Chapter 886 Arrangement of Arnold
The land of a thousand lakes, the ruins at the bottom of the lake.
Only after understanding the strength and intensity of the church's counterattack and knowing the ending of the "Deep Blue Devil" Sharp can he study the "City in the Sky" with more peace of mind, so as not to let the magician who attended the party be arrested and leak the location of "Alinge" - it crashed there, and there was almost no way to transfer it without causing a big commotion.
"Your Excellency, 'Heart of Time' Ketonia left the Shining Cathedral and returned to his villa in the city, and the church did not arrest the 'Deep Blue Devil'." A magician reported to Arnold on the situation in the city of Rentat, and they had no way to plant spies within the church or among the nobles, so they could only find out about the surface.
Arnold stroked his white beard and nodded slightly: "Ketonia has already learned what happened from Rigg, and she will definitely tell Franz, and the church did not mention the execution of Sharp, and even the arrest and interrogation were not carried out, which is very strange, it seems that things have changed, maybe it is the result of the battle between the Pope and the 'Silver Moon'......"
He analyzed the reason, but due to the distance between this place and the areas of Alto, Tria, and Reims, and the magicians could not arrange magic circles to transmit sound information in the cathedrals of various important cities like churches, so the information was limited, and they could not analyze the reason, so they could only make speculative judgments.
"Whatever the reason, at least the church has compromised this time, compromising with the nobility, which is important to fuel their ambitions." Douglas said with a calm expression, not knowing whether it was joy or expectation.
"So I say that whether the church kills Sharp or not, it is in our favor." Arnold said with a smile, turning to look at Fernando, "Don't go to Old Green for the time being, Sharp should know about our use of him now.
Speaking of this, he smiled very narrowly and said: "Fernando, Count Pephos happens to be in Rentat, you can ask him, find out where the status of the nobility comes from, think about how strong the power of the nobles is, and by the way, inquire about the situation on Alto's side, and find out the result of the battle between the Pope and the 'Silver Moon'."
At this time, the nobles' intelligence sources are much richer than theirs, if you don't ask them, who will you inquire?
"Count Peforth?" Fernando was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm going to change into that belt again."
Anold said with a smile: "What? Very repulsive? I think you were very interested before, and you are still studying how to improve the belt."
Fernando laughed dryly: "Life is so short compared to death, so why not try different experiences in a limited life?"
"But no matter how interesting the experience is, you will get tired of it, only the mysteries of the world and magic can be forever deep and moving." Douglas didn't know about the transgender belt, so he casually expressed his opinion.
Anold laughed twice, and said nothing more in the demeanor of an elder.
…………
The night was silent, and the villa of the Count of Peifos was bustling with people, as lively as day.
One by one, the knights came and took advantage of the darkness to leave, exchanging information with each other, confirming their attitudes, without stopping, because what happened tonight was so appalling that they had to panic and give up rest, who would have thought that the Duke of Sharp would unite with magicians to assassinate Cardinal Alfonso? Who would have thought that His Excellency Ketonia had received the news in advance and planned to kill all the magicians? Who would have thought that the famous "Heart of Time" would fall into a trap and almost fall, suffering the most painful defeat after becoming famous?
And such a thing will inevitably set off a hurricane, just sweeping by the tail of the wind, will make them, ordinary nobles, lose everything, so how can they not panic and wait and see, not look for their lords and higher-ranking nobles to inquire?
Because of this, the villa of the Count of Peforth is so lively.
Watching several subordinate nobles leave together, Count Pephos' face showed deep exhaustion, for a heavenly knight like him, not resting for a few nights is nothing, it is absolutely impossible to be tired because of this, he is tired of his soul, he must analyze the attitude of the church and the attitude of other great nobles according to the ever-changing information, and constantly adjust his position, so as not to encounter accidents in this turmoil.
"Your Excellency, since the church has sent a cardinal to appease Lord Sharp, it seems that there will be no more bad changes, this is the grace of the Lord, and the evil man's plot cannot succeed." The last nobleman in the living room bowed and prepared to leave, he was the confidant of the Count of Peforth.
In front of his confidants, Count Peforth did not hide his exhaustion: "If it weren't for the great battles between Tria and Reims, maybe the result would have been very different, we are strong and weak."
