Chapter 647: Fierce Trade-off
Before the official audience with the Queen, Betita and Haiber still had responsibilities to do, so they entered the "Eagle Palace" with Moriarty.
In terms of shape, the "Eagle Palace" is divided into two symmetrical and ornate palaces, which together form the shape of a pair of giant wings.
Moriarty was placed on the left wing, while the eldest princess and prince shared the right wing.
Declining the attendant's service, Moriarty looked around the palace and sat down in front of a small fountain in the hall, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were asleep.
At the same time, Gauguin stood behind him.
Just to avoid suspicion, the serrated sword has been put away. But the bare-handed negative energy knight is still intimidating, and no maid or attendant dares to approach without permission.
At the same time, on the right flank of the "Eagle Palace", Betita and Haiber did not stop. Instead, he went out through the small door on one side and rushed directly to the "Sanssouci Palace".
"Your Majesty!"
Coming to Sanssouci Palace, Queen Griffin is already waiting. In front of the stairs stood the Minister of State, the Minister of War, and other important ministers, and the lady-in-waiting, Mrs. Rochester, still habitually stood behind the Queen.
At the moment of state affairs, the family affection has retreated, and the two envoys can only meet the queen first in accordance with the rules of the court.
"Thank you for your hard work, back and forth for more than a month, everything is still going well?"
The queen nodded, let her two children get up, and asked gently.
"Yes, Your Majesty, all the best."
Although they are both envoys, Betita is a high-ranking person and answers on his behalf.
"Well, our guests have already entered the 'Eagle Palace', are they still satisfied?"
Queen Griffin looked at Cisse on the other side.
"Yes, Viscount Reinhardt has entered the 'Eagle Palace'. But according to Baroness Sophie, His Excellency the Viscount did not ask for anything, did not even need to freshen up and bathe, but sat in front of the small fountain. Immovable for a long time. ”
The news in the palace was transmitted very quickly, and the head of the inner court immediately replied.
"In front of the little fountain?"
Hearing this, the queen was inexplicably stunned, and then looked at Mrs. Rochester
The latter nodded slightly.
"It is worthy of being a great arcanist who has killed super demons and saint-level ascetics, and as soon as he sat down, he sat on the node of the 'Eagle Palace'. Such strength. It is indeed what we need to rely on. ”
Turning around, Queen Griffin suddenly sighed softly.
"'Washimiya'? Node? ”
Although he has lived in the palace since he was a child, and only recently moved out to open his own mansion, neither Betita nor Heber has heard of any milestones.
"Back then, the first king built a palace and arranged a large array under his royal highnesses. The Koizumi in the 'Eagle Palace' is one of the nodes connecting the large array, and it is also a magical projection, which can glimpse the virtual reality of the characters in the hall... But for now, we can only do that. ”
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the queen briefly explained.
Although the palace array is mysterious, it is not a top secret. The person in front of him is either his own child or a minister, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it a little.
"Betta, what do you think Viscount Reinhardt is? Can it really be used by the Kingdom? ”
After a pause, Queen Griffin looked at the eldest princess again and got down to business.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Viscount is an extraordinary person, and he is not a minister who dares to speak out. However, he had a volume of "Clear Thief Policy", which was delivered to the minister on the way. It is hereby paid to His Majesty's Holy Judgment. ”
Looking at her mother, Betita suddenly took a light breath. Take out a book scroll and serve it.
It is the policy of "fostering purification and suppressing light."
In fact, Betita is not sure whether this strategy is good or bad, and how it will affect Erathia. But someone has actually been gradually promoted in his own territory and in Kent, and with a tough attitude. Once the royal capital denies it, there will inevitably be a serious conflict between the two.
""Clear the Thief Strategy"?"
Hearing this particular name, the queen frowned again. Then he took the scroll from the hand of the attendant and opened it to look at it.
The volume of Chinese characters is decent, and it is slightly more than an ordinary administrative statement, which should have been read in a moment with the Queen's eye.
But more than ten minutes passed, and I saw that Queen Griffin was still reading through the book back and forth with a scroll in her hand. I still can't take my eyes off it.
Seeing this, the Minister of State and the Minister of War at the head of the country could not help but look at each other with suspicion.
In another moment, the queen put down the scroll with a solemn face.
He then handed down the scroll and handed it over to the Minister of State and the Minister of War for circulation.
"Your Majesty, what the hell does Viscount Reinhardt want to do!? Dare to come up with such a paradoxical text, does he plan to make himself a god!? ”
After reading it, the state minister was full of anger and scolded in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency the Minister of State is right. Viscount Reinhardt was delusional about setting up some kind of 'purifying church'. Regardless of their original intentions, they are already suspected of rebellion. ”
In the same vein, both important ministers were adamant and resolute in their opposition to the ideas in the book.
"Yes." Queen Griffin nodded, and then looked at the two children: "What do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is indeed inappropriate to establish a new church in order to suppress the Light Thief Sect. The minister did not agree with it either. However, on the other hand, the 'armor protection' mentioned in the article can effectively inhibit the infiltration and erosion of the thief sect, and it is a good law, which should not be abandoned. ”
After pondering for a moment, Haiber said first.
It seems that he has already thought about how the court will speak today, and his opinion is fair and impartial.
"'Baojia' is indeed sharp. With it, even if there are no new churches, it can deal a heavy blow to the expansion of the thief religion. Even if the war is calmed down in the future, it will be a good law that will ensure the smooth rule of the kingdom. ”
On this point, both the queen and several important ministers had the same opinion and couldn't help nodding.
"Your Majesty, the ministers also feel that it is inappropriate to establish a new church. But in Kent, Viscount Reinhardt has actually begun to try to do so. And as far as the minister knew, the Count of Salk also acquiesced in this. Therefore, if we take a clear attitude and explicitly prohibit the purification of the church, I am afraid that there will be a great contradiction with it. ”
After a moment of silence, the eldest princess finally spoke.
"He's already started a new church in Kent!?"
Hearing this, the queen and the others were shocked.
"It's not really open, and there's no clear official statement of support. But among the general public, the idea of 'purifying and saving the world' is spreading rapidly. And by taking advantage of some small favors, it attracted some rural village husbands and peasant women to join. ”
Betita glanced at the queen and told her true story.
"It's been this far..."
Hearing this, the state minister, who was about to attack on the spot, was stunned for a moment, and the military minister on the side was also breathing heavily and depressed.
"Queen, it is very dangerous for this person to behave like this. lest there be great chaos in the future, whether it will be now..."
After a moment of silence, the Minister of War suddenly stepped forward and said.
"This..."
Looking at the Minister of War's hideous expression, Betita and Haiber were both shocked.
On the other side, Queen Griffin looked still, but her eyes were rolling, as if she was fiercely weighing something. (To be continued.) )
