Ranken, the Tower of St. White.

It is the most powerful nine-story magic tower in this world, controlling the power of light and life, but its new owner is precisely using a not too bright means to push his teacher off the altar and seize huge power.

But the white-robed, blonde-haired, handsome Innedir, the new archbishop of the Church of Light, was not very happy with this, because he had had plenty of opportunities to get more.

The Inquisition, such a powerful force, is completely out of its grasp. According to his original expectations, the infighting among the three deputy chief judges of the court should always continue for a while. That's why he put his focus on the war situation in the Snowton Empire, but he didn't expect that the war situation on the mainland would change three times a day, and that hateful evil mage completely disrupted the entire situation, ruining his painstaking planning. Taking this opportunity, Silves actually quietly took control of the entire Inquisition, and he was forced to launch it in advance, although he still succeeded, but it was too far from his expectations.

"Your Excellency, Lord Todd is here. A young white-robed priest walked up to the tower and said.

Innedil frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Let him in." ”

Compared with a year ago, Todd has lost a lot of weight, and his face is even a little haggard.

"Meet the Archbishop. Todd bowed.

"You may be seated, Your Excellency Bishop Todd. Innedil smiled and said softly. This Bishop Todd was not his own direct line, and when he took over as archbishop, he wanted to get rid of him in the adjustment of power, but he found something very interesting that interested him.

"What's the matter? For Todd, who has recently surrendered to him, Innedir still showed a certain amount of kindness.

"That's right...... Your Excellency, Archbishop," Todd hesitated for a moment, but finally confessed. "You should know the truth...... My father is a deputy presiding judge of the Inquisition?"

"Is Vice-President Schiller?" Innedil nodded, "I am very sorry for what happened to him, but I really can't interfere in the affairs of the Inquisition right now. ”

"It's not just this ......," Todd said busily. "Some of my father's hunters defected to me after his tragic death...... Archbishop, what do you see?"

"Oh?" asked Innedir's eyes, "Come, Todd, you and I can tell you about their condition." ”

"There are about five or six hundred of them, mainly mid-to-high-level ......," Todd introduced in detail, and Inedil nodded again and again, and said with a smile. "Todd, you're worried, aren't you?

"Your Excellency the Archbishop is really discerning," Todd nodded with an embarrassed smile, "Now that we are at odds with the Judgment, they are here with me, what should I do, I still hope that His Excellency the Archbishop will give me advice." ”

"Good," Innedil smiled and nodded. "I'm short of that kind of talent, so I'll just leave this group of people to deal with. Of course. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, if there is anything in the future, you can tell me. Todd had a look of unrepentance, and he declared his loyalty.

Inedil doesn't care about this, although Todd is not very strong. But he also needs such people to do things that no one else can. And the most important point is that he has a vendetta against Silves for killing his father, and it is absolutely impossible to betray him, and such a guarantee of loyalty is enough to make up for his lack of strength.

What's more, this Todd is not stupid.

"You've been training in the San Setestian Empire for the same time. Talents like you can't always be buried in that kind of barbaric land, you should be ready to transfer. Inedil smiled slightly, and the gratefulness on Todd's face intensified.

After talking and laughing, Todd said goodbye and left, "Your Excellency, I see that you are also tired, you must pay attention to rest, and your subordinates have retired first." ”

"You're also tired of traveling, I have someone arrange a place for you to live in Ranken, anyway, if you want to be transferred back in two days, let's go and see it first. Innedil smiled and hinted, rang the silver bell, and let one of his subordinates lead him.

Watching Todd walk down the tower with a grateful face, a middle-aged priest with a gloomy face hurriedly walked up, and Innedir frowned and asked, "He still won't say?"

"Yes, Your Excellency," the priest nodded in response, "the old bishop is still silent today. ”

"Do you really expect Silves to come to his rescue, old thing?" said Innedir, snorting annoyed, as he strode back and forth through the hall.

"By the way, Your Excellency the Archbishop," the priest said after a moment of thought, "the newly obtained information, it seems that Bishop Todd, who had just left the Arcter, had been in contact with the evil mage Allegri. ”

"Really?" Innedil shook his head, "it doesn't matter, there's no way he's going to join the mage, it might just be a temporary partnership." ”

"Shall we launch a new operation against Allegri the Evil Mage and the Path of the Lightwalker?" suggested the priest of his cronies.

