You call this the mastermind?

Merlen thought Alyssa seemed a little strange.

She had sent a warning that looked very formal, but when he asked carefully, she hesitated and refused to say anything.

It was as if there was something that was difficult to say.

After asking for a long time, he still did not get a real response.

Mellen was quite speechless about this, but he could only give up temporarily and thought about asking again after the next meeting.

Then he began to look through the messages sent by others.

"Don't forget what I said before."

Mrs. Chelsea sent only one sentence, and she didn't seem to be surprised by the power displayed by the heir before.

However, considering that this person was resting in the secret room, Mellen thought she might not have seen anything.

And the lady's words naturally referred to pretending to be weak, so as not to cause fear of the heir's power being too arbitrary.

"I pretended to be unconscious and went out early tomorrow morning."

Mellen replied.

"Isabella Chelsea is actually your teacher?"

Holy Spirit Jonah also seemed not surprised by everything before, but he seemed to be very surprised by this matter.

Considering the existence of the leader of the Red Cross who wanted to surrender, Melen did not ask him where he got the news from, and of course did not respond.

When he saw the message sent by the leader, he was speechless.

"It's really a shocking scene. Although I have heard about it before, I never thought that you, who are just an heir, can do this."

"As far as I know, not all heirs can exert that kind of power."

"This flattery is really embarrassing."

Muttering like this, Melen ignored the prisoner.

Looking at the messages sent by other "friends", they are basically related to the heir.

Either asking in surprise, or half-believing and half-doubting to confirm the truth.

Martin, a little round-faced man who came from Graham City, claimed that all the students who were currently taking refuge were discussing this matter, but many of them were skeptical about it.

This is also normal. The freshmen who have not yet officially enrolled have transformed into heroes who protect Fort Saint Grant.

This kind of thing would be fine if there was some foreshadowing in advance, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was extremely abrupt.

So even though many people saw Mellen's face appear in the sky, whether he was him or not became the focus of debate.

"Of course, there are many people who stand on your side, and some even come to ask us if you have a fiancée. I have carefully observed that these people are basically from big families and are more informed."

"Kevin said that this is because they have seen something from the attitude of the school's top management, so they are not afraid of mistaking you, and they also think that you will definitely become a big figure worth winning over in the future."

Once a powerful character appears in the wizarding world, whether he is engaged is definitely the focus of discussion.

Because wizard families are used to using marriage to turn others into their own people.

And the fact that they can make such a decision not long after the incident and before in-depth investigation is enough to prove that Mellen has become a hot commodity at this time.

Just like catching a son-in-law under the list.

However, facing this situation, Melen had nothing to be proud of. After all, this treatment came from his status as the heir of Saint Grant Castle, not his own strength.

If he was powerful, it was only the people who had created Saint Grant Castle who were powerful, and it had nothing to do with Melen, who had picked up the leak.

However, feeling that his vest "Egg Wilson" was in an evolving state because of the incident and the spread of news, he did not belittle himself.

"The mysterious knight is very powerful after his birth, what about the guardian of Saint Grant Castle?"

...

What happened in Saint Grant Castle was destined to make a sensation in the entire wizarding world. The bigwigs from all sides got a lot of news and inside information in advance before the newspapers were published.

But not everyone's attention was attracted by this matter.

Granny Caesar, deputy commander of the Crusaders of the Church of the Night, the most trusted friend of Pope Chris VI, a top hunter, was known as the Hand of God.

He was not a wizard, but his network of relationships spread throughout the wizarding world.

In the past, everything that happened in Fort Saint Grant would have attracted his attention, because Caesar's famous battle was caused by the pirate king William breaking through the Abyss Tower, and there were even many dirty things between the two sides.

And now, the pirate leader has taken action again.

It's just a pity that he has no time to care about him at the moment.

Caesar, wrapped in special bandages, is lying in a quiet bedroom at the moment. Next to him is a chubby brown-haired girl who keeps wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. She is busy and panic-stricken.     But this behavior is doomed to be futile.

The sweat has soaked a pile of handkerchiefs, and the water stains wrung out even fill a whole washbasin, but the water in Caesar's body seems endless, constantly oozing out, and it can't be wiped clean.

At this time, there is another person standing next to the bed.

He was dressed in a neat white gentleman's suit, with two smooth mustaches on his lips, staring at Caesar's forehead with a serious expression.

It was Guderian, a true believer.

Guderian was ordered to find Caesar, the key figure involved in the second sacrifice, a while ago, and found that Caesar was on the verge of running out of oil.

There are a lot of curses on his body that corrode his already limited life, and he may die at any time.

Fortunately, the old bishop who sent Guderian here anticipated this situation in advance.

So Guderian, who carried many special potions and healing items, successfully suppressed most of the injuries in Caesar's body.

Unfortunately, although the other ones have temporarily had no effect, this remaining "withering curse" is like a thorn in the side, and no matter what means he uses, it is difficult to completely eradicate it.

"Who did you provoke with such a powerful curse?"

He couldn't help asking.

"I, after I die, help, help take care of her."

Caesar, who was lying on the bed, did not answer the question, but said this sentence with difficulty, "Please, please!"

She was referring to the fat girl who was busy around the bed.

After looking at the other party, Guderian was a little confused. Why could this ordinary-looking girl in front of him, who could even be said to be not in line with the aesthetics of ordinary people, be favored by Caesar, and even couldn't let go of her before dying?

But he didn't have any gossiping thoughts, so he said, "You know, only a living Caesar will be valuable to us. If you really can't make it, she can only pray for good luck."

"She, she is pregnant..."

Caesar was so weak that he was confused, and even said something very "naive".

"Please!"

Guderian sighed.

A big man who was once so glorious seemed so powerless and weak in the face of death, which made him feel sad for no reason.

So facing the other party's pleading and even slightly begging gaze, he hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

The fat girl on the side saw this and burst into tears, but the patient lying on the bed twitched his mouth and smiled with relief.

Guderian, who instantly became an outsider, got up silently and chose to leave the bedroom.

After coming to the living room outside, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Obviously, this mission has failed.

After all, Caesar has already arranged his funeral, so how can he survive?

He came a step late after all.

"It seems that the second sacrifice can only be planned in another way."

He thought secretly, feeling a headache.

The truth believers took a fancy to Caesar not because of his strength as a top hunter, but because of his identity as the deputy commander of the Crusaders and his deep trust in the Pope.

But if Caesar is gone, where can they find a candidate who meets the requirements and can be won over by them in a short time?

"Ask him to recite the third prayer of fate before he dies."

Holding the last glimmer of hope, he contacted Bishop Luca, but the other party replied with this sentence.

"If he is lucky enough, he can get the favor of the child of destiny."

The third prayer...

Guderian looked strange because of this.

The third prayer, also known as the death prayer, is an article that the truth believers generally recite before dying. It is said that in this way, they can get the call of fate more clearly, and if they are lucky, they can even ask for mercy and then come back to life.

However, for thousands of years, the Son of Destiny has never come to the world, so this prayer has never worked.

In recent days, after the first sacrifice, there have been different signs, but the situation of being pitied has never appeared.

If this is the case with his own people, how could an outsider be favored?

Unless the fate of both parties has intersected, the Son of Destiny knows Caesar and even admires Caesar.

But how is this possible?
