The royal capital arcane academy, a dragon roar broke through the air, and everyone knew that Dean Hudson had come to the academy in person.

Naturally, there will be no greeting without prior notice. The angry Hudson didn't care about any rules, and directly entered the principal's office with the two bodyguards of the dragon and bear.

It's a pity that the cunning Robert has long since disappeared. After making a splash, Hudson went on to look for the bad luck of the other high-ranking members of the academy.

Then there was no then, and all the big people in the academy were nowhere to be seen at the moment, and all that was left was just ordinary lecturers.

Knowing that these guys were deliberately avoiding him, he didn't have the heart to be angry with the little people, and Hudson, who was full of anger, went straight to the palace.

If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime. With such a big news, Hudson didn't believe that there was no shadow of the royal family. No matter how independent the Arcane Academy is, the students and instructors are inextricably linked to the kingdom, and it is impossible not to be bound by the kingdom.

In normal times, the arcanists do things with their personal vests and trumpets, and no matter how big the storm is, the kingdom can find out that there is no such person!

This time it's different, I don't know which deity is deranged, these guys actually speak in the name of the academy. It is clear that if the gods are angry and there is a wave of divine punishment, everyone will be cool together.

Perhaps in the eyes of the great Lord of the Dawn, this little thing can't be cared about by self-surrender, after all, no one has the time to pay attention to the thoughts of the ants.

But the resulting political impact is too bad. Suppressing theocracy and opposing theocracy are two different concepts entirely.

The former is nothing more than a power struggle between two waves of believers, and whether it is a god, or countless god believers, this can be tolerated.

The latter is the opposite of the majority. Looking at the magic array opened at the entrance of the Arcane Academy, you can see that in the past few days, believers have come to make trouble.

"Your Majesty, I need an explanation. Why did this happen to the Arcane Academy, and where was the Kingdom's control over the Academy? ”

Hudson's questioning embarrassed Caesar IV. Since the consolidation of royal power, no one dared to question him like this.

Just as he was about to get angry, he swallowed back when the words came to his lips. It's not that Hudson is jealous, it's mainly that he's losing money now!

The Arcane Academy was led by the royal family, and most of the people in power in it are inextricably linked to the royal family, and some of them are even the ancestors of the royal family.

But this time it was his ancestors who had always been very relieved that he made it. After the incident, Caesar IV was also frightened.

Fortunately, he did not take a position in the academy, and let Hudson, the most famous person, help carry the blame. Now the outside world is scolding the Arcane Academy.

Even Hudson, who has always had a good reputation and is known as the "protector of the kingdom", is now being sprayed with dog blood by the people.

Unintentionally planted willows and willows.

Hudson's prestige, which had always wanted to suppress him, had no chance, but he never expected that a wave of commotion by the Arcane Academy would make Hudson infamous.

It turns out that the nominal principal is not easy to be. Something happened to the school, and I couldn't run away. "Marshal, I don't know about this either! Who knew those bastards would dare to be so bold.

However, you can rest assured that the government has issued an announcement to officially refute the rumors. I believe that these statements will soon disappear. ”

Caesar IV patiently explained.

It would have been enough to suppress Hudson's prestige a little, he was not prepared to take the opportunity to beat someone to death with a stick.

Although it is true that it is possible to use the topic to play now and label Hudson a heretic, how can the bridge be demolished now that the river has not been crossed?

The way to refute rumors is very simple, just don't admit it. The remarks that "the gods are dead" were all issued by cultists in the name of the Arcane Academy, and had nothing to do with the Academy.

Believe it or not, the Alpha Kingdom official believes it anyway. Whoever dares to talk nonsense is an enemy of the kingdom.

Fortunately, the Holy See was too busy to take care of itself and did not have the time to come over to do things. Otherwise, taking advantage of this turmoil, the Alpha Kingdom will definitely cry.

Although Hudson was behind the blame, he was not the only one affected. All the teachers and students of the academy, one counts as one, and they are all labeled as "hereticals".

According to the choice of one person "heretic" and the whole family to sit together, there are many nobles in the kingdom, and they are all encircled. The same crime, if there are many people on it, it is not considered a crime.

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing happened, isn't it just to refute rumors? Eliminate the impact and it will be over.

At the very least, the people involved in the case should be found out and dealt with seriously. Otherwise, these daring fellows have no scruples and don't know what stupid things they will do! ”

Hudson said with a solemn expression.

Some things can be done secretly, so why bother to say them?

Even if you suspect that the gods are dead, you can verify it privately! If you guess wrongly, it's a big deal to be finished yourself, and then implicate a few unlucky people next to you. 33

When the news came out, it pushed countless god believers to the opposite side, and they fell into the public target at once.

"Marshal, it's not that I don't want to deal with it, I really can't find anyone!

