Chapter 744: The Wolf Smoke of War

While Lucia was taking a leisurely nap, Sophia was not so leisurely, and in the mansion that Heberis had prepared for the Khiva envoys, Sophia looked at the letter in her hand with a serious face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Sophia was only here to coordinate relations between Khiva and Heberis with the envoys. Although she originally wanted to refuse, she finally agreed to the envoy's request driven by a sense of responsibility, after all, she is also a member of the royal family no matter what, and she has been idle recently.

According to the original plan, Sophia could finish her work and return to the castle today, but the sudden secret letter disrupted the original plan.

Scrolls made of bipedal wyvern vellum are topped with magic used as markers and encryption, and transported in a small winged monster called a Owl, which is the most common MeSign specification.

Although the bipedal Wyvern paper is not only difficult to write, but the rough paper also makes it difficult to distinguish the words written on it, the advantage is that the compatibility of magic can make the magic applied on it more stable and reliable, coupled with the extraordinary toughness and cutting resistance, it also reduces the chance of accidental damage to MeSign.

If there is any difficulty, it is probably that the beast used to transmit the secret letter is more and more unscrupulous in using rough methods to transport the goods because the goods are too tough. For example, the beast that sent the secret letter to Sophia entered directly through the window, and although the letter was not damaged, the beast itself screamed in pain because of a lot of broken glass inserted into its body.

It can only be said that although these little things have the intelligence to use for pranks, they do not have the intelligence to think about their own safety.

Reading the sandpaper-like letter from cover to cover again, Sophia closed the letter and looked at the envoy beside her.

"Can you be sure of the authenticity?"

This is a bit redundant, and it is impossible for a message that is not confirmed to be transmitted in such a way that is used only in an emergency, so there can be absolutely no error in the content of the letter.

Even though she knew, Sophia still asked the question, not because of distrust, but because the message was too much for her to accept.

The envoy who had confronted the dragons during the assault on the capital of Heberis also nodded solemnly, the burns peeking through the gaps in the bandages on his face made him look quite bold.

"The stakes are high, and the Ministry of Intelligence can't go wrong in this kind of matter, and if it's not reassuring, Heberis will receive the same news soon, and it will be certain when the time comes. ”

The envoy also did not want to believe it, but had to force himself to accept the reality.

"Such news...... There is no need to hide it. ”

This is undoubtedly the last answer Sophia wants to hear.

Sighing, Sophia rudely closed the scroll in her hand.

"What the hell are those idiots in the Holy See thinking?!"

The envoy understood the anxiety of Her Royal Highness the princess very well, and if it weren't for the sake of maintaining etiquette in front of Her Royal Highness, he would definitely insult those bastards with abnormal brains with more vicious words than Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The reason why the two behaved like this was because of the contents of the scroll, as well as the other hand-copied notice scrolled in the scroll. The proclamation from Sindoria, issued by Abraham Morgan, who was crowned the sixteenth Pope, is a religious nonsense, but both the proclamation itself and the Intelligence Ministry's summary point to a problem......

The Holy See intends to wage war against the entire human community.

As the only religion in human society that has been recognized by all countries, although the Holy See does not have a territory in the true sense, its power is not to be underestimated, one-fifth of the human race is its followers, not only boasting, but even the Holy See itself has a good military force.

There is no doubt that once the Holy See really provokes a war, things will become very troublesome, quite troublesome. It is not that the choir and the Inquisition have a power comparable to that of the state, but it will have a considerable negative impact on the already unstable situation.

But......

"Is the new pope's head okay?"

Sophia is seriously thinking about this.

"Where is the military power from the Holy See to start a war?"

The rulers of the kingdoms are not stupid, and while acknowledging the legitimacy of the Holy See, they also restrain and contain this religious organization, after all, no one wants their power to be threatened by these illusory doctrines and gods.

In such a situation, the only force at the disposal of the Holy See is the Inquisition, the Choir, and the Knights of the Oracle, at least on the surface.

No matter how good the choir is, how pious the Knights of the Oracle is, and how crazy the Inquisition is, it is impossible to rely on these to achieve victory against the entire human society, and even to gain an advantage is delusional, after all, the size of the army is too different.

It is impossible for the new pope not to understand this simple method of addition and subtraction, but even then he still chooses to start a war, then the inside story is intriguing.

In any case, it is now necessary to wait for the next step of intelligence to make a judgment.

Sophia handed the scroll to the messenger and commanded.

"Send this to Wintercastle as soon as possible, and hand it over to Leonardo, and then let the royal capital arrange it. ”

Originally, this secret letter should have been sent directly to the royal capital, but the Ministry of Intelligence sent it to Sophia on its own initiative, although she could understand their painstaking efforts, but Sophia didn't want to make her brother unnecessarily suspicious because of these things.

The messenger was silent for a moment before taking the scroll with both hands and bowing his head in reply.

"Yes. ”

This gesture that clearly stated her position and attitude made Sophia want to sigh. She was proud of the strength and loyalty of the people of Shiva, but at some times she was also a headache for it.

Shortly after the messenger left, there was a knock on the door of the room, and in a rude way that could be misunderstood, indicating that the person knocking on the door was either deliberately finding fault or was so anxious that he could not even take care of etiquette.

Sophia didn't care about this rude way of knocking, for there was only one person who would knock on her door in this way.

"You should have received the news that the Holy See is preparing to start a war, right? ”

Earl of Fat Pig...... No, it's the Fat Pig Prince now, and he crept into the room through the crack in the door as soon as it opened, and that obscene appearance could easily have led people to think that he had a bad plan.

Sophia, who was quite understanding of Prince Pig's feelings, nodded, and even she was very surprised when she learned the news, let alone Prince Pig.
