In the Shadow Guard Vault at Fort Sava, Charlotte is convening the Shadow Guard.

Unlike the rest of the troops, the Erosa Shadow Guard is not in the regular class sequence, and there are many who even believe that this division is just a legend passed down by word of mouth.

But as a direct descendant of Clayderman, Charlotte naturally knew that this mysterious department did exist. But it is indeed not in the military system of Erosa, but directly belongs to the Erectional Assassination Team of the Grand Duke.

Naturally, the number of people in such a department is not too large. When Charlotte convened the Shadow Guard meeting, the rest of the Shadow Guards were all in place, leaving aside the person in charge of the mission outside and the head of the Shadow Guard who was guarding Lawrence's safety. But just like that, there were only five people who came.

These people have no need to spend extra pen and ink to describe them, and their first impression is ordinary. This kind of ordinariness is not only in appearance, but also in temperament and eyes, and they don't feel any fierceness and murderous aura from them, and they exude the breath of drifting with the tide like salted fish that have been worn out by life.

Charlotte was taken aback when he first saw them, for mnemonics had given him the full memory that many mages had only dreamed of, and he recognized the eldest of them as the Savie Castle Flower Farmer, who had tended to all the plants except Rebecca's Rose Garden when he was a child.

Charlotte never imagined that the flower farmer was actually a member of the mysterious Shadow Guard, and that he was also the deputy head of the Shadow Guard, who was in charge of Erossa's domestic affairs after the Captain followed Lawrence to the front.

Charlotte suppressed the shock in her heart, patiently listened to him report the current situation one by one, and then sat at the table and tapped her knuckles in silent contemplation. Where the knuckles are struck is a well-made parchment scroll, a map of the vaults of Fort Savoie. It records the hidden chambers that have been expanded by Fort Savoy over the years, but Charlotte only glances at it and decides that the map is incomplete. Because the secret room where he obtained the Book of Etroac is not recorded.

In the process, these high-ranking shadow guards all stood in place with their heads bowed, showing excellent discipline.

It's not that Charlotte doesn't want them to sit, it's that there's just one table in the room, and there's no room for them to sit at all. This has something to do with the traditional practice of the Clayderman family, the shadow guards are only responsible to the Grand Duke, and the position is lowly and powerful, and the Grand Duke has reminded them in this way not to forget their duty.

After a moment, Charlotte reconfirmed, "In other words, the missing persons were not transported by the supply team, and you have also checked some of the authorized secret rooms and found nothing unusual?"

"The subordinates are incompetent. "If the flower farmer doesn't defend himself, he is incompetent when he speaks.

Charlotte naturally didn't blame him, he waved his hand, "It's okay, it's expected." I'm asking you to do two things now, and they have to do both. First, find out the movement pattern of the anomalous people who are connected with Ai Wen and formulate a course of action, we are scheduled to raid tomorrow to deal with the external threat first, and second, I will open some of the secret room permissions to the shadow guards according to the specific situation of the secret room, and you are responsible for covert investigation, once you find an anomaly, you must not make your own claims, and report to me immediately. ”

"Yes!" the shadow guard immediately responded.

They never asked why, why Charlotte chose to do it on the day of the festival, and they didn't ask Charlotte what the whole thing was. As long as the Lord orders it, they strictly enforce it like a sophisticated machine.

Charlotte then circled the secret rooms that could be opened to the shadow guards one by one, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting.

There will be no action on this day, and Charlotte lacks vital intelligence. How much power does Evan secretly control?How strong are those powers?Is the Witch of Calamity in Sava Fort ?All of this information must be well known to Charlotte, and he intends to use the means of cutting off his wings to deter Aven, and then make him give up those unrealistic illusions by moving him with affection and reason.

Evan is not an enemy, which also means that Charlotte cannot use the decapitation plan to attack him directly, which will only exacerbate the conflict and force Evan to a dead end.

This was no small challenge for Charlotte, who had never organized an intelligence war. But luckily, he also has the help of the Shadow Guard, which makes him realize for the first time that he also needs to master a force that is absolutely obedient to him in the future, so that he can deal with all kinds of threats.

"Elle, what do you think of Ramsey as a person?" Charlotte asked suddenly.

Elle turned into a young girl in the silver glow, tilted her head and thought for a while before remembering who Ramsay was, "I don't know, I think he's weird." ”

Charlotte shook her head with a smile, he didn't answer, but marked the secret rooms in his room that were not open to the shadow guards, intending to find out at night.

Unbeknownst to Charlotte, his good brother Claire and good sister Vivien Leigh are also investigating the missing persons.

Throughout the day, the servants of Savoie Castle prepare for tomorrow's festival of praise, the biggest festival in the north and the traditional New Year's Day. The news of Elbert's death was strictly blocked, and even though there was an undercurrent inside Fort Savie, Rebecca was still in good spirits to preside over the preparations for the festival in order to stabilize the situation.

During this time, a large amount of supplies were transported from nearby towns and villages to Fort Savoie, and Vivien Leigh ordered her knights to inspect all the supplies entering the fort. As Nancy expected, the supplies were in formalities and no trace of the missing persons case was found.

This made Vivien Leigh puzzled, if it wasn't through the supply team, how did the mastermind behind the scenes transport the missing people to the Savoie Fort, which has been checked at all by layers? Or was her thinking wrong from the beginning, and the missing people had nothing to do with Savoie Fort at all? But how could she explain that the clue was interrupted as soon as it arrived near Savoie Fort?

After dinner, even Vivien Leigh sensed something was wrong. First of all, the atmosphere at dinner was unexpectedly dreary, and although Elbert's death did have a great impact on the Claydermans, it was not quiet, but more like an abyss.

Normally, this is the time when Charlotte will use his gag skills to liven up the atmosphere. But at the dinner, Vivien Leigh stole a glimpse of Charlotte, only to find that the latter was silently arguing with the leg of lamb on the plate, and she didn't look at everyone at the table almost the whole time. Except for some commotion caused by the babbling El, the whole dinner was extremely quiet, which made Vivien Leigh feel uneasy.

She glanced at Cynthia, who was eating the vegetables on her plate gracefully as if nothing had happened last night.

This made Vivien Leigh secretly guilty, wondering if she had overreacted so much that Charlotte was heartbroken?

Until the end of the dull dinner, Vivien Leigh was haunted by last night's slap all night and couldn't sleep. However, in the middle of the night, when she got up to drink water, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the garbage delivery team outside the castle.

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and felt that she had finally caught the hands behind the scenes.
