was moving slowly forward. In the carriage, Dorothy and Nephthys sat opposite each other. As the carriage moved forward, Dorothy explained the current situation to Nephthys, especially the great discovery she had made on Mazar's body yesterday.

"It's incredible... The Kankedal government, in order to frame Sister Vanya, actually did such a thing and killed all the people who were originally alive..."

Hearing Dorothy's words, Nephnesse spoke in disbelief, and Dorothy opposite her nodded in response.

"Yeah... I didn't expect those guys to be so cruel and suddenly do this. If I hadn't manipulated zombies frequently and had a very detailed grasp of the feel of manipulating zombies, I might have been tricked by these guys..."

Dorothy said with emotion that if someone else were to deal with this conspiracy by the Kankedar government, the probability of being tricked would be very high, because not everyone has the medical knowledge and corpse control level that is beyond the average level of the times like Dorothy. It is still difficult for ordinary people to discover the suspicious points on Mazar and confirm the reasons for the suspicious points.

'In the minds of those guys, Vanya should be protected by a mysterious force. After Evie appeared, this mysterious force would naturally be considered to be the faction that Evie belonged to in the church, a force that seemed to have a deep connection with the Virgin Mary faith.

'In the church, for the extraordinary people on the Path of the Virgin Mary except Vanya, although they have the ability to heal, they are not proficient in medical knowledge and only have basic level knowledge. Therefore, during the treatment, they need to pray to the Virgin Mary for healing guidance to ensure that the treatment is correct.

'This is different from Vanya, who knows profound medical knowledge and can guide me from beginning to end. She is both a doctor and a priest, and has met the double standards. Extraordinary people in the Path of the Virgin Mary in ordinary churches are priests first, and then work as doctors or doctors. They have medical knowledge but do not have a deep understanding. After all, medicine is a profound subject with many categories and high tuition. Before I study medicine, I have to study more in college. Extraordinary people in the Path of the Virgin Mary who leave the church are not medical people who focus on studying medicine. They also have work and practice as clergy. With limited energy, they cannot study medicine in depth.

'This situation is common among the extraordinary people of the Path of the Virgin in the church. At least before the red people have a sufficient life span, the extraordinary people of the Virgin will not have a deep understanding of medicine. And this time in Kankedar, Sister Evi, who is suspected of being a red person, doesn't look like an extraordinary person of the Path of the Virgin. Therefore, the Kankedar government dared to play this trick, sending Mazar's body here to lure us into the trap, because they are not afraid of Vanya finding out anything abnormal.'

Dorothy was thinking about this while sitting in the carriage. Then Nefernis, who was sitting opposite her, spoke to Dorothy again.

"Miss Dorothy, since we already know about the other party's conspiracy, isn't it time to fight back? We only need to use the fact that the time of death on Mazar's body is different from the time of death publicized by the Kankedar government as evidence, and we can bring them down, right?"

"If it were a normal criminal case, this evidence would be strong enough to help us recover a little. But unfortunately, this is not a normal case. The judges are a group of people with problematic positions. The strength of this evidence is far from enough. Not only will it not be able to do anything to the Kankedal government, but we will probably be charged with corpse theft by the judges. We need to bring them down first. What we need is decisive evidence that will silence them."

Dorothy responded to Nephnis' words. From her words, it could be heard that she had no hope of bringing down the Kankedal City Government simply by relying on the pile of evidence at present. After hearing Dorothy's response, Nephnis couldn't help but look a little disappointed.

"With evidence like this... it seems like we'll never find it no matter how hard we try." Scratching her head, Nephnis said with some distress, but Dorothy's response was somewhat unexpected to her.

"It's not hard to find. In fact, I already have some ideas now. I'm just taking you to find the evidence."

"Ah? Take me to find the evidence?"

Hearing Dorothy's words, Nephnesse's face showed confusion for a moment. She couldn't figure out what evidence she wanted Dorothy to take her to find.

Just like that, in confusion, Nephnis rode in the carriage all the way forward, and their carriage drove all the way to the edge of the city. As the low buildings outside the window became increasingly sparse and the road became increasingly rugged, they gradually began to leave the urban area of ​​Kankedal and entered the woods.

After traveling through the lush woods for a while, the carriage slowly stopped. After the corpse-coachman opened the door, Dorothy and Nephthys got off the carriage. Dorothy then walked into the woods, while Nephthys followed behind with confusion.

After passing through a small jungle, Dorothy brought Nephthy to a small open area. Nephthy glanced at the clearing in the woods in front of her, and she found that there were several figures of different appearances and heights standing here. They all seemed to be Dorothy's corpses, and on the ground in the middle of these corpses was a magic circle that had been arranged in advance. Judging from the spiritual symbols on the magic circle, this was a "silent" magic circle.

"Is this... a spirit-summoning magic circle? Miss Dorothy, are you going to..."

Looking at the magic circle on the ground, Nephnis, who had read her grandfather's notes, immediately recognized what it was. She then looked at Dorothy beside her, and Dorothy did not respond directly but snapped her fingers. After the snap, four other corpses walked out from the woods beside them. In the middle of them was a stretcher, on which lay a fat corpse. Nephnis recognized the corpse's face at once. She had seen this face more than once in newspapers and news in the past few days.

"This is... the body of Mazar? Miss Dorothy, are you trying to summon the soul of Mazar?"

With a look of surprise, Nefernis said to Dorothy, "The necromancy circle and Mazar's corpse, these two things put together, it's obvious what Dorothy wants to do."

"Yes, I want to summon the soul of Mazar. His soul is exactly the evidence, or witness, I am looking for."

With a smile, Dorothy spoke to Nephnis directly. After hearing what Dorothy said, Nephnis's brows showed doubts again, and she continued to ask Dorothy.

"Mazar's soul... Miss Dorothy, do you think... his soul can testify for us?"
