After a while, someone quietly stepped into the castle, which was already shrouded in smoke, blood, death, and wails.

This person directly bypassed the crowd of wailing people and headed to the highest point.

The entrance to the banquet hall.

The battle had already ended.

Sandro was dead, and Ethan stood undefeated.

Behind him was a ruined banquet hall, filled with sprawled people.

At that moment, Ethan seemed like a king.

"We meet again, Ethan."

The person who came was, of course, Solomon, who arrived as if tearing through the air.

He glanced at the deceased Sandro and then turned his gaze to Ethan.

"Indeed, we meet again, Lord Solomon."

Ethan showed no sign of retreat, calm as if he had anticipated Solomon's arrival.

"So, can you tell me what exactly happened here?"

"Which version do you wish to hear? The official narrative or the unofficial one?"

Ethan didn't answer directly, instead presenting this question.

"What's the official narrative, and what's the unofficial one?"

Solomon asked with genuine interest.

"The official version is that I was invited to Sandro's banquet, but he suddenly attacked us without reason, so I had to retaliate. My loyal subordinates protected me, and Sandro died from his own evil."

Ethan spoke slowly, though the wounds on his body continued to bleed, and his face was pale to the extreme.

Solomon seemed unable to watch anymore and directly stretched out his finger, saying, "This person's bleeding will stop now; he won't die right this moment."

In the next instant, Ethan's bleeding indeed ceased, and his physical condition seemed to improve a bit.

"Now tell me the unofficial version."

"The unofficial story is that I came for revenge against Sandro. At the critical moment, he suddenly revealed power beyond my understanding. Fortunately, King of the Beihai appeared unexpectedly and heavily injured him, giving me the chance to personally kill Sandro."

Ethan looked Solomon straight in the eye.

Solomon continued to look at him: "You don't think that saying this will make me let you go, do you?"

"Of course not, but if possible, I hope you'll pardon my loyal subordinates after the matters here are resolved."

Ethan seemed very tired, leaning entirely against the wall.

"You have a lot of guts, Ethan, but why not?"

Solomon said as though praising him despite speaking of boldness.

Soon, Solomon's men also arrived.

The entire castle was sealed off and had now become a temporary prison and interrogation chamber.

Despite the numerous bodies and bullets still present.

It resembled the recreated experience back at that luxurious hotel, with Ethan and the others being separated into rooms for interrogation.

Solomon was indeed kind to him and even found someone to treat his injuries once again.

"Now, answer my question, are you the King of the Beihai."

Without any preamble, Solomon directly presented the ultimate question.

This question was accompanied by a sharp, cold, authoritative mental impact, commanding.

If it were an ordinary person, they'd only kneel and beg, revealing the correct answer.

Ethan had already gone through many such impacts, plus he had taken the Blood of Truth beforehand; he only needed to continue following the script.

"I am not."

Solomon directly left, moving to other rooms.

He repeated the same question over and over.

Even the disheveled Wenster leaders couldn't escape his inquiries.

He was like an untiring interrogation machine, asking the same question dozens or hundreds of times with not a hint of change in tone or pause.

Finally, he returned to Ethan's room.

"Alright, the next question, what is your relationship with Ned, and what role did he play in this matter?"

Still within the scope of the script.

Ethan answered flawlessly.

In fact, it was naturally Ethan who made Ned remember to look out the window.

When he secretly returned to Wenster to search for Gustav, besides obtaining critical true names of the underground saint, he also got information regarding the King of the Beihai.

Gustav's friend in the Royal Capital transmitted related files about the King of the Beihai via telegram.

The information about the King of the Beihai wasn't much, since the name itself is very niche and obscure.

In historical studies, the existence of such a figure is almost unacknowledged.

Existing data basically consider the King of the Beihai as a half-mythical figure shared among the New Continent's indigenous people.

He first appeared in the epic songs passed down by northern New Continent indigenous people.

Later, interested individuals conducted thorough research and found that he might have been a ruler of the northern New Continent in ancient times.

Through unknown relics, the King of the Beihai is suspected of being linked to early Sea God worship.

In the legends of the New Continent's early inhabitants, the ocean was divided as the Divine Kingdom of the King of the Beihai, with him, his brother, and sister holding dominion over the ocean.

His brother was called Diego, the Lord of Storm and Ocean Waters.

His sister was called Aphraela, the Goddess of Sea Spirits and Springs.

The name of the King of the Beihai himself, however, was neither recorded nor passed down anywhere.

This almost offered no useful information, yet Ethan had the dream.

He dreamt of a woman claiming to be Aphraela, who called him brother.

In that instant, he understood that the brother was the King of the Beihai.

And the sister Aphraela... was Sea God Isis!

Because in certain mythological versions, Aphraela was indeed the precursor of Sea God Isis, which was included in the files.

Ethan felt he had uncovered some incredible secrets.

But that's a matter for the future; at the time, his most pressing concern was sorting out the turmoil in Wenster.

He knew that Ned had been targeted.

Initially, he felt powerless to intervene, but upon discovering the secret, he developed a strategy.

So he transformed into the Divine Envoy of Isis, went directly to Ned, and gave instructions.

Ned's presence was indeed useful, at least contributing significantly to Ethan's subsequent developments in Wenster.

Also, Sofia was genuinely a good girl, helping her when possible was only right.

The rising Saint Kuanti from the castle, along with Ethan's response, should aid Ned in dodging a disaster.

After listening to the answer, Solomon remained unchanged and got up again, commencing a new round of inquiries.

This long interrogation session extended from day to night, then from night to day.

At the very moment the new sun rose into the sky, Ethan understood that his world had arrived.

The sun was his crown.
