Camilla's brain was not slow. Roddy's simple reply was tantamount to a disguised answer to her question. At the same time, it also shattered the last bit of hope in her heart.
She did not know what the "defense system" was, nor did she understand how powerful Turing was. The only thing she could think of at this moment was the fact that she was "controlled" by Roddy.
No one was willing to be someone else's puppet. If Roddy really had "absolute control" over her, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted to her?
What if he wanted her to commit suicide?
What if he wanted her to take off her clothes?
What if he …
However, these messy thoughts were quickly suppressed. Camilla looked at the calm young man in front of her. She felt that Roddy did not have any intention of "controlling" her. The "sit down" he had just said seemed to be the only order he had given her.
Camilla could not help but think of a question: If she had this ability when facing an enemy, would she be like Roddy and refrain from using it?
She would definitely use it against others, but against Roddy …
She suddenly remembered the fact that she was unwilling to attack Roddy just now. A strange feeling inexplicably arose in her heart. Because she realized that she and Roddy seemed to be unwilling to really hurt each other.
Could it be that this situation happened because they were fighting side by side?
Camilla sighed in her heart. She felt that the conflict between the two had already lost its meaning after this strange relationship was made clear.
The warm wind outside the window gently blew the gauze curtains. Camilla sat on the bed with a complicated look in her eyes. The uncomfortable feeling of being controlled was slowly disappearing. She unconsciously clenched her fists to gather elements. Then, she stretched out her fingers, causing the powerful elements to float away in a faint blue light.
"What … what do you want to ask?"
Although it was a rhetorical question, such an answer meant that Roddy had complete control over the situation. He heaved a sigh of relief. His body that had been leaning forward all along leaned back slightly, making a relaxed posture. This action caused the tension between the two to disappear. Roddy knew that there was no need for him to interrogate Camilla, so he asked, "I want to know, who are you working for?"
The words were unpleasant to hear, but Camilla answered readily this time, "'Holy Assembly', but you wouldn't know even if I told you."
Other than the descendants of the High Elves, there were very few people in this world who knew about the Holy Assembly. They hid themselves so well that there were no legends about them among the people.
However, Roddy did not look as confused as she expected. Instead, he frowned as if trying to recall something. Then, he said slowly, "San Vallano … The High Elf Noble Council?"
He was not familiar with this "Holy Assembly", but the information gathering ability of the players was better than even the most powerful Mage in this era. In 594, the long and stinky name "San Vallano High Elf Noble Council" was dug up by curious players from the vast and complicated history. More than a dozen "research party" players used all kinds of information to prove its influence on several important wars in history. It was a gimmick that attracted people's attention.
That post was pinned at the top of the forum for a week. Roddy also clicked on it and remembered this "cool" sounding name.
Rody frowned as he recalled the contents of that post. Camilla, on the other hand, was shocked speechless by Rody's words. The secret that she thought no one would know had been casually revealed. This made her suspect that not only could Rody control her, but he could also see the memories in her head!
"How … how do you know?"
"I know a little." Roddy gradually sorted out his thoughts, but his face was also gloomy. Before entering the Magic Tower, Camilla had said that if they could not complete the mission, they would not let Naify go … Obviously, these people who deserved to die were the so-called "Holy Assembly".
"Although they have been hiding in various historical events, what they have done will still leave traces. They used Naify to threaten you? I remember that their biggest wish is to revive the High Elf civilization, right? "
This was related to the core secrets of the "Holy Assembly". Hearing Roddy's indifferent tone, Camilla felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Although it is not appropriate to say this, I still have to tell you … the 'Holy Assembly' is just a terrorist organization in a glamorous appearance. It is as scary as the 'extreme religion'. The sooner you break away from it, the more you will know how scary it is."
If Camilla had heard this 12 years ago, she would probably have stood up and fought with Roddy. However, after going through so many hardships and reflecting on herself in Mogra Village for 12 years, Roddy's words were like a sharp knife, mercilessly tearing apart the lie that Camilla had been hiding in her heart for many years!
She suddenly felt disheartened and said in a low voice, "There is no point in breaking away. A chess piece controlled by others is only a threat to the 'Holy Assembly'. The only way to solve this problem is to …"
Camilla made a gesture of cutting her neck and looked away stiffly. She added softly, "The Holy Assembly can monitor the state of the descendants of the High Elves. If they know that I am alive but did not complete the mission for them, they will definitely come to investigate and … take measures."
Roddy's eyes narrowed. "They will make a move on Naifei?"
"If they confirm that I did not complete the mission on my own, they will use any means they can think of to torture me."
Camilla had seen the unscrupulous style of the 'Holy Assembly'. Thinking of her own 'past', she did not hide it anymore. She said straightforwardly, "Especially — they know that I have the first volume of 'Principles of Making Energized Crystals' in my hands … That is the only copy, and I left it in Mogra Village …"
"You mean — that book that can kill people is in Naifei's hands?!"
Naifei was the most unavoidable pain in Roddy's heart. Now that he heard that someone might make a move on Naifei, his anger had already soared to the extreme!
But before Camilla could reply, there was another knock on the door of the bedroom.
Roddy turned around and saw Sodelor standing at the door with a serious face. He said, "Urgent military news. It came from Sora's Sentry …"
Sodelor would only be hesitant when something big happened. So, Roddy immediately realized the problem. He got up and asked, "What happened?"
"A group of nobles seems to have their eyes on Paar and the Forest of Silent Words."
