Camille has always disagreed with Natasha and Lucien's move to test Salde's reaction, thinking that it was too urgent, and how could she wait for Natasha to have almost a group of loyal nobles to support before she could do this kind of thing that would anger the church if she was not careful, but basically Natasha would not object to the decision she made, and still tried her best to cover up the traces of the established relationship for them.

At this time, there was a slight strangeness on her serious and rigid face: "The Radiant Cathedral has sent a secret letter, reminding you to appease the nobles of the pro-Magic Council to have a limit, and not to go to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm too often, so as not to disappoint most of the pious and loyal nobles." ”

"That's all?" Natasha raised her right eyebrow, which was fine, but the problem was that it was too modest to see what Salde was thinking.

She also felt that Lucian's proposal was a bit risky, but she also knew that if she didn't cross the line a little, the situation around her would not be changed, and in the case of the Magic Council and the Church, all the nobles would choose to wait and see first, rather than blindly clinging to it. The current situation is like a pool of stagnant water, and if it is not allowed to move, it will be difficult to get the desired approach.

Camille still maintained a slightly strange expression: "Also, encourage you to rebel against Lucien Evans, no matter what method you use, whether it is temptation or warmth, as long as you can make Lucian Evans defect from the Magical Council, join the Inquisition, and become a high-ranking night watchman, that is the greatest credit, and the church will give you full support and reward." ”

A would-be Grand Arcanist, a genius magician who is seen as the future of the Council of Magic, if only he really had a relationship with a devout cultist. This kind of encouragement seems to be the kind of response that the church should have.

"It's a bit of a strange reaction. Natasha paced back and forth, not understanding what Salde meant, whether he really believed in his own piety, whether he could seduce Lucien with affection, or just find an excuse to cover it up.

"It's hard to guess the old fox's mind...... Natasha subconsciously raised her left hand and touched the communication earring, wanting to discuss it with Lucian, but she immediately realized that Lucien should have returned to Alinge, so she forcibly stopped it, so as not to expose the purpose of the temptation.

Long, powerful fingers slid down the earrings. I accidentally touched my earlobe. Natasha suddenly remembered Lucian's love for "it", and the corners of her mouth suddenly hooked up a smile, and her eyes softened.

Camille turned her head to look out the window, as if she couldn't bear to look directly at the happy expression. Wait until a few seconds later. Natasha came to her senses. She continued: "Salde's reaction was a bit problematic, but it made sense, but I wouldn't advise you to continue to be so probing. Play with caution to get out of the fire. This temptation must be cautious and cautious, and sometimes it is better to wait for change. ”

"Aunt Camille, I understand that the most important thing at the moment is to improve my strength and strive to control the Sword of Truth as soon as possible. Natasha didn't make a radical judgment because of the joy of the mood, and said calmly.

When Camille closed the palace gates, Natasha stood behind her desk, picked up her quill, took two deep breaths, and began to write:

"Protection, mercy, justice, mercy, valor......"

Words representing chivalry flowed from the pen, from the initial atmosphere and fluency to gradually obscure, as if torturing one's own heart, one's own beliefs, one's own path.

After a long time, Natasha's words became single, leaving only two words, "guardian and heroic", and the brushstrokes began to be clear, revealing an implicit firmness.

In this way, Natasha combed through the long-term experience, the confusion of this time, the light she saw after confirming her heart, and the ideas that Lucian had imperceptibly instilled, and slowly found the source of her chivalry and faith, which was the protection of her beloved, her family, her subjects, her enemies, her conspiracy, and the heroism of killing.

"Perhaps, this is the Lord of my heart. ”

Natasha put down her quill and looked at the protection and heroism all over the place, with a sense of transparency that the dust in her heart had been erased, and although the confusion and wandering of the past had not been completely eliminated, she believed that with the passage of time, she would be able to get out of this quagmire sooner or later.

At that time, it was the time for me to be promoted to the eighth level and pick up the sword of truth.

At that time, it will not be like now, and if you want to test Salde, you will have to open the Patronus Array in the core area of the Nexer Palace first, or be with Lucien, and use his "Ring of Congus" to cover it.

After moving her body, Natasha had the desire to fight that she had not seen for a long time recently, so she picked up the "Pale Justice", opened the gate of the palace, and went to the specially reinforced "Knight's Corridor", eager to vent her inner joy by using her physical strength.

............

In the residence of the Duke of Frenburg.

The conservative nobles who had been waiting for a long time finally saw Rex come in, and they all got up and asked, "Your Excellency, what is the attitude of the church to last night's incident?"

Rex sat on the sofa, his back straight, and frowned slightly: "Your Excellency St. Salde reminds Her Majesty the Queen not to go to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm too often, and there must be a limit to appease the nobles of the pro-Magic Council. ”

"Just a reminder?" said the gray-haired Count Baradei with great disappointment.

Rex flicked his crimson velvet coat: "He also encouraged Her Majesty the Queen to use various means to tempt Lucien to betray the Magic Council." ”

"Isn't this a sheep to be fed by a tiger?" said the Duke of York, angrily and angrily.

In his opinion, sooner or later, Lucien will become a Grand Arcanist, a legendary magician, and enter the Supreme Council of Magic, even if due to the long life of the magician, Douglas should still occupy the throne of the Speaker for many years, but it is better than defecting to join the Night's Watch.

This is not the time of the Dawn War when the mage is in danger, and he will not be unable to adapt to the current arcane system, and let Queen Natasha encourage him, he will only be tempted to fall by his "fallen angels", it is better to let them draw a line.

Do you have to wait until Her Majesty the Queen has been so enchanted that she will use radical means?

