scepter

"Your Excellency Simon, I'm sorry to involve you in this troublesome matter."

In the room, the Fa Sheng who appeared soon and the silver-haired bishop sat down separately.

"Don't say that, Bishop Hill. Actually, I have always been worried about the status quo of the confrontation between mages and the Holy See. Although it has been relieved due to the invasion of the undead, but with all due respect, Your Majesty the Pope seems to think this is wrong, so once After the undead or monsters are defeated, priests and mages may have to return to their original relationship. And you are the most enlightened priests I have seen, not one of them," Simon chuckled, "you can win someone who has a good impression of mages Priest, I am very happy."

"In the end, I still want to thank you. If you hadn't appeared before, I'm afraid we would have been in even greater trouble." Yannick said, "But now there is something about the murderer who killed the princess, and I may need your help."

Simon: "Oh? So you know who the murderer is?"

Yannick: "Yes, from the moment I found out that the princess was dead, I already had doubts about the candidate, but I didn't figure out his motive at the time, and I didn't have any evidence, so I didn't say it."

Simon: "Who is that?"

Yannick: "Alexander."

Simon: "What do you mean?"

Yannick: "Do you still remember the priest standing with His Excellency the Prince?"

Simon: "Of course I remember, but I always thought he was your man."

Since Alexander pointed out that Yannick and Chris had an affair, the Fasheng hadn't come yet, so he didn't know that Yannick had betrayed him.

Yannick smiled wryly: "Originally it was, but now it's not. I once suspected that he was the Pope's eyeliner and was ordered to monitor me, but some things couldn't be explained. Later, I thought about it and thought that he might be a monster. "

Simon was surprised, his expression became serious, and he sat up straight: "You mean, a monster?"

"Yes, monster." Yannick replaced Alexander with a note he reminded Dantonio, and then said: "Only monsters can explain this matter, and killing the princess is also good for them. As long as we instigate a war between the two countries and let human beings kill each other, when the army of monsters invades the Olympian Continent, it will take less effort."

"Wait, you said that the army of monsters invaded Olin Continent, what's going on?" Simon keenly grasped the core of his words.

"Ah, this is a warning, or rather, a threat, that the Elven Queen received from a monster. The day when the two worlds will overlap is coming. The day and the moon will be covered, and all the gods will fall. What awaits you will be eternal. Endless death and slavery."

Simon didn't have time to ask Yannick, as a priest, why he hooked up with the Elf Queen again. His mind was completely attracted by that sentence. After a long time, he nodded solemnly: "It seems that the matter has indeed reached a serious point. The point, well, let’s turn the topic back first. You think Alexander is a monster, so do you have any way to prove it? You must know that His Majesty Alfonso VIII may not admit it if you can’t prove it in front of everyone. .”

"Yes, but I need time." Yannick said: "My magic bag is still kept with you, isn't it?"

"I've always kept it in a very safe place." The old man gave him a rare playful wink, and then took out... Yannick's magic bag from the magic bag on his body.

The silver-haired bishop took the magic bag, touched it, and took out a beautiful small bottle: "It contains the water from Zhenzhen Pond."

As expected of the Saint of Law, Simon quickly realized: "The True Pond in the Elven Territory?"

Yannick said: "Yes, the elves told me that as long as people who are malicious to the elves wash their hands in the water of the pool of sincerity, their hands will turn black. The elves' territory has been invaded by monsters before, although It has no way to directly make the monsters appear, but Chris once said that if you want to make a potion that makes the monsters appear, the water in the sincerity pool is a key material."

Simon said: "Did monsters also invade by possessing in the elves' territory, so how do the elves distinguish between monsters and real elves?"

Yannick said: "In fact, I once asked Her Majesty the Queen about this question. She said that the remnants of the rebel elves were assembled at that time, and the water in the pool of sincerity could not be directly identified. The Queen had no choice but to come up with an extreme solution. For the safety of other elves, she ordered to kill the rebel remnants of elves, which forced the monster to show its original shape. But our situation is different. With the wisdom of the monster, we must know that we dare not kill him now, kill him, Instead, he admitted that he was trying to silence him, so he could only start from the direction of the medicine."

