Chapter 216: The Real Goal

Under the clear sky, on the throne.
Wells looked down at the two lost individuals with great interest, finding it quite amusing, much like his own self from years ago.
“看够了戏，就叫他们上来吧，我可没时间在这里跟你们耗。”
千蛇长老海拉提突然冷冷道，威尔斯也不恼, 一笑道，“那就听千蛇长老的，哈缪丝你去接一下他们吧。”
Under the seats of the left and right kings, there are three people standing. On the side of Elder Red Moon Wells, there is a barefoot and seductive woman named Hamus, who is known as the Puppet Master. On the other side, under the seat of Elder Thousand Snakes, there are two people, and they are twin old men known as the Twin Masters.
Upon hearing the elder's command, Hamoos pouted visibly, feeling somewhat resentful that it was always her who had to do the heavy and laborious tasks. After all, she was a beautiful woman, wasn't she?
"Haha, don't be angry, little Hamoos," chuckled one of the old men. "Do you expect us two old geezers to do all the heavy lifting? Show some respect for your elders!"
"I respect you as a big-headed demon, but why don't you love the young ones?"
Hermione cursed disdainfully, but didn't slow down to do what needed to be done. With a stomp of her beautiful feet, magic patterns spread out and a large circular plate separated into a wedge-shaped cake, which she held and descended towards the duo of Miller below.
不一会儿，哈缪丝就带着米尔和杰佛瑞上来了，不过她却没有让蛋糕回盘，而是自己跳了回去, 让两人独自面对两位长老的审视。
Saying there is no pressure is just too false. Faced with the close scrutiny of the two elders, Miller and Geoffrey didn't dare to lift their heads to take a look, lest they might anger them.
"Cough, cough."
As the person that Wells had summoned arrived, Elder Qianshe remained silent, looking calm and unperturbed. Feeling helpless, Wells turned to the two below and said, "You two should know the purpose of why we brought you here. Speak up and tell us everything you know."
"Yes."
As soon as the two of them nodded, just as they were about to speak, the Elder Qianshe's merciless cold voice came through: "Dare to conceal anything, and face the ten punishments of the Church!"
To be honest, the Elder Qianshe's appearance and the words she spoke were completely at odds, making people shudder. The ten punishments of the Church may sound ordinary, but each punishment can make people unable to live or die, which frightened Mir and the other person.
Especially Jeffrey, he knows very well that the person in front of him is a man of his word, someone even more abnormal than Elder Skeleton.
Immediately, Jeffrey knelt down and recounted everything that had happened over the past few months, even going as far as to detail the composition of his daily bowel movements.
And this lecture lasted half a day, but both the two elders sitting on the throne and the three title masters standing still paid serious attention and didn't show any slackness.
Yes, on the surface, everyone seemed to be high above and didn't really care about what Geoffrey and Miller said, but in reality, they didn't overlook any detail.
That's a skeleton, a creature that has been lying dormant for decades, yet here it is, dead in some rural place. Anyone would find it hard to believe and would want to uncover the secrets behind it.
However, after hearing what the two below were saying, they couldn't seem to figure out the real story. Wells and Helahti exchanged a look and remained silent for a while.
They are interested in the person who killed the Skeleton, but more interested in why the Skeleton suddenly went to that Lanye City and ambushed the Queen of the Lansu Kingdom. The death of just one Master title holder doesn’t require an elder like him to intervene.
At least, there's no need to act so early.
Therefore, Elder Wells and Elder Heralati all have a unanimous suspicion that there must be some secret they don't know about. It is just that it is helpless that the skeleton is too hidden this time. No one knows what he is thinking. What is even more speechless is that this guy actually accidentally fell down and lost his life.
"Sigh, how could he just die like that? At least he escaped and could have told us the secret before dying from his injuries. Elder Haigugei, you have let our Holy Sect down."
Wells sighed and muttered, while the three title masters rolled their eyes and pretended not to hear. However, hearing this, Hailati's eyes flashed with contemplation and she said, "Actually, he did leave some clues with his abnormal behavior."
Gubai
Oh?
"Think about it, if the skeleton isn't actually going to avenge Uss, then what does Lansu have that is most worthy of his personal attention."
"Are you saying...the strongest magic - inherent barrier?"
Wells guessed for a moment but soon shook his head and dismissed it, "After all, this is just a rumor. No one has ever seen the so-called strongest magic, and there is no such thing as the strongest magic. The strongest magic is the one used by the strongest magician!"
This remark surprised Hailati and she gave him a glance. "Of course not. According to the intelligence, this is the first time that person has used this magic... To be honest, even if the intelligence is true, the two of us together may not be able to handle it."
"Huh, this doesn't sound like what Elder Qianshe would say. It should be my line instead."
"Hmph, this is the truth. Even if we join forces, we may not necessarily win against the Skeleton. But our opponent almost killed the Skeleton without any harm, do you think we can win? I am arrogant, but I am not conceited!"
"Looks like our Magic Church has to go into hiding again!"
"Haha, ever since we lost our leader, the Magic Church has never really risen to power. Haven't we always been in hiding?"
Wells pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Don't say things that will demoralize us. Let's continue our previous topic. If the skeleton wasn't going for magic, then it must be heading to the Kingdom of Lansu."
"It's...but it's not!"
Hailati shook her head, "You heard the words of that mouse just now. The skeleton planned to lure Queen Lansu and set a trap from the beginning."
“Isn't that aiming at the Kingdom of Lansu? As long as we control their queen, the Kingdom of Lansu will be ours.”
“Wrong! That's what I thought at first too, but after thinking about it just now, without knowing how strong the enemy is, the Skeletons can easily push through without doing so many small actions.”
"So..."
“所以，骸骨的目标，其实就是兰苏女王本人！”
闻言，威尔斯眉头大皱，倒是下面三个称号大师满脑子疑问，这他喵不就是一样的么？
"So, you mean the goal of the skeletons was actually the Lan Su Queen Xinyalia, and the Lan Su Kingdom was just a side target?"
"Yes, the target that attracted the skeletons was her personally."
"But why?" Wells was a bit confused. "Other than being a queen and having strong ability, what could possibly attract a skeleton?"
"Yes, that's what I can't figure out!"
Looking at Hailati who was also frowning, Wells realized that she didn't seem to be deliberately deceiving him, so he couldn't help but think about the relationship between the skeleton and Queen Lansu, combining the words of Miller and Geoffrey.
The Elder Skeleton is extremely mysterious, and no one knows his true identity. On the other hand, Queen Lansu's identity is quite clear. She is the fourth daughter of the previous king, but has always been known as a witch and wasn't given important roles until she emerged last year... and so on!
"A witch?"
