The old duchess Oult smiled and said: "Lord Savan, you don't have to play word games in front of me, everyone knows that you are now the de facto ruler of Pesanis, and as for King Vaughn, you are just your puppet." ”

Savan frowned and said: "I can't say that, I haven't interfered in Pesanis's internal affairs, what I do is just maintain the church, in fact, no one in the Holy Army holds an official position in Pesanis, what we do is only help the king maintain order, and besides, it was Cecedo who attacked Hieronis first." ”

"Oh, what is to say about Hironices, I remember that Lord Savan was in Hieronis, but he staged a coup d'état to oust King Malves. Ault continued unrelentingly.

Sawin's heart was nameless, and he said, "What's the matter with this old man? If he has such deep hostility, then why did he invite me to visit the Elshira family......" The more Sawin thought about it, the more he felt that there was a name for himself here, and this old man probably had some premeditated plan, right?

Although Sawan was guessing Oort's intentions in his heart, he refused to back down at all: "The matter of Hieronis is completely a dispute within the royal family, it was King Amberton who carried out the coup d'état, he was originally a royal family, and he ousted Malwes from power, this is all an internal matter of their family, and it has nothing to do with me, I am just entrusted by King Amberton to help him maintain law and order." ”

Seeing that Savan's answer was perfect, Ault couldn't help but be a little impressed by the young man, before they met, he had always thought that Sawin was the kind of person who didn't have any opinions, just a puppet of the church. It was only after meeting him that he discovered that Sawin was a very knowledgeable person, and that he had a unique leadership temperament that he had never seen before, even among his own sons.

However, Ault's concern for Sawan did not disappear because of his personal appreciation of Savan, he paused and continued: "If Savan did not participate in the coup d'état, then what about taking the oath publicly in the Great Templar Church? As far as I know, the Holy Army and the Holy Knights were created by you, the Church is armed with you, and the ministers of Hieronis swore in the Great Sanctuary, if all this has nothing to do with you, I am afraid it is unreasonable, right?"

Seeing that Aort was pressing step by step, Sawan seemed to have to admit that he was the mastermind behind all this, and he didn't know what he was planning in his heart, even if he admitted it, would the old man still ask if he was guilty?

Although he was a little annoyed in his heart, the current Sawan was no longer the hairy boy he used to be, he would not get up and leave because he couldn't talk about a word, he knew what kind of mission he was shouldering on this trip, if he couldn't get Correa to withdraw through diplomatic means, then there would be a big war next, and I don't know how many people would die at that time, which was definitely not what Sawin wanted to see.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, pretending to drink tea to calm himself down a little, and then said: "Lord Aort, I declare once again that I am only the commander of the Holy Religious Army, and I have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and our Holy Religious Army will only fight to maintain peace and order, and we have not destroyed any country so far, I believe this is obvious to all." ”

Savan said this with confidence, which is why he refused to be king in the first place, and once he became king of any country, then the war he started would be regarded as a war of aggression between nations, so that any country could unite against him. And now he is fighting in the name of the Church, and he has not caused any country to disappear from the land, and other countries cannot find an excuse to deal with him even if they are dissatisfied, otherwise it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Church.

In the following conversation, Ault always grabbed the relationship between Sawen and the church, and whether several countries interfered in their internal affairs, but Sawin answered without any flaws, and the two sides were evenly matched, but there was no substantial progress.

Ort's eldest son, Sabot, saw that this was endless, so he reminded Ort: "Father, it's time to prepare dinner." ”

Ault looked up at the sky outside the window and saw that a touch of red glow had already reflected the sky, so he nodded and said, "Okay, today's distinguished guests are tired from coming from afar, so tell your subordinates to prepare a dinner." ”

After speaking, Oult turned to Sawan and said, "Lord Sawen, I have already arranged a room, please change your clothes first, and someone will take you to the banquet hall later." ”

Sawan nodded, "Thank you for your hospitality." With that, Sawan was guided by the servant to his room, and Celia habitually followed Savan, but was stopped by Ort.

"Celia, what's wrong with you?" asked Ort with a smile on his face.

Only then did Celia realize that she had returned to the house and should not go to the guest's room again, she stuck out her tongue at Ort, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry patriarch, I forgot." Sawan smiled and shook his head slightly, before leaving the main hall.

Olt beckoned to Celia and said, "Come on, little girl, tell me about your experience in the past few years." ”

The dinner was sumptuous, but the taste was very different from that of the south, which was heavy and dominated by mutton, which gave Sawan a taste of the strong taste hidden in the character of the northerners. The atmosphere at the dinner was very harmonious, and Oult did not mention anything about politics, but talked to Sawan about the customs of various places.

Seeing that Oort knew all the customs of the mainland, Sawin thought to himself: "It seems that he must have traveled to many places when he was young, and this is a man of great knowledge, no wonder he asks such sharp questions, and he should be more careful." Sawan secretly regretted that he should have brought Alvin with him, so that he could have someone to discuss.

After the dinner, Sawin went back to her room alone, and Celia was invited by the ladies of the family to chat, and after being away for so long, they must have had a lot to talk about. Sawan lay down on the bed and began to think back to the conversation he had with Oult during the day, what was the purpose of this old man, and if he did not understand this, it would be difficult to make substantial progress in the future.

In the final analysis, diplomatic negotiations are to find a balance between the interests of both sides, Savin thought to himself, the purpose of his side is very clear, that is, to let the Elsira family use their influence to make Correa retreat, and he doesn't know what the purpose of the Elshira family is, if he can't figure it out, then no matter how he talks next, it will be in vain, but the old man refuses to say it clearly, he has to let himself guess, is this testing himself?

The next day, Ort did not show up, but asked Selia's father, Albert, to accompany Sawan on a tour of the place, and while Albert introduced Sawin to the castle and monuments of the Elshira family, he quietly asked Sawan about the Holy Army, and also asked a lot of questions about the church.

Naturally, Savin didn't wait for the other party to test him, and he also asked a lot of questions about the Elsira family, and both sides were cautious, either detouring around the bush or simply keeping silent on some key issues, and at the end of the day, he didn't know how much he said, but he still didn't touch on the core issue.

Seeing that it was time for dinner again, Albert said, "Lord Sawan should be tired after a day of shopping, why don't you take a break before the dinner, and I will let you invite you later." ”

Sawin nodded and said, "It's okay, Lord Albert has been with me for a day, and I must have delayed a lot of business, I can do it alone, and I don't have to accompany me anymore." ”

"Whatever Lord Sawan said, you are our most honored guest, and accompanying your lord is the greatest business. Albert said with a smile.

Just as the two were about to say goodbye, Sawan suddenly remembered something, after visiting all day, he didn't see any religious places here, didn't the Elshira family believe in the Holy Religion of Light?

Thinking of this, Samin felt as if he had grasped something......

Today is the New Year, I wish you all a happy life, happiness and health!
