The target is a goddess!Sacred Path of the Scrap Succubus

"After all, the church has never had such a precedent before. And the goddess St. Gillian has always been very disgusted with these dark jobs."

Serena pouted.

"Yes, because the goddess St. Gillian is very good at fighting, so she doesn't need these methods at all."

"But we are just mortals, not invincible like goddesses."

"Even if you don't think about what will happen to Margaret in the future, you should think about yourself and His Excellency the Pope, right?"

"In case His Majesty the King thinks you are an eyesore next time, and then orders..."

Serena paused for a moment, and made a gesture of cutting down with a long knife, and then said:

"It's too late to do what you want to do at that time."

Ingrid's face turned cold.

Indeed, what the king could do to Margaret, he could do to others.

Ingrid is not very worried about herself—after a while, she will be able to safely pass on the position of chief saintess and the corresponding authority to Serena, and when she hands over these things, it will really be It doesn't matter if you die.

But she was worried about the Pope, worried about Aurora, worried about Serena.

That's right, including Serena.

It's not like Ingrid doesn't know that Serena is stronger than the others, in all aspects.

When she became the chief saintess, she had a powerful force that could destroy a city.

But it's easy to hide a sharp gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow.

It's not that Ingrid has never seen the lower limit of politicians. It really touched the core interests. Anything can happen, and anyone can be bought or coerced.

"Well, I will try my best to convince those bishops. But you have to be prepared, this will not be an issue that can be passed easily."

"We may need a long period of hard persuasion, as well as a lot of benefits exchanged under the table, to create this precedent."

Serena nodded helplessly.

No way, the church is not the pope's one-word hall, nor is there a copper pipe house in Tempus.

In other words, it is precisely because of the example of the copper pipe house in Tempus that it is more difficult for the church to pass Serena's idea.

If you want to take power away from those with vested interests, you will naturally have to pay a sufficient price.

Seeing that Serena was a little frustrated, Ingrid couldn't bear to comfort her softly:

"Don't worry too much, this time you successfully thwarted the king's plan, he will definitely restrain himself for a while."

"Besides, the current king can do this to the maximum. Since you have severely injured Stephanie, it is impossible for the king to find an assassin with enough strength to attack Margaret or you guys."

"Even the king can't break the rules again and again. This time he is smart enough to take advantage of the long-standing grievances between Stephanie and the Grant family."

"If it weren't for this relationship, he probably wouldn't be able to make up his mind."

"Even for kings, there are some things that are absolutely untouchable. Every king who tries to cross that line will inevitably suffer backlash."

"Relax, and then, you can take a good vacation."

"Also, let go of my hand. If it's not itchy, don't use those little flirting tricks on me!"

Serena let go of Ingrid's well-maintained palm with a smirk.

She could swear that she really didn't have any thoughts about Ingrid, it was just an occupational disease.

However, she immediately thought of another blind spot.

"Wait, you know that's a flirting trick?"

In her opinion, Ingrid has always been just an old-fashioned old man, who should know nothing about the relationship between men and women!

Although she knew that this person had a crush before, Serena always regarded it as unrequited love.

"Hmph, do you think I've never been in love? You underestimate me."

Ingrid glared at Serena angrily, and then a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Don't talk about it, you can go back in peace. I have news, and I will find you."

Chapter 46 When the Wind Blows

"We must investigate the attack on Saint Margaret!"

Tempus's voice was very serious and firm, which made Humphrey next to him feel that His Majesty the King had returned to normal, and showed a reassuring smile.

But Viscount Lemes, who was in front of the king, read another meaning from the eyes of the king.

Why Serena appears in the convoy;

Why are they capable of repelling Stephanie;

And, is Stephanie still looking for an opportunity to attack Margaret.

All these require the Viscount Lemes to come up with a definite answer.

"Perhaps it is necessary for us to clean up the demons in the Lim Mountains again."

Using this topic, Tempus put forward an idea that he had thought about for a long time.

"We want those demons to know who is the master of this continent."

At this time, Humphrey had to come out to remind his lord.

"Your Majesty, we are temporarily unable to initiate any military operations."

"The conquest against the Secret Art Alliance has consumed a large amount of reserves. After that, we have also undertaken a large number of supply tasks for the crusade against the half-orcs in the southwest region."

"If the loss of ordnance is not too big and can be tolerated, in terms of military rations, it cannot support a large-scale military operation."

