Chapter 130: Have You Been Tricked? Deserve It!

[You are targeted by Jack Kim Adros’ murderous intent. Comment: What would you think if I said that he only showed a tiny hint of murderous intention towards you? Reward: +30 survival points. 】

Killing Intention Lock rewards 30 survival points...

Just a trace?

This is probably the most powerful extraordinary person that Wei En has seen so far, and who showed murderous intent towards him!

However, why did Black Jack pretend to be Old Jack and go to the Secret Mixing Department?

Shouldn't he be over in Basil's Quarter?

Wayne glanced around calmly, his eyes not stopping on anyone, but the expressions of everyone in the office were clearly imprinted in his mind.

Lacey with a serious expression, Marco with anger, Carly with confusion, Tina who is still calm, and old Jack with a faint smile on his lips...

I remember what Claire said - when Black Jack goes to Custer City, in addition to the forbidden object, he also needs to find someone else. Is that person in the Secret Adjustment Department?

who is it?

boom!

At this time, Marco smashed the table again and said angrily: "So now, why don't you stop them? Just watch them destroy the peace of the city..."

"enough!"

Lacey shouted low, clenching his hands and glaring at him, "Now the entire city-state is preaching about the incompetence of the Parliament. Don't you still know who they are?"

"It's the nobles! It's the family behind you, it's Ernst, it's Seres... Their purpose is to force Samir to step down as consul!"

"I know all this, but," Marco gritted his teeth: "As long as the Secret Service is involved, the Parliament can definitely compete with the Noble Committee..."

"Then what? Go over and clean up Samir's mess?"

"Mess?" Marco's angry face showed a hint of astonishment, "Wha, what do you mean?"

Lacey sighed, "You really don't know anything... But that's right. You are often nostalgic for the city that never sleeps. How could you notice this?"

"Do you know why Lydia didn't go back to the Secret Adjustment Department? Because she's not as stupid as you!"

"Tell me clearly, what's going on?!"

Marco's face was ugly. He didn't want to hear Lidia's name, let alone the words Nascimento family. He felt a ridiculous feeling of being betrayed.

A little doubt also flashed across Wei En's face. Is there another reason why the secret coordinator chose to watch?

Does this mean that the senior officials are not on Samir’s side?

"Lacey, it's time to let them know the truth," Old Jack said, seemingly pointing out: "It's not good to fight with your heart on your mind."

Um?

the truth?

You, a newcomer to the city of Custer, know the truth about these things. Why don’t I believe it?

But thinking about it, Wei En immediately nodded in agreement, "Captain, I also want to know."

After saying that, he did not forget to show a big smile to 'Old Jack'.

Well, if you want to laugh,

It must also be a very bright smile...

"Me too," Carly said as well.

I'm afraid that among everyone here, except Tina, who was indifferent to everything, she was the only one who was confused.

Wasn't Consul Samir appointed by the Klanders?

Why do Custer's nobles want him to step down?

"So, what exactly is Si Li's plan?"

Looking at everyone's gaze, Lacey leaned on the high-backed chair, shook his head and said, "Actually, Si Li has already anticipated what happened this time, much earlier than you imagined."

"morning?"

"Ever since Director Alais took office, he had anticipated that such a day would come."

"Taking office..." Marco thought, "Seventeen years ago?"

"Well, it was after that." Lacey looked at Old Jack, "I believe you know better. After that, Si Li has been investigating the people behind the scenes."

Old Jack took another sip of wine and sighed, "I know."

Wei En glanced at him and continued, I want to know what you always know?

"What does that have to do with now?" Marco asked with a frown.

"Well," Lacey nodded, "Ever since the Investigation Department was reorganized, we have been investigating those people. In the end, all the clues point to one person, no, to a group of people."

"who is it?"

"The Ernst family!"

"them……"

Marco had no doubts. He knew clearly that in the entire Custer City-state, there were not many people who could cause the demonic clown to get out of control, but the Ernst family could definitely do it!

"Purpose... Archon?"

"It's the position of consul!" Lacey's eyes turned cold, "Do you still remember what rewards the royal family gave to the twenty-four meritorious families?"

"Hereditary title, hereditary fiefdom, world... do they want to take back the city of Custer?"

At this point, Marco reacted.

"This is impossible - the consul was appointed by Chatelain, and they have no right to interfere. Even if it is not Samir, it cannot be the Ernst family!"

"Why not?" Lacey sneered: "You must know that one hundred and twenty years ago, the Custer City State was the fiefdom of the Ernst family."

