Chapter 22: Departure
"Well, his threat is also real, you, there is no reason to let him go. The Pope said.
"He told me about the pattern, are you just letting it go because of this...... Forget it, what I'm judging is that his existential threat is less than his interests. Vivien said.
"Then this matter is completely settled, since the three of us think so, then, let the order go down. The Pope said disapprovingly, saying that it was just a trivial matter, and then asked suspiciously, "By the way, didn't he ask about the king or anything like that?"
"Nope"
"Oh, it's okay. ”
Vivien was just about to leave when a priest walked in and said, "Your Excellency, Your Highness the Fourth Prince outside has asked to see you." ”
"Seemingly, Prince Austin, he knows a lot about our division of powers. The Pope smiled and said, "Let him in." ”
Vivien frowned slightly, and she had already figured out that Austin went to the church to pray that she wanted to attract herself out, settle her affairs first, and then come to consult with the Pope. So Vivien didn't leave, here to see what he would say to the Pope. The Pope was only a little surprised that Vivien did not leave, but he did not say much.
After Austin came in, he looked at Vivien, had a hint of surprise, nodded to Weiwei'an, and said to the Pope: "This is the formula of black powder, which is dozens of times more powerful than the gunpowder formula, and I am here to dedicate it to the church." ”
Vivien and the Pope were surprised, the Pope received the formula in his hand, looked at it, and also read the formula of gunpowder before, and there was no major change, but since Austin said that the power was dozens of times, it was true, I didn't expect that in just three months, the change would be so fast.
"You are not a devout believer, give me this, what do you want us to help you?" the Pope asked.
"After the beast tide, there will be demons and evil spirits out of the mountain one after another, no matter who will enter the king's capital, it will eventually hurt the vitality, itself in the beast tide, it has been broken once, I hope the church can help the kingdom in the future. Austin said.
The Pope and Vivien were surprised by Austin's request, and the Pope asked, "Since you have come, have you not come to fight for the throne of king?"
"There is not enough manpower, the timing is not right, I am not here to take the throne. Austin said, "This time the king is dead, and all the princes are not allowed to enter the palace, but the archbishop of the church and above are free to come and go, and I need you to help me give the throne to the third prince." ”
"We can only help you do two-and-a half of this, and you need to deal with the remaining third. The edict of the king's succession is divided into three parts, one is held by the king, and the other is held by the grand duke, I can help you change both copies, but among the royal family members, they also hold one, and this is something that our church has no way to grasp. For the people of the kingdom are also very wary of us. That one, if you can change it, this thing will be done, if you can't change it, it won't be done. With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"It's not difficult, it's not my business anymore. Helping others get to the top, I haven't done my best to get to this point. You can change the rest, and I'll take care of the rest. "However, it is man-made, and it is inevitable that a thousand things will be lost." Therefore, I need the church to assist the third prince in raising troops in the event that the last three princes fail to revise the edict. ”
"......," said the Pope, who was silent for a moment, and after calculating in his mind, "it may be done. ”
After the Pope finished speaking, he looked at Austin and said, "Aren't you curious, who did your father appoint to be the king?"
"This edict was issued before the outbreak of the beast tide, so there is no threat in the kingdom, so there is no hope for the third prince, although the second prince jumps up and down, but there is not much hope, the old king disdains the kingdom to fall, there is nothing to do with me, who else?" Austin said.
The Pope was stunned, he didn't expect Austin to think about this matter so thoroughly, but he was afraid that the eldest prince himself did not have this confidence, the third prince has always thought that the credit he made in the foreign attack was seen by the king, and there may not be no possibility of becoming a king, and the second prince felt that there were several grand dukes who supported him, and he may not have the strength to fight, but he didn't know that from beginning to end, except for the eldest prince, everyone else was just a whetstone for the eldest prince. It's just that the eldest prince was suppressed a little miserably by the second and third princes, and he didn't show any advantages.
Thinking of this, he looked at Austin and asked, "Why don't the Fourth Highnesses come and give it a try?"
"The fault tolerance rate is too low to be appropriate. Hearing the Pope's question, Austin replied.
"Margin for error?" Vivien asked, a little confused.
"Yes, on the top, if you want to change something, you must take into account the gains and losses in all aspects, so that in the process of implementation, change something, maybe this change, will not achieve the effect I need. If you want to go too far, I'm afraid that you will be killed by other forces in the king with some unguardable means. It's better to go step by step, and find like-minded people to change together, which is not necessarily slower than being a kingdom step by step. With that, Austin left.
The Grand Duke was in his home, discussing things with the third prince, when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside.
The third prince frowned slightly, listened attentively for a moment, and then said, "Someone is walking here. The speed is fast, and our people have not had time to intercept it, so they can only stop it with a voice, but it is useless, the people have already come. ”
The Grand Duke nodded, stood up, pushed open the door and looked outside, only to see Austin swaggering in.
"Why are you here?" said the Grand Duke helplessly after stopping Austin.
Austin looked at the Grand Duke and said, "I spent a lot of money to open the way to the church, is the Grand Duke surprised, is it not surprised?"
The Grand Duke couldn't help but cover his forehead, and his head really hurt when he met such an idiot. said: "Your Highness Austin, even if you open the way to the church, it has nothing to do with us. It doesn't matter if you insist on getting into this quagmire of competition for the king. ”
"No, I think you're right, the water in the city is too deep, I'd better go back to my countryside. However, something has to be done, otherwise life will not be very easy in the future. Austin said, and then talked to the church and told the Grand Duke, who was a little surprised, and looked at Austin suspiciously, really not understanding what Austin's purpose was.
