Zong Shen, who was sitting on the chair, silently took the last bite of the fruit pulp and placed the core on the table.
He knew what Sally's real appeal was.
It's not about the church's plan for the giant city, nor does it have anything to do with the filthy second prince.
Rather, she wanted to break away from the Calamity Raven Church and free herself from the prison of her identity as a saint.
Looking at the crying Safuri, Zong Shen leaned forward slightly, showing a thoughtful look.
After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and asked.
"You mean you want to take this opportunity to completely get rid of the control of the church?"
In response to his blunt statement, Safuri nodded with red eyes.
Looking at Zong Shen was like looking at the warriors who rescued girls from the devil's cave in those stories.
Ignoring the eager gaze, Zong Shen tapped the table gently with one hand.
"Combined with the circumstances you mentioned before."
"Regarding the changes in the Giant City Athletic Conference, it involves the forces of the Lancaster family, the Calamity Raven Church, and the second prince Carter."
"Without the support of the second prince, the nobles in Lancaster and the Great City may not be lambs to be slaughtered."
"When the church raises the table and shows its cards, the second prince and the Lancaster family will naturally unite."
"I'm afraid that the reinforcements of the Apostles that will come from the passages of Jackdaw Valley and the projection of God will not be able to defeat them 100%."
Zong Shen's expression was slightly serious, and his tone was calm and indifferent.
The key point was stated directly.
After all, the second prince is also a strong candidate among the Avalon royal family to compete for the new king.
He is truly a noble son of the royal family.
He must have a life-saving trump card in his hand, and he must be accompanied by high-level guards.
For example, the Lancaster family, as the nobles in charge of the giant city and the host, must have prepared a lot of backup after years of running the giant city.
Just relying on the projection of a weak god worshiped by second- and third-rate forces like the Calamity Raven Church to gain a crushing advantage is probably just wishful thinking.
Just as Zong Shen had guessed before, this decision had a desperate meaning for the church.
In fact, the church is not as sure as Sally said.
Gods are indeed very powerful, but they are also divided into three, six or nine levels.
Moreover, the current Endless Continent has great restrictions on any interference by gods.
Just like the projection of the alien gods summoned by the Goblin Chief.
First, a large number of sacrifices need to be prepared. After completing the ceremony, the descending process will also be naturally blocked by dimensional barriers.
The power of the final projection is not too outrageous.
The overall upper limit is still within the range that Endless Continent can bear.
The specifics depend on the scale of the ceremony and the extent to which the gods are restricted.
But no matter what, the church's hand is still far from being able to defeat the second prince and the Lancaster family.
As for Sally's request for freedom, it is even more outrageous.
This means that she needs to find a strong enough fourth party to intervene.
This party must be able to crush the strength of any party before it is possible to leverage the entanglement of the three parties at the same time.
And this fourth-party force that Safuri has high hopes for is none other than Zong!
However, he is not a big injustice.
The risk of getting involved in this matter is extremely high. If you are not careful, you will be jointly targeted by the three parties.
It is no longer the petty harvesting operation of the past.
Its influence is no less than directly declaring war on the giant city.
But thinking about it on the other hand, if he really succeeded in meddling, he would not only be able to directly obtain the giant city of Lentax, but also occupy the Jackdaw Valley and capture the second prince alive.
Use various means to increase the favorability of the second prince, or try to get him to join the territory directly, so that you may be able to control him.
As long as you get people, there are still many ways!
Compared with these benefits, Safuri's freedom is nothing to mention.
As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger.
As long as this plan succeeds, his development progress will go up several floors.
In addition, there are many loopholes that can be exploited.
For example, directly kill the Calamity Raven Church and occupy Jackdaw Valley.
This requires finding a way to block the church before it takes action.
Specific plans still need to be studied.
However, what Zong Shen just said left the Raven Saint Safuri powerless to refute.
"You are right."
Unknowingly, she changed her address to Zong Shen with honorifics.
"This is indeed a game between three parties."
