You call this a black hand?

Mellen didn't know what the woman he imprisoned was thinking. Due to the lack of communication, he certainly wouldn't believe that the other party was telling the truth about her willingness to die. He even suspected that this was a person who retreated in order to advance.

What about deceitful words?

A person's first impression is really important. From Mellen's point of view, no matter what the nun is up to, subconsciously she will think bad things about her.

But no matter what, the issue of studying the prayers has been handed over to the other party for the time being. I am not sure what will be gained, but the first step has been taken.

On the other hand, there is no solution for the scorching energy within the domain sphere for the time being.

After collecting some information from everywhere to prepare for the creation of the "Lord God Space", Meren decided to wait until there was progress on the prayer matter before thinking about it again.

So next, he planned to return to Base No. 2, continue to channel spirits into another world, and study the problem of the skeleton.

However, some unusual phenomena in St. Grant's Fort temporarily attracted his attention.

The unusual situation comes from two people.

Two sneaky people were observing the movements of a group of people in the dark.

Because a lot of things have happened recently, Mellen often transforms into an Egg vest to search for "security risks" in Fort St. Grant. He also frequently uses his golden finger to observe whether the fate of some important personnel in the school has changed.

So now he can say that he knows who is in the school and what they are doing. He also has a general idea of ​​who comes in and out every day.

However, these two people are not within this range.

This alone can't really explain anything. After all, this school is too big for him to take care of everything, and since he doesn't keep a close eye on it all the time, there are bound to be omissions.

But if you consider that the current targets of observation by these two people are Gray Felix and other members of the Felix family, it becomes 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 supervisory function. I always suspect that if we do this, our whereabouts may be discovered."

Through the permission, Mellen could not only see the two people whispering in the shadow of the wall, but also hear their conversation.

"As long as the abnormality is not too obvious, there will be no problem."

Another person said: "Your Excellency 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, and it cannot be used by him anytime and anywhere."

"But Gray came here to investigate his son's matter. There is no way he can hide it from the heir."

The first voice said worriedly: "Maybe he will be interested in the whereabouts of people like Gray, and then discover us by the way while observing?"

"It's okay if you find out."

The second person continued: "Although the hiding method entrusted to us by Your Excellency cannot be hidden from the heir, it is enough to conceal our own names. As long as we change our names every time we come here, it is impossible for him to know who we are."

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

The first person did not continue the topic, but sighed and said: "With this heir here, we are afraid of doing anything. It is really frustrating."

"Don't worry. Since you dare to take action, you must be confident that you can get rid of him."

The voice answered firmly.

The first person was curious.

"Your Excellency seems to know the heir's abilities very well?"

"Can you not understand?"

The second person whispered: "Your Excellency, you were actually an heir hundreds of years ago, and you basically know exactly what you can do with this status."

"Is there anything else?"

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

"But not many people know about this, so don't go out..."

It was obviously boring to stay motionless in the shadows and monitor. The conversation between the two seemed to be filled with magical energy, which was enough to prevent others from hearing any movement.

However, after the Egg Vest was upgraded, Meren had discovered that this vest not only made it easier to use the heir's authority, but also increased the ability of the heir in all aspects.

It was because of this increase that he successfully imprisoned the demon king who broke in.

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

It's a pity that although the two people were carelessly communicating some secrets, because they overheard them in the middle of the conversation, Meren actually couldn't figure out who they were and what bad things they were planning to do.

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

"During the ocean adventure in a few days?"

Mellen thought of this possibility in an instant, because it was the only perfect opportunity for his assassination to leave Fort St. Grant in the near future.

He had even been mentally prepared for this, and felt that there would not be only one group of people who would jump out.

Therefore, Mellen was not surprised by this incident. His attention was mainly focused on the origins and purposes of these two people.

"The reason for causing trouble for Kevin is to attract his father Gray. What's the reason for spying on Gray now? To divert trouble? To kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

After all the effort to lure Gray here, it's not just a matter of simply wanting to kill him.

This sudden discovery made Mellen thoughtful.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't 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 people and just watching from the sidelines.

Mellen then returned to Base 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?

Mellen felt that this could not be the case. After all, Juliana originally wanted to give him this kind of thing as a birthday gift, and there was no way she had thought of how to explain it.

But if it's not this, what is she struggling with?

It seems that as long as I go to her and ask, I can get the answer.

However, in fact, Meren had sought her out several times in private. As a result, every time he saw someone, he instantly activated his transformation spell and turned into a white eagle with fluffy feathers. He turned his head away and seemed to refuse to communicate.

.

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

All in all, 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 either.

Meren 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 hand, 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 is in a brightly lit library. There are five people wearing white hoods and 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 shame, "I really failed enough."

The others glanced at this person and said nothing.

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

They were originally distributed near Fort Grant, and 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 fellow tribesmen for help.

The disappearance of the clone Jonah was due to the fact that he was caught off guard by a sneak attack by the demon king, and was imprisoned by the demon king before he even had time to send out the slightest 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 these 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 St. Grant's Castle.

However, because of the distress signal on his body, Melen was very cautious about contacting these strange beings. Of course, it was impossible to take the initiative to tell them about the imprisoned Demon King.

Moreover, this demon king seems to have some connection with the Holy Spirit Christine. Mellen does not plan to hand it over to other Holy Spirits before the other party speaks.

Based on this, the investigation into Jonah's disappearance has reached a deadlock.

Until now, Mellen sent them new clues.

"Our goal is to find Prescott. It is best not to interfere in other matters to avoid being discovered or even used by interested people."

"Are you saying that the heir sent this message to take advantage of us?"

"With the chief judge in charge of him, of course he won't have such evil thoughts, but the same cannot be said for the two people he mentioned. Who can ensure whether they were intentionally exposed?"

"That's true."

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

…

They want to find the missing Jonah, but it's not just about saving their companions.

The more important reason is actually that the key item involved in the Demonic Tide Seal was missing together with Jonah, and one of their tasks is to protect this item.

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

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

Therefore, although it is not yet proven that this clue is related to Jonah, having clues is better than just sitting here.

So even though they were wary of whether they would be exploited, after some discussion, several Holy Spirits decided to take action on this point.

They are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, and they don't think they will be used without any resistance.

Unless something important is involved...

In this way, under the calm surface of Fort St. Grant, a dangerous whirlpool has been vaguely taking shape. The three parties are entangled with each other and are destined to cause some waves.

However, as the instigator of all this, Mellen had already put the matter behind him.

After channeling into another world, he reappeared at the original "birth point" of the remote house, and then prepared to go to the town square to find the skeleton so that he could meditate and meet the two female savages.

As a result, when we arrived at the outskirts of the square, we found that the originally empty situation had changed.

"what happened?"

Standing in the shadow of a building on the edge, Mellen couldn't help but be surprised as he stared at the large number of people appearing in the square.

He has come in several times, and apart from encountering some strange monsters at the beginning, he has not seen any signs of other life here.

But now, I actually met a group of people?

Listening carefully, Mellen could even find that these people gathered in twos and threes were discussing something in low voices.

His words and deeds are no different from ordinary people.

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

As if wondering, where did this foreigner come from?
