When Chang~

With the crisp sound of metal clashing, the handleless blood-stained blade was casually discarded by Lily.

Chained to a gray cobweb, Chancellor Griffith hung his head and was completely unconscious.

"I really like to get people into trouble......"

Lily whispered in disgust.

Under Lily's interrogation, he had become a blur of flesh and blood.

Lily also received very detailed information.

Chancellor Griffith also has the power of the third level in the authoritarian path. Before becoming a minister, he was a lawyer who graduated from the Wangli University of Law. To be able to reach the third level at the age of thirty is already quite an outstanding talent.

At the same time, Lily can also sense that he has the adaptability of the first level of love.

But that's just the intensity.

After getting used to playing high-end games, Lily didn't even leave him a chance to resist when she used sneak attacks to deal with a real third-level transcendent.

During the whole process, Shadow Fiend didn't even get a chance to make a move. Lily alone defeated Griffith.

With the cobwebs of lies and the control of the [Potister in the Shadows], he was completely controlled by Lily before Minister Griffith could effectively fight back.

After that, Lily alternately used the Eagle Feather Dagger for violent interrogation, and then used the "Love Elixir" attached to the [Shadow Spellcaster] as a control, and soon squeezed out the information of Minister Griffith.

Part of the reason for this is that Griffith has lost his vigilance for too long; Part of the reason is that Lily's equipment is so good.

But in fact, the most important reason is his own laziness.

He has been in Star Antimony for a full decade, but his authoritarian path has always stopped at the level of ten years ago. Although there is more adaptability to the path of love, the level is too low. It did not play a synergistic role in the two paths, and the excess "desire" actually slowed down the progress of the main path.

Lily, as a "witch" with a higher level of the same path, used the "love elixir" left from the previous bone carving relics and could affect the third level as a means of control, which happened to be able to control Griffith. And the witch's potion is extremely oppressive to Griffith, who is in the lower position of the same path, and it is almost impossible to exempt it.

In the case of different paths, there may be opportunities to hit the short with a long one; But the suppression of the upper position from the same path is almost impossible to resolve.

Just like the Noble Red Giant Prince, his curse of the Three Sins, the suppression of the demon scholars who are on the lower ranks of the same path is incomprehensible. Ivus was able to escape, completely relying on intelligence suppression.

The reason why Lily did so hard was because she knew Ivas well enough.

Her owner, Ewass, is a very protective person. Even to some extent, he can be said to be a person who helps relatives and does not help. And in the current "intimacy ranking" of Aihuas, Miss Yulia, who has grown up with Aihuas and depends on each other, is undoubtedly the first at present.

- Ivus didn't even dare to let her know what she was doing.

When he did something bad or dangerous, he would tell Lily many times that he should not tell Yulia about it.

When Miss Yulia first wanted to become a transcendent being, she had the talents of balance, wisdom, dedication, and transcendence of the four paths.

But of the options, Ivus ruled out the latter two outright - he wanted Yulia to become an alchemist or a mage, as these were the two safest professions. Usually you don't have to go out at all, you don't have to come into contact with other people, you don't need to face danger, the threat of extraordinary knowledge is not so great, you can have a certain degree of self-protection ability after formation, and you won't be too weak in the promotion ceremony.

Although Ivas didn't force Yulia to choose either class, Yulia was so clever that she easily sensed what Ivas wanted of her, and became an alchemist.

…… Of course, in Lily's opinion, Yulia is not really the kind of girl who is "too weak" or "needs protection" in any way.

A girl who has been in a state of high fever for several years, but can usually endure the pain while remaining quiet and rational and focusing on reading and studying, and will not lose her temper or cry, what kind of strong mind she will have, it is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Although to Ivus, she always seemed to be weak...... But in fact, when Ivas was not at home, Yulia, who was three years younger than Ivus, was the one who was in charge of the family. All the servants in the house looked up to her, including Lily, of course.

And Yulia has a bizarre, completely unexplainable strange power. Although her body is weak and lacks physical strength, she occasionally bursts into strength stronger than that of an adult man.

It's a secret that exists only among servants. The old master, James, also knew, but neither Edward nor Ivas knew.

Although she rarely shows in front of people, especially in front of Ewass, she doesn't deliberately exert her strength...... But on the night that Ivus encountered the Shadow Demon and fell into a coma, Yulia picked him up.

Eivas thought it was Lily who bathed him and Oswald was the one who carried him—but that was only half right. Because when Ivus entered the house, Yulia took him away. Lily helped during the cleaning, and Yulia took Ivas away after washing.

She was walking like a brisk and looked unusually healthy...... It's just that after that, it was as if she had been "devoured", and the phantom egg in her body flareed up again.

And now, Lily finally knows what the reason for all this is.

“…… Heracross. ”

Lily muttered under her breath.

According to key information provided by Minister Griffith, Yulia is of Heracrosian ancestry.

- It was the royal family of the Hellasr Empire.

White-haired, red-eyed, and powerful, these are the characteristics of the Heracros family.

But this is unlikely......

Because this family was extinct long before the time of the Rip War.

If there were no heirs, the cause of the Ripping War would not have been valid at all - because the reason that led to the division of the Herasr Empire into four kingdoms, Star Antimony, Iris, Narcissus, and Black Eagle, was because the royal family was completely wiped out and the country did not have a legitimate heir. Thus each nation claimed to be the true heir of the old empire, while the other three were traitors.

Even if one of Heraclos was alive at the time, the Rip-Ground War should not have happened.

Unless......

“…… Swamp people? ”

Lily muttered, vaguely aware of something.

She also followed Ivus through the entire village of Eagle Point.

