After all, no one has a clue about this kind of thing - is Mark acting alone? Which side does he represent? Will the Gemini Goddess take action?
Mark put on this momentum. Regardless of whether he was cowardly or not, the empire actually lost.
The Wright Empire should have concentrated all its energy on killing the rebellious colony of Bolivar. The situation must be suppressed as soon as possible, otherwise more colonies would feel that the empire was weakened and rise up collectively.
Even if you fight Bolivar a little slower, it will be seen as a decay of the empire.
It is precisely because winter is about to begin and there is not much time left for the empire that the empire is so anxious and wants to recruit all civilian ships to serve as troop transports and supply ships.
But who would have thought that the Admiralty would cause such a big disaster?
It took a whole day after receiving Mark's message, but nothing was discussed with the empire.
Mark didn't wait any longer.
"Hank, go to the Great Temple of the Night for me and tell Nate something..."
"yes."
Hank immediately went ashore, headed to the nearest Church of Light and Night, and quickly took the Light Condor to the Great Cathedral.
Whip of Night was a little surprised that Mark actually sent his men instead of coming in person. After some hesitation, he still received Mark's envoy.
"Hello, Mr. Geralt."
"Hello, Lord Whip of Night."
After bowing to each other, Hank said the reason for his visit: "My Lord Mark Destiny hopes to gain support from the Church of the Night."
Knight frowned: "Does your master know what this means?"
"Of course! It means that Ms. Night needs to come forward to make the Reincarnation Sect calm down."
Knight was really surprised. He never thought that Mark could see this step: "Ms. Night once invited your master to become a dependent, but he refused."
"My Lord said, this is a deal that will satisfy both parties." Hank bowed deeply.
"Tell me and listen."
The voice is female!
Of course it wasn't Nate who spoke.
When that quiet and mysterious voice filled the entire cathedral, no matter it was Hank, the night guard next to him, or Knight, they all knelt down and worshiped, paying the highest respect to this supreme being.
After Hank saluted, he did not dare to delay: "My Lord said - At the bottom of Bavluotan Lake in Gray Rhinoceros Mountain, Astalu, 30%!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blurry black shadows suddenly gathered in the mid-air of the Great Cathedral, turning into a pair of charming eyes with extremely deep pupils.
Everyone can clearly feel the excitement in those eyes in mid-air.
"Huhu! Haha! Hahaha!" The goddess's clear and melodious laughter echoed throughout the entire Great Temple: "Interesting! Interesting! I really didn't expect Mark to be so interesting!"
Everyone knelt down and worshiped, knowing that the goddess would undoubtedly agree to this deal.
Sure enough, the next second.
"Nate! You are better at mortal political games, so just do what you want." Lady Night thought for a while: "Yes, I want the Third Army of Night to be able to dispatch at any time and listen to Mark's command. Of course, the price
…He understands.”
All the mortals who were kneeling in worship could not use any words to describe the shock in their hearts.
Most people couldn't understand why the goddess of the night would do this for an outsider. Only Knight vaguely remembered that this guy named Astaru seemed to be a demon god who was hostile to the twin goddesses during the Thousand Years War.
Unfortunately, it was too old to be mentioned in history books. However, Knight believed that if he read through the classics, he would definitely find out the whole story.
The conversation between the goddess and mortals has ended.
In the high latitude space of the spiritual world, in the huge kingdom of God that is half golden and half black.
The exchange between the twin goddesses has just begun.
This is a very special temple. The left and right sides of the temple are completely symmetrical from the architectural structure to all the furnishings.
Even the beautiful goddesses on both sides of the long table in the hall have exactly the same appearance and movements, as if they are looking at each other in the mirror.
The only difference is the color. Gold and black, two completely different tones fill the entire palace.
"My good sister, are you curious why I helped that boy?"
"My good sister, you want me to depose a cardinal as soon as you come up. It's hard for me to handle."
"I found that Mark has a double-digit mark from the gods. Apart from the marks from the art gods who are not doing anything serious, I don't recognize the other half."
"When did it happen?" The goddess of light finally couldn't help but be moved.
"I just took a peek at the mark I left on him, and it was very difficult to find these gadgets hidden deep in his soul."
"this……"
"Only one mark belongs to the owner of that big crab. Oh, by the way, all marks are passively triggered."
This means that as long as any god dares to attack Mark directly, that group of gods will know it immediately.
What this represents is something that even a god would have to consider.
The goddess of light pouted and mumbled dissatisfiedly: "Good luck boy."
The goddess of the night increased her voice: "Sister, we already have enough enemies."
