Mystery: Start with the Reader

Queens Borough, Thordrak Palace.

George III, wearing a crown and a resolute face, listened seriously to the report of the Earl of the Palace in front of him. After the other party finished telling the latest information about Edsac, he raised his hand and interrupted:

"In other words, a witch of unknown origin took Edsac away?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Earl of the Palace replied with his head lowered.

"Have you asked the representative sent by the 'Witch Sect'?" George III asked expressionlessly.

"Ms. Panatia has been confirmed to have been erased by the Sealed Artifact '0-17' of the Church of the Night...so..." The Earl of the Palace did not dare to look at His Majesty the King's face and said instead, "However, we have a target of suspicion. .”

George III did not speak, but looked condescendingly at the Earl, waiting for his answer.

The Earl of the Palace hurriedly continued: "There are two witches who are the most suspicious... One is Leland, the youngest son of the former Count Lorena. He... No, she and Prince Edsac are childhood friends, and there is every reason to be like this. Take the prince away...

"The other is 'Vice Admiral Disease' Tracy. She was rescued by Prince Edsac after the 'Daniel Maze' incident in the Southern Continent, and she also has reasons for action..."

"That child is very popular with the 'Witch'!" George III muttered to himself inexplicably, and then asked, "Which one of them do you think is more likely?"

"It's Leland... After the 'Pain Witch' incident, she once declared a break with Prince Edsac... But in fact, she was just protecting the other person's reputation and alienating him... She was really thinking about him.

"And Lieutenant General Sickness... I can't judge in terms of character."

George III nodded after hearing these words. He thought for a while and said directly: "Edsac colluded with the witch and had an affair with the Intis spy. After the incident was exposed, he tried to escape, but was counterattacked by the witch, and was eventually killed." Disease killed Tracy.

“And the reason why he came into contact with the Intis spy was because he was bewitched by the witch Tracey and met privately with Baron Larry, who defected from Intis.

"Baron Larry and Tracy had colluded for a long time, so they were able to snatch the most important treasure in 'Daniel's Labyrinth', and finally gave it to Intis in exchange for Intis's protection."

He used a declarative tone, as if what he said was the truth.

The court earl wiped away the cold sweat and asked cautiously: "Can the church believe this statement?"

"Intis spies did fund Larry. There is clear evidence for this...Larry did also contact Edsac's housekeeper. Although this is not ironclad evidence, it is difficult for Intis to get rid of the relationship.

"Now that the 'Eye of the Goddess' has seen Duke Gral, the church's attention must be focused on him now, and it will not pursue Edsac's affairs.

“Furthermore, since Edsac has been declared dead, even if he appears again in the future, we will not admit it is true, and the things he knows are very limited...

"Anyway, since he escaped, let him go."

Having said this, George III glanced at the court earl.

The court earl immediately understood what His Majesty the King meant and said cautiously: "What explanation do the people from the three major churches want?"

"Duke Grall committed suicide out of fear of crime, and his body can be used to prove it for them! Oh, isn't the death of a Sequence 3 demigod not enough to satisfy them?

"And it's not like no one in our royal family contributed to this great smog incident! Vera was on the front line to prevent the conspiracy of the 'True Creator' to come. The Church of the Night should be very aware of this matter...

"So, this incident is just a small group of people in the royal family, headed by Duke Graer, and Intis, colluding with the cult and trying to rebel." George III suddenly said angrily.

"Your Majesty...is Duke Graer really dead?" Although the court earl didn't want to, he still asked bravely.

After all, he would have to negotiate with people from the three major churches later, and all the bargaining chips would have to be cleared up.

"The death was very complete, even the soul was annihilated." George III felt a little uncomfortable when he talked about this. He actually didn't expect that Duke Graer, as a "chaos hunter", would use that "1" level sealed object to Cursing an angel...still a very special angel.

He took a breath, returned to his usual seriousness, and then ordered:

"You tell them again that no matter how they obtain the corresponding title, they can obtain seats in the House of Lords. Property restrictions on elections will be relaxed, and invalid constituencies will be cleared. This is to appease those factory owners and bankers. .

“Similarly, the Air Pollution Inquiry Committee will give its conclusion immediately, the relevant bill will be passed soon, and the provisions on minimum security and working hours will also be presented in the form of law in the near future!

"The Poor Law will be reformed as they demand...allowing the three major churches to send men into the military!"

"Your Majesty..." The Earl of the Palace was startled when he heard this.

Such concessions were simply beyond his imagination, especially the last one.

George III snorted and said:

"Just tell them this! This is the price that our Loen royal family should pay! But Intis, who is also involved in this matter, cannot pay nothing! They also have to pay the corresponding price."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Earl of the Palace did not dare to mention the fact that Intis was completely framed by you, and withdrew from the palace.

After he left, George III looked at the other side of the hall and said to the "empty" air: "Hwen, I remember that after the last mediation, Vera has agreed to hand over Larry to you. ...How is he doing now? Can he give us a perfect confession?"

As the words fell, an old man wearing a shirt, vest, three-piece formal suit, striped blue-gray trousers, and a dark red bow tie suddenly appeared in the hall.

He is Hvin Rambis, one of the committee members of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

Of course, now he has been wiped out by a certain spiritual dragon and has become a puppet.

He first bowed to the king, and then said slowly:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Baron Larry will kill anyone who has colluded with the embassy attaché Bianca.

"And the fact that Bianca disguised herself as Baron Larry's mistress was found out by the Church of Storms after the assassination of Duke Negan!

"Haha, according to the information I have, Miss Bianca has escaped from Intis' suppression and has now absconded... They will definitely not be able to find anyone to confront Larry."

"But that guy Irving will definitely not admit it easily. We also lack conclusive evidence... Of course, as the framed party, this is actually perfect." George III said with a smile, not at all angry like before.

"As long as Intis doesn't want to start a war immediately, he will definitely give us an explanation and work hard to repair the relationship." Hwin pointed out the most likely response of the other party.

"Haha, I wonder which family on the Intis side will be pushed out as a 'sacrifice'." George III sneered.

"It's most likely the 'Sarri' family."

…

In a lounge of the Brave Bar, Old Kohler suddenly woke up from his deep sleep. His memory still lingered on when he was seriously ill and was about to die, and was taken away by a beautiful "angel"...

"Am I not dead? Or have I come to the Lord's Kingdom of God?" Kohler looked around, but found that the environment here was a bit different from the Kingdom of God he imagined.

Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly looked around, and then saw his bag of ham in the corner of the room.

He ran closer in a few steps, picked up the ham that was already covered in dirt, and took a bite without feeling disgusted.

"It's... delicious! Fortunately, you're still here!" Kohler muttered to himself with satisfaction.

And he was sure that he was not dead and should have been saved.

"Who will save me?" When Kohler was thinking, his eyes suddenly froze, because a young lady with an unusually delicate appearance, who was as beautiful as an angel in his eyes, sat on the sofa in the room at some point. Then look at him quietly.
