In the meeting room of the Marquis's Palace, the Marquis of Auston, the three Grand Masters of Leo, and even Professor Pericles were all gathered together, and Leo always felt uneasy after talking with Elijah yesterday, and gathered everyone together early in the morning

Since there were no servants, Leo put down his crossed legs, filled the teacup in front of him with his own hands, and carefully tested the temperature with his lips before looking at the crowd and asking

"Basically, that's the case, Elijah's reaction is a bit unusual, if you follow the Duke and Auston's usual account, the church's attitude of retreating makes me feel a little uneasy, if I have to be specific, well, it's like some beast before hunting, it's a very bad feeling......"

Rubbing his eyes dissatisfied, Auston stretched his waist exaggeratedly, and looked at Leo helplessly

"Damn, Leo, just because of your feelings, you have all shouted to us all on such a wonderful morning, every nobleman should get enough sleep so that he can better serve the empire and the people......"

"Come on, Your Excellency the Marquis, most of your energy is spent on a woman's belly!" After getting acquainted with each other, Keith, who spoke a lot more casually, laughed

Hearing this, Auston didn't care about the Keys stall

"Say whatever you want, dear Keith, I still insist that your lord, my friend, the honorable Lord Leo, should at this time walk romantically through their new manor with the beautiful Miss Elena, and then whisper love words, instead of being suspicious here."

If he could, did Leo really want to stretch out his middle finger to Auston at this time and go for a stroll through the manor early in the morning to talk about love? It's also romantic, if it's on Earth, Auston deserves to be a single dog for the rest of his life, and any woman who has been disturbed in her beauty sleep can instantly turn into a terrifying monster

Just when everyone was amusefully listening to Auston's rambling nonsense, Professor Pericles, who had been very quiet since he had been under Leo, suddenly stood up, thought about it and sat down again with some sneering, and then spoke to the curious crowd

"Well, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I think the concerns of adults are really reasonable, you should know, because I read alone for a long time, and loneliness makes me study more of the dialogue of the characters in the book, such as the ......"

"Okay Professor, everyone understands your erudition, if you find anything, just say it, I take your opinion very seriously, as long as ...... Well...... You don't elaborate on something that is unfamiliar to us......"

Leo interrupted the professor's words that were about to go off-topic, and looked with interest at the chief consultant in front of him, who was still a little embarrassed, but much more natural than before

"Oh yes, of course, my lord, if the conversation with Ilya that you repeated earlier didn't go too far, I think you made a mistake and the other party took advantage of your anger and disdain to make a language trap for you......"

"What?"

Leo slammed to his feet, spilling the tea on the table

Which sentence is it? Dear professor, you can say your opinion without any qualms, rest assured, I will never consider this to be disrespectful to me! ”

"As you wish, sir"

Professor Pericles subconsciously rubbed his hands and stood up, as if he had returned to the familiar podium, and spoke to everyone with a high spirit and confidence

"From all the conversations between you and Elijah before, I can be completely sure that Elijah himself or the entire church behind him, before you answer casually, they can't and can't be sure that the source of the dragon's tear gem comes from your hands, no matter what mystery the church knows about the gem, but its importance must be undoubted for the church, so, after getting an accurate answer from your mouth, Ilya will certainly not be aggressive to arouse your vigilance, because they have enough self-confidence, No matter what means are used afterwards, they have the confidence to take them from your hands! ”

"Damn, I see, I finally understand what is the reason for the uneasiness that has been haunting me"

Leo is not a stupid person, Pericles' hint was completely enough for him, because it was getting late, he didn't listen to Elija carefully because it was late, and he didn't listen to Elijah carefully because of the previous provocation from the other knight's leader, so that Leo just wanted to end the conversation quickly......

After Ilya was rejected by him, there was no big reaction and there was a reason, it was very simple that in this world now, except for the empire itself, if the church wants to get something, there are always various ways, slander and blame, buy and tempt the people around him, and so on

Or ...... If the conditions are ripe, you can even directly declare Leo a heretic, and it may not be impossible to have a [Crusades] against the Northern Territory in this world, religion has always been easy to provoke the people's fanaticism or madness......

Guilt is a possible thing anywhere, and the fact that the church now seems to be forbearing, but in fact has taken him into its pocket, makes Leo laugh angrily

"Very good, if you want everything from me, just see if you have such good teeth, you know, I'm not a lonely horseman......"

After whispering a few words to himself, Leo glanced at the professor gratefully, if he hadn't pierced this layer of window paper, he would probably have neglected the church and lost all opportunities

Tapping Pericles on the shoulder and motioning for him to sit down, Leo turned to Finn and ordered

"Dear Finn, I ask you to send a man to collect and investigate any information related to the Church, any requests for money or otherwise, and here you can be fully satisfied......"

Finn, who was rarely furrowed, and was about to grit his teeth to accept the order, but Auston, who had been pondering since listening to the professor's explanation, stopped Leo

"No, my friend, Finn is not fit for these things, forgive my bluntness, dear Finn, if you righteous knights do this, I am afraid it will only make things worse, and if the church is aware of our vigilance, it is more likely to produce unpredictable changes."

Smiling at Alston with a slight bow, Finn signaled that he didn't care

After walking back and forth a few steps, Leo also knew that he was a little impatient, indeed, according to the character of the punishment knight, it was really too difficult to do these things

"So what do you mean? Auston, we can't just sit here and do nothing, and watch the church covet my wealth, my territory and my people all the time in the shadows."

Scratching his hair irritably, Auston didn't have a good way, he was just worried that things would go worse before stopping Leo from messing around, as a nobleman, there was no suitable person in his social circle to do these things

"I want to ...... I'm sorry, if I say that, I'm afraid I know a ......," Professor Pericles whispered, holding his chin