To tell you the truth, as soon as the incident happened, I sent someone to look for them, and it came to nothing. Just found a letter, read it for yourself! ”

As he spoke, Caesar IV handed the letter directly to Hudson.

The pranks of a group of old children confused two of the most powerful people in the kingdom together.

Glancing at the contents of the letter, Hudson instantly became embarrassed, and his feelings were still his own pot. Everything is caused by overtime.

The high-level of the Arcane Academy is also the core of the kingdom's mage group. A few days ago, these people were working as coolies in the Near East.

Encountering Hudson, the unscrupulous commander, the workload of the people inevitably increased. There is a great righteousness to fight the orcs, and everyone can't refuse.

After returning to the royal capital, some people were uncomfortable and were ready to do something.

It's a pity that these cultivators are not politically strong. I just wanted to yell and find something to do for Hudson, but I never expected the political impact to be so great.

According to the letter, this operation was carried out by a few simple and strong people under the influence of alcohol, and the senior management of other colleges did not know about it.

After receiving the news, the top management of the academy realized that it was a big trouble, and immediately chose to flash and threw the mess to Caesar IV.

Closing the letter, Hudson glanced sympathetically at his own king. Sure enough, there are two sides to everything, and when you enjoy the profound benefits, you must also be prepared to clean up the mess.

Even if most of the old antiques are rational, it is inevitable that there will be a few old children. The destructive power of these violent guys is much more powerful than that of bear children.

"Your Majesty, these are all improvised excuses that they want to shirk their responsibilities.

If it's just a few drunkards, just hand them over, and escape with the top brass of the academy?

Just by virtue of their identity, even if they really did it, the kingdom can only deal with it internally, and find a way to cover it for them outside! ”

Hudson's righteous rhetoric resonated with Caesar IV. This kind of thing can really only cover the lid.

The people involved are almost all the ancestors of the big families of the kingdom, and if it is official, many big nobles, including the royal family, will be implicated.

Don't say that the Holy See doesn't have time to pay attention to it now, even if the Holy See is in its heyday, the kingdom can only stubbornly refuse to admit it.

"Marshal, they're afraid of being beaten!"

The queen's addition next to it directly restored the truth of the incident. Hudson really didn't want to move these old guys, but it wasn't a big problem to beat them up.

As it turns out, these old guys are indeed human spirits. With Hudson's anger at the time, if he found someone, he would definitely beat him up first.

Knowing the truth, Hudson was speechless. After doing it for a long time, I helped others take the blame, and I couldn't even retaliate. If you can't find the parties, you can't beat these juniors, right?

If you really want to do that, the first person to be beaten is King Caesar IV. It's exciting to think about it, and it's okay to take action.

Beating the king is such a deviant thing, only the old antiques of the royal family can do it, and the others should save it! The crime of rebellious ministers and thieves is also very terrible.

"Your Majesty, let people give them a message, the matter is not over yet. If you don't give me an explanation, don't be bumped into by me in the future, or they won't be able to get out of bed.

Don't worry, I'll do it lightly. At most, break their legs, and they won't kill anyone! Hudson said angrily.

The lost fame will definitely not be able to make up for it. No matter how the kingdom hides it, the political influence still causes it, and now it's just a way to stop the loss, how much loss can be recovered, and beating people is just a scare thing.

The Aslant continent is so big, as long as the eighth-order powerhouse wants to hide, Hudson can find a talent monster.

"Marshal, you don't have to do it! They are all elderly people, and if something happens to them, they will be in trouble if they can't get up in one breath.

I think it's good to let them apologize and restore your reputation! Caesar IV persuaded.

The current kingdom is not suitable for making a big mess. If the conflict kills people and affects the unity of the kingdom, it will be a big trouble.

In order to take care of the overall situation, he even endured the "ultra-high transit tax" of the nobles of the Northland.

It's not that lords can't levy taxes, but under normal circumstances, no one has such a high tax rate!

According to the different territorial area and geographical location, the transit tax of the lords in various places basically hovers between 1% ~ 15%, and 30% is completely extortion.

Transactions often happen without saying anything, and Caesar IV's hints, Hudson understood in an instant.

Reputation cannot be restored, but there can be benefit compensation. Originally, I was worried about the distribution of profits from the smuggling trade, but I don't need to worry about it for the time being.

At least for the next few years, these families will be embarrassed to challenge this issue. If you want to blame, you can only blame your ancestors for not worrying and causing such a big storm.

Without these people involved, the remaining nobles of the kingdom, even if they exert pressure, Hudson can withstand it.

It's enough to be able to lie down and earn a few years, as long as the development of Xueyue Ling is completed, Hudson doesn't care about the subsequent smuggling trade profits.

As a big lord, territorial development is the core, and what is not money is a small matter.

