As Eric expected, after the cardinal preached the church's determination to fight corruption in front of people, he found Li Xiang again, sincerely expressed his gratitude to Li Xiang, and prepared a banquet for Li Xiang, hoping that Li Xiang would be able to appreciate his face at that time.

According to the rules prevailing among the aristocracy, it is generally the people who live in the local area to entertain outsiders, otherwise they simply do not understand the rules. But Li Xiang didn't care about that, and immediately readily agreed, and also said that he wanted to deepen his understanding with the church and eliminate misunderstandings.

In public, both sides were cordial and friendly, and then after watching the six priests hanged, they dispersed. In order to behave more normally, and at the same time to attract more opponents, Li Xiang deliberately brought Lorenzo with him. But he didn't stay in the nest and didn't come out, but what to do, so that people couldn't figure out whether he was scared or not.

There is another thing, that is, Li Xiang's Sword Saint Master has returned from out of town. This sword saint's name is Gorman, and he is the only sword saint in the Holy Empire, and the archmage Gilmer does not serve in the real power department, but is the vice president and vice president of the Holy Empire Demon Martial Arts Academy respectively, and has set up a sky for the Holy Empire. A few days ago, Gorman went out to visit friends, and he had been there for more than a year, so Li Xiangcai had never seen him. Now that he is back, as his disciple, of course, he has to come to the door to greet him. It's just that Li Xiang doesn't know what the result will be.

Gorman accepted Matthew as a disciple only because he was a prince of the empire, not because of his qualifications. But since Goman accepted this disciple, he also did his best to teach his skills. Matthew didn't disappoint him, he was only eighteen years old and reached level four, and if there were no accidents, there was no problem in reaching level seven before the age of forty. As a prince who doesn't have to go to war, that's already remarkable.

But now that Li Xiang has replaced Matthew, and he has greatly offended the church, I wonder if this sword saint will support him? The church hides masters, and others don't know about it, so how can Gorman not know? There are few people at his level, and they can faintly feel each other, and it is impossible to completely hide them, so he knows the strength of the church very well. Will he offend the behemoth of the church for the sake of Li Xiang?

Gorman had a mansion next to the royal palace, which had been given to him by the king, and was built in great luxury and comfort, but Gorman rarely lived there, and spent most of his time in the academy. When Li Xiang saw him, he was in the small courtyard of the academy. And the one who opened the door to Li Xiang was Matthew's senior brother, one of Gorman's many disciples, named Charles. When he saw Li Xiang, his face sank, but he didn't say anything, just let him in.

From Matthew's memory, I know that this Charles used to be very affectionate to Matthew, but now he is starting to show his face, obviously knowing that Li Xiang has offended the church. For this kind of villain who is high and low, Li Xiang didn't bother to bother with him, and walked straight in.

When he saw Gorman, the first thing he saw was not Li Xiang, but Lorenzo behind him. Both of them are ninth-level sword saints, and they have a sense of each other before they meet, and now that they meet, even if they are not enemies, they will naturally have a heart of comparison.

The two of them confronted each other, and an invisible force field immediately formed around them, making everyone in the middle of it feel Alexander. Several of Goman's disciples couldn't stand the pressure and retreated some distance one after another. And Li Xiang, who was between the two, didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he retreated.

The two of them stood motionless for a long time, and everyone else looked inexplicable, but Li Xiang understood that the two had already used their momentum to fight hundreds of moves, and ordinary people would not be able to find it if they were not in it, or they were both ninth-level masters, but Li Xiang had the ability to see it even if he was a bystander.

After competing for hundreds of moves, the two found that they couldn't help each other in a short time, so they both laughed and were tied. Gorman then asked Lorenzo to take a seat, but Lorenzo asked Li Xiang to sit first. This made Gorman a little surprised, in front of the Sword Master, the prince is a fart, why is Lorenzo so respectful to Li Xiang?

Li Xiang didn't care so much, and sat down on Gorman's left-hand side, and Lorenzo sat down next to him. Gorman glared at him and said, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a year, and your skills have grown a lot!" Even such a master is enough to surrender to you, and you really deserve to be the first in line to the throne of the Holy Empire. ”

Li Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Master is too complimentary, in fact, Mr. Lorenzo came to help me, not because of my outstanding ability, but because I am an enemy of the church, so he stood up to help me." Master, I wonder what you think about my offense against the church? ”

Gorman snorted coldly, "What else can I see? Can I still make a public statement at this time and break away from your master-apprentice relationship? In that case, I'm going to be ashamed? How will you see those old friends in the future? ”

Li Xiang smiled and said, "So, is the master willing to help me?" That's great, and with your help, I'm even more sure. ”

