Chapter 123: The Intuition of the White Silk Knight!

In the basement room of the gang.

At this moment, no one dared to make a sound.

Morivec and his elite subordinates, who had received the orthodox education of the Cateline gangs—no matter what happens, when it comes to the Empress, the Empress is first.

Yes, the Empress is first.

It is precisely because the Empress is first that the Cateline gangs can unite.

Although some gangs have now adopted the rhetoric of a certain mysterious figure by Elisa’s side, for the godfather behind Morivec, any important intelligence their gang obtains is first reported to the Cateline intelligence department.

Now that Morivec had seen this special envelope, which the godfather had said was a symbol of his cooperation with that person, it was kept in the godfather’s office, sealed in a special magic bottle.

It was said that as long as one used this to send a letter, the other party would know the news.

The black-haired youth in front of him had this, which meant his relationship with Her Majesty was not shallow.

“As you have guessed, I am indeed a collaborator with her.”

Hall sat down in Morivec’s seat.

Morivec was not angry at his action, but rather, he felt that this foreign youth was the master of this underground room.

Hall also knew the rules, and in a manner similar to the godfather in the game, he picked up the steel pen on the table, tapped the table with its end, and then asked.

“Morivec, was it Saint Gregory’s people who asked you to make a move on Christine?”

At present, there were two suspects.

One was Saint Gregory, who wanted Christine, who had successfully completed her Bal trip after Ilora’s attack, to also be unable to successfully complete her Bal trip.

The second was the third prince, who, resentful, had the Lauren family send people to deal with him.

But the deputy mayor’s performance seemed not only indifferent, but he also just treated Christine as a blessing tool.

Besides, the Lauren family was probably busy dealing with Frida, so it was obviously not appropriate for them to make an enemy of another cardinal.

And in the game, Saint Gregory’s faction was a major mid-game enemy in Christine’s route before the Saintess election.

This kind of using other forces to deal with one’s own people was very much in line with his style.

If pushed, he might even resort to assassination.

“That’s right, Specialist William.”

“How much did they give you?”

“A box of gold coins as a deposit, probably nearly ten thousand.”

Morivec gave a signal, and his subordinate opened the box in the corner.

Hall saw the glittering gold and thought of the money he still needed to buy a property in Sunset City.

So he said, “As a punishment, I want half of the deposit.”

Hearing this, Morivec was relieved.

He had thought Hall would take it all.

Anyway, it was free money.

If Hall wanted half, he would give him half.

“I wonder what is your relationship with Her Majesty of Cateline?”

“I have cooperated with her before. We went through a life-and-death situation in the seventieth floor of the Demon God’s Labyrinth. It can be said to be a life-and-death friendship. That’s why she gave me this communication envelope.”

Hall said mysteriously.

He was not strictly bragging.

When dealing with Rhys, Sophia and he had indeed cooperated.

“I see.”

Morivec felt that Hall was not just a simple elite specialist of the Black Knights.

The not-so-good relationship between the Papal State and Cateline was known to all.

For Hall to be able to get Her Majesty’s exclusive envelope.

He must have helped Her Majesty.

“So now, old board, are you going to help Saint Gregory, or help me?”

Hall pretended to apply pressure.

Morivec frowned.

Being loyal to the empress was a Cateline quality.

But he wasn’t stupid.

He couldn’t kill Hall now, but he had also taken a box of gold coins from the church.

If he went back on his word now, he might be at odds with a cardinal for the rest of his life.

“Does Specialist William want us to make a move on the local bishop?”

“That won’t be necessary. This bishop is nominally under Cardinal Sigurd, but he and I have a good relationship. As long as we can let Christine carry out her blessing ceremony peacefully and leave Wolfsburg, it will be fine.”

Hall’s high EQ statement made Morivec feel very comfortable with this young man.

So he reached for the hidden Cateline wine and was about to become sworn brothers with Hall.

“Hall, you’re not avoiding it. He’s very fast, he basically doesn’t get drunk.”

“He’s been drinking for half a day. Morivec said, ‘Brother William, this is mainly for the church. I definitely can’t move. But brother, I can help you kill someone.'”

“Kill someone?”

Hall feigned surprise.

“This is actually a reward given by the player in the game.”

“When he showed that Sophia’s envelope before, he had already anticipated that Morivec had everything under control.”

His SSS-rank constitution made his alcohol metabolism very fast.

Although.

“He’s so knowledgeable about our gang’s ways. He should also know that this is the pledge of allegiance from me, brother.”

“I see.”

He pretended not to know, and then said, “But the people I want to kill, brother, are mostly not to be touched by the church. Then who is it?”

Morivec didn’t care who the target was, as long as it wasn’t something like killing the local bishop.

“The deputy mayor.”

“The deputy mayor?”

“To be honest, I have some conflict with the third prince, Charles,” Hall said faintly.

Morivec understood the reason.

He said with a somewhat troubled look, “The force behind the deputy mayor is the Lauren family, where Charles’s mother is from.”

