Without a doubt, Char was the one who told Joshua everything about Tully.
This was a hidden mission, and the general process was like this.
When the player's reputation in the Surseus region reached respected or above, they would meet a crazy Alchemist at Cayron Bay and be scammed by him for a good amount of wine money.
Next, the player had two options, the bar owners would kindly remind you of the old man's residence and vaguely tell you that there were a lot of valuable things there. And every night at this time, this guy would go to the bar to drink wine... In short, this was a good spot to start.
If you thought it was too much trouble and decided to just let me treat you, then the bar owner would see your generosity in a different light, and you would be able to open an upper-class noble communication line.
If you could not stand being scammed, you could choose to sneak in.
If it was an infiltration route, they would basically step into the trap and be trapped for three hours until this guy returned in a drunken state. nove(l)bi(n.)com
As a guest who came to the door, after a few words with The Alchemist who returned, he could enter the general mission process. The Alchemist said that he was super rich, and if it was not for Madam Kate who didn't pay back his salary, how could he have ended up in this state? He also warmly greeted Madam Kate's family.
Hence, in order to collect the debt, you had to agree to steal a body that was neither male nor female for him.
There was no doubt that the corpse was Tully.
The follow-up mission was about this corpse. The communication line with the bar owner had bloomed into two flowers, each with their own branch, but in the end, the two met at the established end.
Even after leaving the mission, tragedies similar to Tully's were not uncommon in all of Andaheim.
In this place, all lowly lives were being trampled on. The male Dark Elves were the foundation of this Foundation. They were as lowly as ants and as lowly as dust.
Joshua was not just saying this for Tully to hear. His intentions were clear.
He also said it to the beast sprites behind Tully.
Especially when they heard the words for all the oppressed, the beast spirits' expressions changed slightly.
Under such circumstances, they could not help but believe that the man in front of them was making a promise. He was willing to give up the chance to escape and return to the prison just to stand with his subordinates and brothers and fight to the death. How noble and dazzling was this?
Just like what the pavilion had said, in andaheim, such nobleness was too eye-catching, so eye-catching that even if one's eyes were burned, they couldn't bear to look away and feel the sting.
He was really an old actor.
Char cursed in his heart.
The Dark Elves were all natural-born speakers. Their long lives had allowed them to practice on stage and give speeches to the point that their corresponding skills could be trained to the master level. Moreover, Joshua was one of the best among them.
"I understand your difficulties, Tully.
"However, I'm sure you know better than them how I became a prisoner...
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Joshua retold the story to Tully. He painted himself as a warrior who was betrayed by a traitor and then framed by prisilia in order to fight for a male position.
"You swore loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, but now you all know where Her Majesty is... This was the opposite of loyalty. Also, based on my understanding of Prisilia, once her position is stable, once she returns to Surseus to take over the power, she will definitely spare no effort in sending out forces to assassinate the Queen!"
He said with certainty, "So to you, this can't be considered betrayal at all! On the contrary, you are protecting the safety of Her Majesty the Queen! Your actions are absolutely righteous!"
He said it firmly, and the eyes of the beast sprites in front of him flickered with a thoughtful light.
It was effective.
Joshua could not help but sigh in his heart, his gaze involuntarily sweeping across Char's face.
The other party's words were not unreasonable. Although people of different social classes were on completely different levels in terms of vision and courage, the reason they were a united forces was that both sides essentially pursued the same goal.
Humans were creatures that were good at compromising. Once their flags were clear and just, they would be involuntarily attracted to the same ideology.
As long as he activated all the power he could, wouldn't he be in an undefeatable position?
This was really... What a terrifying perception.
He could not help but sigh. Those guys on the surface had already grasped people's hearts to such an extent.
The silence continued, and everyone present fell into deep thought.
This was definitely a moment that would be written in history.
"Aren't they going to ask Joshua what they should do if Her Majesty the Queen disapproves of their actions?"
Lucia whispered to Char, his tone full of ridicule.
Char had deliberately avoided her when she was giving instructions to Joshua, and the latter had now come back to his senses.
"You claim to be loyal to the Queen, and even raised the flag in the name of saving the Queen, but in the end, this is the result?" Lucia asked again.
"No, they don't have that awareness. Even if they do, the Queen's safety is nothing compared to their own safety." Char smiled. "If the Queen's safety is their top priority, why would they betray you when Joshua raised his arms and raised his weapon against you? Humans are creatures with double standards. Never look at what they say, just look at how they do it."
"Hmph, hypocrite," Lucia said.
"Do you want to live your whole life, or be a three-second hero?"

