"— — —!"
At this moment, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. Their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
The source of the chill was Rozen, who became silent, and the expression on his face completely disappeared.
"Rozen -sama!"
"Rozen!"
"Rozen!"
Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki called out and seemed to want to approach, but they were stopped by Rozen's raised hand.
Rozen released his hand holding the holy lance and looked at Astrid blankly.
However, Rozen's performance made Astrid's heart burn with a glimmer of hope.
Because …
"Have you been looking for it? The truth of Akabane Clan's destruction! "
Astrid hurriedly spoke up.
"I know the truth of Akabane Clan's destruction, as long as you don't kill me!"
The implication was that Astrid was ready to use that information as a condition to negotiate with Rozen.
But Astrid guessed one thing wrong.
"Indeed, I have been looking for the truth of Akabane Clan's destruction." Rozen said lightly, "But how do you know that I don't know the truth yet?"
"This …" Astrid was startled at first, then murmured, "Do you still think it was Akabane Tenzen who destroyed Akabane Clan?"
Of course not.
Rozen has long known that Akabane Tenzen could not be the real murderer.
"Although that guy is ready to take all the blame on himself, he didn't think that I am no longer a kid who doesn't know anything."
Rozen's tone was extremely indifferent.
"In the past, in the ruins of Akabane Clan, he told me that the reason why he destroyed Akabane Clan was to use Crimson Wing's Blood to create the Forbidden Doll, that is, Divine Mechanism."
But now, Rozen was very clear that that was impossible.
"If Crimson Wing's Blood can create Divine Mechanism, then Divine Mechanism would have come out a long time ago."
Although Crimson Wing's Blood was special, in this world, there were individuals and bloodlines that were more special than Crimson Wing's Blood. If Crimson Wing's Blood could make Divine Mechanism appear, then others must have already researched Divine Mechanism, and they wouldn't have waited until now to pursue it.
Divine Mechanism was a doll made by imitating God, or God itself. How could it be so easy to create Divine Mechanism by relying on the bloodline of Far East Island Country?
Therefore, that reason, in Rozen's opinion, was pure nonsense.
Not to mention …
"At that time, Akabane Tenzen hadn't even reached the final stage of the magus. Even if he was a genius, his strength was at most at the level of the Thirteen in this academy. Is it possible to destroy the entire Akabane Clan with that kind of strength?"
It was impossible.
Akabane Clan was a puppet family. Even if at that time, puppets were not fully popularized in Japan, and they could only use refined puppets to fight, with Crimson Wing Formation and Puppet Technique, the strength of the Akabane Clan was not inferior to the powerful puppeteers.
The strength of such a clan was not to be feared by the world, but it was impossible to destroy it alone. Even if Edward Rutherford came with Raymond Geidon, it was almost impossible to destroy the entire Akabane Clan.
As a result, Akabane Tenzen, who hadn't learned Eye of the Mind at that time, single-handedly destroyed the Akabane Clan, which was unreasonable.
Unless …
"Akabane Tenzen has a helper. In other words, there's another mastermind behind the extermination of the family."
Rozen looked straight at Astrid.
"If I'm not mistaken, the mastermind behind the scenes should be Izanagi Clan, right?"
Rozen's words made the girls gasp, and Astrid's eyes widened.
Obviously, Astrid did not expect that Rozen even guessed the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, it was not difficult to guess at all.
"In Country R, apart from the military, only Izanagi, the old enemy of the Akabane clan, can exterminate the Akabane clan."
Rozen ignored everyone's astonishment, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his tone was still indifferent.
"Moreover, before the Akabane Clan was destroyed, there were already some clues between the two clans."
That was something Rozen discovered when he was young.
For example …
"Why does Izanagi want to marry Akabane Clan?"
Rozen still remembered when he was still training in the Akabane Clan, one day, Akabane Clan and Izanagi decided to marry each other.
Izanagi was going to marry the princess of his clan to the Akabane Clan, which was their enemy. That was why Rozen and Raizen went to the Izanagi Clan's base camp with their family, where they met Hinowa, Subara, and Romulan.
At that time, Rozen had already suspected that Izanagi was the pillar of the country, and behind him was the country itself. It could be said that he was the royal family of the Far East Island Country. Why would such a royal family want to marry the princess of the Akabane Clan, the future heir of Izanagi Clan to the Akabane Clan, which was not only an enemy, but also a mercenary clan that had been expelled from the political center?
Logically or emotionally, this shouldn't have happened.
"If Izanagi is interested in Akabane Tenzen's talent and wants to make him his son-in-law, that's understandable, but in the end, he is willing to choose between me and Raizen, which is unreasonable in itself."
At that time, although Rozen was talented, he did not have the Crimson Wing's Blood. He was just an adopted son, and there was no reason for him to marry the princess.
At that time, although Raizen was the descendant of Akabane who inherited the Crimson Wing's Blood, he had no talent in magic, and it was impossible for him to be chosen by Izanagi.
There were a lot of people in Izanagi Clan who were extremely dissatisfied with this matter. Rozen never forgot the hostility and hostility of the people in Izanagi Clan at that time, which proved that the marriage was opposed, but in the end, it was still pushed forward, which was really puzzling.
So, combining all the signs, and thinking of Magnus's words, "Don't trust Izanagi," how could Rozen not guess that Izanagi was behind all this?
There were only three things that Rozen didn't understand.
"Why does Izanagi want to destroy the Akabane Clan?"
That was the first question.
Akabane Clan and Izanagi were indeed enemies, and they hated each other for thousands of years. In the era of mechanical civilization, Akabane Clan's Crimson Wing Formation and Puppet Technique would be put to good use. Izanagi was likely to feel threatened and wanted to get rid of Akabane in advance, which was not impossible.
However, in that case, there was a second question.
"Why does Izanagi want to marry Akabane?"
That was another thing that he didn't understand.
