"Lord Duke, you suddenly stood on the opposite side of the tower, you must have known that this would happen today, right?"

That being said, his tone was mocking. Anyone who saw Gain's face now would not have thought he knew beforehand.

The Duke looked over and smiled as well.

"Your Excellency doesn't need to use agitation. Indeed, I was kept in the dark. ”

"Oh? Your Excellency's allies are truly formidable figures, and even the Tower and the Council family work together in an open and transparent manner...... Hehe. ”

Gaine ignored the thorn in this sentence, in fact, he was also shocked by Mu Yan's hand, so far, he has not felt any strong magic fluctuations, and even Fang Cai's explosion was buried in advance...... He could smell that there was still the smell of the burning stems and leaves of the Red Fire Luo in the air, and it was accompanied by a certain sweet and greasy smell, which should be the materials on the demonic beast, and the two were mixed into energy-sensitive explosives, which exploded due to the flow of power.

As for why his perception had not been able to detect the camouflage of the float and the explosives hidden in the statue, it was beyond his comprehension. But on the whole, all of this is currently being operated by people from the royal family, and what Mu Yan is playing is just a behind-the-scenes booster, and it has not really appeared yet.

Even this kid wasn't going to show up in the first place?

There is no doubt that this is an extremely clever hand. Even if his status in the eyes of the Jialan people has risen more and more in the past six months, he is an outsider after all, once he intervenes in the open, he will inevitably sit on the argument of "bewitching the public and demagoguery", and even begin to wonder whether the royal family is coerced by a third party, and the parliamentary family will also be forced to get involved in the aristocratic camp to administer justice.

But in this situation, he can still continue to play the role of a bystander, even if the main priest of the tower asks for help......

Gain's eyes flickered, and he suspected that Mu Yan had even calculated his own reaction.

Not really......

The fat priest didn't seem to expect Gaine to be so ruthless, and his own transmission was lost in the sea. Seeing that the atmosphere was constantly fermenting, he couldn't help but ask for help again: "Lord Duke, you shouldn't be the kind of naïve young man who fights for the so-called 'inheritance of magic', right? ”

"Huh."

Damn it, hehe!

The priest was patient again, and he swore that his desire to survive had never been stronger than at this moment.

"Lord Duke, you fell to the Tower because of the power of the gods...... Is it because our lord has not performed miracles for too long? ”

"Let the Pope himself say to me, will it be more weighty?" Gain sneered, "Even if I still fall to the Tower at this time, do you want me to stand against the King with the Four Council Families in this situation?" Oh, ridiculous! Ever since the day His Majesty Paul IV was so angry that he froze my guts, I had a deep suspicion of what kind of allies I had been working with over the years. It only took two years for the faith of the Morningstar Empire to be broken and re-established, and you died without saying a word, and you covered your scars for fear of being seen...... Hehe, I'm afraid I can see the majesty of being a divine servant when I take out my anger with my allies. ”

Gain's words hit the nail on the head, and he said it with great pleasure, and it seemed that he had been holding a grudge for a long time. But hearing these words, the fat priest didn't panic, and it was best if the other party was willing to communicate. So he smiled and said, "As worthy of the Duke, he has seen it so thoroughly, indeed, the tower has not done well enough over the years, and was even punished by our lord not long ago...... In fact, His Majesty the Pope is now being punished in a fallen royal palace thousands of miles away...... As you have heard, we have sacrificed nearly 10,000 untouchables as a tribute, and our lord has sent down divine power, and in one day at most, the city of Fa Lan will be razed to the ground......"

"Lord Priest. Do you think I'm as easy to coax as those stupid Christians? Even they know fear after seeing the bright military heavy crossbow, you have the intention to deceive me, why don't you want to deceive them for a reason? ”

"Does the Duke think I'm joking?" The main priest suddenly became excited, "No, I am also a Jialan person, a citizen who speaks out in Jialan, I can't watch this city being razed to the ground!" Now only Your Excellency can save Jialan! If our lord's power does come to the city and see the tower destroyed by the foolish king and his precious son, then the city will undoubtedly be the target of our lord's anger! For the sake of the bigger picture, Lord Duke, you should protect the Tower and think in the long run, even if it's just a pretense, so that we don't get hanged in the filthy underground as a traitorous rebel. Even if it's just one day, you'll see the real answer......"

Even if it's just for one day, you can wait for the power of God to overwhelm all this.

He thought to himself.

Hearing this, Gaine frowned slightly, he looked to the west, and for a while he didn't know if what the main priest said was true or not.

However, according to Fello, it is indeed possible that those refugees were sent away by the teleportation array under Elemental Alley......

As a self-proclaimed smart man, Gain's old mistake of not doing things neatly is repeated, and he always likes to weigh and immerse himself in the fulfillment of weighing the pros and cons.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that there was not much harm in doing so, in short, he could put the people in the tower under house arrest first, in case the so-called "power of God" really came, and he would fight with the forces behind Mu Yan, he had both chips and strength in his hands, and he would not be helpless in any case.

No teasing or ridicule could be heard, and the corners of the priest's mouth were slightly hooked.

