Throne of Magical Arcana

In the living room on the second floor of the villa, Baron Austin, who had changed into pajamas, held red wine and listened intently to Ms. "Nightingale"'s sweet and moving voice.

During the national mourning, he was embarrassed to find his mistress, so he could only pass the time by "Voice of Mystery", 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 nobles and believers, it is very fashionable to listen to this forbidden magic radio station, especially the gatherings among the enlightened nobles. Anyone who doesn't listen will fall behind and be implicitly rejected by the circle.

"...Starting today, our program will be revised to a certain extent. Next, all listeners will listen to "Holm Observation" hosted by me, and know the various major events happening in the kingdom as soon as possible."

"...Presumably all listeners already know that our dear and respected Prince Patrick was overwhelmed with grief after the death of His Majesty King Feltis and followed him away, but what happened and the details? This program will Lead everyone to explore the truth behind the incident."

Austin was originally leaning on the back of the sofa leisurely, but after hearing the introduction at the beginning of the program, he slowly sat up straight, his face becoming more and more serious.

"Holm Observation"'s exploration of this matter is still at the stage of guesswork based on appearances and positions without evidence. From time to time, some witnesses who came out of nowhere were interviewed to prove that Prince Patrick was in a relatively good state in those few days. , will not collapse suddenly.

Although "Nightingale" didn't say it explicitly, both inside and outside the words imply that the church doesn't like the prince's pro-magic and pro-alchemy attitude, so that people can easily deduce the truth about the church's assassination of the prince through logic.

Austin took a breath, recalling the situation relayed by the enlightened members of the House of Nobles, the more suspicious he became. His Royal Highness had just hosted an enlightened party a week ago, and his physical condition remained the same without any obvious deterioration. The relationship with His Majesty the King is so bad, how could it be possible to die of excessive grief?

"Even the crown prince dares to assassinate..." Austin put the red wine glass in his hand on the table, stood up and paced back and forth.

When he turned his back to the window, two figures suddenly rushed in and quickly restrained him who was only at the level of a formal knight.

"Who are you? How dare you attack nobles... the night watchman!" Austin saw the black gloves worn by these two men, "You dare to directly arrest the nobles? You are breaking the agreement between the church and the nobles!"

Juliana flew in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at Austin coldly: "The church is too weak, only we can maintain the glory of the Lord."

"Are you trying to split the nobles from the church, weaken the church's strength, and prevent the glory of the Lord from spreading?" Austin was not a fool, and instantly realized that he had encountered the legendary extreme night watchman with the spirit of fanaticism, so he did not forcefully express his desire. Appealed to the noble court, appealed to the highest court of inquisition in the holy city of Reims, the inside and outside of the words weakened the strength, and could not defend the glory of the Lord more effectively.

"The power of the Lord is infinite. He didn't stop you, but just tested us. If the elimination of nobles like you, who are inclined to magicians, will cause the nobles of Holm to rebound, it means that they have all fallen. Salvation is necessary, and the kingship must bow at the feet of the Lord." Juliana hated the magician from the bottom of her heart, and coldly stretched out her hand, pressing Austin's forehead, "Go to hell and repent!"

"How dare you..." The holy light shone, Austin's head was pierced directly, and all the blood evaporated without staining the carpet.

Juliana put her black-gloved left hand on top of her right and said, "Sort up why he was cleared and what crimes he committed, and hand it over to the court and the House of Lords."

"We represent the will of the Lord to punish, and we will never hide."

"Yes!" The other night watchmen replied in unison.

In Holm's Royal Magic Tower, Lucien finally told Natasha: "Be careful with Sard, I don't know what he is planning."

"If he was really influenced by the secrets of the undead world as you said, just like the Pope and saints of the Northern Church at that time, perhaps his goal is to split the five major dioceses here from the church and become the Pope himself... ..." Natasha didn't know whether this speculation was good or bad because she hadn't clarified her position yet.

Lucien shook his head: "Don't blindly refer to the past, Sard has a deep mind and may not do this. After all, the Southern Church can no longer bear another split, and he has only been in office for more than two months. Even Holm The cardinals in the diocese may not be able to confuse them yet, so what is there to split? Not to mention there are other dioceses guarded by priests of the Holy Spirit. So, don't be fooled by his short-term performance."

Natasha said softly: "Anyway, I will carefully test his purpose, and you should also be careful. You are the best one to deal with among the group of powerhouses with the highest rank in the purification sequence."

"Don't worry, I have the Ring of Congus." Lucien glanced at the iron ring on his left hand.

Since the left hand would nullify the supernatural power, Lucien moved all Holm's crown ring to his right hand, leaving only this unaffected legendary ring on his left hand.

"It's great to have a legendary item!" Natasha deliberately said "indignantly", "When I sort out my heart, strengthen my chivalry, and upgrade to level eight, I will have it too! Then I will bring the Shield of Truth over." , that is the combination of the strongest defense and the strongest attack, which makes you envious, haha!"

She didn't want Lucien to end the call with a depressed mood, so she joked optimistically.

Just after dawn, Duke Rex, the speaker of the House of Nobles, flew to the Glorious Cathedral with a gloomy face.

"Your Excellency St. Sard, I need an explanation. Why did the night watchman clear a baron and an official knight without the approval of Her Majesty the Queen and the House of Lords?" Rex looked at the end of the study. Sard, who was sitting, said, his voice became uncontrollably louder, "This will make all the nobles feel chills in their hearts. How can they trust the church? How can they contribute to the church? On this issue, there is no difference between pro-church and pro-magic council. !"

