"The current situation in the imperial capital is very complicated......"

Hodge sighed heartily, and from the narration of Marquis Bach, he heard the complicated situation in the imperial capital today.

I thought that the three major churches were above everything, saying that they were one and the same, that theocracy was supreme, crushing the imperial power, and that they could do whatever they wanted.

But now it seems that even the Holy Church, which is as strong as the Holy Church, has its own scruples, and is not able to run amok.

Even if there is a true God, the three major churches and the royal family of the Salom Empire are in a state of half-cooperation and half-use.

The true God needs believers and missionaries to stabilize his state against the invasion of evil and the erosion of the extraordinary properties of the higher sequence.

And the Salom Empire needs the protection of the true god and the three major churches to prevent the targeting and destruction of other forces and enemy countries.

The strength of the three major churches has always been very strong, in this era of evil organizations, angel families, and hidden forces, without the protection of the church, there will be many problems in the Salom Empire, and all kinds of evil and strange events will emerge one after another.

"Well, so you have to be careful, don't use the blood cup in front of others, this seal is very powerful and special, it is likely to be sensed by the people of the blood clan, you know, they have a crazy attachment to the blood clan holy relics......"

Marquis Bach looked serious and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Hodge immediately thought of the members of the Blood Moon Party, and the reaction when he heard the whereabouts of the Thirteen Holy Relic Puppets, that kind of fanaticism, that kind of excitement, and that kind of belief could not be faked, once they found out that they also had a Blood Clan Thirteen Holy Relic in their hands, then the consequences were unimaginable!

Hodge nodded and replied, "Yes, father, I see." ”

"Well, and the silver key you always hold in your hand...... It's also very special, it has a great connection with the blood clan and the ancient giants, and don't take it out often, it may be detected by some guys and bring you danger. ”

The Marquis of Bach reminded him again, and then asked, "What are your plans next?" ”

"Princess Leia still doesn't want to say anything?" Hodge asked with a frown.

"Well, she's ready to leave, tonight's events have brought her a lot of shock. Judging from her actions, the people who planned this matter at the top of the empire had a very high status, which made Princess Leia very jealous and did not dare to say anything. Marquis Bach replied softly.

"What about Bernard?"

"Did he choose to hide it too?"

Hodge looked at his father, Marquis Bach, and asked.

"He's also being used, and he doesn't know who is behind it, but he told me a name." Marquis Bach thought for a moment and replied.

"What's the name?" Hodge asked.

"Arnold Abraham." The Marquis of Bach did not hide it and directly said the name.

"Abraham?" Hodge's brow furrowed, his eyes twinkling thoughtfully.

The surname Abraham has a distinctive meaning in the Salom Empire.

Because this surname is the national surname of the previous Abrahamic Empire, that is to say, the Abrahamic family, this surname, represents the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In addition to those Abrahamic members and direct members of the royal family who were destroyed due to national wars, there are still many Abrahams in the imperial capital.

In that year, when Salom I captured the imperial city, Abraham led his subordinates to resist desperately, and the two sides were deadlocked for more than a month, and the army of Salom Empire was unable to break through the city.

At this time, Salom I received the advice of an elder of a certain family, sent someone to infiltrate the imperial city, found the fallen branch of Abraham's family, and promised to give them a fief and let them enjoy the glory and wealth after the deed was completed, on the condition that they would help Salom's army open the gates of the city.

In the face of Salom I's pull, the branch patriarch wanted to refuse, after all, they are all blood relatives of the same ancestry, and this kind of betrayal is despicable and shameful no matter how you say it.

But many people wanted the patriarch to agree to the matter.

Because they could no longer bear the sacrifices of their clansmen and family members, they fought one after another, resulting in heavy casualties among their blood relatives.

The royal bloodline spares their lives, and the members of their own main vein are reluctant to use it, forcing the members of the branch vein to fight and send them to death.

This makes many members of the branch vein disgusted with their own main lineage.

Eventually, the branch agreed to Salom I's request, opened the gates of Granville, and completed the famous Granville Incident in history.

Because of this, Abraham's lineage was preserved, and he was knighted by King Salom I.

"Who is Arnold Abraham?" Hodge briefly sorted out the knowledge about Abraham in his mind.

"He's the mayor of the imperial capital." Marquis Bach looked at Hodge and replied softly.

"City Mayor?"

Hodge didn't know much about this kind of Western official position and power at first, but in order to fit into this era, he still forced himself to learn a lot of relevant knowledge.

Among them are the positions of officials and the corresponding powers and powers.

"Father, he's a nobleman, right?" Hodge asked softly.

The Marquis of Bach nodded his head in affirmation.

The municipal officer, also known as the construction officer, was an official position in the Salom Empire, responsible for the maintenance of public facilities and municipal work, and also had a certain amount of management power over the city's security.

Replaced by the ancient dynasty of Hodge's era, this position is equivalent to Jing Zhaoyin, that is, the mayor of the capital city.

This position, in the Salom Empire, which is not very hierarchical, also belongs to the upper official position.

There is also a special place in this official position, and that is the gilding.

Such officials are often politicians who want to climb the ladder in order to gain political capital and gain important positions in the hearts and minds of the people.

The two current consuls have both served as municipal magistrates.

And the imperial capital is a municipal official, generally there are four people, two commoners and two nobles, who check and balance each other.

This is also the reason why Hodge just asked his father if this person was a nobleman.

"How?"

"How are you going to investigate this?"

The Marquis of Bach knew his son's temper, and he did not intend to stop Hodge's move to find out the truth.

"Let's rest for a while and wait until the coming-of-age ceremony is over."

"This matter can't be rushed, the top of the empire must be trying to hide the evidence and erase the traces of supporting Bernald now, and we are now forcibly investigating this matter, which is undoubtedly a complete turn of face with the top of the empire, which is extremely unfavorable to us."

"It can't be fake, and it can't be fake."

"After the coming-of-age ceremony, I will go to the Imperial Capital Noble School to attend classes, and by the way, I will investigate this municipal magistrate."

Hodge replied with great calmness.

Since he knew that the other party was a high-ranking force in the empire, Hodge didn't plan to make a big move.

It's not that you don't do it, but the time has not come.

A big man who even Princess Léa is extremely afraid of and wants to help hide his identity is not something that Hodge can deal with, his father, Marquis Bach, may have a way to deal with him, but a fierce conflict will inevitably break out, and the fiefdom has just experienced a big war, and it needs time to ease down and recuperate.

This is not the best time to investigate.

"Well, I'm glad you figured that out."

"Hmm...... Before the rite of passage, our family went to the Cathedral of Sérès Riches to pray to God that He would bless you with good health and freedom from disease and disaster. ”

"Yes, father." Hodge didn't refuse, and the people from the church were of great help to their family this time, and they really had to make a trip.

Marquis Bach patted Hodge lightly on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll go to rest, you can finish dealing with it, and rest early, I haven't slept all night." ”

"Hmm." Hodge snorted.
