Ales ......

Thinking of the former director of the secretarial department, Mitra was a little distracted.

"Questions?" Wayne noticed her expression and asked lightly.

"No, no."

Mitra's eyes returned focus, staring at the young wizard in front of him, soothing the throbbing in his heart, and said, "I guess you have a detailed analysis of the events of Custer's night, and you should know something ......"

You?

Wayne chuckled, the Desire Sect's relegator was even more resigned to his fate than he had imagined.

That's fine.

"I know some, I should say that I know the general direction of the matter, but there are still some things that I haven't figured out, I hope you can give me an answer."

"Then I understand, I'll tell you what I know first......"

Mitra let out a light breath, and instead of looking at the young wizard, she slowly moved to the wine glass in her hand, and recalled:

"The cause of the incident goes back to seventeen years ago, when Ales was the deputy director of the secret division and the youngest director-level transcendent in the entire city-state of Cust, which can be regarded as high-spirited."

"At that time, the situation of the city-state was very complicated, and the nobles' council, the council and the Church of the Dawn attacked each other, to be precise, the council of the nobles and the council joined forces to rebel against the Church of the Dawn......"

Rebel against the dawn?

Wayne's eyes changed slightly, were the councils and nobles so heroic at that time?

Before, he didn't know the details of the Dawn Church, but now he knew that it was the Orthodox Church that occupied the entire Eastern Continent, not to mention that it was just a small Castel city-state, even if it was the Shatlan Kingdom, the other party could easily be destroyed.

In the face of such a strong man, the noble council and the parliament dare to resist?

"Do you know who was sitting in the Krems Cathedral at the time?"

"Andrews?" Wayne mused.

Mitra nodded, "At that time, Andrews, who came to the city-state of Caster with Ales, had already taken over as bishop of the Cathedral of Krims. ”

"Alex isn't the director yet?"

Wayne raised an eyebrow, understanding what she was trying to say.

Alex and Andrews are the same age, but seventeen years ago, their identities had changed somewhat.

In the words of his previous life, if he is in a different position, then the way he looks at things will inevitably be skewed.

And it's not about friendship, it's about position.

Obviously, Ales at that time should have looked at the Church of the Dawn from the perspective of the Secret Division, or from the standpoint of the Council.

"That's right! At that time, Bishop Andrews had just taken over as bishop, and he had to settle the mess left by his previous bishop, and he was also under pressure in the face of the lack of cooperation in all aspects of the parliament and the noble council. ”

Speaking of this, Mithra added, "It should be noted here that unless there is a war or calamity in the city-state, the Sanctuary of Dawn will not bother with the affairs of the city-state because of such a thing. ”

"This also created conditions for those nobles and the council, and also laid the groundwork for what to follow......"

What's next...... That should have been the time when the former Secretary of the Secret Department had suffered a heavy loss......

Wayne didn't interrupt, and listened quietly to Mitra's story.

As he thought, in the face of that situation, the anxious Bishop Andrews decided to take the initiative, but he knew his friend's personality and would never let him do anything that harmed the inhabitants of the city-state.

So, before the plan began, he tricked Ales into going on an adventure with a treasure map, the ruins of the Western Continent where Tina was staying.

Then he began to use the power in his hands to take the initiative to win over a group of extraordinary families, promising benefits and trying to win all the families he could.

I have to say that the name of the Dawn Church is indeed very useful, and many nobles are believers in Dawn......

Thus, after seeing an archbishop put down his body, the nobles gladly accepted it, thus dividing the seemingly united aristocratic council.

Immediately afterwards, Andrews used the power of these nobles to control the aristocratic council and check and balance the parliament.

In fact, the plan has been carried out at this point, his goal has been achieved, and all he has to do is to strengthen his own control, balance the strength of the noble council and the council, and buy more time.

But Andrews was careless, he didn't notice that among the nobles he had co-opted, the old Ernst, who was afraid of the city-state's chaos, didn't notice their determination to regain control of the city-state of Custer.

Therefore, one evening, with the help of the energy of the Glory Society, the Ernst family found a forbidden object and put it into the secret department through a series of means......

The rest is what Wayne is familiar with.

The demon clown gets out of control and slaughters a large number of members of the Secret Division, and then the returning Ales borrows Tina's power to solve the loss of control of the taboo.

