You call this the mastermind?

Because he had known for a long time that a certain truth believer would come to find him because of what happened in the wasteland.

So Mellen was not surprised when he heard the news.

He didn't think it was a big deal to meet the other party. At most, he would just repeat what he said to fool Juliana before.

"But why is he so interested in the light of the sun?"

With this curiosity in mind, Mellen came to the living room and sat opposite the other party.

The middle-aged man named Guderian has a good appearance, with two neat beards on his lips, wearing a neat white tuxedo, and hanging on his chest is a silver pocket watch that gentlemen of this era generally chose as an accessory.

When he spoke while sitting in the brightly lit living room, his tone was calm and powerful, and he seemed full of grace.

The questions he asked were, as expected, related to Mellen's previous experiences in that desolate world.

Seems to take this very seriously.

However, after Mellen told some of the details "truthfully", this seemingly good truth believer did not immediately choose to say goodbye and leave.

After pondering for a moment, he instead raised a somewhat inexplicable topic.

"I would like to ask, how many direct brothers and sisters do you have?"

Ever since we met, this guy has always been so polite when talking.

However, this question seems a bit strange right now...

"I have an older brother."

Mellen told the truth.

Although the man in front of him was a stranger, he had nothing to hide, and he didn't bother to lie.

But then, the second question asked by the other party made him even more puzzled.

"Are you engaged?"

"Yes, I have."

Mellen still answered truthfully.

Although it was at the teacher's house, he was not prepared to hide the matter.

Because since the "future mother-in-law" is good friends with the teacher, the teacher may have already known about her engagement with her "cousin".

This doesn't affect anything.

Because compared to the engagement, it was much more difficult for him to break through the master-disciple relationship.

However, what makes Melen wonder is whether he is engaged or not, and what does it have to do with the person in front of him?

Could it be that he fell in love with her and wanted to give her daughter to him as his wife?

In this case, it is understandable to ask about family status...

Just as Mellen was thinking this, he heard the other party ask the third question.

"So, do you plan to enter a wizard school for further study in the future, or do you have other ideas?"

Mellen frowned upon hearing this.

Of course he is going to school, but for what purpose does the person in front of him ask this?

Why did he seem to be interested in himself after asking about the details about that desolate world?

"Did he discover something?"

Somewhat alert to this, Mellen glanced at the short follower sitting next to him from the corner of his eye.

The attendant was very short and looked like a child when he sat there.

However, he looks very mature, with a beard, but a bald forehead, which makes him look thickly haired and pitiful at the same time.

But overall, he is not very impressive.

Except for the fact that when he first saw him, he sprayed tea all over the old housekeeper for no apparent reason, he stayed there honestly for the rest of the time, and nothing unusual was seen.

However, Mellen didn't think his previous answer revealed any problems.

But Guderian's current attitude seems to be that he has some kind of evidence, and he is starting to ask questions about himself...

This seems unusual.

If the clues didn't come from his own mouth, then of course they were observed from other sources.

Mellen felt that his disguise was pretty good.

Because the control brought by the master breathing method and the memory related to the knight's inheritance can allow him to freely disguise his physical characteristics.

Unless the other party can fight with you, it is unlikely that the problem will be discovered.

At least Guderian didn't seem to find anything wrong with him last time.

Otherwise he wouldn't come this second time.

So, does the key to the matter lie with this short man wearing a pair of strange glasses?

The thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly. On the surface, Mellen just frowned and thought for a moment before responding hesitantly:

"Of course I entered a wizard school, but I'm not sure about that yet. I mean, my foundation is not very good..."

Guderian nodded when he heard this, but he didn't realize that he just asked a few more questions before the black-haired boy in front of him alertly noticed something unusual.

So he started asking about other things.

It mainly revolves around Mellen, such as his ideals and aspirations, learning goals, what books he likes to read, and even personal aesthetics.

The reason for asking these questions was not that he found more clues, but that he was stalling for time. Because his companions never gave him any signals.

Except for being startled at first, he was silent the rest of the time.

In other words, when he looked at Melen indifferently, his attitude seemed very strange.

Guderian still knew his companions very well, so he felt that this strangeness did not seem like he had confirmed anything, nor did he feel like he was really scared.

Instead... it seemed like I had seen an acquaintance whom I had not seen for a long time, but I was not sure yet?

He was surprised by this, but more importantly, he was helpless.

Because since his companion didn't give him a clear signal, he had to keep asking.

But he and Mellen were not familiar with each other. Besides expressing interest in each other as a person, what other topics could he ask?

Fortunately, when he himself began to doubt whether someone had discovered something was wrong with his questioning, his companion quietly poked him, indicating that it was over.

So he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and said goodbye to the other party with a smile on his face.

"How's it going? Did you see something clearly?"

As soon as he left the living room, Guderian asked in a low voice.

"There's something wrong with him..."

The short middle-aged man with a beard replied with a strange expression.

"Isn't he a senior knight?" Guderian frowned.

If he is a high-ranking knight, he should be the elect, but if he is the elect, his companions cannot react this way.

"This...it's hard to say."

The short middle-aged man touched his beard as he spoke.

"I just discovered that he seemed to be an old acquaintance of mine."

"Old acquaintance?"

Guderian was surprised when he heard this, "He is so young, how could he be an old acquaintance of yours?"

"That's why I watched it for so long."

The bearded man said: "Otherwise, what do you think I'm wondering about?"

"All right……"

Things seemed to be developing in a strange direction.

Guderian asked thoughtfully, "Then who does he look like?"

"Anthony."

The bearded man replied, "Anthony Locke."

This name made Guderian frown, and then said without hesitation: "This is impossible, you must have read it wrong!"

"I don't think it's possible either."

The companion replied helplessly: "But I saw the shadow of Anthony in him."

"What about others? Have you seen any other clues?"

"No, I didn't see anything except the fat man..."

Saying this, the short middle-aged man known as the master of fraud suddenly laughed softly.

"But coming here today is a worthwhile trip. Although I don't know how Anthony became this young man, his wife is looking for him all over the world."

"We can definitely take this information and exchange it with her for a large amount of money..."

Guderian said nothing after hearing this.

Because he simply didn't believe what his companions saw.

This was not just because he knew full well that Anthony was dead.

What's more, this is completely different from the information he intuitively learned.

In his intuition, the young man was a lively, energetic person with some mysterious qualities.

How could his temperament and conversation have any trace of that eunuch?

So after thinking carefully, Guderian suddenly turned around and walked towards the living room.

"What are you going to do?"

The middle-aged man with a beard who was thinking about making a lot of money was surprised when he saw this, "Did you leave something in there?"

"Voters are crucial and can increase the success rate of the ceremony, which will begin in two days."

Guderian replied, "I must take the opportunity to determine his true identity."

"Didn't I already tell you that he is An——"

The words stopped suddenly, and the bearded face turned to panic.

Because the companion in sight had instantly disappeared from the spot, turned into a pale shadow, and rushed towards the black-haired boy who had just walked out of the living room!

"What a madman!"

The incident happened so suddenly that it caught people off guard.

After scolding in annoyance, the bearded man raised his hand without hesitation to crush a black gem pendant on his wrist, and then launched a surprise attack!