“You can team up with the mayor’s forces to deal with the deputy mayor. Just say it’s Frida’s idea. You can also get rid of a target yourself, brother.”

“Are you also related to Princess Frida?” Morivec was shocked.

His tone also changed directly from “brother” to “sir.”

“We have some connection. Anyway, it’s a favor. Your gang and the mayor will both benefit from getting rid of him. It’s a win-win.”

Hall gave a simple explanation.

“This is not just a favor. It’s simply dragging Frida down with him.”

The deeper reason was that if Frida and the Lauren family turned against each other, the chaos in the Bal Empire would be something to be willingly accepted.

And even if a trigger appeared, the power of Frida and the Lauren family would surely be a long process of at least a few years.

And a few years later, the East-West continent war would break out again.

Frida would be even less interested in the situation of the gangs here.

“And after that?”

After that, Hall didn’t even know if he could survive the game’s plot, which was a deadline locked in time.

What did it matter if the floodgates opened after he was gone?

Now, letting Frida and the Lauren family’s attention be on the north of Bal, they would not interfere in the affairs of West Town.

After the events of the past few days, the arrival of Himan, and the appearance of the vampire prince, he and Malik were no strangers.

Hall increasingly felt that if he accompanied Christine, this was the game.

The plot was about to reach a climax.

When the plot reached a small climax, the map would show a red dot marking the [stage], requiring the player to go and solve it immediately.

If it was not solved, it would force a bad end.

And Hall understood that the stage of this climax was very likely West Town.

This was a place that could not be avoided in the route where the player wanted to conquer the Bal Empire.

When Hall had finalized the assassination plan for the deputy mayor with Morivec.

In the royal city of the imperial capital of Bal.

Himan and Parousia had just come out of Frida’s residence.

Himan’s impression of Frida was very good.

She felt that this eldest princess was just like her media-reported persona.

Beautiful, intelligent, self-reliant, and concerned about the people’s livelihood.

If Frida were a man, Frida would surely succeed the old king as the next monarch of Bal.

But this was actually just Frida showing this persona in front of Himan, a righteous female knight, and had agreed to some of Himan’s requests as a foreign princess.

For example, helping to find Hall Faxtius.

Frida had heard of Hall.

She had known about Hall for a long time.

Hall was quite famous in Saint Louis, but when she was about to pay attention to Hall, the Holy Son had appeared.

Frida instantly felt that Hall was uninteresting.

In this generation, there was no young man more outstanding than the Holy Son.

But at this time, Frida had already disposed of the Holy Son.

So she had no interest in Hall, who was in the midst of a scandal at the time.

Recently, Hall’s reputation had gradually spread to her ears again.

She considered that Hall’s father, Duke Faxtius, was guarding the border between Bal and the Papal State.

She was also slightly interested in having Hall come and be her tool.

But the Holy Son and the Angel had appeared before her together.

She instantly had no interest in Hall again, and was wholeheartedly trying to poach the Holy Son from Christine’s side.

But after hearing Himan’s description of Hall and her complaints about him.

Frida lay on her big bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking.

She was so smart, she had long since guessed what was going on.

In Himan’s description, Hall had black hair and black eyes, good swordsmanship, was a little handsome, and in Himan’s complaints, he had a good relationship with Christine, Leticia, and other girls, and even had a fiancée.

Frida thought about it carefully and understood.

What relationship did Christine and the Holy Son have?

They were childhood friends, inseparable.

Christine would never be interested in other men of the same age, even those who were not worthy of being Christine’s tool.

Flirting?

Could it be that Hall was the Holy Son?

That so-called William Russell was actually Hall Faxtius.

Considering that the other party had the authority of the Black Knights, she had long suspected that it was a fake name.

And Russell was the family of the Faxtius family’s in-laws.

With a little thought, one could know.

“Hehe, a bit interesting…”

Since Himan had seen Christine at the train station, Hall must have been on the scene, but he had not chosen to see Himan, but had hidden from his cousin.

Because she found it very interesting, Frida did not tell Himan the truth, but just pretended to agree to Himan.

Then she thought with a chuckle.

“I’ll reveal this to Hall first and see what his reaction is. It might be a good handle.”

“What’s your name?”

“…My name is Lucy, didn’t Miss Himan hear me just now?”

In the corridor of the royal city.

As a knight, her sense of responsibility made Himan feel that Parousia was suspicious.

Just as they were about to part at the main gate.

Based on her intuition, she didn’t want to let Parousia leave so easily.

If Parousia was really a vampire, then her mission to Bal had made a major breakthrough.

But she also thought it was too ridiculous for a vampire to dare to go to Frida with her.

Even if the vampires were arrogant, didn’t Frida, who might be cooperating with the vampires, understand?

This blatant behavior made her doubt her judgment.

“Oh, Miss Lucy. But when you just came to communicate with Princess Frida, it looked like you were not a local of Bal.”

“Yes, I come from the Papal State.”

Parousia was not stupid, but in the face of her Prince’s mission, she was still thinking hard about how to answer Himan.

