Bright yellow threads emerged from the top of Fawkes's head and flew towards Mephistopheles, who was sitting nearby. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a wave of his hand, the silk threads that flew towards him were scattered, and the young earl was surprised: "Faith?"

"What did you say, sir?"

The distraught old butler didn't hear his lord's words clearly, and of course, even if he did, he wouldn't understand what it meant.

The blessing rituals of faith are all produced by the host in an unconscious form, so Fawkes not only can't see the bright yellow silk thread, but also can't feel what is happening in it.

"Nothing, Fauber, you don't need to do that, now the first thing we have to do is give the Bishop who looked down on us a little color. ”

Mephistopheles is no stranger to such a thing as "faith". Perhaps for low-level gods and high-level humans, this kind of blessing of faith can bring them a lot of help, but for Mephistopheles, whose true identity is the devil, such blessings make him afraid to avoid them.

With his original strength, he has not yet reached the point where he can use "faith" at will, and accepting the blessing of the other party's faith is definitely more than worth the loss.

Of course, as a "human" who has advanced to gold, the incarnation of Count Chenault can still accept it. However, such a choice will cause this avatar to cause a lot of loss when it calls on its power from the main body, anyway, this avatar can be resurrected after death, and he has no intention of making it a heroic spirit, so rejecting this kind of thing is the best choice.

"It's the old servant who has lost his temper, please forgive me. The old butler confessed and slowly got up from the ground.

He first wiped the corners of his moist eyes with a white handkerchief, and then reassured: "The contempt of the Bishop of the Temple of Dawn is infuriating, but the old servant still does not understand why you say that their purpose is already clear? As for the Knights of Champions, the old servant does not think that they dare to hide anything from us. ”

Fox's bluntness didn't make Mephistopheles angry, but rather made him quite amused. Because he knew that the current old butler had completely given up the idea of protecting himself, and the loyalty he paid was no longer to gain the recognition and honor of the Morte family, but to repay his value for him.

"Loyalty to the pursuit of honor is the true foundation of power. ”

Mephistopheles, who was thinking to herself, thought of the knight named Kern again, and remembered the cautious look he had in front of her.

The other party's performance not only did not make Mephistopheles despise him, but made him pay more attention to him, not only to him, but also to the royal family behind him.

Only Mephistopheles, who has experienced it, understands how difficult it is to cultivate such loyal subordinates, and after three generations of hard work, the Morte family is now only able to meet the requirements of Fawkes, an old man who is over half a hundred years old.

Of course, in the course of these three generations of efforts, the positive role played by the Earl of Bronck is definitely much smaller than the negative role he played.

"You don't understand, Fauber. Mephistopheles laughed and explained, "The Knights of Champions may not be hiding anything from us, but that doesn't mean we're all there. ”

"You mean...... Even the knights who lead the team don't understand their true purpose?"

"No, he must know something, but he shouldn't know that this information is what the royal family really wanted them to be. ”

Mephistopheles's words were a little distorted, but the old butler understood.

As the lord said, the task given by the royal family to the Champion Knights is probably not only to find the defecting royal members, but also to have some incidental tasks and requirements, and the real purpose of the royal family is probably hidden in the flow of those incidental tasks or main tasks.

Of course, this kind of hidden information that even the parties do not understand is difficult to find out, and Kern did not deliberately conceal it, but subconsciously ignored it.

After all, even if you confess yourself, you won't be so detailed as to tell each other about your experiences every second, and when translating other languages, you won't translate them word by word, and you will definitely have a subconscious grammatical summary.

This kind of information exchange is the most difficult to eliminate, because it is impossible to ask Kern Knight to repeat verbatim what the royal family said when they give orders, like a crystal.

"So that's the case, the eyes of the adults are far-reaching, far beyond the reach of the old servants. ”

Although these were only speculations by Count Cheno, their authenticity was beyond doubt, as the performance of the temple had confirmed it for Fawkes.

The old butler was not stupid, and Mephistopheles had already figured out the logic as soon as he mentioned it. The incompleteness of the temple plan illustrates their contempt for the young Earl Cheno, but it also illustrates the haste with which they prepared the plan.

Rushing proves that there is not enough time, so what makes them so rushed?

According to the old butler's speculation, either the temple had a request for the time Count Cheno's time to join them, or something had happened that affected them.

Judging from the information gathered below and the performance of the other party when they left, the possibility of the first guess is almost non-existent, so there is only one reason left for them to be so hasty.

As for what this change is, I'm afraid there is no other possibility except for the Knights of the Champions, who have already taken action.

To be able to mess up the temple, it is clear that the purpose of the Knights of Champions is not as simple as they say.

"However, what the old servant doesn't understand is that the purpose of the temple ......"

"The purpose of the temple is to let me join them, do you think they are still hiding?"

"But we don't know what they're going to do......"

"You also said it was an 'intend'. Mephistopheles interrupted Fox's remarks, explaining: "'Purpose' and 'intend' are not to be confused, 'intend' is the means to achieve 'end'. ”

"This ......"

"It's not a matter of chewing words, Fauber. You know, all conspiracies and calculations are aimed at achieving their ends, and the relationship between them is like a system of branches and roots. Now that we know the purpose of the other party, is it still difficult to explore and guard against the means behind it?"

"It's the old servant who is confused!" Fawkes said with some annoyance: "Your Excellency has decided not to join the temple, then the other party's purpose cannot be achieved, as for its traps and calculations, there is time to figure it out!"

"Yes, compared to the Champion Knights, who have not yet touched the roots, the temple does not need to spend much energy on defense. After all, their identities are awkward, and they can't compare to the unscrupulous means of the royal family. ”

"Yes, the old servant will go down and make arrangements. ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

After Fawkes left, the study fell into silence, and Mephistopheles played with the teacup in his hand, and his face became more and more serious.

Although he said that he didn't need to care about the temple, Mephistopheles regarded them as the first target in his heart. After all, no matter how powerful the royal family is, it will not be put in the eyes of the ancestor devil, and the gods with powerful divine power are different.

"Shouldn't I be glad my identity wasn't revealed?"

Mephistopheles restrained the seriousness on her face, a self-deprecating smile on her lips.

"Smack-"

The teacups painted with thorns on the outer wall were thrust to the ground by Mephistopheles, and the broken porcelain pieces splashed in all directions along with the warm tea.

The young Earl stood up suddenly, a crazy red glow flashing in his eyes: "I have calculated too many humans to count, but I have never counted the gods, and since you have revealed your desires, then I don't mind trying to kill the gods!"