"There's no need," Innedil sighed and shook his head, "The other day, his magic tower was completed. Although I tried to interfere with it with the power of the 'White Tower' and the 'Holy Eye', I was ultimately unsuccessful. There is no chance of destroying the 'Path of the Lighthopper', so I have to give up. ”

"And now?" the priest wondered.

"Let's stabilize the situation with Silves first, win the support of the ascetic camp and the Cathedral of Cotia, and at least have the upper hand in public opinion, we have an advantage in this regard," Inedir explained his deployment, "With Todd's group of hunters, we will use them as the backbone and the priest as the auxiliary to build an army......"

"But Silves was able to use the demon legion to train his army quickly, and that growth rate was far faster than our ......," the priest hesitated.

"Of course, that's what I thought about. You have to take into account that we can't relax on Allegri's side, there is no way to 'Path of the Lighthopper', but we can oppress the borders of the Principality of Anlan," he snorted coldly, still holding the pearl of wisdom in his words, "As long as you avoid the Knights of the Fire Demon, the ordinary army of the Principality of Anlan is the best testing ground for our newly built army, which can be called killing two birds with one stone." ”

Of course, Allegri didn't know that the person who secretly manipulated the magic tower when he controlled the magic tower was actually Innedir, who controlled the "Holy White Tower", and Onisha also didn't know that the new archbishop had secretly pointed the spearhead of the war here......

The two of them were rejoicing at the imminent opening of the trade road, which meant a steady stream of wealth and an abundant treasury, and the post road built under the tower was about to become a river of gold.

"Don't you need to stay in the ceremony?" said Allegri to the small terrace at the top of the Violet Tower, whispering to Onisha beside her. The towns in the distance were crowded with people, and caravans gathered to be inspected and pay taxes.

"I presided over the morning, and now there are naturally professional subordinate officers to deal with specific affairs, so there is no need for me to stay there. Onissa stretched, revealing her graceful curves, and smiled sideways.

"Snowton's side is ready, right?" Allegri asked.

"Nacini has already coordinated," Onisha introduced, "Even in the 'Path of the Light Walker', I have transferred the Knights of the Fire Demon to guard it, so I must keep it safe. ”

"Don't worry," Allegri said with a smile, the crystal plate on the stone table behind him exuded a faint purple luster, and every move within a range of dozens of miles was under his control, which was also the biggest reliance on him when he said the word "rest assured", "Your Royal Highness, it seems that there is nothing unusual in the nearby area now." ”

"It's up to you to defend this place, my Earl," Onisha sighed, "and I hope that your troops will fill the gap as soon as possible, so that I can mobilize them to the front." ”

"Do you really believe me that?" Allegri whispered, glancing at the Grand Duchess sitting beside him.

"Well...... You guess. Onessa shrugged playfully, but didn't continue.

Exhausted, Illo turned the corner and felt his feet go limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"It's really hard to be gracious......" Illo leaned over with a wry smile, gasping for air, the sound of chasing and shouting of killing behind him getting closer and closer.

"You still have the temperament to laugh, it seems that you are really not miserable enough. A cold female voice sounded beside him, and Illo was slightly stunned, why was this voice so familiar, and he actually felt that he was being lifted horizontally by the collar.

"Bai Ji?" Illo looked up and hurriedly shouted, "I can go, put me down." ”

"Shut up!" Bai Ji glanced at him coldly, and the steel spear he was holding in his other hand slammed into Illo's back.

The writhing half-elf snorted in pain, and then thought that the barbarian girl who was thinner than himself was carrying herself, and she was as easy as lifting a chicken, and it seemed that tearing the bear and tiger alive was really not fake, and she was suddenly silent, and she didn't dare to squeak and crooked.

The wind was whistling in his ears, and it took a while to shake off the pursuers behind him. It wasn't until a secluded woods that Bai Ji threw Illo to the ground.

Patting the dust on his body, Illo slowly got up, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Bai Ji, why are you here?"

"The Commander asked me to come," Bai Ji said coldly, "He estimated that you might be hunted down, and sent many of us to pick you up in the city on the border of Snowton, and I happened to be near here." ”

"Thank you very much, but it doesn't matter if you don't come, I'm going to run away soon," Illo said unashamedly, but after a pause tentatively, "then you say, what should we do?"

"Follow me out of the road!" Bai Ji did not hesitate.

It was so straightforward that Illo was embarrassed, and he could only ask helplessly, "Think about it again, Allegri really didn't tell you anything else?"

"Oh, yes, and this ......" Bai Ji patted his head, pulled a thin mask from his bosom, and threw it over. (To be continued......)
