"We have a traitor. Otherwise, why are we always passive on our side? Every step of the kingdom of mages has been seen through."
"You mean that there are spies from other countries among the truth-level mages? Who would they be?"
"It's definitely the black-eyed one. You don't see him and you cover it up even in meetings, and you don't even dare to show your face."
"... Others have been like this for more than a hundred years, so it's strange to come to you."
"That's even weirder. Under what circumstances, he has to cover his face for so many years. Maybe the blindfold he covers is not a normal person, and he may not be a human at all..."
This is my logic. Although it is obviously deliberately messing around, it can’t be said that it makes no sense at all, but Aunt Amala obviously doesn’t agree with it. Margaret, who is in the seat, hangs up and reads with peace of mind, while Adam steals the book. laugh.
After that meeting, the situation in the cloud tower has changed. Several organizations such as the Blade of Austrian tend to take the initiative to participate in this increasingly chaotic matter. After the meeting, they naturally formed small groups with different political affairs. , we invited Amara to consult.
But it seems that she doesn't agree with my judgment, looking at me is like looking at a liar and a ruffian, then... that's right!
Originally, I didn't have any evidence, and the investigation was all bluffing. Whether it was a spy or not was just casual talk.
I just want to find a reason to trouble that black eye. If he is not a spy, I will apologize and say "I'm sorry to make a mistake, but we still have something to trouble you".
Although it seems that I am chatting with Amala seemingly out of bounds, in a sense, I expect the other party's acquiescence. Anyway, the other party can't help in this kind of thing, and according to my plan, we What to do is very simple, just try to stumble on the black eye when the second brother Sandro is doing "big things", then, it is enough to have the help of Adam and Margaret.
Of course, it would be better if the black eye could be taken down, but it is too difficult to say that it is not a good thing to kill a resident member of the truth council just after joining here. Too aggressive outsiders can easily cause other People's vigilance and precautions can become a public enemy if they are not careful, but it is really fun.
When it comes to the implementation plan, it is more straightforward, just plug the black eyes first, and then accuse the other party of being a spy, while attacking the other party in public, angering the other party, and holding the other party for as long as possible.
What if he really is a spy? Hehe, just talk about it, how is it possible, I'm not talking about some efficacious magic stick, and casually referring to an object who looks unhappy is a spy.
"How do you know that I am from the Tucker Republic!!"
The sudden attack paid off. The well-prepared Nitromagic acid not only melted the magic protection of the black eye, but also dissolved the opponent's headgear. Under the suddenly torn headgear, only the familiar skull was left, in which the soul of the jumping soul remained. Fire is a description that does not need words, this is a top lich!
As for me, I just retracted the index finger I pointed out, and tried my best to keep my face calm.
Just now, "There is only one truth, you are a spy!" It was so handsome that Black Eyes thought that I had caught the other party's handle, and then tore his face all at once.
"...How do you know that I'm a spy! I shouldn't have any flaws! My fake identity is perfect, and I also simulate daily eating and physiological needs!"
"No laughing! Absolutely no laughing!"
I'm trying to pretend to be serious, but the goal in my heart is to hold back my laughter. If I didn't laugh, everyone would know that I bumped into it by mistake.
The old lich with a face full of surprise and disbelief still doesn't know what leaked his secrets. The background behind it is Adam who has lost his sword in amazement. This girl knew from the beginning that I was bullshitting. Obligatory hitman.
"You have the right to remain silent. If you refuse, everything you say may be used as adverse evidence against you!"
Well, since we're lucky, let's get on with the game, now that the detective is done with his lines, it's time for the cops.
But judging from the negative energy storm flickering behind the "black eye", it is obvious that the other party has no leisure to play with me slowly, so let's go directly to the trial.
"Mantra: Silence!"
The sound of the entire space was swept away. For a mage of the black-eyed level, it would take effect even if the magic had never been seen before. It probably only lasted for a moment, but for us, it was enough.
The appearance of the strange vacuum period made the black eyes dazzled for a moment. This is a good opportunity to fight. How could Adam, who has experienced many battles, miss such a good opportunity.
After changing the thunder and lightning attributes, his overall strength decreased, but the speed item increased several times, and a lich was approached by a demigod warrior, and there were sages and sage mentors behind him, and there were mischief professionals like me. Play with soy sauce, and the result is clear at a glance.
After dozens of seconds, the bones were broken, and the black eye fell faster than everyone expected.