Gorman said angrily: "It's just a big point? I'm so worthless? You know, Gilmer and I are one, and my attitude is his. In addition, I still have some old friends, if I am willing to be willing to ask them to help, at least I can invite two masters who are no less than level nine. There are four ninths, and together with Mr. Lorenzo, they can barely compete with the church. Do the math, how big is that? ”

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Master, in fact, you just don't help me, and it is impossible to allow anyone to make a big move in the imperial capital, as long as you and Gilmer Archmage are still maintaining the peace of the imperial capital, if you don't help me, you will help me." So, if you make it clear that you're willing to help me, you'll only have a better chance of winning. As for the other ninth-level you can find, of course it's good to be able to find it, and it's nothing if you can't find it, I'm sure that the church won't dare to make a big move and send a master to forcibly kill me. In that case, the disturbance will be too great, and it will not be good for them to fool the people in the future. But if I only use assassination and the like, it is enough for me to have a Mr. Lorenzo by my side, and it is useless to have more people. If you can't do it, they won't be opponents by other means, and I'm ninety percent sure that I'll kill them. ”

Gorman shook his head helplessly and said, "You kid, I haven't come back yet, and you've already begun to calculate me." But if you can calculate so much, it means that what you are doing is not impulsive, it is by no means spread by the outside world, but you are angry at the tragic situation of those ravaged women. Now I just want to tell you that even if I want to help you, I won't help much. For me, it is more important to guarantee the continuity of this country. If your presence threatens the security of the Empire, perhaps I am your enemy. ”

Li Xiang shook his head helplessly and said, "You mean, don't completely anger the church, right?" Then you will be disappointed, my goal is to overthrow the church completely, or make them an institution under the king, not the emperor above the king. ”

Gorman was taken aback and said, "Are you sure you really want to do this?" The church has existed for thousands of years, and the depth of its heritage is beyond your imagination! ”

Li Xiang said: "Don't worry, they have a deep heritage, and I have a lot of trump cards, so it will depend on who has more and bigger hole cards." ”

Gorman glanced at Lorenzo and nodded inwardly. No one knew who Lorenzo was before, but now he quietly appeared beside Li Xiang. There is such a precedent, if Li Xiang said that he had other hole cards, Gorman naturally couldn't believe it.

Since Li Xiang said it so surely, Gorman didn't have anything to say, just said: "Okay, since you know it in your heart, I won't say anything." I can't help you much, so you can do it yourself. ”

Li Xiang knew that he was going to send off a guest, so he didn't stay long, so he got up and said goodbye. Of course, Gorman didn't have to send him, but he still sent his disciples to send him off. Coincidentally, the person who sent Li Xiang was the Charles who opened the door for him, and when he sent Li Xiang to the door, he couldn't help but say: "Your Royal Highness, I only thought that you happened to be born in the royal family to have that kind of scenery, but now I know that you really have some courage." But your courage is in the wrong place, and when you die, I will go to your grave and bring you flowers. What flowers do you like? Lily or Jasmine? ”

Li Xiang chuckled and shook his head, "Do you think you are very wise?" Actually, you are a complete fool in the eyes of others, you know? You are so hostile to me, whether I win or lose in the future, you will not have a good reputation. If you don't just say a few words, but you get involved, it's not just a matter of reputation, it's dead! ”

Charles was stunned by him and didn't know what to say. Li Xiang shook his head again, how could Teacher Gorman accept such an apprentice? It's a clown.

After coming out of Gorman, Li Xiang did not go home, but went to class leisurely. Coincidentally, this class was a joint class with the Department of Magic, and the students on both sides fought against each other and became familiar with each other's tactics. And the class in the Department of Magic is Alice's class.

This class was on the playground, with the sword master class on the east side and the magic class on the west side. Most of the students in the sword master class are boys, and even if there are a few girls, most of them are hot-tempered and not very feminine. On the other hand, there are more girls in the magic class, and because they stay in the room all year round to meditate, do magic experiments or something, all the skin is very white, and the girls who are usually looking good will also look beautiful. This made the students in the sword master class excited, and the magic class also peeked at this side and whispered here.

On the side of the sword master class, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Li Xiang. Matthew's skin is already very good, and coupled with his special status, it is the goal of all ambitious women. When it was time to fight, they used their own means to leave an impression on Li Xiang.

Matthew had seen a lot of these women, and he had long been impatient. Li Xiang was even more unaware, he didn't bother to sweep them out of the corners of his eyes, and only stared at Alice. It wasn't until the teacher called Matthew's name that Li Xiang came on slowly. (To be continued.) )
