"No matter how perfect the regulations are, it is impossible to achieve absolute fairness. Everything must be based on facts. Although the magic crystal cannon transported by the Dusk Tower caravan is in line with the so-called prohibited weapons, it does not harm the interests of the kingdom.
It will not cause harm. On the contrary, goods of such value passing through the border will also bring a considerable amount of tax to the kingdom. It is you who will really harm the interests of the kingdom. I have invited Duke Wilson and Duke Jean to come.
Let's see how you explain it to them." Count Andre said with a sneer. The two dukes he mentioned are the ministers responsible for the kingdom's business and taxation, and they can completely label Clark as destroying the kingdom's business reputation.
.
"It's such a strong argument, it's just..." Clark obviously wouldn't give in like this. The other party has a backing, so doesn't he have a backing? He calmed down his emotions a little, and said with a gloomy face: "Just right, I don't care about this matter either.
Reported to Marshal Benjamin, then we will see who is right."
Hearing that Clark actually invited the first marshal of the kingdom, Andre's face finally couldn't calm down. Although Marshal Benjamin's title is not high, he is in charge of the command of all the armies in the entire kingdom and is the highest ranking person below the king in the entire kingdom.
A powerful being. Generally speaking, marshals like this who hold military and political power are often the most feared by the king. They will be suspected and criticized everywhere, and basically they will not end well. But for Marshal Benjamin, King Leiding
Sanelli is very trusting, even more than he trusts members of the royal family.
Obviously, no one could completely suppress the other in the backstage competition, and Count Andre seemed to be slightly inferior. However, it was simply impossible for him to admit defeat, for the same reason as General Clark.
, if this matter is messed up, he may not be able to gain a foothold in the traditional aristocratic circle.
"General Clark, when it comes to harming the interests of the kingdom, I wonder if those scum who withhold military pay and resell military supplies are harming the interests of the kingdom." Andre said not to be outdone.
"You... hum! Do you, the noble Earl, also talk about these gossipy things? I have something here, I wonder if you want to hear it..." General Clark also had a sneer on his face.
The two important figures in the Kingdom of Riding, completely disregarding their own image at this time, talked about everything from the magic crystal cannon of the Tower of Twilight caravan to the big and small secrets behind their backs, constantly exposing each other. What kind of collusion?
Underground forces, reselling military supplies, robbing men and dominating women and running lawless, abusing lynchings to cause death, etc...
Although the two people in the dispute are exposing each other's scandals, in fact, as the powerful class of the Kingdom of Leiding, those so-called scandals will not really affect them. In fact, these things are just said here.
, just because no one has said it before doesn’t mean that people don’t know, often they can guess who the other person is just by thinking about what they do.
However, in front of the door of the living room, Domingo and Holliard, who were asking Lin Li for advice, gradually became a little ugly. In this kingdom of Leding, maybe not everyone is a saint.
Believers of the Light, but they will definitely not be nobles. It can be said that in the Kingdom of Leiding, the most basic condition for becoming a noble is to believe in the teachings of the Holy Light and become a believer of the Holy Light. Otherwise, no matter what great achievements you have
, and it is impossible to obtain any title.
However, just because a person says that he or she believes in the teachings of the Holy Light, or even memorizes the entire teachings of the Holy Light, does not mean that he is a truly devout believer in the Holy Light. Saying one thing and doing another is not what humans are best at.
Not to mention these ordinary people who claim to believe in the Holy Light Doctrine, even the clergy of the Temple of Light do not demand themselves in accordance with the Holy Light Doctrine in every word and deed.
Although Domingo and Holliard are aware of this kind of thing, after all, they have passed the age of innocence, but the problem is that there is Lin Li around them, the president of the magic union from the magic country of France. Clark and
Andre's revelation of each other's secrets was almost like exposing his family's scandal to outsiders, which made the two great figures of the Temple of Light extremely embarrassed.
Finally, with a heavy cold snort, Holliard closed the notebook in his hand, his face gloomy as if it was about to rain, and he strode into the living room with a strong stride. As for Lin Li and Domingo
, didn’t even raise his head, still whispering about pharmacy knowledge by the door.
Holliard's tall figure blocked the sunlight coming in from the living room door. At this time, Clark and Andre, who were arguing, suddenly felt someone coming in.
"Who...ah! Master Holliard!" Clark and Andre stopped arguing, looked at the visitor and exclaimed in surprise. As the upper echelons of the Riding Kingdom, how could they not know the Temple of Light?