Duke Rex shook his head: "Lord Saint Sard is worried that adopting a radical approach in this situation will make Her Majesty the Queen rebel and favor the nobles of the pro-Magic Council even more. ”

The Duke of York was a black-haired knight in his thirties. Compared to those old men, he couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth anxiously: "Are we going to let the situation develop like this?" Her Majesty's tendency is almost clear, balanced but more inclined to the Magic Council, and many nobles on our side are not firm, they are used to following the royal power and their own lords, it can be expected that many nobles will gradually move closer to James, Russell, and Haisong, and the balance of strength will be reversed in the next year, and we must prepare early." ”

Duke Rex stared at Duke York: "What preparation?"

The Duke of York looked around the five dukes in the room. Three Marquises. The five earls said cryptically: "When His Majesty the King was summoned by the Lord's grace before, what did you do, Your Excellency Speaker, we will prepare." ”

His family is the family of Ketonia. That's why he dared to speak to Rex like that.

Rex's face changed: "York." I didn't do anything. It's just that you accepted the king's request to make Holm stronger, have you heard any rumors?"

Duke Sorenphine coughed. Interrupted the Duke of York's answer: "York, do you want to divide the kingdom? Do you want every nobleman in your realm to have bad intentions towards you? Order is the foundation of our aristocracy, otherwise we would have been divided and devoured by others, and too radical will only lead to destruction." ”

He raised his hand, stopped the other nobles from speaking, and continued: "I think the current situation is tolerable, although Her Majesty the Queen is likely to be more inclined to the Magical Council due to the presence of Her Excellency Hathaway and Lucien Evans, her other actions are clearly indicating that she will not abandon us, she needs balance, she needs stability in the kingdom, this is the situation I want to see, not the ruins of Holm. ”

"Anyone who tries to undermine the stability and unity of the kingdom is an enemy of House Sorenfinh. ”

He spoke bluntly, without the skill of conversation between nobles, but this was based on the fact that another epic knight of the kingdom was his father, and no one else could imitate it.

"This is my opinion, nothing to do I left first. After straightening out the black sheath, the Duke of Sorenfen got up and left, and the other two dukes, two marquises, and three counts immediately followed and took their leave.

The Duke of York watched Sorenfinh leave until he snorted: "Stable and united, he seems to have listened to the 'Voice of Mysteries' and the 'Truth of the World'." ”

This phrase with an apparently strange feeling began to spread from these two channels.

The Duke of Basatan gave the Duke of York a strange look, if you hadn't listened, how would you know where the phrase "Ludao" came from?

Then, he coughed lightly, "As far as I know, the Sorenfen family has privately opened an alchemy workshop with magicians, and has shared a large amount of income from magic crystal lamps, magic radios, and telegraphs, and they have a large and vast field in another dimension, and the promotion of alchemical substances such as gold and kela has allowed their family to accumulate a lot of wealth just by increasing food production. ”

The implication is that although most of the people in the Sorenfinn family are quite firm in their beliefs, this situation of "stability and unity" is something they "like to see".

The Duke of York spread his hands: "So, we have to prepare early." ”

The faces of Duke Rex and the others all became cloudy, and Count Baradei pondered and said, "Maybe we don't need to do it, some people have been unwilling to ......"

............

At night, strong winds blow through the streets of Rentat, dissipating the heat of the day.

Lucien, who has changed his appearance, and Averies, who looks like a little boy, walk down the street, preparing to go to the "Church of Redemption" in the civilian area east of the city.

"Wait a minute, use the Dream Forge to get me into Richard's dreams. Lucien said to Averies.

Although he himself knows this six-ring magic, under the legend, Afrith is one of the "authorities" in the field of illusion and dreams, and it is safer for him to take action.

Through the information, Lucien found that this Richard is a very popular cardinal in the diocese of Holm, he is a native of the Kingdom of Holm, grew up in the monastery of Rentat, and has not left here for more than a hundred years from a probationary priest to an eighth-level cardinal, and many of the middle and lower priests and bishops in the current diocese are taught and promoted by him, but because he is too gentle, his interpretation of the Holy Canon is different from that of the church, and he was kicked out of the inner circle of the diocese of Holm after that public sermon, which is very worthy of contact.

Originally, Lucien planned to have the Council send someone to test and lobby, and after roughly confirming his idea, he recommended it to Natasha for the most reckless observation, but the information shows that the Council sent many magicians and enlightened nobles to persuade them, but they all failed shamefully - the Magic Council is not a closed and conservative circle, and it is impossible to wait for Lucien's proposal to get in touch with those appeasements.

Therefore, Lucien decided to come to meet Richard in person to have a more complete understanding of his thoughts and concepts, and in the future, this kind of thing will be left to the trusted magicians within the Affairs Committee to operate, and the most important thing for him is still to improve his strength with peace of mind.

Afrith took the ice cream that Lucien had specially made, and licked it with his tongue stretched out: "No problem, you can do whatever you want in your dreams." ”

It's a crystal dragon that hates the heat.

Near the "Church of Redemption", Lucien and Afrith found a corner to hide, and let it cast spells remotely, and now the church is the time for evening prayers, and the complete magic defense array has not yet been opened.

............

After praying, Richard returned to his bedroom, and just walked out of the hall, he suddenly saw a young man in a black trench coat appear in front of him.

Squinting his eyes, Richard laughed, his white eyebrows twitching, "Dream?, who are you, trying to persuade me?"

Lucien thought for a moment and said, "I would like to discuss with you, Bishop, the issue of justification by faith. ”

Richard was stunned.

He was lobbied by many magicians and nobles, but they never discussed his teachings with him. (To be continued......)
