For a detective, reconstructing what had happened on the battlefield before him was not difficult. The corpses could not speak, and the scene was a complete mess, but to Li Wei, the traces and debris scattered everywhere were enough to tell the story.
"The Sun Temple attacked first. Hmm, no surprise there. There are also makeshift defenses nearby, which means the Pearl Merchant Guild knew the Sun Temple was coming for them. Then the two sides fought. At first, the Sun Temple advanced steadily while the Pearl Merchant Guild lost ground. That's no surprise either. Based on the information we've gathered so far, the Sun Temple ruled this world, so it would naturally have the strongest fighting force-"
Walking beside Li Wei and listening to him, the Beauty God was dumbfounded.
She was not particularly familiar with what a detective did. When Li Wei had first introduced himself as one, she had assumed he was something like a bard or a spy.
But now, simply by walking down this street and examining traces she considered almost too insignificant to notice, Li Wei could effortlessly reconstruct everything that had happened. That ability was simply inconceivable!
The Beauty God knew that some spells could reveal the past. But Li Wei was clearly not a mage, nor had he cast any magic. All he had done was reconstruct the past from these traces, fallen fragments, and the surroundings.
Could that really work?
The Beauty God could understand it to some extent. Experienced warriors could also use certain traces to identify an enemy's weapon and the like, but that was merely an "auxiliary skill." She had never imagined that, taken to its limits, such a skill could surpass even mages who specialized in divination and peered into the past and future!
