Another guess that can also be confirmed is the attack method of the Watcher of Silence.
After some contact, Colin has determined that its method of attack is to first use the eyeballs on its body to launch a "mental attack", and then take advantage of the prey's inability to resist and then smash it to death with a candlestick.
Once she was hit by a "mental shock", the woman would definitely not be able to sit so "dignified" and would definitely hold her head and wail and scream, but she showed no signs of struggling...
You have to know that the aberration has a strong desire to kill humans, and it will never leave you an intact body just because you give up resistance.
So it is basically certain that she died before the Lord's deformed form took action, or died from something else.
Because of the loss of life, the "Silent Watcher" simply came over to take a look and then lost the desire to attack.
These monsters have always been very... tolerant towards corpses.
Then, it left.
This was also the direct reason why Colin thought it was the murderer.
Of course, these are not the reasons why Colin noticed the problem and made associations based on it.
But it was something else—"treasure map fragment".
"Why does she have the treasure map fragment?"
Judging from his current intelligence...
Treasure map fragments only appear on triggered quests, and triggered quests...
There are only a few people in the whole world who have accomplished this.
Some "simple" trigger tasks were completed by some people, but they died, leaving only words like "Don't do trigger tasks" to warn future generations.
Only a lucky few, numbering less than two dozen, completed the mission and, like Colin, racked their brains to escape the hunt of the lord-level aberrations and thus survived.
Assuming she is the former, she died after completing the task, and the content of her task was just to go and have a look... .
Then why did she have two treasure map fragments on her
There is only one "treasure map fragment" for a triggered mission, how could she have two
You know, it took less than an hour from the time Colin woke up and went out to the time he saw her body yesterday.
Almost all survivors wake up at roughly the same time.
One hour...
How come she has two "treasure map fragments"
Even if she was lucky enough to complete the first task, and then died after completing the second task...
So, where does she find the time to do these tasks
This is not a question of ability or not... it is a question of whether you can do it.
No matter how you look at it, this is simply not possible...
"Tell them to be careful and tell me if they see a female body leaning against a tree."
Colin gave a few instructions and now he was sitting in the co-pilot seat of the chariot, walking on the same road he had walked on the first day.
He planned to take another look at the corpse to see if he had missed anything.
Because of time and other factors, he did not bury her body yesterday. If nothing unexpected happened...
The body should still be there.
These corpses had obviously been to the underground area and were carrying "light-condensing stones" related to that area, which hid a lot of secrets.
If he could solve even one of these secrets, his chances of surviving his exploration underground would increase.
