Chapter 2850 Suspicious
As early as the beginning of entering Saul's laboratory, Joan activated the 8th-level myth path ability "Myth Vigilance".
With this ability, he can capture the subtle thought activities in Dr. Saul's heart. There are indications that this person has begun to suspect that the relationship between the Gnostics and Mitra is not simple, and even doubts that Mitra is just right. Appearing near the Temple of Silence is the Gnostic leak.
Now Dr. Saul is not sure whether the Gnostics just accidentally leaked the original action plan, or secretly sold this information to Mitra, instructing the other party to ambush near the Temple of Silence in advance, looking for opportunities to disrupt the situation.
In fact, Dr. Saul had privately told Metatron his suspicions, and told Metatron to take precautions against the Gnostics.
The secret conversation between the two was communicated through telepathy. Joan was not at the scene at the time, and these silent conversations could not be captured only by the passive monitoring network of "Myth Alert".
Fortunately in misfortune, although the active monitoring mode of "Myth Alert" is limited to the field of vision, its penetrating power is much stronger than the passive mode, and it can detect the inner activities of the target, making Joan finally realize that Saul The doctor instructed Metatron to invite himself to participate in this operation, in fact, with the intention of forcing him to prove his innocence.
Judging from Metatron's inner activities at the moment, Dr. Saul's suspicion of the Gnostics was quite disapproving to her.
If it hadn't been for Gnosti's desperate rescue, she would have died in the Temple of Silence. In any case, she didn't want to suspect that Mitra was deliberately brought by her savior to disrupt the situation. to what benefit.
Since there was no profit to be made, the Gnostics had no motive to collude with Mitra to harm his compatriots. Metatron believed that he leaked the news inadvertently, so there was no need to be harsh.
However, this did not convince Dr. Saul to dispel his suspicions about the Gnostics.
According to Dr. Saul, the Gnostics actually had a motive to conspire with Metra, and a precedent-based, very strong motive!
This precedent is the former teacher of the Gnostics, Samael, the former cardinal elder of Odis.
The secret communication between the Gnostics and Mithra began at the instigation of Samael.
Samael took the initiative to befriend Mitra because the Magic Eye Arcanist mastered the mysterious craft of brewing the "Wine of Immortality". He wanted to get a cup of "Wine of Immortality" from Mitra and drink the poisonous wine , transforming himself into an undead lich.
Samael finally got his wish, and his student Gnostic, although he clearly drew a line with his mentor, whether he is still in contact with him in private, whether he also wants to emulate his mentor and become a lich is hard to say.
Assuming that the Gnostics really had such a motive, then of course he would deliberately please Mitra and get another cup of "wine of eternal life" from her.
According to Dr. Saul's speculation, there is a huge loophole in Metatron's view: If the Gnostics really want to get the "wine of eternal life" from Mitra, there is no need to betray their compatriots and take the main eye gemstone that Mitra dreamed of. Just exchange, why bother.
Dr. Saul admits that Metatron's rebuttal has some truth, but he thinks it is not enough to wash away the suspicion of Gnosticism, because Mithra has been deceived by Samael's routine of "exchanging the main eye gemstone for the wine of eternal life" once.
With the beholder's suspicious and vengeful character, even if Gnosti sincerely made the above suggestion, Mitra would not easily believe it, and would be more likely to suspect Gnosti's deceitful means of trying to reproduce the mentor. This time, isn't it stupid?
Because of this, the Gnostics had to deal with Metra in a different way if they wanted the "wine of immortality".
Neither Metatron nor Dr. Saul could convince the other, and finally reached a consensus that Nos should meet privately for Yomitra.
If the Gnostic agrees, it shows that he has a clear conscience, and Metatron can also take the opportunity to kill Mitra, expressing his anger for the fiasco in the Temple of Silence.
On the contrary, if the Gnostics shirk and prevaricate, the suspicion of colluding with Metra and plotting evil is very serious.
In an instant, Joan's "myth warning" penetrated the thoughts of Metatron and Dr. Saul, and he couldn't help but secretly annoyed when he was afraid.
As a colleague in the field of scientific research, he originally had a good impression of Dr. Saul and felt sympathetic to each other. He never thought that this guy was smiling on the surface and stabbing a knife in the back. Traitor to fellow countrymen, wronged...
Um? Don’t be too busy complaining, think about it carefully... Well, the Gnostic brothers are indeed traitors in the city, and they did collude with Mitra to kill many mind flayers... Then Dr. Saul will not be able to stay, This hidden danger must be eliminated as soon as possible!
Qiao An knew very well how cruel the mind flayers were to traitors, not to mention that he was not only a traitor, but also a counterfeit pirated product. If he was exposed, even if he could escape his life, he would never be able to hang out in Odes in the future.
In order to keep the secret, Joan can only try to get rid of Dr. Saul as soon as possible. It is certainly not fair enough to do so, but considering that the other party is not a good thing in the first place, and he is not a real mind flayer, there is no need to feel sorry for it.
"Brother Gnostic, can you send a letter to Mitra and ask her to meet alone in a place far away from Udinos?" Dr. Saul asked calmly.
"Yes, yes, but there must be a proper reason. Otherwise, with the suspicious nature of beholders, they will not easily leave the lair and take risks alone." Joan replied cautiously.
"You might as well propose to make a deal with her, how about exchanging the 'Major Eye Gem' for the secret recipe of brewing the 'Wine of Immortality'?"
The expression on Dr. Saul's face was still calm, but Joan caught a glimpse of him mentioning the formula of "Wine of Eternal Life" through the "myth warning", and there was an uncontrollable turmoil in his heart.
In fact, Qiao An has long been baffled. Dr. Saul has no grievances with the Gnostics. Why does he repeatedly pursue the relationship between the Gnostics and Mitra, just like a tabloid reporter who is keen to inquire about celebrity scandals.
When he found out about this relationship from Wayu, he reported it to the mastermind and the Cardinal Council, requesting interrogation of the Gnostics.
During that interrogation, the Gnostics passed the test safely. Afterwards, Dr. Saul did not seem to give up. He used a magnifying glass to watch every move of the Gnostics, and used the failed slave hunting operation not long ago to lobby Metatron to persuade her to test the Gnostics. Loyalty, why all this?
Love and hate, there must always be a motive.
Gnostics have been in touch with Mitra, and have been authorized by the mastermind and elders. Dr. Saul is still holding on to this relationship with suspicion and pursuit. What is his motive?