"It seems that it can only be like this." Simon sighed, and took the bottle from Yannick's hand. "The worst thing is that I am not proficient in potion making. In the Four Laws, the one who is proficient in potion making is Anastasia, but I don't know where she is now. Even if I find her, the research and making of potions will be difficult." needs time."

"No, there is another ready-made candidate." Yannick finally smiled, "You can go to Chris, I mean His Excellency Prince Felton, he is a genius in making magic potions, if he works together, I believe the potion will come out soon."

"Prince Felton?" Simon was surprised. "Is he also a mage? But I've never heard of his name."

Yannick spread his hands: "You know, some people don't like to register with the Magic Guild, and they don't like others to know their identities. I think we'll wait for Chris to tell you the details."

"Okay." Although the old man is old, he accepts new things very quickly. He thought for a while and showed a meaningful gossip smile: "It seems that it is true that you have a good relationship with the prince."

Yannick: "..."

This kind of wretched expression is not suitable to appear on the face of a Dharma saint, okay?

In fact, Yannick's life under house arrest was not as sad as he imagined. On the contrary, as long as he relaxes, he will live a very comfortable life. Even if he wants to read some books, the servants outside will bring them to him at any time. He asked France Saint-Simon for help I sent a message to Bart and the others so that they don't have to worry.

But in fact, Simon told him that Bart and the others did not listen to him. They are now running around for Yannick, Avery and others. Knowing that this is fruitless, this kind of thing is no longer in the hands of Archbishop Lahe.

As for Priest Darwin, Bart specifically asked His Excellency Simon to tell him that Priest Darwin disappeared one night, perhaps seeing the situation was not good, and sneaked back to the Holy See. All in all, no one saw him again.

Everything seems to be expected, the Holy See has not responded, as if they do not know what happened in the Charlemagne Empire, because Alfonso VIII hates dealing with the Pope, it is impossible for Alfonso VIII to take the initiative to write a letter to explain this matter, So the Holy See was happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and no one knew what the Pope was thinking.

However, before the potion was prepared, Yannick got a shocking news.

The emperor of the Garter Empire, Francis II, died of a sudden illness.

When he heard the news, Yannick didn't recover for a long time.

As far as he knows, Francis II is only in his early fifties this year, and he has always been in good health. He has no way of knowing whether he is really ill, after such a long distance, but what makes people more concerned is the death of His Majesty the Emperor. situation.

What is certain is that the heir of Francis II, the godson of Yannick, is still a baby under one year old.

How can a baby run a country?

Will there be dissatisfaction in the country?

Will the House of Elders take the opportunity to monopolize power and break the balance?

What about Alfonso VIII, such a good opportunity, wouldn't he take advantage of it?

Almost impatient to confirm Yannick's premonition, just two days later, Alfonso VIII made a shocking decision, the Charlemagne Empire decided to declare war on the Garter Empire.

The reason is that the other party's prince killed his most beloved daughter and provoked the relationship between the two countries.

Everyone knows that this is just an excuse. Even though Chris is the most suspect now, Alfonso VIII has accepted Yannick's suggestion before. Before the murderer is actually found out, he will not easily convict anyone. Now Alfonso Suo VIII obviously saw the death of the Emperor of the Garter Empire, and the empire was in chaos for a while, so he planned to take this opportunity to take down the Garter Empire and realize his long-standing dream of unifying the mainland.

But even though he knew it was an excuse, the reason Alfonso VIII used was still high-sounding. Just after the Garter Empire lost its emperor, it received news that the strongest empire in the mainland had declared war on it. The academy is divided into several factions, the ones who are the main ones, those who are the main ones, those who are the ones who are the main ones, and those who are the ones who are the main surrenders. The army is leaderless and at a loss as to what to do, and a part of the army has to be stationed at the border to prevent the undead from invading again. The current dilemma.

When he heard the news, Yannick even thought, could it be that Alfonso VIII had planned the death of Princess Orthea in advance? The emperor, the most beloved daughter died, and he did not let her die in vain, but started a war through her. The innocent and pure princess knows her soul, how would she feel?

