Count Pitry Mansion,
Lis fell into silence for a moment, contemplating the utterly ash-covered remains of Count Pitry with a sigh.
He retracted the breath he held in his hand, and although Lis felt a tinge of regret, he had anticipated this before arriving.
The situation of Count Pitry had already led Lis to a number of deductions.
First and foremost, there was no doubt that Count Pitry was a member of the All Beast Church.
The wretched state in which he met his end was reminiscent of the kind of restrictions the Evil God Church would place on important subordinates, which caused them to self-destruct at the slightest risk of leaking secrets.
A slightly more sane extraordinary force wouldn't choose this method—just the secret-keeping restrictions that prevent any leaks at most.
