"It can even be said that this was originally Straw's plan. He planned to use me as bait to catch possible traitors in the family and the hands behind the scenes. The plan was smooth, but the process was a little unexpected."

"Afterwards, the Belusay family will be more integrated and cohesive, becoming a group with a high degree of power cohesion."

Ling looked at Hyde, who was showing his eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"You're more of the same person again."

"More confident and stronger... This is not bad, but suddenly starting such a large-scale change may bring a lot of hidden dangers. Maybe it will take five or ten years for the Belusa family to fully Recuperate.”

The latter smiled, grabbed the water and took a sip.

"I have never changed... The current situation does not need to be vacillating or unable to use power for me. A streamlined family and a more efficient system can play a role that exceeds expectations. In order to achieve this, the current The loss is completely acceptable, after all, we do not have much time to adopt a more moderate approach."

Ling was not very interested in this kind of topic, so he just shrugged.As if suddenly remembering something, she looked around and asked:

"Where did the shadow go? Why isn't she with you?"

"You said her..."

Hyde looked in a certain direction,

"Shadow is in charge of some not-so-pleasant jobs. To be honest, I'm a little worried about her, but judging from the results...although she doesn't like to admit it, she is indeed better at these jobs than me."

"Since she took over completely, the number of "Apostles" and "Electors" we hunted from all over the world has obviously increased, and more and more dark wizards have been detained for trial. "

"Our method is taking effect. Even if a few people notice our purpose, it will be difficult to reverse this tendency, and these disturbing voices will be killed by the shadow in advance."

"I wouldn't have wanted to get her hands dirty if I could. But that's nothing more than my arrogance at the end of the day."

"I originally wanted to propose to her at the ceremony dinner for taking over as Patriarch, but now I really don't feel that way..."

As if aware of the gradual drift of his topic, Hyde shook his head,

"Don't talk about that, how is Ella doing now?"

This topic warmed up Ling's face.

Although Hyde couldn't be more clear about Ella's state, the wall she arranged before she fell asleep is still in effect, and Kraft, protected by a huge magic barrier, can be said to be the safest place in the material world.

"It's not bad, at least she doesn't have to work as hard as before, and can take a good rest for a while."

"And as long as I look for her, Ella is always there, and I can't escape even if I want to."

She patted Hyde on the shoulder,

"Don't worry about us. Didn't you say that you plan to propose to Shadow? You need to prepare well for this kind of thing."

"Oh...Of course, how could I make any mistakes in this kind of thing."

Hyde scratched the side of his face, his expression became a little embarrassed.

"Now that I have divinity, I don't have to think about life expectancy for at least a few hundred years. In this way, the new heir becomes irrelevant. It's just that it takes some effort to break the traditions of those old and stubborn sects."

Dan Delai was originally sitting in a corner near the corner. Recently, she simply lived in the laboratory, and some personal gifts and daily necessities were piled up near the old alchemy table separated by cloth.Even if you leave, you don't know where to go for a while.

And the content of the conversation between the two wizards also shocked her. Whether it was the civil strife and power struggle of the pure-blood family, or the plans and actions of the alliance and executors, it was an earth-shattering event for ordinary wizards.

Dandelai thinks that's not what he should hear, at least now.

But those two seemed to have forgotten their own existence, and just talked about some topics that made her terrified.

Dan Delai began to have some stomach pains. He should have left with Professor Roger just now. Maybe he missed the best time.So much so that now I can only sit where I am and suffer.

It wasn't until the teacher's name appeared in her trance that her eyes lit up and she became focused again.

Although it was only a short sentence or two, the words of that Miss Mephisto clearly gave her an ominous premonition.

"That... teacher, what happened to her?"

The apprentice's low voice was very clear in the laboratory.

Noticing the two gazes cast on him almost at the same time, Dan Delai subconsciously wanted to back down, but his concern for the teacher finally overwhelmed them.

"You are her student, Dandelai... yes, Miss Dandelai, I remember your name."

Ling thought for a while, and found that she still remembered this face.

With Dandelai's age and magic strength, Kraft is not conspicuous, even a little mediocre.But as long as you listen to the speeches and questions raised by the former in Ella's class, it's hard to forget this eccentric and bold magic apprentice.

"If it's Ella's student, then it's really not an outsider. I was wondering why you used hints to let her stay."

Ling's statement made Dandelai feel a little strange. The other party seemed to mean that she did not follow Professor Roger to leave because she was unconsciously hinted by magic.But she herself was unaware of this, nor did she notice that the young man had used any magic.

Hyde explained,

"Before Ella fell asleep, she once specifically told me that Ms. Dandelai's research may play a vital role in the future."

He looked at the magic apprentice with short brown hair.

"I have observed you for a few days, and I have also investigated some old files. Your talent is not bad, but you missed the best time to accumulate magic power because you were too late in contact with magic."

"But it's not a problem. There are as many ways to increase the strength of magic power. Unfettered thinking and this aspect are really rare. I began to gradually believe in Ella's words."

"Maybe it's not a bad thing to have you join us in advance."

Hyde held out a hand, already expressing his approval.

"The decision now is yours. You can choose to maintain the status quo, and we will continue to provide the materials and help you need. Or you can choose to join the alliance to get more resources, funds or opportunities. For example, I can find ways to improve your The strength of the magic power, the more powerful wizard has a wider world. When the magic power reaches a new height, maybe you can see something completely different again."

