Belinda's organisation was clearly subordinate to the Trial's Eye. She had even used Port Elias as a transit point to transport large amounts of prohibited goods over, preparing to launch a plan against the Nefarious Filthbird's organisation.
Directly with,
Unfortunately, because of Leylin's intrusion, this plan had suffered a fatal blow before it could even begin!
Due to Leylin's information, the arrangements at Port Elias had been completely exposed. Even the various organisations and the people in charge had been uprooted. Only Belinda had escaped under Leylin's protection.
To a faction like Trial's Eye, this was an intolerable humiliation!
There was also the huge loss of resources and intelligence, which they could not bear.
As a result, Belinda's superior, Bayclark, immediately rushed over with his army and broke through Port Elias in one fell swoop.
With Bayclark's strength as a Rank 5 expert, the Elias governor, who was only a Rank 4, had no way of resisting.
Everything should have gone smoothly, and the Elias governor did not have any support in the Hail Continent.
However, it was a pity that plans were always just plans. It was easy for variables to appear, especially since Leylin had already set his eyes on Bayclark. Hence, Bayclark's previous performances were all tragic.
In the end, under Leylin's deliberate arrangements, not only did the Governor of Elias and the other higher-ups of the Nefarious Filthbird successfully escape, even the rank 5 Sacrificer, Bayclark, was sacrificed to the Nefarious Filthbird. This temporarily resolved his problems, and Bayclark's truesoul was annihilated.
Even in the Purgatory World, a rank 5 powerhouse was very rare, especially a Sacrificer. They were middle to high level in Belinda's organisation, and were even completely in charge of this region.
The fall of such a person was a huge disaster for Belinda and the others!
Although Belinda had tried her best to salvage the situation, this conflict was resolved after they had finished packing up their troops and returned to their base.
In the end, it still couldn't help but erupt.
No!
Perhaps this was not a contradiction, but a conspiracy!
The moment Belinda stood out, she became the sacrificial lamb and scapegoat in the eyes of the other Morning Stars.
"Why?
How did things turn out this way? "
Belinda leaned against a corner and crossed her arms, as if doing so would bring her a bit of warmth. In reality, with her body's constitution, she wouldn't feel cold unless she reached absolute zero.
But inside.
She did it subconsciously.
She was now in a cold and damp dark room. There were a large number of reinforcement runes on the walls, and the door was a cold steel fence. Not far away, there were even a few members of the Sea Tribe watching over her with cold eyes.
Morning Star forcefield undulations were emitted from the other party's body without the slightest bit of concealment. It was the marine race that had fought alongside Belinda.
But now, they had already turned their guns around.
He even put Belinda under house arrest.
And the crime was actually the laughable "colluding with the enemy"!!!
Belinda really wanted to laugh.
Sending troops to Port Elias was a unanimous decision made by the higher-ups, but in the end, Bayclark did it because of her bewitchment.
Even Belinda's actions to calm the army after the leader of the Allied Army was captured were described as proof that she was gathering power.
And the reason why she would do so.
Other than colluding with the enemy, was there any other explanation?
Moreover, compared to the Evil-Eyed Race and the Merfolk who originally worshipped the Trial's Eye, she, a descendant of the Alabaster Devilsnake, was extremely out of place.
Wouldn't that make him a ready-made target?
It had to be said that whenever there were suspicions of spies, outsiders like her would always be the first to be shot.
"Belinda, are you feeling better?" At this moment, another voice sounded from the side, causing Belinda to raise her head slightly.
Using the dim light, she saw the figure of another of her kind. After seeing him, Belinda's lips curved into a bitter smile, "Nick, you've been captured too?"
The shadow puppet controlled by Intelligent Entity No. 1 looked at Belinda with a 'worried' expression.
When the Merfolk had suddenly turned hostile, Belinda had been like a puppet without the slightest bit of resistance.
As Intelligent Entity No. 1, Nick, who actually only had the strength of a shadow puppet, naturally did not dare to make a move and was locked up with her.
Fortunately, perhaps because they were worried that overly violent methods would cause resistance and unnecessary casualties, he and Belinda were only placed under house arrest. Their truesouls were not sealed, and they were even locked up together.
[The target is currently at a low ebb, and her thoughts are confused. Appropriate psychological consolation can increase her favourable impression of you!]