Tempus hesitated for a moment and asked:

"It's just the demons scattered in the mountains, isn't that enough?"

Humphrey shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the Virgin's Levee is also at a critical period. A large number of local people and food are concentrated on that project."

"This also means that the human and material resources in the eastern region cannot be freed in recent months."

"In addition, it will soon be the busy season of farming. If manpower and food are allocated at this time, it will have a very negative impact on this year's harvest."

"Now is really not the time, Your Majesty."

Tempus patted his forehead.

Indeed, he really forgot that there is still this big project consuming resources in the local area.

In the long run, this is a great thing to increase national power, but in the short term, this is a debuff that restricts one's hands.

"Okay, then let those demons be happy for a while."

Tempus said a little sullenly.

"Is there anything else that needs my attention, Humphrey?"

Humphrey nodded respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The church has recently stepped up internal purges. If there are no accidents, there will be some turmoil there within this year."

"According to the agreement between you and Ercle III, we should order the judge, the magistrate, etc. to cooperate with him at this time, and let him complete the cleansing of the church."

"Ah, yes, there is such a thing."

Tempus froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Of course I will fulfill my promise to help my friend stabilize the situation."

"After all, the moths on his side have been cleaned up, so that he can better help me deal with the Arcane Alliance..."

But at this time, what Tempus thought was:

'Oops, has it gotten to this stage yet? '

'If the integration is completed over there, the current me may really not be enough to deter Ercle III. '

'I need to do something, can't make him so smooth...'

However, on the surface, Tempus still gave Humphrey such an order.

"Just follow the previous method, let the chief judge take the lead, organize relevant departments to study the regulations together, and cooperate with the church's affairs."

Humphrey nodded, and then looked towards Viscount Lemes.

Tempus immediately understood what he meant, smiled and shook his head.

"There is no need to do this this time. I believe that Hercule III already has enough power to dig out those moths. Now we need to conduct more spying on the Arcane Alliance. Let's not participate in Lemes' side. gone."

Although Humphrey was a little disappointed, he didn't want to talk too much about such ambiguous matters, so he left and arranged for His Majesty the King's instructions.

After Humphrey left, Tempus looked at Viscount Lemes with a cold look, and said:

"This time, you need to do things differently than before."

"I believe you already know who are the ones who oppose my friends. I also believe that you know who are the core of them."

"Keep them—yes, you heard me right."

"Others don't matter, but for the most critical ones, you have to find a way to separate them from the exposed waste on the periphery."

"I don't need a church with one voice, you see that?"

Viscount Lemes nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do it."

"Then let's do it."

Tempus pointed to the door, indicating that Viscount Lemes could leave.

Lemes walked out of the room, and after the door was closed, he turned his head and looked at the room with worried eyes.

"Your Majesty, if you continue like this, the country will..."

But so what if he's just a black glove on a dishonorable mission?

In the end, Viscount Lemes could only walk out of the palace with a little melancholy.

"Aurora, are you really ready?"

In the study, Elcle III looked at his disciple with a rare serious expression.

Aurora met her teacher's gaze without hesitation, and said firmly:

"Yes, I am ready, sir."

Seeing Aurora's resolute attitude, Elcle III nodded slowly.

"That's good. Next, you need to flexibly use your abilities and your contacts to deal with the people on this list."

Aurora watched her teacher push a thick stack of paper from the desk, took a few deep breaths, and picked it up.

She took a quick glance and found that there were many senior church leaders at the level of bishops among them!

"They may not all be guilty, but their position determines that they can only become our hindrance."

"You can use all the means you can think of, such as exchanging benefits with them, or investigating their crimes, or other means you think are appropriate."

"In short, by the end of the year, these people are either out of key positions, or they are willing to swear allegiance to me or you - it doesn't matter."

"Please don't forget that the resources you can use include Serena, Ingrid, and me. We are all your backing, and you can act boldly."

Aurora nodded, then her expression changed, and she asked hesitantly:

"Teacher, why me? In fact, from the very beginning, Serena was more suitable for this job, right?"

Elcle III smiled and shook his head.

"No, you are always the most suitable. Although Serena can do this several times easier than you, she is not the most suitable, it has always been like this."

"You know, she can't be the light—but you can, that's all."

Aurora looked at the teacher in surprise, she didn't understand what Elcle III meant.