"Okay. Since Mark wants to pretend that this is information obtained from the [Book of Nether Sea], then let's treat it as such."
"Anyway, we made a profit."
"indeed!"
So, one day later, the Church of Light and Night publicly released news - the Goddess of Light believed that Cardinal Brown had been immoral and was demoted to bishop.
As soon as the news came out, a storm immediately swept through the entire upper echelons of the empire and even all orthodox churches.
Unethical? So you masturbate?
This is no reason at all!
To put it bluntly, they are the twin goddesses supporting Mark.
At first, three groups of people wanted to covet Mark's ship, but the Gemini Goddess took matters into their own hands.
Then you know the other two!
After all, the Reincarnation Sect is an orthodox church. If the Twin Goddess hadn't come to kill him directly with a knife, he could still have pretended to be dead.
Not so with the Wright Empire.
If you think about it, a storm war priest can pick up a knife and find bad luck for any earl, even though it is later discovered that there is something wrong with that earl.
But it’s no problem? Why don’t you pat your butt and leave?
So what is a cardinal?
A cardinal could slap a certain Duke of the Wright Empire in the face, and the duke would not only be unable to fight back, but would also slap his other cheek to the cardinal.
The Church of Light and Night is clearly telling the Empire that if the Empire continues to pretend to be dead, then change the emperor.
Not to mention the Navy Headquarters, even the emperor himself was numb.
In the capital of the Wright Empire, almost everyone in the magnificent palace had their heads lowered, and there was a sense of loneliness in the air.
Marshal Dewey knelt on one knee in front of the throne, with dejection written all over his face: "Old Thomason was imprisoned for corruption and stripped of his rank of general and baron. Cancel Thomason's promotion. Within a month, he will
He died in a car accident. If His Majesty feels it is not enough, I can take the blame and resign."
"No, my dear, the navy needs you, the empire needs you. That's it, I am the one who needs to continue to pay the price. Please step back and continue preparing for the expedition."
Nicholas III asked Dewey to step aside and instead sent an order for Princess Marianne to appear.
On the throne, he was no longer as decadent as before, but instead had a faint smile on his face.
After a while, the princess in full dress appeared.
"See Father."
"My little moon, how is your health lately?"
"Thank you for your concern, father. I'm actually much better. I just still have that nightmare from time to time."
"Is it that weird dream where the Wright Palace is collapsing and only that ship is the salvation?"
Marianne's facial muscles stiffened, and she bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, Father, that dream is a bit too real. I...I'm not sure if this is the influence of [abnormality]."
"Come here and let me touch you."
The princess came to the throne with her skirt in hand, bent down slightly, and let her father touch her head.
"No matter how many times I touch it, I still feel that my baby girl's hair is the most beautiful, like golden satin."
"Father..." Marianne said in embarrassment.
"Yes, you don't hate that Mark Destiny, do you?"
"How could I hate my savior?" Marianne looked away embarrassedly. She didn't notice that her cheeks were blushing: "Yes, father, recently I heard that someone wanted to make Tumark's ship.
,Father, you won’t let the people below go so far, right?”
"Of course not!" Nicholas III categorically denied: "I have already severely punished those short-sighted guys in the Admiralty."
The emperor subtly changed his self-identity, instantly shortening the spiritual distance between him and his daughter.
"That's great, Father!" Marian happily hugged her father and rubbed her beautiful face against his chest.
"Well, my Marianne, you are a grown up girl now. You have to pay attention to your manners."
Marianne said angrily: "Anyway, I have been contaminated by the [abnormality] and cannot get married, so I should spend more time with my father."
This is also the truth. No other royal family or nobles are willing to accept a princess who may go crazy.
The emperor was thoughtful and suddenly said: "If it were before, I could only say sorry to you. For the sake of the royal family, I would probably marry you to someone you may not like. But now I can give you a chance.
, let you follow Mark Destiny. Are you willing?"
Marianne was completely stunned. In fact, she wanted to maintain her reserve as a princess, but she still couldn't keep her face straight at the end: "Father, you are so bad."
"Then I take it that you agree?" There was endless kindness in the emperor's eyes: "Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to give you a title. However, if he dares to bully you, come back to me and I will help you vent your anger."
Marian hugged her father's thick waist and replied softly after a long time: "Yes."
So, on the morning of the third day after Mark spread the news through Yalde's relatives, the empire's less formal response came.
The Thomason family, which had offended Mark, fought to the end, and then the royal family publicly announced that the third princess of the empire, Marianne, and Princess Yolanda of Arora would study opera with Master Mark Destiny.
Here, watching the shy princess and duchess walking up the gangway of the Caribbean, Mark slapped his forehead.
