"Oh?"
Elsa narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Roswaal with curiosity.
At this moment, even though Roswaal was still wearing that strange clown makeup, he was wearing a very ordinary cloak, with a large hood covering his face, and he was holding a Bible in his hand.
Because of the illusion in the sky, Roswaal's true face and purpose were revealed to everyone, and now he had become a street rat that everyone was yelling at. Although there was no substantial evidence now, the authenticity of the illusion was very high. A large number of people in the royal capital had gone to the Mathers Region, wanting to imprison him.
However, Roswaal had anticipated this, so he left the region early, using magic to sneak into the royal capital, and using his own wisdom and the guidance of the Bible to find Elsa's hiding place.
"It seems like your situation isn't too good, but you should also know that my situation isn't too optimistic either."
Roswaal said with a smile.
"Oh, then my dear master, what are you going to do now?"
Elsa asked curiously.
"According to my calculations, Ayanokouji will come to this world soon, and most people in this world will definitely not let him exist."
"That's so boring."
"I guess you don't want to disappoint others, Bowel Hunter."
Roswaal narrowed his eyes.
"We have to ensure Ayanokouji's safety after he comes to this world."

After the meeting, Ayanokouji asked Otto to take over the direct business cooperation with them.
Unlike before, where he only took over matters from Rom, Otto now inherited Russell's previous position, so there were many things that needed to be handed over.
However, Otto did not disappoint. His efficiency in doing things was very high. It only took him one day to handle almost everything, and he was clearly no worse than Russell.
A month ago, Otto was just a businessman worried about life, but now it was completely different. In this short period of time, he had learned a lot about politics and business, showing that extraordinary talents had emerged.
This proved that Ayanokouji had not made a mistake, and Otto indeed had value to continue existing.
Not only that, that night, Ayanokouji received a secret contact from a member of the Council of Wise Men. They previously had a hidden trade affair with Russell. If this was discovered and announced, the consequences would be disastrous.
In fact, Ayanokouji already possessed this information, so he deliberately uttered those words in the palace to give a psychological hint to the members of the Council of Wise Men.
As expected, to maintain their reputation and status, they were willing to give him many benefits, money, jewelry, privileges, political support, etc.
This was what Ayanokouji needed now to consolidate the absolute status of Emilia's camp.
The members of the Council of Wise Men were not worthy of being called Wise at all, but he didn't care. They could only provide benefits for him. No matter what those people did, it didn't matter.
On the first day, Ayanokouji finished almost all the affairs, but he still chose to pretend to continue the investigation.
If the investigation time was too short and the case was successfully solved, such speed would be too fast and could easily arouse the suspicion of others, so he decided to wait a few days before speaking.
For example, the current situation was to find a way to bring Reinhard under his command.
The next night soon arrived, Ayanokouji arranged a dinner at his home, and Wilhelm and Reinhard also came here on time for dinner.
When Reinhard and Wilhelm met, Reinhard's expression was a little complicated. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
Wilhelm had a flat face and no expression. When he saw the person in front of him who had a blood relationship with him, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
It was precisely because the Divine Protection Sword Saint was transferred to Reinhard that his wife died. This was the source of all the tragedies.
But after Ayanokouji killed the White Pope, Wilhelm could finally think calmly.
The transfer of the Divine Protection Sword Saint was not something Reinhard subjectively requested.
As Ayanokouji said before, it was the grief of losing his wife that made him choose to blame Reinhard. If Wilhelm thought about it carefully, he was a grandfather, but he had always been a grandfather to Reinhard.
Perhaps he was the one who made more mistakes.
Although Wilhelm thought so, his pride was also very strong, and he didn't easily change his words to apologize directly, nor was he ashamed to greet directly, so he could only nod slightly to Reinhard.
"Hello, Mr. Wilhelm..." Reinhard was slightly surprised to see Wilhelm's gesture, and then a smile appeared on his face.
In the past, Wilhelm basically ignored him, as if he didn't exist, but now the other party took the initiative to greet him.
"Welcome both of you." Ayanokouji walked up to them both and said slowly, "Please sit down."
Soon, they both followed him to the dining table and sat down on the two chairs opposite each other, but remained silent.
Reinhard was eager to repair his relationship with his grandfather. He always believed that his grandmother's death was truly his fault, so he believed that he was not qualified to actively seek forgiveness.
But Wilhelm's idea was that he didn't know how to speak at all.
Ayanokouji looked at the faces of the two people. He naturally knew what was on both of their minds. What he needed now was to reconcile them.
"You two should listen to me tell you a story about my past." He said, "The story of me and my father."