At this moment, an analysis appeared within the shadow puppet. However, without Leylin's orders, its mission was to do its best to not expose Nick's identity. This sort of emotional action was something that intelligent entities found the hardest to do. Hence, Nick stood there woodenly, as if he had been dealt a blow.
"So — sorry!
I've dragged you in as well. But don't worry Nick, the Master of Order that our organisation believes in is the fairest and most just. He will definitely clear our names, and you'll regain your freedom very soon … "
A trace of disappointment flashed through Belinda's eyes when she saw Nick like this. She unconsciously hugged him even tighter as she spoke in a low voice through the gaps between her arms.
"This girl, she still hasn't given up hope?"
A transparent shadow passed through the walls that were filled with all sorts of seals and restrictions, merging into the cell.
Seeing Belinda in this state, Leylin's lips curled into a strange smile, "Why is it always me who has to destroy a child's pure fantasies?"
The transparent figure merged into Nick's body, and Intelligent One was taken over by the A.I. Chip. To outsiders, Nick's eyes seemed to lose focus for a moment before returning to normal.
This change was not noticed by anyone.
After retrieving the shadow puppet and the intelligent entity, Nick had now become the real Leylin.
After receiving the alert from the intelligent entity, Leylin had sped up and rushed here in the shortest time possible. The guards and spell formations outside were not a problem for him at all.
In terms of spell formations and runes, the research of the Magi in the Magus World was miles ahead of the marine tribe here.
Leylin had now recovered most of his strength, and it was much easier for him to use all sorts of methods. Most importantly, he was now a rank 4 Sacrificer of the Nefarious Filthbird, and had its Feather of Chaos. It was much easier for him to break through the seals set up by the Trial's Eye.
Not only were the two mortal enemies, their powers were also mutually restrained.
Of course, compared to Leylin, the marine tribe outside were nothing.
"Belinda!"
Leylin spoke slowly, his voice low, "Don't tell me that even now, you still have delusions about the marine tribe outside?"
"Delusions?
No!
Even if they are blinded by benefits and greed, the Master of Order will come to save me … "Belinda said resolutely.
With her devotion to the Trial's Eye, even Leylin felt that it was a waste of talent for her to still be a mere rank 3 Sacrificer.
"Yes!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the slander of the marine tribe. It's not just the venerable Trial's Eye, even the other higher-ups know about it … "
Leylin spoke indifferently, even with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"But … So what?" Before Belinda could open her mouth, Leylin had already continued to speak.
"The current situation is Bayclark's disappearance and the failure of this operation. Someone needs to take responsibility!
Bayclark is an elder of the Beholder Tribe and has deep influence. He was captured in battle, but there is still a chance of survival. No one would rashly punish a rank 5 … "
"The rest can only be found from you people. The marine tribe are basically one, and if we really want to punish them, we have to change the blood of both you and them …"
At this point, Leylin saw Belinda's shoulders tremble even more violently, but he still continued, "But the losses caused by such a change are definitely not something the higher-ups like you would want to see. Hence, we can't really pursue this matter. We need to find a scapegoat, or should I say, a sacrifice!"
"And now, is there a more suitable candidate than you?
As an outsider, without any background, you can't unite like the marine tribe to protect yourself … "
Leylin's voice became teasing.
"No!
Even if they are all like this, mighty Trial's Eye!
The fair and just dignitary will definitely not give up on me … "
Belinda raised her head, her scarlet eyes filled with madness and despair.
"I don't have any opinion on this!"
Leylin shook his head, "However, I hope you understand that if the Trial's Eye insisted on absolute fairness and justice, it would have fallen long ago and disappeared in the dust of history. To be able to survive until now and spread its way to more worlds, it must know how to compromise. Or rather, to be able to maintain a relative degree of fairness and justice, this is already a great success for the Trial's Eye …"
"No!
I don't believe it!
I don't believe it! "
The despair in Belinda's eyes spread, but she still felt as if her bones had been pulled out of her, and she collapsed into a ball.
"Eh?
She can't take the blow?
Could it be that she's thinking of something from back then? "
Leylin shook his head inwardly, "Isn't this foreign race's spirit a little too weak? Or did she suffer some kind of injury?"
