The Ice Demon's tentative attack, which was eventually repelled by Gandalf's high-level spells, also made Duke see the terrifying power of magic in this world. And this time the Ice Demon suffered heavy losses, and knowing that Storm Castle had the existence of an archmage, if nothing else, Storm Castle could survive this winter.

At the same time, the success of Stormcastle's defense also brought Duke's personal prestige to a peak, and everyone regarded the lord as their protector, and the military forces present expressed their personal allegiance to Duke.

In other words, it was only at this time that Duke truly controlled the entire Storm Castle, which became his territory completely.

However, Gandalf's help also caused Duke a little trouble, because the big fireball was so conspicuous and the magic fluctuated so violently that it was almost impossible to hide it from the Holy See Bishop Kasmai. Once the Holy See confirms that Gandalf's "escape" is related to Duke, he may be escorted to Constantinople, the holy city where the Pope is located, for trial, so covering Gandalf's identity will be the top priority.

Duke couldn't find a reasonable explanation, but there was one more person here who could rationalize this fireball, and that person was Princess Gina.

Because in addition to the Holy See, there is only a royal archmage in the French Empire, and after Duke made a promise that he would explain what science is, Princess Gina promised to inform Bishop Casmay, saying that it was Emperor Henry VII who was worried about his safety and sent the royal archmage to defend Storm Castle, so there was magic, and it just so happened that the royal family also had a fire archmage named Dumbledore.

Bishop Kasmai was skeptical about Princess Kina's announcement, but he didn't think much about it. Because Gandalf was only a high-level mage in the file, to know the difference between a high-level mage and an archmage, it could be described as a moat, and he had no idea that Gandalf would be such a young archmage.

And in order to redeem the fault of allowing Gandalf to escape, Kasmai directly reported to the Holy See, saying that this time he broke the monster invasion because he held the city wall, and did not mention anything about the archmage at all. As for the soldiers on the castle tower, they didn't know Gandalf's identity even more, after all, Duke, the lord, didn't know that the Inquisition was holding a dark mage before, so they all thought that Gandalf was the royal archmage.

It can be said that under all kinds of intrigues and mistakes, Gandalf's identity was magically covered up temporarily, which made Duke feel that the world was really wonderful......

"Duke, it's time for you to tell me what the science cult is all about, right?"

Looking at Princess Gina who kept asking questions, Duke felt a headache. Science is actually very easy to explain, but it is not so easy to make people accept, after all, Gina received a different education from herself, and she is not a "heretic" of the Holy See like Gandalf, Duke doesn't know how to tell Gina that in fact, he doesn't believe in God at all, but believes in science.

"I'm sorry princess, it's a Church of Scientology, not a cult. ”

"What kind of god or cult is it, tell me what the hell is going on with science, what happened between you and Gandalf?"

Gina blocked Duke directly, and this time she didn't let her figure it out, so she didn't plan to let Duke go.

"I told you, and you won't understand. ”

"Why?" Princess Gina asked in confusion.

"Because you don't have enough culture!"

Princess Jina, who waited for Duke to explain for a long time, but when she waited for such a sentence, she instantly couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and said directly to Duke viciously: "Straw bale, you are looking for death!"

Seeing that Gina had the possibility of turning her face, Duke understood that she couldn't continue to be stimulated, and this little girl was emotionally unstable.

"Okay, let me tell you, science is a general term for exploring the laws of change and knowledge systems of all things, and anything around you can be related to science. But there are many theories in science that conflict with the church Bible, such as Copernicus's heliocentrism, Galileo's cosmology, and so on. ”

"But science will prove that it is the truth, and Gandalf is curious about science, and he has a fanaticism about the power that science brings, and he wants to understand and explore science, even compared to magical powers, so I was able to recruit him, it's as simple as that. ”

Duke finished talking about what happened succinctly in one breath, and he probably couldn't hide his "heretical" thoughts about science, so he simply made it clear. Similarly, Duke also believes that this little girl will not report herself to the Holy See, which is an inexplicable trust.

Sure enough, after listening to Duke's words, Jina's round eyes widened, staring at Duke in front of her and saying, "Then in fact, your belief is science?"

Is science a kind of faith? Okay, no one says that faith must be an ethereal god, and modern science is indeed Duke's outlook on life and the world.

"It's understandable. Duke admitted.

"That'...... Then you are also a different ...... Heresy?"

Gina stammered as she said this, Duke's transformation had had a great impact on her, and the Holy See's thinking was ingrained in her mind.

Hearing this, Duke replied with a playful smile on his face, "I told Gandalf about this, so I'll tell you again today." On the contrary, I consider myself to be the truth, and the Holy See is heresy. ”

When Duke said this, Gina stood there in complete shock, a little unable to believe her ears. Declaring the Holy See a heretic, this is what only a madman does, could it be that Duke's straw bag has behaved so abnormally recently, as if he has changed a person, and it is really a brain problem.

Duke originally looked at Gina with surprise in his eyes, but there was actually sympathy behind him, which made Duke feel a little inexplicable, what does this kind of look mean?

"Aren't you going to say something?"

Duke saw that Princess Gina was just staring at him and didn't speak, and finally couldn't help but ask a rhetorical question.

"Duke, have you been feeling a little abnormal in your thinking lately, if so, the royal family has the best court doctor, for your sake of holding on to Stormcastle, I can help you with this. “

"What do you mean by that?" said Duke's turn, feeling a little unusual.

"I mean, don't give up on treatment, the Holy See isn't easy to mess with. ”

Princess Gina looked at Duke with a determined look in her voice, her tone full of rare concern.

"Damn, it's really a vase, what about the brain?" Duke felt a breakdown in his heart.
