Valken came out to look for the princess and saw Finnian was there too. The two sides seemed to be in a standoff.

He stepped forward quickly, "Your Highness, what happened?"

There was a note of caution in Valken's tone, and he stood in front of Cecilia's left side in a protective posture.

Finnian naturally knew the leader of the Royal Knights, but he didn't know his name.

He didn't have time to say hello at the Magician Conference two days ago, but it was more because Finnian had formed a habit of not caring about the royal family for a long time.

Now facing each other, Finnian had to bow his head first and said, "The leader of the Knights has misunderstood. The princess and I were just saying hello to each other."

"It seems that the church really doesn't take the royal family seriously, or maybe the bishop didn't teach you well, which led to you daring to disrespect His Highness."

silence.

Finnian did not develop these habits. The church and the royal family have always been independent. Even at its peak, the church's influence was more extensive than that of the royal family.

Finnian was told from birth that everyone was equal under the watchful eye of the sun goddess.

Before he could explain, Cecilia spoke up, "Valken, don't embarrass him. He has believed in the sun goddess since he was a child."

Although not everyone can recite the doctrines spread by the church, everyone definitely has some understanding of them.

This is extremely scary.

During the four hundred years, people's thoughts were controlled by the church for more than two hundred years.

Is this the inevitable path of human development?

"Are you here to spread the teachings?"

The one who asked this question was Cecilia.

Finnian shook his head, "I'm just staying here. My father hopes that I can go to the Buddha Gold Mine Road to spread the teachings."

Perhaps it was really the long-term belief that made Finnian exude a kind of divinity from time to time.

Cecilia felt that this divinity was more of an illusion.

She didn't think that the church's top leaders would really believe in what they spread, but rather used these things as a means to gain power.

Some time ago, although Morpheus weakened the real power of the church, the spread of doctrine was not prohibited.

The church just can no longer force everyone to believe in the sun goddess.

After learning that Finnian's destination was also the Golden Mine Road, Cecilia frowned slightly, "Are you going to Aslaide City too?"

The word "also" revealed that the princess' destination was also the city of Aslade.

Although Finnian had only been in contact with church believers or officials since he was a child, it did not mean that he was not good at socializing. In addition, his father repeatedly emphasized before he left that he must pay attention to everything.

"Would you like to travel with me on the rest of the journey, Your Highness?"

In the original novel, Finnian was only mentioned briefly near the end of the novel, saying that as the Pope's best assistant, he enabled the church to continue to thrive and develop.

According to the novel circle, this person might be positioned as cannon fodder?

But Cecilia didn't think so.

It was too much of a coincidence that the church appeared at this time.

Although it is logically possible to explain why Finnian went to the gold mine, how come Finnian's journey happened to collide with mine here?

This is not the modern era. In order to travel quickly, people either take national highways, expressways, or high-speed trains or airplanes. It is understandable that the probability of meeting each other is very high.

There are many paths in Anatolia, and the probability of meeting each other in this small village is really too low.

What's more, this guy was probably arranged to travel by his so-called father on the night the conference ended.

My group of people took turns to rush and arrived here in two days.

What reason did he have to hurry?

Go and meet up with Freya?

Is this some kind of backup plan arranged by Abeluna?

After thinking about this for only a moment, Cecilia nodded, "Okay, it's good to have someone to take care of you on the way."

Seeing that the princess did not refuse, Finnian immediately began to discuss with her the time and route of the next day's trip.

Cecilia pushed the matter to Valken, "He is responsible for these, you just need to hand it over."

The princess spoke with a hint of embarrassment and apology, which made Finnian feel a little strange.

In fact, all travel arrangements were decided by Cecilia.

Valken showed no signs of abnormality. He carefully repeated the arrangements that Her Royal Highness the Princess had made earlier.

After hearing this, Finnian said that the three of them could accept this arrangement.

Cecilia didn't feel anything, but Valken was unhappy. Who did this guy think he was traveling with? How could he not accept it?

But Cecilia didn't say anything, so Valken naturally couldn't say anything.

Finnian said he would negotiate with the village chief to see if he could find a place to stay here.

Cecilia made a "go ahead" gesture and the five people separated.

Watching Finnian and the other two walk away, Valken said, "Your Highness should be careful with this guy."

"It's better to keep it under our noses than for him to attack us out of nowhere."

Seeing that Her Royal Highness was still on guard, Valken felt relieved.

After so long, the system still hasn't returned to its previous state of analyzing everything, and it still looks like a database.

Fortunately, Cecilia is not completely incapable of relying on herself.

The next day, Finnian was ready earlier than Cecilia.

Of course, it is also possible that there are only three Finnians.

Along the way, Cecilia and Valken were both on guard against what Finnian might do in their own ways.

But Finnian didn't do anything along the way.

Cecilia did not relax, as she didn't know what Finnian might do in Aslade City.

But when they really arrived in the city of Aslade, Finnian proposed to continue working with Cecilia.

At this time, Cecilia had to choose to talk openly, "I need a reason to act together."

As far as Cecilia knew, the two groups of people actually had almost the same goal.

Finnian wanted to re-establish the Church's influence in Anatolia by quelling the riots in the Gold Mine Road.

And I also need to make some achievements here and win back my reputation from Freya.

Theoretically, their cooperation could indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But Finnian shouldn't have known my purpose, and I didn't reveal it along the way.

And judging from the fact that Finnian and herself met in that small town, Petra should not reveal any news.

But he made a request to "act together".

Finnian was confused for a moment when he heard Cecilia's question. "I think our actions have been quite coordinated these days."

Cecilia couldn't believe this easily. She just took a step back and said, "Let's do our own thing. You can contact me if you need anything. Of course, if I need anything, I hope you can provide some help."
