The sound of explosions and collisions, the sound of steel rubbing and piercing flesh, the screams of women and the roars and curses of the cross knights formed a wave and rushed towards them. Most of the noble ladies were crumbling, and the men also had stiff limbs, frowned, and stared with livid faces. At the church door. It can be seen that many people want to turn around and leave, but until Prince Ister makes his position clear, no one is willing to bear the reputation of cowardice to understand their dual physical and mental states.
A few minutes ago, when the mysterious creature came to the church, these guys had a somewhat gloating attitude. Norman saw their expressions in his eyes and considered whether it was necessary to clean up the idiots and idlers within the royal party. Due to the hereditary nature of the title, there would be more or less such guys in Eastman's kingdom meetings. Norman could only try his best to remove them from the center of power of the kingdom and at the same time enhance the power of the royal party in disguise.
After Lindep Nabag walked out of the church with a gloomy face, the depressing atmosphere eased slightly. Sir Norman still held his magic and had no choice but to step forward and ask about the situation: "Lord Punabag, did you have a conflict with the tower messenger inside?"
"You think so." The wizard leader responded in his unpleasant tone. Compared to Shania Ravenus, this high-level wizard is cunning and difficult to deal with. Not to mention his attitude toward Eastman. Linde is a rare ascetic among the wizards of the school. During this journey to find the holy book, he could not promise anything to the kingdom on behalf of the Silent School, and he was dismissive of their help.
Norman knew very well that he did not recognize the noble status of the royal family. There was a huge difference between mortals and mysterious creatures in his eyes. Maybe he would rather look at me, a high-ranking person, than call the prince your highness. Linde showed his attitude unabashedly on his face, as if he was afraid that others would not know his disgust. As an alien figure in Lord Shania's team, he played the role very successfully.
"I'm sorry, Sir, and His Highness the Prince. I have to seal off the cathedral for a period of time to clean up the battlefield and repair the layout. Time is running out and I must say goodbye." He turned around and left, but no one followed. Linde didn't care at all.
"It's so unreasonable." A noble girl muttered.
Prince Istel lowered his head to comfort Janet Gronion, but at least she did not express any opinions aloud. The girl, trembling like a dove, clung to the prince's sleeve. Maybe the person who spoke was talking about her. The distinguished people waiting outside the church were whispering, and the palace knights were also whispering to each other, speculating on the intensity of the battle taking place inside the church. It's just that after His Royal Highness the Prince announced his departure, these guys were not so anxious to leave. Lind's appearance signaled that the battle was over, and these curious mortals began to inquire for information again, eager to obtain after-dinner conversation.
Reinforcements from the Cross Knights and Wizards arrived quickly, and even if Sir Norman asked personally, he could not get any news. Anyway, things haven't reached the worst yet.
Norman could see that Lind did not participate in the battle. As for his men and the church knights, they would probably not be the opponents of the tower messenger. Before the body was taken out, Norman ordered the palace knights to transport these valuable mortals back to the carriage and as far away from the church as possible. He didn't want to scare that little "pigeon" out, the royal party still needed her.
"Their conflict seems to have escalated." Prince Ister whispered, "It's different from what was expected."
Since the wizards of the Silent School arrived in Eastman, Norman didn't know much about the church's situation. In his report from the Gulf, he claimed that the Tower Messenger broke into the local church in Beacon Town, but later news came that it was demons and dark wizards who had broken into the church, and were then driven out by Chloe's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There are endless rumors and endless legends. Mortals always imagine exaggerated legends when looking at wars in the mysterious realm. Asking him to identify the truth and falsehood is really like looking for a needle in a sea of things. This is a more annoying job than dealing with government affairs, and he still has to do it.
Only a few pieces of information can be confirmed: the alliance between the Silent School and the Tower, the progress of the Gulf War, and the current situation of Beacon Town. The Battle of Tielong Port did take place, and the church and sect wizards also suffered a disastrous defeat in street fighting. Norman specifically sought confirmation from the local Nightingale and was convinced that the Tower Messenger had captured a Gaia Bishop in the Beacon Town Church on charges related to the sale of babies. After the Tower Messenger went to Gray Wing Island, the bishop was executed in the blink of an eye.
The facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it. The royal party is of course very interested in scandals about the church, but after all, the Church of Gaia is a mystical and religious organization. Through the strength of the church's backlash, Norman has already figured out the depth of it. In these troubled times, the church is not a dove to be trifled with. Speaking of which, what mysterious fulcrum is there to mess with?
So he persuaded His Highness the Prince that some matters were not worthy of attention, and it was better to leave them to the mysterious fulcrum to solve them on their own. His Highness Ister also agreed. Furthermore, Eastman could not ensure that no nobles would be involved, and he might be asking for trouble if he got involved in the name of justice. It’s not like I don’t have work to deal with right now, he thought to himself. If he interferes in the church’s internal issues, he won’t be able to take the opportunity to eradicate their influence. Maintaining friendly relations with the Silent School is the first priority.