"But the church has no retreat."
"They came out in full force and went all out."
"You and your men can lurk in the dark and wait until the critical moment when both sides suffer losses."
"I would like to be your spy."
"Whether it's the giant city or Jackdaw Valley, it will become your new territory."
"As a small reward..."
Safuli simply showed off her cards, stood up slowly, and walked towards Zong Shen.
As I walked, my jacket and robe slowly slid down.
The dew (anti-harmony) shows the plumpness that is as undulating as the mountains.
The fair skin is very dazzling under the light and shadow.
He just raised his legs and straddled Zong Shen's body, reached out and fumbled to unlock the armor's lock.
Zong raised his neck and took a deep breath.
"Well..."
"A very irritating reward..."
"But, I like it."
He didn't resist, but closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
There is no need for him to take any action, Safuri will naturally handle it obediently.
This move represented her official stance, because Zong Shen saw Safuli joining the territory.
As a kind of container of divinity, when her chastity is broken, the divinity contained in the blood in her body will be greatly weakened.
And her blood is one of the important materials used to enhance the effects of many rituals and church circles.
In other words, if she gave her body to Zong Shen, she would be exposed sooner or later after returning to the church.
But there is no problem in delaying it until the competition.
There is no doubt that this is a special letter of nomination she gave to Zong Shen.

…
The giant city of Lentax, the Marquis Castle in the first circle.
A young girl in a gorgeous dress sat alone at the table.
The floating candlelight was as lonely and indescribable as her mood at this time.
Just as her father was worried, the second prince had been attracted to her beauty since he arrived in the city three days ago.
I have made many requests to my father to get married.
But everyone in the Lancaster family knew that once Penny became the wife of the second prince, she would be completely on the pirate ship, and there would be no way out in future battles.
However, no matter what the reason was, the second prince could not give up this idea.
So Henry, Marquess of Lancaster, could only settle for the next best thing.
He asked to wait until the athletic competition and the noble banquet celebrating Penny's coming of age were over before discussing the matter of getting married.
These days, the second prince almost never leaves Penny, and is particularly fascinated by her true appearance without disguise.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lancaster family controlled the giant city as a bargaining chip, I'm afraid the second prince would have kidnapped her by force. That bad guy didn't have a good reputation among the nobles.
There are many scandals about Prince Carter in the Imperial City.
I don't know how many girls have lost their virginity because of him.
There are also misdeeds such as seizing wives and abducting young girls.
Compared with him, Evans of Bosbon is nothing.
As a prince, this evil deed is simply not worth mentioning.
But for Penny, it would be better to kill her than let her commit herself to such a bad prince.
After these few days of contact, she already knew Prince Carter's habits.
He is rude and fierce, without any of the restraint and etiquette that a nobleman should have.
No wonder he is nicknamed the "barbarian prince" in the royal family.
Marquis Henry did not know this.
So these days, the entire Lancaster family is in a depressed atmosphere.
Penny is a delicate flower that has not experienced the bloody wind and frost, retaining the purest and most beautiful fragrance.
So she was almost distressed and couldn't sleep day and night.
The other half in her heart is by no means such a bad prince, but a chic and suave knight.
Just when she couldn't sleep and was worried about this.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door behind me.
"Dong dong..."
The crisp knock on the door made Penny's heart tighten.
Prince Carter now also lives in the castle. This is the darkest moment before the morning sun has arrived.
I'm sure it's the bad guy with evil intentions.
Just when she was about to blow out the candles on the table and get into bed, pretending to be asleep.
"Penny, it's me."
Father's steady voice came from outside the door.
Penny immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She put on a flowered cloak to cover her body under the light gauze clothes. She opened the door and welcomed her father in.
After closing the door, he turned around, knelt down, made a ladylike salute, and said hello to his father.
"Father."
"Um!"
Marquis Henry nodded solemnly.
He walked to the table and looked at the two-thirds of the candlestick on the table that was burning.
