Fort Castle is the last gathering point before heading deep into the Central Mountains, and in addition to the Knights and Night's Watch of the Holy See, there are also a large number of freelancers, wandering mercenaries, and dark merchants who venture to the Central Mountains. They delve deep into the Central Mountains, exploring secret realms and ruins, searching for lost tombs and treasures, collecting rare magical materials that have become extinct on the continent, and even venturing through rifts in time and space to explore those dangerous alien dimensions.

Although this place is ostensibly controlled by the Holy See, in fact, it is mixed and chaotic, because of the huge trade interests from the Central Mountain Range, even the Radiant Church cannot cover the sky here, and under the surface of the Radiant Order hides an incomparably chaotic dark undercurrent, even if one or two Holy See priests occasionally disappear, it is not a strange thing. After all, this place is close to the Dark Mountains, and it's not surprising that from time to time there are one or two vampires, werewolves, elves, orcs, and even demons from another dimension.

Of course, Mrs. Loris was willing to open up to the Reverend Giraud, and not just because he was a side branch of the Plantagenet. It is also because of the recent period of time, a little bit of distrust has gradually developed between the Plantagenet family and the Wave Trident family, two long-time ally families.

On the surface, the relationship between the two families is still very harmonious, and not long ago, a couple of newlyweds belonging to the vassals of the two families got married to consolidate their marital friendship, but the news that the "Queen of the Waves" of the Wave Trident family and the eldest lady of the Plantagenet family, "Proud Canary", fell out, but it was spread and everyone knew it.

Although this is just a personal conflict between the two eldest ladies, Mrs. Loriss is keenly aware that this is actually a microcosm of the conflict with traditional allies after the Wave Trident family expanded aggressively and entered various fields aggressively.

The friendship between nobles is never fixed, today's friends are not necessarily tomorrow's friends, and today's enemies are not necessarily tomorrow's enemies. Therefore, Mrs. Loris's hand can be slowed down and have more room to operate this kind of thing.

Of course, this is a small punishment for the two little people who caused the trouble, and for the Queen of Waves who is behind the scenes, Mrs. Loris also has to fight back a little.

"Carson, you're going to inform Knight Hanbanie!"

Lady Loris instructed her butler: "Let him go to the Special Court today to prosecute him, and I will arrange for Sir Brian to initiate a motion in the Silver Tide Council to strip Sir Stirling of the title, and he has Baron Grant and Sir Amherst as witnesses, and the Council will pass the ...... of the bill."

It's just that Carl, the protector of Lady Loris, was persecuted by the Queen of the Waves using the means within the rules, and this small contradiction is naturally not worth the head-on conflict between Lady Loris and the Queen of the Waves, let alone a direct collision between the two behemoths of the Mermaid Family and the Waves Trident Family.

But the struggle between nobles is like playing chess, you can move my chess pieces, and I can naturally move your chess pieces. Since the Queen of the Waves used the means within the rules to make a small pit a chess piece protected by Mrs. Loris, it is only natural that Mrs. Loriss should follow the same example and take down the chess pieces protected by the Queen of the Waves with a small push within the rules.

Originally, the struggle between Knight Hanbani and Sir Stirling was still a normal business competition, and neither Lady Loris nor Queen of the Waves could easily interfere. In the absence of backstage action from either side, both the court and the parliament will tend to uphold the decency of the aristocracy, and will not judge a decent person like Sir Stirling.

But now that Mrs. Loris has the Karl affair as an excuse, she can take down Sir Stirling openly, swallow his finances, cut out a financial path for the Wave Trident family, and win a small game.

Although Carl doesn't know the details, he can guess the information he heard. At the same time, the mood is more relaxed, and with the entanglement of interests, I am even less afraid that Mrs. Loriss will suddenly let go.

"Mr. Karl, you don't seem nervous at all?"

Loris, noticing Carl's relaxed expression, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's not an easy thing to be targeted by the church's night watch!"

"That's the power I believe in you, Madame!"

Karl smiled and said sincerely, "As long as you have your patronage, neither the Night's Watch nor the Wave Trident Family can hurt me!"

For Karl's sincere compliment, Mrs. Loris couldn't help but smile shallowly, and said with the same sincerity: "My favor is not omnipotent, for example, if Lord Artest, Archbishop Ludwig personally ordered, or if the Seven Seas Overlord of the Wave Trident family personally hunted you down, I might have to think about it!"

"Fortunately, this time it's just the personal thoughts of an Inquisitor, a Queen of Waves!"

Karl couldn't help but smile and said, "If it was really a magnate of the Inquisition and an archbishop of the diocese who personally ordered my arrest, I wouldn't dare to appear in front of you at all. ”

"Yes, it's also a good thing Carl you shot in a measured way, only seriously injured and didn't really kill the night watchmen and knights of the church!"

Lady Loriss nodded, appreciating Karl's cleverness and understanding: "Although the church has withdrawn from the secular realm under the pressure of all the nobles and knights, it is still very strong. Although you are the first to violate the unspoken rules of the church and the nobility this time, it is reasonable for you to fight back, but if you really kill the night watchman and knight of the church, it will still be very troublesome, at least the church will have the opportunity to intervene, even if I have protection, the church will not be able to judge you on the surface, but in private it will not give up the arrest of you!"

Karl nodded, indicating that he understood the proportions. Although it was a little uncomfortable, Carl was not a second-year teenager, and as a person who had been in society for a while, he naturally understood how many ways an organization as powerful as the church would use if it was determined to find trouble. If he really killed several of the Church's night watchmen and knights in the open, then even with the protection of Lady Loris, it would inevitably be an innocent person who would be killed by the battle in a certain round-up of heretics in the Church.

"Since there are no dead people in the church, it will be easy to do!"

Mrs. Loriss said lightly: "This time it is the Church's fault, I will protest to Bishop Filch and Archbishop Ludwig, the order established by the Holy Covenant cannot be broken, you will not have anything, and you will not have any responsibility!"

Speaking of this, Lady Loris smiled again and said elegantly: "However, in order to avoid some accidents, I still need you to be a guest here for a while. Perhaps, you can use this time to create another work worthy of praise?"
