Chapter 512: An Unexpected Visitor
"Don't you have anything to say?" Hathaway turned and looked at the two capable men.
Petro with a somewhat embarrassed face. Hughes looked at Keith. McKennello had an inquiring look in his eyes, and the latter looked calm and composed, which made the always wise Petro. Hughes hesitated a little and didn't know about Kees. McKennello could not convince Hathaway, he knew that Hathaway was very unhappy right now. You must know that Cordillera is now in a period of rapid development, and any unstable factors may affect the current hard-won situation of the Cordillera Leader, Hathaway sacrificed his personal cultivation time during this time, and went around, the purpose of which is to buy time for Cordillera as much as possible and avoid falling into war prematurely. And the current situation of the Cordillera collar is indeed unpleasant.
Looking at the two people, Hathaway sighed softly: "What? And let me ask you for advice? Petro, you are the Administrator of the entire Cordillera Territory, including the Gettysburg Fortress and all the internal affairs of the northern part of the province of Casseff, which are handled by you. If you don't feel that you can afford it, you can bring it up as soon as possible, and I can find someone to help you share the burden, but you can't use the busy government as an excuse to ignore the safety of the Cordillera. I don't think you don't understand this, but as things stand now, it seems like you've really forgotten. ”
Her tone was still as indifferent as ever, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with them, but everyone could hear the harshness in the lord's words, and her gaze turned to Guise again. McKennaro's face: "Your Excellency McKennarro, there is a security issue involved. You have more say than Petro, why is this happening under your management? There is no doubt about your and Petro's abilities, so I'm surprised, don't you two understand what's at stake? Why not stop this dynamic? ”
Hathaway was indeed very angry, she didn't even sleep well during this time, and she didn't even sleep well, just put on such a thing, on the surface, it didn't seem to be a big deal, but Hathaway knew that since the three green elf representatives were able to find the Gettysburg Fortress and wait for him, and wait for half a month, this was obviously to get Petro. Hughes and Kees. McKennello's support. Although Hathaway didn't know what the specifics were. But these two people clearly felt that they had a certain degree of confidence in convincing themselves.
Hathaway just wondered, what kind of considerations made the two of them so bold?
You know, the Cordillera collar seems to be calm right now. It's essentially an undercurrent surge. Once someone really notices here. Lift the veil, and perhaps pressure from all sides will crush the Cordillera into powder.
"Huh?"
Just as Hathaway looked at the two of them coldly, waiting for them to answer. A subtle wave of magic came into Hathaway's perception, Hathaway raised her head, with a look of understanding on her face, and sneered: "It seems that I really realized it, the guests have already arrived, why don't you invite in?" ”
Although this is not her mage tower, nor is it the lord's mansion, she still has a few magic guards outside the study, whether it is a thief, a mage, or a samurai, unless the other party can completely hide the energy fluctuations on her body...... Of course, Hathaway's ability to find out in advance is also related to the fact that the other party did not deliberately hide the magic fluctuations on his body.
After Hathaway's speech, Petro. Hughes and Kees. The look on McKennello's face changed from dazed to angry, and his body immediately turned in the direction of the door, and his hand grasped the hilt of his sword.
"Honorable Marquis, please forgive us for being uninvited, we have no ill intentions, and we believe that we have every reason to deal with the vicissitudes of the Titan world together."
A clear voice came from outside the door, not very loud, but the words were in the ear, and it sounded intimate, like spiritual magic...... But Hathaway knew that this was not mental magic, but a way of speaking that had been cultivated by some professional habit for a long time, which made her frightened and a little curious.
"Really? Facing the changing world of Titans? Oh, I would like to see who is so qualified to make such a bold statement, and dare to treat the church of nature as nothing? Hathaway calmed down at this point, staring at the door calmly.
Two figures suddenly appeared at the door, and the guards in the corridor didn't even see where the two figures came from, only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and the two figures had already stepped into the door of the study.
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Hathaway's mouth, and although she was amazed in her heart, there was nothing unusual on the surface...... After all, the strong are the strong, and they can perform such exquisite spatial magic in such a narrow and complex corridor, and it is difficult to even detect the fluctuations in the surrounding space, although it is only the primary use of spatial magic, far from the level of teleportation, but just this ingenious application method can hold a stable place in the magical world full of strong people.
The two people standing in front of Hathaway are very different figures, one is tall and burly, with a pair of thick eyebrows, with a little purple, on the square face, a pair of ringed eyes, and a little gold in the pupils, which makes people not forget each other at a glance, and it seems to be more like a samurai than a mage; The other man is a public face, one of those who can't be found when thrown into the crowd, looking at the past, but the wonderful thing is that if he is standing in front of your eyes, you will only notice him and not look at anyone else.
"Your Excellency Marquis, I'm Lang Jie. Wei Ning'an, this is my assistant Rakov. House. ”
The pressure of the burly man's gestures made Petro. Hughes and Kees. McKennello felt like he was going to suffocate, but when the man next to him spoke, the power was invisible.
Lang Jie. Wei Ning'an?
The shock in Hathaway's heart is hard to put into words, I see!
She has always wondered what exactly makes Petro. Hughes and Kees. McKennello went against her usual policy, because she absolutely believed in the loyalty of the two, but if it was this one...... Then it's no wonder that Ligis. McKennello can be persuaded by the other party to be willing to be a lobbyist pioneer for the other party.
It's no wonder that the Cordillera's intelligence system was ignorant of this sudden turn of events.
This is the most important role in the Natural Church after the Pope, and the General Affairs Sage of the Supreme Hall of the Natural Church. In terms of status, it is even more than half above the two cardinal archbishops.