Austin smiled and said, "The third brother is here, let me in." Am I not sincere enough? Or, don't you believe me?"
......According to what he knew about Austin, of course he didn't believe what he said, it was certainly not impossible for the church to intervene in the affairs of the kingdom, but it was absolutely impossible for them to help the third prince. After all, for them, the third prince will not bring them any benefits.
"Grand Duke, let the fourth brother in. The third prince in the room said, "If he really wants to come in, you can't stop him." ”
The Grand Duke was a little puzzled, and he still couldn't imagine the scene where he couldn't stop Austin, but since the three princes had said so, there was no need for him to stop here.
After Austin entered, he saw the third prince, looked at it carefully, and said, "Third brother." ”
"After the fourth child went outside, he had a chance. The third prince said.
Austin replied with a pleasant greeting: "It's okay." ”
"You didn't come to the royal capital to help me, I heard that you bought a witch at the auction house?" said the fourth prince.
"Third brother wants?" Austin asked, confused.
"You stay away from these people, the moving natural disasters are really not a joke, they don't know whether to live or die, they are witches with healing powers, after going berserk, the dead people will not die less than other abilities. Moreover, the death was even worse. The third prince said.
Austin was stunned for a moment and nodded: "This ability is indeed too suitable for marching, and the third brother seems to have suffered a loss in this." Can you tell me more about it?"
"I don't know the details, but remember, they are blessed with unique abilities, and no one is unwilling to take them under their command, but all the forces have acquiesced in the witch judgment. It was only after everyone suffered a big loss. The third prince said.
"I know that the third brother, the church, has concealed the matter of the beast tide, and I want to take the opportunity to weaken the other forces, and finally unify all the forces. Be careful with the church. Austin said.
"Hmm"
After a brief conversation and an exchange of terms, Austin left.
Just as Austin was leaving, he suddenly felt the earth tremble, and he almost stood a little unsteady to the end.
"I said that the church was here, and it turned out that something was really going to happen. Austin said, touching the invitation in his arms, without strength, this thing is still a little dangerous, let's leave the place of right and wrong here for the time being.
"Hmm, there are two nameplates here?" said a young man outside the royal capital, puzzled, "Why is there a blank one?
"Let's leave the blank one alone, let's go...... No need for it. Another teenager said, feeling the holder of the nameplate quickly approaching his side.
"Actually, the holder of the blank plate is coming this way, too, so be careful. ”
A moment later, the saint came and looked at the two men standing there.
"Apostle?" asked the holy woman after two glances.
"It's not, but you can think of it that way, after all, we're going to do the same thing. The boy said.
"Since that's the case, die!" the saint burst into flames and killed the other party, and the saint's side, with two enemies and one, was also forced to retreat. The strength of the Holy Maiden far exceeded the expectations of the two saints, not to mention, this is the territory of the human race, and in such a level of battle, other masters of the human race will also come.
Just as they expected, soon a flash of thunder flashed on the battlefield and directly attacked the two, and the two, who were already somewhat suppressed, immediately messed up and were stabbed.
After the two looked at each other, their eyes turned red, fangs grew, and their strength increased a little, and they forcibly blocked the Holy Maiden and Vivien together.
"Is that all you two have to do?" asked the saint after dodging an attack from one man, grabbing the man's head.
"Damn, just humans have such strength, but, forget it. "Although I know that I am no longer the opponent of the other party, but I am so ashamed and hateful!
"I don't know what you're doing, but let's leave like that. The saint said, and the man was surrounded by flames that reduced him to ashes.
"Interesting, we'll see you later, next time it's going to be a winner. Anyway, the battle between the demons and the human race has an opportunity. The boy spoke, being impaled by Vivien's sword and disappearing.
"What's going on?" asked Vivien as she watched the corpse vanish, then looked at the saint in confusion.
"The apostles won't just be this bit of strength, I don't know what they are. The saint said solemnly.
"This guy just told me something, let's go back and talk about it first. Vivien returned to the church with the Holy Maiden.
Austin only felt the vibration, however, he didn't sense anything, but the change in the token in his arms made Austin understand that those guys were coming. The first thing I thought about was to go to the church to hide, but then I felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately came to the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, chose a small rocket, and I could see the Sky Piercing Monkey for reference, and I went out of the city.
Although Austin's reaction was fast, but, after a while, the battle between the saint and the others was over. The third prince rushed out of the city at the first time when the saint fought each other, and he only saw the battle, but it was such a fight, but it made the third prince of the god of war tremble a little, and in the face of the saint and Vivian, the third prince thought that there was no possibility of fighting more than three moves.
"Witches?" The third prince saw their extraordinary abilities, which seemed to others to be a miracle, but the third prince was also a person who had seen witches, so he could feel that these two people were also witches, what was going on?
The third prince, who had seen this battle, returned to the royal capital with a heavy heart. And when Austin came outside the city, basically everyone had dispersed, even some of the people who watched the excitement were dispersed. But just think about it, if the strongest group of humans can't even deal with these things, don't resist, everyone washes their necks and waits for death. When I got outside the city, I saw that my guards were all coming out, so I didn't do anything more, and I didn't need to intervene too much in the affairs of the royal capital, anyway, there were not many of my own guards, and they all came out at this time, and the rest of the Ben came to the royal capital with their own mission, so they simply led the team out of the royal capital and went back to the town.