As for the leader of the Holy Knights. However, thinking about the content of the argument between the two of them just now, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't help but blush a little at this moment.
"Do you still look like a noble?" Holliard cursed angrily. After listening to the quarrel between the two people, he felt that the air here seemed extremely dirty. Of course, he has not forgotten that he came here.
Purpose, I didn't bother to comment on the character of the two people, and said directly to Clark: "Clark, your people have detained the caravan and goods in the Twilight Tower, right? I hope you will lift the seizure order immediately."
"What...what!"
As soon as Holliard's words came out, the expressions on Andre and Clark's faces suddenly became extremely wonderful. Andre was naturally secretly happy in his heart. He never thought that the Tower of Twilight would actually have a relationship with Holliard.
, this is a big shot who is completely above the aristocratic circle, even Marshal Benjamin cannot fail to give him face.
Clark's expression was one of complete sorrow. Let's not talk about the outcome of this time. I am afraid that even if his side wins, he will be hated by the people of the Temple of Light. However, if
If you just admit defeat like this, you will really become the public enemy of both sides. If you offend the Temple of Light and lose the protection of your own high-level officials, I am afraid that the Temple of Light will label you a heretic and you will die miserably.
Clark knew that he really had no way out. This was no longer a matter of face, but a matter of wealth and life. He suppressed the panic in his heart, looked at Holliard with twinkling eyes, and said, "Holliday
Lord De, I am very sorry. If there are other matters, I will definitely serve you with all my strength. This is the only matter that concerns the interests of the kingdom, and I...cannot agree to it."
"Uh..." Andre was a little dumbfounded. When did Clark become so courageous and dare to confront Lord Holliard of the Temple of Light? You know, in the Kingdom of Leiding, although there are royal families and nobles, but
The real controller is the Temple of Light. Although Holliard is the leader of the Holy Knights and strictly speaking has no right to interfere in the affairs of the kingdom, after all, his identity is no less than that of the four archbishops.
exist.
Even Holliard was stunned when he heard this. This kind of thing is really rare in his memory. He was actually rejected. Although the other party said it was not impressive, it was indeed a rejection. Holliard
His face became even more gloomy. You must know that Master Fei Lei is outside. He thought it was just a matter of words, but he was actually rejected by the other party!
"Since it is a matter of the kingdom, Holliard really has no say. So General Clark, I wonder if my words will have any effect." Before the three people inside came to their senses, Archbishop Domingo
He also stepped into the room, wearing a pure white robe of light, which seemed to make the whole room much brighter.
Of course, Archbishop Domingo walked into the room with the two magicians Lin Li and Gavin. However, apart from Archbishop Domingo, Andre and Clark only knew them and had dealt with them.
Gavin, but he has never met Lin Li, the real owner of the Twilight Tower.
"This... Archbishop Domingo, why don't you..." Looking at Gavin who came in behind Domingo, Clark knew that Archbishop Domingo was obviously here to speak for the Tower of Twilight. But the problem was, this Tower of Twilight
What the hell is the tower's background? It can actually let the archbishop and the leader of the Holy Knights stand up for them. Just refused Holliard, and you can use the scope of authority as an excuse, but the archbishop can discuss the kingdom with His Majesty the King.
As a business person, do you have any excuse to refuse?
Clark was shocked and hating in his heart. If he had known that the Tower of Dusk was related to the Temple of Light, let alone not giving him gifts, even if he had been given gifts in turn, he would not have done such a thing. Now, he still
Can we rely on Marshal Benjamin? Even if His Majesty the King sees the Archbishop, he will bow respectfully. No matter how powerful Marshal Benjamin is, can he be more powerful than His Majesty the King?
Clark finally came to his senses. Now that the archbishop has come to stand up for the Twilight Tower, what's the point of continuing to stand up for himself? Moreover, I think his side won't blame himself too much. It's not that he doesn't work hard, but
The enemy is too powerful. If you have the ability, come and talk to the Archbishop yourself.
"General Clark, I don't know if I can, please lift the order to detain the Tower of Dusk caravan." Archbishop Domingo looked at General Clark with cold eyes. This opportunity is to have a master of medicine teach him about medicine knowledge.
How rare it was to be disturbed by what that bastard Clark did. Even though he was already quite old, it was impossible not to have resentment in his heart at this time.
