The church moved faster than most people think. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the morning of the newspaper's publication, as if they were going to hunt down criminals, squad after squad of soldiers searched one newsstand after another, centering on the city of Xuedi, and constantly spreading outward. Officials have also searched almost every house, and once the newspaper "Liberty Mage" is found, they will be approached by a special priest to "chat".

For a time, the political world was in turmoil. Many people closed their doors, saying that they were sick and had a premonition that something might happen.

However, because the ban was carried out early, the influence of the newspaper did not spread. Most people haven't read the newspaper yet, and the church has cut off the source. As a result, they had no way of knowing what was written in the newspaper.

As for some remote areas far from the city, because there were no garrisons nearby, the seizure operation was relatively slow, and it also allowed Benjamin's newspaper mages to evacuate safely.

"The soldiers had just arrived, and the newspapers we had hidden at the newsstand had been largely destroyed. ”

In Riley, Wallis came to Benjamin's room and reported.

Benjamin nodded.

He thought that the church was going to continue to shrink, but now it seems that they can't help it.

After the release of The Mage of Freedom, the Church will certainly take some steps to prevent public opinion from tilting against them again. For the current scene, Benjamin is already mentally prepared.

To be honest, the church reacted in a timely manner, but even so, so what? It's like throwing a pebble into a lake, and even if you try to get it out as fast as you can, the ripples will still ripple. This is something that no one can change.

For those who have already seen the paper, this move is undoubtedly proof of everything in the paper. The army nominally belonged to the Crown, not to the Church. But now, in order to maintain the Church, countless soldiers have been sent out, which is enough to prove that the Church controls the entire palace.

The church is still trying to control Freden's political circles, and this move is a huge blow to them.

"Do we have enough newspapers left?"

Thinking of this, Benjamin asked.

"Enough, we have tens of thousands of copies left, waiting to be used next!" Wallis replied with a smile.

Their demeanor was quite relaxed, and they didn't have the feeling that they couldn't react and were hurt after the other party's move. The Church sent soldiers to seize the newspapers, which was indeed a predictable thing.

"That's good. Benjamin nodded his head and said, "Pass the order." Tonight, get all the mages into action. Didn't the church want to destroy the newspapers? ”

It was anticipating that this moment was coming, otherwise, why would he print 60,000 copies?

Wallis replied, "I understand. ”

With that, Wallis nodded and left, and Benjamin took a deep breath. He turned his head to look out the window at the silent street, a sneer on his lips.

What the church has done, it has done. If they dare to kill the petitioning mages, they must be prepared - Benjamin will seize this handle and make a fuss about it.

Clearly, times are no longer the same. The church is still following the old path of their brainwashing, but unfortunately, even if they can brainwash again, they will not be able to control everyone. There are still people who think for themselves and make decisions that they think are right.

Church...... I haven't realized the horror of human words.

And just like that, as time passed, the day gradually passed. For most of Fredon, it wasn't a quiet day, and the general public was confused, wondering what was going on. And those officials at the top are cautious, for fear that they will be affected.

However, some officials who had read the newspapers and were aware of what was happening had gathered secretly in a small village outside the city of Sherdy.

"Mikel, you...... I thought you had taken refuge in the church, but I didn't expect you to be here. Your performance is so superb that even Bishop Victor has a lot of trust in you. ”

"It's over. Wouldn't it be the same with you, if I hadn't seen you at this assembly today, I would have thought you would have been Bishop Victor's right-hand man. ”

In the hidden room, several slick high-ranking officials gathered together and exchanged pleasantries about each other's situation.

Mikel couldn't help but sigh to himself.

Sure enough, in the end, all the ones who could come were some big slippery heads.

As soon as Bishop Victor appeared, they assumed a flattering posture and scrambled to fall. As a result, they are the same people who are now at this anti-church meeting.

As for those upright old fellows, they are naturally regarded as the primary target of the church, and now, the transfer of those who are transferred, and the refuge of refuge, there is no room for participation in this meeting.

"Lord Pace, are you sure that there are no eyes and ears of the church among those here today?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

When Mikel heard this, he also looked over with concern.

This is indeed a very important question, and if the bishop discovers that these few fellows who follow him every day turn out to be like a group of loyal ministers, secretly conspiring to bring him down, then they will also be doomed.

"Don't worry, all of you, I'm very cautious in your contact. Prime Minister Pest, who summoned this opportunity, touched his white beard and said, "Otherwise, there would not be only five of us today." ”

Mikel nodded, but said nothing more.

To be able to mix all the way to the position of prime minister, Lord Pace's carefulness, he is still very relieved.

In fact, he was able to participate in this assembly because the other party had been testing him for a long time, and finally, the prime minister knew about his secret relationship with Benjamin, so he believed that he was not a member of the church and asked him to come.

"Well, let's not talk nonsense. Prime Minister Pace sat down, glanced at the five people present, and said, "I have verified what was written in that newspaper, and the mages who were killed are all true. Others had seen them approaching the palace that day, and they were supposed to have been secretly killed by Bishop Victor. ”

Hearing this, several people were silent.

They didn't look surprised, and they had obviously verified this fact.

"I also know that you are all good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, but ...... The church doesn't give us room to see the wind and steer. The prime minister continued, "Now we are like a fish in water, just because they need us to help him suppress the opposition officials." Once Freden is completely controlled, there is no need for us to exist. ”

"That's what my lord said. Mikel sighed and nodded.

Although they do not have such a strong sense of honor and patriotism, if they continue like this, their interests will not be protected. The mansion in the city, the land in the hometown...... When they are no longer useful to the church, will they be able to continue to be free?

What is the situation of the nobles of the Hori Kingdom, they are not completely unheard.

That's why they choose to come here. Otherwise, with their character, how could they risk doing such a thing that only loyal ministers can usually do?

Not only Mikel, but several other officials also nodded yes.

"We can't afford to sit back and wait like this. I saw that the prime minister slapped the table and said solemnly, "Those old stubborns, we have quarreled with them all our lives, but now...... We have to do something about it, we can't let Bishop Victor continue to do whatever he wants. ”

The officials nodded their heads, seemingly mentally prepared.

"In that case, Mikel, you should know that Master Benjamin, right?" the Prime Minister suddenly turned his head to look at Mikel, "I heard the name from the Bishop, it seems to ...... This mage is their confidant, and he is also the person who issued the newspaper this time. ”

Mikel was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.

"Please be sure to contact him. The prime minister immediately said solemnly, "If you want to drive the church out, it is still difficult for us to do it alone." ”
