Earl's Palace.
Count Greta was warmly entertaining the Alaus family.
When the Arauz family, who were exiled by Grand Duke Lynch, passed through his territory, he intercepted them, but he did not send them back to the Earl's Palace.
"Viscount Alaus, what was the martial spirit that Holly failed to awaken at that time?" Count Greta raised his glass to Wells Alaus and asked with a smile.
"My lord, my title has been stripped by Grand Duke Lynch." Wells was terrified and thought quickly about Count Greta's intentions in his mind.
During his exile due to Holly's involvement, he suffered countless difficulties and cold treatment, and no one was willing to lend him a helping hand.
When he passed through Count Greta's territory, he was suddenly entertained by the Count, which made him flattered but also a little puzzled.
Everything their family business had run collapsed, and at this point he was no longer of any value.
He especially didn't understand why the count mentioned Holly. Judging from the time, Holly had been dead for several days at that time.
The exiled Alaus family was cut off from information and had no idea what was happening outside.
"Wells, a title can be restored once it is revoked. Holly's affairs should not implicate innocent people. Perhaps I can give you some help in this matter." Greta said.
"My Lord Earl, there is no free lunch in the world. Is there anything I can help you with?" Wells became more alert.
"Wells, don't be so nervous. I just admire you and want to make friends with you." Greta smiled, put down the wine glass in her hand, and said frankly, "You guessed right, Holly is not dead, and something special happened to him. So, I came to you to find out more about Holly. I hope you can tell me the truth. Only in this way can I help you."
"What's wrong with Holly?" Wells asked.
"He escaped from prison, along with all the serious criminals in White Stone City Prison." Duke Greta said.
"Prison break?" Wells' eyes widened in surprise. "He is just an ordinary person. How could he possibly escape from prison?"
"The person in the same cell with him is Grand Duke Lynch's most proud disciple Stephen Gao, a magician. They caused some trouble in White Stone City, so I stopped you and asked about Holly." Greta said ambiguously, "Wells, this is your chance to redeem yourself for your crime."
Wells was keenly aware of the abnormality and he knew his son's true nature.
If it weren't for him protecting him, Holly would be a typical loser. Even if it was a prison break, the investigation should be directed at Stephen Gao, not him.
Therefore, something big must have happened in Baishi City, and Holly was the leader.
But he didn't know whether this matter was good or bad, and where the fate of the Alaus family would go...
But under normal circumstances, asking Holly about something should be an interrogation, not a treat. Wells looked at Greta and asked cautiously, "Mr. Earl, what do you want to know?"
"What was the martial spirit that Holly awakened at that time?" Greta asked.
"Red-gold leopard." Wells hesitated for a moment and said.
"Are you sure?" Greta asked after a moment's pause.
"Yes, at that time, Holly's martial spirit was half awakened and had already revealed the shape of a red-gold leopard. At that time, I thought that a strong man with a five-star martial spirit would appear in the Alaus family. I was very excited, but in the end, I failed."
Wells received too little information, but he dared not not answer in the face of Count Greta.
Even if Holly and Stephen Gao got together, could they fight against Grand Duke Lynch? Deep down, Wells was disgusted with Holly, who had been doted on for more than ten years but ended up causing a disaster and harming the entire family.
Having finally seen hope for the family's redemption, Wells no longer wanted to shelter that rebellious son.
After saying that, Wells felt relieved and asked again: "Count Greta, can I know what happened to Holly?"
"I'm sorry, Wells, you have to be prepared. Holly may be dead." Count Greta looked at Wells and suddenly sighed.
Wells was stunned: "But you just said he escaped from prison!"
"Holly did escape from prison," Greta said, "but it was not led by Stephen Gao. Holly awakened his ten-star martial spirit in prison and helped Stephen Gao break free from his mental prison. He defeated the prison warden Levi Karl, who possessed a seven-star martial spirit, and on the second day, he defeated Grand Duke Lynch alone and captured Baishi City..."
Greta briefly described some of the things Doug had done. Wells' heart beat faster and faster, and he couldn't help but refute: "This is impossible. I know Holly. He is definitely not that powerful..."
"Wells, you're right." Greta nodded. "When you told me that Holly's failed martial spirit was the Scarlet-Gold Leopard, I knew that Holly was no longer himself. He was most likely possessed by an evil spirit."
"Possessed by an evil spirit?" Wells' throat rolled and he swallowed.
"Yes, he is the evil god who is keen on creating disasters in the world." Greta said, "In order to plunge the whole world into greater turmoil, he also whitewashed Holly's previous deeds, making those stupid people crazy about him and become his believers."
"Whitewash?" Wells frowned. "Holley has done so many wrong things. Can his evil deeds be whitewashed?"
"He told the world that the martial soul that Holly failed to awaken was a predictive martial soul. Although it had no soul power, it could predict disasters that would happen to others..." Greta looked at Wells and simply recounted what Doug had done in White Stone City.
Wells was completely stunned. At this moment, all he could think about was how this could happen. How could this happen? It was amazing! "Wells, what are you thinking about?" Greta asked.
"Nothing!" Wells shook his head in panic.
"Let's work together!" Greta said.
"Cooperation on what?" Wells asked subconsciously.
"The one who possessed Holly is an intelligent evil god. He has fooled almost all the people in Grand Duke Lynch's territory." Greta looked at Wells seriously, "Only you, Wells, Holly's biological father, can expose his true face, wake up the people who have been deceived by him, and save the world."
Wells took a sip of the red wine in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Wells, that's not your son anymore. You're not still dreaming that an evil god can bring glory to the Alaus family!"
Greta frowned and said, "He declared himself king in the name of Holly, which will only bring greater disaster to the Alaus family. You should draw a clear line between you and him now. In the future, when His Majesty Lucerne puts down the rebellion, the Alaus family will surely regain its former glory, and perhaps even go further."
"Count Greta, Holly defeated Grand Duke Lynch, and even you have been put in a mental cage by him. If we reveal his true face now, it will only bring him resentment." Wells said embarrassedly, "Count, with our strength, can we deal with a mad evil god?"
"Wells, I never fight an unprepared war." Greta smiled. "A day ago, His Holiness the Pope set out to kill the evil god and rescue Grand Duke Lynch. The Pope is the messenger of the Sun God. You don't think an evil god can defeat His Holiness the Pope, do you?"
Seeing Wells' astonished look, Greta reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Recruiting you is a secret order given to me by the Pope. Our mission is to destroy the influence that Holly has established in Grand Duke Lynch's territory. Wells, seize this opportunity. Whether the Alaus family can rise again depends on whether we can succeed this time."