Not only that, on the one hand, Alfonso VIII declared war on the Garter Empire, but on the other hand he promised other countries, including the Duchy of Mecklen and the Duchy of Cornwall, which bordered the Garter Empire, and expressed his willingness to share the fruits of victory with them. To defeat the Garter Empire would divide the land into three, and everyone would have a share. Of course, since the Charlemagne Empire sent the most troops and contributed the most, it was only natural that they should take a large share.

No one objected to this proposal. The Grand Dukes of the two duchies were very happy to get so much territory and resources for no reason. Who would refuse this kind of benefit?

In this way, the Charlemagne Empire tied the other two countries to the chariot, and the common interests prompted the Principality of Mecklen and the Principality of Cornwall, even if they did not work hard, they would not hold back the Charlemagne Empire.

Simon does not approve of this battle. In his opinion, the most important thing now is to deal with monsters, not humans themselves, but his words do not have much influence. Although Alfonso VIII has shown enough to him Respect, but will not give up your grand ambitions for the opinion of the mage.

In his opinion, the secular power should be the main force leading the mainland, and the rest, whether it is the Holy See or the Magic Guild, should just stay aside obediently as a decoration, and there is no need to intervene in secular affairs. If the two sides fight on their own, then he can benefit from it.

"Finally finished."

In the room where Chris was under house arrest, French Saint Simon said this while taking a long breath.

He has visited here frequently these days, which has attracted the attention of Alfonso VIII, but Simon explained to the outside world that he thinks that Chris has a talent for magic, so he discussed magic with him. Alfonso VIII didn't say anything because he was busy declaring war on the Garter Empire, so he didn't have time to pay attention to this side.

"Bishop Hill didn't say anything, Chris, you really have an amazing talent in making magic potions. As far as I know, Anastasisia may not be as good as you at your age!" Simon laughed. .

Chris didn't laugh, he was thinking about another thing: "How long has it been since Alfonso VIII declared war on the Garter, hasn't he started yet?"

Simon said: "No, it is said that the Garter Empire is trying every means to prevent the war. After all, the current situation is not good for them."

Chris was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I want to go back."

Simon was taken aback, then shook his head: "No, young man, I don't suggest you do this. Although it is a bit cruel to say this, I know that Garter is your motherland, and His Majesty Francis II is also your brother, but you go back now , it won’t be of any use at all, maybe it will be re-bound by people from your country and given to Alfonso VIII, and it will be even more embarrassing.”

Seeing that Chris did not speak, he comforted me like an elder: "I am surprised by your talent in magic potions. If you want to continue on this road, I am willing to write to Anastasia and recommend If you go to be her student and have the guidance of a Dharma sage, it will be of greater benefit to you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think I have to go back." Chris said, "Do you have my magic bag?"

"Yes," Simon couldn't persuade him, so he sighed and took out his magic bag. "Are you really going to stop thinking about it? Young man, impulse is the devil."

Chris pulled out his staff, but he didn't see any spells, and a flame burst out from the top of the staff.

Immediately afterwards, around the flames, a ball of water slowly emerged.

The water polo wraps the flame, and the flame burns vigorously in the water polo.

This is the simplest spell among water magic and fire magic, but it is not so easy to combine these two spells perfectly as they are now.

This can be seen from the reaction of His Excellency Fa Sheng's eyes.

"That's why I'm going back," Chris said.

"Double element of water and fire...a perfect spell..." Simon murmured, he forced his eyes away from the spell in front of him, looked at Chris, and then sighed: "The eyes of the world are ignorant, but you can Concentrate on studying your own magic despite these ignorant comments and rumors, and your future achievements will definitely be greater than mine. Go, child, and leave the rest to me."

"Thank you." Chris bowed to him sincerely. "Please take care of Yannick by the way."

"I see, although that cunning little guy doesn't need my care!" Simon smiled, "He also said that you are innocent, but he actually took the goddess of light to swear, I dare say, the Pope can't compare Fuck his thick skin!"
