"I've seen this Howard before."
What? Wasn't this unlucky guy the one who dragged him into being arrested?
Probably understanding Mai Fan's expression, the Black Tower quickly expressed his loyalty: "No sir, don't get me wrong, our arrest has absolutely nothing to do with this Howard."
"Their purchase of us was also very serendipitous."
"I'm sure Howard didn't recognize me. After all, there is still a big difference between me before and me now."
"It is precisely because I have become what I am now that I can no longer continue to work in the army of the Clan of Light."
"Then I went to the middle of the two boundaries and formed a mercenary team to earn a little money to support my family."
"And my encounter with Howard was when I was still serving in the Army of Light."
"So, what happened to us has absolutely nothing to do with me."
"Sir, it is absolutely not because of me that I have put you in this situation."
"All of this can only be said to be a coincidence."
Mai Fan believed that being caught here had nothing to do with the black iron tower in front of him.
Maybe this black forty-four knights mercenary group ended up in this situation because of themselves.
As for Howard, Mai Fan suspected that someone had chosen it deliberately.
If you didn't know him very well and wanted to kill him, you wouldn't have allowed so many coincidences to happen.
So, what is my identity that makes it worth the enemy's efforts to get rid of him?
Mai Fan thought for a moment and then asked: "Don't worry, I absolutely believe in you."
"If it's true as you said, after you get here, there is no need for you to continue to protect me and take care of my daily life."
"I just can't figure out who did this."
Hearing this question, Black Iron Tower was hesitant to speak. Mai Fan saw it and nodded at him, telling him not to worry and just speak freely.
After receiving the approval, the Black Iron Tower said: "Perhaps your existence, sir, threatens the position of the legitimate heir of the Welik family."
"This Willick family has never heard of Mr. You before we took over the mission."
"But after Mr. comes out, everyone in the Silver Capital will know his name."
"It is said that he is the old head of the Wilik family. He came back from the birthplace and is a key figure who can make the Wilik family go further."
"If it hadn't been for the fact that once Mr. joined the Willick family, he would have lived in seclusion and never participated in public activities."
"I'm afraid everyone will think that things have changed since Mr. Willick came back."
"In my opinion, it must be the group of people from the Willick family who are most likely to inherit the title, Willick."
"Take advantage of the opportunity for Mr. to go to the mysterious country alone to visit the Floating Family in the Mage Tower, and directly get rid of his most powerful heir."
"Put all the blame on the dark robber."
"Even if the head of the family knew who did it, he would not be able to attack Mr. Williklek when his life or death is uncertain."
"Because an important heir of a family has disappeared, we can't also destroy the other one."
"For the sake of the overall situation, the head of Wilik's family will also suppress this matter and endure this tone."
"That's the most obvious clue I can get."
Listening to what Black Iron Tower said, Mai Fan suddenly asked: "You said the Willick family is very powerful?"
"What kind of existence are they equivalent to in the Silver Empire?"
"You must know that after I was taken back to the family, I mainly faced my tutor and the servants responsible for daily life."
"We have not yet come into contact with the external power of this family."
"I have to figure out what the situation is like for our family outside."
'A great nobleman? 'Or is it the existence of a privileged family? '
Could it be an enemy outside the Willick family who did this?
Mai Fan's suspicion was rejected by the Black Iron Tower: "How is this possible? The Willick family is the largest family in the Silver Empire besides the king."
"No other great nobles in this country are as powerful as the Willick family when they unite together."
"Their blood is noble. There are many knights and warriors in the family, and there was even the top paladin."
"Many senior officers in the king's army to defend against foreign enemies come from the Willick family, and are even personally selected and trained by this family."
"As for the relationship with the royal family, it is also very close."
"Many men and women in the Wilik family have intermarryed with the royal family."
"Just like Willick's current heir, he was born to the eldest princess of the royal family."
"If the Welik family is damaged, who will be most affected, it is none other than the royal family of the Silver Empire."
"So, in the Silver Empire, the young master's family is going sideways."
The more you say this, the more problematic it becomes.
When the power of a powerful minister is greater than that of the king, would it be strange not to do something in order to maintain his dominance?
Mai Fan suddenly asked another question: "How many of the women in the Willik family who married into the royal family gave birth to children?"
"Which of these heirs are you raising as heirs?"
"Do the current king and the eldest princess have the blood of the Willick family?"
As long as one of the above questions is consistent, then Mai Fan's guess will not be established.
But after Mai Fan asked... the Black Iron Tower started to think.
After thinking for a long time, he said with a sudden look on his face: "No, not really!"
"I grew up in the Silver Empire, and was later selected to join the United Army of Light."
"Before leaving the Silver Empire, the royal family and Willick were so close that no one realized how unreasonable the answers to these questions you asked were."
"The Willick family has been married to the royal family of the Silver Empire for several generations."
"Except for the first few generations of marriage, there were heirs of Willick's blood. However, in recent generations, no royal family member of Willick's blood has been born in the royal family for a long time."
"Whether it's a prince or a princess..."
"Also, after the first few generations of heirs with Willick's blood were born, there were also people who grew up safely."
"But these people all lost in the competition for heirs, and their endings don't seem too good."
If you think about it this way, it's too suspicious.
If Mai Fan's guess is correct, the Welik family has been on guard against the royal family from the very beginning.
