Chapter seven hundred and sixteen rumors and truth
"Daughter of the Abyss? What is that?"
After the usual intelligence gathering, I actually collected a very interesting rumor, or rather, a rumor.
It probably means that Queen Maria is the reincarnation of a certain boss in the abyss, so she was born with a very high affinity for the abyss, and along the way she became the strongest demon sorcerer in the world.
And as long as she successfully rules San Antonio, demons will invade and the world will be destroyed.
No one would take such a rumor seriously, even the vendors on the streets thought it was a rumor spread by Prince Winston.
After all, in the past few years, there have been too many stories about Maria, the devil's daughter, and the devil's conspirator.
But someone happened to believe it, and Pope Carloma I believed it.
"I, the most devout shepherd of the Holy Light, King Kaloma I, declare Maria Solain to be the enemy of the Holy Light. All believers in the Holy Light must purify this filthy daughter."
Early the next morning, such notices were posted everywhere in the capital of San Antonio.
"This eating scene is too ugly..."
I feel a little helpless. Playing this set at this time is not exciting enough.
There is a word "holy" in front of San Antonio, which shows his religious inclination. The belief in the Holy Light is the absolute mainstream among the people. It is indeed a good idea to use theocratic power to suppress the royal power.
Letting the Pope declare Mary a heretic would deprive Mary of the royal legitimacy she possessed, which was a good move in terms of political struggle.
But now that the war is still going on, are you just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, and aren't you worried that she will actually throw herself into the abyss in anger?
Even if you are unloading the mill and killing the donkey, let's wait until the rice is finished. The other party still holds half of the country, so if you just play against the rules, you won't be afraid of losing it.
The devil will not accept the surrender of humans, but she is a demon warlock, a spell caster with demon blood flowing in her body, and can be transformed into a demon through a demonization ritual. Then she will be completely out of control.
If things go so far and the rumors come true, I'm afraid Kaloma and Winston are counting on this to happen.
"I, the discoverer of pure holy light, the successor of Estrada, the strongest knight of holy light in this world, Roland Lan, declare Maria Solain to be a devout believer in the holy light."
So, at noon that day, I unscrupulously flew into the sky with my wings, and while cosplaying the artificial sun, I roared throughout the audience.
The pure Holy Light belief of the Southern sect has spread widely in the world, and there is no shortage of believers in San Antonio. Then I wrote a letter to the Southern sect. I estimate that in a few days, the title of saint given to Mary will be
Will be sent over.
Two sects, one accusing someone of being a heretic, and the other praising someone as a devout saint, have become conflicts of faith between religious branches.
When I landed, Kaloma looked at me and wanted to eat me alive, but I shrugged and said it had nothing to do with me.
"I...I really received trustworthy information. That heretic is the extremely evil Daughter of the Abyss!"
The old pope blowing his nose angrily and staring was quite funny, so I answered sincerely.
"I have also received very certain information. Queen Maria is indeed a devout believer in the Holy Light. I swear by the Holy Light."
The still pure Holy Light proves that I am not lying. From my private information sources, this demon warlock is indeed a very strange believer in the Holy Light. Otherwise, he would not have made this excuse if he was against the Holy Church.
Kaloma was so angry that he planned to lead his team to fight me, but was stopped by his subordinate Cardinal, probably because he was worried that he would not be able to defeat me.
In fact, I'm not really afraid when facing a strong person of the Holy Light system. As one of the most powerful Holy Light users in the world, I'm not afraid of most of the Holy Light magic. At worst, if he plays God's Fall, I'll turn around.
Just run.
No, this might be a good opportunity.
"God comes down. Kaloma, I really want to see the fourth incarnation of the God of Holy Light. One was killed by Ayer, one was killed in a certain plane, one was blasted by the forbidden curse, tsk tsk tsk, consumed.
A lot of divine power."
Seeing me blaspheming God on the spot, the old guy almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from anger.
Finally, the old pope, who was so angry that he was asthmatic and stammering when he saw me, took his people to the front line as planned, and I was happy and quiet.
On the other side, originally, I thought that Prince Winston would kick me out if I spoke to Maria, but in the end, he became more friendly to me and invited me to talk privately many times.
"Don't get me wrong, I really didn't spread that rumor. That gentleman's unauthorized actions gave me a headache. As a soldier, I still have common sense. If civil war breaks out again at this time, I will become the leader of the entire country.
sinner."
What he said was very sincere, but it is enough to listen to what politicians say. I have seen many more outrageous and stupid decisions for the sake of rights and interests.
"Your Highness, I am telling the truth. No matter who spread such rumors and caused that gentleman to declare Maria to be a heretic, he could not help but want Maria's life and was shaking the entire Saint Antonia.
The foundation of Austria.”
It seemed that his perfunctory expression was noticed, so I nodded quickly.
"Yes, I understand, I believe it."
"...You don't believe me at all with your expression. I really am telling the truth. Even if we want to fight a civil war, we have to wait for the end of the holy war."
"Yeah, um, truth be told."
The old handsome guy was so depressed that he almost cried without tears, but I was praising his outstanding acting skills from the bottom of my heart. His expression and demeanor were so perfect that I almost believed him.
How much is the difference? The difference is more than three hundred years. I would definitely believe it at the age of 14.
I didn't plan to stay in the capital for a long time. I compared the geographical information of the palace and determined the most likely locations of the ruins, and then set off directly to say goodbye.
The only regret is probably that the joint force's affairs have to be put on hold. Looking at the current situation in San Antonio, he can't even handle his own affairs, so he has no time to worry about it.
But before setting off, I unexpectedly received a letter of thanks and invitation from Maria, probably expecting me to be her guest and thanking me for my help.
Such an invitation, being able to establish a relationship with the real power holder in San Antonio, I would not refuse, even if it was a roundabout way, I would go there.
Especially at this moment, San Antonio is still the largest food reserve country in the mainland, and the Lan Alliance behind me is the largest arms exporter in the mainland. As long as we work together, we will naturally make a raging fire.
What? Why not sell it to Winston?
The opponent has the knights of the kingdom, the help of the Holy Light Church, and the presence of the pope and cardinals. How can they use our weapons and equipment?
It can be said that the moment the Holy Church declared Mary a heretic, the enemies of our enemies had the potential to become friends, and she became our natural ally.
But on the way, I discovered that something was very wrong.
"This rumor about the daughter of the abyss spread too quickly and too widely." (To be continued.)
