And judging from the performance of those wizards today, it seems that the Heavenly Poison Alliance wants to surrender without a fight. It's about trapping Brent watches...... Merlin was sure that they were not plotting the lives or fiefdoms of the Brent family, but for another reason.

"I'll go see off a few guests first, and I'll let Master Minston take you to my study later. With that, Custer turned to see off a few of the more noble patriarchs, and then went to order the defense of the castle.

"Rosa, you go back first. Merlin groaned slightly and commanded.

No matter how prejudiced she is about this father, after all, it is her own father, although she was sent to study in a distant academy, but after all, she did not really abandon her, and this time she came back, that is, in order to settle some thoughts, she was ready to tell her identity, and she was also curious about what the Heavenly Poison Alliance wanted from the Brent family.

Every wizard who saw Merlin showed a look of awe in his eyes, perhaps the difference in rank alone would make them maintain respect, and Merlin's age was not very old, so it was difficult for people to be afraid. But after seeing the methods used by Mei Lin to kill two second-level wizards of the Heavenly Poison Alliance one after another, they all knew that this Mei Lin wizard was not only powerful, but also decisive...... When I looked at her again, they all became respectful.

Minston is the old head of the Brent family, and even when Merlin was young, he carried her back, and more than ten years have passed, and Minston is obviously old.

His tall and burly body looked a little rickety, his hair was waxed, and it still looked shiny, but there were obviously more gray hairs, and the wrinkles on his face were like those carved by a knife, like his face was covered with short ditches. Only one pair of eyes are still shining, not inferior to those in the prime of life.

Merlene ...... Are you Miss Merlin?" Looking at the wizard in front of him, Minston suddenly became excited, and his old face glowed red.

"Yes. Butler Minston, as it happens, I have the same name as the eldest lady of your family. Merlin said quietly.

"Nameake?" Minston blinked subconsciously...... But that's too similar, isn't it?

But the words have already made it clear, he doesn't dare to lean up. After his mood stabilized slightly, he remembered his mission: "Lord Merlin, the master is waiting in the study, please come with me." ”

Follow Minston through the halls, up a staircase at the back, up several spiral staircases, and finally to Custer's study.

It hadn't changed, and it was completely consistent with the quaint and natural decoration style in her memory, and in Merlin's memory, she was only when she was about to leave Brentburg as a child, and was led by the old butler Minston into the study to say goodbye to her father. Custer was still a young man, and Minston's hair was still shiny.

Things are not people!

Mei Lin sighed in her heart.

"Lord Merlin, please come in. Minston had stopped and did not disturb her observation, and when he saw that her gaze was withdrawn, he stretched out his hand and asked for nothing.

"Thanks, Minston. ”

Merlin nodded slightly, and pushed the door open alone, only to find that Custer was not in the room when she walked into the study.

"Huh, what's going on?"

Merlin was a little puzzled, she took a few steps inside, and suddenly a shadow appeared anxiously from behind a screen.

"Mr. Custer!?"

Merlin was startled by the sudden appearance of a middle-aged man, and her heart was suddenly a little dissatisfied. What is this daddy doing in his study?

Who knew that Custer's face was full of anger and anxiety: "We have been tricked!"

"What do you mean?" asked Merlene, inexplicably.

Custer nodded, and then his brow furrowed, and he quickly pulled out a pair of gloves and put them on his hand...... In an instant, a terrifying killing force locked onto Merlin's body.

Custer's robe suddenly stirred, his figure seemed to become extremely tall, and he asked angrily, "Wizard Merlin, why would you, a second-level wizard, accept my insignificant reward to fight against the Heavenly Poison Alliance?"

"Of course I have a plan, but I don't need to tell you now. ”

Merlin shrugged, "But it's ridiculous for you to think I'm a spy who got in. The Poison Alliance will trade two second-level wizards for a spy to enter, and you can't help but look down on the chips in your hand. ”

"You ......," Custer faltered.

"What the hell is going on?" Merlin asked, "I may we analyze it, and nothing will be left without clues." ”

"My wife and my youngest son are missing, and there are signs of the Heavenly Poison Alliance at the scene. Custer said dejectedly.

"Are there any signs of a fight or any remnants of drugs at the scene?" asked Merlin.

"Nope. Custer replied in the affirmative.

"It's so much simpler. ”

"They are likely to be held hostage or left voluntarily, and the people they know know are the ones who can motivate them to do so...... At least they won't be on the lookout. ”

"However, I wonder why the Heavenly Poison Alliance is holding you hostage today...... What about the lady and the young son?"

"I had been with them until today. ”

Custer's face was full of anger, "They are a little jealous of me, so they refuse to confront me head-on. ”

Merlin nodded, although Custer's own strength was not very good, but the gloves he wore just now were a bit famous, maybe the Heavenly Poison Alliance was really afraid of this.

"It's not hard to find out where they are, and it's easy to gain their trust...... There aren't many people like that, right?"

"Damn the traitor. Custer had a pained look on his face, "I know who it is." But he ...... How can you do that?!!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Merlene's eyes, but she didn't ask more, and followed Custer out of the study door.

Deep in the castle, in another lavishly decorated room.

"Father, is there anything you want me to do?" Williams sat impatiently behind his desk, looking at his father.

"I know what I was thinking was unpleasant to you. But if you insist on that, I can only reserve my opinion, after all, you are the head of the family. But I want you to think carefully as you prepare for your sacrifice whether or not you want to tie the entire Brent family to your altar. ”

Custer didn't say a word, just looked at his son steadily. The latter also looked at him calmly.
