After Lei Xiao said this, Antonio clearly felt that his sincerity was not enough, and the old and urgent voice sounded again.
"To be honest, Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, a sixth-level ice-type veteran, although I don't know why the Temple of Light is the enemy of the Cold Flame Kingdom, I don't have any good impressions of the current Temple of Light."
"According to my observation, in the past hundred years, the Temple of Light still seems to be fighting against evil as its mission, but secretly it has sent chief archbishops to frequently contact royal family members and confidential ministers of various countries. This is completely different from the Temple of Light a hundred years ago.
different."
"In the Pars Empire where I am located, Chief Archbishop Adair has recently even acted as a royal messenger, issuing an order on behalf of the Pars Emperor to attack the fortress at all costs."
"You must know that the royal messenger of the Pars Empire represents the emperor's authority and the emperor's supreme decision-making. In the past dynasties, it has been held by relatives of the emperor, not even other nobles. In the final analysis, Adair is just
It’s just a chess piece of the Temple of Light, but it can actually issue orders on behalf of the emperor!”
Antonio's wrinkled old face showed a hint of confusion and annoyance as he continued to describe what he saw and heard.
"In the all-out attack order conveyed by Adair, Emperor Pars even asked to ignore the captured second prince Brandon, which is even more uncharacteristic of Emperor Pars."
"After all, Emperor Pars still favors the second prince Brandon more than the first princess Cecilia, and there is no way he will completely ignore the latter's life and death!"
After hearing what Antonio said, Caroline's angry voice rang out: "No wonder the Pars Empire still launched a fierce attack regardless of the situation when we had captured Brandon. Sure enough, the Temple of Light was behind it.
Making trouble!"
"It seems that the emperor of the Pars Empire was either fed some ecstasy by the Temple of Light, or like Holy King William, he became a puppet controlled by the Temple of Light."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and frowned.
Although I had thought of this before, hearing Antonio's answer still made me shudder.
As for Antonio's vague anger, it is easy to understand.
According to intelligence, Antonio is Brandon's teacher. He has watched Brandon grow up since he was a child. He is naturally indignant at the disregard for Brandon's life. This is human nature.
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he focused his attention on the image projected by the Bingxin Arrow.
Antonio slowly took a deep breath and said sternly: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince must have guessed this matter. In addition, Emperor Pars ignored the safety of other border crossings and wanted to gather heavy troops to suppress the border and not fall into the fortress.
The Pars Empire must have been controlled by the Temple of Light to some extent."
"Under such circumstances, once Emperor Pars, instigated by the Temple of Light, makes some unbelievable move, the consequences will be disastrous."
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince is the only big figure in the human world who can stop the Temple of Light. This is also an important reason why I hope to join His Highness the Prince. Even the overwhelming soldiers of the Pars Empire and other armies cannot do anything to the Prince.
Your Majesty, I will have nothing to fear!"
"The elders of the ice system can teach me the scriptures, and His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince represents the dawn and hope of the human world. Although I am not talented, I also know what it means to know how to return from the lost way!"
Antonio became more and more impassioned as he spoke, and continued to blow his gray beard into the air: "So, please grant me, Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, and give me a chance to make up for my past mistakes next time!"
Looking at Antonio's righteous old face, Lei Xiao completely understood what the other person was thinking.
After the old magician saw the terrifying strength of Bing Lao's sixth level, he actually had the idea of asking Bing Lao for advice and submission. However, he stood on the opposite side of us. After considering all aspects, he has not been able to take this step.
Take this step.
Emperor Pars ignored Brandon, and Adair, the chief archbishop of the Temple of Light, openly became the imperial messenger. In addition, we successfully resisted the crazy attacking army of the Pars Empire.
After this series of events served as a catalyst, Antonio secretly prepared the Ice Arrow before the decisive battle. As soon as the Pars Empire's army retreated, he took advantage of the chaos and threw himself into our camp. Only then was he discovered by Xion.
