Why do you feel a bit gloating? Xavier rubbed his eyebrows. But after all, she was an illegitimate daughter, a girl with half blood. If something really happened to Leatherman, it would really be considered ironclad.
This is the biggest scandal in the Zhi family in a century.
"Your Highness, do you know him?" Although Candelon seemed rough, there was something subtle in his roughness, and he noticed the fleeting look in Xavier's eyes.
"Two years older than me at St. North, he was the top figure in the swordsmanship class." Xavier still vaguely remembered that tall and burly boy, with Hanover's typical silver-white hair and brown eyes, representing the blood of the most noble duke.
.
At St. Norther's College, one graduates one year after becoming an adult, and Leatherman, who is two years older than him, is now 21 years old. Compared with his 19-year-old self, who is still four months away from adulthood, he should have just graduated and taken over the job.
A large ducal family.
The death of his old family leader forced him to finish his studies in a hurry, and as the eldest son, Leatherman had already grasped the power before he was even ready.
No wonder he is a little at a loss now, and "Dan Gui", who has his own thoughts, will naturally have different ideas from the elders.
The elders naturally hope to develop steadily step by step and then completely control the snow realm. In this way, among the three great dukes, only the Rose Family in the northwest can compete with Iron Branch.
Although the Southern Territory is huge and has the largest trading city of Mondiaca, how can the Thorn Family, which has just entered the semi-steam era, be the opponent of Iron Branch!
"Leseman, is there someone behind him? Or maybe what he wants to do is completely different from what the elders thought. A mistake may even cause the destruction of the family, but success will also bring endless glory." Xavier pondered for a long time,
Then he spoke slowly.
"So he was willing to take a gamble. This plan required huge funds, so [Bone Branch] restricted his power to call on the family Jinlong. He hoped to suppress him, but he encountered greater resistance from the latter."
Xavier continued to talk about his conjecture, completely missing Candelon's wide eyes and shocked expression.
"So the elders planned to marry Aiike, who was still studying in St. Nother, and hoped to dispel the young family head's forbidden thoughts. But they didn't expect that this would become a fuse between the two factions?"
"The person who can change the current Hanover family in an instant..." Suddenly a light flashed in Xavier's eyes, and he was also shocked by his bold idea. If it is really that person, then it means that the current Dan Feng Boluo is in the
An invisible giant vortex center!
All people in the whirlpool can only choose one camp, and if they are not forced to leave, then Qiangwei will definitely stand on the cusp of the storm and even become a victim of the whirlpool!
Xavier had already heard about the chaos within the Holy Church and the coup of Telos. At the same time, he would never believe that Augustine would be taken away from the position of archbishop. Then he heard that Augustine died in the Prison of the Dead.
Although it was top secret, Alex still sent the cipher text out.
Augustine is a real old fox. At least in Xavier's memory, even a cheap dad would have a hard time getting some benefits from that man.
And he also has the intuition of a hunter. The most terrifying thing is that he is extremely confident in his intuition, and his intuition has never deceived him. Such a cunning and treacherous old man would be assassinated and die in such an ordinary way, Xavier
I will never believe it.
And in all this, they ignored one person.
A young man, Mantonlon VII of Santinoa. He had experienced the baptism of the embers of the abyss and was a descendant of the Ember Age. How could a man who survived those ten years and finally ascended to power be a puppet of the Holy Religion?
?
In fact, in a sense, Xavier can also be regarded as a descendant of Ember, and this is the name given to the noble children born between 4395 and 4405.
In these ten years, the plague, the scorched land left after the war, too many descendants of the nobles died of illness and starvation, and the number of civilians who died was even more numerous.
The Holy Religion says that this is the goddess's sin against the Abyss Age. In the Broken Age, people have lost their faith, and the abyssal embers are the final punishment that the world must accept.
And Louis Anlosel Mantonlon was born in that era, and he was still stuck in the first year. He really lived through that decade, surviving oppression, conspiracy, disease, assassination and natural disasters.
.
He was not the eldest son of His Majesty the Sixth, but the fourth son. The three elder brothers and the following four younger brothers all died in that era, and he was the only survivor. He was weak and vulnerable, and his body was even sicker and he had to drink alcohol every day.
Magic potion can support it.
He is the most perfect puppet candidate for the Holy Religion for hundreds of years. Unlike his powerful and great sixth father, after all, the Holy Religion almost fell apart under the strategy of Manton Long VI.
Xavier didn't know exactly what kind of person Louis was, but he knew that during those years in St. North, the elder Louis Mantonlon and Leatherman Hanover were very close.
Leatherman is a boy with great ambitions, which can be seen from his contacts at several banquets that year. He has won over many noble children, and he has a good relationship with Xavier himself, and the two have similar powers.
Same insight.
And Augustine's "disappearance" in a sense led to the emptiness within the Holy Church. Augustine's secret could not be fully known by the Holy Church. So this time was just the opportunity for Louis to make a comeback!
But what he wants to fight against is the greatest Holy Religion of Nosi, the Holy Religion founded by the goddess named Nosi thousands of years ago. What exactly should he do and what method he will use? It is difficult for Xavier to guess the opponent's intentions.
idea.
If the revival of the Mantonlon royal family succeeds, the Hanover family, which was the first to support Louis, will become the largest family in the true sense. By then, what this surname represents will be the greatest glory in a hundred years!
Therefore, it is very wise for the Rose family to withdraw from the central part of the country. Without Riche's Rose family, Xavier must make a choice if he is still in Denia.
The disguise will be revealed at that moment.
At that time, both the Holy Cult and the Mantonlon royal family would give priority to competing for the rose. There were too many secrets in the rose. Legend has it that there was the [Scepter of Destiny] left by Yago, and the [Jade of Rose] left by Longsa.
】, it is said that one represents supreme power, and the other is a treasure that is incomparable to the country.
But that is just a legend. Xavier, the head of the family, has never seen it, but even so, neither the Holy Church nor the royal family will believe it.
Xavier suddenly woke up, startling both Candelon and Arthur.
He suddenly opened the door to the study, and several maids waiting at the end of the stairs were frightened by the heavy banging on the door. In their memories, this was the first time Xavier had lost his temper like this.
"Naples!" the young lord yelled, as if he knew he would call him, and the old butler walked up the white stone stairs.
He still had that smile on his face and his eyes were clear.
"Naples, tell me, who was it that decided to send me to Denia?"
The old housekeeper sighed and said quietly: "Young master, do you really want to hear it?"
Xavier clenched his fists, several names already appearing in his mind.
"Archbishop Augustine of the Holy Church and Master Albert of the Silver Council, oh, it has now been renamed the Cross Council."
