Although the capital of Pharos has suffered a devastating disaster and has "ceased to exist", in an ancient world, the flow of information is not so fast.

At least not at the bottom of the population.

As a result, the atmosphere in Hull Town remained calm for the next few days.

The hustle and bustle of the wharves, the busyness of merchants, and the constant flow of aristocratic guests from all over the world into the local entertainment venues, incidentally became a regular visitor to the local Gülen church to preach.

However, under this calm, the corresponding rumors have become more and more, and have even spread to the church.

……

"How can you say that there is no such a big place?"

"yes, it's said that at least half a million people live in Coverdale."

"But a lot of people are talking about it, and it doesn't look like fake news."

A nun was arguing in front of her two companions, but was startled when she suddenly noticed that the young priest in the corridor not far away was looking at them.

Then before she could think about whether to say hello or not, the other party spoke first.

"Ready to deliver a baby?"

"Yes, yes, Rose from Rotten Fish Street is about to give birth."

The nun hurriedly responded, because the priest's voice was still gentle, and she did not blame her for spreading the rumors, but she was much more relaxed.

"Then go quickly, don't make people wait."

The nuns nodded and hurried away.

Bernie looked at their backs and looked down at a newly arrived letter in his hand.

The letter was sent from the diocese and asked the church to do a good job of reassuring the local faithful.

At the same time, the letter also mentioned a little about the affairs of the royal capital of Pharos.

Contrary to the facts, however, the letter paints a different picture.

……

"The Dread Demon King has descended and destroyed Coverdale in one fell swoop, but fortunately, the Holy Spirit of Heaven has suppressed and sealed this Demon King......"

In the quiet room, Duke Grant, dressed in a knight's training uniform, looked at the contents of the letter in his hand, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

"Is it true that none of us saw what was going on with our own eyes?"

"What shall we do, father?"

A red-haired young man who looked like him next to the Duke asked in a low voice, with a sad residue on his face.

"What can be done? Follow His Majesty the Pope in his crusade against the evil deeds of the devil. ”

Duke Grant said slowly, "By the way, I will fight for the throne of King Pharos again." Isn't this a rare opportunity that the royal family is dead? ”

As he said this, his tone was flat, and he didn't seem to have any interest in it at all.

"But my brother died in Coverdale......"

"This can only blame him for his bad luck and not getting the blessing of the gods." Duke Grant replied with a blank face, "But I believe he has gone to our heavenly kingdom. ”

The red-haired young man didn't say anything.

The room was silent for a long time, until Duke Grant suddenly opened his mouth to change the subject, "There has been some movement in the Camboree family lately? ”

"Yes." The young man said, "The missing second son of the old Earl of Cambore has suddenly been found, and his youngest son, who has inherited the glory of House Cambore, has made a claim for succession. ”

"It's a big fate to be able to survive after being missing for so long."

The Duke commented, "I'll go to Hammer Island in a while, to meet an interesting priest there, and by the way, I'll visit the Cambore family, and you can prepare some information about this, maybe we need to use it." ”

The red-haired young man nodded.

The room then fell silent again.

Obviously, despite the deflection of the topic, they still couldn't escape the unpleasantness caused by the incident in the royal capital of Pharos at this time.

……

In a leisurely garden, the old man in a simple linen robe was also in a bad mood at this time.

But this is hard to detect on the surface.

Because he's soaking his feet.

The slightly folded tops of his feet were dipped in the glittering water, and a few thumb-sized merfolk were busy around his feet.

Washing, massaging, percussion, manicure......

They worked very hard, but they did not make the old man's expression show any pleasure, but always plain.

It's just that the news reported by the attendant next to him is really not a good thing.

"Some nobles with royal blood have already asked us to inherit the throne, but there are not many of them."

The attendant reported: "The consequences of the fall of the capital are too great, and they are obviously very afraid that even if they inherit the throne in the future, they will not be able to sit safely. ”

"What about the inside of the church?" The old man asked slowly.

"A lot of people are secretly walking around with each other, and they are interested in the large number of clergy vacancies in the Kingdom of Pharos, as well as the most important choice for archbishop."

The squire whispered, "At the same time, we have heard many voices dissatisfied with the Holy Spirit's strong hand this time, and many of them are even bishops of the Cardinals. ”

"It's not unexpected."

The old man nodded, then sighed again.

"With more than 500,000 people lost all of a sudden, how complicated should the relationship be...... My niece's youngest son was even in Coverdale at the time, and do you think she'll write to me next to complain? ”

"But the result is that the two demon kings have been successfully sealed, and I don't think this price is a big deal."

The squire responded, "Considering the death toll caused by each Demon King coming to us, I think this incident in Coverdale should even be described as a big victory. ”

"Logically so, it is."

The old man said meaningfully, "But if you had a relative who died in Coverdale, would you still think so?" ”

"Even if I die there, I won't complain."

The squire replied, "That should be an honor, not a disaster!" ”

"You are religious, Bernal, but there are fewer and fewer people like you in this world."

The old man laughed: "Especially among those nobles, after a long period of peace, they will always have a lot of unruly thoughts. ”

"I don't think it's a serious matter, Your Majesty." The young squire said.

"Sure, but it's a headache enough, especially in these eventful times."

As he spoke, the old man pulled his feet out of the basin, and the attendant squatted down to wipe his feet and put on his shoes.

During this period, he was still reporting some other news, but he did not get a response from the old man.

Therefore, he looked up strangely, and found that the other party was looking at a letter that appeared in his hand at some unknown time, and his face was not very good.

"Maybe my foot-washing servants should be replaced, Bernal."

Probably sensing his gaze, the old man suddenly said, "When I arrive in Pharos, you can help me consider some new options." ”

"What do you mean?"

The old man didn't speak, but handed over the letter.

The young servant named Bernal took it and looked at it, and the first thing that caught his eye was a line of words—

[A large number of sea tribes landed on the shores of Eagle Point south of Pharos without consent, and engaged in a brief confrontation with the locals]

……

The young squire frowned unconsciously when he saw this.

Just because there is another meaning to these words-

The Sea Clan has given up negotiations with humans and has begun to invade instead!
