“We have repeatedly confirmed and reached a conclusion. That is, although Yog’s summoning array can affect the third underground level of the castle, it is some distance away from the scene where Kasha was killed.

“If Yog wanted to send his undead minions to fake the scene or launch an attack on Kasha, he would have to take his troops around the majority of the fortress and enter the underground through the steam boiler room. This is impossible, as many people saw him near the castle that night. Our informant in the fortress can also prove that Yoga stayed on the ground and never went underground.

“After realizing that my investigation direction was wrong, I immediately started looking for new clues. I quickly received new information from the army cleaning up the ruins of the fortress.”

Continuing, Lieutenant Cavado placed another document on the table:

“On the night the Korabo Corps Fortress fell, about 20 soldiers who had committed mistakes were imprisoned in the isolation room on the third underground level. These soldiers all died horribly in the fire in the guard room but one escaped – Sin Soldier No. 888, Noland Lee Jarvis.

“The army that cleared the castle ruins confirmed they did not see the body of Noland Lee Jarvis. The person who confirmed this was Corporal Mars, Jarvis’s direct superior.

“It’s worth noting that the door connecting the guard room to the staircase was locked from the inside. The fire that killed the soldiers was also confined to the guard room. All these signs indicate that someone helped Noland Lee Jarvis escape the isolation room and faked his death.”

“It was then that I remembered, the range of Yog’s summoning array included the underground isolation room…”

Morster raised his hand, interrupting Cavado’s speech:

“You’re saying that after the soldiers in the isolation room died, Yog turned them into walking dead, helping Noland Lee Jarvis escape from the third underground level. Then, Yog manipulated the walking dead to lock the guard room door from the inside, and set a fire, faking Jarvis’s death, right? So you think Noland Lee Jarvis is Yog’s accomplice. They conspired to murder Kasha together?”

“No, Chief Officer. I think the murderer is Noland Lee Jarvis. Because Yog has only shown his extraordinary abilities to control the walking dead, our informant has not seen him commanding skeleton warriors. At the scene of Kasha’s murder, I only saw the remains of skeleton warriors, and the undead attacking the steam boiler room were also just skeleton warriors.”

Lieutenant Cavado took a deep breath:

“So, I finally concluded that Noland Lee Jarvis is the murderer. But… but, I can’t figure it out. How did he command the skeleton warriors? I asked everyone who had been in contact with Noland Lee Jarvis, and everyone reported they saw no traces of death energy erosion on him. His complexion is normal, his speech is full, and he shows no signs of weakness or shortness of breath.” Morster pondered for a moment, and asked:

“Cavado, assuming that Noland Lee Jarvis is the murderer, the grudge between him and Kasha would be his motive. But the gap in their strength is too wide, isn’t it? I’ve observed Noland Lee Jarvis; he’s just an ordinary person who’s just been injected with a strengthening potion, without any energy fluctuations. Have you thought about how he could kill Kasha before she could react? And also, do you think the person who faked the crime scene at the underground river was Noland Lee Jarvis?”

“Yes, Chief Officer. I even suspect that the team of skeleton warriors attacking the underground boiler room was arranged by Noland Lee Jarvis, but… vadum, vadum, vadum.’

Morster finished the sentence for him:

“But the fact that Noland Lee Jarvis shows no signs of contamination from death confuses you, and you always replace it hard to believe your own conjecture, right?”

“Yes, Chief Officer. Anyone who has been in contact with forbidden power will show obvious outward characteristics. Yog also has them, but they have been concealed by his physical defects for a long time.

“Noland Lee Jarvis has no physical defects, and we see no abnormalities on him. But one thing is clear; Noland Lee Jarvis is very knowledgeable about death magic. When Kasha arrested him, he raved and ranted, accurately predicting the fall of Korabo Corps Fortress. This part of the content is also in my report.”

Lieutenant Cavado opened the document and showed it to the Chief Officer.

Morster read it aloud while reading:upda@te by new novel. or g

‘”Talk about the Empire, talk about the undead, talk about the damn Suffering Borderland,’ ‘You’re all just like idiots,’ ‘only being led by the nose by the enemy’… Hmm, interesting. Noland Lee Jarvis spoke his mind; he’s always been impatient with us and clearly knows the crux of this life-and-death battle. I initially arranged for a nurse to be his love interest, hoping to use love to weaken his 10. but he didn’t fall for it and became even more awake. Such a highly intelligent person is the hardest to deal with.”

Morster’s ten fingers shook rhythmically, making a wave-like curve.

“Cavado, I have some guesses.”

“I’m all ears, Chief Officer.”

“The one who killed Kasha was not Jarvis but a wizard from the Death Herald Guild. On the night the fortress fell, Yog received instructions from the object of his prayers during his prayer. He helped Jarvis escape from the isolation room and guided him to meet with the wizard from the Death Herald Guild. After they met, they both left the fortress through the underground river..”