Finally it was delivered to my own hands.
After guessing the whole story, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
As I said just now, I have no reason to refuse the trump card that comes to my door.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, I clearly understand that only by serving His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, can I find the true meaning of life!"
Antonio was obviously determined in the picture, and said seriously: "In order to show my sincerity, I have begun preparations to secretly kill Adair, the chief archbishop of the Temple of Light in the Pars Empire. Please wait patiently."
good news!"
"No matter whether His Highness the Prince is willing to accept it or not, I have decided to fight against the Temple of Light to the end!"
"Even if I can be a little bit busy for His Royal Highness, I will be very satisfied!"
After that, Antonio described in detail how we should get in touch with him, and said some compliments and words of determination, and the image ended completely.
When the command hall became quiet, Lei Xiao first ordered Xion to bring over the other Ice Letter Arrows.
Through Bing Lao's detailed inspection, Lei Xiao learned.
These ice letter arrows are from the same condensation spell as the one just opened, and the content is exactly the same.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Antonio sent in multiple letters just to be on the safe side, just in case we didn't discover it.
After figuring everything out, Caroline held her chin with one hand and said in surprise: "I didn't expect this old guy to lower his posture so low in the end, just like a fledgling magic apprentice."
"You know, the old guy Antonio is highly respected in the Pars Empire. He is called the wisest human magician. He is admired and sought after by countless magicians. Being able to get his guidance is like getting the path to success and success.
A ticket to power.”
At this point, Caroline curled her lips slightly and said, "It seems that this old guy has really made a lot of determination."
"What Her Royal Highness the Third Princess said is absolutely true."
Jiang Li nodded and agreed: "No matter what else, just these duplicate ice letter arrows under our control, as long as they are made public, it will be enough to ruin the reputation of the chief palace mage of the Pars Empire, and even bring trouble to the public.
A fatal disaster."
"Old sir, what do you think?"
Lei Xiao did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at Bing Lao again.
"Replying to your Excellency, I still say the same thing. As long as you are willing, I will fully cooperate with you."
Bing Lao nodded to Lei Xiao and said seriously: "Everything depends on your orders."
"Then it's decided."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said to the half-elf mage beside him: "Jiang Li, without further ado, you will go directly to the Pars Empire to have direct contact with Antonio in a moment, and I will talk to him personally."
"As you command, Lord."
Jiang Li stroked her chest and saluted, then bowed and accepted the order.
"Your Highness, are you not afraid that there is fraud in this?"
Caroline frowned and thought for a moment, then said again: "Perhaps Antonio has also become a puppet of the Temple of Light?"
"The possibility is almost non-existent."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and explained to Caroline: "At that time, in addition to the army of the Pars Empire, the crisis in the Kingdom of Grim and the Hill Castle Fortress was still not resolved. We might be completely destroyed at any time, and even more
To be precise, if the heroic spirits had not appeared, our side would have been defeated."
"In this case, Ganelon IX, who thinks he has a chance of victory, has no need to use such trivial means. After all, our side has been destroyed, and it is all meaningless."
"Furthermore, I have more than one way to detect people's hearts. Even Antonio has no chance of sneaking into our camp. It is also meaningless to do so."
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao's mind came to the list of other lords' talents submitted by Qin Qian.
Among the elite lords who have joined the Xiaoshen Group one after another, several have talents similar to lie detection, although the methods and techniques used are different.
But without exception, they can accurately judge whether the target has evil intentions towards us, and completely ignore class restrictions. Lei Xiao has witnessed this with his own eyes many times.
Furthermore, as long as Antonio is subdued and combined with several special potions that reduce his mental power, even Ye Cang, who has not yet reached the fifth level, can gain insight into everything at the spiritual level.
If Antonio, like other strong men of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, was cursed with some kind of curse that prevented him from telling the truth, Ye Cang could still detect the existence of the curse even though he could not break the curse and see through the truth.
