Working Prophet.

Chapter 207 Beware of Theocracy
Ilea's words were well-founded, and they touched the hearts of many people. In fact, as early as when the black dragon launched attacks on the important figures of the major families, many people suspected that there was something behind it. There is a master messenger hidden.

Of course, the main emissary would not be Gabriel, who is a foreigner. Gabriel may be able to control the black dragon, but he doesn't know much about the nobles in the western region, especially when the black dragon chose a few times to attack. Said very cleverly.

For example, the time it killed Stiles, the Patriarch of the Lessert family, was on his way to inspect the fortifications. At that time, Stiles had only a few guards around him, so it was very easy to succeed.

But it is not easy to obtain this kind of information. It is reasonable for the female lord to speculate that the person is high and powerful, because usually only those who are rich and powerful will spend time and energy to form a similar intelligence network to investigate News from other families.

And only they might be able to use the information.Especially considering that many of the deceased supported David, Hulse's suspicion was undoubtedly the biggest.

However, when it comes to the Figuerola family, most people still choose to keep their mouths shut and remain silent on this matter.

The girl continued, "Gabriel has already admitted his relationship with Hells. The Prophet Merlin recorded his voice. I can play it to you now, or we can interrogate Gabriel immediately... ..."

"What exactly do you want?" David's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Justice, I hope that those who participated in the murder of my father will get the punishment they deserve." Ilea said without hesitation.

Following her words, the banquet hall fell silent again

If what the girl said is true, it will undoubtedly be an extremely serious blow to the reputation of the Figuerola family. Important members of the family murdered the loyal vassals of the family, and then colluded with outsiders, using the black dragon to wreak havoc and eradicate dissidents. It has brought serious losses to many nobles in the western region.

This is probably the most serious scandal in the empire in the past century.

It stands to reason that this kind of matter should not be mentioned in the open, and it was proposed by the head of the Arias family who has always been loyal to the Figueirola family, but most people in the banquet hall can understand this.

It is precisely because this scandal is so shocking that the female lord chooses to make it public at this time. In this way, it will be difficult for the Figuerola family to take a low-key approach. This is a very smart approach.

Sure enough, David said afterwards, "I will start investigating this matter immediately... You can get my guarantee that if the truth is as you said, none of the murderers who murdered your father will escape."

After a pause, he added, "Including my younger brother, I swear on the honor of the Figuerola family that the blood debt will be paid in blood. Are you satisfied now, Miss Ilea?"

The girl nodded.

"Then please take a seat. Everyone is waiting for you to start the lunch. After waiting for so long, I am hungry."

That being said, when the banquet really started, David didn't take a few bites, so he found an excuse to leave.

And just as he left the banquet hall on his front foot, Ilea chased him out again on his back foot.

Being stopped by the female lord from behind, David's face obviously showed a bit of impatience, but he finally stopped, turned around and said.

"Miss Ilea, do I need to remind you that this banquet is specially held for you to celebrate your success in slaying the dragon and becoming a hero in the western region. As today's protagonist, I think you should try to stay behind you as much as possible." room, isn't it?"

"Then as the owner of this place, why did you leave the table in such a hurry, Sir David?" the girl asked back.

"Of course I did what I promised." David said, "I'm going to find some excuse to send someone to summon Sir Carloman to Rock Snow City to investigate the relationship between him and my brother.

"As for why I'm in such a hurry, it's because some people don't want to believe me, and they have revealed everything in public, but this way, there will be too many people watching. If I don't hurry up, I will wait until Carloman gets the news before trying to arrest him. But it's not that easy."

"I'm sorry, Lord David." The female lord said, "I do have some vengeance."

"Understandable, if you have nothing else to do..."

"Actually, I do have something else. When Gabriel was interrogating him, he inadvertently revealed a piece of news. I think it is necessary to let you know."

"what news?"

"Gabriel said that his people are about to cross the ocean to invade the continent of Bratis, and enslave all the races on this land for their mother goddess."

David raised his eyebrows, "Really, under what circumstances did he say such a thing?"

"I know what you're thinking, he just said that to threaten me, but it's not true, he said it in his own language."

"Then how do you..."

"It's not me, it's Prophet Merlin. He can understand all languages, no matter whether the language is from the continent of Bratis or from somewhere else."

"Prophet Merlin?" David pondered for a moment, "Speaking of Prophet Merlin, Silvermoon Church asked me to send you a message. They want to have a good talk with you."

"I don't think there is anything to talk about with them," the girl said.

"Don't refuse in such a hurry, you are still a believer of Picia, and I have a little understanding of the conditions that the Silver Moon Church is going to offer. To be honest, even I am a little tempted, even if you don't plan to agree to them. , there is always no harm in listening, as long as you nod, I can arrange for you to meet right away."

"Uh, I...I'm still missing, I don't want Merlin to misunderstand."

"Loyalty, I understand that the virtues passed down by the Arias family for thousands of years are not only for their lords, but also for their allies." David said, "It's admirable, but I still want to remind you, Miss Ilea, If your father is still alive, these words should have been said by him."

"What?"

"Be wary of theocracy at all times, it can help you consolidate your rule, but it can also become your enemy."

"But Silvermoon Church..."

"Silver Moon Church is just a tiger without minions, and it is too old, it has long lost its ambitions, and only wants to continue to maintain the stable life of the past, but Merlin and his Shuangxiu Church, I don't deny them Very capable, but it is precisely because of this that they are so dangerous."

"Merlin is not an enemy, he is the reason why I can still stand here."

"It's true at this stage, but unfortunately, there is no eternal relationship in this world. Enjoy your celebration banquet. I will let you know if there is any progress in the investigation."

"There is also the matter of the winged army..." the girl reminded.

"I will also interrogate Gabriel, and once I have a result, I will also speak to His Majesty the Emperor, but I don't know if he can listen to it." David sighed.

"His Majesty... is there any problem with him?" Ilea wondered.

"As I said, we must always be on guard against divine power. In the past two years, His Majesty has been crazy about a god called the Goddess of Life. He hardly listens to other people's voices...Father, he left the Western Territory for this matter. Now, as courtiers, we shouldn't discuss these things in private."

David seemed to be quite afraid of the goddess of life, and after saying a few words, he was unwilling to continue. He nodded at the female lord again, then turned and left.
