After passing through the gate, there are portraits of the patriarchs of the Carter family since the establishment of the family.

Based on these portraits, everyone figured out some of the history of the Carter family, which was inseparable from what the data terminal said.

The Carter family was originally an earldom.

According to the terminal, when Empress Crotty ascended the throne, he and the major southern territories raised troops to denounce Empress Crotty. Empress Crotty originally planned to raze these little guys, but when the orcs came to the west, the army of the Crotty Empire was busy with defensive battles in the west, and had no time to take care of these small territories in the south.

Later, the territory of the petty fighting grew stronger and stronger, and the United Kingdom of the South was actually formed.

The Carter Kingdom is a very "senior" old country in the United Kingdom of the South, and King Carter VII also has a position of senator in the House of Representatives of the United Kingdom of the South.

Follow the red carpet all the way.

Passed through another gate.

What appeared in front of me was an indoor fountain, surrounded by white statues of different shapes, with animal carvings and human carvings.

"Wow!" Ling Ning looked at the big fountain in front of her, "The fountain was actually built inside the castle." ”

The chief knight smiled and explained in a very proud tone: "This is the Fountain Conference Center, and at the end of each year, the representative people of the city can be summoned to come to the Fountain Convention Center to talk to the king face to face, so that the general public can make their voices heard. ”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Lemon shook her fist, "You're definitely at the forefront of this world. ”

After the knight chief heard Ningning's words, his waist straightened up more and more.

He also had a good impression of these guests in his heart.

Turning his head to look at Shi Haoren, "Lord Sir, the master is waiting for you in the prayer room west of the Fountain Conference Center." ”

Shi Haoren thanked him and looked to the west.

It was a very small stone house, and there was always something nondescript about it standing in this fountain square.

Prayer room?

Even if the United Kingdom of the South has a strong opinion of the Holy See and is out of the control of the Holy See, the faith can never end.

The more high-level people and the more technologically advanced the civilization, the easier it is to have faith in their hearts.

At the end of science, religion is the end.

Even if the three major god systems already claim to be gods and have mastered super powers that other civilizations cannot control, the top leaders of the three major god systems still have their own beliefs.

At the very least, faith will exist until the study of where the singularity came from before the cosmic explosion.

The chief knight made a gesture of please.

Shi Haoren asked the tenants to wait in place, and pushed open the door of the prayer room by himself.

After entering the prayer room, Shi Haoren closed the door.

It was pitch black all around, and he was facing a thick black cloth.

A voice came from behind Houbu, a little hoarse, "The knight chief is actually my man, I don't know what the purpose of your coming here is." ”

It's Catherine!

Shi Haoren was taken aback, and he found that a pale red energy film had risen around him.

The data terminal hurriedly unfurled the ghost shield.

"Are you here to help the cats?" Catherine continued.

"Nope." Shi Haoren directly denied it, "I said that we are here to establish a witch sanctuary. ”

Catherine's voice was dull and full of blame, "But how do you explain that you had contact with a cat?" Also, the chief knight told me that the cat said that you were her relative, and that the chief knight should take you to the study where you had afternoon tea. ”

"Your Royal Highness." Shi Haoren paused, "I don't think there's any need for me to explain to you why I know cats." It's none of my business if you have any grudges with the cats, and these friends of mine and I have only one purpose, which is to establish a witch sanctuary in Carter's kingdom. It doesn't matter if it's you or a cat who is helping us connect with Carter VII. You have your love and hatred, and I have my mission. ”

"You're using strong words!" Catherine instantly became angry when she heard Shi Haoren's words of evasion.

The pale red energy film around it instantly turned scarlet, with a strong smell of blood.

Catherine's tone trembled, "I don't want to kill, but don't force me, our blood clan has the means to study blood and souls, I can kill you, and force your soul to be asked." ”

"The legendary mercenary Catherine, will she not even dare to kill anyone?" Shi Haoren smiled faintly, directly pierced the scarlet energy circle with his hand, and directly tore open the thick black cloth curtain.

The computer turned on a light that illuminated the prayer room as if it were daylight.

The blinding light instantly caused Catherine, who was a Bloodborn, to curl up, "Shut this damn thing!" ”

Shi Haoren stood up, took a step forward, and picked up Catherine, who was shrunk on the ground, "I don't know what kind of grudge you have with the cat, maybe it has something to do with Carter VII." It's your love and hate, I don't care, I said my purpose is to build a witch's shelter, and you've talked to Kasan before. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, the cat will help me build a witch sanctuary in the Carter Kingdom, and Carter VII has agreed to the cat's request. As for what you want to know about my relationship with cats, I can't tell you that. Shi Haoren placed her in the seat, and his tone softened slightly, "Actually, I probably know something about the cat and Carter VII, and I sympathize with your situation." I even think that the cat's methods are a little improper. ”

Catherine closed her eyes and shouted, "You know that her methods are not right, and you still want to be with her!" ”

"I'm not with her, am I with you?" Shi Haoren laughed lightly, "You and cats, I don't have much contact, but cats will definitely not harm me, and she won't dare to harm me." You just saw my strength, as a legendary mercenary, you were instantly broken by me, what kind of person do you think can beat me? ”

After a pause, he continued: "So, at this time, I have to think about which of you is more valuable and can help me more. Remember, it was I who chose you, not you who chose me. Cats are now closer to Carter VII, but what about you? A queen who has to run to a tavern and fight with mercenaries on the first day she comes home, can I trust you, can I join you? ”

Unexpectedly, this sentence stimulated the bat girl.

When Catherine heard this, she burst into tears.

"Actually...... I've struggled to fit in with being a queen. She wiped her tears, and suddenly knelt in front of Shi Haoren, "Please, please, let the cat go, don't break up me and Carter, please." ”

"I'm sorry, I sympathize with you, but I have to set up a witch sanctuary. I can't let the thousands of shivering witches hiding in the corner have no home because of your emotional factors. Shi Haoren shook his head, "Also, I don't like this kind of method, deliberately tricking me into the prayer room, trying to threaten me?" ”

"If you knew me in the past, you would know what happened to those who threatened me."

After Shi Haoren finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, "By the way, I don't know if the cat really likes Carter VII, if the two of them really love each other, how can I help you, if I help you and break them up, what is it?" ”

"This is a matter between you, I don't care."

"Please." Catherine kept begging Shi Haoren, "Let me do anything, and I will help you build a witch shelter." ”

"Then we'll talk about it when you build it." Shi Haoren smiled coldly, "I won't help the cat either, she and Carter VII are in love, it's their freedom." ”

Pushing open the door of the prayer room, Shi Haoren felt very uncomfortable.

Very uncomfortable.

But whose fault is it?

Cat, Catherine, or Carter VII?

Never talk about human nature, especially the part of human nature about love.

Everyone has their own selfishness.