He turned around and asked with some distress.
"Still unable to sleep tonight?"
This question actually does not require an answer, otherwise he would not come to his daughter's boudoir late at night.
Penny showed a peaceful smile, held her hands in front of her, and stood behind her father.
Looking at his daughter's smile, Marquis Henry felt as if an invisible hand was pinching his heart, making him unable to breathe and extremely uncomfortable.
The athletic meet and noble banquet were originally held to find a good son-in-law for Penny.
Moreover, he had been particularly worried about the second prince before (recalling the relevant content in chapters 617~618).
But I didn’t expect that no matter what I was afraid of, the damn second prince would not let go of the innocent Penny after all!
This is not only a matter of taking sides completely, but the most important thing is that Penny is not willing at all!
But the pressure from the second prince was huge.
Behind him stood Archduke Jonathan, one of the three princes.
Once they break their skin or rebel, the consequences will be unbearable for the Lancaster family.
So Marquis Henry was also very painful in his heart.
He can only choose to sacrifice the life-long happiness of his beloved little daughter in exchange for a temporary survival.
And from now on, the Lancastrians must fight for the kingdom with all their might.
Otherwise, when Carter fails in his bid for the king, the Lancaster family will also be destroyed.
However, just a few hours ago, things took a new turn.
Henry, Marquess of Lancaster, received a secret letter from a giant city in the east tens of thousands of kilometers away.
The sender is Anna Pendragon, the third princess.
She suddenly extended an olive branch to the Marquis of Lancaster.
Because she knew Carter was staying in the giant city of Lentax.
In her letter she proposed a rather bold plan.
She wants to get the Lancaster family back on their side and help her put Prince Carter under house arrest.
At the same time, Princess Anna will send elite reinforcements to support the giant city of Lentax.
After all, the eastern coast is not that far from here and can almost be connected quickly.
Support and response are also very quick.
The most important thing is that Princess Anna also has forces behind her that are no less powerful than Grand Duke Jonathan!
But if Marquis Henry really cooperates with the third princess to capture the second prince.
That means that the battle for the king within the Kingdom of Avalon has moved from darkness to light.
Large-scale wars and tense confrontations will break out at any time!
So Marquis Henry was also hesitant.
He knew that his youngest daughter Penny was deeply harassed by Prince Carter and had been unable to sleep at night these days.
So he planned to come to see her and tell Penny about Princess Anna's letter.
Let's hear what our precious daughter has to say.
But just now, when Marquis Henry saw Penny's haggard look and still gentle smile.
He suddenly made up his mind!
There was still silence in the room, because Marquis Henry had not yet thought of how to speak.
"call!"
He exhaled heavily and then sat on the chair next to the table.
"Penny, tell father..."
"Are you deeply troubled by Prince Carter?"
"I want to hear your truth."
Marquis Henry asked solemnly.
Penny slowly lowered her head.
When he raised his head again, there were two faint tears on his cheeks.
But the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she still smiled so gently.
"For the sake of the family, Penny is willing to accept any arrangement..."
"As the family motto says: 'The storm is coming, I will protect the Lancaster family!'"
"Penny is willing to defend the family tradition!"
She spoke softly, but Marquis Henry heard a hint of determination in her voice.
"The storm is coming, I will protect the Lancaster family..."
He murmured and repeated.
His dark and tired eyes suddenly burst into life.
"Penny, you're right."
"The Lancastrians fear no storm!"
"Look at this and tell me what you think."
"We should not wait passively for the storm to come!"
Marquis Henry took out the parchment letter that was almost crumpled into rags from his arms.
Penny stretched out her hand and smoothed it carefully, and then started to read carefully line by line.
His expression gradually changed from a slightly excited and calm expression to one of surprise and surprise.
Two or three minutes later, after reading the entire letter, she suddenly raised her head and looked at her father.
At the same time, Marquis Henry was also looking at her.
Looking into each other's eyes, the father and daughter understood each other's thoughts at the same time.