"Ha, the death penalty, the death penalty."
And when the just-concluded truth seminar was urgently summoned again, the angry archmages angrily denounced this shameful traitor, and I was also very happy to learn that Sandro's treason plan was in the absence of the conspiratorial superior. On the premise of success, the second senior brother successfully became the acting president of the Sword of Order and became the head of the family.
"Fake?"
"Well, a fake. But it's not an ordinary fake. Although it's an academic-born mage, it's also a real epic. It's not so much that he's not black-eyed, it's better that he doesn't have a black-eyed person at all."
The interrogation came to a result very quickly. There are too many ways for the mage to let people reveal their secrets. Even if the guy is already dead, he still can't hide the secrets of his soul. Instead, he participated in the meeting instead. Margaret also conveyed the information she had just obtained.
After I forced my way into the Council of Truth, my identity seemed to be washed a bit, and even Amara seemed to have more trust in Margaret.
"The black eye is not an individual, but an identity. It is an identity used by the undead of the republic to cover up their activities in this country. Many of them are amazing, and naturally there are enough papers and research results to make this name. The reputation is growing, and the black eye we catch is even just a stand-in."
"Heh, let an epic-level lich serve as a stand-in? It's really a big deal... Wait, the only possibility that an existence of this level can be a subordinate is a higher-level undead, which means that there is only one possibility!"
"Well, that's the possibility, that black-eyed one is still your acquaintance."
"Esso! Only the Great Undead can make such a ruthless character obediently serve as a stand-in. Does that mean he spent a long time here? Maybe the black-eyed mentor we met back then was the Esso himself!"
"The main member of the Truth Research Association, the leader of the Sword of Order, the most powerful mage organization in the cloud tower, is actually his own enemy, that is, all the previous plans are in the eyes of the opponent, this is completely against the wise and proud mage Naked slap in the face, you really should go to a meeting, when the news spread, the archmages were so angry. Instructor Amara also joked that 'the undead emperors on the main plane actually took the initiative to study and participated in our seminars, It is perhaps our pleasure to have worked with us for so long."
Speaking of this, it seemed that she remembered how the mages were furious at that time, and Margaret laughed herself.
"She's right, isn't she? One of the former undead emperors? How does it feel to see your senior? Maybe he went to school here like you back then."
As for Margaret's words, I only intend to nod my head in agreement. This is not difficult to understand. Why can't the undead enter the academy to study
From another point of view, if I am still an undead who can choose where to hide, as long as I don’t worry about revealing my identity, it is obviously the best environment to hide in the kingdom of mages. I can not only do my own research with peace of mind, but also communicate with other mages. , and even get some "enemy" intelligence.
"Is there any new information? It's rare to catch such a high-level tongue."
"By the way, the Truth Seminar asked me to convey my thanks to you, 'As expected of that Roland, who was able to find the mole buried so deeply', did you really get the information to make the judgment? It's Esso's Is there any information involved in the bequest?"
"... Do you think Esso would do such a stupid thing?"
"Then, I'll say, you can guess."
Hearing this, Margaret also nodded affirmatively, and then threw me a dilapidated notebook with some logs recorded in the language of the dead. I flipped to the last few pages, and I almost knew why the council was so upset. , and they would actually think I found it, not by mistake.
"... The information has been sent to His Majesty Esso. These stupid old guys thought this was their world, but they didn't know that we were ready. The day that our clan looked forward to is not far away, and the end of the living is coming. …”
"... That idiot Andrew actually started to cooperate with other vice presidents, they were checking my bottom! Damn, could it be that the constant leaks of information made them really suspect me... "
"... I saw that man today... Yong Ye, worthy of being a former undead emperor, worthy of being a powerful man who defeated Emperor Esso, just passing each other's eyes, but the eyes were full of hostility and defensiveness, did he find out? what..."
"...The Shadow Guard brought me news. Andrew and that Roland met privately. It seems that the day when I was exposed is not far away. I have to pass on the new information as soon as possible..."
Well, in a sense, this guy deserves to be unlucky to bring this kind of thing with him.
"what."
Suddenly, I stopped when I was facing the number of pages. There was actually a mark under each page of the notebook. If others seemed to think it was an inexplicable number, but I, who got Esso's inheritance, knew that, then Is it a series of code words, or Esso's personal password.
"Fa... Shita... at... 376 Ebo... Street? What is this? Esso's personal laboratory."
