A few days later.

Shen Jian, who had finished handling the affairs of the Duke's Palace, put down the quill in his hand and faced a pile of documents that had already been browsed.

He seemed to be thoughtfully sorting out the information he had read in the past few days.

This is the second time he has entered the Eli Empire, and the last time, he successfully became the son of the Temple of Elim as a church priest, making a good start.

But he didn't know much about the situation in Luo Yutian.

It is only known that the Eli Empire has a division between royal power and divine power, and the proportion of divine power is extremely high, and nearly two-thirds of the people in the kingdom more or less believe in glorious ghosts and gods.

In the beginning.

Shen Jian thought this was very strange.

After all, no matter which dynasty it is placed in, the king of a country will not allow a theocratic organization whose prestige overshadows the royal power in the territory under his own jurisdiction, and there are only two outcomes in this situation.

One: royal power devours divine power.

Second: never die.

However......

This is not true in the Eli Empire.

The royal power and the divine power have reached a strange balance, and together they divide the second Luo Yutian.

Right now......

Shen Jian knew the reason.

Eli Empire, can't beat the Temple of Elim.

Yes.

It's that simple.

The Radiant Ghost God is the oldest ghost god in the horror world, a supernatural spirit born from faith, and has the strength to be infinitely close to the catastrophic ghost god.

Its strength is completely comparable to Emperor Qing in his heyday, and it is a terrifying existence that can push half of the Eli Empire sideways.

And the royal family of the Eli Empire, the king is not even a world-destroying ghost god.

Compared with Emperor Qing, who is the only ghost in Qingguo, the king of the Eli Empire is too stretched, no wonder the four holy families can restrain the royal family, and no wonder the nobles in the four major realms of the kingdom have such great autonomy, and even laws can be formulated...... The royal family's crotch pulling is the most fundamental reason.

If it is said that the first Qing Guo of Luo Yutian is a complete centralized system, all power belongs to the emperor alone; Then this second place is the Eli Empire, which is a castrated version of the feudal monarchy, with decentralized power and local nobles standing on their own.

If it weren't for the Radiant Ghost God and the Elim Temple, this kingdom would not be able to match the Qing Kingdom.

Shen Jian groaned slightly.

Looking at it this way, the threat of the royal family is actually not too big, and what really needs to be paid attention to is the four holy families.

There are no world-destroying ghosts and gods in the Eli Empire, but there are more than a plural number of ghosts and gods that are infinitely close to this level.

There is one king, and so are the four holy dukes.

And whether there is more in the shadows, no one knows.

However, Shen Jian speculated that there were probably more than ten ghosts and gods of this level.

Only in this way can he barely fight against a world-destroying level ghost god.

In other words, he only needed to have the four holy families on his side, and it would be easy to overthrow the king's rule.

At that time.

He would be able to smoothly control the second Luo Yutian in his own hands without worrying about civil strife, thus distracting the energy of the underworld to maintain his rule.

Come to think of this.

Shen Jian's gaze fell on the ghost clerk Kali Thiel not far away, and then his eyes glanced slightly, and then fell on the eldest princess Ai Niya.

Meantime.

The appearance of Ghost Duke Hillis flashed in his mind.

Of the four holy families, he has already come into contact with three.

Become the common son-in-law of the four holy families, I wonder if I can get their support?

A hint of intent appeared on Shen Jian's face.

Pondering.

He withdrew his gaze.

Stand up.

"Tyr, I'll leave it to you in the next few days, and I'll take a trip to the East to bring them love and peace."

The ghost clerk gave Shen Jian a blank look.

Love and peace?

She now understands a truth: the words that come out of the mouth of the fourth prince do not necessarily mean superficial meaning.

Last time, the fourth prince also said that he would go to the territory of the Earl of Aino and borrow a few ghost craftsmen to develop, but the result was that he killed the earl's territory and carried out naked coercion and temptation.

This love and peace, I'm afraid, is not a serious meaning.

But she didn't say much.

Today's fourth prince is no longer the infamous, absurd and indulgent waste prince he was ten days ago, he is now the favorite to kill the Duke of Elk, occupy Eagle City, and soon become the lord of the South.

His command is greater than heaven.

……

Soon.

Shen Jian left the Duke's Palace.

The Grand Princess followed.

Perhaps because she knew that this trip was dangerous and abnormal, today's sister-in-law was wearing a different dark tunic horse men's dress, and only a pair of sickly pale jade arms were bare all over her body, and a handkerchief was placed on her chest, which looked very chic and capable.

Merely......

The high bulge of the proud capital and the curvaceous buttocks make her feminine features undoubtedly exposed, adding a bit of uniform seduction.