"But, they made such a big mistake at that time, and it's impossible for Kelland to agree to it."

"So much time has passed, and the sins and mistakes have long been washed away. As long as they make great contributions, the royal family will not refuse a meritorious family like Ernst to return to glory, right?"

"Meritorious service?" Marco was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "How can you have such a big merit now, and it's not during the war?"

"Have it already."

"What?"

"They found the mastermind behind the bard's prophecy!"

Bard's prophecy?

Wei En was startled, as if he had heard of it somewhere...

I remember, it was the time at the Serres Family Manor - I remember Marco said at that time that the Vazquez people perished because a pirate made a prophecy pretending to be a bard.

"The Vazquez one?" Marco also thought about it, "Have they found it? The Chatelain royal family has been offering a reward for so long..."

"What if I say that the prophecy was led by the Ernst family?"

Lacey asked rhetorically, and then, as if asking and answering himself, "Or, more accurately, did they instruct others to deliver that prophecy?"

"They..." Marco's eyes widened, finding it difficult to accept this possibility.

The others had the same reaction, except for Old Jack, who looked like he already knew everything.

After hearing her words, Wei En also secretly praised the Ernst family's operation, which was very smooth.

If his guess was correct, they concocted this prophecy at that time, and they wanted to achieve meritorious service through war, right?

Something must have gone wrong later, causing their plan to fail.

"Wait," Carly raised her hand, and then asked apologetically: "I want to ask Ernst, are they not afraid that others will know the truth?"

"That's a good question," Old Jack looked at her approvingly, "The key is that the leader they find can take on all of this."

"That's right," Lacey nodded, "They introduced a scapegoat, no, two!"

"two?"

"Well, one of them is the Seres family, and the other one..." Lacey looked at everyone's reactions and didn't show off, "It's the Black Pearl!"

"Serles family? Black Pearl?"

"Black Pearl?!" Old Jack almost spit out a mouthful of wine and coughed: "Are you sure they want the people on the Black Pearl to take the blame?"

But after seeing the looks of others looking over, he quickly continued: "I mean, they made the Black Pearl the scapegoat, um... very thoughtful."

"It is indeed very thoughtful," Lacey and others had no doubts about Old Jack's words.

Only Wei En knew why he had such a big reaction and secretly pouted.

I thought you knew everything?

Now that you know that you are the one being tricked, are you shocked?

Deserve it!

"I don't understand, how did the Ernst family do it?" Marco thought for a moment and asked: "The Seres family is not a fool and doesn't resist?"

"Marco, you are so..."

Lacey looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, "You Nascimento family are also Custer's nobles. Don't you understand that interests come first?"

"The Serres family is just a new upstart that has emerged in recent years. No matter the status, inheritance, wealth, or glory, it cannot compare with the Ernst family. And how can they enter that circle without paying a little bit?"

"Profits..." Marco did not refute. Compared with other people in the family, he really did not pay attention to the internal affairs of the family.

"I don't know what kind of deal there is between them. But the Seres family has been so miserable recently because old Ernst is behind it."

Carly had understood why the Ernst family did what they did, but she didn't know how they did it.

"Then what happened to the Black Pearl?"

"them?"

Lacey pondered: "According to Yegor, the origin of that pirate is the Black Pearl. In addition, they also appeared in Custer recently, so they were taken advantage of by Ernst."

"Wayne, you should still remember Butler Collins of the Seres family, right? He is on the Black Pearl, which is ironclad evidence of their cooperation."

Wei En nodded cooperatively, "Yeah."

squeak.

"Um?"

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally used too much force..." Old Jack raised the wine bottle that had been crushed out of shape, and gestured: "Keep talking, keep talking."

Wei En was secretly happy. This guy had such a big reaction, he was probably very angry, right?

Now that you know you were tricked by the Ernst family, will you still cooperate with them like this?

However, Wayne didn't take Black Jack's reaction to heart. He was more concerned about the so-called 'circle' that Lacey mentioned.

Does the 'circle' that the Seres family has to squeeze into even at such a high price refer to the Glory Society?

If so, he had to admit that the old Count Ernst, whom he had only seen at the Dawn Celebration, really had two skills...

This is like selling someone. The Seres family still has to help count the money, right?

Tsk tsk, old Saiyam is so pitiful.

Not only have several sons died and the family property has been lost, but now he is also being accused of being a traitor...

