"Well, Zhiran, I believe you. ”

After speaking, Gui and Wang Zhiran hugged each other.

For them, the long night has just begun.

What they don't know, however, is that for the other person, the long night has just begun!

At the same time, in the Duke's mansion of Duke Wither, although all the servants fell asleep, the current Duke Caroline was still dressed in formal clothes and sat in her office.

Interestingly, Caroline stayed up all night, not because she was too busy with government affairs in her territory to sleep, but because of the three wanted warrants on the desk in front of her!

You must know that although the state system of the Elvin Continent is still dominated by feudalism, it is different from the feudal era of the earth in that the Elvin Continent is a magical world, so the magic guide technology is very developed.

For example, in Caroline's office, the magic lights hung on the ceiling are used to fill the office with light, and the three wanted warrants also use magic imaging technology to vividly print the heads of the three criminals on them.

These three people are Wang Zhiran, Gui and Jin Potian!

It stands to reason that the work of a wanted criminal does not need to be personally interrogated by Caroline, who is a duke, and this kind of thing is the work of the local sheriff.

Otherwise, the Duke has to do everything himself, then she won't be busy to death!

However, these three wanted warrants made Caroline feel different, especially Jin Potian's wanted warrant, when Caroline saw the photo on it for the first time, she immediately remembered what happened eighteen years ago.

At the time, Caroline's brother Ina Fan was still alive, and she was only the consul of the northern province of the empire.

One day, Caroline was involved in a battle against her teacher, the plane-level archmage Nyx.

Wait a minute?

What does this have to do with Jin Potian?

It's very simple, because among the opponents in that battle is Jin Potian's grandfather, Ah Jin, the bloodline descendant of the previous generation of all-rounders!

Because Jin Potian and his grandfather look so similar, Caroline recognized him at the first glance of this wanted post. So, there was a scene tonight, Caroline put the wanted warrants of the three on her desk.

For no other reason, Caroline, who participated in that battle, knew that Ah Jin, who appeared in front of her back then, was not from the Elwin Continent, and now this guy who looks very similar to Ah Jin is likely to be a descendant of Ah Jin, and he is also not from the Elwin Continent!

If you continue to reason, it is not difficult to conclude that Wang Zhiran and Gui, who are wanted together with Jin Potian, are also not from the Elvin Continent.

Why, then, did the Central Empire suddenly want three outsiders?

It's a pity that since her brother died of illness inexplicably, Caroline has been staying in her dukedom and rarely goes to the imperial capital, so that she doesn't know a lot of central things.

Not only that, but Caroline has heard a lot of strange rumors lately, such as the appearance of some scarlet monsters in the imperial capital.

Although Minister Violet has repeatedly stated publicly that those words are all rumors and there are no monsters at all, Caroline, who is far away in the dukedom, her heart has been beating recently.

Yes, Caroline has instinctively sensed something, and the world seems to be facing some kind of bad future.

Damn, if my teacher Nyx had been willing to teach me her two unique skills, then I would have been able to reach the level of strength, so that I could perceive more things!

Thinking of this, Caroline couldn't help but rub the bridge of her nose with the thumb and index finger of her right hand. But at this moment, Caroline suddenly sensed something and said:

"Come out, don't hide!"

"Hey, hey, long time no see, Lord Caroline. ”

An evil man in a black butler's suit appeared in front of Caroline out of thin air, and bowed politely to her.

Caroline didn't look at the man squarely, and she didn't need to, because she knew from the familiar evil laugh that the man who came was really:

"Sebastian, it's been a long time. Haven't the wanted warrants been delivered, why haven't you returned to the imperial capital?"

"There's no hurry. ”

Sebastian sneered, "For ordinary people, it takes a few weeks to go from the duke to the emperor, but for people like us, this is a short distance in an instant. Of course, for the sake of safety, the current imperial capital has achieved a spatial blockade, and it is no longer possible to use the space teleportation spell to reach it directly. ”

"I'm not asking about the security measures of the imperial capital!"

Caroline, who understood Sebastian's nature, raised her head to look at him and said, "Sebastian, I know you, I know you since you were a human in the past, you didn't rush back to the imperial capital as soon as possible this time, just because you have something to say to me!"

Sebastian, whose full name is Sebastian Mikalis, is one of the carriers of the Abyssal Bloodline that Cheeks scattered in the Uuris Empire in order to obtain the Elwyn Continent.

