Chapter 724: The Pieces Are in Place

Chapter 724 The chess pieces are in place

"So what you mean is..."

Catalina said in shock: "The royal family of San Varo found a way to lift the blood curse?"

Xu Shuo thought thoughtfully: "Not necessarily, maybe it's the same solution as the mixed descendants of the Silver City State, silencing the elven blood in their bodies."

Catalina suddenly fell into deep thought.

The more your moods rise and fall, the faster you will calm down. If you think about it carefully, breaking the curse may not be that simple.

And even though he said that.

But Xu Shuo actually had other ideas.

The original Holy See of Light was not interested in the change of the royal throne, and the Holy See of Light was not interested in the means by which Wald XVIII ascended to the throne.

As long as the royal power does not try to overthrow the divine power and override the divine power in the people's beliefs, then they will not pay attention to these things.

But now that I think about it——

Whether the wild beast riot in the hunting ground was a natural accident or a man-made accident has been impossible to determine after decades.

But as the saying goes.

Just target the biggest beneficiary of one thing.

Then half of the truth can basically be eliminated.

As for the other half, they are other beneficiaries.

But after the Hunting Ground Incident, the little prince who was unknown and had a fortune did indeed become Walder XVIII and the legitimate ruler of this huge empire.

No matter how stupid and lucky he got this position, he is indeed the biggest beneficiary.

Walder XVIII.

But he is really not as mediocre and incompetent as he appears.

Xu Shuo shook off the drop of blood, stared into the void with his silver-white eyes, and raised a smile as if he thought of something.

"why are you laughing?"

Catalina couldn't help but ask.

Every time she saw this specious smile on the young man's face, she would feel a little uncomfortable, as if something was going to go against her expectations and she would feel uncomfortable.

"Originally, I was thinking whether it would be inappropriate to bring you to the royal capital. Logically speaking, keeping you in Guangming City is the best thing to do."

Xu Shuo smiled and said, "But now there are some surprises that I didn't expect."

Catalina blinked.

Although I don’t quite understand what the specific surprise is, it seems to be related to the Saint Varro royal family having elven blood. After all, this guy has always wanted her to use the blood to suppress others when they were on the road.

Catalina was thinking about this, and was about to ask more carefully, but she continued to ask since she had nothing to do.

However, before she could speak, the leader of the Bright Moon Knights appeared in the underground temple.

Captain Haoyue is here to deliver a message.

Although the magic circle can transmit long-distance messages, some messages are not easily transmitted through magic, such as the Knights of the Sun, who have yet to receive any news.

Xu Shuo took the letter and opened it to read.

It's news from Princess Theresa.

Princess Teresa, the 19th Royal Highness of the Saint Varro Royal Family, has basically been confirmed to be in our camp, but until now, Xu Shuo and her have not had any formal communication.

At tonight's banquet, the two of them didn't even make eye contact.

And the message she sent now.

The arrangements made by the two people before have been put into action.

Xu Shuo looked at Captain Haoyue and said, "Guard the church tonight. If anyone tries to lead a team to forcefully break into the church, they will be detained for heresy, no matter who they are."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shuo looked at Catalina who was confused.

"You go too."

"I?"

Catalina was stunned.

Xu Shuo nodded: "You are now the secret envoy of the Heretic Tribunal, but you only need to stand outside to show your presence. You don't need to do anything or speak out."

Catalina: "...Oh."

To put it bluntly, he just stands there and acts like a mascot.

But she also thought that the identity this person had arranged for her at the banquet was just mentioned casually to fool the people present.

After all, the two of them had never passed Qi before.

However, I didn’t expect that even the identity was mentioned casually.

This guy also has a purpose.

Catalina muttered in her heart, put on her nun's hat again to cover her ears, and followed Captain Haoyue out of the underground temple.



Above the underground temple.

Nature is still an internal temple.

Catalina was placed inside, while the Bright Moon Knights and the Obsidian Knights pretended to be guarding the outside. Everything seemed to be no different from usual.

I don't know what will happen next.

She didn't even have time to ask.

Catalina stayed in the temple a little bored, casually looking here and there, moving casually, for who knows how long.

Finally there was some movement outside.

The next moment, Catalina was like a crowd waiting for a piece of melon. She quickly came to the door with great interest and looked out tentatively.

Although she has been told that she does not need to respond, it does not prevent her from taking a positive attitude towards the matter.

The movement has not affected this place yet.

Therefore, the Knights of the Bright Moon and the Knights of the Obsidian didn't react at all, as if they didn't hear the noise outside the church at all. They continued to work conscientiously and guarded the surroundings of the temple without squinting.

But Catalina was already staring with bright eyes.





Underground temple.

Xu Shuo was half-lying on the holy throne in a relaxed posture, trying to obtain the status of the Sun Knights and see where their journey was.

He also noticed the movement above the church.

But there is no response to this.

Because there is no need to respond to anything.

About half an hour later.

Catalina ran back excitedly with a look like "I've finished eating the melon."

"let me tell you--"

Catalina said enthusiastically: "The Seventh Royal Highness, Prince Lille, started a rebellion. He led troops into Fort Tantino in the middle of the night, but was suppressed by the imperial army within a quarter of an hour!"

Xu Shuo responded casually.

In fact, Catalina hasn’t eaten all she can.

Because actually...

On the surface, Princess Teresa is a supporter of His Royal Highness, Prince Lille, but secretly, she is a supporter of His Royal Highness, Prince Golan. In fact.

She is a loyal believer of the Holy See of Light.

Everyone wants to sit on the throne.

As early as the past ten days, His Royal Highness Prince Simon had been assassinated countless times. It was just that King Wald XVIII protected him very well, so Prince Simon has remained unscathed until now.

It looks like the coronation will take place tomorrow.

There will definitely be many people unable to sit still tonight.

Therefore, Princess Teresa adopted the attitude of "doing things for His Royal Highness Prince Golan" and drove Prince Lille to seek power and usurp the throne at this time.

Prince Lille is a foolhardy man.

So tonight's rebellion is destined to fail.

But their real purpose.

It was just to push Prince Lille out to test the attitude of King Wald XVIII and test the defensive strength of the Imperial Army.

Wait until tomorrow's coronation ceremony.

That's the real highlight.

The highlight is the Fourth Highness, Prince Golan.

But as chess pieces, they are abandoned pieces that have already been placed on the chessboard to the Holy See. They are insignificant, but they can play a role in fueling the flames.

Belonging is a dispensable existence.

So Xu Shuo didn't care about the outcome of this scene.

I just thought that the Imperial Army would take advantage of tonight's rebellion to break into the church and the villa where the Holy See Army was stationed to find out the truth.

And this is also the reason for Xu Shuo’s previous instructions.

Catalina added: "It's a pity. As soon as those people heard the name of the Heretic Tribunal, no one dared to rush in. It was disappointing."
