In the garden outside the castle, there were guests chatting while walking around . Most of them were the young ones of the noble families and the rest were the merchant families . They looked polite and elegant with the wine glasses in their hands .

Angele followed the woman through the door and arrived at the dinner hall .

The hall was painted in gold, with a thick yellow carpet on the floor . There were several servers putting down dishes on the long rectangular table .

There were crispy roast geese, colorful vegetable salads, soft white bread, saucy dark cow liver, and thick honey soup .

The guests could select the food they wanted and servers would pour wine for them .

Angele glanced at the guests . His sight fell upon a middle-aged nobleman that was surrounded by several nobles while talking with a noblewoman .

The middle-aged man was about 30 or 40 years old and there was a gentle smile on his face . He had a muscular body, hidden under his white army suit, and behaved elegantly . It seemed like he had been serving in the army .

He noticed that Angele was looking at him and turned his head to Angele .

"Excuse me . " He bowed slightly to the other nobles and went across the hall, stopping in front of Angele .

"So, you're here? I thought you'd be late . " The man raised his right hand . He was prepared for Angele's arrival .

Angele raised his right hand as well and gave the man a high five .

"Well, that's a weird way to greet people . "

"Is that so?" The man chuckled . "Someone said the same thing to me before . Nice to meet you . Let me introduce myself, I'm the Count of the Wheat City . "

"The name's Green . I know you're the Count, but what's your name?" Angele grabbed a glass of green fruit wine from the server's plate .

"Name? Everyone knows that I'm the Count of the Wheat City . No one has called me using my real name for so long that I forgot what my name is . Just call me Count, it's fine . "

"Alright . " Angele shrugged . "Is there a better place to talk?"

"Follow me . " The Count turned around and walked to the hallway on the left of the hall .

Angele followed after the Count, who stopped the guards or servants that wanted to help him .

The hallway was getting darker and the oil lamps on the walls started fading . Some of the oil lamps were already extinguished .

The light in the hallway weakened as well .

They almost walked around the whole castle while in the same hallway .

On the left side of the hallway, there were white stone pillars lining up . Outside those stone pillars, there was an unorganized garden, a gentle wind blowing over its plants .

The nobleman stopped by a round fountain and turned around .

"This is the back of the castle and also my private garden . No one will interrupt us here . " The man was still wearing a gentle smile on his face, but the expression looked a bit strange under the dim light cast by the flame .

"As one of the people in charge, I need to know the details of the plan . " Angele checked the surroundings using his mentality and asked directly .

"Details of the plan, huh? That'll take a while . " The Count turned around and pressed on the white wall .

*WOO*

A twisted black rune that was about two meters long appeared on the surface of the wall, surrounded by tiny floral patterns on its edge .

Black glow flashed on the surface of the rune . The Count stepped into the wall without any hesitation . He disappeared into the wall without any problems .

Angele narrowed his eyes as he saw the man disappearing into the wall . He tapped on his pouch and created a translucent energy barrier .

The energy barrier turned invisible within seconds and Angele stepped into the wall as well .

*CHI*

He disappeared into the wall and arrived in a dark tiny room .

There was a fist-sized oil lamp on the wall, the Count was standing beside it . He just lighted the oil lamp up and turned to face Angele .

"This is one of the secret chambers in the castle . Alright, I'll show you my plan . "

There was a yellow sand plate in the center of the room . The mountains, rivers, and forests were simulated on the plate and the cities were represented by tiny models . It felt like looking at the central continent from the sky .

There were several black arrows that were drawn with ink beside those city models .

Angele walked to the other side of the sand plate and approached the Count .

"That's how you improve your plan?"

The Count nodded . "I was the only one in charge of the area and I could complete the plan by myself . Purple Eye, you can write a report and inform the headquarters about the situation . " He stopped for a second and pushed a city model slightly forward . "It's great to have someone to talk to . "

"So, you're confident in your plan?" Angele looked at the sand plate . The sand plate successfully simulated the landscape of the whole central continent .

The Count chuckled . "It's not about how confident I am . The plan mustsucceed . " He pointed at a city in front of him . "That's our current location . The edge of the Tarry River area and the Molten River area . The war going on in the Tarry River area is also part of my plan . "

Angele knew that the Count did not want to tell him the actual situation so that the Count would be the one who contributed the most to the plan .

"If you're confident, I'll be your assistant and follow your orders . There's not much I can do if the plan is already completed, but can you tell me about the progression?"

"Of course . " The Count smiled and pressed on the edge of the sand plate .

*KA*

Light flashed upon the sand plate; dozens of white light dots and red light dots appeared on the map .

The light dots slightly brightened up the room .

Angele looked at those light dots carefully and listened to the Count's explanation . "The white dots represent the locations or organizations that already joined the plan, but none of them knows about the actual situation . The red dots still need some work, but everything is almost done . It took me more than 30 years to finish all those . "

The Count sounded relaxed .

Angele glared at the Count and looked at the sand plate again .

Most of the light dots were white on the map created with the sand plate . Some of the red dots were slowly turning white, they were still in the process of joining the plan .

"Impressive . I know why you were selected by the organization now . I'm willing to help you if you need . " Angele smiled .

"Sure, I'm counting on you, Master Purple Eye . " The Count laughed and rubbed his beard .

*PA*

One of the red dot suddenly exploded when the two were talking to each other .

"Huh?!" The Count's expression changed as he looked at the sand plate .

"What happened?" Angele wondered . "Is there anything wrong?"

"No worries, it's just a small problem . " The smile returned to the Count's face . "I'll take care of it . "

"It's probably not the first time it happened?" Angele looked at the red dot . It was a small city beside the river named White Elephant . "Do you need my help?"

"It's fine . I have my methods," the Count responded confidently .

Angele looked at the Count and he noticed that the man was trying to warn him . The Count wanted to be the one that was rewarded by the organization since he'd been preparing the plan for years .

The Count raised his right hand and tapped on the location where the red dot exploded .

*CHI*

A triangular white light screen with clear images flashing on it appeared over the sand plate .

It was night . Beside a building that was burning with intense flames, a wounded man and a girl were looking at the conflagration, their bodies illuminated by the orange light .

Beside the two people, there were many dead bodies in white outfits . It seemed like they were from the same organization . One of the dead bodies was a tall and muscular man . He died with his eyes open while he was still standing

Angele noticed that the Count's expression changed again as he checked the scene . It seemed like he knew the man and the girl . Those dead bodies were probably members of the Count's team .

Angele looked at the man and the girl . They looked familiar to him .

Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes .

"He's the son of the Lord from the Thousand Waterfall City . Why is he here?" He was a bit surprised .

Angele glared at the Count and noticed that the man's face twitched . He knew that he was correct .

"The girl standing beside him must be Suman's lover, Sella," Angele continued .

"You're… correct . " Smile returned to the Count's face again . "You've only met them once at the party held by Shozo and you recognized them immediately . Ah, you and Shozo are taught by the same teacher, right? Sella is a relative of Shozo . I want to eliminate Suman and Sella, I wonder if it'll be a problem to you . "

"Of course not," Angele responded in a serious tone . "However, it seemed like they defeated your men . . . again, do you need my help?"

"Don't worry . " The Count calmed down . "Again, I'll take care of it myself . "
