"Soul?"

The Psychic Warlock lowered his gaze, but as he wished, he reaped the shock of different Cheng Dù in the eyes of the two people.

"Edward...... Uh, I mean, Your Excellency Viscount Vincent, you're not kidding, are you?" His Royal Highness's shock was at that word...... After all, in this world, the problems involving the soul are without exception, and they are taboo for the gods, except for those legendary demon contracts, only necromancy can communicate with them......

"Or, to make your words sound more believable, but ......" Strand's throat slid up and down, trying to make sense of the words in the most conventional way, but the psychic warlock just silently held out a finger and shook it, letting his last hope be disappointed.

"From the very beginning, you have already started collecting souls in the offensive and defensive battles of Hayman City, right? Oh, sorry, maybe I have disturbed your plans a little bit at that time. However, you have burned more than a dozen cities in the Empire, is it not enough to have hundreds of thousands of souls? What a big plan...... Well, I don't ask you how much you need, and you won't actually know the exact numbers. ”

He spoke slowly, his gaze frustrated on Rudolph: "But you might as well try to understand my experience, that this thing is planned, and it will never be done. The bigger the goal, the more often the plan itself will be revised, and I don't think Associate Mentor Edinson will have another plan for such a big plan, so whether the Herman family will fight hard or not, this small deviation is not worth worrying too much about. ”

"No sincerity. ”

"Of course I'm sincere. Not for you, though. You can sue him. I'm willing to cooperate with his plan, and I have my own way of killing people on a large scale. He stood up, his black burqa like a shadow unfurled by God, "And he should know what I want, so if he agrees, then I'll make his job easier." ”

"You're too aggressive. It will only make the plan fall short, and now, it is not just the Temple of Dawn that is eyeing our actions!"

Rudolph narrowed his eyes, and there was not much anger in his blue-gray pupils, but his voice was sharper: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused us? And then you deliberately lure them out again, and now you say that you can cooperate with our actions? How do I know that you are not playing with boring lies?"

"I don't need you to judge this matter, as long as Associate Mentor Edinson recognizes my sincerity, that's enough. ”

Edward shook his head:

"Also, I'll give you a little bit personally. The idea of trying to appease all the people is too idealistic, and the interests of each temple cannot be the same, and it is too difficult to appease them all, so you might as well set up an enemy for them. In this way, they can be kept to disagree. Unite to help you achieve your purpose. ”

"We are at war with the Empire!"

"That's not enough...... It was just a secular battle for power, and the temple was never involved. ”

"You want ...... Propaganda Empire harbors evil gods?"

The Psychic Warlock's words made Rudolph stunned, but then he sneered: "Which temple do you think will believe this kind of obvious lie? When do you think it is now? The War of the Dead 5,000 years ago, or the Dark Ages 10,000 years ago? Now you are going to go there to find an evil god who can control a country?"

"Quite simply, part of the temple of Lansendel. Alternatively, there are partial shrines of some other deities. ”

"Nonsense!"

"I thought you weren't too smart, but at least you weren't stupid, and you should be able to understand some simple questions, but I didn't expect ...... Gee. ”

The psychic warlock no longer paid attention to the change in the demonic wolf's expression from shock to anger, and only raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "The empire has been peaceful for a long time, and an overly comfortable life will inevitably breed **, even a sacred place like a temple cannot avoid such erosion." Corruption, bribery, greed for power, attachment to the world, connivance with evil, and even the company of evil! Such a temple is no longer a place for spreading God's will, but has become a filth that nourishes evil! A defiled faith will not be contained by the gods, so in this battle, nay, this holy war, our task in Tumenes is to clarify these rotten scum and bring the faith back to the right path. ”

"Edward ......"

The young prince sighed as he spoke, feeling a deep chill pass over his heart. He looked at the man standing across from him, the face hidden in the shadow of the hood, or because he was used to the mage's robes, his skin had taken on a faint pale, even a little strange, only the eyes were still as bright as he remembered, sharp, firm, unshakable as a rock. Even deeper, lurking some kind of mystery that he couldn't understand.

Just as he is no longer James, the country nobleman of Xifengyi, the young man in front of him is no longer the Edward he is familiar with, the little hunter who only has a little cunning, a little martial arts, and a little ambition.

"You don't have to think too much about it, you don't have to want to be part of the game, it's not your domain. Save yourself, you're halfway through the battle, and time is on your side, James. ”

The voice of the Psychic Warlock immediately sounded in his ears, causing the young prince to raise his head, but he could only see the tumbling black robes disappear at the door of the tent.

"Save yourself...... Do you want me to wait?"

Nothing needs to be done, just wait, waiting for you, or whom, to deliver victory to me?

How is that possible?

Victory can only be won by yourself...... Only what you grasp with your own hands is what really belongs to you, and the fruit sent by others is no matter how sweet it is. It's nothing but mercy...... And mercy is destined to be at some point before you are old. Disappear completely, leaving no trace!

My qiē should be my stuff......

Staring at the shadow that had disappeared from view, the young prince silently clenched his fists, and secretly engraved his oath in his heart, my battle, I will win the victory that belongs to me.

......

Well, own battles. And how to win?

Slowly pacing through the chaotic barracks, the psychic mancer's mind pondered his plans.

Thomas's purpose, undoubtedly, though it was only something that Edward had come up with not so long ago...... But collecting souls should be just a process.

War is undoubtedly the most convenient and quick way to harvest souls. People who die in war, whether in anger, grief, terror, or despair, are hardened by being in extreme situations. At this time, the possibility of them being bound by faith will be greatly reduced, after all, although everyone in this world claims to have a faith, the process of faith is also divided into high and low, most of the ordinary people. Most of the beliefs are pan-beliefs, and after death, they are more likely to be led astray.

