"You're from Firano, aren't you?" asked Victor casually as Ernest walked into the garden.

"No, it's the Seine!" replied Ernest with a slight bow, respectfully to Victor.

"Seine-n'oeuvre?"

"Yes!"

"I heard that it is Dongwoo's paradise, why did you leave there?"

"Because of hatred!"

"Hate, you have a grudge against Edlaide?"

"My lord was killed by him!" Ernest had red eyes and told Victor about Count Abigay. Of course, in his narration, Abigai became the righteous party, and Li Zijun became a little devil!

"For so many years, I have been trying to find a way to avenge my master. I don't know if it's because my ability is too poor, or his luck is too good, not only can I never shake him, but he is getting stronger and stronger, and his title is getting higher and higher. It's a shame to think about it!"

"Don't say you, it's me, I thought I could kill him several times, but in the end he escaped from the palm of my hand!" Victor empathized and sighed deeply with Ernest.

"According to you, Edlaide was only six or seven years old when he killed your master, could this be just a misinformation? How can a six- or seven-year-old naughty boy have such a high level of intelligence? As far as I know, Edlaide's eldest sister Caroline is a ruthless and intelligent woman, but it is impossible that she put her own affairs on Edlaide's body, so as to flaunt Edlaide's 'cleverness'?"

"Initially, I also had such suspicions, but after so many years of covert investigation, I dare to conclude that he is the culprit who killed my master!"

"That woman Caroline is an executioner at best compared to Edlaide!"

"Do you have proof?"

"Think back in the day. Before Edlaide returned to the Seine, Caroline was on the verge of being cornered by my lord. It was Edlaide's return that quickly turned the tide and cost my lord's life. So. It must be him! It can only be him!"

"So you know Edlaide well?"

"I don't know yet, but I've studied him for many years. I really have some experience with his every move!"

"Oh, anyway, if you have nothing to do today, how about you introduce him to me?" said Vick, pulling Ernest into the gazebo in the garden.

"Sit down and talk!"

"This" looked at the stone chair in front of him, and Ernest didn't dare to sit down directly.

"There's no one else here, you just treat me as a normal friend of yours, we're just chatting today, you don't have to be so reserved!" said Victor and pulled Ernest to sit down.

"Tell me more about it. What has Edlaide done over the years, what have you learned from it, and what are his strengths and weaknesses?"

"Edlaide ??????" Ernest briefly sorted out his thoughts and told Victor about his investigation of Li Zijun for so many years.

"If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that Edlaide must not be considered in a normal way of thinking! To be honest, I would be surprised if Edlaide suddenly appeared in front of us now, but I would never be surprised. Because, in my perception of him, he is such a whimsical person, no one can guess exactly what he wants to do next and what he will do!"

"What are his strengths and weaknesses?" Victor pondered for a moment. asked Ernest in a low voice.

"His strengths are morality, nostalgia, tenacity, active thinking, and thinking about what others dare not think! Of course, this does not include his martial arts and magic!"

"As for his shortcomings: stubborn, soft-loving, and not resolute enough to do things!"

"The reason why we were able to deal a blow to his intelligence network in Ciudad Filano this time is why. It's all because of these shortcomings! If he can cut down the grass and eradicate everything, it won't leave him with so many hidden dangers!"

"He's a bit of a woman's kindness, are you sure he's going to Nogan this time?" Victor suddenly changed his words and mentioned what had just happened again.

"Again, no one can accurately guess his next move, I don't dare to make any guarantees for this, but I think there is at least a sixty or seventy percent chance!"

"Sixty or seventy percent may be a lot!" Speaking of this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Victor's eyes.

"My lord, what do you want to do? Lord Dharma Protector has already made it clear about this, you must not."

"I ask you: Do you still want to avenge Count Abigai?"

"But"

"Don't 'but'. All I have to ask is if you want to?"

"Yes!" Ernest hesitated slightly, and nodded timidly to Victor.

"You just want to! You follow me to Nogan this time, as long as you help me find Edlaide. I'll help you kill him!, and you'll be avenging Abigai!"

