The Holy Scripture Priest turned back to look at Elizabeth and was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, or waiting for Elizabeth to give him a further explanation.
"I feel that if the Emperor of the Empire intends to betray the Theocracy, there is no need to create so many tricks. It seems that we can do it directly when we arrive in the Empire, without waiting until now." Elizabeth looked around the room and continued.
"Several layers of anti-eavesdropping and anti-peeping magic have been set up around it, and there are steel-level adventurer guards outside the door..." Elizabeth placed her eyes on the pen and ink papers on the table.
"Important information is also planned to be conveyed on paper. The panic that appeared after seeing Ainz Ooal Gown did not look like an act. I noticed just now that the majestic Emperor of the Empire was facing Ainz Ooal Gown.
I was so nervous that my palms sweated, and I secretly wiped them on my clothes... So! I think if I had planned it in advance, I wouldn't have spent so much time putting on a show for us," Elizabeth said.
"Well... maybe what you said makes sense, but if it's leaked, it's leaked... regardless of whether the emperor meant it or not..." the Holy Scripture Priest said, but his tone had softened a lot.
"We...were all plotted by the Sorcerer King! This is a trap. The Sorcerer King is wiser than me. Please believe that I have not betrayed you. The current situation must be part of his plan..."
Gilniv had no idea why Elizabeth in front of him would speak for him and reason... The situation just now was already the ideal state to push the empire to a dead end, but the female devil actually spoke for him. Could it be that there was something else?
Is it a more vicious plot? Or is there some other secret? No matter what, I can only go on following her words.
"Okay, I believe you!" the Holy Scripture Priest turned around and said.
This made Gilniv breathe a sigh of relief, and here he felt a little grateful to Elizabeth. If the connection point with the Theocracy was cut off, the empire would really be isolated and helpless, and the alliance plan mentioned earlier would be nonsense.
.
Huh? Wait a minute... Didn't she already know about the alliance's plan for Ainz Ooal Gown and Elizabeth? She was an alliance on the surface, but secretly she wanted to unite other countries to establish an anti-Ainz Ooal Gown alliance.
Didn’t they already know the plan?
Could it be! Why am I so stupid? If I had known that when the Theocracy contacted me and wanted to meet, I should have rejected them directly! Now I have played into their hands!
But if you refuse... it will also cause direct dissatisfaction from the Theocracy, and it may even directly attack the Empire.
At that time, as long as the Sorcerer Kingdom had trouble using the Allies, it would send its own army to the Empire to launch a counterattack against the Theocracy in the name of the Imperial Army...The result would be the same!
So what is the purpose of this female devil insisting on maintaining the line between the Empire and the Theocracy? That day she promised herself that as long as the Empire was willing to obey, she would not do anything to the Empire.
But the key point is... Although I did not initiate this meeting, I nodded in agreement and arranged it so carefully. This behavior of mine does not look like something that should be done by "being obedient"!
"The Priest is wise..." Elizabeth respectfully saluted the Sacred Priest and flattered him.
"Where...if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed these details. It seems that the higher authorities made the right decision to send you here, Clementine." The canon priest replied.
Gilniff looked at it for a while, wondering, isn't this wrong? Is this the insidious Elizabeth? In his own impression, Elizabeth has never flattered anyone, regardless of her appearance or personality...
"Even if His Majesty did not betray us, you did help an immortal monster like Ainz Ooal Gown become the king. There is no doubt about this." The Church Vulcan Chief on the side said.
"..." Gilniv was completely speechless about this sentence. It was indeed true... It was indeed his own death and belief in Fulda's words that led to the evil Sorcerous Kingdom being put on the ground. This was indeed his fault.
It's your responsibility, but who would have thought that Fulda would betray him!
At this point, it is useless to say anything. It is better to see how the church treats the empire. Originally, the church will not interfere in politics, but the church that hates the undead will definitely not let such a powerful undead and the empire go.
The worst-case scenario for those who join the alliance and sit idly by is that the church will simply withdraw from the empire.
You must know that the people's faith and spiritual salvation are in the hands of the church, and they also hold the medical system in their hands. Once they withdraw from the empire, it will only be a matter of time before problems arise within the empire without medical means.
Wasn't that what Elizabeth wanted to do when she came here with the two undead monsters? No matter how hard she fought, she still couldn't escape the fate of destruction. Thinking of this, Gilniv couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Under those circumstances, I think His Majesty the Emperor had no choice but to make such a choice, right? To be fair to you two priests, if your church was blocked by an intelligent and powerful monster, you would rise up directly.
Should we fight to the last person? Or should we choose to coerce a wave to preserve our strength first, and then unite our reinforcements internally and externally when the opportunity arises?" Elizabeth snorted and spoke for Gilniv again.
"Of course we will fight to the last man! Facing the undead monsters! The church will never back down!" the Vulcan Chief said with great indignation.
"Haha! It turns out that your church is so superficial... Then there is nothing to talk about. Let me ask you to go out. I have nothing to do with you anymore. Next, our Theocratic State and His Majesty will continue to discuss the future of our humanity.
Just save it!" Elizabeth laughed again, her tone full of disdain and ridicule.
"You! What do you mean! Why does an unknown person question the church's philosophy? Isn't your Theocracy the same?" The Vulcan Chief was immediately offended by Elizabeth's contemptuous tone.
"Please pay attention to your tone!" the Holy Canon Priest said a little unpleasantly. Upon hearing this, the Fire Priest... felt a little complacent and wanted to continue to speak out against the disrespectful Theocratic Priest in front of him. After all, the Church is very powerful.
Although the other party is a religiously unified and independent theocracy, it still needs to give the church some face in this regard!
"I'm talking about you! Priest of the Church of Fire! Please pay attention to your words and attitude! If you dare to disrespect the black holy scriptures of the Theocracy again, I will protest to the higher-ups of your church!"
The Holy Scripture Priest said.
"You! You guys!!" The Fire God Chief was immediately speechless. He didn't expect that the Holy Code Priest of The Theocracy would not give him any face, right? Although he believed in a unified system, it was still slightly different. The Theocracy's beliefs
There are six gods, and the church only believes in four of them. The God of Life and the God of Death are excluded by the Church.
