In the living room on the second floor of the villa, Baron Austin, who had changed into pajamas, was holding red wine and listening intently to the sweet and touching voice of Ms.
Nightingale.
At the time of the state funeral, he was embarrassed to find his mistress, so he could only rely on the "voice of mysteries" to kill time, and he could hear a lot of interesting programs from this channel, sometimes it was much more fun than fooling around with his mistress.
In the Kingdom of Holm, except for the most conservative part of the nobility and cultists, it is very fashionable to listen to this forbidden magic radio station, especially the gathering between the enlightened nobles, and this topic is indispensable, if anyone does not listen, they will fall behind and be ostracized by the circle.
"Starting today, our program will be revamped to a certain extent, and then you listeners will listen to the Holm Watch, which I host, to know the major events happening in the kingdom as soon as possible."
"As you may have known, our dear and respected Prince Patrick was overwhelmed with grief after the death of His Majesty King Feltes, but what exactly happened and what are the details of what happened in this program, which will lead you to explore the truth behind the matter."
Austin was originally leaning leisurely on the back of the sofa, but after hearing the introduction at the beginning of the show, he slowly sat up straight, and his face became more and more serious.
Holm observed that the exploration of this matter was still in the stage of speculation without evidence and only on appearances and positions, and from time to time interviewed some witnesses who appeared out of nowhere to prove that Prince Patrick was in relatively good health in those days, although "Nightingale" did not say it explicitly, but it was implied that the church did not like the prince's pro-magic and pro-alchemy industry attitude, so that people could easily deduce the truth about the church's assassination of the prince through logic.
Gasping, Austin recalled the situation relayed by the enlightened members of the House of Nobles, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became, His Royal Highness the Prince had just presided over an enlightened gathering a week ago, and his physical condition was still the same, there was no obvious deterioration, and his relationship with His Majesty the King was very poor, how could he die of excessive grief "Even the crown prince would dare to assassinate" Austin put the red wine glass in his hand on the table, stood up and paced back and forth.
As he turned his back to the window, two figures suddenly pounced on him, quickly restraining him, who was only a formal knight.
"Who are you who dare to attack the noble night watchman" Austin saw the black gloves worn by the two men, "You dare to arrest the nobles directly, you are breaking the agreement between the church and the nobles" Juliana flew in through the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Austin coldly: "The church is too weak, only we can maintain the glory of the Lord." ” "You are trying to split the nobility with the church, which will weaken the strength of the church and make it impossible for the glory of the Lord to spread" Austin was not a fool, and instantly understood that he had encountered the legendary extreme night watchman with a spiritual fanaticism, so he did not strongly express that he would appeal to the noble court and the Supreme Inquisition in the holy city of Reims.
"The power of the Lord is infinite, He has not stopped you, but is only testing us, if even the removal of nobles like you, who have fallen to the magician, will cause a backlash from the nobles of Holm, then it means that they have all fallen, there is no need to save them, and the royal power must bow down at the feet of the Lord."
Juliana, who has a heartfelt hatred for the magician, coldly reaches out and presses her hand on Austin's forehead, "Go to hell and repent" "You dare" The holy light shone, and Austin's head was pierced directly, and all the blood evaporated, without staining the carpet.
Juliana's black-gloved left hand rested on top of her right hand and said, "Sort out why he was dealt with and what charges he committed, and submit them to the Inquisition and transfer them to the House of Nobles." ” "It is our duty to punish the will of the Lord in a dignified manner, and we will not hide from it."
"Yes," the other night watchmen replied in unison.
Inside the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, Lucien finally told Natasha, "Be careful of Salde, I don't know what he's up to." ” "If he is really influenced by the secrets of the necromancy, as you said, just like the pope and saints of the Northern Church at that time, maybe his goal is to split the five dioceses here from the church and become the pope himself" Natasha didn't know whether this speculation was good or bad because her position had not yet been clarified.
Lucien shook his head: "Don't be too blind to refer to the past, Salde is scheming, he may not do this, after all, the Southern Church can no longer withstand another split, and he has only been in office for more than two months, and even the cardinal of the diocese of Holm may not be deceived, what to use to divide, not to mention the diocese guarded by other Holy Spirit priests, so don't be fooled by his performance in a short period of time." ” Natasha said softly, "In short, I will be careful to test his purpose, and you should also be careful, you are the best one to deal with among the highest-ranked powerhouses in the purification sequence." ” "Don't worry, I have the Ring of Congus with me."
Lucien glanced at the iron ring on his left hand.
Since his left hand would neutralize supernatural powers, Lucien moved all of Holm's crown rings to his right hand, leaving only the unaffected Legendary Ring in his left hand.
"It's great to have a legendary item," Natasha deliberately said "indignantly", "When I have sorted out my heart, strengthened my chivalry, and promoted to level eight, I will also have the time when I will bring the shield of truth again, that is, the strongest defense and the strongest attack in one, which makes you envious, haha" She didn't want Lucien to end the call on a depressing note, so she ended up joking optimistically.
As soon as it was dawn, Duke Rex, the president of the House of Nobles, flew to the Glorious Cathedral with a gloomy face.
"Your Excellency St.
Salde, I need an explanation as to why the Night's Watch eliminated a baron, an official knight, without the approval of Her Majesty the Queen and the House of Nobles," Rex said as he looked at Salde, who was sitting upright in the study, his voice uncontrollably louder, "This will make all the nobles feel chills in their hearts, how can they trust the church How can the church contribute to this matter, there is no difference between conservatives and enlightened people" Salde said calmly: "I also just learned about this matter, I will let the person in charge of the Inquisition deal with these night watchmen, and I will give an explanation to the nobles."
