Chapter 647: Secret Fight
As Mage Merlin feared, the Dark Council has always had no taboos in doing things, and will do whatever it takes to achieve its ends. Taking this time as an example, the discerning person knew at a glance that these dark mages were deliberately exposing their whereabouts, causing a dispute between the Cult of Light and the Principality of Pritz, forcing the Grand Duke of Pritz to lean into the Dark Council.
It's a simple and crude approach, but I have to admit that it can be very useful at some point. But Master Edwin miscalculated one thing, that is, Leo's character, when Master Edwin and Bishop Anthony were brought into the Grand Duke's Mansion, Leo learned what had happened, and looked at the two walking troubles standing in front of him with a headache.
"Two, no matter what grievances there are between the Church of Light and the Dark Council, no matter who is stronger or weaker between the God of Light and the God of Darkness, this is the Principality of Pritz, not your Church of Light and the Dark Council, you must abide by the rules here, if you have any personal grievances and disputes, please settle them after leaving Pritz!" Leo first showed his attitude, that is, absolute neutrality, he did not want to lean towards the Light Sect nor offend the Dark Council, this kind of religious dispute has always been troublesome, once it is touched, it can never be shaken off.
"No, Your Excellency, you can't stay out of it, it is the innate instinct of every human being to yearn for the light, and the god of light, who represents justice and goodness, will always pay attention to us. As a famous person in the mainland, you should naturally maintain the light and spurn the darkness, and I believe that your people will definitely support your decision!" Bishop Anthony was so shocked that he almost lost his soul when he saw that Archduke Leo wanted to stay out of the matter, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.
In the eyes of Orientals, I can believe in you or believe in him, and even I can believe in anyone, but in the eyes of Westerners, you either believe in me or believe in him, anyway, it is impossible for anyone not to believe in him.
If Grand Duke Leo announced that he did not believe in the God of Light, it would be a very huge blow to the Church of Light, after all, when the Church of Light was established before, the Church of Light publicized the conversion of Grand Duke Pritz to the God of Light, and if now Grand Duke Leo declares that he does not believe in the God of Light, then for the Church of Light, it will be a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.
"Praise be to you, Your Excellency, the hypocritical believers of the Light and their teachings are but fooling some ignorant people, and the truly discerning will not be deceived by them. Even if the scorching sun is blazing again, the light will eventually disappear and the night will eventually fall, the Dark Council is very open and open, you and the people of your principality are welcome to join!"
"Fart!Who likes the dark, only the ground rats in the gutter are afraid of the light, your dark hearts should have been purified by the light a long time ago, and one day you will be burned at the stake in the Church of Light!" Bishop Anthony scolded when he saw that the dark mage had been demolished, and he didn't care about any manners.
In the face of Bishop Anthony's violent insults, Master Edwin did not fight back, but shrugged his shoulders very easily to Leo, and said mockingly: "You see, this is the hypocrisy of the Church of Light, saying high-sounding words with dignity on the one hand, and foul language when you turn your head, typical hypocrite!"
"You ......" was said by Master Edwin, and Bishop Anthony naturally knew that he had lost his temper just now, so angry that he stomped his feet even more.
Leo watched the farce of these two people coldly on the side, sitting upright with an expression on his face and not saying anything, anyway, he had already made up his mind to remain neutral, whether it was the Church of Light or the Dark Council, they were not good birds, there was no need to get involved too deeply with them.
"You two, you don't have to argue, I don't believe in the God of Light or the God of Darkness, so whether it is the Church of Light or the Dark Council, there is no prejudice, I don't interfere with what you do in Pritz City, but you must abide by the rules of Pritz City!"
Leo's words were not polite, Bishop Anthony was a little dissatisfied, since the Knights of Light and the Knights of the Holy Judgment fought with the Duchy of Pritz, the Archduke of Pritz, who was originally quite close to the Church of Light, had become resistant to the church, which made him secretly complain in his heart about Cardinal Owen, who was in charge before.
In the same way, to the ears of Master Edwin, the meaning is completely different. Although Leo resolutely stated his neutrality, for the Dark Council, the fact that the Principality of Pritz did not lean towards the Church of Light was a phased victory.
As long as there is no inclination to lean towards the Church of Light, Master Edwin has a chance to win him over, don't look at the Dark Council has been surrounded and blocked by the Church of Light for hundreds of years, but after all, they are old churches that have been inherited for thousands of years, and they have a deep heritage. As long as you take out a little bit, I believe you will be able to impress the Grand Duke of Pulitzer.
Bishop Anthony noticed that Master Edwin's eyes were rolling, and he must have some kind of ghost idea, so he immediately asked Leo, "Your Excellency, I believe you must have received the invitation letter from the Archon of Turt!"
Before Leo could deny it, Bishop Anthony immediately followed up and said: "The Church of Light will hold the coronation ceremony of His Majesty St. Paul's Crown in fifteen days, His Majesty St. Paul's has had a pleasant meeting with you, so His Majesty St. Paul's Crowning strongly invites you to watch the ceremony, and I hope you can come to the ceremony!"
Leo didn't expect Bishop Anthony to ask him on the spot, and this incident was the excuse he used to prevaricate Master Edwin, so he had to nod his head. If he refuses the invitation of the Cult of Light, then the invitation to negotiate with the Dark Council will not be able to drag on, but he is afraid that he will offend the Dark Council because he is present at the coronation of the Pope of Light.
However, what Leo and Bishop Anthony didn't expect was that Master Edwin didn't react to this matter, but said to Leo very graciously: "The coronation ceremony of the Pope of Light, that is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if I have the opportunity, I want to go and see it! I believe that His Excellency will see the true face of the Church of Light even more after he arrives in the Holy City of Light!"
The dark mage's weakness not only did not reassure Bishop Anthony, but made him worry about whether the madmen of the Dark Council would do anything to sabotage the coronation, after all, these dark mages are some crazy guys.
