Chapter 353: The True Face of Kolanda
Caroline had no specific recollection of the exact location, but Loren could guess that the spot where Caroline had acted back then was somewhere around those crime scene areas.
When Caroline had taken action, no one had seen her, only her Arcane Ability. Even if the Arcane Ability was witnessed, normal people would only associate it with Greed Worshippers.
Only Greed Worshippers would think this was the work of a Witch.
As for the Outer Gods' followers who went to capture people, Loren felt there was a high probability they were Greed Worshippers; they were the ones most capable of sacrificing lives.
And Loren also reasonably suspected that performing this ritual required sacrificing several lives in advance. Otherwise, how could such a powerful ritual be activated so simply?
With a simple chain of associations, Loren formed a deduction:
Actually, Koranda was a Greed Worshipper. While she was capturing people for sacrifice, she was unexpectedly thwarted by Caroline.
Since Koranda herself was an absolute high-ranking member among the Greed Worshippers, she knew deeply that the Gray Mist before her eyes was definitely not the work of Greed Worshippers. The peculiar ability, combined with the risky, righteous intervention, made Koranda think of a Witch. That's why she became convinced a Witch was here.
Later, when she arrived in the Gedlan Kingdom, she tried every possible method to make Loren believe all of this was the doing of a Witch, thereby exonerating herself and all the Greed Worshippers from suspicion. Once she captured the Witch, Loren would lower his guard, thinking everything was over, and then she could make her move against Loren later.
