The coffins of Williams and Earl Virgin arrived in the royal capital with Chamie and his party.

The Wizards' Association of Cullen City made a lot of preparations for this long journey, carving a magic circle on the coffin to protect the corpse to the greatest extent, so that Williams's face is still vivid, and his whole person seems to be asleep.

On the handsome face, the slightly curvature of the corners of the mouth once made many noble ladies and girls in the royal capital unbearable.

Lehart VII withdrew everyone and sat quietly in front of the coffin alone.

The supreme ruler of the empire had twelve sons and fifteen daughters, all of whom had different personalities, each with their own merits, and could more or less share some of the pressure on his shoulders in adulthood, with the exception of one person.

This bastard named Williams has his blood in his veins, but he has not inherited the fine traditions of the Lehart family at all.

Wandering around all day long, causing trouble everywhere.

Not long ago, because of the matter of the new patron saint of the human race, the two had a big quarrel, and Williams almost pointed at his nose and scolded him for being the lord of the dead country.

But unexpectedly, this became the last time the father and son met.

Williams in the coffin, with his usual nonchalance between his eyebrows, curled up the corners of his mouth as if to let out a silent mockery, as if to say, "Well, old man, I will poke out a big basket for you even if I die." ”

Many people don't understand why Lehart VII is so indulgent to his third son, and most people think that His Majesty the Emperor is looking at the late Princess Elizabeth, Williams's biological mother, but in fact, only Lehart VII himself knows why he looks so differently at this son.

Because he saw in Williams the shadow of his youth.

The same unruliness, the same fearlessness, and even the same bastard temperament.

This bastard doesn't care how sad other people will be for his death, and no matter what kind of shadow his death will cast on the future of the empire, no...... He knew these things very well in his heart, he was smarter than anyone else, how could he not think of these things, and the current result might be what he wanted.

It may seem to him that it is a very cost-effective thing to put the entire empire on the chariot with his own life and completely break with the church, but how could Lehart VII, as the supreme ruler of the empire, let him get what he wanted so easily.

The Lion King sneered and walked out of the palace where the coffin was parked.

By the time Lehart VII walked out of the gate, his expression had recovered as before, and he said calmly, "Note to Pope Elwood of the Holy Alliance, asking him to explain the attack. ”

The first order of Lehart VII did not come as a surprise, but then his words surprised Pushkin, who was waiting outside.

"Withdraw all soldiers from the Empire's borders with the Holy Alliance, open the borders of the country, and show the people the true situation in the blockade zone intact and unreserved, and contact the Church and invite them to send their men to help resolve the current crisis in the Empire. ”

Pushkin breathed a sigh of relief, he was most worried about the outbreak of a full-scale war in the Reich over the death of Williams and the Holy Alliance, which was really not a wise choice at this juncture.

Fortunately, Lehart VII was not blinded by hatred, it seems that he knew very well that the real enemy was there, and this method was used beautifully, and uncovering everything in the sun was the most powerful blow to the Church.

The existence of the abyssal rift was originally known only to the high-level of the countries, and the new Pope Elwood had made a guarantee and promise to all forces that as long as the countries did not take the lead in attacking, those monsters would not leave the designated area, and at the same time, those cracks would disappear on their own in a maximum of ten years, and the Markan Desert was the best proof of this, the crack disappeared soon after the incident in the north, so all the forces chose to accept the church's advice and stay on the sidelines.

But what happened to the condolence group broke this agreement, a monster left the crack, appeared in the southwest of the empire, and attacked and killed a prince, which was an accident outside the rules, so Lehart VII could naturally use extra-rule means to solve it.

Thanks to thousands of years of propaganda by the Church, even illiterate farmers in the fields now know that the creatures of the abyss are the embodiment of evil, the natural enemies of mankind, and that the Church, which represents the side of good, is naturally at odds with these evil creatures.

The temple shed countless blood in the battle against the Abyss, and also erected a majestic image that countless believers admired, which helped them achieve their current success, but it also became their weakness.

That's why there are dark institutions like the Inquisition that don't exist, to help the church do something shady, but now the matter is much more serious than the Inquisition being exposed.

The previous Pope, Vanal V, stepped down because of the events in the North, and now it was Elwood's turn to have a headache. He was informed of the failure of the operation by Vannal V, who had informed him of the failure of the operation, and that Dinah and the sheriff named Hollins had managed to reach New Telt before the final judgment began, while the abyssal monsters who had been sent had lost contact.

Elwood was puzzled, although the number of monsters selected by Vanal V was small, but their strength was very good, and it stands to reason that there should be no armed forces nearby that could completely destroy them.

But that's the way it is, until Chami fainted outside Cullen City covered in blood alone, and the church's local forces hurriedly passed the news back, and Elwood's whole person was suddenly devoured by thunder, which is too, not only did those monsters fail to solve Dinah, but killed a prince by mistake, probably not worse than this.

Elwood almost immediately approached Vannell V, and he actually wanted to point at the other party's nose and scold him, if it wasn't for the latter's constant pressure on him, the situation would not have deteriorated to this extent.

But now is not the time to be held accountable, the top priority is to find a way to get through this crisis, Ellwood is different from Vannell V, he just wants to be in the grip of power, his ass is not yet hot, how can he be willing to step down like this.

But he didn't expect that when he came to the other party's residence again, he would have a solid and closed door.

The butler told him that Vannal V had gone out to visit a friend two days ago, and no one knew exactly where he had gone, but he probably wouldn't be back anytime soon, and Elwood had a bad feeling in his heart.
