I have a role in the heavens

Chapter 2362 The truth about the assassination, Sard’s ambition

"Oh, as expected of Her Majesty Ivan Vincent and Her Majesty the Queen, they have been able to sustain it for so long. I can understand that the epic knight can have such resistance, but Her Majesty the Queen's performance surprised me!"

"Haha! Let me guess, it must be Her Majesty the Queen's bloodline that can eliminate the power of the curse. It is really an enviable top bloodline!"

Primas moved his wrists, as if he was ready to take action. He gently took off his cloak, revealing a body that gave people nightmares. It was a body covered with abscesses, either light yellow or dark green pus. The water bubbled gurglingly, corroding everything, leaving only a few pieces of fabric on the clothes. Suddenly, Primas turned into a dark green spear and stabbed towards Ivan Vincent.

Ivan Vincent shook his head and stopped pretending. He had gotten the information he wanted from Primas' performance and deduced the truth of the matter.

"Curse the angel, Gwell!"

"Your acting skills are so poor, it makes people feel ridiculous!"

A long sword appeared in Ivan Vincent's hand, the sword of contract. With a slight wave, the starlight flashed through, and a crack was cut in the space. It flashed past, and the spear was cut into two pieces. The body fell to the ground.

The color in the corpse's eyes faded, revealing a dull, dead white color, with a strong look of disbelief. Apparently, he did not expect that Ivan Vincent was not poisoned, nor did he expect that his true identity would be revealed by Ivan Vincent. One word to the point.

Ivan Vincent didn't bother to look at the corpse on the ground, and took out a bottle of magic potion from his arms. This was purification water that he personally refined, which could remove all negative conditions, toxins, and curses.

Ivan Vincent helped Natasha and Camille removed the poison and curse, and then helped Duke James and others detoxify.

Ivan Vincent stood in front of Earl David, but did not help him detoxify. He looked down at David on the ground playfully and said with a smile.

"How long are you going to keep pretending? Your acting skills are really bad. I saw through you from the beginning. I only acted with you in order to wait for the cursed angel Gwell to appear!"

Earl David was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and stood up with great ease. At this point, there was nothing to disguise. His eyes showed a hint of despair and madness.

Duke James was furious when he saw this. A layer of golden dragon scales appeared on his skin. The pressure from the top of the food chain emanated. He pressed towards Earl David and asked sternly.

"David, is it really you?"

"Tell me, why are you doing this? Are you crazy?"

Earl David understood that all the plans had been exposed. This kind of assassination of the lord was an unforgivable crime among the nobles. He had no hope at all, so he laughed crazily and became extremely crazy.

"Why should I do this? It's not all your fault!"

"We asked you to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen?"

Duke James roared angrily, like a dragon roaring at David.

David took two deep breaths of air, and a faint floral fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, which was extremely intoxicating, and he sighed.

"What a sweet floral fragrance, just like intoxicating hope. Since I was born, you have kept telling me that Crown Prince Patrick is in poor health and may not live long, and he will definitely leave no heirs. I will definitely be the one to ascend the throne in the future. .”

"So I keep training myself all the time, improving my level of knighthood, demanding myself with noble moral character at all times, constantly moving closer to you and the Magic Council, and not letting any flaws affect my future ascension to the throne. Take control of the entire Holm and hope that in the future, through resonance with the Sword of Truth, you can touch the mystery of the epic knight."

"My life seems to be for the throne, but you suddenly gave up on me. Choose this inexplicable queen! How long has she lived in Holm? Has she made even the slightest effort for the throne? I’m not willing to give in, I’m not willing to give in! I want to get back what belongs to me!”

Hearing David's crazy narration, James looked slightly embarrassed. They chose David to train as a backup choice because of his identity and tendency to get close to the Magic Council, but they had Queen Natasha who was more suitable. After that, he naturally abandoned Earl David without hesitation.

Little did they know that Earl David's desire for the throne had reached the point of madness. It was really unexpected. It was like a dog that had been raised since childhood and suddenly bit his master, which was shocking.

However, as a veteran aristocrat, James's skin had long been as thick as a city wall. The awkward mood only lasted for a few seconds before it dissipated, and the low voice sounded again, saying angrily.

"Gwell, Night Watch! How dare the church do such crazy things?"

Duke James looked at the two pieces of Gwell's body on the ground, and the veins in his forehead jumped. It turned out to be a night watchman! They radically killed a baron who was close to the parliament, and assassinated His Excellency Ivan Vincent. They had just dealt with the impact of this incident, and they actually dared to assassinate him again. They were crazy!

At this moment, Duke James was full of disgust and revulsion towards the Night Watch and the Church. If they were not needed to balance the Magic Parliament, he would definitely support the expulsion of the Church from the Kingdom of Holm!

After hearing David's answer, Natasha, Russell, Camille and others all had almost the same expression.

David noticed Duke James's face and smiled even more cheerfully. He was completely broken and continued to speak.

"Angry and desperate for the church? Then let me tell you something even more irritating."

"What?"

Duke James showed a trace of confusion, looked at Earl David, and asked sternly.