"In fact, Director Nifa has confirmed with the Clandestine City-State Secret Service Department, and the Ernst family has reported the matter."

Without waiting for others to ask, Lacey continued: "The content they reported was that the prophecy made twenty years ago was jointly made by the Seres family and the Black Pearl, with the purpose of robbing the Vasquez people of something. treasure."

"treasure?"

"It's a forbidden object, and it's in Custer. As for which one it is, the senior officials didn't say."

Taboo items...

Wayne thought of the few things he had seen before, and then thought about what Claire said last night, referring to the forbidden object 0-78 Rover's left eye?

Damn it,

Is the Ernst family so capable that they have even plotted against the Dawn Church?

At this time, Marco understood, "So, they did this...with the tacit approval of Klande?"

"Well, at least they have some support behind them."

"But I still don't understand, since the senior officials already know the purpose of the Ernst family, why..."

"Why don't you take action?" Lacey interrupted: "Then have you ever thought about why Director Alais chose to sacrifice himself?"

Marco smiled bitterly, "Don't ask me. After listening to what you just said, I have begun to doubt my own knowledge. What on earth was I thinking before..."

This is his truest thought now.

The Ernst family, or Lydia, including his Nascimento family...

He thought he knew their intentions in doing these things before, but now...he just wanted to say that he was really stupid before!

"...It is the result of the compromise of the parliament!"

She was filled with indignation towards Director Alais who had just died.

What was even more difficult for her to accept was that the Parliament would actually agree to the conditions of the Noble Committee and voluntarily give up Alais...

"Wha...Parliament?!"

Obviously, Marco couldn't accept the truth either, "Why did they do that?"

"Hey, it's the order from Consul Samir. The secretary found the secret order in Director Alais' office this morning."

So that’s it!

Wei En suddenly understood, all his doubts were solved, and he probably understood the whole story.

They went around in such a big circle and involved so many people, just to get the fiefdom of Custer City State?

Director Alais, it’s really a pity... huh?

Wait, something is wrong!

He understood the purpose of the Black Pearl and the nobles.

But what happened to the Abyss Sect, the Despair Sect, the Eternal Life Society, and the Red Moon Church? !

Old Jack put down the wine bottle that he had crushed and laughed loudly: "Lacie, it's not like you to look sad at all."

"Crying in mourning?" Lacey shook his head, "I was just thinking, what will Custer City State look like next?"

"Probably a lot of people will die, who knows? Don't think so much, and don't worry about other people. In a word, if you come, kill one, if you come two, kill two!"

However, no one was willing to respond to his words.

After Lacey said this, she leaned back on the chair with a tired look, as if telling the truth of the matter stirred up her calm mood again.

Carly was even more shocked. She didn't understand that pollution and distortion were already terrible, why would there be people like the Ernst family?

In order to achieve your own goals, do you have to put the city-state into crisis?

Marco was much more depressed than before. His previous anger seemed to be a joke, and the truth was far crueler than he imagined.

Perhaps, only Wei En is confused...

Even though he knew so much, there were still many things he didn't understand.

These people are so... so well-intentioned.

Dang, Dang Dang...

The bell of Klims Cathedral rang, and Wei En came back to his senses. Was it already noon?

"Dang, Dang..."

But I don’t know why, the bell has rang twelve times and it’s still ringing?

"Huh? No!"

"problem occurs!"

Lacey, Marco, and Carly stood up at the same time, rushed to the window with solemn expressions and looked in the direction of the cathedral.

Wei En was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What does this bell represent?"

"It's a warning from the Church of Dawn." Old Jack also looked at Krims Cathedral. "It will only sound when there is a major crisis... twenty-four times!"

"Thirty...thirty-six...forty-eight..." Lacey counted silently.

"The highest level, is it a crisis equivalent to a level four disaster!?" Carly exclaimed, clasping her hands together as if praying for something.

Marco said in a daze: "How did it reach the level of a fourth-level disaster? Did the Dawn Church make a mistake?"

Level four disaster? !

Wei En's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but look at the unaware white-haired girl next to him, couldn't he?

At this moment, a cold voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, it is no longer safe here. Please follow me to the cathedral."

"Melbel? What happened?" Carly asked anxiously when she saw the person coming.

"I don't know either." Guardian Knight Melbell stood in mid-air outside the window, bowing slightly and waiting quietly.

"I..." Carly turned to look at the others, very hesitant.

"Go, Carly." Lacey saw her confusion, patted her shoulder and consoled her.

