Merlin once suspected that Rob was the mysterious master behind Lolo, and this guy happened to have the same name as the magic genius who ran away from the Royal College of Magic and Magic. However, what happened in the freshmen arena not long ago seemed to prove that the master behind Lolo was someone else.
Merlin was now more and more curious about the girl. After that incident, he also paid attention to the situation of the Bretton family. This great aristocratic family located in the north had five hundred years of accumulation and complicated interests. However, with the disappearance of the previous head of the family, Scarlet Sword, the temple showed a rather superb skill. They spent a few years to divide the allies of the Bretton family one by one, and at the same time, monitored and cleaned up some of the stubborn ones. The temple showed considerable patience throughout the whole process, and did not arouse the vigilance of the northern aristocrats.
When the dust settled, the friends and subordinates of Scarlet Sword were no longer there. Even if the remaining people still had connections with the Bretton family, they were not very influential. As a result, although Luo Luo was still the ruler of the Bretton clan in name, she had always been isolated and helpless. No one outside of the clan or within the clan supported her. As a result, the Radiant Temple had relaxed their surveillance on her to a certain extent. However, two years ago, she suddenly received help from someone and escaped from right under the Radiant Temple's nose. Everything that happened afterwards seemed to prove that there was an expert by her side.
Who could this person be?
The masked man's heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten. He was very interested in the guy behind the girl.
He found that he could not find anyone else who would risk going against the Trial of Heresy to help Lolo. The guy who ran away from the Royal College of Magic and Magic might have the courage, but the timing did not match. When Lolo escaped from her home, the former was still imprisoned in the tower by the Steins. This was also a very important reason why Merlin did not suspect Rob too much.
Previously, he believed that as the game progressed, he would be able to figure out the opponent's background. It was a pity that Claire was kidnapped not long after. When Merlin realized that he had gone overboard, it was too late. Then, the opponent reached an agreement with Claire in the Dungeon. As the price for rescuing Claire, Merlin had to arrange this meeting.
The masked man tapped the mask on his face with the hand he used to support his chin. "I know what you want to ask the most. You're lucky. I'm probably the only person in this world who knows the truth about what happened back then."
Lolo said excitedly, "Do you really know what happened to my mother?"
Merlin nodded. "The day before Eluria's burial, I happened to be a guest at your family's castle. I even went to your bedside to see you when you were just a few days old, so strictly speaking, it wasn't the first time we met. After that, I hurried to get in touch with the old nanny named Teresa before the people from the Temple of Light arrived." Merlin sniffed twice. "Oh yes, by the way, your family's sausages taste very good. I quite like them, so I packed a bag before I left. I hope you don't mind."
The girl was stunned. "You've met Teresa? No wonder you have the earring that my mother lost. So, does that mean that Teresa has something to do with my mother's death?"
"Of course, your mother's death was not an accident. The old nanny named Teresa played a very important role in it. She betrayed the most important thing to her." Merlin shrugged. "I can tell you the whole truth right now, but it's meaningless because you don't believe me at all. So, it seems that we only have one solution left."
"Do you know where Mother Teresa is?" Lolo's expression froze. Her father, the Scarlet Sword, had spent many years rummaging through almost all the cloisters and churches but could not find the old nanny. After the incident with Eluria, she seemed to have disappeared from the world. Now that more than ten years had passed, fewer and fewer people knew about the incident, and the hope of finding Mother Teresa was getting slimmer and slimmer. Until she heard what the masked man said just now, a glimmer of hope ignited in the girl's heart.
However, after the incident in the museum, the girl had become calmer and calmer. "But how do I know that this is not another trap set by you?"
"If you don't trust me, I can send you a hostage this time, and it should come in handy where you are going," Merlin said after thinking for a while.
At the same time, in a basement in Gudilesi City, the little golem Hector was admiring his newly changed sapphire pectoral major in front of the mirror. Suddenly, he sneezed and rubbed his nose in confusion, wondering which bastard was plotting against him again.
Lolo took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Mother Teresa?"
"At the moment, she is under the rule of Grimm, less than four hundred miles away from Gudilesi City." Merlin did not play any tricks this time and gave the answer straightforwardly.
"Grimm Grimm? What is that place?! " The place was a little strange to Lolo. She had been in the south for almost half a year and had a certain understanding of the surrounding towns, but she had never heard of the rule of Grimm. There was no temple in the south with this name.
"Grimm Grimm is the largest prison of the temple in the south. It is located in the Kilimanjaro Mountains and is surrounded by cliffs. The mountain rock stratum contains an astonishing amount of iron and copper. You can see it as a huge steel fortress. The only passage was dug by manpower 700 years ago. The whole project took 20,000 adult laborers and nearly 120 years. After the completion, the entrance was guarded by twelve eighth-grade holy knights with the strongest faith. It is a place used by the temple to imprison the most vicious criminals," Rob said after a long silence.
Lolo looked at Merlin in the pool with an unfriendly expression. "Are you kidding us? You deliberately said that it is a place where no one can enter … "
Merlin raised his hand and said innocently, "Don't worry, I'm not finished yet. I know there is a secret passage in the Kilimanjaro Mountains that can lead to the rule of Grimm. If you enter through that secret passage, you can avoid the twelve eighth-grade holy knights at the gate. However, the rule of Grimm is very big. My source only told me that the old woman named Teresa is in there. As for the specific location, you need to find it yourself."
"Besides," the masked man paused, "the twelve gatekeepers are not the only danger in the rule of Grimm. I'm only responsible for sending you in. After that, you still have to rely on yourselves. So, you'd better think carefully before you act. Claire will leave Gudilesi City in the near future, and her bakery will be useless in the future. When you are ready, you can hang a string of purple wind chimes in front of your shop. My people will contact you when they see it."