With his understanding of this duke, as long as there is a more meticulous approach than the current solution, the other party will seriously consider it.

This is his strength and his greatest weakness.

Now, he's taking the bait.

"Then, please ask the Duke to come forward to clean up the mess, take advantage of the situation to subdue me and wait, and leave everything to time, I think this is the best ending."

Gain's gaze swept over the impassioned three princes, as well as many dignified nobles. Their eyes were full of hesitation and fear.

"It's fine."

He stepped forward, and the momentum of the seven rings standing on the threshold of the legend was fully released, and the elements on the Square of Truth boiled at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the air was steaming, and they were lining up to greet the king.

With this step, his momentum alone faintly overshadowed the steel giant beast entrenched in front of the nobles, and he fought against it without falling behind.

"Lord Duke."

Philo frowned slightly.

Gain bowed to him.

"Your Highness Fellowo, there are some things I want to say in front of you, I don't know if it's an honor."

"Of course." Philo didn't dare to slack off.

"Praise be to you, Your Highness."

Gaine bowed slightly, and then said loudly: "You are very good, Your Highness Ferlow, you are better than we imagined. In time, you will become a wise king and lead the Jialans to a brighter future. However, you are taking it too aggressively. ”

He waved his hand at the nobles behind him.

"These people behind me, they are Jialan's past, Jialan's heritage, and they are also the soil that cultivates Jialan's future. Even your father, even if we don't agree with each other, wouldn't treat them so rudely and bluntly...... I understand your mentality, whether it's the Morning Star or Turing, every dynastic change is accompanied by bloodshed and conflict, and the shuffling of cards along the way. The new king is established, and the old man is gone, which is a virtuous circle, as well as competition and elimination...... However, this is Jialan, it is Falan City, it is the Magic Empire, we are a nobler and more advanced civilization, we should abandon this barbaric and backward behavior, and the hands of human beings should not be stained with the blood of our compatriots.

"Taking a step back, His Highness's accusation against the Tower has so far only been one-sided, and we need more conclusive evidence. If, as His Highness says, countless sages have been persecuted over the years, and the Tower has tried to erase our history, then it is true that their sins are unforgivable. But what if His Highness is wrong? What if this is someone else's conspiracy behind it, someone else's planting? His Highness was so hasty, did he just let them succeed in their plot?

"The Morning Star people have abandoned the Word of the Word, who has not sent down miracles for seven hundred years, and turned to the Ash Duke Garton, and the Turings are as stubborn as ever, I don't want to force the Jialan people to believe in the gods, but I think that you, as the future ruler, should think more carefully about the consequences of this matter, the change in the national power of the three kingdoms, instead of being so arbitrary and acting only with blood. At present, the people of the tower have lost four main priests because they are not calm, if they are guilty, this is not a small punishment, I hope His Highness will consider it carefully.

"These are the thoughts I, Jain Clark, have made from the perspective of the Jialan, from the perspective of the inheritor of the House of Council, I wonder what you think? His Highness Philo? ”

The Duke talked eloquently, and Mu Yan, who was standing in the crowd and watching the play, couldn't help but want to applaud him, and compared with Philo's incendiary words, the two made a judgment.

The young prince did not realize that it was difficult to impress the old nobles by talking about such ethereal things as "tradition, inheritance, and nature", and only their own interests would really move them, and it was Guy who firmly grasped this. His words were vague, but in fact he was making it clear: It is true that we can have no faith and not rely on the gods, but what will be the consequences of doing so, please think clearly about you, the future king. When we had the tower, the Morning Star people were weaker than us, and now the Morning Star people are hugging their thighs, and we have lost the tower, every gain and loss, the gap will inevitably be narrowed, or even surpassed, at that time, will the Jialan people still be as proud as they are today? We don't have to think about Jialan's safety when we are strong, but if Morningstar is stronger than Jialan, won't they cross the Blackthorn Forest to reclaim this land? That's what I have to think about as a ruler, and that's what I have to do as an elder.

After a few words, many nobles had already stood up straight, and there was a faint tendency to move closer to Gain. In the final analysis, Jialan is still a kingdom ruled by many nobles, and the king has no power and centralized power, and in the end he cannot escape the fate of being set aside. Whether this situation can be broken depends on Philo's performance tonight.

Fello let go of his fingers slightly, and then clenched the staff of truth in his hand, and the young man's eyes looked at Gain, and the two eyes collided in the air, this was the provocation of the leader of Jialan's generation to the previous generation, and the latter also gave him the respect he deserved.

In the case of Lawrence II, Gain's tone may be as strict as teaching his son, but in the face of Fello, or in the face of Mu Yan behind Fallo, Gaine showed the sincerity of negotiations.

After a moment of silence, Philo breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had prepared his words, and the young man spoke slowly:

"Lord Duke, you are right, Jialan is different from the other two countries, we are a magical empire, so even if we are kings, we must take into account the existence of mages, so we can't ignore the ...... of the 'Lord of the Elements'"

Gaine smiled noncommittally, but soon, the smile froze on his face.

"But have you ever thought that this goddess is the original sin of everything!"

Fello's words rang out like a thunderbolt over the Square of Truth.
