In this world, it is not that there is no magic to control shadows.

Its properties are no different in principle from manipulating various elements.

Release, collect, reorganize, release again.

The so-called magic is to repeat this process mechanically.

But the black shadow in front of them was completely beyond their understanding.

It seems to have a consciousness of its own.

The black shadow first walked to the king's daily office desk, flipped through the documents on the table casually, then put down the documents in his hands and walked towards the dormitory step by step.

As the black shadow approached, Sophia and Reina could clearly feel a strange fluctuation in their minds, but it was quickly offset by another mental fluctuation.

Lena touched Sophia's hand and indicated that it had been like this before, causing everyone who came close to it to be in a trance.

Then the power to offset it must be the effect of Beora's potion.

I didn't expect it to be really useful.

The black shadow finally stopped at the king's bedside, staring at the sleeping king with non-existent eyes, and then pressed its dark hand on the king's forehead.

Reina signaled Sophia again to see if she needed to interrupt her movements.

“There is no need to alert the enemy”

Sophia replied.

If it wanted to do harm to the king, it would have done so long ago, and it was obvious that it was just doing what it had always done.

I saw a magic circle emerging from the black shadow's palm, and that strange feeling flooded into my mind again. This time, even the effect of the potion could not be suppressed.

And at this time, the two of them did not dare to concentrate on fighting, otherwise the shadow might notice something unusual.

Just before the two were about to lose consciousness, the black shadow's spellcasting ended.

The black shadow chuckled, then turned and left the room.

call.

The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the closet.

"Miss Lena, what kind of magic is that?" Although Sophia had some guesses, she didn't dare to draw random conclusions, so she still asked Lena for advice.

"It hints at magic, I think it is," Rena said.

Combined with what she noticed was wrong when she first met the king, Sophia understood.

"But it can obviously take action at any time, so why does it still hire those mercenaries..." Reina wondered.

With its ability, it is easy to kill the king in secret. All it takes is to use suggestion magic to create an "accidental death".

Spending so much time hiring killers and creating chaos is simply unnecessary.

Unless the other party's purpose is not as superficial as murdering the king and usurping the throne.

If the intelligence services were abolished four years ago, its planning had already begun.

So what is its purpose of controlling the king and blocking the flow of intelligence? What is it trying to cover up?

There are too many doubts and the clues cannot be connected at all.

But there are still gains, at least this time I can see the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although this is not good news.

Just as the medicine was about to take effect, the two of them prepared to leave the mansion.

Before leaving, Sophia took a special look at the documents on the table.

"The whole story of the disappearance of hundreds of people in Tafu Port", this is the report submitted by Harald, the mayor of Tafu Port.

"Budget Application for the Expansion of the Knights of the Guards" was submitted by Raymond, the leader of the Knights.

"Plan for handling frequent street fights among outsiders" was presented by City Defense Officer Turhe.

"Progress Report on the Excavation of Ancient Tablets", courtesy of Chief Court Mage Lysa Landsor.

"Annual General Income and Expenditure Report of the Northern Territory", submitted by the Duke of Campbell, Duke of the Northern Territory.

There are also some diplomatic correspondence among the rest, which is inconvenient to read.

For so many years, my father still insisted on reporting the territory's income and expenditure, because it was obviously an autonomous territory.

This may be one of the reasons why the royal family has so much trust in the Campbell family...

......

"I'm back." Finally, after the effects of the medicine had completely worn off, Sophia appeared in the lobby of the mansion.

"Sofia? Why did you suddenly... Oh, I remembered, the time has come, right?" Beora was stunned for a moment before she realized. Just like in the test, the moment she saw the effect of the medicine ended, her memory would There is a momentary fluctuation.

"What a disgusting feeling." Ke Lulu said.

That feeling of overwhelming force forcing something into your brain.

"So, what was the result? Was it successful?" Lorien asked.

"It's considered a success..." Sophia said.

Next, Sophia told everyone what she saw.

"Huh? It's really a humanoid shadow..." Beora said. She thought it was a metaphor, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"Who would have thought." Rena had the same reaction as Beora at first.

"So, let's sort out all the clues so far." Rosalin said.

"First, the mastermind behind the incident is a humanoid shadow that seems to have self-awareness. The true purpose is not yet clear, but it seems that it is not His Majesty at all. At the same time, it is also unclear whether the shadow is an entity or a spirit."

"Second, hiring those mercenaries is completely unnecessary. They are hired because the black shadow has other purposes."

"Third, His Majesty has been under the shadow of the shadow for a long time, and it started at least four years ago. It was the same time that the intelligence department was abolished. This means that the shadow wants to cover up something."

The third article is very important to Queen Rosalin. It at least proves that the king is controlled and he has never changed, whether it is his love for his daughter or himself.

"This is the situation, but even so, the enemy we have to face has not changed. Those mercenaries will not stop, and the assassination of His Majesty will still come as scheduled."

Maybe the mastermind behind the scenes is not a great person, but he set off this bloody storm, and the mercenaries who came smelling the smell of blood had their own hidden agendas. After experiencing that night, Rosalin was even more... Realize this deeply.

The mercenaries are not monolithic, and each of their organizations has different purposes.

Among them, only the "ghoul" is probably the most dangerous.

Rosalin's intuition told her that these guys were different, and the forces behind them were even more extraordinary.

This approaching storm, maybe if you step on the wrong foot if you are not careful, will cause the entire kingdom to fall into the abyss, and there will be no recovery.

How to deal with it, the queen fell into deep thought.

......

"Huh? This feeling..."

Somewhere in the palace, the dark figure leaving the official residence suddenly noticed something strange.

There was clearly someone in the king's bedroom just now, and its ability indeed affected them. Looking back carefully, there were traces of someone in the room at that time.

"Why didn't you notice it then?"

They were probably sent by those queens again, it didn't matter.

Even if you find out now, it's already too late.

How can you destroy the four-year plan so easily?

Unless that bastard goddess ends up personally.