“…… Within two hours of Ales's resolution of the taboo, he became the new head of the Secretarial Division, which frustrated Old Ernst's plans. ”

Mitra's tone couldn't help but sigh, when she knew about this, it was also after a long time of contact with the nobles of the Glory Society, and at that time Ales was still the most existence in the city-state.

"Oh? Old Ernst wants to take control of the Secret Division? ”

"Well," Mitra nodded, "the city-state guards and the Secret Division have always been under the control of the Council, and if the Noble Council can control the Secret Division, plus their family guards, they will have an absolute advantage. ”

Wayne asked thoughtfully, "What kind of role was Bishop Andrews seventeen years ago?" Leave it alone? ”

"Yes, he didn't do anything after he became aware of the old Ernst's plans. For him, whether the nobility or the parliament was weakened, the Church of the Dawn would have a greater say in the city-state of Caster. ”

Got it.

Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!

But

I'm afraid that Bishop Andrews didn't expect things to turn out either, right?

"No wonder, after Ales became the director, he didn't approach any side. Even on the council's side, he's only done superficial work......"

"That's true."

Speaking of which, Mitra couldn't help but look at Wayne, "You know a little more than I thought. ”

"Go on."

Wayne smiled and raised his hand for her to continue.

Seventeen years ago was only the cause of the whole incident, and what he wanted to know more was what Ales had done before that night.

Or rather, how did he drive the Council of Nobles into the trap step by step......

"Later ......," Mitra thought for a moment and said, "About seven years ago, I arrived in the city that never sleeps. At that time, the Glory Society had already contacted our Desire Sect, and wanted to use the power of the Great Desire Lord to control a group of people in the city-state of Custer. ”

"The old Earl Ernst is mainly trying to control some of the core members of the council, most of whom are contenders for consulship."

"Until one night two years ago, the sect contacted me out of the blue, asking me to contact a man codenamed 'Dark Night' and do something with him."

"I later learned that the 'Dark Night' was Director Ales himself, and he didn't know what he had exchanged for the leader's consent to form an alliance in secret."

Double agent?

Wayne raised an eyebrow, something he hadn't thought of before.

He had thought that Mitra was only working with the nobles...... But in doing so, he also figured out how Ales had set up a trap for old Ernst to drill into.

There is a core member of the enemy's internal response, as long as it is not discovered, then he can arrange it calmly.

Coupled with the old Jack who kidnapped Claire as a foreign aid, Alex had a good chance of winning from the beginning.

Oh, and you have to count Tina and the Joker's runaways......

"What about the Black Pearl? And the people of the Abyss Sect? ”

"The Abyss Sect called Old Ernst, but after Ales found out about this, he also made a deal with someone from the Abyss Sect, and the Abyss Leader did not appear in the city-state that night, so I think he should have done it."

"As for the Black Pearl...... I know that the Glory Society has sent a message that they have not signed a contract with them, and they seem to have their own plans. ”

Mitra shook her head again, "Sorry, I don't know that very well. ”

"It's okay, you've said enough, and I've figured out the whole thing. Well, thank you very much. Wayne smiled and said gently.

He knew that it wasn't Ales on the Abyss Sect's side who made the move, but the people of the Dawn Church who stopped him.

And the target on the Black Pearl should be the forbidden object in the hands of Director Nepha, as well as the little white hair.

But later upon meeting Blackjack, they don't seem to be interested in Little White Fur......

Therefore, Wayne can only guess that the reason why Blackjack kidnapped Tina at that time was instructed by someone, or was it simply the handiwork of Ales?

"Mr. Wayne, there's one last thing I want to tell you."

Mitra's heart was slightly relieved, she was really worried that the young wizard would be angry with her because of Ales's matter, but for now it seems that the situation is fine.

"Did you know that Ales might be on this island now?"

"Huh?"

Wayne was stunned, Ales on the island?

He turned his head to look at Tina, who was sitting quietly next to her, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the model of the sailboat she was holding, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her red eyes.

The familiar feel of the Golden Tavern, crafting materials from the ruins of the Western Continent in the Jimenez Family Repair Workshop......

Is it Ales' arrangement?

It's possible!

Thinking of this, Wayne looked at Mitra and asked in a cold tone, "What else do you know, tell me!" ”

"He, he ......"

Mitra's face changed slightly, and the trembling horror that had just now swept through her body again, making her feel only a chill in her body.

"Well, just a week ago, Old Jack, who had left with Alex, approached me and said that they would arrive on Alexei Island in the near future."