Carly lowered her head and bit her lip. In her heart, she already agreed with Lacey's words.

After a while, she raised her head again and looked at everyone firmly.

"I'm sorry, I'm a candidate for Dawn's Saint. I'm needed over there more than here..."

"Don't worry, we will still work together when this is over." Lacey said with a smile.

Wayne glanced at Melbell, nodded and said: "Sister Carly, please be safe, Uncle Euan is still waiting for you to return safely."

"That's right, Euan!"

Being reminded by him, Carly jumped out suddenly, but Melbell held her hand, "You too, you must pay attention to safety..."

After saying that, she quickly urged: "Melbel, take me to the Golden Street first!"

"As commanded, Your Majesty."

Melbell glanced at them calmly, his eyes seemingly fixed on 'Old Jack' unintentionally, then turned around and took Carly towards the church.

Watching them leave, Lacey's expression became serious, "The situation is urgent now, and we must be prepared."

Marco and Wayne nodded at the same time.

"No wonder Si Li summoned us old guys. It seems that they had an inkling that today's things would not be simple."

Old Jack looked strange and looked at the church not far away. It seemed that things were beyond his expectation.

"I hope it's not that bad..."

Before he finished speaking, Director Nifa's voice was heard in the Secret Service Department: "Everyone, gather in the detention area!"

"It's the director, let's go!"

Lacey's face darkened, and he turned around and rushed outside.

Marco also quickly followed, but old Jack stood still and did not move.

Wayne glanced at him vaguely, then hesitantly returned to his desk and pretended to pack things, "Tina, wait for me to pack."

The white-haired girl was carrying a clown doll, "Tina, wait."

"Aren't you going?" Old Jack asked with a half-smile.

"Old captain, you go over first, I'll take these and go over."

"Okay." Old Jack looked at him deeply and left the office.

[You are targeted by Jack Kim Adros’ murderous intent. Comment: Well, this time it’s two silks. I advise you to behave normally. Reward: +60 survival points. 】

Seeing the prompt on the panel, Wei En's heart trembled.

He originally wanted to take Tina directly to the clown theater, but Black Jack has been paying attention to him - why?

But I'm afraid I can't leave like this now...

Wei En knew very well that if he made any move, Black Jack's strength would probably kill him instantly.

Thinking of this, he quickly packed up his things and put them into the box, and took Tina's hand.

"gone!"

"Tina, let's go."

Outside the door, Old Jack was waiting at the door. When he saw them coming out, he waved to follow them, "According to my experience, something big happened this time. Come over quickly."

"Um."

Inexplicably, Wei En felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Could it be that the person Black Jack is looking for is one of him and Tina?

Can't?

…

…

At the same time, No. 44 Golden Avenue, Wei En's residence.

No, to be more precise, it was the residence of the intelligence officer placed by the Ghost School in the city of Custer.

"Is this right here?"

"Yes, Lady Olivia."

Two women in black robes stood outside the residence, looking around.

It was two members of the Ghost School of Shadows - one of them, Olivia, was the former liaison officer of the Klanders Intelligence Department.

"The environment is pretty good," Olivia raised her hand and said, "Open the door and go in to see the 'extremely talented' high-level wizard apprentice."

Another woman habitually pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, took out the spare key she had prepared and opened the door to the residence.

Squeak.

At this time, the zombie lady who was cleaning the room was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound.

Wayne is back? At this time?

She quickly dropped the broom and ran downstairs, "Wayne, you... who are you?"

"Zombie?" Olivia looked up and down Sawa with interest, "It seems that even if the apprentice is not within the school, he is still infected with some bad habits."

"Who are you?" Sharapova looked at the person with her pale eyes, bowed slightly and lowered her hands naturally, assuming an attack posture.

"oh?"

Olivia didn't pay attention to her actions at all. After glancing around, she said, "It seems that Mr. Apprentice did not stay at home honestly."

"Sir, what should we do now?" The bespectacled woman focused her attention on Miss Zombie.

The liaison officer could care less, but she couldn't care less... She couldn't deal with zombies of such strength.

"Wait for a while, but it can't be too long. The city-state is not safe now."

"You guys, die!"

Sharapova didn't get the answer she wanted, so she rushed forward!

According to the rules of the world of the undead, anyone who intrudes into the territory without authorization is an enemy!

"Rubbish……"

Olivia looked at her sarcastically, then let's do some exercise before dealing with business...

There is one more chapter to be added, but it will be late, so don’t wait, it will be the same tomorrow.
