You call this a black hand?

Mellen thought Alyssa seemed a little strange.

He obviously sent a warning that looked very formal, but when he asked carefully, he hesitated and refused to say anything.

It was as if there was something that was hard to talk about.

I asked for a long time, but never got a real response.

Mellen was quite speechless about this, but he could only give up temporarily and thought about questioning him again after the next meeting.

Then he started to read the messages sent by other people.

"Don't forget what I said before."

Mrs. Chelsea only sent one sentence, and she seemed not to be surprised by the power displayed by the previous heir.

But considering that this person was resting in the secret room, Meren felt that she might not have seen anything.

As for the Madam's words, she naturally refers to pretending to be weak, so as not to arouse fear due to the heir's power being too wanton.

"I'll pretend to be comatose and go out early tomorrow morning."

Mellen responded.

"Yinsabella Chelsea is actually your teacher?"

Holy Spirit Jonah also seemed not surprised by everything before, but he seemed very surprised by this incident.

Considering the existence of the leader of the Scarlet Cross who expected to surrender, Mellen did not ask him where he learned the news, and of course he did not respond.

And when he saw the message from the leader, he was even more speechless.

"What a shocking scene. Although I have heard about it for a long time, I never thought that you, who is still just the heir, can do this."

"As far as I know, not all heirs can display that kind of power."

"This flattery is really embarrassing."

Murmuring like this, Meren ignored the prisoner.

I looked at the messages sent by other "friends" and found that they were basically related to the heir issue.

Either asking in surprise, or wanting to confirm the truth with hesitation.

Martin, a round-faced man who also came from Graham City, claimed that all the students currently taking refuge are talking about this matter, but many of them are skeptical about it.

This is normal. The freshmen who have not yet formally entered school suddenly transform into the heroes who protect Fort St. Grant.

It would be fine if this kind of thing had been prepared in advance, but in the eyes of outsiders, it appeared extremely unexpected.

So even though many people saw Mellen's face appearing in the sky, whether it was him or not has become a focus of debate.

"Of course, there are many people talking on your side. Some people even come to us to ask if you have a fiancée. I have observed carefully that these people basically come from big families and are better informed."

"Kevin said that this is because they have seen something from the attitude of the school's senior management, so not only are they not afraid of admitting the wrong person, they also believe that you will definitely become a big shot worth winning over in the future."

Once a powerful character appears in the wizarding world, whether he is engaged or not will definitely be the focus of discussion.

Because wizard families are accustomed to using marriage to turn others into their own.

And the fact that they could make such a decision not long after the incident happened without conducting in-depth investigation is enough to prove that Mellen at this time has become a hot commodity.

It's like catching a son-in-law under the banner.

However, faced with this situation, Melen has nothing to be proud of. After all, this kind of treatment comes from his status as the heir of Fort St. Grant, not his own strength.

To say that it is powerful, it is only because of the people who built St. Grant's Fort. It has nothing to do with Meren, a picker of leaks.

However, feeling that his "Egg Wilson" vest was in a state of evolution due to the incident and the spread of the news, he did not belittle himself.

"The mysterious knight has become very powerful after his birth. Where is the guardian of St. Grant's Castle?"

…

What happened at St. Grant's Castle was destined to cause a sensation in the entire wizarding world. Big figures from all walks of life obtained a lot of information and inside information in advance before it was published in the newspapers.

But not everyone's attention was attracted by this matter.

Granny Caesar, deputy commander of the Crusaders of the Church of the Night, the most trusted friend of Pope Chris VI, a top hunter, known as the Hand of God.

He is not a wizard, but his network of connections extends throughout the wizarding world.

Normally, everything that happened at St. Grant's Castle would definitely attract his attention, because Caesar's famous battle came from the Pirate King William's breach of the Tower of the Abyss, and there were even many nasty things between the two sides.

And now, the pirate leader has taken action again.

It's just a pity that he has no time to care about it at the moment.

Caesar, who was covered in special bandages, was lying in a quiet bedroom at the moment. Beside him was a chubby brown-haired girl who was constantly wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. She was busy and her face was full of panic.

But this behavior is doomed to be in vain.

Sweat had soaked a pile of handkerchiefs, and the water stains even filled the entire washbasin. However, the moisture in Caesar's body seemed to be endless, constantly leaking out, and no matter how hard he wiped, it could not be wiped away.

At this time, there was another person standing next to the bed.

He was dressed in neat white gentleman's clothing, with two soft mustaches on his lips, his eyes fixed on Caesar's forehead, and his expression was very serious.

It was Guderian, the truth believer.

Not long ago, Guderian was ordered to find Caesar, a key figure involved in the second sacrifice, but found that Caesar was on the verge of running out of oil.

There are a lot of curses on his body that corrode his limited life, and he will die suddenly at any time.

Fortunately, the old bishop who sent Guderian had anticipated this situation in advance.

So Guderian, who carried many special potions and healing items, successfully suppressed most of Caesar's injuries.

Unfortunately, although the others have temporarily lost their influence, the only remaining "withering curse" is like a gangrene attached to the bones. No matter what means he uses, it is difficult to completely eradicate it.

"With such a powerful curse, who did you provoke?"

So he couldn't help but ask.

"I, after I die, help, help take care of her."

Caesar, who was lying on the bed, did not answer the question. Instead, he struggled to say, "Please, please!"

Of course she was referring to the fat girl busying herself beside the bed.

After looking at the other party, Guderian found it difficult to understand why the girl in front of him, who had an ordinary appearance and could even be said to be inconsistent with ordinary people's aesthetics, could win Caesar's favor and could not be relieved even to the point of death.

But he had no intention of gossiping, so he said: "You know, only the living Caesar will be valuable to us. If you really can't survive, she will have no choice but to ask for happiness."

"She, she is pregnant..."

Caesar was so weak that his words were very "childish".

"Please!"

Guderian sighed at this.

A great man who had great glory in the past seemed so powerless and weak in the face of death, which inexplicably made him feel as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.

So facing the other party's pleading and even pleading gaze, he hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

The fat girl on the side burst into tears when she saw this, but the patient lying on the bed twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled happily.

Guderian, who instantly became an outsider, stood up silently and chose to leave the bedroom.

After arriving in the living room outside, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Obviously, this mission has failed.

After all, Caesar has already settled his funeral arrangements, so how can he still have any chance of survival?

He came a step too late after all.

"It seems like we have to make other plans for the second sacrifice."

He thought to himself, feeling a little headache.

The truth believers favored Caesar not because of his ability as a top hunter, but because of his status as deputy commander of the Holy Army and his trust in the Pope.

But if Caesar is gone, where will they find someone who meets the requirements and can be attracted by them?

"Ask him to recite the third prayer of destiny silently before he dies."

With the last glimmer of hope, I contacted Bishop Luca, but the other person responded with this sentence.

"If he is lucky enough, he will be favored by the child of destiny."

The third prayer…

Guderian looked strange because of this.

The third prayer, also known as the death prayer, is a prayer that truth believers generally recite silently before dying. It is said that in this way, they can receive the inspiration of fate more clearly. If they are lucky, they can even ask for mercy and then return to life.

.

"Eternal God Emperor"

It's just that for thousands of years, the Son of Destiny has never come to the world, so of course this prayer has never taken effect.

In recent days, after the first sacrifice, there have been different signs, but the situation of being pitied has never appeared.

This is true for all our own people, so how can an outsider be favored?

Unless the fates of both parties have intersected, the child of destiny knows Caesar and even admires Caesar.

But how is this possible?
