I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 46 Arrival at the Ruins

The noisy noise had already woken up Phil Gray and Patrick. They put on their clothes and went to the scene. They just happened to see the girl die in the room and heard the series of crying and screaming that followed.

Eli was surrounded by the farmer and many villagers, who seemed to be asking him for an explanation. The farmer even wanted to grab his clothes, but an ordinary person was naturally no match for the one favored by God, and Eli dodged it easily.

Phil Gray's face darkened. After asking Ernest, he found out what happened. He believed that his companions would not attack an ordinary girl.

With divine power gathered in his eyes, he turned his gaze towards the farmer.

The long river of fate flows slowly, and a person's life destiny is entirely included in it.

It was the first time he used the Eye of Destiny on an ordinary person, and the effect was surprisingly good.

He saw the farmer's life, which was all about stealing and not doing anything good. Before Eli, he had used the same trick to cheat more than ten gold coins from two passing travelers and built the largest yard and house in the village. However, the farmer also liked to go to Dur City to gamble, and the remaining money was squandered by him, so he used the same trick again. He saw the girl in the scene begging for mercy and sighed.

But, after all, the farmer just wanted to cheat some money, so why did the girl die?

He pushed aside the villagers who were blocking the door and walked towards the girl's body. The farmer's wife was hugging the body and crying. When she saw him, she shouted, "You are all in the same group. What did you do to my daughter?"

Ernest took out his sword from his waist, and the cold light shone on everyone's face, and then he stabbed it into the ground with a whoosh.

The noise stopped.

"We don't have to kill her," said Phil Gray.

"It was him. He fell in love with my daughter, broke into my daughter's room and forced her. When we found out, he got so angry that he killed her." The farmer was frightened for a moment, but still pointed at Eli and spoke loudly.

"Oh, that businessman in the blue silk hat also likes your daughter? That nobleman riding a red horse also likes her? You do all this, aren't you afraid that one day you will really offend someone with a bad temper and kill you?" Phil Gray stared into his eyes and said slowly.

The farmer's eyes were full of disbelief, "How do you know?" He pointed at him again, "It was him, he killed my daughter."

"Excuse me, if we want to kill her, the sword is enough, why waste a bottle of poison?" Patrick glared at him.

“Enough, enough!” The village chief knocked the ground with his cane again. He looked at the villagers who were watching the excitement and said, “Why don’t you go report to the Life Church and ask them to investigate!”

"It takes a long time to go back and forth." The villagers said hesitantly. It would take a day to get to the nearest city of Dur.

"I want to go too!"

"I told you that I shouldn't have brought you along. You're really nosy." The leader came out with a frown on his face. His face was extremely majestic, and the aura of a high-level god-favored one directly shocked everyone.

The other people at the scene didn't dare to move at all.

"We will continue our journey tomorrow. We cannot delay the matter of the ruins. We will deal with these matters when we come back."

"The problem is, they still refuse to let us go, and the cause of the girl's death hasn't been determined yet." Phil Gray said helplessly.

Several people who were staying in the large courtyard next door also watched the whole process. Mr. Dwyer came forward and carefully examined the girl's body. "She died of poisoning. The poison was very strong and penetrated into her internal organs. Her whole body turned blue. As for what kind of poison it was, I am not sure."

Several people looked disappointed.

"There is really no need for us to kill her. You may notify the people from the Church of Life to investigate. However, we have important matters to attend to, so we can only cooperate with you after we come back. I suggest that we keep everything on the scene as it is, and wait for the people from the Church of Life to come and let them deal with it." Phil Gray said as patiently as possible, then winked at the others and followed the leader towards the carriage.

"You can't leave!" the farmer and some villagers shouted.

But how could ordinary people like them stop a group of people favored by God from leaving?

The carriage pulled by three white horses disappeared into the night in an instant.

"Damn it, I should have stayed out here in the wild for a night." Patrick crossed his arms and looked at Eli, who was frowning.

"If we leave like this, they might think we are fleeing from the crime," said Phil Gray, looking at the village that had disappeared before his eyes.

"Can the people from the Life Church investigate this matter? Will they pin the blame on us as well?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Phil Gray looked at Eli and said, "Don't worry. We will investigate thoroughly after we return from the ruins. We will definitely not let you be framed."

"Do you trust me so much?" Eli asked with a smile.

"Of course, how could a follower of the God of Life use poison to harm young lives?" Patrick said.

"that's all?"

"Because you are our teammate!"

The heavy atmosphere was temporarily swept away.

How did she get poisoned? Sitting in the carriage, Phil Gray thought about what happened today. The girl had the same dinner and drank the same wine as them, and nothing happened to them or the girl's parents.

In the scene he saw with the Eye of Destiny, they had dinner and returned to the room to rest. The girl sat by the fire with her sister until her father came and asked her to act the same way as before. She cried for a while and then went directly to Eli. There was nothing special about it.

It can be said that this girl only came into contact with their group of people that night.

Moreover, where did this poison come from? He believed that ordinary villagers would never be able to get this poison. After all, even Mr. Dwyer, the follower of the God of Wisdom, did not know what this poison was. One can imagine how precious it is.

Could it be that? He pursed his lips and looked towards the front row out of the corner of his eyes.

The three of them were catching up on their sleep and did not have any special thoughts about this matter. After all, they did not know much about the two God-favored Ones brought by Phil Gray, nor did they know what the truth of the matter was.

Phil Gray sighed and narrowed his eyes.

For the next few days, they traveled madly, only stopping occasionally to let the horses rest and feed them some food and water.

It was not until the dawn of the third day that the leader stopped and everyone got off the carriage. They saw only a cave in front of them, which looked very ordinary.

"We're here, right here," said the leader.

No wonder the exact location has been difficult to determine. No one would notice such a cave.
