Chapter 61 Andy deceived everyone

The Starry Cathedral is a special place in the local church, and no one is allowed to enter it at will during non-examination time.

So when the Duke of Anjou arrived here, there was no one around.

It was empty, with only an empty auditorium and a few rows of stone chairs in the assessment area.

But for her, the place where there seemed to be no clues was actually full of clues.

She's a dragon rider.

If you want to be a dragon knight, you must first have a profession such as a tamer, knight, or psychic that can communicate with animals.

The Duke of Anjou was a psychic, and a very powerful one.

So she could do what Father Matthew was able to do at the plane crash site, and she could do it even more deeply.

Everything that exists will leave traces.

Clairvoyance, similar to historical replay, is the ability to communicate with the surrounding environment, or the surrounding world.

This ability is extremely powerful, but its use is subject to many limitations. Things that happened too long ago or involve too many extraordinary people cannot be undone.

Normally, it is also impossible to perform backtracking in a place like the Starry Temple.

But the Duke of Anjou was not among this normal group.

So she looked back at history and saw scenes of Andy participating in memory tests, will tests, and duel tests.

She was amazed by the talent that the boy showed one after another.

But what she cared more about was the special features of the will test——

The superficial test of willpower was nothing more than the boy sitting in a fake church with his eyes closed, twirling his rosary beads, and passively enduring the erosion of the devil's whispers.

But this appearance had deceived everyone present, but it could not deceive her eyes.

So she not only saw the scene of the devil statue kneeling at the boy's feet and shattering, but also heard some trivial conversations.

"Great saint, you are the enemy of the devil, the nemesis of darkness, the light of dawn, and the sun of the scorching sun. You are destined to rise up and illuminate this filthy world - that will surely make countless righteous people rejoice and sing praises to your great achievements!"

"Before that, let us humble undead souls solve some insignificant troubles for you! Although that is not——"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to take credit? But this child can't hear you at all right now."

"Can't you hear? Ah! Damn it, all that nonsense."

“…”

“…”

Sitting on the stone chair, the Duke of Anjou had a strange expression on his face when he opened his eyes and came out of the retrospective state.

"That boy, there's something wrong."

She muttered, "This is so wrong."

What are saints? Just as the passage praises them, they are the nemesis of the devil and the great enemy of darkness. Once they are discovered, they will surely be treated as treasures by the gospel church!

In the era before the Reformation, saints didn't even have to do anything to be granted the honorable status of the Son of God in the Reserve Church! In other words, in the words of the Norman bishop, the little boy who was suppressed by the housekeeper, controlled by the rebels, and in a miserable situation, didn't have to endure all that! He only needed to reveal his identity as a saint, and naturally someone would be sent by the headquarters of the Church to pick him up.

By that time, his illness would be just a small problem that could be easily solved...

Why didn't he do that? Why didn't he go to a bigger stage, instead of suffering in a small place like York?

Because you don’t know what sainthood really means?

impossible.

If he really didn't know, why didn't he even ask, but kept repeating the same thing, "pen, pen"?

Because they were afraid of being assassinated after being exposed?

Yes, there is a possibility.

The true picture of the will test is concealed because the saints are not only the treasures of the Gospel Church, but also potential enemies that the dark forces will kill as soon as they see them.

Therefore, it is normal not to want the public to know his sainthood.

But instead of making it public, why didn't the boy go to a reliable person in private and reveal his saint's identity?

Is it someone who has no trust?

If the Duke of Anjou did not have a secret letter written to the old bishop in his hand, he might have believed this judgment.

But it turns out that the truth is not like that at all!

Why is that? Is the assessment time tight?

This is even more impossible. In the later test levels, the boy was obviously "slacking off". He had plenty of time to get away with going to the bathroom and other excuses to find the Norman bishop.

Although there was a hostile butler beside the bishop at the time, would the butler, who did not take the boy seriously, eavesdrop on their conversation? Even if he was overheard, would he, a mere butler, have the guts to murder a saint? ...

