The black-robed man boarded the carriage, sat opposite Viscount Megson, and said in a hoarse voice, "You contacted me at such a sensitive time. It better be something important enough."
"Sensitive?" Megson was stunned, but he immediately became annoyed. "Since you know it's a sensitive time, why didn't you tell me about Armored Rock City as we agreed?! Don't forget who's paying to maintain the operation of your church now. "The viscount's last sentence revealed a hint of threat.
The black-robed man frowned. "Armored Rock City? I've told you everything I can. What else do you want to know? Details of the fall of the city? The informant we planted in the garrison? Do you know what these mean to you? "
Megson's face showed a look of surprise. "Details of the fall of the city? Armored Rock City has been breached?! Why didn't you tell me? "
The black-robed man's patience was about to run out. His face darkened. "Sir Viscount, you called me out in the middle of the night just to make fun of me? Two days ago, when Armored Rock City fell, we told you in advance as agreed. Instead of thinking about how to deal with the Magician's Association and Pushkin, you came out in the middle of the night to make fun of me … "
"Wait, you said the fall of Armored Rock City happened two days ago?!" Megson looked incredulous. "Did you … do it ahead of time?"
The black-robed man also realized that something was wrong. Mei Gerson didn't look like he was joking, but it was precisely because of this that he felt uneasy. The black-robed man said quickly, "Do you know what day it is today?"
"October 13th, year 998 of the Magic Calendar?"
The black-robed man's heart sank completely. He slapped the carriage with his palm and said anxiously, "Stop, stop, let me get off!!!"
The coachman immediately stopped the carriage. The black-robed man did not have time to explain to the confused Megson and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. However, after a few breaths, he returned to the carriage again. Just when Megson was about to ask, he saw another figure also got into the carriage.
"Hi, Mr. Viscount, we meet again!" D 'Addarion greeted him enthusiastically. When he saw the blank expression on the viscount's face, he smacked his forehead, "Hey, I almost forgot that you have lost your memory for the past two days. It's a pity. It's hard to get back the baked cookies you owe me."
Mei Jason was not stupid. At this moment, he realized that he had fallen into the other party's trap. He did not care about the life and death of the black-robed man. He was more concerned about his physical condition. He asked nervously, "What did you do to me?"
"Don't worry, I just erased some unimportant memories for you. Of course, if you don't want to cooperate with me, I don't mind erasing all your memories before the age of twenty so that you can feel what it's like to have a young soul living in an old body."
Megerson opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but he was rudely interrupted by someone. "You'd better not threaten me with your family or any bullshit god. I can guarantee that nothing in this carriage can stop me from doing what I want in the next magic hour."
…
After a magic hour, Lilith stopped the carriage on the side of the road. D 'Addarion took the black-robed man out of the carriage and grinned at the sorceress, "We're lucky this time. We caught a big fish."
"Oh?"
"This guy is one of the four giants of the Church of Patience. He is in charge of the list of all the activities of the Church of Patience in the Lionheart Empire. With his cooperation, we can catch this group of people in one fell swoop."
"What about that guy? What are you going to do?" Lilith pointed at Viscount Megerson who was sitting in the carriage.
"Well, kill him." D 'Addarion pondered for a moment and said lightly, "This guy is very cunning. I always feel that he will be a scourge if we keep him alive."
Megerson's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Don't kill me. I know who is behind the Church of Patience."
This time, even the black-robed man was a little surprised. He shook his head and said, "It's impossible. He is very cautious. He never shows up in front of people. Even we elders have never seen his true face. You are an outsider. In the entire church, the only high-ranking person you have seen is me."
"In theory, yes, but I do know who he is. I also discovered his identity by accident." Viscount Megerson moved his eyes to Lilith. "I need a guarantee."
D 'Addarion was dissatisfied, "If you need a guarantee, why didn't you come to me?"
Megerson thought to himself that he needed a guarantee because he was worried about her. Otherwise, he would have said it directly. Of course, he did not dare to say this out loud. So, he could only continue to look at the sorceress.
The latter thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, as long as you tell us who is behind the Church of Patience, I can guarantee your personal safety."
Megerson did not speak immediately. He looked at the black-robed man again. "I want to say the next words only to the two of you."
"Don't be so sentimental." D 'Addarion raised his staff, and the black-robed man fainted under the Hypnosis spell. After that, the president of the Sorcerer's Association said impatiently, "Are you done now?"
This time, Megerson did not keep them in suspense. "The mastermind behind the Church of Patience … is very likely to be the current head of the Matthews family, Hastings Duke."
After Megerson said that, he noticed the look in D 'Addarion and Lilith's eyes. He knew that the two were probably thinking the wrong thing. He quickly explained, "I'm not saying this because I want to get rid of Hastings and take over the position of the head of the family. In fact, I admire him very much. Although many people in the family say that he is getting older and more and more stubborn, he was able to stand up to the majority and recruit me back into the family. It shows that he is still very courageous. However, I did not expect him to be the mastermind behind the Church of Patience."
Megerson paused. "You may not know this, but as early as six years ago, Hastings had been in a semi-retirement state due to physical reasons. He divided his work into several parts and assigned them to a few people he favored, including me. In fact, he was using this method to evaluate and select the next head of the Matthews family. And the task that I was assigned to … To be honest, I was really shocked at that time. Hastings wanted me to deal with the future patron saint of the human race, the possessor of the strongest talent in the magic world, the future ninth-grade supreme magus Rob."
"What? Hastings wanted to deal with Rob?" D 'Addarion heard the news for the first time.