David smiled very happily, not caring about Duke James's anger at all, and said very cheerfully.

"Don't you think about it, is it so easy for me, a noble who is close to the Magic Council, to get to know and conspire with the top ten guys in the Night Watch in a short period of time? Will the unwillingness in my heart explode so quickly? Let me tell you, It was all the nobles close to the church who seduced me and induced the devil in me!"

"Haha, they don't want the kingdom to fall into civil war, so they asked Gewell to pretend to be the venomous demon of the Dark Parliament. When the matter is over, when you elect me as king, you will find that the most conservative nobles actually agree with your opinions!"

"When the time comes, you will definitely think that they are doing this to appease you, to jointly maintain a stable and united situation and tide over the current difficulties!"

Duke James' face was extremely gloomy and ugly, and his voice was full of coldness as he asked.

"Who is it? Any noble who tries to assassinate the lord must be hanged!"

Assassinating the Queen was done secretly, but it didn't matter if it could be hidden from most people. But if it is exposed, it will be the most serious crime that challenges the order of existence of the entire aristocratic class.

"Earl Barady, the Duke of York, and perhaps His Excellency Chancellor Rex."

David answered with a smile, betraying them without a care in the world, and even adding fuel to the fire. Now that he is no longer able to ascend the throne and is about to face death, what is the point of keeping the Kingdom of Holm intact and prosperous? Let's split as soon as possible, start a civil war, and turn Holm into ruins. Count David wants Holm to be buried with him. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will destroy it!

Duke James's face became extremely ugly, and he spoke word by word in an extremely cold voice.

"I will let magicians, knights who are proficient in torture, and tribunal personnel interrogate you respectively. I hope you are not lying."

It would be easier to handle it if only Count Baladi was the only one, but behind the Duke of York is the epic knight Ctonia, and Rex is the spiritual leader of the conservatives. If they are involved in this incident, they must handle the matter carefully and not be too cautious. It was too casual, and David might not be telling the truth.

"The result will not disappoint you, Your Excellency Duke, don't you think about why His Highness the Prince died by such a coincidence? Haha!"

David laughed, not caring that they finally saw through his embarrassment. Anyway, the seeds of doubt had been planted!

Hearing Earl David point out the mysterious death of Prince Patrick without any concealment, Duke James's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water, as if a storm was about to blow, and Natasha also gathered her will, with a look in her purple eyes. Exuding coldness and ruthlessness.

Ivan Vincent did not participate in the discussion of several people. His energy was focused on other places. A strange smile appeared on his face and he murmured in a low voice.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

"Sard, Fernando, and Hathaway are all here!"

"The Cardinal of the Church of Truth will actually appear together with the two great arcanists. What do you want to do, Salde? I'm really looking forward to it!"

In mid-air, Storm Lord Fernando stared at the void in front of him with bright red eyes. To his left stood the cold Hathaway, and behind him crouched the obedient dragon Afris, which was Fernando's magic mount.

"Sard, why do you want us to stand by and do nothing instead of stopping it in advance?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Fernando looked solemn as he stared at a group of figures condensed in the air not far away.

This group of figures is the projection of Sard. He does not dare to face the two great arcanists with his real body. It is simply a door-to-door delivery, a meat bun beating a dog. The Holy Spirit priest is not like the legendary magician, who has rich and strange methods. Unpredictable and difficult to kill.

"Cooperation, I want to cooperate!"

When Fernando and Hathaway heard this, their expressions changed, and they teamed up to set up a lot of magic to prevent prying eyes. There were countless murderous intentions hidden in the seemingly empty and flat sky.

After doing all this, Fernando looked at the human figure condensed in the air with bright red eyes and continued to ask.

"Are you going to work with us, the two of us, or the Council?"

"The cooperation I want cannot be supported by just the two of you. The Magic Council is obviously stronger than the Northern Church in terms of high-level strength and middle- and lower-level personnel, but it can only shrink to Arlinge, Lentat, Cities such as Kux cannot join forces with the nobles like the Northern Church to control a huge empire and the many kingdoms and principalities that vassal it. This is simply a disgrace to the reputation of the second largest force in the Magic Council."

"That's because we grew from weak to strong. Unlike the Northern Church, which had some strength to compete with the Southern Church from the beginning, and had the full support of the northern nobles."

Fernando behaved extremely calmly at this time, without any of his usual irritability. The Grand Arcanist's wisdom and fortitude were far beyond ordinary people. His usual behavior was just unwilling to restrain himself.

"Sard, how do you want to cooperate with the Magic Council?"

"It will take more than a year for His Majesty the Pope to resume using the Divine Descending Technique again. Therefore, one year is a good time point. At that time, I will close Lentat's teleportation array so that the Magic Council does not have to worry about any dangers. Members of the College of Cardinals came to support, and they diverted from the Holy City of Reims for at least half an hour. Half an hour was enough for the Magic Council to take control of the Kingdom of Holm and other places, and push the front line to the storm. The strait is up!”

There seemed to be a storm passing through Fernando's bright red pupils, indicating that he was not calm. Although Hathaway remained indifferent and cold, her focused eyes also expressed her concern.