Shen Jian couldn't help but look at it twice.

Such a heroic appearance, he had only seen it in the ghost duke Xilis.

Even the ghost clerk Cali Teil, who was also dressed in men's clothes, couldn't show such a temperament.

"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful, if it were me, I would definitely not send such a beautiful sister-in-law out and fight alone when others do not know good or evil."

Shen Jian smiled and said casually.

"Fortunately, I only have respect for my sister-in-law, otherwise I would have changed to the second brother and the third sister, I am afraid that I would have imprisoned you in the dungeon a long time ago, humiliated in every way, and obtained more information."

Hear this.

The eldest princess Iniya paused.

There has also been a slight change in her pretty face.

Shen Jian seemed to suddenly wake up, and said with annoyance: "No, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to say bad things about the eldest brother, the eldest brother may also have something unspeakable, I just think that if it were me, I would definitely not be willing to let my sister-in-law come out to suffer this kind of grievance." ”

As he spoke.

Shen Jian paid attention to the expression of the eldest princess.

Sure enough.

Under this remark, the expression of the eldest princess and sister-in-law became even more wrong, and she became a little low.

I don't know if I thought of something.

Shen Jian was like a child who had made a mistake, and comforted him with some grievances: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, but what I said is true, you are the person I respect the most, if Brother Wang makes you suffer any unfair treatment, I will definitely help you out." ”

Along.

The eldest princess Ai Niya's mood was not high, and Shen Jian was also comforting, and by the way, he brought out a lot of obscure bad words about the eldest prince.

What, "If Brother Wang doesn't care about you, there are naturally others who care about you." ”

What "I don't want you guys to quarrel because of me." ”

What "Sister-in-law is such a good woman, if I were your husband, I would definitely be reluctant to let you suffer." ”

The more you say.

The more Shen Jian found out, the eldest princess's favor towards him began to slowly increase.

Although the increase is not much, it has reached 20 favorability.

on this.

The smile on Shen Jian's face became even brighter.

It is much more difficult to slander her husband in front of a female ghost who can distinguish all lies, and to pass on his good thoughts about her by the way, than to catch a ghost.

But......

It works quite well.

……

It's on the way.

Shen Jian soon came to the eastern realm.

According to the information of the ghost clerk, due to the special division of forces in the eastern realm, the ten directors of the noble Freemasons live in a city, and with this city as the core, they decentralize decision-making.

And this city, called Winterfell.

Winterfell is the heart of power in the East.

It has the most powerful heritage in the East, like Eagle City, where the Duke of Elk is located, although it is the largest territory in the South, but after all, there is only one duke's power stationed here.

The armed forces possessed are not even as large as the 4000 conquest army.

Winterfell, on the other hand.

The core of the eastern territory is stationed here, and the garrison force of just one city is more than 30,000.

The number of top ghost kings is more than double digits.

Even if it is a ghost god, there are three or four statues who live here for a long time.

In Shen Jian's mind, he immediately recalled the information of the ten directors.

That's when it happened.

The eldest princess, who had not been in a high mood all the way, suddenly spoke: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, if you want to interview the ten directors of the Eastern Realm, you can't attract the attention of the second prince, and you can't appear in Winter City openly, and it's even more impossible to expose your identity." ”

"If you wish, it's best to report it in my name."

Hear this.

Shen Jian was slightly stunned.

I thought about it.

said with a serious expression: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, if you report it in your name, what is the difference between the effect and my personal visit?" Once you use it, it will be difficult for you to come up with Winter City again, what is the difference between this behavior and the eldest brother? I'm not going to do that. ”

Although he didn't know why the eldest princess in front of him figured out why she wanted to help him, he wouldn't miss this kind of opportunity to obviously brush up his favorability.

Not to mention.

He hadn't thought about it in the first place.

Naturally, he was full of sincerity.

The eldest princess Ai Niya looked at Shen Jian, and her deep emerald eyes lit up slightly...... Truth.

See here.

There was more kindness in her eyes.

[Friendship +1.] 】

[Friendship +1.] 】

[Friendship +1.] 】

【……】

"Without the name of you and me, it is not easy to enter the Earl's Court, the Marquis's Palace, what other way can you meet these ten directors? Didn't you say that you need to convince the nobles of the East to give up targeting the South as soon as possible? If it drags on for a while, it won't be too big to take it. ”

The eldest princess asked.

Shen Jian paused.

Thinking of this good sister-in-law's sense of justice, he immediately said: "Sister-in-law, do you know what the way of the unequaled assassin is?" ”
