"Medea?"

When Medea finished today's acceleration plan and was about to return to the manor, Sheila stopped her from behind.

"Um?"

"About the incident of people dying in the hotel." Sheila said thoughtfully, "Don't you feel any malice? I remember that you should have a conspiracy sequence."

"I said no, do you believe it?" Medea smiled.

"To be honest, I don't really believe it." Sheila said lightly, "However, there is currently no evidence for me to doubt you."

"In this case, I'd better explain it." Medea said with a smile, "Conspiracy and intuition ability, although they are known as the two life-saving sequences, are actually not completely unsolvable."

"One of the characteristics of the conspiracy ability is to sense malice. That is to say, as long as there is no corresponding malice, the person with the conspiracy ability cannot sense it."

"Killing people without causing any ill will?" Sheila was a little shocked, "Is this possible?"

"You can do it through psychic abilities," Medea said. "Through hypnosis, you can temporarily suppress the emotional part of the mental body, leaving only pure reason, and then formulate a battle plan in this state."

"In this case, all planning links are designed to accomplish a certain goal. Even if it involves killing, for the plan maker, it is done to complete the plan and does not have any malicious intent against a specific object. .”

"You mean..." Sheila suddenly realized, "'Destroy you, but it has nothing to do with you.'"

"That's right." Medea said, "Have you ever heard of 'anti-socialists'? Some people do not have strong malice when they cause large-scale destruction and killing, because they do not have strong intentions in their hearts. Harming another person is considered hostile or aggressive behavior."

"Use your psychic abilities to hypnotize people so that people don't regard doing evil as evil." Sheila nodded, "I understand."

"That is to say, the conspirators behind the scenes used psychic abilities to make arrangements without causing any malicious intent. The half-elf woman at the scene immediately assassinated Asik after receiving the order, leaving us with no time to react."

"As for why such precautions are taken, the bloodline composition of the Purgatory Succubus is not a secret to some people, right?" Medea nodded and said, "So, what is the portrait of the planner?"

"A person who knows a lot about extraordinary knowledge and is skilled in designing conspiracies and inciting people's emotions." Sheila said in a deep voice, "A qualified politician."

"And he is in a high position." Medea added, "According to what the demigod guarding the prison pointed out, he should be the political enemy of the half-elf queen."

"At the same time, there is a high probability that she also has the rank of demigod." Sheila thought thoughtfully, "Speaking of this, what is the queen's political orientation?"

"Let me just make a random guess. The queen should be friendly to humans and has a very high prestige among the half-elves." Medea thought, "That's why political opponents want to provoke hatred towards us, essentially against the human race. Take this opportunity to criticize the Queen."

"The battle between the reformists and the conservatives." Sheila sighed leisurely, "Do you still remember that Eleanor's plan mentioned the current situation of the half-elves."

"In the Badajoz Jungle in the east, residents have been able to accept human technological products; while in the Dark Forest in the west, many half-elves even insist on using traditional bows and arrows."

“For the Queen, as a person in power, uniting dissidents is more important than creating conflicts, even if she supports internal innovation and openness to the outside world.”

"However, it happened to be at this point in time that the undead kingdom of the southern continent began to invade the Iberian Peninsula, and the human kingdom of Aragon and Castile bore the brunt."

"The half-elf Lusitania Forest is protected by the Doniana Swamp and the Morena Mountains, so there is no need to worry about safety for the time being. But if the humans in Iberia are defeated, the undead occupying this land will definitely turn their attention to To the West.”

"So this also involves the differences between isolationism and diplomacy." Medea followed Sheila's meaning and guessed, "The queen is a reformist, a leader of openness and diplomacy, so her political opponents deliberately caused bloodshed Conflict and racism.”

"If our guess is true, the next step is to incite the masses to further put pressure on the Queen's reformists." Sheila continued to deduce, "Once the emotions of the masses are incited..."

"Then we will become a symbol, representing the symbol of the reformists." Medea laughed and said, "Whether we killed the half-elf guide is no longer important. Anyone who insists on conservatism and Isolationist half-elves will try their best to prove this point from various angles."

"That is: As humans, we had ulterior motives. While sneaking into the Lusitania Forest, we also brazenly attacked and killed the half-elf guide who was monitoring us."

“Alas.” Silla sighed, and couldn’t help but think of the past.

Back in the upper echelons of the Eastern Solomon Empire, her sister had used a similar method (a signed and sealed edict) to directly bring the conflict between the sisters to the public, thereby forcing the Orthodox Church to make a choice between the two. ?

This time, it was the mastermind behind the murder who designed the murder, which exploded the half-elves' fear, suspicion and discrimination against humans, forcing all half-elves to make a choice between two.

The result is that the half-elf community is further divided, causing the queen's prestige and control over her people to decline. This is of course detrimental to the half-elves as a whole, but it is a great benefit to the individual political opponents...

Sheila thought silently, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Medea, who was almost walking away:

"where you go?"

"Go back to the cell in the main plane and go to sleep." Medea waved her hand, "Don't forget, we are in a prison."

Sheila was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered... They were still in the half-elf prison at this time!

Although the demigod guarding the prison seemed to have no ill intentions toward them, that didn't mean he wouldn't come to inspect them.

When Ask is guarding the main plane, as long as he hears the other party's footsteps walking on the stairs leading to the lower level of the prison, he can come in in time to find Medea or Nora, and say something in the psychic communication channel to let everyone know in time. Send it out again.

As for late at night, of course everyone must return to the main plane to sleep. Otherwise, if they stay in the manor on Hearth Island, when the demigods come down and see that there is one person missing in the cell, a lot of unnecessary trouble will occur.

Looking at the night above Hearth Island, Sheila sighed quietly, and then teleported back to the main plane.

Then, she saw the girls sitting around the bed, with different expressions of shyness, embarrassment, timidity, hesitation... on their faces.

oh. Sheila understood immediately.

There is only one bed in the room.

Then I heard Aske say:

"How about I sleep on the floor tonight..."

"Let's take turns," Eleanor said softly.

"Take turns?" Medea sneered, "This bed can probably sleep three people at the same time. How about taking turns? Who will sleep with the leader when it is his turn?"

"Of course I sleep alone." Aske said righteously.

"You sleep alone, and we girls have to squeeze in to sleep. Are you embarrassed?" Medea immediately gave him a look.

Asker:? ? ?

Although it sounds unfair, why does it seem a little wrong?

"This bed can only sleep five people at most." Sheila sighed, "But if the mattress and quilt are removed and spread flat on the ground, the area will be enough for everyone to sleep on it at the same time."

"So you don't want to sleep on the bed?" Ask was speechless.

There is a bed but no one is allowed to sleep on it. What's going on?
