Hell Creek didn't hesitate at all and immediately said that he would go to the underground base to call other operators to prepare to rescue Elliot.

Then, the huge lizard's body twisted flexibly, in a movement that almost disappeared from Farrow's sight.

He entered an unknown underground entrance alone.

If Faro hadn't been watching in front of him, he would have really thought that Hell Creek was using some kind of magic.

Very quickly, after a while.

Thump thump thump.

Vietcong probe.

In order not to attract too much attention, Hell Creek only gathered seven or eight operators to go together.

Although their number is small, they are elite and well concealed.

Faro left Vera here temporarily. The next action was very dangerous. Faro could not feel at ease no matter what while taking Vera with him.

Although the latter was very reluctant and wanted to help Faro, he finally had to obey his arrangements under Faro's strong request.

After assuring Vera that he would be fine.

Faro, Hell Creek, and several other operators rode fast horses and galloped towards Huanhai Manor.

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

Inside the morgue.

Kleist and Alvis stopped and stood there.

The stretchers around were filled with congressmen who had unfortunately died in the attack. Most of them died in horrific ways, so all the bodies were covered with white cloth.

In order to avoid scaring the white magicians and caregivers passing by.

Although they have hideous faces and twisted bodies.

But now in the eyes of the outside world, he is a real hero. He was harmed by the demi-humans and Kavia. On behalf of the Arcane Ring and the entire archipelago, he became a poor man caught between these two evils.

Soon, in just a few days, their bodies will be buried with the highest standard of funeral, that is, a state funeral.

By then, they will take the truth about the massacre to their graves.

From now on, the Arcane Ring will become a dictatorship belonging to Crest alone.

Then, he took this opportunity to direct all the hatred of the common people towards the Ajin and Kaavia.

Kleist is convinced.

With a common enemy, the entire archipelago will be united and form the most unbreakable alliance.

Finally, you will take on the role of leader and lead the Arcane Ring to glory.

This is his real purpose.

At this time, Kleist was still leaning on Levant.

In the past few days, this legendary staff has hardly left his hand.

He was a pragmatist and always carried it with him, certainly not for any ulterior motive, such as to show off or flaunt his power.

But it has other uses.

Only a few people knew that the country had just experienced the greatest political turmoil in its history. The top leaders were slaughtered and there was no leader. It was the weakest time for the entire country. Any intrusion from outsiders might destroy Kleist's plan.

Therefore, he must ensure his own safety at all times.

Not to mention carrying Levant with him all day long, if his authority did not allow it, he would have wanted to go to the anomaly shelter and take out all the anomalies with the highest authority for self-defense.

Unfortunately, even though he is now the real Speaker, he cannot call upon those anomalies.

The Mage Tower for anomaly containment is fully managed by the Guardian Mages. At least in terms of the authority over anomalies, their power is higher than anyone else.

Ah, my headache comes just thinking about this.

Crest's eyes became more and more gloomy, even though he had eliminated dissidents and seized power.

But he still had a serious look.

Just like the guardian mages, the various magic societies, the Hall of Elements, the Mage Tower, etc., it doesn’t matter to them who the Grand Speaker is.

According to the rules set by the God of War Histana herself, Lucarea's society can exist independently of the parliament and is not responsible to it.

Although Crest changed many legal provisions, he was strongly opposed and resisted by the mages when he amended this rule.

Especially a mage organization like the Spear of Lei, which has its own powerful armed forces.

Even if I became the Speaker, they would have no reason to submit to me, because the Speaker was not the emperor after all.

If they knew the truth, they might even help Elliot overthrow him.

Kleist sighed.

At this moment, he even felt a little envious of Emperor Kavia.

He possesses supreme power and majesty. As long as he gives an order, no one in the entire empire dares to disobey.

His purpose of coming to the morgue now is to verify one by one whether these congressmen are completely dead.

It was now late at night, and ten hours had passed since the attack.

Because the troops rushed up from the bottom of the tower, Kleist did not have enough time to finish off the victim and perform an autopsy.

He had been worried about this, what if one of them ran away.

If this is the case, there is a great possibility that the truth will be leaked.

Kleist wished he had not set a fire and burned all these people to charcoal.

The morgue was extremely cold, and the pungent smell of disinfectant and holy water No. 1 was everywhere.

