At this time, Gilniv, who had been confused by Ainz Ooal Gown, became even more confused. He even forgot about explaining his innocence to the Holy Code Priest of The Theocracy.
"Huh? The meeting place was also designated by Your Majesty yourself, and it was also notified to us a few hours ago..." The tone of the Holy Scripture Priest was very cold, and he did not even use honorifics, and then asked Gilniv to take it back
Got some sense.
No...it won't happen. Just now...the Holy Scripture Priest might have given a hint!
This person is most likely a member of the Theocratic King's flagship unit, the Black Codex. The Theocratic Country shouldn't be so blind as to let that female devil sneak into its ace unit!
Ah... No, Badjad said that you can't draw conclusions easily about this female devil!
What if she really got in? Is the female priest standing in front of her really the female devil?
This is really bad! The first purpose of this meeting with Theocratic State is to discuss the issue of Sorcerous Kingdom with Theocratic State.
The second purpose is to remind the Theocracy that there is a female devil among them!
This... Let's put this aside for now! The question now is still about Ainz Ooal Gown! Why would he appear in such a place? It's just as strange as why his daughter is standing here. The information about this meeting
Only a very few people know, and they are all known by people they trust.
"This... this may be due to the control of magic and the information is leaked! This matter really has nothing to do with me, and I am also very surprised! If I really want to harm you, why would I be so panicked?" Gilniv explained.
However, the canon priest and the accompanying church priest did not believe Gilniv at all.
"Who would believe your one-sided words? I think you invited us here just because you wanted to drag us down!" said the Holy Canon Priest.
It's natural not to believe in yourself, and you wouldn't believe it if it were you, Gilniv thought to himself.
Where did the information leak out? Could it be the female devil who leaked it?
No...no, the time doesn't match up. The meeting place was notified to the Theocracy only a few hours ago, and the arrangements for the King of Martial Competition in the Arena were decided a few days ago, which means that Ainziwu
Er Gong has already obtained this information.
If you think about it this way, this is not an intelligence leak...but! He already knew it! Was all this part of his plan?
Gilniv felt a chill run down his back at the thought of this. It's so scary! Ainz Ooal Gown! Have you even reached this step?
Have you been fooled from the beginning? No! Now is not the time to be frightened by his wisdom! You have to think of a solution quickly!
"The situation is not good! You should get out of here quickly!" Gilniv said hurriedly. At least the Holy Code Priest must be allowed out of here. If Ainz Ooal Gown runs into him, it will be really bad! But!
That female devil? Why didn’t that female devil react at all?
Unfortunately, as soon as Gilniv finished speaking, Ainz Ooal Gown's voice came from outside the stands...
"Lord Gilniv, long time no see."
Gilniv was shocked. He tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and forced a smile. When he looked back, he saw Ainz Ooal Gown floating in the mid-air of the arena, at the same height as the stands in the VIP room.
.
"This...this, this...um...didn't...expect to see you in a place like this, Lord Gown." Gilniv didn't know how to talk to Ainz Ooal Gown, and whatever he said would come true to his words.
"Haha... Me too, this is really a coincidence!" Ainz Ooal Gown let out a very hearty laugh, and it was clear at first glance that he did not regard this as a coincidence at all.
It’s real! All of this is part of Ainz Ooal Gown’s plan! Starting from the time when his daughter was appointed as a diplomat! Everything is under his control!
Let Elizabeth come to the Empire, and then fully demonstrate the power of the Sorcerer Kingdom in the Empire, and then sneak into the Theocracy.
The reason why Elizabeth directly rejected her request for subordination before was because her father and she wanted to use the empire to drag the Theocracy into trouble!
The bastard father and daughter had already seen through their own thoughts and thought that they would definitely seek help from the Theocracy after the battle on the Kaz Plains! So they made arrangements in advance. This would not only directly drag the Theocracy into trouble!
He can also put pressure on the empire at the same time! This guy! Not only in terms of strength... but also in terms of resourcefulness, he is also an opponent that humans cannot defeat!
Gilniv secretly wiped the hands behind his back on his clothes, wiping away the sweat on his palms.
"So...are those acquaintances of His Majesty?" Ainz Ooal Gown turned his attention to the priests behind Gilniv.
Aren't you asking knowingly? He clearly knows the identities of these people! Why are you still asking like this? You are so vicious! Ainz Ooal Gown!
This obviously puts a choice between the two on his own shoulders. Should he lie to protect the Theocracy? Or should he side with him and betray the Theocracy? No matter which side he chooses...the Empire cannot see the future.
Got it!
"What's wrong? Sir Gilniff, you don't look good? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ainz Ooal Gown asked with a slightly worried tone, but this was just a joking taunt from the winner.
That's all.
"No, no...I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy after standing for a long time." Gilniff answered blankly.
"Really? Health is a capital, you have to pay more attention!" Ainz Ooal Gown didn't seem to care too much about the choice between the two just thrown out, but he was very cooperative with his forced excuse.