"Not only that, but I can also promise: after killing Edlaide, you don't have to be a little follower for that woman Blanche, and I will let you have the glory and wealth that you will never enjoy in this life!"

"If Dennis's plot fails this time, you probably won't have a chance to avenge Count Abigay in this life!" Seeing that Ernest was still hesitating, Victor further increased the stakes in his hand.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I can't do this!" Ernest frowned and pondered for a while, but finally he refused Victor's request:

"The princess and Lord Karen are my benefactors, and I must not betray them!Excuse me, my lord, I take my leave!" Ernest arched his hand to Victor, and turned to walk out of the pavilion.

But the moment Ernest turned around, he felt his back sink, and then he lost consciousness.

Victor looked around to make sure there was no one, and he quickly left the gazebo with Ernest in his arms.

"How?" said Slint, who was meditating in silence, when McAdam suddenly walked into his room. The moment he felt McAdam, Slint sighed and opened his eyes.

"As you might expect, Victor is still on his way to Nogan City!" said McAdam, shaking his head, and recounted everything he had seen to Slint.

"Ernest rejected Victor?

"This young man has been doing well, and his loyalty seems to be able to stand the test now, and Karen has found a good helper this time!"

"Why Karen, and not Victor?"

"Teacher, after today's incident, do you think Ernest is still possible to lean towards Victor?" McAdam shook his head with a wry smile.

"What happened today, and why can't Ernest lean over to Victor?"

"What do you mean, teacher?" said McAdam, stunned slightly, looking at Slint with a slight puzzlement.

"In order to avenge Count Abigai, Ernest strongly encouraged Victor to go to the city of Nogan!"

"But I saw it with my own eyes"

"What did you see with your own eyes? Didn't you stay in this room with me all the time?" Slint said as he interrupted McAdam and looked him in the eye.

"If Edlaide isn't in Norgan City, are you going to let Ernest carry this black pot for Victor?"

"Victor has just experienced a fiasco, he is the heir of the Fengqi Empire, the future of the Fengqi Empire, we can't let him bear any stains on his back!"

"Teacher, Ernest is a rare talent for us, aren't you doing this to bury him with your own hands?"

"How can it be said to be 'buried'?! This is actually a test for him and a test for his luck. As long as he's lucky, he'll be the first to do this time, just in case," Slynt paused slightly:

"Then he can only be blamed for his bad luck!"

"But in this way, are we too unfair to Karen?"

"Karen's future is in the Cult of God, she just needs to concentrate on handling the affairs of the Sect, there is no need to be so strong, and there is no need to recruit talents like Ernest!"

"Victor is different, his mission is not only to manage the Fengqi Empire, but also to unify the Youlan Continent. Ernest can only play a greater role if he becomes his subordinate!"

"I'm actually doing this for Ernest's good, that young man's thoughts about Blanche you won't be invisible, but with his current identity and status, it is impossible for him to really get together with Blanche. I'm putting him to the test this time, and I'm actually giving him a chance, a chance to be with Blanche forever!"

"But Teacher!"

"There's no 'but'! McAer, when you remember me: you haven't been to the garden today, and you haven't seen anything! I don't want to hear anyone, especially King, talk about today's events. Do you understand?" Slint's face sank, and his voice dropped directly to 'absolute zero'!

Listening to his teacher mention Kim, McAdam finally understood the teacher's mind!

On the surface, there is a harmony between Slint and Kim, but in reality, McAdam knows that Slint is extremely jealous of Kim.

This is not only because Kim's achievements in magic have always been not inferior to him, but also because Kim's interpersonal relationships within the Cult of God are also far better than Slint!

Slint is low-key and humble on the surface, but he is extremely proud in his bones, and few people can really get into his 'eyes'; compared to King, who seems to be more flamboyant, MacAdam knows very well, in fact, King is far more approachable than Slint, and the congregation is more willing to deal with King.

The most important thing is that Kim and Karen are teachers and friends, and they both trust and appreciate each other very much!

And this is definitely a huge threat to Slint, who has always spoken the same thing in the Cult! )