Under the leadership of Ye Cang, those talented lords also participated in the recent interrogation of priests and successfully screened out all innocent priests.
All in all, Lei Xiao has established a complete detection system, the purpose of which is to gain insight into and manage non-affiliated local officials and prevent those with evil intentions from entering his camp.
"Your Excellency, you are right. Although Lao Chan's strength is not even the same, he still has many detection methods at the spiritual level."
Bing Lao gently stroked his gray beard, smiled slightly and said: "In front of this old man, any conspiracy will have nowhere to hide."
"With the old man as insurance, we don't have to worry anymore."
Lei Xiao also smiled faintly and quickly concluded: "Okay, let's split up."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone nodded and went to perform their duties.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, gave Jiang Li four fifth-level alchemy puppets before he left, to prevent them from being noticed by the Temple of Light or the Pars Empire royal family.
After a while, the huge command hall became quiet again, leaving only Lei Xiao, Xion and other battle dolls who were using magic projections to gain insight into the situation inside and outside the land of gods.
"Lord, what are your plans next?"
Xion touched his chest, saluted, and asked respectfully.
"Then just wander around the northern border. It won't take long for Gracilaria to spread the news. Although the Pars Empire is vast, with Gracilaria's speed and the blessing of magic potion, it can easily be completed in one day.
Thousands of miles.”
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "The first stop is to go to Yinxue City. Since the Battle of Buluo Fortress, many northern city lords have been injured and recuperating, so we just took this opportunity to express condolences on behalf of the royal family.
"
After that, Lei Xiao successively visited the Countess Cylvini of Silver Snow City, the city lord of Drift Ice City, Chester, and others, and also inspected the residents in various places.
Since a large amount of food has been transported to the north, famines in various places no longer exist.
The snow is capped, the smoke is curling, and the lights are flickering in the sturdy and warm houses, reflecting a happy scene.
In the evening, Lei Xiao, surrounded by officials, stood on the wall of Ice Armor City, looking at the shining lights of thousands of families in the city, and nodded with satisfaction.
I have to say that it is really a sense of accomplishment to see that under your control, everything is a peaceful and happy place.
When Lei Xiao returned to "Crystal Blue City" after attending the local dinner party, the voice prompt sounded.
After the connection, Jiang Li's clear voice came out: "Your Majesty, Lord, my subordinates have successfully contacted Mr. Antonio in a secluded town near the Pars Imperial Capital!"
"Thank you for your hard work, let him talk to me."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and leaned on the command chair.
"Thank you very much for your guidance!"
As he read the words, Antonio's voice of thanks to Jiang Li came first.
Then Antonio's old voice, mixed with nervousness and respect, came out from his words: "Thank you for your call to His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince. I would like to pay my respects to His Highness the Prince!"
"Your Majesty, Chief Magister, you're welcome."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said with enough respect: "I have read your Ice Arrow letter, and the content in it is touching."
"As expected of His Highness the Prince, he easily revealed the lost secret method that I studied from ancient magic books. I admire you greatly!"
Antonio first flattered Lei Xiao, and then asked cautiously: "So, His Highness the Prince agrees to my request and is willing to accept that I have found my way back?"
"I am naturally thirsty for top experts like the Chief Magister."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and responded.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation. I am flattered!"
Antonio completely lost his usual high-minded airs, but asked tentatively: "So, His Royal Highness the Prince also agrees with the guidance of the sixth-level ice element veteran?"
"Why not? If my camp can have another half-step sixth-level strongman, or a real sixth-level strongman, wouldn't that be a great thing?"
Lei Xiao looked like it was natural and continued to respond.
"Thank you very much, His Royal Highness, for your support!"
Antonio's ecstatic voice immediately came over.
Although Lei Xiao didn't see the other party's appearance, judging from the sound, this guy was probably so excited that he took off on the spot.
"But, then again, this naturally requires some small tests."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke again.