It's just that under the light of the Pope, the glory of this holy man seems to be much dimmed, so much so that most of the time people see the Pope and the two cardinals who are in charge of specific affairs, but this does not mean that it is impossible to ignore him and the power he represents.
"O Saint of Weiningham, your visit to the Gettysburg Fortress and the splendor of the entire Cordillera Territory is a sign that the divine light of the Church of Nature has shone in every corner of the Cordillera Territory?"
As soon as her heart shook slightly, Hathaway collected the shock in her heart, and her thoughts raced and tried to figure out the meaning of it...... What does the arrival of these guys mean? Is the natural church divided? Or is he going to start something else?
A few thoughts raced through Hathaway's mind. But then she denied her ridiculous speculations. Because there is only one reason, this is a character who lurks in the shadows and comes to the forefront, and they dare to come out, which means that they are sure enough.
"Huh. Your Excellency the Marquis. You're really kidding. But now doesn't seem to be the time for jokes. ”
Lang Jie. Wei Ning'an's voice was flat. But the edge of the prosaic is not to be underestimated, next to Rakov. House is even more golden-eyed, shining with a terrifying power.
Hathaway estimated in her heart the possibility of the other party improvizing to kill her. But she immediately overturned the unreliable speculation...... The strength shown by the other party is indeed far superior to her, but if you really want to kill her, dispatch this one...... That would be too exalting for her.
"I didn't expect that Cordillera led a piece of wild land to be able to attract His Excellency the Sage, should I feel honored? Just use your strength against these two of my men, it is inevitable...... It's too honorable! Hathaway's heart finally calmed down completely, but there was no lack of sarcasm in her tone, and she didn't care about the big eyes of Lord House on the other side, who wanted to stare at the dead man.
Lang Jie. Wei Ning'an also discovered for the first time that it was no accident that the character in front of him could stand on this land, and it was not surprising that a great magician or even a mage was good, but such a thoughtful character as a collaborator really needed to study the skills of the partner...... Maybe he's not wrong this time.
"Your Excellency Marquis, I didn't expect you to be able to think of this so quickly, I really admire it. I have no ill will towards your two subordinates, and this is to detect your reactions and to avoid wasting your time needlessly. Under your leadership, the Cordillera has been committed to developing the economy so that the common people can live and work in peace, which is similar to our strategy, isn't it? That's why we chose to work with Lord Hathaway, and with all our hearts. ”
Lang Jie. Wei Ning'an put away his contempt, and the information obtained from various sources proved that this guy had a close connection with the goblin clan, but this did not prevent him from cooperating with the other party, on the contrary, the other party had the power of the goblin clan as a backing to be qualified to compete with the natural church.
"Work with me wholeheartedly?"
Hathaway asked rhetorically before she said, "I wonder why the Wei Ning'an Sage thinks we can cooperate?" ”
"Why not?"
Lang Jie. Wei Ning'an's eyes were like torches, "I think you already know the current situation very well, the rebels are not only encroaching on the territory of the Otiga Empire, but also destroying the normal social order of the Titan World, and in the end it is the vast number of innocent people who suffer."
The natural church has fallen into the degeneration of the original purpose of the mission, and is only concerned with ensuring its own rights...... It is the selfishness of those people that has turned the church of nature into a greedy body that knows only about corrupting pleasures, and such a church will sooner or later be rejected by the people.
As the saying goes, we want to break the cocoon and regenerate the power in such a slowly falling body, and we also hope to join hands with Lord Hathaway to break the old shackles, so that the people can regain hope, rebuild order, and live a better life. ”
Hum!
Hathaway sneered in her heart, saying it is justified and wonderful, without being driven by interests, who can really shake hands? The overthrow of the Natural Church was certainly expected, but it also had to be considered in the long run, and she didn't want to be a knife in someone else's hands...... Even if it's a butcher's knife, she has to hold it in her own hands.
"Wei Ning'an Sage, I don't think you don't know the half-goblin bloodline on my body? Even so, do you think there is still room for us to work together? Hathaway lifted the veil and went straight to the core.
This is a heart-wrenching question!
The natural church and the goblin line are definitely feuds, although the goblin line took the initiative to leave the Titan world, but this is not necessarily unrelated to the promotion of the natural church. Moreover, for a long time, people with goblin blood and elves have always been the targets of the suppression of the Church of Nature.
After a pause, it was clear that the other party was also weighing his words, and Hathaway was interested in seeing how the other party would answer the question.
"Lord Hathaway, if we don't mind at all, that's certainly not true, although I am very strange and puzzled why you from a noble background have the blood of the elf clan in you, but I can respect your personal privacy, and I don't think it will cause any harm to our cause, because what you have done has proved that your words and deeds are like-minded with us to some extent.
Perhaps you despise my claims in your heart, and you will think that everything in the Natural Church is a sanctimonious hypocrite on the inside. It's not surprising, even I'm going to admit it myself, but it's something that comes after those guys have misinterpreted and tarnished the true doctrine, and one day you'll see the true doctrine, and that's when you'll understand the fallacy of your original opinion. ”
Lang Jie. Wei Ning'an's tone was very earnest, and it was unwavering.
Seeing the disapproving look on Hathaway's face, Lang Jie. Wei Ning sighed with peace of mind, and then said: "Of course, I respect your opinion, but I firmly believe that the people will make the right choice in the end. Although it will take time to prove, I am willing to work for it and let the people test everything. Until then, I thought we could work together, at least for now we have a common enemy, and they're more powerful than we thought. ”
