You call this the mastermind?

On the surface, the mother of the Chelsea sisters is a gentle and virtuous middle-aged woman with smooth blond hair just like the sisters. She looks very beautiful in the sun.

If Christine, the Holy Spirit, had not been taken into account, Meren would never have suspected that the other party was a black knight, because she didn't seem to have much to offer -

At this time, the middle-aged woman was sitting in the garden, whispering something to her husband who was rubbing her shoulders behind her. She had a soft smile on her face, no different from the wives who accompany their husbands at home. .

At least based on naked eye observation, Meren didn't see anything special about her, except that her face was a little pale, as if she was seriously ill.

But aside from the invisible doubts about the lady herself, and focusing on her as a person, Meren could clearly see the anomalies in the current scene.

The abnormality comes from two people, one of which is Alyssa.

Under the sun, the blond girl was hazy and in the form of a translucent ghost, floating next to a middle-aged woman who was suspected of being a black knight. She looked not much different from the posture she had floated around Melen before.

However, waves of strange gray mist continued to emerge from the middle-aged woman's body, and as if being robbed by a huge suction force, it was quickly absorbed by Alyssa floating in front of her.

This situation is very obvious, just like a full-power vacuum cleaner falling into an old house full of dust. The "dust" is surging crazily and being swallowed up, which seems a bit violent.

But whether it was the middle-aged couple who were chatting quietly with their husbands or the young Mrs. Chelsea next to Mellen, they all seemed to have not seen it and turned a blind eye to it.

Another anomaly is Sylvie.

Compared with Alyssa, she has long silver hair that is completely different from hers. She looks consistent with the girl in Mellen's memory, but her expression is obviously much more mature.

So Mellen immediately guessed that this was not Sylvie "herself", but the future version of the Mother of Heaven, whose style had always been mysterious.

But even though he was fully aware of how mysterious this woman was, Meren didn't expect that she would actually appear here!

And like Alyssa, no one can see her, except Melen.

Even Alyssa, who was invisible to others, didn't seem to notice that there was a silver-haired woman beside her, silently watching her crazily devouring certain substances from her grandmother's body.

"Why don't you speak?"

The girl Isabella who was hiding with Melen spoke again.

Because she couldn't see what Melen saw, she was obviously very confused by Melen's silence. She also obviously did not have the calm demeanor of later ladies.

"Maybe we should just go out and ask?"

She made a proposal.

Because it involves her family, the girl does not feel the need to hide what she is doing now, nor does she think that this kind of crisis can be perfectly solved by herself and the mysterious and powerful boy next to her, but with an unknown purpose.

The reason why I am hiding so sneakily now is mainly because I am thinking about potential enemies. But she had observed carefully just now and saw no outsiders around.

In this case, it would look stupid to keep hiding like this.

"Wait a little longer."

Meren finally responded, but even though he was talking to the girl next to him, his eyes were still staring at the two familiar but unfamiliar slim figures in the distance, "Haven't you noticed, your mother is getting weaker and weaker."      Getting weaker?"

Isabella was startled when she heard this, and turned her attention to look, but did not see this phenomenon.

In other words, in her opinion, although her mother is very weak now and her face is even pale, her condition is considered stable. Otherwise, how can she laugh with her father?

But since Meren said this, she wouldn't refute anything. As a wizard, Isabella knew clearly that many things could not be seen with the naked eye alone.

Just because I haven't discovered anything now doesn't mean there really isn't anything.

But...if she was really getting weaker, didn't the mother of the person involved notice her own abnormality?

She was a little confused about this.

Mellen was also confused.

After the initial shock, he was a little confused as to what was going on.

He can be sure that the gray matter that Alyssa is currently absorbing in a predatory manner must be closely related to the middle-aged woman's life.

But just like the confused thoughts of the girl next to him, he was also wondering why the middle-aged woman who was thought to be a black knight by the Holy Spirit Christine seemed to be unaware of it?

Because Alyssa is too strong? No harm will be discovered?

Or is it that these black knights he has been paying attention to for a long time are not as powerful as he imagined?

What puzzled him even more than this doubt was why Alyssa would do such a thing? And why did the silver-haired Mother of Heaven appear here mysteriously and choose to watch silently?

Everything seems like a fog, making it difficult to see the whole picture.

If it weren't for the fact that Christine's judgment should not be wrong, Meren even had the idea of ​​​​ignoring it, agreeing with the suggestion of the girl next to him, and going directly to ask.

However, he was thinking again and couldn't ask, what could he find by hiding here and observing?

The answer came not long after.

The middle-aged woman who was still talking to her husband in a sweet and smiling voice the moment before suddenly pulled out a dagger from her long sleeves and stabbed it into her husband's lower abdomen without hesitation!

As the patriarch of a wizard family, the middle-aged man who should have been very powerful seemed to be immobilized. His expression was dull. Facing this kind of injury that was no different from the attack of ordinary people, he did not dodge or even struggle at all, and was disemboweled by his wife!

Real disembowelment.

The dagger did not stop after stabbing into his abdomen, but was lifted up by the woman's hand without any delay. The middle-aged man's flesh and bones were cut apart, and blood spurted out, mixed with mucous membranes and internal organs and scattered all over the ground.

The beautiful and warm family garden was instantly turned into a bloody slaughterhouse!

This change came too suddenly.

Before this, Melen could hardly imagine that a seemingly weak woman could perform such a sharp killing action, but he didn't have time to be surprised at why this sudden situation happened, and instinctively covered the mouth of the girl next to him, fearing that she would make a sound.

In fact, Melen's action was very timely.

Because the next moment, the girl with wide eyes and horrified expression suddenly opened her mouth, and it was unknown whether she wanted to scream or wanted to loudly question her mother in the distance.

Fortunately, Melen did not give her this opportunity and immediately dragged her away from here.
