Hearing Abner's question, the Evil Spirit fell silent for two seconds before saying in a low voice:
"It seems you know quite a lot..."
Abner toyed with Lilith's Tears and smiled. "Didn't you tell me yourself? 'You're an innocent victim of Alista Tudor'... And someone important enough to be personally victimized by the Blood Emperor, yet who has lingered as an Evil Spirit in a palace from the era of the two consuls for two thousand years without fading away...
"The only candidates I know of are those three Sequence 1 Conquerors."
The Evil Spirit thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed too. "Heh. But none of your guesses are quite right."
Abner studied him for a moment, then nodded as though he had just realized something.
"I understand."
Mr. Tower, what do you understand? Explain it to us... Klein grumbled inwardly as he listened from the side.
From their exchange, combined with what he knew from the Black Emperor card in his possession, he could more or less guess that the Evil Spirit before them had been one of the materials the Blood Emperor used to advance to Red Priest.
And as Mr. Tower had just said, the three Sequence 1 materials back then were Sauron, Einhorn, and Medici.
Sauron was the former royal family of Intis, while Einhorn was the imperial family of the Feysac Empire. Both controlled the Hunter Pathway, so that fit... But who was Medici?
An Angel Clan that had already perished?
At that moment, the Evil Spirit fixed his bloodshot eyes on Abner with an intensely serious look. Only after a long while did he change the subject.
"If you can help me escape this predicament, I'll give you a reward in return... No, to be precise, a reward you'll find more than generous."
