Chapter XIX Scati III

"What? The Holy Maiden of the Church is a Shrine Maiden!" Scati was stunned by the news, it was clear that the organization that had been persecuting the Shrine Maiden all along, and the high-ranking people inside it would actually be a shrine maiden. Whatever the reason, Scati couldn't help but clench his hand tightly.

"I don't know the reason for this, but your rampage constitution is too terrifying, and if you don't make good use of your abilities, this ability will cause massive damage, so someone needs to study how to minimize the possibility of rampage, after all, no one wants to be with someone who doesn't know when to go berserk. This, you need to understand. Austin knew why Scati was like this, when he felt that the whole world was an enemy, only people who were also witches would be his own people, and at this time he found that the biggest enemy turned out to be his own people, and he would have a feeling that he had been betrayed by the world.

"Can you talk to the church about something like this? The church seems to take this very seriously, and even if you are a prince, they will not talk about it. Scati quickly sensed Austin's words, and seemed to have no ill feelings towards the church, knowing a lot of the church's secrets, and said.

"We should be regarded as companions with the church, at least the purpose is the same, the magic forest and future disasters are our biggest enemies, so we are all partners, regardless of status, I have to say, I think, we are stronger than the church. So, we don't need to estimate what the other person hates, and we don't need to please them. Austin said.

Scati was puzzled by Austin's words, "No, except for the Empire, who can say that it is stronger than the Church, whether it is a single force or an army, it must be at the head of all forces." How can we be stronger than the church?"

Austin smiled and said, "You'll know when you get to town." ”

When Scati was about to say something, Gray, who was disguised, came over and whispered to Austin: "My lord, I have already been in contact with the second prince, in the name of Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, to discuss the supply of gunpowder with the second prince, and during the conversation, it was found out that the second prince has a team, near the royal capital, ready to get rid of other competitors at any time." ”

"The words of the eldest prince have taken control of the Praetorian Guards of the royal capital. The king estimated that it was gone before he had time to leave his last words, I didn't come to the town, and the third prince was rectifying the remnants of the army at the border, so the royal capital was already the place where the eldest prince and the second prince clashed. Austin said.

After hearing Austin's words, Gray asked, "My lord, what are you going to do?"

"I think it's more appropriate for her to go directly to the Holy Maiden, and it would be more appropriate for the Holy Maiden to guide her, Charlotte is wild and lacks systematization. Austin said.

Gray asked with some confusion, "Wouldn't it be a sheep to hand her over to the church?"

"So, let's go and see the results of the talks with the Holy Maiden, if the talks are good, we can say whatever we want, if not, we will have to face the preparations of being enemies of the same church in the royal capital. "For the church, cooperation is a good option, but annexation is also a good option, after all, the strength is not small, and if I were a member of the church, I would not think that this is the choice." ”

After hearing Austin's words, Gray frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, since this is the case, I am afraid that the church will not make other choices, and you will inevitably encounter danger if you go to the church in person." ”

At this moment, Gray's whole person became serious, and the change in his title represented a change in his identity, no longer a guy who followed the boss, but as an important member of a newly rising force, he said to his leader.

After hearing Gray's words, Austin also became serious and said: "Even if this is very likely, I have to go, we are a lot inferior to the church, if we can't persuade the other party to give up the annexation and choose to cooperate, we will face the attack of the church, the attack of people is different from the beast tide, although we have outstanding results in the defense of the beast tide, but if we defend against the attack of the church, it will definitely not be smooth." ”

"Your Highness, your mind is always changing, do you remember the purpose of our visit to the royal capital?" Gray immediately interrupted Austin. No matter what, you can't let your royal highness go to the church to take risks, in contrast, it is not a problem to cause any harm in the royal capital, "You want to come and fight for the position of king, isn't it?"

"Actually, I'm just here to see, but it doesn't matter what's going on. If you think about it, you will know that the royal capital, we are not suitable to occupy it now, the royal capital is a focal point, and the fewer people we know, the better, after all, there are too many interests involved, and I am not willing to spend too much time dealing with the intricate relationships. Therefore, what we need is to achieve considerable benefits in this battle for the king, even if we have achieved our goal. If we want to say that the best outcome is naturally an alliance with the Church side, and the Kingdom side will support us. However, as long as you do a little bit, it will be considered a good luck. ”

"I see, we have an alliance with the second prince, right?" Gray saw that Austin was not entangled in the affairs of the church, and quickly asked.

"Second brother, he can indeed support us when he is on the throne, but it does not meet our strategic purpose, after all, our enemy needs to unite all human forces, even if the kingdom is handed over to others, it cannot be too weak, otherwise it will lack sufficient military strength. Austin said.

"Do you mean the Third Prince?" said Gray.

"In contrast, just choose him. Austin said, and then, after thinking about it, said, "I'll leave these things to you, and everything will be done as you want, and this matter will be left to you." Austin said.

"Yes, Your Highness" Gray was about to leave after receiving Austin's order, but halfway through, he stopped, and after conveying his own affairs, he came to Austin's side again.

"You go and prepare, I'll go and see for myself first, if it doesn't work, you can quickly prepare for the town." Austin said.

"Your Highness, is it okay for me to go?" asked Gray.

Austin thought for a moment and said, "If it were you, probably no one would see you." However, your worries are not wrong, if I am really taken hostage, I guess you will not listen to me and fight them to the end, which can be regarded as more harm than good. You take Skati back, I'll stay here. Without the town of Hawthorne, with a little less shock, you go back to Charlotte's aid. ”
