Chapter 20: Muddy Waters

Gray was a little surprised, anyway, it was unlikely that the various forces that had just experienced the beast tide would start a civil war so soon.

Austin smiled and said, "We have a shrine maiden, Charlotte's matter, although the saint acquiesced to our affairs, but if the church does not plan to block E, this will undoubtedly become a reason for war, justifiable and reasonable." Won't let us go. Since there is no negotiation, it is only a matter of time before the war starts, and this time in Scati, I have done too high-profile, and they should report to the church and find me trouble. ”

"Your Highness, leave with me, although we can't compare to the strength of the church, but we may not be without the strength to fight. Gray said.

"If I don't go back, they'll focus some of their attention on me, and I guess I'll help the town with something. I'll see if I can finally lead to a partnership. ”

"But won't the church go after you directly?" asked Gray.

"In any case, I am also a prince, I am really in the royal capital, not in the holy city, and they will not kill me like this. Austin said.

"Well, Your Highness, it's really not good, you go to the Holy Maiden, she shouldn't let you die. Gray said suddenly.

"Well, I see, just in case, you'll be on your way later. Austin said.

After saying that, Austin looked at Gray in some surprise, if this sentence was said by Hawthorn, Austin would not be surprised, but Gray should not say this.

When Gray saw Austin's eyes, he knew why Austin looked like this, and after smiling bitterly, he explained: "If you fall into the hands of other people in the church, there is a chance that you will die, but only the saint will not kill you." At least it will save its life. ”

“...... Okay, you don't care about me. Got it, let's take someone and leave. The affairs of the royal capital will be entrusted to me, and the two sides will help each other in this. Austin said.

"Yes," Gray prepared to take Scati away.

Austin came to the Grand Duke's mansion, and because he had been here a lot before, he knew a secret passage and easily entered it.

"Uncle, it's been a long time. When the Grand Duke came back, he saw Austin sitting in the study, eating fruit slowly, and when he saw the Grand Duke come back, Austin said hello to the Grand Duke.

After looking around, the Grand Duke found that there was no one, indicating that the other party did not alarm anyone when he came in, although he was a little surprised, but he did not take this matter to heart, and said, "Austin, you should not come back." ”

"Well, why, it's not that the king is seriously injured, everyone is here to see who can become the king, and I'm going to try too, uncle, who are you supporting?" Austin asked.

"It's not you anyway, hurry up and get out of here, go back to your town, and finally make sure your life is still alive." The Grand Duke said.

"The eldest brother and the second brother will definitely not be so kind, those two have a very bad conscience, and many of my forces have been bought by them, and they almost killed them. can save a life, so it should be the third brother. Austin said.

The Grand Duke's face changed when he heard this, and he asked, "I'll let me go, I want to save your life, that prince doesn't give face?" It may not be the third prince. ”

"Didn't the third brother rectify the remnants of the army at the border? Like me, did he come privately? That is an opportunity, aren't you afraid of being assassinated?" Auster completely ignored the Grand Duke's words, and continued to ask.

"Don't look for your own death, it's for your mother's sake, and when I say to you at the end, I don't see you. Get out of the royal capital. The Grand Duke said, turning and leaving.

"There is a batch of gunpowder in the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, and the second prince is negotiating with them and preparing to buy it. The power of gunpowder, I think you also know, of course, the real threat is that the use of gunpowder is really simple, once this batch of gunpowder is taken by the second prince, there will be a rather threatening military force, even if the army in the hands of the second prince is vulnerable now, the rabble that does not need to be paid attention to will become tricky. Austin calmly told the big news.

The Grand Duke, who had planned to leave, stopped when he heard Austin's words. Turning back and asking, "How do you know?" "The Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce sold a batch of gunpowder to the army before, that is, this batch of gunpowder, so that the somewhat careless kingdom army repelled the demonic beast after the city wall was lost. Therefore, all the forces in the royal capital want to get these things. However, he has not reached any results in discussing the gunpowder matter with the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce so far.

The other party also attaches great importance to gunpowder, so the Grand Duke was not surprised by this result, but was just negotiating slowly. However, when I heard such a news at this time, I asked with some skepticism.

"Well, I got the identity of a branch president of this Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, and some of their things were not hidden from me. So, know some secrets. Austin said.

"How can you have the status of the branch president of the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce?" the Grand Duke asked suspiciously. Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that has suddenly risen in the past half a year, and its momentum has made everyone a little jealous of this small chamber of commerce, this waste will have something to do with such a mysterious big chamber of commerce.

"Needless to say, of course, it's because I opened the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce's branch in Cross City. Austin said disapprerovingly, "This is not the point, and even the second prince is buying gunpowder. The point is, the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce has gunpowder, the second prince can buy it, and the grand duke can also buy it, isn't it?"

"Well, that makes sense. Don't you keep it to yourself?" asked the Grand Duke tentatively.

"No one, you don't support me, even if you have this, what's the use?" Austin said helplessly, "This is your study, what are you doing when you leave, I'll leave." If you want to cooperate with me, I'll go to the hotel of the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, just look for me there. ”

After eating the last bit of food on his plate, Austin stood up, patted the folds of his clothes, and walked out the door.

"You used to pretend?" the Grand Duke looked at Austin's back, asked suddenly, then patted his head, his eyes slightly fascinated, and said, "You're still not Austin?"

"Well, you guess?" Austin said, looking back and smiling, "and, too, it's not important. ”

"......" The Grand Duke sighed, walked to Austin's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed Austin's face, rubbed it vigorously, and said, "It's not disguise." It really looks like that. ”

After a sigh, the Grand Duke turned and went back, and then said, "One last time, I am persuading you to leave." ”

"Let it be. After Austin finished speaking, he waved his arm with his back to the Grand Duke and left.

Now that the third prince has also surfaced, this time the battle for the king is considered to be everyone's arrival, this water has been completely muddyed, since it is chaotic, it is time to withdraw from here. The church should also deal with it.

Austin came to the church alone, as an ordinary believer, he could only pray in the hall, to be honest, although he knew more or less about the church, but this was the first time to see his existence from the perspective of an ordinary person. As the spiritual support of ordinary people, if you want to make a move against the church, one accidentally causes a backlash from the people.
