Opportunities always arise by accident.

If only the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny interferes in the affairs of the United States of Citi, Ma Wei doesn't think there is anything, but if other churches interfere together.

There's a lot to say about it.

You know, the predecessor of the United States of Citi was the colony of the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Popon, because of the loss of history, the pioneers of the continents who lost communication discovered this 'new continent', and two thousand years ago, the Western Continent only existed in the teachings.

Later, the Age of Exploration began, and the pioneers landed on the Western Continent and conquered the tribes here one by one with their technological advantages.

Ma Wei believes that the primeval and closed nature of the Western Continent is inseparable from the ancient gods, and the teachings of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny also mentioned that there is a continent inhabited by demons in the West, which is a cursed land.

It stands to reason that the victorious side's Apocalypse Divine System should not have been recorded so vaguely, probably to prevent people from going to the Western Continent to dig the Demon Gate, so they did not leave a specific description in the doctrine.

No matter what happened back then, it could not change the fact that the western continent was once colonized, and the people living there today are mostly the descendants of immigrants such as the Ansa and Gauls.

The people who had migrated to the Western Continent built a new home here, formed their own government, and swore sovereignty.

The fundamental reason for the independence of the United States of Citi was that the Kingdom of Windsor was at war with the Kingdom of Popan, which led to the lack of binding force on external colonies, and at the same time, the United States of Citi received war aid from the Kingdom of Popan and other countries.

Needless to say, the outcome of the War of Independence was the victory of the United States of Citi and the expulsion of the Kingdom of Windsor, but in essence, they were still descendants of the Ansars, but there is no doubt that the United States of Citi was a multi-ethnic state.

Previously, without the arrival of gods, the Kingdom of Windsor was forced to abandon the lands of the United States of Citi.

Now that the gods have come, why can't the church divide the United States of Citi again?

As the base camp of the ancient gods' forces, if it can be successfully divided, it will definitely be of great benefit to the future war, otherwise.

Even if they can't divide the United States of Citi, they can force the forces of the Old Gods to make a move, so that the churches that have discovered the power of the Old Gods will inevitably divert their attention and give priority to dealing with the Old Gods, and the Romanov Kingdom will have more breathing space.

By divide, Mavi does not mean a division of land, but a division of faith.

The Church rules not over the land, but over the hearts of people.

The land is a dead thing, and the occupier will eventually usher in a day when he will be unable to do so, so he will be robbed by others, but if he gets the hearts of the people, even if the land is not yours, you can also get the benefits of the land, and you don't have to worry about the land being robbed.

This is the most terrible thing about religion, or faith.

It grabs only limited profits, but it affects generations and future generations.

The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate could have taken advantage of this war aid opportunity to establish a diocese in the United States of Citi.

After Mavi spoke his mind, Archbishop Fowler spoke: "The Holy See has a diocese in the United States of Citi for a long time. ”

"I'm talking about a parish that's much bigger than it is now."

Of course, Ma Wei knew that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate was in the diocese of the United States of Citi, and it was impossible for him to join the church for so long that he didn't even know this bit of information: "I mean, since the top of the United States of Citi wants to defend against the Southern Slave Army, there is a price to pay. ”

"From the standpoint of the Kingdom, of course I hope that these costs will be trade orders and financial agreements, but I also have to consider for the Church, and it is obviously more important to expand the faith than trade orders."

Ubrey I nodded slowly, and agreed with Mavi's statement: "This is a very good proposal, although the church is to deal with the Doomsday, but this does not prevent us from receiving payment, Nicholas is worthy of believing in the goddess of wealth, you are a natural businessman." ”

The demand for more compensation from the top of the United States of Citi was unanimously supported by the overwhelming majority of the population, along with the war aid.

Someone asked, "What are we going to offer?" ”

"Before we can negotiate with the United States of Citi, we must first get the support of other churches." "Fowler," said Ublis I, "send for the churches of the other churches in London to inform their respective churches of a joint council. ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

It is not Ma Wei's responsibility to negotiate with other churches, this incident is not trivial, and it needs to be discussed by the popes, of course, this is an internal issue of the Apocalypse Divine Department, and the Church of Truth is not qualified to participate.

Just when Ma Wei and the others were in a meeting, the nervous second prince also waited for the 'guest' of the Doomsday Party.

Like last time, Mr. Butler appeared in front of him silently, as if he had come out of the ground, startling him.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with our strength?"

