"Standing here and being able to communicate with you like this is what I have always been aiming for. Because it's so far away, I've always just thought of it as a dream buried in my heart. But I never imagined that it would one day actually come to fruition. ”

“...... What does this mean? ”

"The greatest enemy that the Lord will face when he returns to the world this time is no different from that of 2,000 years ago."

Her expression was serious and serious.

"You need a senior who knows who he really is; I, on the other hand, would like to be the traitor to the Holy See who shows you the way. ”

This is said in a dignified manner, and with the beautiful face of the female knight full of heroic temperament and nobility, it looks awe-inspiring, and people even want to ignore her lines for a while, but they are not on the stage at all, and they are completely one, two, five, and five speaks.

“...... It's funny. Are you willing to be my pawn and destroy the entire Holy See? Why? What is your hatred for them, and your willingness to give up all your former glory and status? ”

The black-robed wizard laughed, seemingly interested in Joan's words.

But as soon as these words came out, Richard suddenly felt that something was not quite right. He seems to have really completely brought into the identity of "reincarnation of the Demon Emperor......

Although, for now, there is nothing wrong with that. After all, even if Richard wanted to deny it, Joan himself would not admit it; If it is a strong excuse, it will seem strange.

It's just that he obviously wanted to be honest with the other party, but it seems that he is weaving a new lie-

Qiong An was stunned for a moment, slightly basked, and shook her head.

"No, I don't intend to destroy the Holy See. It's not practical. ”

"Really?"

"Of course. I think even you, the Lord, have to admit the outcome of that war, right? Whatever intrigue used, the papal see's 'human supremacy' rule did replace Zalwan's 'rule of all kinds'. Two thousand years later, the ideas and cultural traditions of this behemoth have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Middle-earth—"

"I know better than most people in this world the influence of the Holy See, my lord, even if you have the ability to kill all the high-ranking members of the Holy See from beginning to end, I am afraid that you will not be able to eradicate this influence. Until you truly dominate the continent and reign over the world, too drastic actions will only invite unexpectedly fierce resistance. ”

“...... Are you asking me to admit defeat first? ”

Richard couldn't help but laugh.

This is really bold to say, aren't you afraid that the "reincarnation of the Demon Emperor" is the kind of self-respecting type, and I will slap you flat in anger?

Of course, he didn't care about such a thing, even if Joan was like a truly faithful and devout paladin, facing the miserable situation of being manipulated by the devil, he should only point at his nose and scold - Richard would not be angry.

Of course, if the other party really does that, a lesson cannot be avoided. But isn't this kind of thing the more ruthless the female knight herself scolds and resists, the more fun it is?

However, although Richard can't really slap the other party, nor can he directly order him to commit suicide for no reason, but there is an oath, as long as he has the heart, he has a hundred ways to let Joan die at the hands of others - the Holy See is huge, there are many enemies, and there are far more than a few dark wizards who dare to attack the high-level of the Holy See.

But looking at the other party's serious expression, there is even a bit of the outspoken loyal minister appearance that is popular in the narrative of the feudal dynasty......

It's just that this attitude of "thinking about the king" is not facing the Holy See to which she was loyal in the past, but the biggest enemy of the Holy See.

"Facts are facts, irrefutable, and time has passed, and it is even more important to see the situation clearly. The empire has fallen apart, and everything that belongs to you is now either long gone or forced to scatter in various places, and your former enemy, the Holy See, is still in full swing. ”

"But this does not mean that there is no chance of victory, as long as I am your servant, lurking in the upper echelons of the Holy See, and doing my best to serve the revival of the empire, I believe that the outcome of the game between the gods this time will be very different. The victory of the next era will be yours. ”

Qiong An lowered her head slightly and responded respectfully.

Richard was a little stunned.

I see. She was emphasizing the importance of her identity just now...... Including the previous several inquiries about himself, I am afraid that he is testing his attitude, and after confirming that he is not a tyrant who will kill innocents indiscriminately, he will use this kind of rhetoric to persuade himself.

It seems that the other party is a traitor who wants to be a papal see.

I have to say that in the eyes of adventurous people, it is definitely a good errand to be able to hug the thigh of an ancient god who has just recovered; What's more, even regardless of the identity of the "reincarnation of the ancient gods", there are many people who want to hug the thighs of legendary wizards.

But Joan is different, since she has climbed to the position of cardinal, as long as her mind is still clear, she should understand that it is the best choice to continue. Unless......

Unless, she's hit a wall.

Richard vaguely guessed the reason why the female knight, after being forced to sign an oath, could still be loyal to him without hesitation between turning her head.

Joan Borgia is not sober-minded, but too sober, right?

"So what are you going to do? Be honest with me in this situation, Miss Borgia, you must have asked for something from me, right? ”

"The Lord is really discerning......"

"You wait and think clearly before you answer."

Richard held up a finger at the other man.

"You see, even if I don't say anything, I can still give you orders. So, you have to give the reason why I'm going to agree to this condition. ”

Joan's calm expression didn't change in the slightest.

"Of course. There is only one wish in my heart: to kick His Majesty the Pope off the throne. ”

“...... You want to kill your father? ”

"No, it wasn't necessary to kill. Let him feel the feeling of falling from the pinnacle of power to the mortal dust, which may be a more appropriate punishment for this kind of person. As for the reason......."

The face of the female knight suddenly bloomed with a beautiful smile, as bright as the camellia blooming all over the mountains and fields in spring; Her tone was soft and submissive, even with a hint of seduction.

- "Face the Holy See, your empire's greatest enemy, even the Holy See that once defeated an entire demon legion, and in turn turn turn its leader into his own subordinates and servants, secretly playing with this group of people, and even the gods they believe in cannot save ...... Don't you think it's interesting? ”

......

For a moment, Richard did not answer.

The female knight did not continue to agitate, she restrained all the expressions on her face, and lowered her head seemingly calmly, patiently waiting for the other party's response.

It was a moment before the black-robed wizard spoke.

"You just said that the divine blood belonging to the 'Demon Emperor' was stolen? What is the situation? ”

Joan blinked, and then, the corners of the female knight's rosy lips involuntarily curled slightly.