"Your Majesty, after this time, you will have to take care of the Arcane Academy. If they continue to mess around like this, they will have to close the door.

Now, I don't think it's better to leak the news of the loss of the Holy See artifact and add fuel to this farce. Hudson suggested with a smirk.

Managing the Arcane Academy is not a good job, and even the king does not have much face in front of those old immortals.

Not only is the identity big, but the strength is also unusually strong.

The powerhouses in the kingdom who are most likely to break through the Sanctuary are all in the Arcane Academy.

A large group of strong people gathered together, teaching students just by the way, more to facilitate communication, in order to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible.

"Marshal, the news of the artifact leaks out, in case the Holy See finds us on the head······" Caesar IV said with a slight hesitation.

It was not easy to get the Holy See's inheritance artifact, and he was unwilling to hand it over.

If the news leaks out, for the safety of the kingdom, he can only endure the pain of cutting his love and trading with others.

Hudson was well aware of this feeling. If it is for the purpose of causing chaos to the Holy See, then it is better to sell the Holy Sword of Light in his hand directly to the Franks.

The other party must be willing to pay a sky-high price. The resources exchanged for it are estimated that it is enough to develop the Xueyue Ling.

Unfortunately, Hudson was reluctant either. The inheritance artifact can represent orthodoxy, and according to the canon, the Pope can legally succeed to the throne only after obtaining the inheritance of the three major artifacts.

With this thing in hand, even if it becomes the biggest heresy, it can be whitewashed in the future.

And don't worry, someone is doing things with religious beliefs. Holding the holy sword, he is the spokesman of the gods in the world. The main reason is that the Holy See is too confident, and it can't imagine that one day the artifact will be lost, let alone that the Holy See will decline.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the matter of the artifact is strictly confidential. For a while, the Holy See could not find out about us, and even if they had any suspicions, they had no evidence.

The main reason for making a fuss about artifacts is to make the Franks take a bigger step.

The Holy See has been charged with ten deadly sins, and the theocracy is now in all directions, and it is only natural that a new Holy See will be established.

When they take this step, they will be in a constant fight with the Holy See. If the kingdom makes some small moves, it won't be a big deal.

If the Near East strategy is completed, we can completely follow the trend and set up another small papacy in the northern continent. The influence will certainly not keep up with the two of them, but we can make significant concessions!

For example, the churches of various countries are allowed to be completely autonomous, and the tithes are completely used by the local churches, and they do not interfere in all religious affairs of the countries······

As long as the concessions are large enough, there will be no worries about not having supporters. Even if you are crowned emperor at that time, there will be no problem! Hudson tried to paint the pie.

If the kingdom establishes another Holy See, he who brings back the inheritance artifact will be the first great contributor to the new Holy See.

It is necessary to have the word "saint" in front of the surname, and his name must also be included in the history of religion. The Coslow family, with their shallow roots, will become the second largest dignitary after the royal family.

If Caesar IV couldn't resist the temptation to become emperor, then he, the duke, could also be promoted to the rank of grand duke.

Compared with other forces on the continent, if the Alpha Kingdom can deal with the alien races, it is really possible to be crowned emperor.

Even if countries want to intervene, they must first kill the interracial alliance and open up the communication lines between the north and south continents. "Marshal, let's just talk about these words in private, I don't have the idea of becoming emperor!

However, the artifact you proposed to make a fuss about it is indeed operable, and I will let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs operate it when I go back. Caesar IV said with a little excitement.

A king who does not want to be an emperor is not a good king. But to be an emperor, you must first build an empire.

The Alpha Kingdom has plenty of room for expansion, and as long as it devours half of the Orc Empire, it will be able to catch up with the Bright Empire back then.

If he did, he would surpass his father, Caesar III and the founding monarch, and become one of the greatest monarchs in the history of the human race.

The emergence of a new goal made Caesar IV look at Hudson more and more pleasantly, and the unpleasantness that had just happened had been completely ignored by him.

It's not that there are no nobles who privately encourage him to be emperor, but those guys are all for their own fame and fortune, and they say all fanciful things, and they completely fool him as a fool.

In contrast, Hudson's inadvertent statement is much more organized, and even the strategic route to achieve the goal has been drawn.

Step 1: Let the Franks and the Holy See become children and divide the countries of the southern continent; Step 2: Complete the Near East Strategy;

Step 3: Establish a separate papacy and control the divine power; Step 4:····

The plan was a little sloppy, but this was in line with a momentary gaffe, and I accidentally said what I really thought in my heart. Seeing this scene, Hudson smiled slightly, and then found a reason to leave.

Whether you are tempted or not, you don't look at what you say, the key is to see what you have done. In many things, once the first step is taken, it is difficult to stop the rest of the day.

Some people died, but not completely......
