What? He wasn’t arrested because of this unlucky guy, right?
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."
“They bought us by accident.”
“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 like this that I can no longer continue to serve in the army of the people 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’s absolutely not because of me that I’ve put you in this situation.”
“All of this can only be said to be a coincidence.”
Mai Fan believed that his being caught here had absolutely nothing to do with the black iron tower in front of him.
Perhaps this Black Forty-Four Knights Mercenary Group ended up in this situation because of themselves.
As for the place Howard, Mai Fandu 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 your identity that makes it worth the enemy’s trouble to get rid of?
Mai Fan thought for a moment and then asked: "Don't worry, I absolutely believe in you."
“If it’s really what you said, after you get here, there is no need for you to continue to protect my safety 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: "Probably your presence, sir, threatens the status of the legitimate heir of the Wilick family."
“This Willick family, before we took the mission, had never heard of Mr. You.”
“But after Mr. comes out, everyone in the Silver Capital will know his name.”
“It is said that the old head of the Wilik family came back from the birthplace and is a key figure who can make the Wilik family go further.”
“If it weren’t for the moment Mr. joined the Willick family, he would have lived in seclusion and never participated in public activities.”
“I’m afraid everyone will think that everything has changed since Mr. Willick came back.”
“According to my opinion, it must have been done by the group of people from the Willick family, Willick, who are most likely to inherit the title.”
“Take advantage of the opportunity of Mr. going 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 abolish 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 Wilik 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.”
‘Great nobles?’ Or ‘the existence of privileged families?’
Could it be an enemy outside the Willick family who did these things?
McFan's suspicion was vetoed by the Black Iron Tower: "How is this possible? The Wilik family is the largest family in the Silver Empire besides the king."
“Other great nobles in this country combined together are not as powerful as the Wilik family.”
“Their bloodline is noble, and there are many knights, warriors, and even top paladins in the family.”
“Many senior officers in the king’s army to resist foreign enemies are 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 Willick family have intermarryed with the royal family.”
“It’s like Willick’s current heir, who was born to the eldest princess of the royal family.”
“If the Wilik 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 moves sideways.”
The more you say this, the more problematic it becomes.
When the powerful ministers have more power than the king, wouldn’t it be strange that they don’t do something to maintain their dominance?
Mai Fan suddenly asked another question: "How many of the women in the Wilik family who married into the royal family gave birth to children?"
“Which of the heirs have any of them been raised 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 Maifan'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 Willik 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 families of the Silver Empire for several generations.”
“Except for the first few generations of marriage, there were also heirs of the Willick bloodline born, but in recent generations, there have been no royal members of the Willick family’s blood 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 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.”
It seems too suspicious if you think about it this way.
If Mai Fan's guess is correct, from the very beginning, the Willik family has been on the alert of the royal family.
