Act XLV

Rosen recounted the information about the unknown monster to Cecilia and Cronor, and after listening to Rosen's words, both of them fell silent.

Whether what Rosen said is true or not, I can find out if I find Ain to verify it, and this is not a matter for them to worry about.

Such a monster appeared in the castle where several saints gathered, which could already be regarded as quite a threat.

Cecilia frowned slightly, and then asked.

"You think the monster is still in the castle?"

Her implication was whether the nobles who had left in the morning might be the objects of the monster's disguise.

"It should still be there. ”

Naturally, Rosen couldn't say that the monster was actually trying to find Queen Rivendell's soul will in the castle, and he could only euphemistically call it another purpose.

"I don't know what its purpose is, but it may have something to do with the Sages. ”

"In that case, is it possible for everyone around the Sage?"

Cronaud asked, having been listening since the beginning and not speaking until now.

"Unfortunately, it's possible. ”

Lawson didn't know who the monster was disguised as here, but if he wanted to have the privilege to move around the castle easily, he needed to be a man of sufficient status.

The Sage is categorically unable to disguise, so only the people around the Sage remain.

Moreover, for some reason, Rosen has actually grasped a little clue, but the answer to this clue is too crazy, and Rosen needs more corroboration.

"So, you mean you need to gather everyone and confront them face to face?"

Cecilia asked, not a difficult thing, but in a sense, quite a difficult thing.

It is too terrible to make the saints doubt the existence around them.

"If I could, I could sense the aura of the monster, and besides, the purpose of the monster, I think, was also a certain sage. ”

Instead of letting it lurk in the shadows and constantly sneak attack, it is better to put everything directly on the table, and Rosen believes that Queen Rivendell's soul will body should also be lodged on a certain character.

"Really......"

Cecilia touched her chin, then looked at Rosen.

"Truth be told, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't have the slightest aura of chaos on you, I would have thought you were a spy sent by some deceitful Chaos people to divide us. ”

Faced with Cecilia's words, Rosen smiled and did not answer.

"Tonight, I will do my best to gather all the Sages and the people around them in the banquet hall, and I hope that at that time, you can give us a satisfactory answer. ”

Said, Cecilia had already stood up, and Kronor nodded at the same time to Lawson and the others, and also stood up.

It feels as if Cecilia is the Sage and Cronor is her henchman.

Perhaps, as a companion of the unsociable Crowno, Cecilia would be like this.

Rosen sighed softly as he thought of the end of the two of them after a thousand years.

The two left the room, leaving only Rosen and Tia, and the two messengers of the Sage.

The snowy owl tilted its head, cooed, and spread its wings and flew straight out of the window.

The gray dove flapped its wings and came to Rosen, and then, from its mouth, a soft female voice came.

"If I have time in the afternoon, I invite you to my room in the Fourth Tower, I have a few questions I would like to ask you in advance, ah, by the way, if you can, bring little Ain by the way. ”

It was Avinia's voice, and it seemed that she had become interested in what Rosen was saying.

It's just that why Ain is needed, it's not something that Rosen can speculate at will.

"Good. ”

Lawson replied simply, nodding slightly.

As if given some order, the gray dove rushed out of the window and flew off into the distance.

"Do you really think that monster is hiding among the people around the Sage?"

Tia asked, although she had discussed some of her reasoning with Lawson last night, there were still many unsolved mysteries, the most important of which was the identity of the monster in disguise.

Breaking it down, the problem of Lawson's illusion in which they are actually divided into several parts.

The first is the identity of the monster in disguise, and the monster will disguise itself as a character who appears in this illusion, so that it can get close to Queen Rivendell's soul will body and steal it.

The second is what Queen Rivendell's soul will body is, according to the information that Lawson and Tia got, this body may be an object, or it may be someone, from the current point of view, they think that thing should be inseparable from Princess Rivendell here.

Third, it is how the monster will steal, whether it will be devoured directly, or how to use other means, how to deceive the function of the soul's will to automatically defend.

These three questions are actually the three elements of the murderer, the victim, and the modusive.

And Lawson and the others, at this time, were like the policemen waiting for the arrival of the strange thieves, anxiously thinking about countermeasures.

"There's a good chance that if I were that monster, I'd have used that strategy if I knew someone else was coming in. ”

Rosen replied, still remembering the clue he had found with Al last night, the silver trail.

"It's just that I don't think things are as simple as we first thought. ”

That is an answer that cannot be prioritized in any way, but if it is true, then all inferences need to be restarted at this moment.

Moreover, that means that the illusion that Lawson and the others are in at the moment will be several times more dangerous than in the past.

"Let's go one step at a time, let's go find Ain first, and then go to Avinia and hear what the prophet has to say. ”

The two of them then left the parlor and made their way to Ain's room.

Al Yin didn't have servants like other nobles, and her room didn't have a special guard, so Lawson came directly to the door of her room.

The young girl had rarely risen early for morning exercise, and when Lawson knocked softly on the door and asked aloud, he could hear the muffled sound of something soft hitting the floor in the room.

"Please, please wait a minute!"

The girl's panicked voice came from the room.

"Is something going on?"

Rosen asked, confused by the originally meticulous Ain's chaotic appearance at the moment.

"Then I have to ask what you did last night. ”

Tia snickered and shrugged.

"Strange. ”

Rosen frowned slightly, and then heard a crackling sound in the room, and then the door opened.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

With a stiff smile on her face, Ain said to the two.