It's just that Sebastian, whose bloodline has not yet awakened, is just an ordinary human who serves as a butler among the lower nobles of the empire.

Because it was during the period of the dispute between the eldest prince Horus and the third prince Karl, and the lower nobles served by Sebastian belonged to the faction of the three princes, after the eldest prince Horus ascended the throne, he was purged and beheaded on the spot.

However, this death has changed the trajectory of Sebastian's life dramatically, because at the moment of death, the abyss demon bloodline in Sebastian's body awakened!

Soon after, Sebastian walked out of the graveyard, intact. Of course, at this time, he is no longer human, but has become an abyss demon with a human appearance, known as the demon steward.

Of course, Sebastian's strength is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, but it is not as strong as other abyssal demons, so he doesn't have to go through rituals to adapt his body to the power of the abyss, like Berda.

With the awakening of the bloodline, Sebastian also realized that the object of his real allegiance was Berda's mother, the direct bloodline carrier of the Prince of the Abyss, Schillus, and the former Emperor of the Uurith Empire, Linna, so he immediately joined Linna's camp and helped the latter successfully kill the two brothers Horus and Karl and ascend the throne as emperor.

Sebastian's identity as an abyssal demon is not a secret in Linna's camp, especially among the core members, and Caroline is naturally one of the core members because of her brother's relationship, so she also knows Sebastian's details.

Of course, since the arrival of the Four Cowherds of the Abyss, and the death of Lina and Inafan, Caroline inherited the title of duke, left the imperial capital and returned to the fiefdom, and was no longer a member of the inner circle of the empire.

After hearing Caroline's words, Sebastian pursed his lips and said, "Lord Caroline, you don't need me to talk too much, don't you also notice the problem?"

Caroline didn't speak to the horse, but was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then asked: "Sebastian, you also participated in the battle of the province of Lego back then, so explain to me who this person is!"

As she spoke, Caroline pushed Jin Potian's wanted warrant a short distance in the direction of Sebastian.

"That's what you ask! Yes, they do look too alike. ”

Sebastian had a long-awaited expression on his face, and said with a wicked smile: "The person on the wanted list is called Jin Potian, and he is the grandson of our former opponent, the Almighty Ah Jin. And the reason why Violet wants him is naturally because Jin Potian can threaten our princess. ”

"Hmph, do you threaten the princess?"

Caroline sneered and said, "Since my brother and sister-in-law died of illness, those four newcomers have taken control of the country's government and kicked me back to the fiefdom from the capital. At first, I thought they were going to rebel, but then I realized that the four of them were circling around Belda every day. ”

Speaking of this, Caroline paused, looked at Sebastian and said, "Oh, by the way, your identity hasn't changed, you've always been a butler." ”

"Uh, hehe. ”

Sebastian smiled helplessly and said, "Lord Caroline, as you know, those four adults are better than me, and I can only be a butler in front of them. ”

"Hmph, needless to say, I know they're the same as you. ”

Caroline said slowly: "Just as you are loyal to Lina because of her bloodline, those four people revolve around Belda, naturally because of her bloodline. ”

"And I also know that my sister-in-law Lina seemed to have met the Almighty Ah Jin, which made her bloodline unable to fully awaken. In this way, those four people wanted the descendants of Ah Jin, just to fully awaken Berda's bloodline!"

Facing Caroline, who already knew the true purpose of the Four Cowherds of the Abyss, Sebastian not only did not have any anxiety, but also smiled happily: "Hehe, it is worthy of Lord Caroline, you can guess everything." ”

Caroline snorted and said, "Sebastian, I know that after your bloodline awakens, you will no longer be the same you used to be. So let me ask you, when Berda's bloodline awakens, will she still be the current Berda?"

Sebastian didn't think about it, so he smiled evilly and said:

"Of course not!"

"In fact, Belda's appearance is so cute today, but she didn't know her true identity yet, and when her bloodline awakens, she will understand everything!"

"Sure enough!"

Caroline's eyebrows twitched visibly, and she said, "At that time, Bella will know her true identity and purpose, just like you. ”

"I wonder what will become of Bella if she awakens, what will she do, and what does that mean for us, for the entire continent of Elwin?"

Hearing this, Sebastian restrained the evil smile on his face, seemed to change back into his former human, and said to Caroline:

“……”

As time passed, the bright moon in the sky gradually sank, the morning sun had risen, and Wang Zhiran and Gui also opened their eyes.
