"Why did you kill him?"

As soon as he entered the narrow and low cabin, Klein heard a question with dissatisfaction.

"The captain's order is the law on the ship. Anyone who does not obey will be thrown into the sea." He turned slightly and saw the young man with magic weapons standing behind him, his face full of disagreement: "I won't lose this pretty good job for an unrelated person. You rushed up, too. Are you qualified to talk to someone else?"

"I just wanted to knock him down to the sea!"

The boy's serious expression made Klein slightly stunned, and then he burst into laughter.

"You've gone to the wrong place. This is a pirate ship, not a knight training camp." Klein waved his hand boredly: "If it's okay, I'll sleep."

"I joined the pirates just to fight the army and fight the nobles!" The boy was very annoyed by Klein's attitude. He didn't want to confuse himself with this random murderer.

"It's useless to tell me these things, young people. Faith is not something that can be persisted by just shouting a few slogans, nor is it that you can make sure whether your behavior is just by showing your attitude to others." Seeing that the young man still staring at him, he had no intention of leaving at all. Klein recalled that the captain seemed to have mentioned that he had a roommate. Could it be this guy?

"Even a criminal who kills without blinking has relatives. Have you ever thought that his family is still waiting for him?"

"Well, our little knight is also a devout believer, spreading the love and philosophy of the God of Light."

Knowing that he could not rest for the time being, Klein gently rotated the ring he wore on his index finger, but his mind moved to the newly dead Beruji.

Without extra mercy to this infiltrated navy, Klein thought about how he revealed his identity.

[I heard everything he said last night.] This sentence impressed him, and heard it... Klein was sure that only he and the boy who was under the age of eighteen were present at that time, and there was no third person. How did Alandy ‘heard’ Berugi’s report to the Navy?

Magic?

If it weren't for the young man's complaint, this would be the only possibility.

But Klein was not completely sure. He was unable to cast advanced spells, so he was naturally not interested in learning. The body's anti-magic wall would only have a sense of aggressive spells. If it was harmless exploration or tracking spells, it would not be able to detect them.

With his eyes turned and looking at the boy who was still staring at him, an idea took shape in Klein's mind.

He took off the ring and poked his nails lightly on the back of the crystal inlaid with the crystal. The originally dull crystal immediately lit up.

"Speak quickly, I'm very busy."

A low voice rang out in the small space. The boy looked at Klein in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would dare to contact the outside world in front of him.

"Don't be so cold, cousin Victor. Let me tell you good news, I've found a job. I can kill and set fire, and have a good salary to get."

"Hey... you're not alive?" Although Gerald couldn't stand Klein, he couldn't help but worry that Beruji was killed because of using the voice transmission stone.

The silence lasted for a short while, and the magic attached to the crystal once again sent a sound from the distant end.

"I also have bad news here to tell you that my half-brother's cousin has finally received support from some family members, which has given him a little more bargaining chips in the ance right."

A sentence that Gerald heard was heartless, but Klein knew the changes in the situation at once.

Victor mentioned half-brother, and this word has two meanings. One refers to the illegitimate son of Taran, whom he now possesses. The first prince of Perel has received support from the imperial nobles, so he will no longer expect his actions to help him. Secondly, it also implies the manipulator behind the empire. Since Alberrecht has taken action, the church will not fall, and Lucien will definitely lead a large number of people to the north.

Once the church moves, the Magic Association will definitely not be able to sit still...

"Your half-brother must have taken the thug to help, right? Was it your father's instruction or his immediate boss' idea? Don't tell me, you're coming too."

"You have guessed it, why bother asking me? Just do that, let's contact you next time."

Victor, who had always spoken concisely, ended the conversation first. Klein put the ring back to his index finger and unexpectedly saw the young man standing against the wall with a thoughtful expression.

"Aren't you half-elves mixed blood? Why is there a noble relative?" Gerald thought that the masked man was a remnant of the Civil War, but in the conversation just now, he vaguely revealed that his cousin was a nobleman and was fighting for ance.

"Are the relatives of the nobles necessarily nobles? I have nothing to do with that guy just because our mother is a sister. Why, you are interested in other people's private affairs? It seems that there is not much value worth reporting." Klein was more suspicious of Gerald. Although he had considered the possibility of magic, if he had not cast spells directly on his body, the possibility of tracking with invisible spells would have been eliminated long ago. No one could approach him when he was prepared, at least humans could not. Moreover, Beruge was so careful that he would not reveal his identity when he was already suspected.

