For it had long been known that some Shinrikyo would come to him because of that incident in the wasteland.

So Melen wasn't surprised when she heard the news.

He didn't think it was a big deal to meet the other party, at most he repeated what Juliana had said before.

"But why would he be so interested in the Flare?"

With this curiosity in mind, Melen came to the parlor and sat down across from the other party.

The middle-aged man named Guderian has a good appearance, with two neat beards on his lips, a neat white tuxedo, and a silver pocket watch on his chest that gentlemen of this era usually choose as accessories.

When he sat in the brightly lit living room and spoke, his tone was calm and powerful, and he seemed full of grace.

The question he asked, unsurprisingly, was related to what happened to Meren in that barren world.

It seems to take this seriously.

However, when Melen "truthfully" told some of the details, the truth-seeming Shinrito did not immediately choose to leave.

After a moment of silence, he instead brought up a somewhat inexplicable topic.

"How many direct siblings do you have?"

Since we met, this person has always been so polite when he spoke.

It's just that this question seems a little strange at the moment......

"There's a brother."

Mellen was honest and authentic.

Although the person in front of him was a stranger, there was nothing to hide, and he didn't bother to lie.

It's just that immediately after, the second question asked by the other party made him even more puzzled.

"Do you have a marriage contract?"

"Yes."

Mellen still answered truthfully.

Although it was at the teacher's house, he was not prepared to hide it.

Because since the "future mother-in-law" and the teacher are good friends, maybe the teacher already knows that he and his "cousin" have a marriage contract.

The First Cause of All Worlds

It doesn't make a difference.

Because compared to the marriage contract, it is much more difficult for him to break through that master-apprentice relationship.

It's just that what makes Melen strange is whether she has a marriage contract or not, and what does it have to do with the person in front of her?

Could it be that he has taken a fancy to himself and wants to give his daughter to him as a wife?

In that case, it is understandable to ask about the family situation......

Just as Mellen was thinking this, she heard the other party ask a third question.

"So, do you plan to go to a wizarding school in the future, or do you have other ideas?"

Mellen frowned.

Of course he was going to school, but what was the purpose of the guy in front of him asking this?

Why, after asking about the details of that barren world, did he seem to be interested in himself?

"Did he find something?"

Somewhat alert to this, Meren glanced out of the corner of her eye at the short attendant sitting next to him.

The attendant was very short, and sat there like a child.

However, his appearance is very mature, with a beard, but his head is very bald, and he looks thick and pitiful at the same time.

But overall, he's not really remarkable.

Except for the first time when I saw myself, I inexplicably sprayed the old housekeeper with tea, and I stayed there honestly for the rest of the time, and I didn't see anything abnormal.

However, Mellen didn't think his previous answer would reveal anything.

But Guderian's attitude now, as if he had some kind of evidence, began to question himself......

This is unusual.

If the clue is not from his own mouth, then of course it is observed from other aspects.

Mellen felt that her disguise was still very good

Because of the mastery of breathing and the memories related to the knight's inheritance, he can freely disguise his physical characteristics.

Unless the other party can fight with him, it is unlikely that he will find a problem.

At least this Guderian didn't seem to find out what was wrong with him last time.

Otherwise he wouldn't have come here a second time.

So, is the crux of the matter with this short man with a strange pair of glasses?

The thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly, but on the surface, Mellen only frowned and thought for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation:

"Of course, I'm in a wizarding school, but I'm not sure about that, I mean, my foundation isn't very good......

Guderian nodded when he heard this, but he didn't realize that he just asked a few more words, and was alertly noticed by the black-haired young man in front of him.

So he began to inquire about other things.

It mainly revolves around Mellen as a person, such as what ideals and aspirations, learning goals, what books he likes to read, and even personal aesthetics.

The reason for asking this is not that he has found more clues, but that he is stalling for time.

Because his companion next to him has never given him any signal.

Except for the initial start-up when he seemed to be taken aback, the rest of the time, there was silence.

Or rather, looking at Melen with a vague attitude, his attitude seemed strange.

Guderian still knew his companion very well, so he felt that this strangeness did not seem like he had confirmed anything, nor did it seem like he was really frightened.

Instead...... It's like seeing an acquaintance you've been away from for a long time, but you're still not sure?

He was surprised, but more helpless.

Because since his companion didn't give him a clear signal, he had to keep asking.

But he and Melen are not familiar with each other, so what other topics can he ask other than expressing interest in the other person?

Fortunately, when he himself began to doubt whether he had been found out that something was wrong, his companion next to him quietly poked him, signaling that it was over.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and said goodbye to the other man with a smile on his face.

"How's it going, do you see anything clearly?"

As soon as he left the meeting room, Guderian asked in a low voice.

"He's so wrong......"

The short middle-aged man with a beard replied with a strange expression.

"He's not a high-ranking knight?" Guderian frowned.

If it is a high-ranking knight, then it should be a voter, but if it is a voter, it is impossible for a companion to react like this.

"This ...... It's hard to say. ”

The short middle-aged man touched his beard as he spoke.

"I just found out that he seemed to be an old acquaintance of mine."

"Old acquaintances?"

Guderian was surprised when he heard this, "How can he be an old acquaintance of yours when he is so young?" ”

"That's why I've been watching it for so long."

He said, "Otherwise, you think I'm wondering something?" ”

"Okay......"

Things seem to be going in some strange direction.

Guderian groaned, "And who is he like?" ”

"Anthony."

The beard replied, "Anthony Locke." ”

The name made Guderian frown, and then said without hesitation: "This is impossible, you must be mistaken!" ”

"I don't think it's possible."

The companion replied helplessly, "But it was from him that I saw the shadow of Anthony." ”

"What about the others? Have you seen any other clues? ”

"No, I didn't see anything but the fat man......"

Saying this, the short middle-aged man, who was known as the master of fraud, suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"But it's worth coming here today, although I don't know how Anthony became this boy, but his wife is looking for him all over the world."

"We can take this news and exchange it for a large sum of money with her......"

Guderian didn't say anything.

Because he didn't believe what his companions saw.

It's not just because he knows exactly that Anthony is dead.

Also, it was completely different from what he had intuitively learned.

In his intuition, the boy was a vibrant, dynamic man with some mysterious qualities.

temperament and conversation, how can there be a shadow of the eunuch?

After thinking about it, Guderian suddenly turned around and walked towards the parlor.

"What are you going to do?"

The middle-aged man with a beard who was thinking about making a lot of money was surprised to see this, "Something fell inside?" ”

"Voters are critical to be able to increase the success rate of the ceremony, which will start in two days."

Guderian replied, "I must take the opportunity to determine his true identity." ”

"Didn't I already tell you that he was Ann-"

The words came to an abrupt end, and the bearded face turned into panic.

Because the companion in sight had disappeared in an instant, turning into a pale shadow, and rushed towards the black-haired young man who had just walked out of the living room!

"What a madman!"

It happened suddenly, and it was just a surprise.

After scolding in annoyance, the beard raised his hand without hesitation to crush a black gem pendant on his wrist, and then launched a surprise attack!