Disinfectant is used to prevent epidemics, and holy water is used to prevent the bodies of the dead from mutating.

Kleist ordered Alvis to join him in conducting a detailed examination of each body to make sure they were completely dead.

Alvis is feeling a little weird now.

He had been Milgrom's assistant for a long time, and he had witnessed Kleist's growth and thought he knew him very well.

However, since he became Speaker, what he has done has become more and more outrageous.

After taking him to the parliament, he is now asked to perform an autopsy and finish off the enemy. This is really insane.

Although Crest was also a madman in the past, as far as Alvisso knew, he was not someone who could do such a thing.

I don't know if power has gone to his head or if I have never seen him clearly.

Anyway...he felt that Crest was a completely different person now.

The two examined the bodies of most of the congressmen and found nothing abnormal.

Just when they were about to identify the last few bodies, Blood Blade suddenly rushed in.

Brought the news from Fantine.

——She used Orfnigan's secret blood-seeking technique and seemed to have found their hiding place, and Faro was also rushing towards Huanhai Manor.

It seemed like he was going to take a picture of Elliot.

When this news came, a look of relief appeared on Crest's face that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Falo had calculated all of his actions, and his current behavior was tantamount to confessing himself, which perfectly matched his identity as the mastermind behind the scenes.

So he waved his hand and asked Alvis to publish this information in the newspaper.

And I have to go there myself and catch them all in one swoop to prevent future troubles.

Then, in less than a moment, silence returned to the morgue again.

The moonlight shining on the corpses covered with white cloth made them look particularly creepy.

Suddenly, one of them sat up abruptly as if waking up.

Chapter 27 Disillusionment

When Faro arrived at Huanhai Manor, it was already completely dark.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and even the few sparse stars could not be found.

The cold wind kept blowing on his face, making Faro more sober.

Everything that happened today was by no means accidental, but was premeditated. Someone must be planning something behind the scenes.

Judging from the appearance of the elemental mages, it seems that the Council of the Arcane Ring has suffered great damage?

But... who would be bold enough to attack Parliament?

The Arcane Ring is the country with the highest level of magic in the world. Although it was founded on an archipelago due to its limited land area, it does not prevent it from becoming a well-deserved powerful country.

Basically, it is a contemporary power that can be compared with the Kavia Empire, elves, demons, and even dragons.

Elemental Guards are extremely loyal unless the invaders of the Council have done something unforgivable.

Otherwise they would not have killed him before judging him.

This further proves that something extraordinary must have happened today.

It's much more than just 'Parliament is damaged'.

Faro remembered what the guard said.

'Stealing the country'...

This is no joke. The word itself is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation.

In the final analysis, who is trying to frame me?

It is impossible for other countries to do this. Doing such a thing to the political leader of the Arcane Ring is tantamount to declaring war directly.

No one would take that risk.

Who could it be that would rush into the parliament for no reason?

Faro thought about it and initially thought that the people who could do such a thing should be some corrupt wizards who believed in chaos or other evil cults.

Like Marcus and Harold.

These crazy people can do anything.

But then I thought about it, that’s not right.

They would rather hide and develop so that no one can find them. Besides, why should they be blamed for what they did?

If I had to say it, my identity as the Chosen One of Lust was kept very secret. Apart from the two nuns, no one else knew about it.

The nuns had no motive to leak the secret.

Faro could only target Crest.

Since being kidnapped last time, Faro has rarely appeared in public and has always been on guard against Crest because he has no idea what he wants to do.

What is certain is that before this, he seemed to be in a state of being infected by chaos.

It is even possible that most of the lawmakers have been infected.

The clues in my mind are too fragmented and disorganized to be connected together.

Farlow shook his head in annoyance.

According to Kleist, did he have any reason to attack the parliament?

He himself has already become the Speaker.

Although Claire said that he was a cold-blooded man, Faro felt that if he really did it, then his behavior was a bit too extreme.

His intuition told him that it was Crest who was behind the attack.

Then the intention is to shift the sin to others.

Then he would not be the only scapegoat, Elliot would definitely be one of them.

So Faro came to Elliot not only to prevent any trouble.

It's more about confirming something.

If tonight, not only was I attacked, but Elliot was also attacked.
