After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

The sincerity and gratitude in the eyes of the surrounding residents suddenly made him feel a little suffocated in his heart.

He pursed his lips and resisted the urge to cry.

This was the first time he was thanked like this by others, even though the people thanking him were monsters that he would have killed in the past.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a trace of self-blame in his heart.

His mouth kept opening and closing, and he didn't know what he wanted to say to them.

Because he felt that he was not worthy of these people's solemn thanks.

Finally, he simply lowered his head.

I dare not look at the sincere eyes they cast upon me again.

Chapter 42 The Mastermind

Everyone around Murphy noticed something was wrong with him and reacted differently.

Old Jed looked at Murphy who lowered her head and couldn't help but sigh silently.

He could actually guess a little bit of what his disciples were thinking.

After all, Murphy had never been respected like this before.

Even in Lars City, he was just an ordinary person at the bottom of society. It was impossible for him to be thanked by so many people like he is now.

Although Candice, who was standing behind Murphy, didn't know Murphy's mood, she couldn't help feeling heartbroken when she saw Murphy like this.

She seemed to want to extend her hand to Murphy.

However, the hand only extended halfway and then retracted.

She placed the retracted hand on her chest and gently grasped the bulky gray robe on her body.

She was very conflicted because she didn't know what Murphy's attitude towards her was now.

At the beginning, he seemed to hate himself a little.

But now, after experiencing those death crises together, our attitude may be better.

Maybe he doesn't hate me anymore, but it's very likely that we can't even be considered friends anymore.

She didn't know what to do, so she decided to write a letter to her best friend after she got back.

The remaining two people, Lord Weiss and Enoch, seemed to have noticed something as well, and they looked at each other.

Then, Lord Weiss walked in front of Murphy and used wind magic to amplify his voice.

Then, he roared loudly at the gathered monsters.

"Go back and do your own thing!"

"What? You're all blocking this place to rebel?"

"Shut up, everyone! And get out!"

After hearing what Lord Weiss said, the residents gathered around seemed a little reluctant.

But at this moment, they saw Murphy with her head down and her expression unclear.

And the somewhat dissatisfied look of Enoch standing next to him.

They suddenly realized that they might have done something wrong.

Then, they all apologized to Murphy, and left reluctantly, returning to where they should go.

Murphy and his group set out again, walked into the city lord's fortress, and headed for the meeting room that Lord Weiss mentioned.

-------------------------------------

A group of people have arrived at the conference room and each found a seat and sat down.

At this moment, Murphy has recovered and is no longer as depressed as before.

Even after seeing that Murphy had recovered, the others tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened.

They were seriously discussing the various crises that had occurred before.

"At that time, I felt as if the authority in my body had been drained away."

"authority?"

"Yes, the authority of the Lord of the Labyrinth."

After hearing what Enoch said, Murphy fell into deep thought.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked Enoch.

"Could this be related to my master's sudden disappearance in front of Candice?"

"I don't know. After all, I can't do such a thing."

"However, the possibility of your speculation is not zero."

Enoch shook his head first, then nodded again.

At this moment, Lord Weiss, who was sitting next to him, also raised a very critical question.

"What about the dragon? Why is there a giant dragon in the maze? And no one has noticed it?"

"Hmm...what about those people at the maze entrance? Logically, they should have discovered it, right?"

Murphy pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Old Jed and Candice.

After looking at each other, the two of them shook their heads.

Then, Old Jed said.

"Those people didn't seem to be behaving abnormally."

After hearing this, Murphy lowered his head and sorted out the information he had just heard.

Then, he spoke to the people around him with a serious expression.

"Then can we assume that?"

"There is a person behind the scenes who is full of malice towards us or you."

"He temporarily took away Enoch's authority and separated my master and Candice."

"Then, it might still be the same person, or it might be someone else whose identity is unknown."

"He used some unknown method to hide it from everyone, including Enoch, who could see inside the maze."

"And then led the dragon into the maze."

"And this person must be extremely powerful, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do these things."

"There should be nothing wrong with this assumption, right?"

After Murphy finished speaking, she glanced at everyone in the room.

They began to seriously think about the possibility of this hypothesis, and then agreed with Murphy's guess.

"Yeah, no problem."

"no problem."

"..."

After hearing their answers, Murphy nodded and continued.

"So, who is the mastermind behind this? What is His purpose?"

"Logically speaking, everything that has happened should have its meaning."

"So what is the reason behind this manipulator doing this?"

"He went to so much trouble to do all these things, could it be that He did it just to completely destroy your Labyrinth City?"

"If that's the case, why did the dragon chase and attack Candice and me?"

"So, is He trying to kill us? But there's nothing special about us."

"Also, why do the people in the church say that their goddess gave an oracle?"

"And then ask you two to come investigate?"

The people around lowered their heads and fell into deep thought because of the series of questions raised by Murphy.

But at this moment, Murphy said another word.

And these words made them raise their heads and look at him again.

"The dragon spoke before I killed it."

"It spoke? What did it say?"

Hearing Enoch's question, Murphy spoke slowly.

"Sorry, human."

“What I did was not what I intended.”

"It says exactly what the dragon said."

After hearing what Murphy said, Enoch looked at City Lord Weiss with a strange expression.

Murphy also turned his head and found that Lord Weiss's expression was a little strange.

"what happened?"

"How could a proud dragon apologize to a human?"

"So what's up with this dragon?"

"This...we don't know either."

Murphy and his group stayed in the conference room for a long time, but still didn't discuss anything useful.

So far, the only useful information they have obtained is Murphy's guess just now.

There is a very powerful man behind the scenes who has plans for them.

But Murphy and the others are still unclear about what He is planning.

After a while, Old Jed felt that he had said almost everything he needed to say.

So he stood up, walked to the door of the conference room, and said goodbye to Enoch and Westdenm.

"It's getting late, we have to go back."

"I still have to take this brat to church."

"Otherwise, this kid will only have one arm by then, and he might have to go to Lars Central Square to be a beggar."

I heard old Jed's farewell words and the jokes he made with a smile.

Enoch and Westden both stood up, ready to see him and Murphy out.

"I'll take you out."

"Then let me take you to the city gate."

Chapter 43 Departure

Candice didn't say anything, but she stood up and walked behind Murphy.

Her meaning was very clear, she wanted to leave here with Murphy and Old Jed.

In this way, Murphy and his group walked downstairs together.

The four idiots who had been guarding the door followed behind them.

When they reached the first floor, Enoch looked at the secret compartment on the ground leading to the basement and suddenly stopped.

She seemed to remember something and stood there thinking for a while.

Then she called out to Murphy, who had already walked in front of her, and said to him.

"Murphy! Wait a minute."

"The goddess seems to have left something for you."

"When I woke up earlier, I was in a hurry to find you and forgot to bring it to you."

"Wait here for a moment, I'll get it for you."