Sard calmly said: "I just found out about this, I will let the head of the court deal with these night watchmen, and give an explanation to the nobles. Rex, you also know that there are many extremists among the night watchmen , and I have just taken over the Diocese of Holm for less than three months, and it is still difficult to effectively suppress them, so the relationship between the nobles and the church cannot be destroyed just because of a few mad dogs biting them?"

Seeing that Sard had a good attitude, Rex's anger eased a little: "If it's just the private actions of a few night watchmen, and they can be severely punished, then I am sure to appease the pro-church nobles, but the pro-magic council It’s hard to say about the nobles and the magic council behind them. Moreover, just after Her Majesty the Queen was crowned, a nobleman encountered such a thing, which will make her resist the church and ours. I hope that you can control the church well, don’t This extreme situation happens again.”

"I can only say my best to try to bring the Diocese of Holm under full control within two years, and no similar situations will occur again. During this period, I hope that the nobles can pay attention to their words and deeds and protect their own safety. If they are found to be The extremists in the church are watching, please inform me in time." Sard replied very eloquently, "By the way, you have compiled the reaction of the nobles on this matter into information, and I will report it to the Pope. No matter what , the extremists are devout clergy or night watchmen, and to deal with them, the consent of the Pope must be obtained."

Rex nodded: "Okay, I will order someone to sort it out. Now I will go to the Nexus Palace and explain it to Her Majesty in person, so as not to make her angry and leave a bad impression."

Watching Rex leave, Sard picked up the document on the table, which contained a list of the night watchmen who acted alone.

After reading it with a smile, Sard swiped his index finger lightly, and Juliana's name disappeared, and then he raised the quill and wrote: "...due to the long-term situation of being suppressed by the Magic Council and the successive attacks of the Holy Light. In the incident, the attitudes of the clergy and night watchmen in the Holm diocese have divided into many extreme situations. Some people doubt the need to improve theology and magic under the Pope's crown, and believe that the blasphemers inside must be eliminated before they can unite against magic. The division council, and some people like them, think that the church is too weak, the nobles are too arrogant, and they must be radical to awaken the numb clergy."

"Another group of people questioned the necessity of confronting the Magic Parliament, and believed that the two sides could reconcile and live in peace with each other taking a step back."

"This incident was caused by the second type of extremists. I admit that I do not have enough control over the diocese. I implore the Pope to send down my old assistant, Cardinal Villa Amorton of Viorit Diocese, etc. People came to assist in order to quell the matter as soon as possible, control the extremists, and avoid similar incidents that pushed the nobles to the magic council."

"As for the penalty decision, I think Cardinal Octave, who is in charge of the diocesan tribunal, bears an inescapable responsibility. I will remove him from the position of head of the tribunal, and he will be replaced by Cardinal Amerton. However, due to the complicated situation in the diocese Dangerous, he will still serve in the diocese..."

…………

Flipping through the documents submitted by the night watchmen and listening to Rex's justification, Natasha had no expression on her face.

It wasn't until he finished talking about the church's decision that Natasha nodded lightly and said: "There is no shortage of extreme lunatics anywhere, and the relationship between the nobles and the church cannot be damaged because of them. As long as the church is sincere, I think most nobles will They will all accept it, and as for the small number of nobles, I will appease them."

Rex breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed Her Majesty the Queen from Alto, the City of Psalms, who clearly favored the Church: "Your Majesty is wise."

Just when he was about to leave, Natasha suddenly said something: "The night watchman's document states that Baron Austin was listening to the 'Voice of Mystery' when he was arrested and executed, and it was playing slander against the Church and Duke Rex. What do you think of the content of your assassination of my uncle, Crown Prince Patrick?"

"This is undoubtedly the slander of the Magic Council, trying to sow discord between you, Her Majesty the Queen, the church and most of the nobles! They don't have any evidence, they rely on nonsense and groundless speculation." Rex pleaded solemnly.

Natasha raised her left eyebrow: "Have you listened to this program?"

"The intelligence personnel listened and organized the content of the program into materials and submitted them to me." Rex explained.

Natasha nodded slowly, without saying anything: "Next time, submit this kind of information to me first."

Only then did Rex realize that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly said: "Because your Majesty the Queen has just been crowned these days, and there are many things to do, so I will screen the information first, pick out the important ones, and submit them directly to you in the future."

"It's okay, I understand the Duke's kindness, if you have something to do, go and do it first." Natasha asked Rex to leave calmly.

When Rex walked out of the palace, Natasha's face suddenly became serious.

Lucien took the elevator to the 33rd floor of the Allinge Magic Tower, and entered the teacher Fernando's demiplane "Thunder Hell" through the door of another world in the study room, and was warmly treated by Little Crystal's tongue and hands ——It claimed that it felt guilty for failing to fulfill its duty of protection, so it became more and more flattering, but it was accidentally discovered by Lucien that it was calculating how many awards "New Alchemy" could win.

Fernando's hair is a little messy. It seems that in the absence of a lot of knowledge and experimental discoveries, the reverse engineering of fusion and fission is more difficult than Lucien imagined.

"It's just in time. You will describe the feeling when you cast the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' again." Fernando raised his bright red eyes to look at Lucien, and then his expression became quite complicated: "You have a new paper?"

Lucien held a stack of papers in his hand.