Although she usually doesn't say a word, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have ears and doesn't listen to anything.

Rather, it's the opposite.

She was always listening to other people's conversations, always gathering intelligence.

If Yulia was a swamp made with the "blood of Heracross", then it would explain why her biological parents were never found.

It is said that when Jade, the owner of the family, was about to take Yulia from the orphanage, she exploded with great power - several adult men could not take her away at all.

When Lily first heard this story, she thought it was "for fear of hurting Yulia, so they didn't dare to use force", to highlight Yulia's determination not to leave.

But in retrospect......

That may be a realistic, literal "can't be pulled away".

Chancellor Griffith himself didn't even know the purpose of his "would-be master", but Lily, who had more information, understood the whole story.

- Star Antimony got Yulia's information from somewhere.

They asked Minister Griffith to figure it out on his own, but in any case to get Yulia's blood.

Chancellor Griffith's solution was to claim that Yulia was the Phantom Egg and ask for an examination - they didn't really know that Yulia was the Phantom Egg, which was a complete slander. The purpose was to get Yulia's blood.

Although Yulia was once indeed the Illusory Egg, it is indeed a felony to keep the Illusory Egg without permission...... However, Eivas has a special secret instrument that can safely remove the phantom eggs from his body. Now that Yulia has no illusion eggs in her body, they certainly won't be afraid to test it.

So, Minister Griffith will be able to get Yulia's blood.

But when Griffith came up with the idea, the Eye Demon made a new request. He was required to attack Ivus - at least to make it clear that he was hostile to Ivus, and not to side with him.

Chancellor Griffith didn't know why, so he was confused.

But Lily knew.

In fact, Griffith is just a bait.

He was used for fishing.

If he is hostile to Ivus, plus he expresses his hostility towards Yulia...... Then according to Aihuas's style, he will most likely directly send someone to deal with him.

But the Star Antimony people are unaware of the existence of "Lily".

In their expectations, the person who shot should be "Aless". That's why the Eye Demon will most likely jump away and leave immediately after seeing the traces of the Shadow Fiend's existence through the "Future Vision" or "True Vision".

Because it is ready to run away at any time.

If all goes well, then "Miss Aleister" will be able to learn information about Yulia's bloodline from Griffith's mouth.

But......

…… And after that?

Lily's brow furrowed slightly.

She's still not as smart as Ivus after all. She could only analyze it so far, and her thoughts were like hitting a transparent wall.

If it was Ivas or Sherlock, they would have been able to guess what the Star Antimony Man was trying to do.

But there was one thing she was clearly aware of.

- In that case, we can't let "Miss Aleister" appear here.

What others don't know, Lily knows. There is no "Aleister Crowley" at all, that is another identity of her young master.

And Iwass is not far away at the moment to invite the reporter to dinner.

His aim was to put pressure on the knights of the Round Table by means of telling them, "I'm looking at you." And at any time it is possible to use violent means other than the meeting to achieve the goal, and you do have the power in your hands, and you cannot counter it.

Because nominally, Ivas and Miss Aleister have fallen out. At this time, even if Arester assassinated the minister, it could not be said that it was Aihuas's fault, and it could even be said that Arester deliberately made trouble for Aihuas. Then Isabel certainly can't "condemn Ivas for the fault of a foreign spy and killer who wants to trouble Ivus".

…… However, the situation is different now.

There is a risk that Miss Yulia will be involved in this matter. And there seems to be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

Ivas had taught Lily some of the ways to deal with it in advance.

There were a lot of things that Lily didn't understand, but she clearly wrote down and understood one sentence—

"If you could know what your enemies want you to do...... Then you'd better not do it. From this point of view, the essence of the game is to gain insight into the true intentions of the other party from the midst of many disguises and misleadings. ”

"You're not my tool, and you're going to have your own mind, Lily. ”

Lily thought quickly.

This is the first time she has encountered a situation where "if you do what Ivus has planned, you will lead Ivus into a trap". She had to think of the best solution for herself in a short period of time.

And Shadow Fiend has been very silent lately, not saying a word.

In the past, she could have relied on Shadow Fiend's advice. But now she had to think for herself.

- Since the fish that the Star Antimony wants to catch is Arest, then "Arest" can't be allowed to bite the hook.

Fortunately, Lily prepared a second method......

Fortunately, she hadn't used any of the power that belonged to the Shadow Demon so far, so she didn't leave any traces of the shadow that was contaminated with the aura of transcending the path. The shadow she uses comes entirely from herself, from the gift of Evas, which is the breath of the path of love and adaptation.

She pushed her glasses and gently rotated the glove wristband on her left hand by a scale.

Switch the "love elixir" attached to the glove and used during torture to the "Moon Mist" that allows people's internal organs to melt quickly in a matter of seconds.

Then, Lily stretched out her black-gloved left hand and slowly but firmly grabbed Chancellor Griffith's neck.

The pink tree-like lines spread rapidly down from the neck. Black blood slowly spilled from between his mouth and nose.

This young talent, who is no more than forty years old this year, lost his breath in the blink of an eye.

Miss Chloe, I'm going to trouble you again......

Lily sighed silently and slowly removed her gloves.

So far, this Miss Chloe has carried a lot of pots.

And right now, this one is perhaps the biggest one.

I saw Lily's body gradually mutate, turning into a gray werewolf with scarlet pupils.

She didn't hesitate to tear up Chancellor Griffith's corpse and destroy the traces of her own interrogation - but in fact, it was only partially destroyed, and if she investigated carefully, she could still find traces of Ling Chi's flesh and blood when she was alive using "Eagle Feathers".

But that's just right.

What you find out yourself will be more convincing.