The nobleman, who sympathized with the Count's last words, sighed: "Yes, Count, the church's compromise makes us feel strong, but the real reason for their compromise makes us understand our own weakness, if, if Your Majesty the King and the others completely defeat the coalition of magicians, vampires, dragons, elves, etc., we ......."
Speaking of this, he was a little afraid, afraid that there would be a night watchman hiding nearby, so he didn't say anything further and silently withdrew and left.
Count Peforth looked at the slowly closing door, his thoughts rising and falling, like a turbulent tide on an endless ocean, without magicians, vampires and other enemies, why does the church need to "raise" nobles and respect nobles? The change in the attitude of the clergy in the last hundred years speaks for itself! Just like the beautiful and hot female magician said, the enemy of the nobles is the magician, but the status of the nobility also comes from the magician!
Suddenly, he turned his head abruptly, looked out the window of Hei Gu Rumbling, and lowered his voice and said, "Since you are here, come in."
"I have to get permission from the owner before I can come in." A slightly magnetic low female voice sounded, and the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window bulged inward, as if a transparent person was about to get out of the blister.
But soon, a petite beauty in a red magic robe walked out, and the glass returned to its original state.
Looking at the girl who was as bright as fire, Count Peforth did not have a teasing expression, but said quite seriously and solemnly: "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, what I mean, you don't know? I remember you are not such a fool?" After transforming into a woman, Fernando felt that his sarcasm was relatively softer, "We communicated before, and now I want to know, have your doubts been resolved? Do you want to understand where the status of the nobility comes from? Think about how powerful your power is?"
Count Pephos' eyes were unique golden vertical pupils, like a golden dragon, he looked at Fernando and said slowly: "The answer to the question is not important, the important thing is that you are too weak, even if the 'Death Lord' recovers, you are still weak, and I can't pursue the opportunity to inevitably fail."
He had doubts about the status and power of the nobility before, but tonight's events made him completely understand, but he understood that he did not intend to share it with the magicians, and pointed out the core of the problem bluntly.
He smiled, as if there was a sudden light, and the room was shining: "We are weak, but the alliance of magicians, vampires, dragons, elves, etc. is not weak, if the nobles are centrifugal, the church can only protect itself, of course, we don't need you to take risks for the time being, just hope to get a little help so that we have time to grow, when the time, you will find that we are no longer weak, It's enough to cooperate with you."
"Magicians can't get stronger as clergy." The Earl of Perforth was noncommittal.
Fernando sensed Count Pephos's concerns, did not continue the topic, and asked instead: "I just heard that there was a big battle between Tria and Reims?"
「…… Yes, Silver Moon, Abel, and Dracula joined forces to sneak attack the Pope......" Count Pephos pondered for a moment, and then told the news he knew as it was.
Fernando was surprised, stunned and excited while secretly laughing, providing information is within the scope of "a little help", Count, you don't agree to cooperate with your mouth, but you have already "agreed" in your heart.
…………
"The Pope didn't take action, and the coalition still couldn't break Reims, and even killed only one cardinal and epic knight, and then was completely suppressed? The strength of the church is really terrifying......" Anold also got some information from other channels, which confirmed Fernando's gains, but even so, he still couldn't hide his astonishment, a little can't believe that the strength of the church has been so strong!
In this world, legends except for the clergy and nobles are almost united, but there is still no way to defeat the church that has lost the Pope - even the church is guarded by cardinals and epic knights in the Great Holm region, on the edge of the endless ocean, etc., to prevent the remnants of magicians and sea legends from causing trouble.
It's a bit desperate!
"If the pope is restored, or a new pope is crowned, when he can use the divine descent technique, the coalition army may collapse." Douglas said worriedly, now there is no way to defeat the church, and it is even suppressed, plus the pope, it is even more unbearable.
Arnold nodded: "I can only hope that the 'Silver Moon' will be restored before the Pope recovers or the new Pope becomes a god-like person, so that a confrontation can be formed."
"It's not a problem we can control." Douglas smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, "It seems that this counterattack will not be too strong, at most the remaining Epic Knights and Cardinals will move, Mr. President, then I will go to 'Alinge'."
"Okay, don't be lazy, try to research something!" Anold didn't look out of the way at all, and then looked at Fernando, "I hope you can go to Alto, Tria and other places to figure out the situation there, figure out who is more likely to become the new pope between Griffith and Ivan, and look for some potential young magicians to come over, after all, they can't get involved in the battle between legends."
