After reporting everything to His Majesty the King, Bulwer's tense mind finally relaxed a little.
Now, he has told the king all the inside information to the insider. This means that he does not know any more clues than the king, so he will not bear the first responsibility for other changes that will follow.
After years of practice, he has mastered this skill of pushing the pot.
There was no hint of happiness or anger from the king's face. He just said "I understand" in a deep voice, and there was no further explanation.
After leaving the palace, Bulwer was still hesitating whether to return to the City Guard headquarters to continue handling the matter. But as soon as he boarded the carriage, such thoughts were abandoned by him.
Ax just sat calmly in the carriage.
He suppressed the look of shock that appeared for a moment and sat across from him as if nothing had happened.
The door is closed and the wheels start slowly.
Echos raised her hand and set up a barrier to isolate the inside and outside of the carriage.
Seeing that he had finished setting up, Bulwer asked: "Why did Mr. Ecos come to see me this time?"
"I heard about the recent rumors in the capital."
Wayne's voice was cold. "I heard that, Lord Bulwer, you are also involved in this matter?"
He was not prepared to expose the fact that the person who sneaked into Chapman Manor was Echos.
This time I came to Bulwer, not only to inquire about the information, but also to try my best to clear the suspicion on Ecos.
I'm afraid I can't even count the number of people who have the ability to do things without anyone noticing, even if I search the entire capital.
"No, no, no, I just happen to have a personal relationship with Earl Chapman..." Bulwer defended, "In fact, when I learned about this, I was also surprised."
Although Wayne looked expressionless, he sneered in his heart.
——If I hadn’t seen the account book, I would really believe it.
He was obviously an insider and even accepted Chapman's benefits, so he turned a blind eye to what he did.
It seems that no matter how nice the rebel camp sounds, it is just an interest group hiding behind the scenes.
They don't mind working with anyone and in any way as long as the price is right.
Somewhat disappointed.
However, Wayne originally did not place all his hopes on these people.
So he quickly changed the subject.
"Lord Bulwer, will you pursue the investigation carefully?" Ecos asked. "This is a great opportunity to weaken the prestige of the kingdom's officials and even the royal family."
Bulwer showed a bit of embarrassment, "It depends on what His Majesty the King wants. When I saw him just now, he just said 'got it' and said nothing else."
--knew?
Does it mean you already knew it?
Wayne frowned.
"Don't you start investigating if he doesn't issue instructions?" he asked.
Bulwer took a deep breath.
"The city guard... looks majestic, but in fact it is just a dog of His Majesty the King."
However, Wayne didn't seem to be moved by his words.
"Is this your personal opinion, or is it what the rebel headquarters means?" Echos hit the nail on the head.
Hearing this, Bulwer's expression froze, looking a little strange.
It seems that he failed to create an atmosphere of sadness and indignation.
He remained silent.
Then Wayne understood that it was because of personal factors that he did not want to have a direct conflict with His Majesty the King.
Just as he had earned his position as commander-in-chief out of the king's trust, he did not want to lose these things yet.
Echos smiled coldly.
"Lord Bulwer, it is difficult to start well and end well. Don't let the whole ladder that has been worked hard to reach this point in your life collapse because you took the wrong path."
It seems like a threat, but also like a reminder.
Bulwer opened his mouth to say something else, but as soon as he raised his head, the figure in front of him disappeared.
Everything that just happened was like a dream that was both illusory and real.
He couldn't help but clenched his fist subconsciously.
…
Visiting many places quietly, Wayne collected a lot of information.
What made him feel a little strange was that there didn't seem to be a large number of strange children suddenly appearing near the royal capital.
The previous batches of people who were taken away were like a drop of water melting into the pool, leaving no trace.
"What do you want to do if you need such a stable population source for a long time? Is it really just to earn a fee for selling yourself?"
He remembered the last time Norman Laird and President Darcy prepared to cause rebellion.
Those two people wanted to kidnap all the children in the warehouse.
Is it because they know something?
He hesitated whether to meet those two people.
All the witnesses who were still alive in the underground space of Chapman Manor were processed by him and then dispersed.
Those who are interested can get some important information from them.
Only the man who was suspected of awakening magic and the woman in black and white maid uniform were locked up in the basement of the family villa.
It's not that he wants to be lenient, but that he still has many conjectures that need to be proven by these two people.
After eating at home, he found an excuse to go out and went to the basement.
Although the nobles outside were in chaos, the dining table of the Wenche family was exceptionally peaceful.
There is quite a sense of leisure and tranquility.
Wayne didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Maybe according to Elliot's original plan, Chrissy should be able to live her life peacefully and happily.
However, he is not Chris. When he sees something he wants to do, he will not stand still.
At most, try not to involve these unrelated people.
This basement was damp and dark, but when Wayne stepped into it this time, it was much drier.
A special mechanism has been set up inside to inhibit the flow of part of the magic power. Logically speaking, this half-baked man named Madge should be unable to break through.
Glancing at the empty bread bag that had been eaten on the table, Wayne turned his attention to the maid standing beside him uncomfortably.
For safety reasons, March has been tied to the wooden frame by him, so only the maid can feed him some food.
"Come out with me," Wayne said to the maid.
As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Qi seemed to be strongly stimulated and resisted violently.
Even the wooden frame behind him kept making harsh noises due to his struggle, as if it would break at any time.
"What are you going to do? Don't touch her!" He yelled at Wayne like he was losing his mind.
The maid also looked slightly scared.
Wayne smiled coldly and said, "I insist on touching her, what can you do to me?"
——At this moment, even Wayne himself felt as if he was possessed by the villain.
