At the end of the long bronze table, on the seat that symbolized the highest status, a man with blond hair and blue eyes, with an appearance as handsome as an angel, suddenly appeared.
"Ahem...sir!"
Matt finally managed to catch his breath, and quickly knelt down on one knee, lowering his head to show respect.
Jessica raised her head, her eyes filled with deep obsession, and said softly: "Lord Hasward, why did you come here suddenly?"
Hasward leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes wandered from the two of them, and said calmly: "It seems that you have a good relationship, but you must also be careful when fighting. Matt is not our enemy, do you understand?"
"Yes, Lord Hasward!"
Jessica saw a hint of dissatisfaction with her in Hasward's eyes, and immediately felt a chill in her heart. She quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "I understand, and I will be more careful in the future."
This doesn't count as 'playing' by any means, right?
Matt glanced at Jessica who was giving in, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and there was a feeling of fear in his heart.
Jessica really wanted to kill him!
In this crazy woman's eyes, he didn't see any hesitation, only naked and pure murderous intent!
If Hasward hadn't appeared in time, he would probably be a dead body now!
"Sir, there is something I want to report!"
Matt took a deep breath and put these things behind him, not intending to give up the idea of saving those children because of Jessica's threat.
"Matt!!!"
Jessica suddenly raised her head, feeling frightened and angry, with murderous intent crazily filling her eyes.
She didn't expect that Matt would be so bold, knowing that the consequences of doing so would be serious, but he still persisted in it!
She suddenly regretted why she didn't kill Matt just now!
Hasward had just arrived, so he didn't know about the previous conversation between the two. Seeing Jessica reacting so violently, he frowned and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Matt ignored Jessica who was glaring at the side, and shook out everything about his encounter with the fanatics, the missing children, and the sacrifice of living beings and the God of Darkness.
"Zealots and Dark Gods?"
After Hasward listened carefully, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes. He tapped his slender index finger on the long bronze table and said slowly: "Tell me in detail about the fanatics and the God of Darkness. There’s just a little bit missing!”
"Sir, it's like this..."
Matt combined his own speculations about the fanatic organization and the God of Darkness with his previous speculations. After sorting and summarizing them, he recounted them logically and clearly.
During this period, the anger in Jessica's eyes seemed to be real, and she wanted to eat Matt alive!
In her opinion, rashly intervening in this matter will most likely attract the attention of Soul Society. Lord Hasward will definitely be implicated, and he may even fight a captain-level Shinigami!
For Jessica, who regards Hasward as the 'sun', this is absolutely intolerable!
If it weren't for the fact that Hasward was still there, Jessica would have gone crazy at this moment and nailed Matt, that damn bastard, to the wall with the Holy Destruction Arrow!
Without much fuss, Matt completely described the cause and effect of the whole incident, as well as all the details and clues.
"Casillas..."
Hasward was thoughtful, and he was roughly 70-80% sure.
Because of the spiritual connection with Lord, all the words Hasward heard were transmitted to Lord's ears without missing a word.
Casillas comes from the movie version of Doctor Strange and is one of Strange's old enemies!
It is worth mentioning that Casillas comes from Karma Taj and is a powerful mage second only to Strange in talent. After discovering the secret of the Ancient One devouring dark power to extend his life, he led a considerable number of Karma Taj's mage defected,
Then they established an organization called the Fanatics, which believed in Dormammu in the dark dimension, pursued immortality, destroyed the three temples of Kama Taj, and allowed Dormammu to descend as the ultimate goal of an evil magic organization!
But in addition, in Lord's opinion, there is another doubt about the whole thing described by Ma Ma!
Why did the fanatics led by Casillas secretly capture those children?
If it is said that these souls are to be sacrificed to Dormammu, this reason is a bit too far-fetched!
You know, Dormammu is a single universe-level powerhouse, and all his magic power comes from the dark dimension. The only people he can take notice of are those from the Earth's latitude.
It is impossible for Casillas not to understand this. It is obviously unrealistic to sacrifice dozens of human souls in an attempt to impress Dormammu.
Moreover, to Dormammu, who controls the dark dimension, dozens or hundreds of human souls are as small as dust!
This is as ridiculous as holding a hundred dollars in your hand and trying to bribe a certain boss!
Unless Casillas has the ability to sacrifice the entire human soul to Dormammu, it may be possible to satisfy the huge appetite of the Lord of the Dark Dimension.
But the problem is that Casillas doesn't have this ability, and Dormammu doesn't dare to devour human souls.
That being the case, why did Casillas kidnap the child and claim to sacrifice it to the God of Darkness?
unless......
Casillas is simply lying. In the name of sacrificing to Dormammu, he secretly uses these children to do other things!
Hasward's expression changed slightly, and he felt that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed.
"I generally understand."
Hasward pushed the frame of the mirror with one hand and said calmly: "Are you sure about the source of your intelligence? Do you have any questions?"
"I am sure!"
Matt thought about it carefully and said with great certainty: "He told me himself that he is Casillas, the leader of the fanatics, and he asked us not to go too far."
"What do you want me to do?"
Hasward had no expression on his face and stared at Matt who was kneeling with burning eyes.
"I want to ask adults to take action and save those children!"
Matt lowered his head deeply. He understood that it was absolutely impossible to save those children with his own strength, so he could only place his hope on Hasward.
"No, I don't agree!"
Jessica immediately stood up to object: "Lord Hasward, the Invisible Empire is still in the hidden stage. Once we choose to interfere with the fanatics' affairs, it will easily attract the attention of the Soul Society. This is too dangerous for us. Got it!"
"Promise him."
Lord's voice suddenly sounded.
Hasward looked as usual. He tapped his index finger on the long bronze table, making a crisp sound. He pretended to think for a while and said, "I agree to your request."
