"Wait, this should be a secret, is it okay to just say it. The Alpine Fort Lord interrupted him suddenly.

"It used to be the highest level secret of the royal family, and only me, Your Majesty, and a few secret guards knew about it, and those who leaked it must die. The goblin, half-in a wheelchair, paused, as if trying to find some trepidation on the faces of the two listeners.

However, his bad taste was doomed to fail in the end, so he had to continue: "But now that the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess has run away, there is no need to continue to keep it secret, it doesn't matter if you tell you." ”

"Okay, go ahead. Richard sank into the soft velvet back of his chair, his eyes fixed on the faint candle flame as if it were coming from, but his ears refused to let go of every note he caught.

"I suspect that the Church of the Ice Goddess is in possession of the Deep Blue Well, for the following reasons—" Zara cocked two dry fingers, "First, the truly good stuff is never nameless like mud. As the oldest and most powerful forces in this land, the Church of the Ice Goddess and the Royal House of Pompeii will not be able to leave the royal family and the Church unaware unless the Deep Blue Well is completely destroyed or buried underground and does not see the light of day. Now that the royal family has no clue, it is likely that it is in the hands of the church. ”

"This speculation is too reluctant to hold water. "Richard was very calm, and his thoughts were not completely led by the other party.

There are so many possibilities for the disappearance of an object, and sometimes the truth can even be so bizarre that it is shocking. It would be too far-fetched to conclude that the clues are in the hands of the Church just because the royal family could not find them.

What's more, the "Deep Blue Magic Well" itself is the result of a few deductions, and no one has ever seen the real thing. In the eyes of the lord, there is a question mark over whether it exists or not.

"Be patient, the focus should be on the second point. Sauron said.

"Second, for nearly a thousand years, every pastor of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church has had a divine cultivation close to the level of a magister, which is very abnormal. ”

"Maybe it's because they're so religious. ”

"Piety, funny!" said Zara waved his hand vigorously, the disdain on his face overflowing, "If you compete with piety, no one can beat those foolish men and women in the slums, they are the ones who really dedicate all their bodies and minds to the gods, why haven't they mastered divine arts? As a way of using the elements, divine magic is not fundamentally different from magic, and it is also a skill that requires talent and diligence to improve!"

This sentence is not ordinary sensitive, if it is put on the surface, a blasphemy charge is appropriate, don't think about it and can't run away.

But among the three people present, Richard naturally did not need to say that he lacked awe congenitally, and Sauron, as an orthodox mage, did not believe in any gods at all.

No matter how many faiths the churches can absorb, at least at this moment, there is no one in this room who believes that their past and future will be determined by a heavenly being.

So after listening, they just exchanged glances, and continued to listen intently without any burden, which was a secret about the situation on the entire continent.

Pulling up an index finger, "If you look at it from a long enough period of time, the promotion and training of the clergy should also conform to certain mathematical laws. I have carefully counted all the historical data of the clergy of the Ice Goddess Church and the Holy Light Church in the last three hundred years. ”

"I found that even the Holy Light Church, which is several times larger, has gone through difficult times in its history, and there are several popes whose level is extremely low. But for the Ice and Snow Goddess Church, it seems that there is no such problem at all, every patriarch has a magister-level attainment in the Ice and Snow Divine Technique, which is not normal at all!"

"Remember what I just said about odd numbers, this is an odd number. Lesser's eyes seemed to be glowing, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Under the odds, there must be a deeper problem!"

"In that case...... Suspicious indeed. The lord nodded.

"So as early as twenty years ago, Your Majesty began to infiltrate the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess, trying to find traces of the existence of the Deep Blue Magic Well...... Ahem...... "Zara suddenly covered her mouth and coughed violently, almost as if she was going to cough out her lungs as well.

He spread out his hand, a pure bright red, which stood out in the light of the candlelight.

"Your Excellency, you must rest immediately. The waiter, who had been huddled in the corner and had no sense of existence, ran out in a panic and tried to push the wheelchair away.

The weakened goblin, with a violent temper that did not match his appearance at all, reached out and grabbed the waiter by the collar, his face was as hideous as a demon, and a word burst out of his throat - "Get out!"

Even if he knew that he couldn't even surrender a chicken, but in front of that almost tragic spirit, the waiter was obviously shocked, and subconsciously said, "But your body doesn't allow ......"

"I said, get out of here!"

"Your Majesty said ......"

"Your Majesty is not here!" said Zara's eyes stared straight at each other.

The waiter's face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he staggered back to his place.

"Ahem. Richard stood up and made a round, "I said dear Zara, if you don't rest first, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow." ”

The goblin lowered his head, his mouth as if talking to himself, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "The shadows are chasing me, and there is no time to waste. ”

Lord Sauron, look at me, I look at you, and no one understands what this means.

"Laugh, two. She closed her eyes and quickly regained her composure, "When the royal family secretly spied on the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess, although the church may not know why, it must have sensed this kind of spying. So in recent years, the relationship between the royal family and the church has become increasingly strained, and even the appearance of harmony has become difficult to maintain. ”

"So naturally, the royal family of Pompeii began to use the power of the Holy Light Church to suppress the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess. ”

"I see. Richard and Sauron both of them were stunned at the same time.

They had long known that the upper echelons of Pompeii were divided into two factions, the reformers who supported the Church of the Light and the conservatives who supported the Church of the Ice Goddess. They also knew for a long time that there was a rift in the relationship between the Church of the Ice Goddess and the royal family, and even in the national war between Pompeii and Stuart, the number of military priests was reduced. They already knew that there must be a reason behind all this.

But they never imagined that there was such a thrilling struggle hidden behind it!

"Now it seems that it is time for us to suppress the Church of the Ice and Snow with the help of the Church of the Holy Light. The Ice Priests were not idle, and began to make contact with Stuart. Shrugging her shoulders and pretending to be relaxed, "I don't know why, it's really surprising that Stuart would choose to support them so strongly." ”

"Anyway, this trend evolved into what it is today – the two countries exchanged religions with each other. ”
