The land of a thousand lakes, the ruins at the bottom of the lake.
After returning from the Black Forest, Douglas did not immediately go to the place where "Arlinge" was buried. Instead, he waited with Anold and Fernando for the news in Rentat City. Only after understanding the strength and intensity of the church's counterattack, did he know "
With the ending of "Dark Blue Demon" Sharp, he can study "City in the Sky" with peace of mind, lest the magician who attended the party be arrested and leak the location of "Aringe" - it crashed there, and there is almost no way to escape without causing trouble.
Move away in case of big commotion.
"President, 'Heart of Time' Ketonia left the Glory Cathedral and returned to his villa in the city, but the church did not arrest the 'Deep Blue Demon'." A magician reported to Arnold about Lenta
Regarding the situation in the city, they had no way of placing spies within the church or among the great nobles, so they could only inquire about superficial things.
Arnold stroked his white beard and nodded lightly: "Ctonia already knew what happened from Rigg, and would definitely tell Franz. However, the church did not say that Sharp would be executed, and did not even conduct an arrest and interrogation. It was very strange.
Weird, it seems that things have changed, perhaps as a result of the battle between the Pope and Silver Moon..."
He analyzed the reason. It was due to the fact that it was far away from the Alto, Tria, and Reims areas, and the magicians were unable to arrange the magic of transmitting sound messages in the cathedrals of various important cities like the church.
Formation, so the information is limited and we cannot analyze the reasons, so we can only make speculative judgments.
"No matter what the reason is, at least the church compromised this time. It compromised with the nobles, which is very important to fuel their ambitions." Douglas said with a calm expression, not knowing whether it was joy or expectation.
"So I say that whether the church kills Sharp or not, it is still in our interest." Arnold said with a smile, turning to look at Fernando, "Don't go to old Green for the time being. Sharp should know by now that we are using him.
It’s when the anger is hard to get rid of, so let’s cool down for a while before talking.”
At this point, he smiled narrowly and said: "Count Fernando Pefos happens to be in Rentat. You can ask him to find out where the status of the nobility comes from and how powerful the nobility is.
, by the way, let’s inquire about the situation on Alto’s side. Find out the outcome of the battle between the Pope and ‘Silver Moon’.”
At this time, the nobles have much richer sources of information than they do. If you don't ask them, who can you ask?
"Earl of Pephos?" Fernando was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. "I have to put on that belt again."
Arnold smiled and said: "What? Very repulsive? I think you were very interested before and were still studying how to improve the belt."
Fernando laughed twice: "Life is so short compared to death, so why not try more different experiences in your limited life?"
"But no matter how interesting the experience is, you will get bored. Only the mysteries of the world and magic can always be profound and moving." Douglas was not aware of the transgender belt, so he expressed his views casually.
Arnold laughed twice and said nothing more in the manner of an elder.
…………
The night was quiet, but Earl Peforth's villa was as lively as daytime with people coming and going.
Knights came one after another in the dark night, and then left in the dark night, exchanging information and confirming attitudes without stopping at all. Because what happened tonight was too shocking, they had to panic and give up their rest.
, who could have imagined that Duke Sharp would join forces with magicians to assassinate Cardinal Alfonso? Who would have imagined that His Excellency Ketonia had received the news in advance and planned to kill all the magicians? Who could have imagined that the famous "Time of Time"
Because of this, Your Excellency fell into a trap, almost died, and suffered the most painful defeat after becoming famous?
And such a thing will inevitably set off a hurricane. Just the tail of the wind will make ordinary nobles like them lose everything. Therefore, how can they not panic and wait and see, and not look for their lords and higher-level nobles?
Inquiry?
It is for this reason that Earl Pephos's villa is so lively.
Watching several subordinate nobles leave together, Earl Pephos showed deep fatigue on his face. For a knight like him, a few nights without rest is nothing. There is absolutely no way he will be tired because of this. He is tired.
It is the soul, which must analyze the attitude of the church and the attitudes of other great nobles based on the ever-changing intelligence, and constantly adjust its position to avoid encountering unexpected events in this turmoil.
"Your Majesty, Earl, since the church has sent a cardinal to appease Lord Sharp, it seems that things will not change for the worse. This is the grace of the Lord, and the devil's conspiracy will not succeed." The last nobleman in the living room bowed and saluted.
, ready to resign, he is the confidant of Earl Pephos.
In front of his confidants, Earl Pephos did not hide his exhaustion: "If Tria and Lance had not fought one after another, the outcome might have been very different. We are both strong and weak."
