Han Dong did not report the information he observed through the little magic eye.
Celeste also kept it a secret.
After all, the little magic eye could not hide it completely. If the information was leaked, it might expose Han Dong's secret.
The interrogation ended.
Ares was sent to the church area by the Holy Pure Knights to receive high-level protection.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, they would search Ares' memories in an attempt to obtain crucial information.
…
Third Floor of the Holy City, Royal Tavern.
Han Dong and the others gathered in a private room and told Cass about Ares' situation.
"It's already the best case scenario that Father's problem was discovered and suppressed in time. Ever since Father entered the [Author] profession, everyone in the family has been mentally prepared. I hope Father is safe and sound."
In front of his friends, Cass put on a sunny smile as much as possible.
Sophia sat at the side with a dejected expression as she tugged at Cass' sleeve.
She had secretly gone to Cass' house no less than five times. This Viscount Ares was very good to her. He had joked many times about how the two of them were "very compatible."
Celeste said solemnly, "That's right.
"This incident is far beyond the scope of your understanding.
The things that the [Author] is involved in are far from what you can imagine. Even I can't handle this incident … Don't think too much about it. Viscount Ares has made great contributions to the Holy City, and the higher-ups will do their best to ensure his safety.
Cass, you should stay in the Knight Academy for the time being.
If anything happens to your father, the higher-ups will inform you immediately.
However, please be prepared for the worst. "
At this moment, Han Dong patted Cass' shoulder and suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Cass, thank you for helping me deal with those troublesome trainee knights in the dormitory area. I'll go back to the Mystery Branch first."
"Brother Lon, leave this matter to the higher-ups. I'm already very grateful that you were able to save my father in time last night."
"Okay … I understand."
Han Dong waved his hand and left the tavern alone.
Staring at Han Dong's back as he left alone, Celeste seemed to have realized something. Not long after, she also left the tavern.
…
Han Dong was about to report to Mr. Black And White.
"It's necessary to let Mr. Black And White know about the 'mysterious man' I saw through Little Magic Eye.
Otherwise, even if it was handed over to the higher-ups to investigate, it would be difficult to find the source without key evidence and details.
Mr. Black And White will definitely be able to find out the truth and ensure Viscount Alex's safety. "
Han Dong hailed a steam-powered carriage and prepared to return to school.
As soon as he got into the car, he was stunned.
This was the second time something like this had happened.
Another person appeared in the car. It was Mr. Black And White, who was wearing a black robe, a hood, and a black mask.
"Sir!! I was just about to return to the Mystery Branch to report important information about this incident to you. "
"Tell me about the important information you 'saw'."
"Alright …"
Han Dong recounted all the details of the incident without missing a single word.
Mr. Black And White was moved when he heard that the mysterious yellow-robed man had urged Viscount Alex to sleepwalk.
"Yellow Robe, an existence of this level is personally taking action? I wonder if it's its true body that descended? A clone? Or a high-level believer? "
"Sir, what's the origin of the mysterious yellow-robed man?" Han Dong was also curious.
Mr. Black And White explained simply:
"This involves the basic system of life outside the city, and it's quite complicated to explain.
All you need to know now is that most of the life outside the city that has been trying to invade and harass the Holy City are soldiers, equivalent to ordinary knights on our side.
And this yellow-robed man is equivalent to one of their leaders, an existence at the level of the 'Great Plague Leader'. "
"The same level as the Great Plague Leader?!"
"It's just a comparison. If it's really the yellow-robed man's true body, the Great Plague Leader definitely won't be able to deal with him alone."
At this moment, Mr. Black And White suddenly reached out and stopped the coachman.
The carriage stopped in front of the Maldini Family's mansion.
"Sir, you want to investigate this matter personally?"
"Yes … with your eyes, you should be able to find the source.
If this incident isn't handled properly, similar incidents will happen in the future … If the author community is damaged, the impact on the Holy City will be too great.
Let's go, we'll go to the mansion again. "
"Okay!"
Just as Han Dong stepped out of the carriage, a familiar female voice came from beside him.
"Nicholas, I knew you would take the risk to come back! Hurry up and leave … Even if you're not afraid of corruption, this matter isn't something you can handle. "
Celeste seemed to be "quite concerned" about him.
Han Dong was about to explain something when Celeste continued, "Go back and tell the Crow Prophet about the special information you saw … Their higher-ups will naturally think of a way to deal with it. You've already done enough."
"Uh, that …"
Han Dong was about to explain.
The second passenger in the carriage walked down.
Under the mask, a pair of crow-like eyes looked over … causing Celeste to feel a chill all over her body.
"Crow Prophet!!"
Celeste habitually bowed out of knight etiquette.
Unexpectedly, a dark shadow energy wrapped around her body, preventing her from bowing.
An index finger was placed on the mask, and a voice echoed in Celeste's mind.
"Covert operation … Do you want to come along?"
"Okay!"
To be able to act together with Mr. Black And White was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Sir! The Holy Knights have already sealed off the mansion. Do you want me to bring you in? "
"No need. There are only three knights patrolling the interior … This is a covert operation. No one can know about it."
As he spoke, three black crows flew out from his palm.
Not long after, the crows drilled into the back of the patrolling knight's head … This prevented them from seeing Mr. Black And White and the others, but their other senses and movements were not affected.
Moreover, as Mr. Black And White and the others entered …
The three patrolling knights also left the mansion area at the same time.
Celeste could only swallow her saliva in shock at Mr. Black And White's move.
"Let's go to the backyard first."
Everyone went straight to the open space where Ares had "sleepwalked" and dug a hole.
[Eye Opening]
The soil had been filled up.
However, Han Dong's little magic eye could see through the soil and see the special marks left behind by Ares when he was digging …
The marks of the digging were pieced together to form an array pattern that Han Dong could not understand.
"Evil array!"
Han Dong immediately took out the notebook he carried with him from his backpack and copied down the array pattern he saw. He handed it to Mr. Black And White.
"Can you activate this array?"
"I should be able to …"
Han Dong did not doubt Mr. Black And White's decision. He reached out and placed his hand on the center of the array.
"Creak …" A tentacle grew out.
The array was activated!
For a moment, a thick fog immediately covered the Maldini family's mansion.
Moreover, there was a strange sound of watering coming from the front yard. It seemed that the servants who had disappeared had returned.
"This is?" Han Dong was puzzled.
"An overlapping space created by someone … The real Viscount Ares and the disappeared servants of the Maldini family are still trapped here.
They are carrying out their final 'work'. "
"Is this the reason why all the contamination disappeared along with the servants last night?"
Hearing this.
Han Dong connected what he had seen and heard last night, the non-existent "opera house", Ares' strange state, and the array in the backyard.
He suddenly thought of something!
"Could it be that … the butler is lying?"
