Alais...

Mitra was a little distracted thinking of the former director of the Secret Service Department.

"Is there a problem?" Wei En noticed her expression and asked calmly.

"No, no."

Mitra's eyes returned to focus, and she stared at the young wizard in front of her. She calmed down the throbbing in her heart and said, "I guess you have made a detailed analysis of what happened to Custer that night, and you should know something about it..."

you?

Wei En chuckled. This favored member of the Desire Sect was more resigned to his fate than he thought.

fair enough.

"I know a little bit, I should say I know the general direction of things, but there are still some things that I don't understand. I hope you can give me the answer."

"Then I understand. Let me tell you what I know first..."

Mitra let out a sigh of relief, her eyes no longer looked at the young wizard, but slowly moved to the wine glass at hand, and recalled:

"The cause of the matter goes back seventeen years. At that time, Alais was the deputy director of the Secret Adjustment Department and the youngest director-level transcendent in the entire Custer City State. He was considered high-spirited."

"The situation in the city-state at that time was very complicated. The three parties, the Noble Council, the Parliament and the Dawn Church, were attacking each other. To be precise, the Noble Council and the Parliament joined forces to resist the Dawn Church..."

Against the Dawn?

Wei En's eyes changed slightly. Were the parliament and nobles so brave at that time?

He didn't know the details of the Church of Dawn before, but now he knows that it is the Church of the Righteous God that occupies the entire Eastern Continent. Not to mention the small city-state of Custer, even the Kingdom of Chartland can be easily destroyed.

Faced with such a strong man, how dare the noble council and parliament resist?

"Do you know who was sitting in Krims Cathedral at that time?"

"Andrews?" Wayne groaned.

Mitra nodded, "At that time, Andrews, who came to the city-state of Castel with Alais, had already taken over the position of bishop of Krims Cathedral."

"Ales is not the director yet?"

Wei En raised his eyebrows, understanding what she wanted to express.

Alais and Andrews are similar in age, but their status had changed somewhat seventeen years ago.

In the words of his previous life, if you are in a different position, your way of looking at things will inevitably be biased.

And this has nothing to do with friendship, just position.

Obviously, at that time, Alais should have viewed the Church of Dawn from the perspective of the Secret Service, or the Parliament.

"That's right! At that time, Bishop Andrews had just taken over as bishop and had to deal with the mess left by the previous bishop. Faced with the lack of cooperation from the Parliament and the Noble Committee in all aspects, he was also under pressure."

Having said this, Mitra added: "One more point should be made here. Unless there is a war or disaster in the city-state, Dawn Sanctuary will not interfere with the affairs of the city-state because of such things."

"This also created conditions for the nobles and parliament, and also laid the groundwork for what will follow..."

What happened next... that should be the time when the former Secret Adjustment Department suffered heavy losses...

Wayne did not interrupt and listened quietly to Mitra's story.

Just as he thought, faced with that situation, the anxious Bishop Andrews decided to take the initiative, but he knew his friend's character and would never let him do things that harmed the residents of the city-state.

Therefore, before the plan started, he used a treasure map, which was the ruins in the Western Continent where Tina stayed, to trick Alais into taking an adventure.

Then he began to use the power in his hands to actively win over a group of extraordinary families, promising benefits and trying to win over all the families he could.

I have to say that the name of Dawn Church is indeed very useful, and many nobles are believers of Dawn...

Therefore, after seeing an archbishop lowering his stature, those nobles readily accepted it, thus causing divisions in the seemingly united noble council.

Immediately afterwards, Andrews used the power of these nobles to control the Council of Nobles and check and balance Parliament.

In fact, at this point in the plan, his goal has been achieved. All he has to do next is to strengthen his own control, balance the strength of the Noble Committee and the Parliament, and buy more time.

But Andrews was careless. He did not notice that among the nobles he had attracted, the old Ernst was afraid that the city-state would not be in chaos, nor did he notice their determination to regain control of the Custer city-state.

Therefore, one evening, the Ernst family used the energy of the Glory Society to find a forbidden object, and through a series of means, placed it inside the Secret Brewing Department...

What happened next was something Wei En was familiar with.

The demon clown lost control and massacred a large number of members of the Secret Adjustment Department. Then the returned Alais borrowed Tina's power to solve the problem of the forbidden object being out of control.

