After listening to Dunn's account, Valilla was slightly surprised.

What surprised her was that Dunn had even guessed that the former bosses of the two small gangs in the docklands had killed him...... It's hard!

You know, the rise and fall of those small gangs in the East Side is not a big deal worth reporting, let alone a small thing like an internal power change.

This can also be dug up by Dunn, which shows that he is indeed very meticulous in his investigation, and it also shows that "Dream Demon" has a unique advantage in digging up information.

"You're not entirely right," Valeera said without the slightest hint of anger at the secret being revealed, "The disappearance of the two gang bosses is ***, but I only killed the one related to the Aurora Society...... As for the other, he left Beckland alive."

She explained a few words, and then asked with interest:

"I'm curious, how did you find out so clearly?"

"You don't know?" A hint of doubt flashed in Dunn's deep gray eyes.

He originally thought that Valeera's control over the people around him should not be so loose, if not strict, and he didn't even notice such obvious signs, but after seeing Valeera's expression, he was silent for a few seconds, and still explained:

"You have brought the later merged 'Workers' Alliance Party' into your own home.

"Also, since some time ago, that - Makarov, he has regained contact with the 'Workers' Union Party' in the docklands, and it seems that the residual influence has returned."

When it comes to specific names, the "Dream Demon", who is known for his forgetfulness, pauses before remembering it.

Hearing Dunn say this, Valera reacted.

At that time, she also read the report of Lan'erys's death, and knew that Marc and the Campbell of the "Aurora Society" were also dealt with by the "Red Glove" at the same time...... It seems that the Aurora Society has thus lost control of the Workers' Alliance Party...... Well, Makarov is indeed one of the most prestigious candidates of the "Workers' Union Party" in existence.

Valilla remembered that the housekeeper had indeed reported Makarov's outings recently, but she hadn't paid too much attention to it—

As long as it's not an act that endangers herself, she won't interfere much.

She pondered for a moment, thinking that she might be able to intervene in the matter again......

"I see."

Valera nodded, thinking a lot, but her answer was very brief.

Dunn was increasingly puzzled by her reaction.

By common sense, if this was unexpected, shouldn't she be offended and annoyed by her investigative behavior?

Or is this her intentional guidance, then she should also be performing with the trend and continuing to mislead my thinking?

How can you reply with "understood" and there will be no follow-up?

"So you are a member of the School of Life, studying under a prophet?" Dunn threw out his own conclusions to the test.

He doesn't know much about the "School of Life", only that it is a secret organization born at the beginning of this era, mainly based on the inheritance of master and apprentice, mainly mastering the way of "monsters", and having produced "prophets", advocating the triple division of the absolute rational world, the spiritual world and the material world, and is suspected of believing in the moon rather than the goddess of the "Crimson Lord".

"As I said, I believe in the Goddess of the Night," Valera corrected, "not some Primordial Moon."

For a committed believer in the goddess like Dunn, this is obviously the point that needs to be clarified the most.

"As for the School of Life...... I'm not a member of them per se, but I do know a demigod from the School of Life.

"He's not a prophet, but he's pretty much the same."

After another explanation, Valeera thought about it and simply said more:

"I also had a conflict with the Witch Sect, you don't need to know the process, you just need to know that I am not restricted by any organization or individual now, and I have a completely autonomous sense of behavior.

"And my past.

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to be so meticulous

But in any case, that's not something to be kept strictly secret, or I wouldn't have sent Lydia and the three of them to you.

"You should know that if I want to control you, you have no room to resist."

Valera believed that Harold's experience of being restricted at first and then lifted, even if he didn't say it himself, Dunn should have known about it—

When she has a choice, she prefers to have a trusted companion rather than a subordinate who is controlled by means similar to that of the "Witch Cult".

After carefully observing Valeera's reaction to his temptation, Dunn had to admit that he was again inclined to believe the witch who was already Sequence 5.

He was silent for a long time, searching his heart, but he didn't notice the effects of "charm" or anything like that.

"Okay," he sighed, "I apologize for my investigative actions."

Dunn bowed to Valeera through the mirror.

After looking up again, he hesitated slightly, but still spoke:

"Lydia is a very nice girl, I want to help her ask......

"Corvo the Substitute Punishment, right?" Valera interrupted him directly.

As Dunn nodded, she took a deep breath and said in a tone as steady as she could, but still with a hint of trembling:

"I killed him, by mistake."

Recalling the regret from her memory, Valeera struggled to finish the short sentence.

Then she was silent for a few moments.

Dunn didn't say anything, just stood quietly in front of the dressing mirror, waiting for Valera to sort out her emotions.

……

After listening to Valeera's brief description of the process, Dunn couldn't think of anything to say.

From the point of view of the official extraordinary, this is undoubtedly a serious crime; But if her description is true, from the perspective of personal feelings, he can fully understand Valeera's counterattack at that time.

After all, it's a survival instinct.

"I'll explain this to Lydia," Valeera said in a low voice, "Wait a good time."

"Okay." Dunn nodded slowly.

He regretted asking about it.

This is an incomprehensible accident, and since Valera has no intention of escaping, it is better to leave it to her and Lydia to deal with by themselves, and it is a kind of trespass for others to interfere.

Because the atmosphere was close to solidifying, the two were silent for a short time.

After Valeera restrained her emotions, she opened her mouth to break the stiff atmosphere of the conversation:

"I've got news of Ince Zangwill."

"Or fate?" Dunn's gaze sharpened a little.

He asked because that's what Valera had told him last time - "Ince's fate is in Beckland."

Valeera nodded, and said the answer that had been prepared a long time ago:

"His fate will appear at sea, and finally disappear in the Southern Continent."
