In the ruins of Osvid's mansion.
"Damn it!"
Yue Sefu's face darkened as he punched the broken pillar beside him.
The pillar tilted and smashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Although it seemed like Yue Sefu had the upper hand in this confrontation, Wang Erde hadn't come in person and had only used a flesh puppet spell.
Yue Sefu's punches had seemed powerful, but they hadn't hurt at all. Unless the attack was a curse, it wouldn't affect the caster at all. It could only vent some of his psychological displeasure.
However, for a Magus of Wang Erde's level, even if he cast a curse on the flesh puppet, it wouldn't have much effect and might even rebound.
Secondly, Wang Erde's last few words had affected Yue Sefu's emotions, making him feel like he was being led by the nose.
This meant that Wang Erde might know more about the deeper secrets of the Miyird Tower than he did!
This knowledge made Yue Sefu very vexed.
Moreover, Wang Erde's words implied that this matter had something to do with the elders. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
After all, Osvid was a radiant Grand Knight, and only the elders could restrict and supervise him. Before the elders made a judgment, no one would suspect a radiant Grand Knight. After all, this was the symbol of the Miyird Tower's reputation.
If he really had done something more than just private, such as what Wilde said, being a spy in the Path of the Flaming Sword and not being exposed, and had been holding this sacred position all this time, then the Elder Council would definitely be implicated.
In other words, there might be a mole in the Path of the Flaming Sword in the elders' seats!
This was a very frightening matter.
When a mole appeared at the highest level of an organisation and had enough power to control the entire organisation, it basically meant that the organisation was not far from its end.
The Dome Church, which had been destroyed not long ago, was the most vivid example.
Yue Sefu's expression changed several times, but he still took a deep breath, calmed down, and withdrew his fist.
"I can't rule out the possibility that Wang Erde used words to disturb and sway my mind. This is a matter of great importance. I must make my own reliable judgment."
Although he claimed that he had come on Boss Lin's orders, Yue Sefu, who had dealt with Wang Erde all year round, knew that he could not easily believe anything this guy said.
Yue Sefu's eyes flickered as he looked back at Oswald's corpse.
But … Wang Erde took Osweiler's soul to repair the gargoyle he gave to Boss Lin, and Osweiler's grandson, in order to frame Melissa, sent people to search the bookstore and decided to report it.
Wang Erde just happened to come out of the bookstore at that time, and according to Ke Laode, he was holding … the cracked gargoyle!
If Boss Lin had asked Wang Erde to repair the gargoyle at that time, the latter would naturally understand that those few pawns and Todd weren't worth Boss Lin's personal attention. Moreover, these people's weak souls weren't enough to repair the gargoyle.
This obviously meant that she wanted him to bring Osweiler's soul over!
If everything was Boss Lin's will, it would seem to be the most reasonable explanation …
However, Wang Erde had secretly smuggled goods in during the process of carrying out his orders, and used Osweiler to deal a huge blow to the knights of the Myrtle Tower who had come to search for him.
This was his first official revenge since his return two years ago.
It would only get worse from now on …
Yue Sefu, who was in deep thought, came back to his senses because of Caroline's voice. "I can find the traces of the message Wang Erde just left. If we follow the clues, we can quickly find the location of his real body. Do you need me to make arrangements to cooperate with you?"
The charming beauty in professional attire said this, but the word "relief" was written all over her face. To be honest, she was relieved when she saw that the battle hadn't really started.
This was the central area. If two Annihilation Grades were to fight, the logistics department would be under a lot of pressure. If the sleeping ones were disturbed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the Myrtle Tower would also be held accountable.
However, from this point of view, Wang Erde was probably afraid, which was why he only used flesh puppets this time.
Yue Sefu shook his head and said, "Even if we go there now, he must have set up an ambush, or he will definitely hide before we arrive. Even if we find his location, it will be useless … This time, the Intelligence Department's operation was a complete failure. I can't let my subordinates face greater risks under such circumstances."
They were indeed opponents who understood each other the best. They knew each other well in every aspect.
However, to prevent Osweiler's faction from making preparations in advance, this operation was basically led by the Intelligence Department. There were no professionals from the Combat Department involved, so their overall combat power was obviously insufficient.
And Wang Erde's move was very fatal. It directly reduced the Intelligence Department's strength by more than half.
Especially Ke Laode … Yue Sefu's only disciple, who had almost died at the hands of Osweiler. At this moment, Yue Sefu's heart was filled with the accumulated anger of old and new hatred, as well as a deep sense of lingering fear.
It was reasonable that he couldn't take any more risks.
Caroline nodded and comforted him, "He will definitely make another move. When you return to the position of Glorious Grand Knight and take charge of the Combat Department again, it will be the time of Wang Erde's death."
Yue Sefu frowned and remembered Wang Erde's words again. Why was Osweiler able to stay in the position of Glorious Grand Knight for so many years?
If there was really a member of the Elder Council behind him, then after Osweiler's death, what would he do to the next successor?
"The return of Yue Sefu" seemed to be a matter of course in everyone's eyes, but what if all this was under the manipulation of someone with ulterior motives?
"No," Yue Sefu whispered, "I once promised Winston that I wouldn't compete with him for the position of chief of the Combat Department. A knight can't go back on his word."
Caroline was stunned, "Then what do you think?"
"Osweiler was originally from the Cultivation Department, right? In that case, I'll take his place. "
Yue Sefu said, "As for the position of chief of the Intelligence Department, after Ke Laode recovers from his injuries, I'll give it to him. He has grown enough to be independent."
"I believe that the Elder Council should accept my idea."
After saying that, Yue Sefu skipped the topic and said, "You can continue the work that was interrupted just now. Information about Osweiler …"
You should be holding back, right?
Yue Sefu said with a deep gaze. He stretched out his hand, and the two golden words "Bookstore" appeared in his hand.
Caroline was shocked. Then, she hesitated for a moment and nodded. Facing Osweiler's corpse, she continued to explore the information contained in it …
