Chapter Seventy-Three: Selective Concealment
"I didn't think that Eleanor's father's teacher would be Sheila's maternal grandfather?"
In the Hearthfire Island, as soon as Eleanor said this, everyone began to talk about it.
"I've also read some information about the conspiracy that the Duke said." Medea spoke up, "Asker, remember when you duel your opponent on the field, there were psychic transcendents in the stands trying to control you? ”
"Noh and I teamed up to stop him, and read some interesting information from his memory."
"Heinrich is a puppet?" Asker asked.
"That's right, and almost all the squires in the team know that Viscount Heinrich is just the head of the envoys on the surface." Medea sneered, "He's in charge of leading a team to the Duchy of Bavaria on regular diplomatic visits. ”
"However, under the guise of a diplomatic visit, there is actually an attempt to create a huge anomaly, and the exact executor is unknown, and he can only be determined to be an acolyte of Heinrich's team."
"Mutation?" Sheila asked, "What is the specifics?" ”
"The reason why it is certain is that Heinrich was given a life-saving transcendent object." Medea said, "Obviously, although he knew nothing about the secret conspiracy itself, the Wolf family clearly did not want him to die in the mutation. ”
"What type of transcendent item?" Asker asked.
"The Human Book of the Undead Sequence." Medea said, "You can use it as long as you use spiritual stimulation." ”
"The spell recorded above is the 'void' of the undead I, which can temporarily transform a person's ** into the virtual body of a ghost, so as to avoid most external damage."
"Heinrich was tight-lipped about this, but the black-robed man I read my mind to was himself a mind-snatcher who had reached Mind III, and I learned about it through mind reading."
"Since that black-robed man can read minds, why not conduct a memory search for everyone on the team?" Sheila frowned and asked, "Wouldn't that make it immediately clear who is behind this?" ”
"He used to think that way." Medea said, "Until his spiritual discovery reveals that there are transcendents of much higher rank than him in the team, and once he discovers the identity of the other party, he will probably be killed immediately." ”
"How high is the other party's level?"
"Approaching Lv. 20." Medea said, "He is a transcendent who is about to enter the threshold of demigods, and it is estimated that he is also the mastermind who is about to create a mutation." The black-robed man didn't dare to probe his location at all, and could only detect that he was staying in the team through passive 'subconscious perception'. ”
"So our enemy this time is a law-level transcendent with a level close to lv.20 and a maximum of lv.19." Asker concluded, "At the current Demon Tide level, he can exert the extraordinary ability of up to lv.10, but his spirituality and ** power are far superior to that of lv.10. ”
"We're going to face his true form, and we think it's going to be the most formidable foe we've ever faced since our team was established." Asker looked at Eleanor and smiled wryly, "Your father, if we don't pay us enough this time, it won't be justified." ”
"Shall I tell my father about this?" Eleanor hesitated.
"And how do you explain our source of information?" Medea asked, "Or do you want to tell your father that Noor and I are heretical?" And it's also a psychic ability transcendent that needs to be guarded against? ”
"Don't rush to tell your father, Eleanor." Sheila also chimed in, "Since your father has been determined, the other party will start the conspiracy on the way back, which shows that there is a presence in Weissbach Palace that makes him jealous, otherwise why didn't he directly carry out a mutation in Mingxing City to destroy it?" ”
"That's right." Medea also said, "If we tell your father about it in advance, then for the sake of safety, perhaps he will stop entrusting us and seek other forces to solve the matter, and then we will lose the reward for this mission." ”
"So don't you tell your father?" Eleanor understood what she meant. The so-called "existence that makes the other party jealous" actually refers to the incognito demigod ancestors of the Weissbach family.
Since the demigods are not only greatly restricted in their strength under the current Demon Tide level, but also the spirituality consumed by their ability cannot be replenished, and there is a risk of getting out of control if they are consumed excessively, Eleanor did not want to embarrass her father, so she decided to keep the matter a secret for the time being.
"All in all, even if we were to complete this task, the difficulty and risk would be quite high." Asker concluded, "Considering that the Wolf Family envoys will not leave for some time, we need to race against time to improve our strength as soon as possible!" ”
The girls surprisingly did not protest against this, and it was clear that everyone was aware of the seriousness of this.
Everyone dispersed for the time being, and Sheila was at the end of the line, and when there was no one around, she suddenly asked Medea:
"So you missed something and didn't say anything?"
"Why do you think so?" Medea looked puzzled.
"Your reasoning." Sheila said, "The reason for stopping Eleanor from telling her father is not valid. ”
"You said that you and Nou are both psychic beings, and if Eleanor told her father about this, she would have to explain the source of the information, so that your transcendent identity would be exposed."
"Actually, her father was my grandfather's apprentice, and the two of them had been in contact recently. In other words, my grandfather thought that this duke was someone to be trusted, and there was a high probability that he had already informed him of the information of all our transcendentals, otherwise how could he easily entrust this task to the regimental commander? ”
"What a perceptive little girl." Medea stared at her in surprise and laughed, "If I hadn't known your sequence, I would have thought you could have read minds." ”
"Now that you've found out, why did you follow me to convince Eleanor just now?"
"Because I can see that you and the head of the group have reached some kind of consensus." Sheila said seriously, "Since you don't want to tell the whole story, but choose to lie, why should I be this wicked person?" ”
"I'm not lying." Medea said, "To be exact, I am telling the truth, and I am only withholding part of the information. ”
"Hmm. After all, Noh can also read minds, and if you lie, she will soon find out. Sheila pondered, "What's the information to withhold?" ”
"The reason why I chose to go it alone, instead of telling the Duke of Bavaria that the mastermind behind the scenes is a high-level transcendent, is indeed as I said just now, to prevent the Duke from trusting us, so as to stop entrusting us and seek other forces to solve this matter, resulting in us not being paid in the end."
Medea held up a finger: "However, the reward I am referring to here is not referring to the reward entrusted to us by the Duke. ”
"It's the transcendent traits that you can get after killing that enemy."
"You mean......," Sheila immediately understood, "the Hussites?" ”
"That's right." Medea said, "Most likely, the Hussite transcendents will have the potions that Peggy needs next." ”
"So, if the demigods of the Weissbach family come forward to solve it, then we won't be able to get these things."
"Is it really worth taking a bigger risk just for the sake of this?" Sheila said worriedly.
