Act Forty-Eight: Rosen's Arrangement
Rosen looked at the unconscious Grim, and with a flick of his hand, the two girls' heads turned into dust and disappeared.
He had previously read the assassin's memories through his abilities, and after learning that the person behind the scenes was actually the head of the Sanderson family, he followed the route of his memory and came here, disguised as a "shadow snake" to make the other party let his guard down.
In the memory of the "Shadow Snake", there are many ambiguities that make Rosen very suspicious, so he thought of coming here directly to find information.
And just now, Rosen had already obtained all the memories of the other party.
He had expected that this Grim Sanderson would have something to do with the Chaos cultists, but now it seemed that he was nothing more than a profit-seeking businessman.
The most valuable information is probably that the other party has also received information about that ruin.
That's something to think about.
For so many years, this ruin has not been known to outsiders, and the secrecy measures are quite intact, so how can Grim, a mere merchant, know about the existence of this ruin?
Rosen projected Grim's memories and tried to find out how he got the information.
But he soon found out that that memory had been erased.
There is a clear gap in the memory, but if you don't force it to remember, then it won't feel unnatural, and it seems that it has also been manipulated with magic or something.
That memory has been completely erased, in the words of Rosen's previous life, it is directly formatted, the chance of trying to get it back is very small, and it is easy to burn Grim's head if he is not careful, making him a waste.
As for the second point, Rosen has nothing to worry about, he doesn't care about Grim's life in the slightest, and now he is left alive just because of the arrangements that may be needed next.
Since he can't find it, Lawson can only find other ways to get the answer.
Rosen's instincts told him that the person who gave Grim the information was most likely related to the Sage, whether it was a cultist of the Chaos Forces or someone else, and if Rosen still needed to find the remains of the Sage, then it was best to find out.
He thought for a moment and brought up the blank memories on both ends.
He tried to find clues from these memories, to see where Grim had been and who he might have met during this blank time.
Rosen found that before this memory, it seemed to be just in winter, and the business transactions were boring and boring, with no bright spots, and after the memory, it was the same scene, and he couldn't find anything strange.
"Is it ......?"
Rosen thought for a moment and went through all his memories again.
Because it suddenly occurred to him that some memories seemed to be there, but now they were completely gone.
Soon, after reading all the memories quickly, Rosen discovered the problem.
There is nothing about Christine Royal College.
In his previous memory, Grim had made it clear that he was going to accompany his son to the academy to report on the matter, but after that, there was no scene of Christine.
In other words, the erased memories are most likely something that happened in the Academy.
It seems normal to think about it that way.
Since it is a sage relic located in the academy, it is quite reasonable for someone from the school to bring out the information.
In this way, the target is narrowed down to the people related to Christine Academy, although it is much smaller, but there are still many options.
"It seems that you have to keep an eye on the people around Grandia at all times. ”
Rosen thought for a moment, then raised his hand.
A dream, slowly flowing from his fingertips into Grim's brain.
This dream directly faked the experience of this period of time, and planted a little seed that Rosen could rely on to directly control Grim at a critical moment.
Since the other party gave him this information, if Grim really found the clue to the ruins, that person would definitely follow him to find out the news, and when the time came, Lawson would catch it all again.
After leaving the arrangement, Rosen disappeared directly into the void, leaving Grim to sit in a chair and fall asleep.
......
In the evening, Grantia and Alyssa returned to the academy.
During the day, the two had a good time in the Trest family's mansion, and Alyssa showed off her cooking skills and cooked a hearty lunch.
Grantia also gradually realizes a different Alyssa.
Completely different from the image of the cold kaolin flower in school, Grantia saw Alyssa, like a girl of the same age, with her own hobbies and fantasies, and a little secret hidden in her heart.
Of course, she also learns the reason why Alyssa is participating in the magic competition.
Her father agreed with her that if he succeeded, he would agree to have dinner with her and listen to what Alyssa had to say.
For this seemingly rather ordinary goal, Alyssa worked so hard to stand in this place.
The sunset at dusk was as gorgeous as fire, dyeing the world with a layer of orange-red color, and the reflection of the two dragged on for a long time, and from a distance, it seemed to merge into one.
"In five days, it's the final of the magic competition. ”
Alyssa said suddenly.
"Well, yes, at that point, we had to show our work in front of a lot of people. ”
Grantia didn't know why the other party brought it up, but she replied anyway.
"There's one thing, Grantia, I want to ask you. ”
After a moment's hesitation, Alyssa spoke.
"What?"
Grantia thought she wanted her to release the water so that Alyssa could accomplish her goal, but what the other party said next was the exact opposite.
"For the next magic competition, please give it your all. ”
Alyssa said in a steady tone.
"Don't want to make any special moves because of our relationship, I will beat you from the front and win with dignity, if not, then my efforts are meaningless. ”
"Alyssa......
Grandia stopped and looked at the girl in front of her, at this moment, her back looked very thin in the reflection of the setting sun, but it was extremely clear.
"Well, I'll do my best, do the best I can, and stand on the same stage as you. ”
She replied that this was the only way to get along with each other.
As both a friend and an adversary.
"One more thing......"
Grandia continued, and she saw the side of Alyssa's face turned back, shining golden in the afterglow.
"I'm not going to just admit defeat, you just wait to surprise during the game!"
