Chapter 316: Let's talk to him
As soon as Eren left, Eros also changed into a new plain white robe and left the house in a carriage. The carriage led him around the square in front of the Temple of Light and all the way to the back door of the Temple. There Eros got out of the carriage and gave his name, and then someone immediately led him on, turned left and right, and entered a palace of splendid decoration, and in a study that was wider than the living room, he saw a middle-aged man in a red and white robe, wearing a jeweled crown, with grace and extraordinary bearing.
"See Your Majesty. ”
Seeing the middle-aged man, Eros hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted respectfully. And there is only one person who can be called His Majesty in Winston, and that is the Church Emperor S. Hepburn.
"You're welcome, Elos. ”
Dece Hepburn waved at Eroth, signaling for him to excuse himself and letting him sit down in a chair next to him. Being able to have a place next to Tex Hepburn is enough to show that Eros is extraordinary. In fact, Elos is indeed a businessman, but he is not an ordinary businessman, he is a member of the Hepburn family, and he is not that kind of agent, to be precise, he is a relative of the Hepburn family, his wife is the cousin of Des Hepburn, and his own family is also a nobleman with a long history, and he is very powerful in the southern countries, when the power of the Holy See expands in the southern countries, Dis Hepburn also used the power of the Hepburn family, and when the power of the southern countries was pacified, the two families formed an in-law, and the power of the Eros family has been in full swing since then, and it has become the second largest family after the Hepburn family in terms of trade, and Aylos is the leader of the young generation in the family, the first candidate for the future head of the family, so although Dis Hepburn is the Pope and has a very respected status, he still shows enough politeness to Aros.
"Is the head of the house okay?"
After both of them sat down, Des Hepburn asked first. Winston is the base camp of the Hepburn family, but the family's residence is not in Winston, so Des Hepburn asked.
"The old man is very good, I have come here on his orders to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and by the way to deal with the matter of Alan Kanter. ”
"Alan Kante is also coming to Winston? ”
Dees Hepburn asked in a faint tone, obviously he already knew about Allen, but he didn't know Allen's specific whereabouts, let alone that Allen had come under his nose.
"Yes. At the moment he was in the religious reception center. Our people kept an eye on him. ”
"Be careful, don't let him find out about our plans. ”
"Vanston is not Triumph City, he doesn't have enough magic materials on him this time, originally he also brought a few retinues with him, but the entourage went out of the city and couldn't come back, and now he is the only one left in the city, even if he finds out that he has been tricked, he is helpless. If the head of the house hadn't told me to bring him back alive this time, I would have done it a long time ago. ”
This man is a fugitive felony from the Holy See, and if caught, he should be punished with death. ”
Des Hepburn shook his head slightly, a little unimpressed by the decision of the head of the family. Although Alan Kante is indeed not simple, it is a bit of a fuss to use his own powerful pope as bait to lure him to the bait.
"Your Majesty has considered all these family masters that I said, so I didn't alarm anyone when I came over this time, but just ordered people to keep an eye on him secretly and don't let him run away. On the day of his birthday, when he was disrespectful to His Majesty as the heir to the Baker family, we would arrest him again, and everything would be fine, and no one would know that Alan had fallen into our hands. ”
"Is a magician worth all the trouble?"
"The head of the house thinks it's worth it. This Alan is proficient in all kinds of magic arrays, and alchemy alone can bring sky-high profits to the family in a year, and he is also very good at potions, and the drugs produced by the potion factory he controls have brought a great impact to the family's potion business. ”
Eros patiently explained.
"Back then, the Hepburn family's potion products were across the continent and were completely in a monopoly position, but I didn't expect to be defeated by a young magician now. If Uncle Gabriel is still around, he will probably be by your decision. ”
Speaking of the old man Hepburn, Des Hepburn couldn't help but sigh. He is the most aware of the whole story of Gabriel Hepburn's defection from the Holy See, ostensibly because of the undesirable love between Gabriel Hepburn and the Holy Woman, but the real reason is because of the conflict between Gabriel and the family. At that time, Gabriel had already made a series of important breakthroughs in the field of medicine, but his idea was to give his research results to the Holy See for free, so that he could use them to help wounded and sick civilians. But the Hepburn family wanted to keep the research results for themselves and add to their business empire. The family used various methods to convince Gabriel, but Gabriel was stubborn and refused to let go, which eventually led to a complete outbreak of conflict between the two sides. The family used the resources at their disposal to support the more ambitious Tis Hepburn to power, ousted Gabriel, and appropriated his research results for themselves, selling them for a high price in the market. However, what the Hepburn family didn't know was that after Gabriel left, he researched a series of drugs, which were much more effective than before, which was an important reason why they were suppressed by Allen's medicine, because the formula used by Allen was given by Gabriel Hepburn.
"Uncle Gabriel is so obsessed with curing the sick and saving people that he forgets that his status as a pope should be to heal the whole world, so it is inevitable that he will be replaced by His Majesty. ”
Eros is obviously also very aware of that period of history, and does not forget to pat the new pope by the way when commenting on the old pope.
"Don't talk about that. What is Alan Kanter's assassination plan and what do I need to do?"
With a wave of his hand, Des Hepburn stopped the conversation.
"Alan Kanter is a magician, of course, he uses a magic array, but his magic crystal has been manipulated by someone I have found someone, and it can't exert much power, Your Majesty don't worry. ”
"There's nothing to worry about. The man who wanted to assassinate me hadn't been born on this continent yet, and I just wanted to meet and talk to this powerful and mysterious young magician. ”
A smile appeared on Des Hepburn's face, and he suddenly felt that it would be a pity to give Alan to the family as a tool to make money, and this person should have a greater use.