"...After Alais solved the forbidden object, within two hours, he became the new director of the Secret Adjustment Department, which also frustrated old Ernst's plan."

Mitra's tone couldn't help but sigh. When she found out about this, it was only after she had been in contact with the nobles of the Glory Society for a long time. At that time, Alais was still the most useless person in the city-state.

"Oh? Old Ernst wants to take the opportunity to take control of the Secret Adjustment Department?"

"Well," Mitra nodded, "The city-state guard and the Secret Adjustment Department have always been controlled by the parliament. If the noble council can control the Secret Adjustment Department, coupled with their family guards, it will have an absolute advantage."

Wayne asked thoughtfully: "What role did Bishop Andrews play seventeen years ago? Did he leave it alone?"

"Yes, he did nothing after he noticed the plan of the old Ernst family. For him, whether the nobles or the parliament were weakened, the Dawn Church would have more say in the Caster City-State."

Got it.

Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!

However,

I'm afraid that Bishop Andrews didn't expect the direction of things, right?

"No wonder, after Alais became the director, he didn't get close to any party. Even on the parliament side, he only did superficial work..."

"That's true."

At this point, Mitra couldn't help but look at Wayne, "You know more than I thought."

"Go on."

Wayne smiled and raised his hand to signal her to continue.

What happened seventeen years ago was just the cause of the whole incident. What he wanted to know more was what Alais did before that night.

Or, how did he drive the noble committee into the trap step by step...

"Later..." Mitra thought for a while and said, "About seven years ago, I came to the Never-Sleeping City. At that time, the Glory Society had contacted our Desire Sect, hoping to use the power of the Great Desire Lord to control a group of people in the Caster City-State."

"The old Earl Ernst mainly wanted to control some core members of the parliament, most of whom were competitors for the consul."

"Until one night two years ago, the sect suddenly contacted me and asked me to contact a person code-named "Dark Night" to cooperate with him to do something."

"Afterwards, I found out that the "Dark Night" was Director Ales himself. I don't know what he used to exchange for the leader's consent and secretly formed an alliance."

A double agent?

Wayne raised his eyebrows. This was something he had not thought of before.

He thought Mitra was just cooperating with the nobles... But in this way, he also figured out how Ales set up a trap for old Ernst to get in.

With a core member of the enemy as an insider, as long as he is not discovered, he can arrange it calmly.

With the help of old Jack who kidnapped Claire, Ales had a good chance of winning from the beginning.

Oh, we also have to take into account Tina and the Joker's loss of control...

"What about the Black Pearl? Are there people from the Abyss Sect?"

"Old Ernst from the Abyss Sect called them, but after Ales found out about this, he also reached a deal with someone from the Abyss Sect. The Abyss Commander did not appear in the city-state that night, so I think he did it."

"As for the Black Pearl... I know that the Glory Society sent a message and did not sign a contract with them, and they seem to have their own plans."

Mitra shook his head again, "Sorry, I'm not very clear about this."

"It doesn't matter, you've said enough, and I've figured out the whole story. Well, thank you very much." Wayne smiled and said gently.

He knew that it was not Ales who took action on the side of the Abyss Sect, but the people of the Dawn Church who stopped it.

And the target of the Black Pearl should be the taboo in the hands of Director Nifa and the little white hair.

But later when they met Black Jack, they didn't seem to care about the little white hair...

So, Wayne could only guess that Black Jack kidnapped Tina because someone instructed him to do so, or was it Ales's work?

"Mr. Wayne, there is one last thing I want to tell you."

Mitra felt relieved. She was really worried that the young wizard would be angry with her because of Ales, but now it seems that the situation is not bad.

"Do you know that Ales may be on this island now?"

"Huh?"

Wayne was stunned. Ales is on the island?

He turned his head and looked at Tina who was sitting quietly next to him. His eyes subconsciously fell on the sailboat model in her hand, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his red eyes.

The familiar feeling in the Golden Tavern, the materials produced by the ruins of the Western Continent in the Jimenez family repair shop...

Is it Ales's arrangement?

Possibly!

Thinking of this, Wayne looked at Mitra and asked coldly: "What else do you know? Tell me!"

"He, he..."

Mitra's face changed slightly, and the sense of fear that had just trembled from the origin swept through her body again, making her feel cold all over.