For the Magic Council, if they want to control the other side of the Storm Strait, they must pull out the nail of the Glorious Cathedral. And the biggest problem in pulling out this nail is the super-large teleportation array within the magical circle. Due to the special nature of the magical barrier itself , it is not affected by the external space anchor and is difficult to block in advance. But now, Salde actually said that he would close the church's teleportation array and help the Magic Council push the front to the Storm Strait!

"Sard, what's your purpose?"

"What do you want to get out of this? What about the cardinals of the other four dioceses, the epic knights?"

Fernando didn't believe that Salde would be so kind to help the Magic Council without any purpose. How could this be possible?

"I want to do like the pope of the Northern Church, split the church, reorganize a Holy See with my own ideas, and get closer to the great Lord."

"The area across the Storm Strait is a good choice. I will reform the church's program and return the right to interpret the "Holy Code" to the believers. It will become the religion of truth for the nobles, and become the religion of truth for every believer, and work with them. Completely integrated together, in this way, there will be essentially no difference between the church and the nobility that I control, and they will still be allies that you can cooperate with."

"This is also an acceptable balance for the epic knights and nobles. Before the Southern Church is completely wiped out, you cannot abandon them and you will definitely respect them."

"I am sure to win over one of the four cardinals now. I have mastered some secrets in the world of the dead. After a year, I am sure to win over one or two more. The rest should not be difficult for you to expel or Eliminate, as long as the time difference is grasped, the epic knights will understand the situation. And now that I have won over the Heart of Time, you have been operating in the Storm Strait for so long, it is impossible that you have not won over the epic knights."

Fernando did not answer, acquiescing to Salde's guess. There are epic knights in several countries who are secretly attracted by the Magic Council. However, before the situation changes, it is impossible for these epic knights to betray the church and even follow the church to surround the Magic Council. .

"In this way, the authority of the theocracy will be greatly reduced. Even if you can win over the three cardinals, there is still a big gap between you and the aristocratic power, and you will definitely be suppressed by them. Aren't you worried?"

Fernando looked at Salde with some confusion and asked about his doubts. He wanted to find out what Salde was thinking, otherwise he would always worry about whether this was a conspiracy of the church.

Salde shook his head and explained without any concealment.

"What I want is faith, and what I want is to get closer to the Lord. The rest are all illusions. If you are willing to cooperate and swear an oath to the origin of the world, you must emphasize these two aspects. I will also do it with faith. Make the promise to close the teleportation array."

The Oath of the Origin of the World and the Oath of the Heart of Faith are the most powerful oaths among magicians and priests. If they are violated, they will suffer huge backlash. The magician's cognitive world will collapse, and the priest's faith will collapse. As long as When you make these two kinds of oaths, you cannot go back on them. You can only abide by the oaths and cannot break them.

"This matter is very important. We cannot agree to it immediately. We must convene a meeting of the Supreme Council to discuss it."

Fernando looked solemn. Such a major matter requires a vote by the twenty-four members of the Magic Parliament.

Salde laughed. He knew the Magic Council very well. This was the proper procedure. Fernando said this, which meant that he was tempted.

"this is necessary."

As soon as he finished speaking, the projection condensed by Salde disappeared. Hathaway stared at the air quietly for a long time before speaking.

"Fernando, do you believe everything he says?"

"It seems that there are no loopholes, and it is an opportunity worth seizing. However, we must be prepared for emergencies in case he has other plans."

Fernando clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the glorious cathedral in the city. The holy light was bright and dazzling, but it was a thorn in the side of the Magic Council. If it could be removed, it would be acceptable to pay some price.

In the secret room, Ivan Vincent withdrew his extremely secret mental power, and a smile appeared on his face, full of deep meaning, thinking secretly.

"It turns out that the god in Sald's body is the god-like one from the world of the dead. It seems that he knew some secrets in the world of the dead. Otherwise, he would never have wavered in his faith and had the idea of ​​establishing his own business. It is even possible that he discovered I learned some secrets of the God of Truth and learned the true identity of this true God!”

"An evil magician is the god believed in by the Church of Truth. This is such a shocking fact. When Salde knew this, his face must have been very interesting. If he hadn't obtained a part of the god-like origin, it helped him stabilize Faith, he is afraid that it will turn into a bright firework of holy light!"

"Your Excellency Ivan Vincent, Your Majesty the Queen, please go to the guest room to rest for a while while I deal with the scene, and then notify Your Excellency Heart of Time to come and protect you."

Duke James bowed respectfully and ordered Ivan Vincent and Natasha to be taken to the guest room, and then he began to deal with the matter.

Half an hour later, Duke James led a tall, gray-haired old man in. His dark blue eyes seemed to contain an endless river of time. This man was the epic knight, the legendary third-level Heart of Time. Tonya.

Ketonia's face was heavy, she bowed respectfully to Natasha and said.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of York made a big mistake and was involved in the assassination of you. But please see that he was just a spectator and did not participate in the plot. Please spare his life. The Ctonia family and I will be even more grateful. Guard you loyally."

Ketonia had obtained a confession from David and went directly to Natasha to confess, hoping to seek compromise and exchange.