Replied, or does he have a more vicious plan behind him?
"So... these friends? I am the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown. Can you please meet them?" Ainz Ooal Gown jumped over Gilniv and asked.
Originally, it was very rude to do this, but Ainz Ooal Gown didn't care about it at all, and it seemed that he didn't take Gilniv seriously at all.
Moreover... the king of a country has already announced his name. Naturally, the priests of the Theocracy cannot leave without saying a word, but doesn't Ainz Ooal Gown already know their identities? Why do you still ask like this?
Gilniv didn’t understand what he was doing...
"Hmm...one of them looks quite familiar?" Ainz Ooal Gown continued. It was obvious that he was referring to his daughter! Elizabeth, the devil! Is this a deliberate reminder?
"I'm sorry, we should have reported our names originally, but we have other urgent matters and must leave quickly. Regarding our matters, please ask His Majesty later. I'm sorry... The Sorcerer King
Your Majesty," the Holy Canon Priest said, and stood up from his seat.
"Really? That's a pity, but it doesn't matter... We should have the opportunity to meet again in the future, so please take care of it. I still have to play, so I'll excuse you." Ainz Ooal Gown said nonchalantly, and then
Falling into the arena.
"You actually plotted against me!" the Holy Code Priest said in great displeasure after seeing Ainz Ooal Gown fall into the center of the arena.
"No! I didn't!!" Gilniv replied desperately, and he knew that nothing he could say now would be of any use.
"No? That guy obviously knows our identities. Those words just now were completely mocking us for being played by him, about our Theocracy! How much did you leak! To protect your own country?
! Just sell our Theocracy directly!" the Holy Canon Priest said sternly with great dissatisfaction.
Gilniv could only turn his attention to the two priests of the church for help, but the emotions in the eyes of the two priests were hostility and disappointment.
Gilniv understood that he was really doomed this time. Ainz Ooal Gown had really delivered a fatal blow to the empire at the most appropriate time!
Originally, when she expressed her willingness to submit to Elizabeth, Elizabeth also said that her father would be unhappy and she would be unhappy as well.
It is obvious that Ainz Ooal Gown and Elizabeth both know that if the empire is subordinated in such an unreasonable manner, other countries will definitely have ideas. There are also various opposition voices within the empire itself. However, now, in the Kaz Plains
After the First World War, after fully demonstrating the strength of the Sorcerer Kingdom, and then subordinating the Empire, who within the Empire would dare to say anything?
It can also bring the Theocracy down... This move... is really vicious! Now... now, the only way in front of him is to betray humanity.
"I know that it is useless to say anything now. The Sorcerer King's strength and wisdom far exceed my imagination. Even so, I still ask you...believe me, I have not betrayed you." Gilniv was very happy.
Said dejectedly.
"Even if I believe you, the Theocracy's intelligence has still been leaked. This will not change. Unfortunately, Your Majesty, we may not meet again in the future." After finishing speaking, the Holy Canon Priest wanted to leave.
.
Gilniv understood that the Theocracy's attitude towards the Sorcerous Kingdom had always been ambiguous. From the declaration of the ownership of the Kaz Plains, it was obvious that it had a neutral attitude, and even favored the side of the Sorcerous Kingdom.
Now this meeting is the bottom line of Theocratic State's intention to become an enemy of the Sorcerous Kingdom. Although it is said that the female devil has infiltrated into Theocratic State, most of Theocratic State's actions are still under the surface.
Now, as long as the Theocratic State dares to make any rash move against the Sorcerous Kingdom, the Sorcerous Kingdom can immediately use this meeting as an excuse to force the Theocratic State onto the stage of hostility, so that the Sorcerous Kingdom can justifiably attack the Theocratic State.
Well, you know...the Sorcerer King is someone who really likes to "play"!
It can be seen from the black labor invasion incident that Ainz Ooal Gown likes to put himself on the side of "justice", even if his various schemes in the audience are unjust and even vicious.
, but that's not important... what's important is the apparent "justice".
"Can you wait a moment? Lord Priest..." When the others were about to walk out of the VIP room, the female priest who had been standing there, the female devil, spoke up. As soon as this familiar voice came out, people on the side
The faces of Bajed and Nimble suddenly turned pale. Nimble even subconsciously moved his hand to the hilt of his sword, and was stopped by Bajed.
Sure enough, it was her. Although he had recognized her just now, after hearing her familiar voice and confirming that it was indeed the female devil, Gilniff felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"What's wrong? Clementine?" the Holy Scripture Priest stopped and asked.
Clementine Gilniff was a little curious when she heard this name. Although she knew that since it was an infiltration, it was normal to change her name, but this name always felt very familiar, as if she had seen it in an intelligence report a long time ago.
"Although it's a bit overstepping the mark,...Master Priest, I don't think His Majesty the Emperor has betrayed our Theocracy." the female devil said.
Huh? What the hell is this? Gilniv was immediately confused. Why would this female devil help him?!
