You call this the mastermind?

Merlen didn't know what the woman he imprisoned was thinking. Because of the lack of communication, he certainly didn't believe that the other party's willingness to die was true, and even suspected that it was a trick to retreat.

The first impression of a person is really important. In Mellen's view, no matter what the nun is doing, he will subconsciously think of her in the worst way.

But no matter what, the problem of studying the prayer has been temporarily handed over to the other party. It is not certain what can be gained, but the first step has been taken after all.

On the other hand, the burning energy in the domain sphere cannot be solved for the time being.

After collecting some information everywhere and preparing for the creation of the "Lord God Space", Mellen decided to think about this when the prayer has made progress.

So next, he planned to return to Base No. 2 and continue to communicate with the spirit to enter the other world and study the problem of the skeleton.

However, some abnormal phenomena in Fort Saint Grant temporarily attracted his attention.

The abnormal situation came from two people.

Two sneaky people are watching a group of people in the dark.

Because a lot of things have happened recently, Mellen often transforms into Egger vest to search for "security risks" in Saint Grant Castle, and also frequently uses the golden finger to observe whether the fate of some important people in the school has changed.

So now he can be said to know who is in the school and what they are doing. He also knows who comes in and out every day.

However, these two people are not in this range.

This alone does not mean anything. After all, this school is too big, and he can't take care of it all. It's inevitable that there will be omissions.

But if you consider that the target of these two people's observation is Gray Felix and other members of the Felix family, it seems a bit subtle.

After all, Gray led the team here to investigate his son Kevin.

"The heir's ability is very strange, and it seems to have a monitoring function. I always suspect that if we do this, we may be discovered."

With the authority, Melen can not only see the two people whispering in the shadows of the wall, but also hear their conversation.

"As long as it's not too obvious that it's abnormal, there won't be a problem."

Another person said: "The lord said that if the heir wants to use his authority, he needs to rely on a map, and that map can only be used in a special space, not at any time and anywhere."

"But Gray came to investigate his son's affairs, it's impossible to hide it from the heir."

The first voice said worriedly: "Maybe he will be interested in the whereabouts of Gray and others, and then find us by the way during the observation?"

"It's okay if he finds out."

The second person continued: "Although the hiding method given to us by the lord can't be hidden from the heir, it is enough to hide our own names. As long as we change our names every time we come, he will never know who we are."

"I hope the assassination operation in a few days will go smoothly."

The first person didn't continue the topic, but sighed and said: "With this heir here, we are afraid to do anything, it's really too aggrieved."

"Don't worry, since the lord dares to do it, he must have the confidence to get rid of him."

The voice answered very confidently.

The first person was curious.

"Your Excellency seems to know the ability of the heir very well?"

"How can I not know."

The second person whispered: "Your Excellency was actually an heir hundreds of years ago, and he basically knows what this identity can do."

"There is also this matter?"

"Of course, otherwise how could we hide for so long without being discovered?"

"But not many people know about this matter, you better not go out..."

It is obviously boring to stay in the shadows and monitor motionlessly. The conversation between the two seems to have magical energy attached to it, which is enough to prevent others from hearing any movement.

However, after the upgrade of the Egg vest, Melen has discovered that this vest brings not only more convenient use of the heir's authority, but also various aspects of the amplification of the heir's ability.

It was because of this amplification that he successfully imprisoned the intruder Demon King.

And now, he also heard the conversation between the two parties unimpeded.

Unfortunately, although the two people were carelessly communicating some secrets, because they were heard in the middle, Melen actually couldn't figure out who they were and what bad things they were going to do.

He could only know that these two people must be enemies, because the assassination plan they casually mentioned was obviously aimed at him.

"During the ocean exploration in a few days?"

Melen thought of this possibility in an instant, because that was the only time he would leave Fort Saint Grant recently and was a perfect opportunity for assassination.

He was even mentally prepared for this, and felt that it would not be possible for only one group of people to jump out at that time.

So Melen was not surprised by this incident, and his attention was mainly focused on the origins and purposes of these two people.

"The purpose of causing trouble for Kevin was to attract his father Gray, and why is Gray being monitored now? Diverting trouble? Killing with a borrowed knife?"

After taking great pains to attract Gray, it was not just to kill him.

This sudden discovery made Melen think.

But after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to focus on this matter at all - although the existence behind these two people was plotting to assassinate him, that was another matter.

What they are doing now obviously has nothing to do with them.

Of course, if these people want to continue harming Kevin, for Juliana's sake, he might even help that cheap son.

But now the trouble seemed to have gone to his ex-husband, so he didn't bother to think about it.

So Mellen took out the Book of Secret Words and sent everything he saw to a friend above.

Regardless of what these people are going to do, there is nothing wrong with borrowing a knife to kill someone and just watching from the sidelines.

Mellen then returned to Base No. 2.

The living area in the base is still very clean, with no trace of mess.

In the laboratory located in the corner, the magic potion for channeling in the cup has been replenished. It is obvious that the hostess Juliana has returned.

But she is still avoiding Melen, so Melen has not seen her at all.

Of course, with the authority of the heir, he can actually see him if he wants.

But Mellen discovered that Juliana was not actually angry at the moment.

In other words, she was quite angry at the time, but after one night, she no longer looked angry.

Instead, he seemed to be struggling with something.

Confused about how to explain that she still maintains her perfect body?

Melen felt that this was not possible. After all, Juliana originally wanted to give him this kind of thing as a birthday gift, and it was impossible for him to think of how to explain it.

But it's not this. What is she struggling with?

It seemed that as long as he went to her and asked, he would get the answer.