"For example, you can use better materials, such as dragons or griffins, or even some notorious dangerous creatures. What you have to pay is only some limited freedom, and all research results will be unconditionally submitted to Allies and enforcers open."

Dandelai thought about it and felt that he had no reason to refuse.So she politely held each other's hand, it was not the phantom she guessed before, but an ordinary palm.

"Okay, now let's talk about the research results you obtained before."

Hyde clapped his hands,

"Let's think about it. This kind of guy who discharges electricity regardless of the enemy or himself is not the soldier I want."

"I think I've probably found the problem."

Dan Delai raised his hand, and then took out the leather book from the overly wide pocket on the back.

"The eyes in the brain will amplify the biological instinct to a certain extent. This is not a so-called acquired habit, but a deeper thing that has been engraved in the bloodline from birth."

"The problem with the synthetic beast is that the instincts of different parts of its body are awakened at the same time, and the main body soul with limited intelligence does not have enough spirit to suppress those instincts. That's why it went crazy at the beginning of its birth."

"what do you mean……"

"Yes, I think it needs a subject with higher intelligence or spiritual power."

Chapter 13 Escape

"Subjects with higher intelligence or spiritual power? That will greatly increase our cost."

Dan Delai thought for a while, and found that those magical creatures with high intelligence in his impression were not inferior. If he wanted to use them to mass-produce synthetic beasts, the value of this plan would not be so huge .

Hyde shook his head, with a strange indifference and alienation in his voice.

"No, there is a highly intelligent creature with a relatively low cost, and it will be quite easy to obtain the main body in the future. Considering the use, perhaps it is enough to collect their souls."

"Highly intelligent creatures with low cost?"

The magic apprentice suddenly felt a chill, and she seemed to realize what the other party said.

-

A black carriage left the town overnight and drove on the night plain.

"Teacher, why did we leave Bournemouth? Although it's a bit remote, the people are friendly and it's quiet."

The young girl sitting on the right side of the carriage was the first to speak. She was wearing a simple but clean gray dress, with a delicate and lovely appearance.

"Because this quietness will soon be broken, my child. It will be quite dangerous to continue to stay in the previous stronghold, especially since our identities may be leaked."

The person who answered her was a thin old man with sunken eye sockets, and the nasolabial folds on his cheeks made his expression always look serious.

But children in Bournemouth know very well that this retired teacher who occasionally goes to church to explain word grammar to children is an amiable elder.

The latter often distributes "surplus" food and candies to the children who come to attend classes. Except for being a bit long-winded, the children like him very much.

"But......"

The girl wanted to say something more, but hesitated.

"Speak, boy, don't keep your doubts in your heart. Asking why is the ladder to progress."

Girl no longer hesitates,

"I don't understand, you let them learn more knowledge, it's easier to catch fish, and they don't have to worry about hunger, disease and shipwreck anymore - we have done so much, but why do humans still betray us?"

"The human heart is the most unpredictable thing. Even after spending so long, I have only scratched the surface. This world is dirty, depraved, full of deceit and struggle...Only the world created by our Lord can It's a real paradise."

The girl showed longing expressions. Although she is also a citizen of the Lord, she was born in this filthy material world and has never seen the so-called Paradise with her own eyes.

But even so, when she heard this word, she still felt the throbbing and nostalgia from the depths of her soul.This made her even more convinced of the kingdom of heaven described by the old man.

[The inhabitants of this world are also worthy of being redeemed. 】

The girl once firmly believed in this sentence, but now she is a little shaken by it.

The carriage continued to drive forward, and the gas lamps on the city streets were gradually disappearing, and the sporadic fires were like distant cold stars in the night sky.

The swaying downlight in front of the carriage only illuminated a small area, which didn't look bright, but made the road and jungle in the distance on the plain even darker.

"If our identities have been exposed, wouldn't it be safer to stay in the city? Enforcers generally worry about civilians. As long as they have scruples, it will be easier for us to hide or escape, right?"

"And there are some members of the fraternity in Bournemouth. Those wizards gather in the bar by the sea every Friday. They will also take action against the executors who threaten them?"

When she said this, she had already subconsciously regarded the townspeople and children of the same age who used to get along happily as a shield that could be used. She felt that she had been betrayed and didn't think it was a problem.

The old man seemed to have noticed something, then gave her a serious look, and explained.

"Craft's executors will indeed try to avoid harming civilians. As you said, it may be safer to stay in the town if they only face them."

"But the danger doesn't just come from where you see it, the knife behind you will be more deadly and difficult to guard against."

"As for the other point...Isabella, don't look at everything in this world with malicious eyes, don't be stained by it even if you are in the mud. There are still some of them who are worthy—"

The sound of flesh being pierced and torn by metal suddenly resounded.

Before the old man finished speaking, a sharp iron spear pierced the cushion under him, piercing the old man's body from bottom to top, leaving only half of the spear painted black piercing his throat.A large stream of blood spilled from his throat, body and mouth.

The girl was completely stunned by the scene in front of her, but she didn't wait for her to scream or make any counterattack.A large number of ice picks accompanied by strong cold air broke through the window, freezing the scream together with the old man's gushing blood.