Lucia said disdainfully, "Listening to Joshua's bewitchment is being a hero?"
Char said, 'This isn't fake at all, it's just a helpless conclusion after some simple weighing."
"What's the conclusion?"
"Do you want to live your whole life, or be a three-second hero?"
Lucia said disdainfully, "Listening to Joshua's bewitchment is being a hero?"
"No, no, no, Your Majesty ... A hero doesn't make a choice but controls himself."
As soon as Char finished speaking, a reply with a heavy local accent came from the crowd and broke the silence.
"Your Highness, your words are very moving."
The crowd automatically parted, and a well-built beast elf stepped forward. He knelt down on one knee before Joshua, holding his sword with both hands.
Although his hands were trembling and the veins on his forehead were popping out, he did not hesitate at all.
"I'll join."
Joshua endured the discomfort of the militia's body odor and reached out to pick up the sweaty hilt of his sword. He had a serious expression on his face. Char knew that this old noble who was obsessed with cleanliness was trying to keep his face straight.
However, this was an unprecedented level of strictness in the eyes of others!
The strict treatment from a Prince!
The people standing in front of him were all militia!
It was like a country bumpkin who had only seen the county head suddenly saw a noble who was higher than the mayor, and it was the strict hierarchical andhaim, who was so rigorous in conferring the title!
What kind of glory was this!
"Your name."
Joshua tapped his sword lightly on the other's shoulder.
"Sophocles."
The beast spirit excitedly replied.
"Very good, Sophocles. Today, you will be a member of the Dark Moon Knights. At the same time, she was also the first to join the Dark Moon Knights, 'Bestia'."
The Prince's praise caused another commotion.
Char thought.
It was also a brand new name that he had never heard of.
To a certain extent, he did not seem to realize that he was one of the creators of this, or even the most important one.
With the first one, there would naturally be the second and third. Beast Elves were the easiest to incite, and in addition to the current situation, if they retreated, they would die. If they advanced, they would have a chance to live. As long as one was a normal person, they would know what to choose.
Perhaps only one percent of them knew exactly what they wanted and how they should choose... The remaining 99% were people who had chosen to remain silent, but had no choice but to make a choice.
In the face of the wheels of history or the torrent of history, an individual's will could be so brilliant, but it could also be so insignificant.
Before they knew it, almost all of them had joined the Dark Moon Knights, including Turay and the guards of the blue crystal mine.
As a result, there were only two people left...
Miss Yuli and her shadow servant.
At this point, the existence of the two was a little awkward. Originally, they were the existence to help the militia investigate the situation, and even shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting their lives...
Unfortunately, the latter's stance had changed ...
Then what were these two?
"We can be considered as witnesses to history."
Char said emotionlessly, as if to show her neutral position.
However, some of the extremists in the crowd, such as General Hessel, did not think so.
"I don't think the nobles of Surseus and the members of our Knights are on the same side, right?"
Hessel stood up, as if he was no longer a noble of surseus the moment he spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him stood up straight at the same time and looked over. Including the mine soldiers, they formed a faint encirclement.
Char did not answer but looked at Joshua with interest.
The script he had given Prince Joshua had also anticipated such a situation, and in return, he had given Prince Joshua's response...
However, that was then, and this was now.
A person's mentality would change due to the number of people who had power. For example, would the Prince, who was the main lead now, still acknowledge Char as the director?
Would his mental state expand along with the power in his hands?
Joshua's eyes flickered a few times.
As expected, he hesitated.
This old fox was constantly calculating and measuring, and now was a key point-since he had won over everyone and had basically mastered the 'Dragon Slaying Skill' that Char had told him, then... Could he burn the bridge after crossing it?
Of course, he did not think that he was burning the bridge after crossing it... He believed that if Char was in his position, he would have attacked earlier and more ruthlessly.
They were both being used, and he had only struck first to gain the upper hand. He did not feel guilty at all.
However, when he met Char's gaze, his heart tightened for no reason.
Then, he woke up in an instant.
'What the hell am I thinking?'
If it was not for his image, he really wanted to slap himself to wake up.
"Don't be impudent!"
Without any hesitation, Joshua rebuked, "
"It's impossible for the descendant of the Holy Tree to be on Prisilia's side. She won't interfere with our plan... On the contrary, her goal might be the same as ours."
After hearing the lines in the script, Char smiled in satisfaction.
Well, at least he did not float.
"That's right, everyone. Our goal can be said to be the same-at least for now."
Char said, "Now, it's time to discuss some practical problems. For example, how are you going to leave this prison, how are you going to contact the people outside, and how are you going to defeat the enemy in front of you... Prisilia."