"Let me come to the island in advance, prepare a hiding place for them, and set up a rune circle so that I can hide from the pursuit of the valiant saintess of the Church of the Dawn."

"So, he hasn't arrived yet?"

"I don't know...... But with what I know about Ales, he will definitely determine the situation on the island in advance before he shows up at the right opportunity......"

Caution?

Wayne's eyes flickered with a faint flush, and the killing intent spread out, as if he wanted to devour anything in front of him.

"Did they say they came to this island for a purpose?"

"This ......" Mitra raised her eyes, the expression on her face speaking for themselves.

Originally, she didn't know the purpose of Arest's intention to run around to Alexei Island, but the moment she saw Wayne, she understood - that person must have wanted to finish what he hadn't done in the city-state of Caster!

"To wait for me?"

"But, probably."

Wayne stared at her indifferently for a long time before a smile reappeared on his face, gentle and sunny.

"This news is important to me......"

The alert is dismissed.

Mitra was slightly relieved, laughed dryly, and said, "I'm not sure either...... According to the deal between our Desire Sect and that one, after the events of the city-state of Custer ended, the two sides were not involved. After that I thought I wouldn't see him again...... Didn't expect ......"

"Actually, I didn't expect to see him anytime soon, hoho." The smile on the corner of Wayne's mouth became even brighter, "Is this the place you have prepared for them?" ”

"Well, I've met that Mr. Honatan a few times before, and here is his ...... for me We desire the sect to prepare. ”

"So, he knows who you are?"

"Sort of," Mitra hesitated and explained, "I used the Desire Magic on him, and I could influence some of his decisions. ”

Hypnotic-like effect?

Tsk, these Desire Sects, Despair Sects, and the like always have unique abilities in demagogy.

Thinking like this, Wayne glanced around, his spiritual perception covering the entire building, carefully examining every place, not letting go of any faint fluctuations.

"Did he tell you exactly what time he would arrive on Alexei Island?"

"No," Mitra shook her head, then added, "but I guess he'll find a way to get rid of the Valiant Saint before coming here." ”

Wayne tapped thoughtfully on the table, "Oh. ”

The valiant Saints of the Church of the Dawn pursued Ales Coulibaly, plus the Judgment Saintess Celestia Edas......

"Mr. Wayne, I, that's all I know, you're ......"

Looking at the young wizard with a pensive face, Mitra's heart was bitter, she had said everything she had to say, she didn't want to be implicated by Ales.

"You want me to leave now?"

"If you can!"

"Why leave? He chased after me, and wherever I was hiding, he would find a way to find me. Instead of hiding around, why don't you just finish here, just ......"

At this point, Wayne paused and looked at Tina, who still had that gentle look on her face.

It just so happened that Xiao Baimao had been waiting for a long time!

"That'...... Then I wish Mr. Wayne success, and I will not get involved in this matter. ”

Mitra didn't feel much about his thoughts.

Ales or Wayne are people who don't have much to do with her.

Now she just wants to stay away from Alexei Island, away from these two madmen......

"Oh? You're leaving? Wayne looked at her with a smile and asked.

"Yes, yes."

Mitra's heart suddenly changed, didn't this man want to run away?

"No, you don't want to!"

“……”

Mitra's eyes widened, and her gorgeous face was full of incredulity.

This young Mr. Wizard, really doesn't want her to leave?

Are you going to kill her?

After thinking for a while, Mitra cautiously asked, "You, do you need me to do anything?" ”

"I like smart people."

Wayne replied ambiguously, and then took out a few pieces of parchment used to write the contract from the space ring, spread them on the table in front of him, and gestured: "Smart people make the right choice. ”

Indenture?

Mitra looked at the parchment on the table, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Even Ales and the others have never signed a contract with her...... The......

Wayne was inexplicably happy when he saw the complicated and wonderful expression on her face, and the scene when he saw the Lord of Desire in the City That Never Sleeps came to mind.

Well, at that time, she was still quite scary, at least when she never sleeped......

"I'll give you three choices, the first master-servant contract, you become my follower, or to put it more bluntly, the maid."

"The second, the Pact of Equality, you have to provide me with information about Ales until I get rid of him once and for all."

"As for the third option, I will kill you now, lest you become Ales's help."

"Now," Wayne looked at her with a smile, "please start your choice." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitra did not hesitate to put his hand on the first piece of parchment, and said in a firm tone: "I choose the first one!" ”

Wayne: "??? ”

Crazy, shouldn't normal people choose the second one?
