"Susan, I guess you probably have a tragic past. If you are willing, please share it with us, okay." Bailey suddenly spoke: "Although I hate Ryan a little, I also envy him in my heart. I envy him that he can take risks freely, I envy him that he has a good friend who will never leave him, Alando, and I also envy him that he can win Farasi's love... "
Bailey said this, sighed, and continued: "My status used to make me arrogant, but now that I have reached this point, I understand what a good friend means to me. Maybe you doubted me before. motives, but I can tell you that when I travel with you, I do regard you as my friends. We are all dark creatures that cannot see the light. In a sense, just this point is enough to make We rely on each other..."
Bailey didn't finish what he said, but Susan and Maia already understood what he meant. The two of them finally understood why Bailey never concealed his past, and even tried his best to do many things even though he was not very willing. Accommodate yourself, such as the plan Susan proposed to kidnap Vivian,
Susan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "Well, in that case, I will tell you that when I was very young, I was selected by the Soul Eaters and began to receive their training. All this time, I have I thought I would die in the endless killing because my talent was really poor. But when I saw that man for the first time, my fate began to turn... "
"In this way, I became Raphael's mistress until a few years ago..." Susan slowly told the story of how she faced Ryan and Alando in Seike City, and how she was later betrayed by Raphael and suffered a lot. All the past events of being tortured and finally turning into a dead soul were told.
"Because my soul has been imprinted with magic, I can only follow Raphael's arrangements. But I didn't expect that when I was in Seawind City, I met Ryan again..." Susan's tone began to tremble, Obviously she feels very scared now: "You don't understand how terrifying that magician is. As a revenant, my material and invisible body was forcibly trapped by him with magic, and then was completely burned by the raging flames. If I hadn't been lucky enough to wait until a passing mercenary devoured his soul, I would no longer exist in this world."
"Haha, others can only die once, but I actually died twice because of that little magician." Susan's tone gradually became colder: "Of course I hope for revenge, but at that time I had no power at all. , I could only hide and slowly devour the souls of living people to regain strength, but I met this guy who was seriously injured, and ended up looking like this."
Bailey listened carefully to Susan's statement, and then asked her a few more questions. Since Susan had told her past events, of course she would not hide anything about this matter. She detailed He answered Bailey's question thoroughly, and even did not shy away from many things involving his own privacy.
After listening to Susan's explanation, Bailey closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and said something that shocked both Susan and Maia: "Humph, if I guessed correctly, that Raphael should be Senat’s subordinate, and the entire Soul Eater should be Senat’s dark power.”
Seeing the shock on Maia's face, Bailey was not surprised. After all, he knew that neither Maia nor Susan had ever had access to higher-level opportunities before. Unlike him, who was of noble birth and had enough time to I understand the thoughts of those in power, but Bailey was quite arrogant at that time and didn't take it to heart.
"You mean, Soul Eater, Raphael, is a dog of that Lord Senat." Sophie said slowly,
"This is already obvious. You must also be very aware of the speed at which the killer organization makes money. This will allow Senat, who has always had a good reputation, not to worry about his own financial resources. This is also a means for him to fight against the imperial tax system." Bailey even Without having to think about it, one can sum up the various methods Senat used back then: "If it were you, a family that has ruled Seike City for hundreds of years, you would let a terrifying and powerful killer organization do whatever it wants in your home base. If it were you, Soul Eater is in the hands of other forces, so as long as one assassination is planned, the entire forces in Seike City can change their masters overnight."
"Also, this time the Southern Freedom Alliance joined forces to attack Cassano. Moon Moon City sent out a legendary mage and a sword master, and Free Paradise naturally sent money and caravan insiders. Otherwise, how could so many masters sneak in secretly? Yes, as for Sike City, headed by the Freedom Alliance, they didn’t use any strength. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
"If Soul Eater is Senat's subordinate, this is easy to explain. It is even possible that even the blood and shadow are related to Senat. They are either directly ruled by Senat, or they are the objects of Senat's secret support. Well, The blood relationship with him is probably just money. After all, the blood clan is so noble that they should not be reduced to taking orders from others."
"But in this case, that shadow is probably one of Senat's dark forces. Otherwise, the Free Alliance will never carry out the night attack on Cassano when the main members contribute unevenly. Wouldn't it be a clear waste of allies? The power of Competing without losing, General Orlando's victory was probably because Senat was too arrogant, just like I was..."
When Bailey's calm analysis came to the end, his voice gradually decreased until it slowly disappeared. Bailey was not like this back then. This was probably because they were born in the aristocracy and had countless privileges since childhood. The common shortcoming is that they are too arrogant and conceited.
"So that's it..." There was a trace of bitterness in Susan's tone. It's not that she had never thought about seeking revenge from Raphael, but she had always been afraid of facing the guy she loved and hated so much again. Now she understood that she was not only She has to deal with the newly emerged overlord of Cassano on the continent, the youngest magister Ryan, and also has to deal with the leader of the Freedom Alliance and the power of the entire Senat family. This will of course make her feel that revenge is hopeless.
Susan's experience has many similarities with Bailey's, and the two of them are naturally easy to resonate with each other. But for Maia, who was born in poverty, Bailey's words just aroused resentment in his heart, which reminded Maia of himself. Before joining Catherine's goddess team, he said to Bailey in a mocking tone: "Ah ha, it's exactly the same. How can you people who have lived in superiority since you were young understand the rotten... What would it be like to fight with wild dogs in the garbage dump to eat the food that is not too rotten."
