Chapter 620: Phoenix

Since the police had found the murderer and believed they had uncovered the truth, that concluded the case. Normally, the innkeeper would have needed to go to the police station to give a statement, but when Shard mentioned that he needed to talk to the owner, the chief immediately said the statement could wait until tomorrow.

"It's like this, I want to understand something about the local tradition of fire worship."

After sending off the police and the murderer, and the body had been carried away on a stretcher, the uneasy innkeeper Mr. Tels invited Shard to the backyard of the inn, where they were now alone and conversed beside the chicken coop.

"I thought you were here to check on taxes... cough, I mean, no problem."

Mr. Tels clearly sighed with relief:

"My faith is in the Lord of All Things, which has been my family's faith for generations. As for fire worship, I believe it is also part of the Lord of All Things' faith, after all, fire is part of nature."
