Dorothy told Adele her guess like this, but Adele was obviously stunned after hearing Dorothy's guess, and after a while she continued to speak.
"This... is it really possible? Yes... if Samson's real purpose is not purely to oppose Bourbon, then the church's disgust towards him makes sense!"
"Yes, I guess that although Samson's move could be concealed from most people, it is possible that the senior officials who can truly see the overall situation of Farajo can see through his actions, including Archbishop Farajo and his executive enemies.
"Perhaps it was because of Samson's anti-Bourbon actions that he invited this assassination attempt. This action of his can be said to have simultaneously offended the church, the afterbirth, and the remaining royalists in the country. His enemies used this to conspire against him." Dorothy continued to analyze, and Adele was silent for a while after listening to her words and then continued to answer.
"So... is that so? As for the church... did they even acquiesce to the cooperation with Afterbirth in order to completely eliminate Bourbon?"
"For the church, both Bourbon and Afterbirth are intolerable. They can tolerate one first and deal with the other. They just need to turn Samson's fake anti-Bourbon cause into a real anti-Bourbon cause after his death. Moreover, in this incident, the Inquisition wants to use this as an opportunity to fight against the other two factions. For the Inquisition, if things can be accomplished in the end, it is not impossible to accept indirect temporary cooperation with Afterbirth."
Dorothy continued, kissing Adele, and Adele responded with a complicated tone after hearing his words.
"It turns out that behind this conspiracy... there are so many complicated interests involved. Before coming to Farajo, I thought that there might be some hidden dangers here, but I didn't expect it to be this deep. This time, it's all thanks to you, little detective... I alone can't handle such a complicated and serious situation.
"After going through so many big things, it seems that you were able to handle it with ease in the end. Is this the determination of a Red Stage? I didn't expect that in just one year, the little detective has evolved to a level that even I need to look up to..."
Adele said this to Dorothy, with a tone of sincere gratitude, and Dorothy responded softly.
"It's actually okay. This time we're working on the edge of Flotz, and I think the ability of the archbishop in the city is somewhat limited. It would be best if we could resolve the entire incident with low-intensity extraordinary interference. Also, Adele, you might be able to get clues to advance to the Chicheng level this time. Maybe you'll be able to advance to the same level as me soon."
"Really? Well, I'm grateful for your kind words, little detective."
"Of course. Well, it's getting late now. Let's go to bed early. We still have things to do in the morning."
Dorothy said this and then disconnected the communication with Adele. She then continued to control her corpse puppet to drive the carriage through the countryside and head towards the dim distance.
…
Time flies, the moon sets and the sun rises, and soon the night is over. When the darkness gradually fades away, the southern suburbs of Florence welcome the dawn.
At dawn, under the dim sky, the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty, which had been bustling in the past few days, was now silent and deserted. After yesterday's incident, Farajo's anti-magic guards quickly cordoned off the scene and took away all the participants of the audience banquet. After that, the entire Palace of the Goddess of Beauty was blocked by the anti-magic guards, and even the servants who were originally working inside were temporarily taken away.
Farajo's Anti-Magic Guards are mainly controlled by Samson, one of the executive officers. This is his subordinate organization. Under Samson's orders, the entire periphery of the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty is blocked by the Anti-Magic Guards, and no one is left inside, making the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty extremely empty today.
In the early morning of the ceremonial square, the air was cold and quiet. A beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress was walking alone in this wide venue. Adele, still wearing the costume of the King of Costumes, walked slowly past the bronze statue of Charles and came to the largest building in the square, the second stage, the Morning Fountain.
At this time, the Dawn Fountain still maintained the posture of the Lotus Water Method, with the gushing water columns forming a blooming water lotus. Adele came silently to the side of the dancing stage yesterday, carefully observing the scene, and then saw a different scene from yesterday.
In the middle of the fountain, on the circular stage created by the mechanism that moved the bronze statue away, there are now thick stone slabs placed on them. These stone slabs have delicate patterns on them. These patterns are connected in series to form a huge lotus flower, which is exactly the same as the water lotus in the fountain.
This is the floor that was originally placed on the stage of the singing hall. It can be disassembled and assembled at will. It is usually placed on the stage of the singing hall in a disordered posture. It will be reassembled during the audience banquet and become the first stage.
The characteristics of this puzzle mean that the stage does not need to be left in its original place and can be moved away. It can be put together not only in the performance hall but also in other places.
The circular platform above the Morning Fountain is exactly the same size as the stage of the concert hall, which means that all the lotus puzzles can be assembled on the fountain platform. This is what Dorothy did at this moment. She just asked her corpse to remove all the stage tiles in the concert hall and transferred them all to the fountain for assembly. The final lotus can be perfectly nested on the fountain platform, as if these floors should have been here from the beginning.
Looking at the broken lotus flowers in the water in front of her, Adele took a deep breath, then lifted her skirt and walked through the water curtain, stepping onto the fountain stage again. Then she faced the east and began to dance again.
Adele performed the noble and elegant dance once again. Even though there were not as many audiences appreciating her dance as yesterday, she still danced gracefully with all her strength, as if she was performing a dance for the Palace of Beauty itself and for the long-extinct Bourbon.
As Adele danced, the sun in the east gradually rose, and the light of the morning sun gradually overflowed from the horizon, shining on the golden roof of the Palace of Beauty, emitting dazzling brilliance. When this morning light full of vitality passed through the colorful dome of the Colorful Dome Hall, new projections were also projected down, but unlike the dusk light coming from the west at sunset, the morning light in the east at dawn naturally came from the opposite direction.
The morning light from the east cast a blurry colorful halo over the Colorful Dome Hall and onto the ceremonial square to the west. As time passed and the sun rose higher, the halo gradually moved toward the Morning Fountain. As light and shadow changed, the halo gradually deformed. When the entire halo turned into a halo lotus, it completely overlapped with the Morning Fountain.
At this point, in the Palace of the Goddess of Beauty, the first Broken Stage, the second Water Lotus Stage, and the third Halo Stage perfectly overlapped and merged into one at this moment of dawn. Adele became the dancer dancing on these three stages at that moment...