And such souls, in the lower realms. Undoubtedly the most popular thing.

Is it the plan of the demons? It's like a lot of legends for tens of thousands of years. Souls are the resources that the demons are striving for, their food, or soldiers, are produced from these countless souls, and the River Styx has given them a fixed quota, but it cannot satisfy their ambitions, so whoever has more soul resources will have an advantage in that eternal war.

However, this reason could not convince the psychic mancer himself.

There is no need for demons to spend such a lot of time, they can directly use some small-scale wars to achieve their goals, such as luring an imperial duke to rebel, compared to a ** division-level figure, the price that a mortal can offer is undoubtedly much lower.

If Thomas himself made a deal with the devil in order to seek power, then what kind of result would these tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of souls, be exchanged for?

Just kidding, if demons had that kind of thing, would they give it to a mere human?

The answer is still a mystery.

But fortunately, even if you can't understand the purpose of the other party, it doesn't prevent you from relying on their power. Since Thomas has made such a big deal, then the soul he wants should not be a mere 350,000 people, as long as this war sweeps more than a dozen cities, then Edward is sure that it will deal a big blow to Lansendel's church!

What's more, with the character of a blazing god servant, would she watch the entire Big 6 fall into the flames of war and ignore it?

If you can also take the opportunity to get back that piece of royal power from Thomas's hands, why not?

As for the casualties in the war......

That wasn't on Edward's radar. This time, Tumenes's war against the Empire was provoked by Thomas alone, and since it had already begun, the Mentor would not let it stand still unless he had achieved his goal. The progress of harvesting souls, fast or slow, does not affect the nature of the war, and the faster it is, it is the best way to end the war, of course, if the most effective means is indeed to kill Thomas, once and for all, and Edward is always looking for such an opportunity - but that old guy is as cunning as a fox, powerful, and has an artifact that can create a half-plane, and it is not so simple to kill him.

So, give it a try, cooperate with him for the time being, give him a little sweetness, and see if you can find his flaws.

At the end of the thoughts in my heart, my small camp has been recorded in front of me.

However, when he entered the tent, Edward noticed that there was only one person inside—Claudia standing at the simple wooden table, seemingly waiting for him. "What's the matter?" he asked, but before he could finish speaking, the knight was already on her knees—one knee to the ground, with her head buried deep in her knees, the most respectful etiquette a knight had for a lord in this era.

"Thank you, host. She spoke.

"Well, it's nothing, I'm just making things the way they are. You're not supposed to be a criminal in the first place. ”

Edward was slightly stunned, then smiled. Stepping forward, he put his arm around the woman's shoulder. Pulled her up from that odd position: "What's more, it's mainly for my own breath, that bastard turned on the defense of Hayman City at the beginning, if it weren't for luck, I almost hung ......up"

There was a sudden pause in his voice.

It seemed that something seemed to be stuck in his heart, making Edward want to sigh.

yes, if it weren't for that inexplicable escape. He probably wouldn't have been seriously injured and dying, and Elena wouldn't have traded a pact with Ariel to save his life with the power of that damn celestial creature...... Yiqiē's affairs may not become so troublesome, he may still be eating and drinking in the magic academy, or slowly engaging in Xiao Ming in his own territory. A qiē is a breeze.

Unfortunately, life never has a chance to be possible, and when every fork in the road is passed, it is destined to never be able to choose again. This world is so vast and boundless, only time is fair to everyone. Never give him a penny to explore and experience.

Or can you, of course, your own strength already break the shackles of time, and everything is destined to be different?

Edward's smile grew bitter. Because it suddenly occurred to him that if he focused on the improvement of his strength as soon as possible. Well, or something. There will be additional changes.

Taking a few deep breaths, he put aside all the cluttered thoughts in his mind, fantasizing about other possibilities, or a beautiful thing, but in the face of reality, these were destined to be meaningless conjectures, and he didn't have much time to waste on such things now.

"However, if it weren't for him, I would still be just an ordinary knight guarding the border, or I would have met you only once, and then I would never think of someone again, right?"

"Oh, yes, if it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have been able to get such a powerful and beautiful guard, so he would have some effect?" Edward laughed.

"Thank you for the compliment, host. The knight hung her head, but she couldn't hide the flush that suddenly appeared on her face.

She had to take a few steps back, hold her chest and breathe deeply, and only after a half-rattle did she finally look up, but her beautiful red eyes immediately froze - the golden sunlight that emerged from the gap in the tent with the tap of the telemancer's finger was like a bay of water, transforming in the air, outlining a three-dimensional sand table of a small plain.

"Master, are we going to war?"

"Yes, it seems that this time I have to move, but I don't know anything about war, so I may have to rely on you, for example, if that enemy is going to fight a battle, what will he do?" Edward stretched out his hand and pointed, and the light in front of him twisted and turned in the air, and one side of the sand table was covered with an army.

But when he turned his gaze, he noticed the female knight's strange look.

It's exciting, exciting, but with some uneasiness......

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm just a little happy...... Because I have never done anything for my master, my strength is too weak, and I have not been able to help my master, but I often ask my master to do something for me. Claudia inhaled softly and said slowly: "Fortunately, the matter of leading the troops is still something I am good at. And now, my master has given me this opportunity, and I swear to the Red Knight, the goddess of war, that I will never fail to live up to your expectations. ”

"Oh, you believe in the Red Knight? Edward raised his eyebrows, "Okay, you can tell me about your estimate of the enemy and your opinion of us." ”

Wait a minute –

"Your Excellency the City Lord, someone outside wants to see you, and he said that he has sent a new appointment to your Excellency the General. ”

"Appointment?" (To be continued.) Please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
