The Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, the cells of the underground prison were dead silent.

Inevitably, the Liberty Council's prisons could only be used for ordinary prisoners, while the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard's Tower's underground prison was designed to imprison wizards and anyone else with powers similar to those of wizards.

Wizards who walk in are given special shackles to lock their hands and every finger, a ribbon to keep their mouths from reading half a note, blindfolds and earplugs to keep them from seeing or hearing at all, and a torn sack-like prison uniform to ensure that there are no straps on them.

All the means and precautions are to make it impossible for them to use any means to get out of here.

For a wizard, this is a true hell that can only be matched by the Inquisition of the Church - Peter Fasa never imagined that he would be a prisoner here.

And he was captured by his own mentor, Lord Bedlaire.

Looking at the closed door, Vera and Edward were locked inside, and the prison pharmacist had treated them before entering, although the methods were very rough, but they finally ensured that the wound would not become infected and suppurated, and they were lucky enough to be able to save their lives.

Unlike Gavin and Ivan...... Peter sighed softly, after so much experience, the death of his two friends could not make him have much inner turmoil.

As a qualified night watchman, he can still see the situation in front of him clearly-these people are all Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower... No, a captive and pawn of the Corona family, whose only value is to blackmail that Isaac and Loren Turin.

Whether they can reach an agreement with the Corona family will determine the life or death of the three of them.

"You don't blame me, do you?" Birdlaire, who was sitting across from Peter, looked at his apprentice with a flat expression: "I also deeply feel the pain of being betrayed by my own mentor. ”

"It seems that you are also a man with a story, no wonder you have become a lackey of the Corona family, and you are still in cahoots with us night watchmen. The baby-faced Peter Fasa shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, "Don't worry, Mentor Birdlaire, I don't blame you - you're just doing your job." ”

"The path we have traveled has many secrets, and every wizard is like that. Birdlaire, who spoke coldly, was neither happy nor angry, but only indifferent and numb: "Do you regret being a night watchman?"

"Never. ”

Dressed in prison clothes and covered in wounds and shackled, Peter Fasha's expression was as calm as Birdlaire's: "Those wizards from other lands can only see that Ebolden is a paradise for wizards, but they don't know that it is also a hell for the poor.

In a city full of wealth, poverty is the greatest original sin - without a night watchman, how could I, a child from a low-level civilian area in the south of the city, enter the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower and become an apprentice of the famous Birdlaire?

And Vera, Gavin, Ivan, Edward...... We knew from the beginning what the Vigil was all about, but thanks to them, we had a good life that we couldn't have imagined for years.

So, now it's just a matter of paying off the debt for the good old days, what is there to regret?"

After a moment, a smile appeared on Birdlaire's face...... That's an empathetic smile.

"So now...... You are the lackey of the Corona family, and I am the lackey of the Night's Watch. Peter Fasa smiled childishly: "Now the nickname that my fellow apprentices have given me is finally worthy of the name, watchdog." ”

"They shouldn't have said that about you. Birdlaire shook his head: "A bunch of gentlemen." ”

Peter shrugged his shoulders indifferently, just as he didn't care about it at the beginning:

"So, now let's talk privately on behalf of the minions of our respective forces - what exactly does the Corona family want, is it the formula of the Holy Blood Elixir, or is it to destroy the Bellini family's plan to rule Ebolden?"

"As you said, I'm just a lackey of the Corona family, a pawn. Birdlaire didn't answer what he meant: "How could I possibly know this." ”

"Why don't you let me start first?" Peter said with a smile, "Regarding the Holy Blood Elixir, if the Corona family really wants to get this thing, I still ask you to warn them not to think too much of it. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I've talked to Isaac Grantham, I know what the Holy Blood Elixir is—it's not a panacea for all ailments as we think, maybe it maybe, but right now it's a terrible poison, and anyone who can't resist the Void will be turned into a monster!

Not only that, but Aalto Bellini also secretly conducted a lot of experiments in the sewers of Ebotden - hundreds of living people have either turned into samples in jars or hideous man-eating monsters, and most importantly, these monsters can leave the sewers at any time!

No matter what the Corona family wants to do, this is a matter of great importance for the safety of the entire Ebolden!If those monsters rush out of the sewers, the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower and the adults of the Freedom Council should not sit idly by, right?!"

The candlelight on the table was dim and dim, so that Peter couldn't read Birdlaire's expression clearly, only that the other party was still silent, and remained silent.

He knew that the Corona family would do it, and it proved that they had something else to ask for, but whatever they wanted, they wouldn't want to see an Ebolden in ruins, right?

As long as there is such a premise, the two sides can continue to work together - through the contact between Mentor Bedlaire and the upper echelons of the Corona family, no matter how much they can do, as long as they can get their attention.

In this way, you will be able to increase the chips for Lord Loren Turin and for the Night's Watch. A night watchman with a lot of eyeliner and a decisive action can still do a lot of things.

For example, getting rid of Aalto Bellini and making the Corona family **** are definitely very tempting options for the Corona family.

Wish...... These can impress them, right?

With round eyes staring at Birdlaire's face in the darkness, Peter Fasha's expression was more resolute than ever.

But what I was waiting for was a sigh from the mentor.

"You're still a child, apprentice. Birdlaire still had that indifferent expression, and there was no movement in his facial features: "You think things are simple, the plans of the Corona family are much bigger and purer than you think." ”

"I can't tell you all, but as a member of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, you are entitled to know a part. ”

Was this a reminder to himself? Peter thought to himself, not as a night watchman and collaborator, but as a wizard of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, that is......

"This is the entire Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, a plan that has been in the works for a long time. Birdlaire slowly pushed the candlestick on the table, and the candle that fell to the ground became two.

The quiet room fell into darkness.

Birdlaire spoke.

Peter Fasa's expression was first in disbelief, then in shock, and then in an incomparable state of surprise, as if his eyes were about to fall out of his sockets at any moment!

"This ...... Is this true? how is this possible?!"

"But that's it!" Bedlaire said with a solemn expression, "Even if they refuse to believe that the Corona family will succeed, the twelve elders of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower still promise to remain absolutely neutral and silent at the beginning of everything, and will not question or interfere with any actions of the Corona family." ”

Peter Fasa trembled, swallowed hard, and spoke with difficulty in the darkness: "So you don't know anything about the Holy Blood Elixir?"

Birdlaire nodded.

"And Aalto Bellini was able to complete the initial research so smoothly, and you also helped me?"

Birdlaire hesitated for a moment, but acquiesced.

"Even if you know that half of Ebolden will be in ruins, you will not hesitate?"

Faced with the apprentice's last question, Birdlaire looked up indifferently and looked at him:

"Even if the whole of Ebotden is reduced to ruins, we will not hesitate!"
