68 The Truth About York
Standing not far from the two of them, the Duke of Anjou was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and touched his chin.
Thinking carefully about some of the findings she had seen during her previous investigation, she felt that the speculation of the old voodoo magician still had some truth.
And yet—
"Demon Andy...... This old guy is too good at. ”
The Duchess muttered to herself.
Demons are born in hell, and the authority of the empire does not come from the nest.
The empire is an empire because it has countless glorious histories and glories, and is unanimously recognized by many powers.
How did this recognition come about?
The main source is to suppress hell, prevent the infiltration of dark forces, and use iron-blooded means to constantly clean up all extremely unstable factors in the territory......
Navy, Army, Air Force, and even Space Forces.
Obviously it already belongs to the country of the world hegemon, why does the empire still raise troops on a large scale and station troops everywhere?
The reason, of course, is not to maintain hegemony, but to maintain the basic order of most of the world.
Hell is invisible, and those hellish lives appear in a variety of places.
Deep ocean, underground, in the clouds, and even extra-atmospheric......
This is the reason why the Duke of Anjou led the Dragoon Legion to be stationed in the uninhabited Pacific islands.
In other words, the Empire's understanding of hell is extremely deep.
And why the old guys of Voodoo are talking nonsense involves the current empress.
The empress from the grassroots rose to rise in the military, and the main way for the military to make meritorious contributions was to eradicate the invasion and infiltration of the forces of hell.
To put it simply, the Empress's knowledge of life in hell is absolutely top in the world!
Even her ascension is related to the forces of hell.
In the time of the empress's "father-in-law", that is, the old emperor, there was serious chaos within the empire.
The reason is that a devilish grand duke who walks the world secretly constantly provokes forces from all sides, and even demagogues the royal family, creating an unjust and wrongful case, which boils public resentment and greatly weakens the authority of the empire.
In the end, Her Majesty the Empress, who was born in the army, set things right, "Qingjun side", "fake marriage", and "yellow robe".
A combination of punches, with great prestige successfully usurped the throne, and then slaughtered the Raymonds royal family to the point that only one seedling remained, this can be regarded as stabilizing the situation.
It also completely cut off the life support of the devil Grand Duke and lifted the chaos.
The Devil's Grand Duke and the Demon Grand Duke are not the same thing.
The former is much more difficult to deal with than the latter, and it is much better at camouflage.
And how old was the empress back then?
Not less than twenty years old, just like a little girl!
She is now in her thirties.
Therefore, although it was found that Andy was very abnormal, his ability was completely inconsistent with his upbringing.
But if Andy is really a demon archduke who appears in the empress's field of vision, he may hide from her eyes?
What a joke!
However, although Andy can't be, this demon archduke ......
The other two people in the room didn't know that someone was eavesdropping not far away at this time.
As soon as Andy's judgment that he was the Grand Duke of the Devil appeared, the conversation between the two sides came to a standstill, and they remained silent for a while.
Until Father Matthew, whose face was pale and his heart was full of fear, for fear of being played with by the devil after death, suddenly realized something.
"If Andy is really the demon archduke, then his plan to get to the hinterland of the royal family of York may not be to threaten the royal family, but to pass through something within the royal family...... Awaken his being? ”
"I guess so." The old spellmaster in the mirror replied.
"But since this possibility has been guessed by us, then this matter ......"
Muttering, the paleness on the priest's face faded and turned a little excited, "Then we can report this matter to the Empire!" ”
"The Demon Grand Duke is about to appear, but we have detected a clue, if this thing is true, how much credit must it be?"
"Yes, this kind of great merit may be received by Her Majesty the Empress."
Seeing that the normally calm student became so excited, the old spellmaster smiled at him.
"Compared to this glory, what are the benefits of your previous plan for the transfer of the York family?"
"We could have it all!"
Matthew immediately said that he didn't think that what he had done before was meaningless.
But unconsciously, his attention had now shifted to the matter of the Demon Duke.
"The power of the empire was able to crush a devilish grand duke back then, why was it able to cause large-scale chaos later?"
"It is precisely because the Raymonds royal family was not aware of the existence of that devil archduke in the early stage, so they were bewitched step by step, and let that devil archduke increase their strength and control power step by step, and finally fell into a crazy situation."
"Although this demon is a little weaker at the moment, if he is allowed to awaken and continue to regain his strength, the empire will inevitably encounter another large-scale chaos."
"And now, we have a chance to stop it......"
The priest began pacing back and forth in the bedroom, his mind constantly thinking.
"Josia York!"
Someone suddenly occurred to him.
"When I first met Andy at the hotel, when I mentioned the name, Andy had an unusual interest in him."
"The matter of the Demon Grand Duke must have something to do with this last king of York!"
"It's not just about him, it's about the entire York family!"
Under the smiling gaze of the old man in the mirror, Father Matthew in the bedroom paced quickly, his expression abrupt, as if he had understood everything.
"I didn't give gifts because I didn't think that a single steward of the royal family could control the appointment of bishops in the local evangelical church."
"As a result, I failed, and I thought that the local church was rotten to the bone and complicit with the royal family of York."
"Now that I think about it, it did."
"But what is the reason for my failure?"
"It's not that I didn't give gifts, but I won't be controlled by the royal family!"
The more he spoke, the more agitated his tone became.
"The royal family of York knows about the Demon Grand Duke and constantly conceals all traces of its existence!"
"But in order to do this, the royal family must make the evangelical church, which is good at dealing with the forces of hell, not aware of the slightest suspicion."
"It's something you can't do!"
"So they turned to interests, conspiracies, and even hard-line means to collude with the local church leadership, bind them, and even hollow them out!"
"Why was Norman able to defeat me and become a bishop?"
"It's not because he gave a gift, but because he's mediocre, he's incapable, has no prestige, he's old and confused, and he's a very suitable target."
"As it turned out, he was later set aside......
Speaking of the past injustice, the priest couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse.
"The people of the Yorks, all of them deserve to die!"
