Chapter 73: Unrealistic Fantasies
“Have you found the altar?” Director Aaron Dias confirmed with Bishop Beckett.
“Yes. It has been fully confirmed—an altar, tools for extracting Mana, and Magical Potions. At the labyrinth site, potions of the same color and smell were also discovered,” Bishop Beckett said.
Aaron recalled that at the labyrinth site they had once found several Laboratory Mice used for experiments.
Some had developed Saltification Disease, and there were also some Magical Potions with a mint-like scent.
The investigators had already formed a hypothesis that those medicines were used to treat Saltification Disease.
For someone producing Mana for profit, a special medicine for a rare illness like Saltification Disease held little value.
But if someone closely connected to them suffered from Saltification Disease, it would be a completely different matter—and Sally Hesh seemed to be that crucial person.
“Additionally, I obtained records from the treasury. The Hesh family’s debt to the Church has already been settled—two days ago. The funds came from a charitable organization subordinate to a merchant consortium connected to Potter. This organization had appeared before when we investigated Potter’s asset flows,” Bishop Beckett said.
In other words, Sally’s debt had been resolved after Potter’s death through Potter’s money-laundering channels.
