Listening to the words of the injured guard, Vanya continued to explain.
"It's like this. Since a better medical team from the church will be here soon, I need to make some advance preparations for their treatment. In order to better prescribe medication for everyone, I need to understand some basic physical conditions of the wounded, including Her Royal Highness the Princess, mainly their life span and medical history.
"In addition, we may have to help the Security Bureau conduct a preliminary examination of the bodies. To facilitate the examination, we also need to understand the basic situation of the deceased. The deceased are mainly His Royal Highness the Duke, himself, and his and His Royal Highness the Princess's close guards. They are your colleagues and servants. In order to facilitate the subsequent work, please cooperate with us to understand the situation."
With a gentle tone, Vanya said this to the wounded. Before the large forces of the church and the Security Bureau arrived, Vanya was now the medical leader and the highest official commander here, so the injured duke and princess guards began to cooperate with her to register the basic information of the wounded and the dead. Since Vanya's reasons were legitimate enough, her actions did not arouse any suspicion.
After all, it is perfectly legitimate for a doctor to ask a patient what his name is, how old he is, and how his health is...and for a forensic doctor to ask people around the deceased about the deceased's specific physical condition and how old he was...
In this way, Vanya collected intelligence from the injured guard, and after a while, she collected key information about Duke Barrett and his age from the injured Duke's guard.
After collecting all the information, Vanya immediately prayed silently in her heart, prayed to Aka, and prayed the information she had obtained to Dorothy.
…
In the cold wind on the street, Dorothy sat with her knees hugged, calculating in her mind with chattering teeth after receiving the information from Vanya.
"Hiss... Baa, Barrett is 64 years old. He had his 64th birthday party on August 12th last year. The Angel was the first day of the 1360th year of the Glorious Calendar, and last year was 1359th year. So his date of birth is August 12th of the 1295th year of the Glorious Calendar..."
In Cold Wind, Dorothy calculated Barrett's date of birth. This date is very likely to be true, because based on the strength shown by Barrett, he is not the kind of extraordinary person who can have a long life.
To be assassinated like this, Barrett, as a Beyonder, must be no higher than the rank of the Cerberus. Dorothy knew that the rank of the Cerberus was not enough to extend lifespan. The only several hundred-year-old monsters Dorothy knew were Aldridge, Deer Skull, a disabled golden and a Synthesizer, and Beverly, a clockwork man of unknown strength.
With Dorothy's current extraordinary experience, she can judge that if there is no special method, the life span of extraordinary people below the level of Creator should not be much longer than that of ordinary people. Once they achieve extraordinary accomplishments, they seem to be able to live for hundreds of years. The achievement of extraordinary accomplishments seems to be a relatively large leap.
After calculating the date, Dorothy quickly controlled Brandon to inform Nefernis.
"Sir, I already know more about the messenger..."
In the alley, Brandon spoke to Nephnis who was in the state of relying on the Uta Wind Soul. After listening to the message from the medium, the other party nodded slightly, began to raise her hands, and chanted the spell of the spirit seal silently, using the medium's power to strengthen the summoning ceremony, and the effect was immediate.
"Very good, the necromancer who was fighting against me can no longer resist my power. I have successfully attracted that spirit. Just wait a moment, and he will appear soon."
After finishing the spell, Nefernis said in a vicissitudes of life tone. Listening to her words, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to wait patiently for the result of the summoning of the spirit.
After another three or four hours, accompanied by a gust of cold wind blowing through the alley, a blurry shadow gradually emerged in the center of the soul-summoning magic circle, and it became clearer and clearer.
After a while, Barrett's pale, translucent spirit appeared in the center of the magic circle. He had a dull look on his face and was wearing the dress he wore for the party. There were scars all over his body from being cut by sharp blades, and there was a deep wound on his neck, just like he looked before he died.
"I have summoned the spirit you requested. If you have any questions, just ask. I will use an imperial decree to make him answer you. Don't worry about not being able to answer your questions.
"But you'd better ask quickly. The necromancer who fought against me before has not given up on necromancy. He is still harassing me. I'm afraid I can't hold on for long with just this one soul." Nefernis, who was relied on by Uta, said this. After hearing her words, Dorothy's heart was lifted, and then she asked Brandon to say with gratitude.
"Thank you, sir."
After thanking him, Brandon looked at the dull-looking Barrett spirit in the magic circle and asked.
"Your Excellency the Duke, I heard that you are conducting research on the Mirror Moon Statue, right?"
"Yes." Barrett answered simply, and Brandon asked further.
"So how is your research going? Are there any interesting results?"
"Of course. Based on the clues provided by the Security Bureau, I visited all the Jingyue statues they controlled and became deeply interested in these goddess statues scattered all over Prit. Later, in order to investigate the relationship between the statues and Prit, I entered the royal forbidden book room in Yuelan Palace and searched for various materials. I started with..."
"Stop, there's no need to say too much. You just need to tell me one thing. Is the Mirror Moon Goddess the Pure Color God of the Shadow Realm? If so, do you have her holy emblem in your hand?"
Dorothy asked Brandon to interrupt what Barrett was saying. When she saw that Barrett was about to start answering like an academic report, she suddenly realized that asking directly about the research results would cause the other party to start a long speech, so she immediately stopped him and turned to ask the key questions she needed.
After all, now Uta is only using a wisp of soul to summon souls, and the time for summoning souls is limited. Moreover, if Barrett talks about the results directly, he will inevitably talk about the knowledge of identifying poisons. He doesn't mind listening to the knowledge of identifying poisons directly, but Uta can't stand it.
After being interrupted and questioned by Brandon, Barrett paused for a moment and then continued to answer.
"According to my research, it is almost certain that this goddess who once had a great influence in Pritt had a powerful sect studying the field of 'shadow' in the Third Age. This sect has a master-servant god structure very similar to the Radiant Cult. The Mirror Moon Goddess is undoubtedly the main god of the 'shadow' field.
"I have also done research on His holy emblem. When I was excavating the ruins in the Razor Mountain area, I unearthed an item that was suspected to be the holy emblem of the Goddess Mirror Moon. Now this item is in the research room of my mansion."
