Chapter 485: No choice

"I lost!"

Ulysses threw away the broom handle with only half an inch left in his hand, and simply admitted defeat generously. This performance was completely different from his previous competitive behavior.

Ethan didn't know why the other party acted like this, but since he had taken the sword and the matter was over, he said goodbye.

But Ulysses stopped him again: "Sir Ethan, I want to ask, do you still remember Lucia?"

Hearing this, Ethan stopped and said, "Of course I remember, but why did Lord Ulysses suddenly mention her?"

Ulysses said with a troubled expression: "Can I talk to you alone?"

Ethan looked back at Sophia and said, "Don't bother me. There are no outsiders here. If you want to say anything, please just say it. I'm all ears."

"Okay then!" Ulysses nodded: "Actually, I just want to tell you that the [Coordinator] goes to the children's welfare home outside the imperial capital every Thursday night.

There was a secret basement a hundred meters deep underground, and she would stay there alone for a long time every time. "

Ethan suddenly frowned: "Your Excellency Ulysses, you suddenly mentioned these things and it seemed that you meant something. Why don't you say it clearly?"

"Since you stopped when I mentioned Lucia's name, why do you pretend not to understand what I meant?" Ulysses asked.

Ethan smiled: "So you want to avenge Lucia? And then let me do it?"

"Don't you want to?" Ulysses smiled slightly: "I will never misjudge the person, so why do you have to pretend in front of me."

Ethan immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Excellency Ulysses, if you want to avenge an unrelated person, then go alone, please don't take me with you!

If there's nothing else, I'll leave first! "

After saying that, Ethan turned around and left without hesitation.

Ulysses stopped Ethan again: "You may not have been a match for the [Coordinator] before, but now you are an ascended one, why are you still hesitating?"

Ethan replied without looking back: "Your Excellency Ulysses, I admire your justice, but unfortunately I don't really agree with your approach.

alright! I'll take my leave now! "

After saying that, Ethan picked up Sophia and flew away.

After flying a certain distance, Sophia suddenly said with a smile but not a smile: "If you talk briefly and talk deeply, you are either stupid or bad!"

After hearing this, Ethan lowered his head, looked at Sophia with a strange expression, and joked: "You seem to have something in mind!"

"No!" Sophia smiled and said, "I just praised you for how well you handled it. What Ulysses just said seems to be just, but in fact he is testing you!"

"What are you testing me for?"

"Ethan, you can pretend to be stupid with others, but don't pretend to be stupid with me! I know you want to avenge Lucia. Otherwise, you would not send a spy to follow Doctor West to the imperial capital, nor would you seize Arsino The Duke won’t let go.”

Ethan smiled coquettishly: "So you already knew it!"

"Since you don't want me to know, then I can only pretend not to know." Sofia said with a teasing look on her face.

"Haha!" Ethan laughed: "Then why don't you pretend now."

"Because Duke Arsinoe has already begun to doubt you, and I'm afraid that if I keep pretending, something will happen."

"Huh?" Ethan opened his eyes wide: "Why do you say that?"

Sofia did not answer the question directly, but talked about another thing.

"Ulysses is known as the [Anti-Judge]. He has always been an image of justice in the hearts of the people of the imperial capital. This is mainly because he often stood up for the civilians when he was young.

Back then, as long as there was something he couldn't stand, he would stand up and uphold justice.

And he often relied on the strength of the Great Sword Master to kill people, which offended many people.

However, in view of his great sword master's strength and his popularity among the people, although many people hated him, they did not dare to do anything to him.

But all this changed when he got married and had children.

His wife was a civilian he had rescued. The two had always been very affectionate and gave birth to a child for him shortly after their marriage.

But one day Ulysses came home and found that his wife and under-month-old child were missing, so he hurriedly went outside to look for them.

The result?

He found his wife and children hanged on the execution ground where he often publicly executed prisoners.

Others were desperate at the time.

This wasn't over yet, there was something even more desperate for him.

When he wanted to track down the murderer, those near the execution site could attest that it was no one's business.

It was his wife who claimed in public that she and the child were guilty, and then hanged the child first and then herself.

During this period, no one stepped forward to stop it. Everyone just watched this tragedy happen as if watching a play.

He couldn't believe all this, and then... went crazy and killed those who testified.

He no longer cares about the truth, he just wants to maintain his wife's reputation and vent his anger.

Then unknowingly, he trampled on the fairness, justice, laws and regulations that he had always upheld.

And the fact that he killed someone so blatantly in the street must have aroused public outrage, and several strong men teamed up to almost execute him on the spot.

If my teacher hadn't appeared and saved his life, he would have become history by now.

Although he was lucky enough to survive, he later became taciturn and has been guarding the gate of Merlin Academy ever since.

When someone could sneak into Merlin Academy to commit murder, I always thought he didn't want to cause trouble, so he deliberately pretended not to know.

But now, judging from his performance, he is obviously an accomplice.

He is no longer the righteous judge he was before, but has become someone's slave both physically and mentally. "

After hearing this, Ethan sighed: "So you are saying this to tell me to stop the action against the Duke of Arsinoe?"

"No!" Sophia shook her finger: "Yiyi, on the contrary, I hope you can act as soon as possible, and act directly, don't have the illusion of solving everything secretly."

"Huh?" Ethan smiled and said: "This is strange. Didn't you always advise me not to act, don't act, why did you suddenly change your temper? "

"I don't want you to act, but is it up to you to choose now?" Sophia replied: "You also saw that Ulysses came to test you on behalf of the Duke of Arsinoe.

This shows that people have already suspected that you are not making things difficult for others for the sake of interests.

And once the seeds of suspicion are planted, no matter how well you performed just now, you can't stop the seeds from taking root and sprouting.

Sooner or later, they will find out your true purpose.

And once they find out that you are seeking revenge, they will definitely not follow the rules.

I just told you about their methods, which made the wife kill her own child in public.

They act in such a way that they will do whatever it takes, and will treat you as the most important thing and ruthlessly abuse you.

I don't want to experience the feelings of Ulysses' wife.

So, please, while you are at your strongest, kill them all by any means.

Remember, if there is any threat, kill them all without leaving a single one.

Especially the [Coordinator], his head must be brought back. ”

“As you wish! My dear Queen Sofia!”