Don't understand.

I really don't understand.

Why didn't the boy reveal his sainthood?

He clearly had the conditions to avoid being suppressed by the housekeeper and exploited by the rebels, so why did he have to endure all that? "What good can this do?"

As he muttered to himself, the Duke of Anjou felt a strong curiosity about this.

Originally, she just wanted to complete the task and didn't want to get involved more.

Although I found that the boy had many special qualities, I didn't think it was anything to worry about.

The empire is vast, and brilliant geniuses and freaks with secrets are discovered every day.

Although it is very rare to see someone as dazzling and eccentric as the boy, rarity does not mean that they have never existed.

If you can’t grow up, no matter how talented or weird you are, you are not important.

But now...

After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out, so she once again felt the urge to go find the boy and ask him directly for clarification.

However, after some hesitation, she finally decided not to do so.

Instead, continue to select Investigation.

Then, she saw the butler showing off his power and suppressing Andy in the Starry Temple.

Seeing such a big change, Andy seemed expressionless, but he was actually constantly observing the scenes of the audience around him.

We saw a scene where he was in a miserable situation, being hunted by a pack of hyenas, but in the end he took advantage of the situation and got away with an easy walk.

We also saw a scene where an evil spirit was stirring in the package in the boy's arms, but was soothed by his whispers...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

All of this made the Duke of Anjou more and more surprised, and he felt more and more that he could not see through the other party's cognition.

But when she investigated everything around York Harbor, what she cared about most was a small detail.

A watch.

A very beautiful watch, which was used by the newly arrived boy to pay for his board and lodging, but later returned to him!

It seemed that the boy had no money to stay in the hotel, and he had a premonition that someone would come looking for him, so he played a trick on the hotel owner.

In the end, I got three days of food, drink and accommodation for free.

However, not long after he left the hotel, he threw the watch into the trash can! This behavior was very abrupt.

If he cared about the watch, he wouldn't have thrown it away.

And if he doesn't care about the watch, then there's no need for him to do something like getting it for free!

Wouldn't it be better to show generosity and just leave the watch to the hotel owner? How would others think of him if they knew about this freeloading trick?

Praise him for being smart?

Or do you think he is insidious and cunning? Is it because the hotel owner is not a good person that he is unwilling to leave the watch?

Don't want to give bad guys an advantage? This is what the Duke of Anjou thought at first.

But when she repeated the retrospective investigation, she discovered a subtle but special existence.

A shrike.

A shrike landed on the hotel sign, witnessed the boy being picked up by the priest, witnessed the middle-aged mayor snatching the watch from the hotel owner, and then nodded and handed it to Andy, who accepted it calmly.

Following the clue of the bird, the Duke of Anjou heard the following conversation.

"That boy is indeed a genius, but according to our analysis in the meeting, he is not suitable for you, the Second Young Master, to spend resources to train him."

"Well, what do you mean?"

"A watch of great value in the secular world is nothing in itself."

"But through his behavior of teasing the hotel owner, we believe that his character has matured and he has elements of bullying, arrogance and sneakiness."

"If we really use the Fountain of Immortality to cure his illness and train him to be a talent, there is a high possibility that he will ignore or even harm our York family."

"Backlash?"

"That's a bit exaggerated. Didn't you say that the hotel owner did a lot of stupid things? I think it's not bad to trick him."

"That hotel owner is really not a good person."

"But neither are you."

“…”

"That makes damn sense."

…

"Well, then ignore him and let Weaver handle it."

…

"What a pity that such a genius cannot be used by me..."

…

"so."

As he came out of the trance state and slowly opened his eyes, the Duke of Anjou kept thinking about this matter in his mind.

"That boy named Andy deceived everyone."

"From the beginning to now, he has not passively endured persecution, but has actively taken advantage of the situation and even actively guided the situation."

"He guided the situation and made the York family stand completely against him..."

"Why?"