And said, “If Miss Himan doubts me, you can go to the train station and check the schedule from a few days ago. I came to the imperial capital of Bal with Specialist William and Miss Christine.”

“You came with Christine? But who is this Specialist William?”

Himan was puzzled.

Could it be that she had suspected Parousia wrongly?

Then if she had contact with Christine, if Parousia was really a vampire, she would surely be arrested on the spot.

Sigh, she must have overthought it.

Thinking of this, Himan simply said goodbye to Parousia.

Because Christine had gone to Wolfsburg in the morning, she couldn’t possibly chase after her.

Thinking of this, Himan had no more clues.

But she also understood that if the vampires were to appear again, it was very likely they would attack Christine.

Only when she appeared could she investigate.

As for confirming the matter of the Bal Empire’s royal family cooperating with the vampires, because her impression of Frida was good, she couldn’t just go and say she suspected them.

“Forget it. Since West Town is closest to the vampires’ territory and is also the last stop of the imperial capital’s trip, I’ll go there and see.”

The next morning.

Saint Louis.

Hall had been gone for over a week.

Moyel stayed by Leticia’s side every day to console her.

Although her lady didn’t cry or make a fuss, Moyel knew that Leticia missed Hall very much.

After all, during the New Year, the Child family was also busy with socializing.

Leticia had to meet with the thousands of core members of her clan and couldn’t find time to look for Hall.

When she had free time, it was just two days before Ye Wangxue was about to leave.

Moyel suggested that Leticia wait a little longer, until Ye Wangxue returned to her country.

How could she steal him then?

But things did not go as planned.

What was there to steal?

If he was stolen, where would he have run off to?

You wouldn’t be able to find Hall again.

She had run off with her long legs.

So Moyel waited in the backyard every day.

She was not afraid of any enemies now, but just to not cause trouble for Leticia and to see Hall sooner.

“Sigh… damn Hall! What about that energy he had when he was flirting with my lady?”

As the one who protected Leticia, the enemies that the Child family could handle with money were not a problem.

But Hall’s emotional affairs were not so easy to say.

There was nothing she could do.

Really nothing.

She had used the Child family’s travel reports these past few days, and that photo was taken during Christine’s ceremony.

Hall’s silhouette was in a Silver Knight’s uniform.

This inevitably made Moyel suspicious.

To be honest, this attire and the governor’s standard skill, she stared at the already blurry photo for half a day.

“Lady Moyel, this is the latest investigation report. We have locked onto a suspicious person, but we cannot confirm.”

Had Hall run away with a fake identity?

The people from the Child family’s intelligence department found it amusing.

And Moyel, who was depressed at the end of the long corridor of the Child family, her expression was a little excited.

“Who?”

“It’s a so-called Specialist William. He is currently Saintess Candidate Christine’s guard. We have investigated his travel details, and the date of his disappearance is very similar to Hall’s. And although the photo of the person can only see his silhouette, it looks very much like him.”

Moyel quickly snatched it over and then looked at the photo after the blessing ceremony was completed.

The list of passengers of the Holy Train had been prepared long ago.

Hall was not there at all.

Could it be that he had really forged an identity to be Christine’s guard?

Moyel had ordered the list of passengers of the Holy Train to be brought over.

About ten minutes later, the list was delivered to her.

“He really brought his little… what?”

Then she saw Lov Russell beside William Russell.

“She’s not a pushover, I knew it! That man ran away? If I had known about this Lov Russell, I would have known…”

Moyel was very anxious.

When she had discussed with Himan where Hall had gone, she had been very anxious about Hall and Lov’s disappearance.

Leticia had even thought that Lov had gone back to her hometown.

She had never thought of that.

Now that she had confirmed that Lov was with Hall.

What would happen between a lone man and woman…

“Give me more intelligence.”

After giving this order, the people from the intelligence department went to get more intelligence.

Moyel looked around again and gradually calmed down.

According to the train schedule, Hall had arrived in Saint Olan.

And Hall’s private network had also not found Hall’s record, because before this, Hall and Lov had no chance of that kind of thing happening.

And that day, Ilora was attacked, and that so-called William had become Christine’s supervisor.

It should…

It should be fine.

Christine was a Saintess Candidate, but Hall’s goal was questionable.

What if Hall had deliberately gotten involved in Ilora’s attack to be lazy?

Moyel felt that Hall was sometimes very stubborn.

With Hall’s past personality of ambushing Himan, he had chosen to be leisurely.

Although she didn’t want to admit her strength, hadn’t she not been ruthless to her when she had ambushed Hall before?

That time, she might have been counter-killed.

That man still had a gentleman’s demeanor in such a place…

It was hard to say.

She shook her head in frustration.

After all, the Bal Empire was not very peaceful recently.

Moyel began to actively imagine things.

She was afraid that Leticia would go and find Hall.

Then she thought of a more important thing.

The incident that night?

And that was whether she should tell Leticia the current situation.

And the next morning, the fortress of Wolf was detonated.

Because last night, the deputy mayor was assassinated on his way home.

Lov had gone on vacation to a foreign country.

Why had Hall been on the train all this time?