"It's not all bad." Easter opened the car window and casually pulled off the tassel hanging on the carving. "Peyton Forest has always been inclined towards the princes of the West. His death will end this connection. With the intervention of the Silent School, the next Archbishop of the Kingdom will be more obedient."
"I'm more worried about Croita, Your Highness."
"They don't deal with the school of thought." Wang's eldest son disagreed, "This has always been the case. After the Gulf War, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not stay in Eastman any longer." He suddenly frowned, "You are talking about Uriel, right? He is indeed It is a trouble, but it is not our trouble. He is a young man, and his conflict with the school is just an impulse. Impulse. Emotions always come and go quickly."
The carriage began to move forward, its wheels running over the ravine, causing the carriage to tremble. Easter's expression also swayed. Norman heard more self-comfort in his tone. "A warning must be given," he said. "Their dispute must not extend to Iron Claw. I don't want to deal with another lion."
"We have no precedent of restricting movement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They just don't care."
"They've always been like this."
"I thought this messenger would be different." Ister admitted, "Uriel is an Eastman, even though he comes from Four Leaf City... No matter what, he would have been the link between the kingdom and the tower. "
"The relationship is not close," Norman reminded.
"It's better than nothing. As far as I know, his behavior is very suitable for serving as the Messenger Tower Messenger and the Eastman Messenger. He can convey each other's wishes, create opportunities for communication, and even ease antagonistic relationships. I think He is also willing to do this. After all, the tower is the mysterious fulcrum of Eastman. Once the link between the two is repaired, the wizards of the school will think twice before intervening in the kingdom through the church. This is really rare."
Is this really the case? "With all due respect." Norman told the prince, "This is a bit unrealistic. Uriel is indeed easier to deal with than the Lion and the White Envoy, but that is only relative." I am afraid that it is the White Envoy's difficulty in communicating. It gave them the illusion.
"Indeed." Ister sighed, "He rejected the School of Silence. It seems that in essence, Uriel and the White Envoy are not much different."
"Are you going to give up the pursuit, Your Highness?"
"I would like to hear your advice, ser." He was slightly disappointed that his plan had completely failed. Uriel and the wizard started a war in the church, and did not give the royal party a chance to communicate after the war. "But at the very least, you have to go to the White Tower to inquire about the situation and show your concern through conversation as a courtesy."
"We must know the inside story, Your Highness. Uriel, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had a conflict with the Gaia Church. No one expected that Bishop Paton would lose his life. This is very unusual. Presumably this young man was in the tower. Extraordinary status.”
The prince raised his eyebrows. "The White Envoy is the leader of the tower, and his status in the Destiny Assembly is second only to the Prophet. His apprentice will be the successor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"I don't deny it, Your Highness, but I think your understanding of him should not be limited to his identity." Of course, the Royal Party has investigated Bai Zhishi's apprentices. "Uril comes from Four Leaf City and was still a mortal during the Flame Moon. He successively participated in the local small-scale undead disaster and the Broken Moon God's descent incident that broke out in Veniwaz. Even in the recent Gulf War, He also had great achievements. Nightingale's report confirmed that he had fought against demons and dark wizards in the Battle of Iron Dragon Port. Iron Dragon Port was the area with the highest intensity of fighting that night, and it was basically a battlefield in the Sky Realm."
"It's almost like a character in an adventure story." Easter changed his position on the cushion. "It's the same as the victor Veronka defeating the evil dragon Wencespoon, isn't it? Valin found a book in the library. It is a parchment that records the historical ballads of Binya Io, and the contents on it are really fascinating.”
Norman suppressed a frown: "The victory of the Great Alliance of Saint Mirend against the evil dragon is not just a story, Your Highness, it is the history of the mysterious realm."
"Forgive me for the offense, Sir." Easter said, "Of course I know that it is history." It is just something from a thousand years ago. During this period, it has been processed and re-created countless times, and it has been passed down by word of mouth. Download different versions, and you can find fallacies by comparing them at will. This was written on his face but not spoken.
"He's a dangerous man," Norman told Eastman's crown prince. "At least I think so."
"Indeed. He was just a civilian in Yotsuba City half a year ago, but now he dares to challenge the Silent School on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the church." Prince Ister shook his head, "We still don't know him well. Envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, A high-level mysterious creature, or a clerical knight... There are so many rumors about him that it's hard to tell. Since the wizards are willing to find out the situation first, we can just sit back and enjoy the results. As for warnings, matters in the mysterious field should be left to professionals. , Sir, I believe you can handle the differences between them."
It seems that even if His Royal Highness does not pay attention to the mysterious power, he will not ignore it easily. After all, the seven fulcrums are high above the ground. Norman was relieved. "Iron Claw City will not have the chaos like Beacon Town, everything will be under control." He promised.