However, in fact, Meren had sought her out several times in private. As a result, every time he saw someone, he would instantly activate his transformation spell and turn into a white eagle with fluffy feathers. He would turn his head and look like he refused to communicate. .

I don’t know if he is pretending to be angry, or if he is wary of Melen doing something bad.

In short, his mood is very strange and his style is very sneaky.

So Mellen could only wait and wait for her to calm down from this inexplicable emotion before trying to communicate again. Now I used my authority to observe and found that Juliana was concentrating on writing a seed investigation report in the laboratory. She didn't encounter any trouble. She was humming a little tune and seemed quite happy.

Don't know why.

Melen therefore retracted his gaze and looked at the potion in front of him that was used to channel spirits into another world.

"Just go ahead and have fun. If you continue like this, I will attack you at night if I find an opportunity."

He muttered as his third hand reached into the potion, and the surrounding environment changed instantly.

…

On the other side, Mellen's previous report through the Book of Secrets has become the focus of discussion on some existential conference tables.

"What the Felix family encountered recently in Fort St. Grant is somewhat abnormal."

The conference room was in a brightly lit library. There were five people in white hooded cloaks sitting around a round table.

One of the brown-haired young men said: "The time when Prescott disappeared was relatively close to the Felix family. It's hard to say whether there might be some secret connection."

The brown-haired young man looks very young, and there is even some green stubble on his lips, but his voice is a bit old, as if there is an old man hidden in the young shell, and the whole person looks extremely weird.

After he finished speaking, a gray-haired old woman in the secret room who was leaning on a cane said, "But it could also be because of other things."

"Something else?"

"There have been too many things happening in St. Grant's Fort recently, and many people outside have been attracted."

"Aren't they all surrounding the demonic tide?"

The brown-haired young man pointed directly to the core: "That thing is the key, but it also disappeared with Prescott."

"yes."

One of the white cloaks sighed with a shameful expression, "I really failed enough."

The others glanced at this man and said nothing.

A few seemingly ordinary people are actually the Holy Spirit walking in the world.

They were originally distributed near Fort Grant. Each one was responsible for an area and had their own things to be busy with.

However, the disappearance of Prescott, the gatekeeper in Fort St. Grant, forced them to get together.

Gatekeeper Prescott is not completely missing, only his clone named Jonah is missing.

However, this clone is different from other clones. He is Prescott's main personality and cannot be discarded casually.

Without him, the power that Prescott can use now can even be said to have been reduced by more than half.

So Prescott had to turn to his kin.

The disappearance of the clone Jonah was due to being caught off guard by a sneak attack by the demon king. He was imprisoned by the demon king before he could even send any message.

Afterwards, the Demon King obtained one of the three items related to the Demonic Tide Seal, but was also accidentally imprisoned for underestimating the heir. He still maintains the appearance of a stone and is stilling.

So Jonah was never released.

All this happened very repeatedly, and of course no one else knew the specific situation except those around Mellen.

Therefore, the previous investigation direction of this group of Holy Spirits was obviously skewed.

They were supposed to be investigating Jonah's disappearance, but instead they unknowingly discovered that someone in the Northern Empire was plotting to assassinate the Emperor.

Although this matter is actually very important and involves changes in the world situation, it obviously has nothing to do with Jonah.

So the Holy Spirits had to refocus their attention on the Saint Grant Castle.

However, because of the distress signal on his body, Melen was very cautious about contacting these strange beings, and of course he would not take the initiative to tell them about the imprisoned Demon King.

Moreover, this Demon King seemed to have some connection with the Holy Spirit Christine. Before the other party spoke, Melen did not intend to hand it over to other Holy Spirits.

Based on this point, the investigation of Jonah's disappearance was deadlocked.

Until now, Melen sent them new clues.

"Our goal is to find Prescott. It's best not to interfere in other matters, so as not to be discovered or even used by those with ulterior motives."

"You mean the heir sent this message to use us?"

"With the judge in charge, he certainly won't have such a crooked mind, but the two people he mentioned are not necessarily the same. Who can ensure that they are not intentionally exposed?"

"That's true."

"But Prescott's matter must be investigated..."

...

They want to find the missing Jonah, not just to save their companions.

The more important reason is that, along with Jonah, there is also the key item involved in the seal of the magic tide, and one of their tasks is to protect this item.

However, the disappearance of this item did not leave any clues.

They can only put their hopes on the missing companion, hoping to get a breakthrough from him and then save the situation.

Therefore, although it cannot be proved that this clue has any connection with Jonah, it is better to have a clue than to sit here and do nothing.

So although they are wary of being used, after discussing with the Holy Spirits, they still decided to take action on this point.

They were all old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, and they didn't think they would be used without resistance.

Unless there was something important involved...

In this way, under the calm surface of Saint Grant Castle, a dangerous vortex had already formed, and the three forces were entangled with each other, which was bound to cause some waves.

However, as the initiator of all this, Melen had already put this matter behind him at this time.

After entering the other world through spiritual communication, he appeared again in the remote house "birth point" at the beginning, and then prepared to go to the town square to find the skeleton in order to meditate and meet the two female savages.

As a result, when he arrived at the periphery of the square, he found that the originally empty situation here had changed.

"What's going on?"

Standing in the shadow of a building on the edge, watching the large number of figures appearing in the square, Melen couldn't help but be surprised.

He had come in several times, and except for encountering some strange monsters at the beginning, he didn't see any signs of other life here.

But now, he actually met a group of people?

Listening carefully, Melen could even find that these people gathered in groups of three or four were whispering about something.

Their words and actions were no different from those of ordinary people.

When some of them saw Melen, they even looked at him curiously.

They seemed to be wondering where this stranger came from?