"Ayanokouji-sama's father?" Wilhelm was also a little curious, because basically everyone didn't know much about Ayanokouji's family.
What Ayanokouji was going to talk about was certainly not about that man. After all, he had hardly ever interacted with others in the past. Rather than a blood relationship, the two were more like a mutually beneficial relationship. For the man who had the same surname as him, Ayanokouji was his possession, his possession that allowed him to return.
As for Ayanokouji, he could learn many useful skills from that man.
The so-called normal father-son relationship, he only saw in other stories and novels, but he himself had never experienced it.
However, Ayanokouji quickly told a story he made up. In the story, he and his father also experienced some conflicts. Then, after a sincere meeting, the conflict was finally resolved and the misunderstanding was eliminated.
This was a story that he had designed and created beforehand. In a way, it was also because he told Beatrice bedtime stories every day, which made his storytelling level increase rapidly.
In the past few days since arriving in the royal capital, Ayanokouji had to communicate with Emilia and Beatrice using magic tools for several hours every night. The two of them slept together at night, listening to him tell them bedtime stories together.
Ayanokouji didn't know how their relationship became so close, but it didn't matter.
After listening to the story told by Ayanokouji, both Wilhelm and Reinhard thought hard.
Honestly, this word was still stuck in their minds.
At this moment, Reinhard stood up and bowed deeply to Wilhelm: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wilhelm... No, grandfather, it's all my fault... I'm not qualified to apologize to you... but..."
He hadn't said the word grandfather for a long time.
"No, I'm the one who should apologize." Before Reinhard finished speaking, Wilhelm also stood up and said, his eyes slightly red at this time, "I know it's not your fault, but I've always blamed you. As an elder, I didn't care about you when you were young back then, and I left the family alone... It's my problem. I'm ashamed of you, let alone going to see your grandmother."
"Grandpa..." Reinhard pursed his lips.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Ayanokouji narrowed his eyes slightly.
Repairing the relationship between a pair of almost broken grandfather and grandson was not something that could be done overnight. He had already made such a plan when he investigated the Sword Saint family and learned of their plan to draw both of them into his own camp, and at that time he began to take action.
Killing the White Whale, giving them psychological hints, and approaching them, all these actions were preparations for today, everything was developing very smoothly.
'I thought that guy would cause trouble.' Ayanokouji looked out the window, 'But no need to worry.'
The scene changed. In a luxurious mansion in the royal capital, Priscilla, who had returned to the royal capital after handling border matters a few days ago, was enjoying high-quality fruit that had already been peeled.
"Princess, is this okay? Bringing such a man with you." Al asked with a thick mask.
"It will be interesting. After all, they are my competitors, so there is no problem in doing this a little bit." Priscilla said with a smile, "Besides, that drunkard is useless. If we really let Reinhard join the Half-Elf, it might be a little troublesome. Since he has taken the initiative, I might as well watch that clown show."
"But all this is just for fun. After all, the fact that I will inherit the throne will never change." Priscilla added.
"But Princess, are you really willing to use that man? Although the Princess almost took his life, but that man is not a good man." Al asked with a little worry.
"It doesn't matter, ordinary people are certainly useful." Priscilla said with a smile, "I'm a little curious about his methods."
The scene changed again. On the streets of the royal capital, a drunk man walked with a staggering gait. Although his walking posture was crooked, his goal was indeed very clear. It was heading towards Ayanokouji's residence.
"Damn it, the grandfather and grandson are actually eating together. That bastard Ayanokouji actually invited those two because I'm not as good as them? This is belittling me!" The man said with a grumble of anger.
This man was Reinhard's father, Heinkel.
Not long ago, Priscilla met this decadent knight in her territory, and used methods to turn him into a chess piece for her own use. After learning that Ayanokouji had returned to the royal capital, she also brought him back to the royal capital.
For the arrogant Priscilla, the mediocre Heinkel was the same as a clown, but he claimed to have a way to deal with Reinhard, so Priscilla kept him.
Not long ago, many people learned that Ayanokouji invited Reinhard and Wilhelm to dinner so that the two of them would join Ayanokouji and Emilia, it would be a little more complicated to have a way to deal with this situation, so Priscilla decided to send Heinkel.
His goal was very simple, just to disrupt this feast.
And as he was about to reach his destination, a burly and strong man passed by Heinkel – in fact, he bumped into Heinkel's shoulder hard.
"Damn it, don't you watch where you're going!? Do you know who I am?!" Heinkel shouted. Although he had drunk a lot of wine, it was clear that the other party had just hit his shoulder.
