"What are you talking about?" The old man's face changed suddenly, and a look of panic flashed across his eyes. Then he seemed to think of something again, and said in a deep voice, "Did Alyssa tell you?"
"No, she just came to me hoping that I could testify for her that she had nothing to do with Torres changing his mind. But when I asked her who was the mastermind, she refused to say, well...but it doesn't matter, no. The act of being willing to say it is an answer in itself." Li Yu said.
"I asked myself, who in the castle deserves her such protection, and whose words she has to listen to even if she doesn't want to, and then I easily thought of you.
"You are the eldest person alive in the Arias family. The other young people in the family are your descendants. Ilea and Blanca are your great-granddaughters and great-grandsons. Ruth, Alisa, and Torres They are also your direct blood relatives. You don't talk much in the family, so you are easily ignored.
"But when you decide to speak, everyone needs to listen respectfully and respect your ideas, and even obey you unconditionally. Previously at the Marquis Palace, when you said that Ilea was an Arias, whether it was Val Nessa was still Dias, and she immediately didn’t dare to make any further fuss about this matter.
"In fact, I should have thought of it earlier. Only you have the ability to determine the results before the election begins. You asked Antonio to use lies to stabilize Ilea, and then wrote to your grandson in the royal capital, forcing him to Blanca was chosen at the last minute.
"Torres has a close relationship with Alisa, but he can't disobey your orders. You even asked everyone to perform a play together, keeping Ilea in the dark."
Li Yu's answer was methodical, which also made Ona feel a chill in her heart.
Back in the Marquis' Mansion, she had witnessed Li Yu defeating an entire army and finally helping Ilea complete an almost impossible comeback. At that time, she was quite afraid of this foreigner who ruined her plan.
But at that time, she was just a bystander, but now she was finally lucky enough to go into battle and experience the horror of this guy.
Just by looking at the awkward attitude Alisa showed when she came to the door, one could follow the clues and figure out that she was the mastermind behind the scenes. Is this guy really just a commoner as he said?
Ona was no stranger to those untouchables. They worked in the fields from dawn to dusk every day in order to fill their stomachs. How could they develop such keen observation and careful thinking?
Even with their simple interpersonal relationships, they were simply unable to cope with the intrigues and intrigues among the nobles.
The foreigner in black clothes in front of her gave her the feeling that he had been living in a similar complex environment for a long time, and he had long been accustomed to all this, so he could behave with such ease.
At this moment, Ona somehow thought of Antonio again that day.
When his own voice suddenly echoed over the Marquis Palace, he was so desperate and frightened. Now it was Ona's turn to experience this feeling.
Li Yu's voice did not stop, "Actually, with your influence in the family, you can directly express your support for Blanca's rise to power. Even if Ilea is dissatisfied, there is nothing she can do about it, but you chose to sacrifice the near for the distant. It was such a big circle, and in the end, the candidate I really wanted was eliminated. It was really...
"I don't know what to say. I definitely wouldn't do this. So I can only roughly guess what you were thinking at that time. You brought up Ilea since you were a child. You know that your great-grandson My daughter has a very small mind and always has a clear sense of grudges.
"If you and others stand up for Blanca directly, she will probably resent you for it, so you create the illusion that people are actually more willing to stand with her, so that even if Blanca ends up being Lord, Ilea will not have any complaints against the family.
"So you can continue to send her back to the Silver Moon Church as planned. If she can grow into a backbone of the church in the future, then when the Arias family needs the help of the Silver Moon Church, Ilea will definitely be willing to help the family. pay."
"You don't understand anything!" After experiencing the initial shock, the old man finally recovered a little and said, "Ilea's child's character is not suitable for becoming a lord at all, especially at this time."
"A time like this?"
"The Arias family is facing an unprecedented crisis, and we need a mature leader to find allies for us and lead us through this crisis."
"It doesn't matter whether Ilea is suitable to be a lord or not, her brother Blanca is not much better than her." Li Yu said.
"I'm not talking about Blanca, but his mother Vanessa. No matter how you think of her, you have to admit one thing, that is, she is a very skillful woman, and she also has the courage and outstanding ability to be as good as a man. Communicative means.”
Now that both parties have spoken out, Ona simply no longer hides anything, "I raised Ilea by myself. Of course I love that child very much. If it were normal times, I wouldn't mind giving her a chance." Fair play to Blanca, but not now, as a member of the Arias family, the interests of the family should always be placed above personal likes and dislikes."
"Why not now?" Li Yu asked.
The old man did not answer, but asked instead, "Since you knew it was me who asked Torres to switch to Blanca, why didn't you tell Ilea?"
"Well, because of the series of methods you and Vanessa used, they successfully aroused Ilea's distrust of family members. This is actually not conducive to her rule in Green Field, and she is a very emotional person. , if I tell her this matter, she will probably completely break away from her kin in a fit of rage."
"Isn't this just right, so that you can further control her."
"I didn't control her. Ilea encountered difficulties. As her relatives, you people are unwilling to help. She had no other choice but to come to me... So instead of accusing me of taking too much care, , it is better to think about how to share some of the pressure with her, instead of desperately causing trouble for her and continuing to push her towards me.
"Whether you want to admit it or not, Ilea is now the owner of this land. Since you keep saying that you put your family first, it's about time you moved your butt back from Vanessa and Blanca. "Li Yu reminded.
"…………"
Ona fell into silence again. After a while, her attitude finally softened. She no longer looked as aggressive as before, and she looked like an ordinary old man.
She clarified, "I haven't contacted Vanessa since she escaped. The note has nothing to do with me. Is the child entrusting you to investigate this matter now? If so, I also hope you can Find the person who put the note as soon as possible."
After saying that, she shook her body and took the initiative to make way for Li Yu.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