Rex, you also know that there are many extremists among the Night's Watch, and I have only been in charge of the diocese of Holm for less than three months, and it is difficult to effectively suppress them, and I can't ruin the relationship between the nobility and the church just because I have a few mad dogs."
Seeing that Salde was in a good attitude, Rex's anger eased a little: "If it is just the private actions of a few night watchmen, and they can be severely punished, then I am sure that the conservative nobles will be appeased, but it is difficult to say about the enlightened nobles and the magic council behind them, and besides, Her Majesty has just been crowned by a nobleman who has encountered this kind of thing, which will make her resist the church and the conservatives, I hope that Your Excellency St.
Salde can control the church and not have such an extreme situation again." ” "I can only say that I will do my best to bring the diocese of Holm under control within two years, and no similar situation will occur again, and during this time, I hope that the nobles can pay attention to their words and deeds, protect their own safety, and if they find that they are targeted by extremists in the church, please notify me in time."
Salde replied very eloquently, "By the way, you have compiled the reaction of the nobles on this matter, and I will report it to His Majesty the Pope, in any case, the extremists are pious clergy or night watchmen, and to deal with them, the consent of His Majesty the Pope must be obtained." ” Rex nodded: "Okay, I will order someone to tidy up, I will go to Nexer Palace first now, and explain it in front of Her Majesty, so as not to make her angry and leave a bad impression." ” Seeing Rex leave, Sald picked up the papers on his desk, which contained a list of the Night's Watch who were acting alone.
Smiling at it, Salde flicked his index finger, Juliana's name disappeared, and then he picked up his quill and wrote: "Due to the long-term suppression of the Magical Council and the successive devouring events of the Holy Light, the attitude of the clergy and the Night's Watch throughout the diocese of Holm has been divided into many extreme cases, one group of people doubts the need for the reform of theology and theology under the papal crown, and believes that the blasphemers within should be eliminated so that they can unite against the Council of Magiers, and there are others who are similar to them and think that the Church is weak, the aristocracy is arrogant and must be radical in order to awaken the numb other clergy. ” "Others questioned the need to confront the Magical Council, believing that the two sides could reconcile and live in peace with each other taking a step back."
"This incident is caused by the second type of extremists, I admit that I do not have enough control over the diocese, and I implore the Pope to send my old assistant, Cardinal Vera Almorton of the diocese of Vaorit, and others to assist me, so that the matter can be calmed down as soon as possible, the extremists are controlled, and the nobles are not pushed to the side of the Magic Council."
"As for the punishment decision, I consider that Cardinal Octave, who is in charge of the diocesan inquisition, has an inescapable responsibility, and I will remove him from his post as head of the inquisition and replace it with Cardinal Almorton, but he will still serve in the diocese due to the complex and dangerous situation in the diocese" Looking through the documents submitted by the Night's Watch and listening to Rex's defense, Natasha had no expression on her face.
It wasn't until he finished talking about the church's handling decision that Natasha nodded lightly and said: "There is no shortage of extreme madmen anywhere, and the relationship between the nobles and the church cannot be ruined because of them, as long as the church is sincere, I think most of the nobles will accept it, and as for the small number of nobles, I will appease them." ” Rex breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, it was Her Majesty the Queen from Aalto, the City of Chants, who was obviously biased in favor of the Church: "Her Majesty is wise. ” Just as he was about to say goodbye, Natasha suddenly said: "The night watchman's document says that Baron Austin was listening to the voice of mystery when he was arrested and executed, and the content of slandering the church and Duke Rex about your assassination of my uncle Prince Patrick, what do you think?"
"This is undoubtedly a slander by the Magical Council, an attempt to sow discord between Your Majesty and the Church and our conservative aristocracy, they have no evidence of it, and they rely on nonsense and unwarranted speculation."
Rex pleaded solemnly.
Natasha raised her left eyebrow: "You listened to the show" "The intelligence officers listened to it and compiled the content of the program into materials and submitted them to me."
Rex explained.
Natasha nodded slowly and didn't say anything: "Next time, this kind of information will be submitted to me first." ” Only then did Rex realize that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Because Your Majesty has just been crowned in the past few days, and there are many affairs, I will first sift through the information, pick out the important ones, and submit them directly to you in the future." ” "It's okay, I understand your kindness, duke, if you have something to do, go and get busy first."
Natasha quietly let Rex go.
When Rex left, Natasha's face suddenly became serious.
Lucien took the elevator to the thirty-third floor of the Alinge Magic Tower, and entered the half-plane "Thunder Hell" of the teacher Fernando through the otherworldly door in the study, and was warmly treated by the little crystal tongue licking hand, and it claimed that it was guilty of failing to fulfill its protective duties, so it became more and more flattering, but by chance Lucien found out that it was counting how many awards it could get for "new alchemy".
Fernando's hair was a bit messy, and it seemed that in the absence of a lot of knowledge and experimental discoveries, reverse engineering fusion and fission was more difficult than Lucien had imagined.
"It's good to be here, describe how you felt when you cast the Eternal Blazing Sun."
Fernando raised his bright red eyes and looked at Lucien, and then his expression became quite complicated: "You have a new paper again" Lucien held a stack of paper papers in his hand