"Just a week ago, old Jack, who left with Ales, found me and said that they would arrive at Alexi Island in the near future."

"Let me come to the island in advance to prepare a hiding place for them and arrange the rune array to avoid the pursuit of the brave saint of the Dawn Church."

"So, he hasn't arrived yet?"

"I don't know... but based on my understanding of Ales, he will definitely determine the situation on the island in advance, and then show up at the right opportunity..."

Cautious?

Wayne's eyes flashed with a faint red glow, and the murderous intent spread, as if to devour anything in front of him.

"Did they say the purpose of coming to this island?"

"This..." Mitra raised her eyelids, and the expression on her face was self-evident.

Originally, she didn't know why Alai deliberately went to Alexei Island, but the moment she saw Wei En, she understood - he must want to complete what he had not done in Caster City-State before!

"To wait for me?"

"Yes, maybe."

Wayne stared at her coldly for a long time before he put on a gentle, sunny smile again.

"This news is very important to me..."

The alarm was lifted.

Mitra felt relieved, laughed dryly, and said, "I'm not sure... According to the deal between our Desire Sect and that person, after the Caster City-State incident, the two sides were not involved. After that, I thought I would not see him again... I didn't expect..."

"In fact, I didn't expect to see him in a short time, hehe." Wayne's smile became brighter, "Is this the station you prepared for them?"

"Well, Mr. Jonathan and I have met several times before. This is what he prepared for me... our Desire Sect."

"So, he knows your identity?"

"I guess so," Mitra hesitated and explained, "I used the Desire Divine Art on him, which can influence some of his decisions."

An effect similar to hypnosis?

Tsk, these Desire Sects, Despair Sects and the like always have unique abilities in bewitching.

Thinking of this, Wayne glanced around, his spiritual perception covered the entire building, carefully checking every place, not missing any weak fluctuations.

"Did he tell you the specific time to arrive at Alexei Island?"

"No," Mitra shook his head, and then added: "But I guess he should find a way to get rid of the heroic saint and then rush here."

Wayne tapped the table thoughtfully, "Oh."

The heroic saint of the Dawn Church pursued Ales Coulibaly, and the saint of judgment Celestia Edas pursued...

"Mr. Wayne, I, I know this, you..."

Looking at the young wizard with a thoughtful face, Mitra felt bitter. She said everything she should say, and she didn't want to be implicated by Ales.

"You want me to leave now?"

"If possible!"

"Why should I leave? He is chasing me. No matter where I hide, he will find a way to find me. Instead of hiding, it is better to end it here. It just so happens..."

Speaking of this, Wei En paused and looked at Tina beside him, with a gentle look on his face.

It just so happens that the little white hair has been waiting for a long time!

"Then... I wish Mr. Wei En success. I will not get involved in this matter."

Mitra was not very touched by his idea.

Ales or Wei En, to her, are not very related people.

Now she just wants to stay away from Alexei Island, away from these two crazy people...

"Oh? You want to leave?" Wei En looked at her with a smile and asked.

"Yes, yes."

Mitra's heart jumped. Doesn't this person want to escape?

"No, you don't want to!"

"..."

Mitra opened her eyes wide, and her beautiful face was full of disbelief.

This young wizard really doesn't want her to leave?

Is he going to kill her?

After thinking for a while, Mitra asked cautiously: "You, do you need me to do anything?"

"I like smart people."

Wai En responded ambiguously, then took out a few pieces of parchment for writing contracts from the space ring, spread them on the table in front of him, and said: "Smart people will make the right choice."

Contract?

Mitra looked at the parchment on the table and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Even Alais and the others had never signed a contract with her... This...

Wai En saw the complex and wonderful expression on her face, and felt inexplicably happy. The scene when he met this Desire Master in the City That Never Sleeps emerged in his mind.

Well, she was still quite scary at that time, at least in the City That Never Sleeps...

"I give you three choices. The first is a master-servant contract. You become my follower, or to be more frank, a maid."

"The second is an equal contract. You have to provide me with information about Ales until I completely solve him."

"As for the third choice, I will kill you now to prevent you from becoming Ales's helper."

"Now," Wayne looked at her with a smile, "please start your choice."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Mitra put his hand on the first parchment without hesitation and said firmly: "I choose the first one!"

Wayne: "???"

Are you crazy? Shouldn't normal people choose the second one?
