Sean was stunned for a moment, and Frelia beside him suddenly looked at him.
"What's wrong? What did you find?"
"Who is that wizard?" asked the wizard who was now walking towards the center.
"That's Master La Pushi, the great wizard of the palace. What's wrong?"
"No...it's okay."
Everyone stood in their assigned positions, but Sean didn't say what he saw...
Frowning.
Why is this another garbled string with no attributes? Could the other party be another Ancient God? Then Shoggoth should be his name, right?
That's not right. If it was an ancient god, it would be impossible to see the name, and even saying it out loud would be difficult... The other party should be of a very high level, or not an ordinary creature, so that I can't see the whole picture at all.
Just as Sean sat down, the other party seemed to smile at him.
Frelia was still sitting next to him. Theoretically, she shouldn't have sat on the lord's side, but he couldn't care less about that at the moment. Everyone just wanted to hear the results of the investigation in recent days.
Looking around, he saw only the Earl of the South and officials whose names he did not know. The only ones who could stand under King Simon's podium were the Grand Duke, the Prince, and a few guests including Melsusa. As for the other wizards, they stood a little further away. Among them, he could also see Ash standing with several other wizards.
Ignia's words seemed to be still coming back, and the other party poked his head out as if looking for him as well...
"Everyone, be quiet!"
The bustling hall was suddenly stopped by La Push's voice.
It was quiet, and everyone was waiting for each other's explanation.
"I think everyone must be confused about what has happened recently?" La Push asked everyone present.
"So what exactly happened? Has the murderer of Prince Anto been investigated?" asked a man standing in the group of ministers.
"Wait a moment, sir."
"I need to tell you the whole process again..."
La Pushi stood in the middle and looked back at the king on the platform. The king didn't say anything, but gestured with his eyes to continue.
"Four nights ago, Prince Anto was playing in his room as usual, but at that moment, a murderer assassinated him! The assassin brutally disemboweled Prince Anto and ripped out his heart, leaving his body unrecognizable. He even left behind an unknown mark."
Then La Push took out a piece of white gauze from his sleeve and drew the shape of the old seal in the center with red ink.
Complex, twisted, and yet looks very textured.
The moment the other party took it out, a strange image flashed through Sean's mind again... tentacles, eyes, and flowing irregular strips.
There was an uproar all around...
"What's going on? Master La Push."
"I've read many ancient books, but there's no record of such a mark..."
Sean looked up, wondering if it was an illusion.
The other person's eyes met his, and he seemed to be smiling intentionally.
“How come there is no record?!!”
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Grand Duke... Some ancient books don't have it, but others will. This mark has appeared once in the past decade or so, and that was in the hands of a member of the Wizarding Society."
Wizarding Society!
After more than a year or almost two years, Sean heard the name again, and not only himself but also other people in the hall started talking about it in surprise.
"The Wizarding Society..."
Frelia beside her was also muttering to herself.
"The Wizarding Society? Doesn't that organization exist in both Zambutal and Adak? They have quite a few members... Could they be responsible for this?"
"It's not certain yet, but since a wizard's guild appears, we have to be careful. Who brought the wizard's guild here..." La Push looked at the king on the platform.
At this moment, King Simon's depressed mood instantly disappeared, and turned into a state of urgency.
This made Sean look very strange. Didn't he know what La Push was going to say before?
"Was it the Wizarding Society that killed Anto?" King Simon asked.
"We've been investigating the Wizarding Society recently, and we've arrested quite a few members of the Wizarding Society in the Imperial Capital. We've also found some interesting information about a certain noble."
As the other party was speaking, several images flashed through Sean's mind again.
Some were fighting on their own, and some finally called out a certain name...
"Who is that?"
La Pushi walked to a place a little further back, not far from Sean, but still within sight of him.
"Count Sean Weigel, won't you come and explain what you have been doing in recent years?" He looked over here with a weird smile.
"What are you talking about! Master La Push. Sean is me..."
"You've been deceived, Your Excellency the Red Dragon Witch... Your eyes have blinded your heart. You've never understood the man sitting beside you. He possesses a unique magical power, and from the moment he first lived in the mountains, he's been plotting greater ambitions. He possesses unfathomable abilities, has assassinated members of the Wizarding Coven, was the first to learn of the danger posed by the deceased Earl of Koga, and was also present at the incident in Old Tacoma..."
La Push gradually smiled.
"...If I'm not mistaken, the Cain Slate that was once kept by Her Excellency the Red Dragon Witch should now be in the hands of Earl Sean."
"What a brilliant move! He actually used such despicable means to gain power."
For a moment, Sean's mind recalled everything that had happened before, every single thing.
other side……
Why do you know this? ! !
"What nonsense are you talking about, that thing..." Frelia roared.
"You gave him that thing, that's right. That's why I said you were deceived by yourself, but it's no wonder... A young and promising man who is good at planning and strategizing has a special appeal to women. I can't blame you for that. But you have no way of knowing the ambitions of the man next to you."
Everyone in the field of vision was looking at him, probably hundreds of people.
[Doubt!], [Amazing!], [Guess!], [Laugh!]...
A series of states flashed before my eyes.
I understand. Sean seemed to understand the other party's identity at this time.
The Wizarding Society...
He is a member of the Wizarding Society!
"That's a pretty good deduction, very interesting. Why don't you just change your career and become an entertainer (a novelist)? Are you so eager to push me out because you're trying to hide your own identity, Shoggoth?"
The other party was also surprised when I said my name!
Sean stood up and slowly walked to the center...