Gerald didn't react at first, and then remembered the fact that he was following Beruji. Seeing Klein's eyes, he couldn't help but be more alert. He was obviously very careful, but he was still being followed by this guy...

"Your relative is so funny. My father will let him whoever he wants, and he will take the thug to help. Isn't this a joke?" I felt a little embarrassed, and Gerald unnaturally shifted the center of the discussion.

"The problem is that there is a grandfather who is about to die above them. He holds a crucial thing in his hand. As long as he is not dead, the brothers' fathers will not have the real right to make decisions." Listening to the sound of footsteps from far to near, Klein determined that what exposed Beruji's undercover identity was not the boy in front of him, but the magic he had always been unsure of.

That mage is not simple, he can cast spells without him realizing it.

The hatch door opened, and Alandy stood at the door with a gloomy face.

"Who are you talking to?"

With a faint unhappy voice coming from behind, Victor put the crystal back into the magic pocket on his waist.

"The dark elf I sent to invade the inside of the pirates."

Just when Klein boarded a pirate ship in Shanghai, Victor and the Crystal Mages in the name of the association arrived at its hometown, Pearl Island, which had been away for eighty years.

When I was still a human, I spent my childhood on this beautiful island at least. Although I didn’t have much freedom, it was a pleasant memory compared to the last three years of my life.

The teleportation of the association's boundary gate is slightly slower than that of the church's magic airship. When the mages received enthusiastic reception from the nobles in the city lord's mansion, the Knights of the Apocalypse led by Lucien had already contacted the navy sent by Hydein two days ago.

"You should do less unnecessary things in the future. Intervention in the power struggle within the empire will only expose your identity faster." Lucien was still worried about Victor's intervention in the battle between Perel and Muta's throne.

He didn't understand what the benefits of Victor regaining the first heir to the top of the ance right?

"Before starting, I specifically checked Jingya's large library and found a very interesting secret. I wonder if Princess Lantiya had told you the inside story of Notting's ance?" Sensing Lucien's unhappiness, Victor used what he knew to successfully divert his attention.

"Insider?"

"Why, don't you know? For example, why Perel, who was born by Princess Tidis, did not receive support from the matriarchal nobles headed by the prince. Also, why did Alberrecht, who had already abdicated, so cruelly let Muta's concubine abort, and why could he control the situation of the empire with just a few words, and even the reigning emperor could not stop it."

Lucien frowned. His half-brother knew too much, right?

"Just because you don't know this, it means you have no choice between you and the ance right."

These two sentences completely frozen the smile on Lucien's mouth. He grabbed Victor who was deliberately separated and said, "Tell me clearly!"

"The ance rights of the empire are not as simple as the outside world, and the emperor's orders have no meaning at all. Although Alberrecht abdicated a long time ago, think about it carefully, what is the difference between him and the current emperor, carefully... think about it."

Following the idea given by Victor, Lucien searched for memories and made a careful comparison.

Support? No...the relationship with the church? It doesn't seem to be...

Suddenly, a blurry picture flashed into his mind.

In the auditorium, which is full of portraits of previous emperors and is specially used to hold ance ceremonies, there is a portrait of my grandfather's early years.

Unlike the usual gorgeous brocade clothes, the boy in military uniform also has a hint of childish face and sharp eyes. He holds a golden stick representing power in his right hand, and his left hand...the left hand?

"Looking at your expression, I probably thought of it." The cold voice brought Lucien back to reality from his memories.

"I remember my grandfather had..." Although the shape of that thing was common, it was very different from the ordinary ones. Lucien organized the language: "A golden book, like a code of gold. Yes, I remember that the portrait was painted like this, but the portrait of the ance of the current emperor Brett was not."

Not only Brett, but Lucien, in his childhood memory, found that not every portrait of the emperor had the golden book.

"That is the real ance right, the Vien Code."

Viin Notting?

Lucien's eyes were filled with more surprises, why did he involve Notting's founding emperor?

"The empire and the church were originally one, and they held the heart of the sun and the light of Mara among the three holy instruments. After the catastrophe, Vien Notting, the commander of the legion of the apologists, split from the church and created the present Notting Empire with his powerful military power. The invincible miracle army also disappeared with his death. No one except the truly chosen heirs, can hold control of this invincible army. Brett's ability cannot surpass his father, in Alberechi