The nobleman who empathized with the Earl's last words sighed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the church's compromise makes us feel our own strength, but the real reason for their compromise makes us understand our own weakness. If,
If His Majesty the King and the others completely defeat the coalition of magicians, vampires, dragons, elves, etc., we..."
At this point, he felt a little scared, fearing that a night watchman was hiding nearby, so he didn't say any more and silently resigned and left.
Earl Pephos looked at the slowly closing door, his thoughts rising and falling, like the raging tide on the endless ocean. If there are no magicians, vampires and other enemies, what need does the church have to "raise" and respect the nobles? Recently?
Over the past hundred years, the changes in the attitude of the clergy can explain everything! Just like the beautiful and fiery female magician said, the enemy of the nobility is the magician, but the status of the nobility also comes from the magician!
Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, looked out the dark window, and said in a low voice: "Since you are here, let's come in."
"I have to give permission from the master before I can come in." A slightly magnetic deep female voice sounded, and the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly protruded inward, as if a transparent person was about to emerge from a bubble.
But soon, a petite beauty wearing a red magic robe came out, and the glass returned to its original shape.
Looking at the bright and beautiful girl, Earl Pephos no longer had a teasing expression, but said quite seriously and solemnly: "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, you don't know why I'm here? I remember you're not such a fool?" After transforming into a woman, Fernando felt that his sarcasm was relatively softer, "We have communicated before, and now I want to know,
Have you solved your doubts? Have you figured out where the status of the nobility comes from? Have you figured out how powerful your power is?"
Earl Pephos's eyes had unique golden vertical pupils, just like a golden dragon. He looked at Fernando and said slowly: "The answer to the question is not important. What is important is that you are too weak. Even if the 'Death Lord' recovers,
You are also weak, and it is impossible for me to pursue opportunities that are bound to fail."
He had doubts about the status and power of the nobility before, but what happened tonight made him realize it completely. However, he understood clearly that he was not going to share it with the magicians, so he pointed out the core of the problem straightforwardly.
Fernando was very satisfied with this attitude, which at least showed that Earl Pefos was willing to communicate with him and others. This was a sign of cooperation. He smiled, as if a light suddenly shone and the whole room was bright: "We are weak.
But the coalition of magicians, vampires, dragons, elves, etc. is not weak. If the nobles are separated again, the church can only protect itself. Of course, we do not need your risky cooperation for the time being, but we just hope to get a little help to give us time to grow.
, when the time comes, you will find that we are no longer weak enough to cooperate with you."
"Magicians cannot become powerful as quickly as clergy." Earl Pephos said noncommittally.
Fernando sensed Earl Pephos' concern and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked: "I just heard that there was a big fight between Tria and Lance?"
"...Yes, Silver Moon, Abel, and Dracula teamed up to attack the Pope..." After Earl Pefos pondered for a moment, he told the news exactly as he knew it.
Fernando was surprised, stunned and excited when he heard this, and he laughed secretly. Providing information was within the scope of "a little help". Count, you said you didn't agree to cooperate, but you had already "agreed" in your heart.
…………
"The Pope didn't take action, and the coalition forces still couldn't break Lance. They even only killed a cardinal and an epic knight, and then were completely suppressed? The strength of the church is really terrifying..." Arnold also got some information from other channels.
, which confirmed Fernando’s gains, but even so, he could not hide his surprise. He couldn’t believe that the strength of the church had become so strong!
In this world, almost all the legends except the clergy and nobles have united, but they still can't defeat the church that lost the pope - even the church still has cardinals and epics in the Great Holm area, on the edge of the endless ocean, etc.
The knight guards to prevent the remaining magicians and sea legends from causing trouble.
This is a really disappointing fact!
"If the Pope is restored, or if a new Pope is crowned, by the time he can use the magic of divine descent, the coalition forces may collapse." Douglas said worriedly. Now there is no way to defeat the Church, and it is even suppressed. If the Pope is added to the mix, then the Church will be defeated.
Even more unbearable.
Arnold nodded: "We can only hope that the 'Silver Moon' will be restored before the Pope is restored or the new Pope becomes a god, so that a confrontation can occur."
"This is not a problem we can control." Douglas smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, "It seems that the counterattack this time will not be too strong. At most, the remaining epic knights and cardinals will take action. Mr. President, then I'm going to Allinge."
"Okay, don't be lazy, try to research something!" Arnold warned without saying anything, and then looked at Fernando, "I hope you can go to Alto, Tria and other places to find out what's going on. We need to find out who is more likely to become the new pope, Griffith or Ivan, and look for some young magicians with potential to come over. After all, they can't get involved in the battle between legends." (To be continued, please search. Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