"Not satisfied!"

Mr. Butler, who was still smiling confidently, stiffened his face and wondered, "Not only did we destroy the headquarters of the little witcher, but we also attacked St. Paul's Cathedral, which is the main church of the Goddess of Fate, isn't this enough to prove our strength?" ”

"You attacked Nicholas!"

The second prince roared angrily: "Why! Why did you attack Nicholas?! He's my man! Don't you know? ”

"Nicholas von Manstein"

Mr. Butler sneered: "He is not an ordinary person, Your Majesty, you shouldn't believe him." ”

The non-aggression pact between the Doomsday Party and the Old Gods has expired, so Mr. Butler dares to order the man in the suit and others to attack Ma Wei, who he believes is a member of the Old God Forces.

Although the non-aggression pact is invalid, Freya has made a new contract with the Doomsday Party, and the two parties cannot reveal each other's identities, and the internal members do not matter, but the second prince has not yet joined the Doomsday Party, and Mr. Butler cannot tell him that he thinks Ma Wei is a member of the Old God Forces.

Both sides have ghosts in their hearts, and secrecy is the best solution.

"Don't believe Nicholas, do you believe you!"

The second prince is surprisingly short-tempered today, he didn't sleep all night last night, especially when he heard that the Doomsday Party attacked No. 9 Downing Street, he even raised his heart to his throat.

Finally, I was relieved to know that it was okay.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, it is indeed better for you to believe in us Doomsday than in Nicholas von Manstein."

Mr. Butler persuaded bitterly: "At present, I can't explain to you what happened, only if you agree to join us, I can tell you the truth." ”

Looking at Mr. Butler, the second prince hated to immediately call the guards to come in and break him into pieces.

He had this power before the gods came!

After venting, the second prince gradually calmed down, he remembered Ma Wei's explanation, and took a few puffs of cigarettes - he has recently fallen in love with cigarettes, although the cigar is elegant, but you can't smoke it in your lungs, there is no cigarette on it!

There have been too many things that have happened recently, and smoking cigarettes can numb yourself more.

"I can join you, but there is one request."

"Just say it."

"You can't do anything to Nicholas anymore."

"This"

Mr. Butler hesitated: "Your Majesty, you should make another request, because I was planning to talk to you about Nicholas von Manstein's problem after you joined, so I can't agree to you." ”

The reason why Mr. Butler was able to become the leader of the underground black market and the spokesman of Colonel Moran was not because of how capable he was, but because he obeyed the rules and obeyed orders.

He was trusted by Colonel Moran and James Moorea, and as the third-in-command of the London branch, he lived up to the expectations of his superiors and never made any mistakes - before Ma Wei and the others came to London.

Since the attack on the underground laboratory and the Freya incident, Mr. Butler has become more careful, and every word has to be carefully considered.

"That's my only request." The second prince spat out a puff of smoke towards the ceiling, and his attitude was very resolute: "Otherwise, don't talk about it, you can kill me." ”

"Your Majesty, why do you think so highly of Nicholas von Manstein?"

"He made me who I am, and he is the greatest guarantee that I can sit on the throne at the moment, and if he dies, I will be the one standing on the edge of the cliff, you know?"

The second prince pulled out a silk thread from the sofa pillow and tore it off: "Nicholas is the one who handed me the rope, without him, I would have stayed on the cliff forever, I could not go up or down." ”

"Your father-in-law, Baron Frederick."

"He's not capable." The second prince said: "Not only is his ability not good, but he also lacks a church background, even if he is Archbishop Brandon, he and I belong to a relationship of mutual use, but Nicholas, I think he is my friend, even if it is half a friend, it is precious enough." ”

"He was there for me and helped me through this difficult time when I was dying, and I understand that the king should not have feelings, but I do thank him."

"With Nicholas's current position, he has a good chance of becoming the pope, if I can, I will do my best to support him, you are not wrong to say that this is an investment, and my request is very simple, you are not allowed to do anything to him again."

Mr. Butler was a little silent, he never thought that the second prince would be a person with feelings.

You know, the second prince agreed to poison his own father!

This kind of person.

Do you have feelings?

Aren't they unscrupulous characters for the sake of an end?

The change is incredible.

At least in Mr. Butler's cognition, the second prince was definitely an indifferent temper before, and I don't know from what moment he actually recovered some of his feelings as a human being.

Was it looking at Charles's corpse, or standing in front of the old king's bed, and suddenly waking up?

