“...... There's a loophole in what you just said. ”

After the shock brought by the other party's words gradually subsided, Loren, who had regained his composure, said unhurriedly: "Do you explain it yourself, or let me say it for you?"

At the beginning of the whole incident, the powerful Bellini family tried to borrow the formula of the Holy Blood Elixir to seize the right to speak in the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, and then used the power of the Holy Cross Church to try to completely expel the wizards, and finally took control of Ebolden.

The Corona family lurking in the shadows seems to have no connection with the whole incident from beginning to end, and even the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, which is affected by them, has remained silent from beginning to end, and has not resisted the Bellini family's attempt to seize power, and even adopted a conniving attitude.

But what if from the very beginning, Aalto Bellini's research on the Holy Blood Potion was linked to the Corona family, and what if it was clear from the beginning that the Bellini family would turn to the Church of the Holy Cross after discovering that the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower did not support them?

What if they understood from the outset what terrible consequences this so-called "Holy Blood Elixir" would be?

Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan - This is a story that Loren had seen in his previous life, and it couldn't be more suitable here.

Originally, the whole incident should have ended here, it was completely a power struggle between two large families in the free city-state of Ebolden, and there was nothing to say. But the question is, is what the Corona family wants, is it just the absolute dominance of Ebolden, at the cost of half the city to be reduced to ruins?

No, they want more.

Brandon listened quietly to what he said, smiled and said, "How did you find this?"

"Shouldn't you tell me what they want?" the black-haired wizard shrugged, "After all, I still basically don't know anything about it." ”

"No, no, no, you already know, but you can't believe it—like I guessed it at first, and I can't believe it. The aristocratic boy's face smiled again:

"Thanks to your friends, if it weren't for the 'real' Wizard Ain Rand catching their tails, we might never have guessed what the true purpose of the Corona family was!"

Loren was silent.

Before he walked into the room, the little wizard had already secretly told him about the temple of evil gods he had found in the Deep Forest, the customs of blood sacrifices, and ...... The Corona caravan took something from the coffin of the temple.

The more he got the truth, the closer he felt to be to danger, and these tiny clues, like the shadow cast by some monster, the clearer and more terrifying they were.

“...... The Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star. ”

Brandon said slowly, "What the Corona family really wants is the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail. ”

"Hasn't that thing been in the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower all along?"

"No, the true Holy Grail was never placed inside the Wizard's Tower. As you know, the so-called 'Grail Hall' is just an illusion. The true Holy Grail was lost when Ebolden was founded, and no one, not even the twelve patriarchs of the Wizarding Tower, knew where it was. ”

"And now the Corona family is desperate to get it......"

"And I hope it won't be noticed by anyone in advance, because it's so important. Brandon nodded with satisfaction, and there was a little more appreciation in his red pupils: "As a wizard, you shouldn't need me to tell you what the meaning of the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail is, right?"

The brunette wizard rightfully shrugged.

In a word, it is the source of magic—the discipline of all wizards to date, whether prophecy, runes, spells, mysteries, alchemy...... All come from the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail, and even the etymology of "Wizard" itself is derived from the Holy Grail.

As for what the "Holy Grail" means, as far as Loren knows, most wizards don't know very well, and Asriel, who vaguely knows something, has been vague from beginning to end, but his words reveal great interest, making Loren convinced that it is definitely not just a "spiritual pillar" for wizards.

"We don't know why the Corona family wants it so much, but it's a certainty that they'll end up doing it. The aristocratic boy clapped his hands lightly: "So this is your task - no matter what, grab the Holy Grail in front of the Corona family, and you must not let them succeed and extinguish the danger from the source!"

"And if you can't...... Then please do what you can, and don't give the Corona family a chance to get it, for whatever they intend to do is sure to have an unimaginable effect on our dear Sakran Empire—is that all right?"

"It's not the same as we said at the beginning. Loren frowned: "And the difficulty seems to be very high." ”

"Of course, I told you from the beginning. Brandon Sully smiled brightly:

"The purpose of my search for you is to save the world!"

.................................... "Smack!"

With a snap of his fingers, the note left by the little wizard for Loren turned into ashes in the palm of his hand. Behind him, the chair that had belonged to Brandon Sully was occupied by a young man with pale blonde hair.

"What do you think?"

"What do I think? Quite simply, he's not exactly telling the truth—but you already know that part. Asriel curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "And the rest ...... At least for now, he still needs you, doesn't he?"

That's true, the dark-haired wizard nodded.

Whatever the status of Lord Brandon Sully, and what his relationship with the leader of the Night's Watch, Rut Infinit, at least the two of them had the same purpose—in other words, at least for now, he wasn't going to kill himself, because he still needed himself.

No matter how much they toss and turn, or what tricks they play, one thing is undeniable, that is, the power of the Night Watch at Ebolden is infinitely close to zero, and has been completely controlled by the Corona family, and they want to continue to cooperate with the Corona family, they rely on themselves as an outsider.

"As for the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail...... I don't know why a wizard would want to get it, but this thing is too dangerous to be obtained by a human, and it's a human who has put his attention on the head of the evil god!"

The corners of the young man's mouth showed a bit of sarcasm: "One of the biggest characteristics of creatures like you is that you like to chase the 'poisonous mushroom' with a bright appearance, even if someone is poisoned, the latecomers still flock to it. ”

"Probably because the appearance of the 'poisonous mushroom' is too tempting, such as some kind of power that is powerful enough to destroy a city?" Loren blinked, "Am I right?"

"One plus one equals two, you don't need to learn arithmetic to know it's right. ”

Regarding the black-haired wizard's statement, the helpless young man chose to roll his eyes, and couldn't help but complain: "But the 'power' of the Holy Grail is not the superficial thing you imagined, it is not a king-sized ignition bottle, nor is it a biogas digester that explodes at one point!"

"What is that?" asked Loren, pretending to be inadvertent.

"That's ......" the words stopped, and the young man's delicate and pale face showed a sly smile:

"Dear Loren, you will die of this heart, I will not be fooled!"

"I'm just following your words. Loren got up nonchalantly and smiled and walked out the door: "And I know that you want that grail too." ”

Asriel rolled his eyes again, and as Loren turned, it turned into a cloud of smoke, and the winged black-feathered eagle landed lightly on the black-haired wizard's shoulder.

The servant outside the door saw Loren come out, and was about to open his mouth to ask when he was stopped: "Tell your master...... Forget it, just tell Miss Ariel Corona and say I'll agree to her request. ”

"You are a guest of the Corona family, and Miss Corona has no ...... for you"

Before the slightly startled servant could finish speaking, he was stopped by the black-haired wizard again:

"However, I have one condition!"