Compared with the first two possibilities, Mr. Butler felt that the second prince was likely to be a kind of fear that suddenly arose after reaching the peak of power.

Lonely.

Ever since he became king, there has been no one of equal status around him.

Those who were once supporters have become bloodsuckers, with their own ends.

Even Baron Frederick always had family in mind.

The second prince is like a pig, who is constantly fed, and after fattening, those who feed it begin to reap the benefits.

He.

became a provider.

The environment has not changed, but people's hearts have changed.

In contrast, Ma Wei is the most normal one, he doesn't care about the identity of the second prince at all, how it was before, how it is now, this is a state from the heart, and he can't pretend to be it.

Subconsciously, Ma Wei didn't regard the second prince as a high king at all.

The second prince found a little solace in Ma Wei.

Perhaps it was this comfort that made him regard Ma Wei as a friend.

Mr. Butler felt that this was an illusion, a very serious illusion, and even Ma Wei would think that it was an illusion, but the second prince did not think so.

At first, Mavi provided material value to the second prince, and now

What is offered is no longer material value, but emotional value.

Mr. Butler didn't know how to reply to the second prince.

He believed that Ma Wei was a member of the ancient god forces, and through last night's incident, it was also proved that there were transcendent beings around Ma Wei, which further confirmed his guess.

Getting rid of Ma Wei and supporting others to take the throne is one of the next plans of the Doomsday Party, and only in this way can they firmly control the second prince in their hands, but the first step is wrong.

The second prince agreed to cooperate, and the request was that they should not harm Ma Wei, but if Ma Wei was not eliminated, wouldn't the actions of the Doomsday Party be all exposed under the noses of the ancient god forces?

For a moment, Mr. Butler felt that the second prince had been brainwashed.

He asked the young man behind him to bring a purple necklace and put it in the second prince's hand, and after a long while, the necklace did not respond, and then he took it back depressedly.

Not brainwashed.

The second prince really thought so.

Do you want to start a backup plan?

Brecken Potions Company has developed an enchantment pill, as long as this pill is used, it is not difficult to control the body of the second prince, so that they can forcibly dismiss Ma Wei in the name of the king, elect a new prime minister, and then

Just wait for the church to get you in trouble.

Everyone knows that the second prince and Ma Wei are very close, and the dismissal of the prime minister is a big deal, especially when the prime minister has just been in office for a week, he has not made any mistakes, how can he be dismissed?

The church will definitely be suspicious, and if you come to the door to check, won't it reveal the stuffing?

Sooner or later, the backup scheme will be exposed and can only be used at critical moments.

The excavation of the ruins of Londinium was imminent, and the research had reached a bottleneck, and they needed to obtain more alchemy technology, which was buried in the ground of London.

Without the help of the Royal Government, it would have been difficult to do it quietly.

"Well, I agree with your request that as long as you are willing to join the Doomsday Party, we will no longer attack Nicholas von Manstein."

"Is that true?"

"The Doomsday Party has been able to get to where it is today, relying on cohesion, and the way to maintain cohesion is to follow the rules, and abiding by the rules will have the same effect as faith."

"It's a trust mechanism, and if we don't follow the rules, the Doomsday Party will lose its cohesion and become a mess," Mr. Butler said. ”

"I believe in you." The second prince nodded: "You said that there is something about Nicholas to tell me, what is it?" ”

"Ahem, what I said next, Your Majesty, you can't tell anyone, because it's the top secret of the Doomsday Party."

"No problem, I'll keep it a secret."

Nodding slightly, Mr. Butler said in a deep voice: "Nicholas is a member of the ancient god forces, and he is a demon. ”

The second prince opened his mouth, showing an expression that was both surprised and not very surprised.

"Oh."

"Aren't you shocked?" Mr. Butler felt that the second prince's reaction was too small and not fierce enough.

"Seriously, it's not surprising to me that Nicholas is a demon when he refuses Anatole's invitation, gets the help of otherworldly beings, and survives your attacks, isn't it strange to you?"

Mr. Butler thought for a moment: "I'm not surprised. ”

"Isn't that all there is to it?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Mr. Butler was almost led astray by the second prince: "You should draw a line with him!" He's a demon! Not human! ”

"So what?"

"So. So what? He's a demon! ”

"What about demons?"

The second king flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said nonchalantly:

"If Nicholas is a demon, then his target should be the church, what does it have to do with me?"
