Austin carried out these two great gods, and all the nobles, big and small, who came to the imperial city to have an audience were immediately as quiet as if they were chatting. No one dared to touch this bad luck again.
A large group of people left just as quickly as they came. In an instant, there were only a few people left in the main hall of the imperial city.
"Hmph! These people are so short-sighted. Do they think that the reason why the emperor made Zhang Yunfeng a Duke is because he is really dim-sighted and confused?" Austin snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"His Majesty is only fifty years old and has reached the level of a god. How can ordinary people like us be able to guess what such a great talent thinks and plans?" Sword Saint Hank stood on the side of the throne.
, flattered and said: "Every god-level powerhouse has at least a thousand years of life. The Rockwell Empire will definitely open up new territories and unify the entire human kingdom under the leadership of His Majesty."
"Hank, when did you learn to flatter those people?" Glancing at Hank, who had a low eyebrow, Austin said lightly, but as he spoke, there was an unconcealable smile on his lips. Apparently,
It's very useful for Hank's flattery.
As a king, he does not hope to open up new territories and achieve prosperity. In particular, Austin is also an ambitious monarch. This kind of desire for hegemony is naturally much greater than that of other kings of small countries. Since he succeeded to the throne
, although the territory of Rockwell Empire has not expanded, its overall military strength has doubled, and its military strength ranks second among the three major empires. From this, we can see his methods.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that every word of yours is spoken from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no falsehood in it." Hank trembled slightly and quickly lowered his head.
"Forget it, I don't mean to blame you, get up!" Austin waved his hand gently, and said calmly: "You have nothing to do here, you can go out."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hank bowed hastily and exited the palace.
"Crack!"
With the sound of the door, calm returned to the palace again. It seemed that no one else was present except Austin, at least on the surface.
With his head resting on the solid gold backrest, Austin squinted his eyes slightly, and his spiritual thoughts spread quietly. He scanned around and found that no one was nearby. He tilted his head slightly, facing the right side of the throne.
He said: "Do you think I am right or wrong in promoting Zhang Yunfeng to Duke this time?"
He seemed to be talking to himself or asking someone else.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice with no joy or sadness, no emotion at all, and an extremely indifferent voice suddenly came from the space on the right side of the throne: "My duty is only to protect the safety of the royal family, and I have no regard for your majesty's decision.
The right to intervene. However, as to whether this matter is right or wrong, I think your Majesty must know it well, so why bother asking me again!"
If the group of nobles just left and came back again, and heard these words, they would definitely think that the person who spoke must be a madman. Otherwise, how could they have the guts to talk to Austin like this.
"Oh! Then what do you think I think?" Out of anticipation, he seemed to respect the owner of that voice, and there was a bit of respect in his tone.
"In my impression, since you succeeded to the throne, although you have done many things that have broken through the previous majesties, you still do not regard the precedents of your ancestors as nothing. This time, you jumped two levels and promoted the little guy to a duke.
I'm afraid it's just your first move, and there must be other plans later. If your prediction is correct, you want to use that little guy as a guide to pull the Holy See of Light behind the Kingdom of Glory into the whirlpool." The voice in the dark said with certainty.
"Keep talking!" Austin nodded unconsciously when he heard the words. It was obvious that the man in the dark had guessed what he was thinking. This secret guard had been the guardian of the royal family since his grandfather's generation, and he was very familiar with the situation in the empire.
His understanding is even better than his own, so it’s not surprising that he can guess this.
In fact, the existence of the Holy See of Light has always been a serious concern for the Rockwell Empire.
Not only do the Holy See of Light have many powerful people, but the number of believers even accounts for 5% of the entire human kingdom, and there are many fanatical believers among them..-/--Full text of the advertisement: As long as the Holy See of Light gives an order, these believers may transform at any time.
, becoming a thorn in their hands. If they were just ordinary civilians, it would be nothing. But if some high-ranking officials in the empire also became loyal believers of the God of Light, the harm to the empire would definitely be beyond imagination.
For this reason, for the leaders of the empire, the existence of the Holy See of Light is too harmful. Even if the Rockwell Empire has been resisting the activities of the Holy See of Light in the empire, Austin dare not confirm that in
How many high-ranking officials in the empire have been brainwashed by the Holy See of Light and have secretly become their followers?
"Eradicating the Holy See of Light is the goal of every emperor, and I think His Majesty will be no exception. Unfortunately, the Holy See is so powerful and has so many experts. For just one Pope of Light, no one in the empire can be his opponent. This is also the view of His Majesty on the Holy See of Light.
The reason for being tolerant everywhere. However, the appearance of that little guy named Zhang Yunfeng gave His Majesty hope."
The man in the dark said softly: "From the information brought back by the envoys from the Elf Forest and Dragon Valley, these two tribes seem to have a good impression of the little guy. In addition, Bruce said before that the little guy had been in the Cemetery of the Gods.
Among the younger generations who have saved the two tribes, there is a golden dragon. Although the dragon clan is very powerful, the number of its members is very small, and the golden dragon is almost the default future dragon king."
"If that little guy dies in the hands of the Holy See of Light, whether it is to repay a favor or to maintain the prestige of the giant dragon clan, there will inevitably be a tough battle between the giant dragon clan and the Holy See of Light. Even if the Holy See of Light wins in the end, it will only be
A tragic victory. If the elves also join in, it is still unknown whether the Holy See can win. Once that time comes, you will not let go of such a great opportunity, right?"
"That's right." There was an unconcealable excitement in Austin's voice. Just as the secret guard said, promoting Zhang Yunfeng to Duke was part of his plan from the beginning, and the ultimate goal of the plan was
It is to let the three major forces of the Holy See of Light, the Dragon Clan, and the Elf Clan fight each other. Only in this way can he have a chance to benefit from it.
"It's just that I'm confused as to what other plans you have in the future." The light in the space on the right side of the throne was distorted, revealing a figure. The man was covered in a black robe, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the two previous worshipers.
Similar, but the aura exuded by the whole body is much stronger than that of the two demigods: "I remember three days ago, you met with the secret envoy of the Holy See of Light. It seems that the Holy See still wants something from you?"
"Second Consecration, let's not mention that matter. Those hypocrites from the Holy See of Light said they wanted to help the current Pope's grandson act as a matchmaker to marry the granddaughter of the Baroque Sword Master. They also said that this guy has been in love with Cornish for a long time. It's really ridiculous.
This emperor has become a fool." Austin sneered, no
He said disdainfully: "Baroque's granddaughter Cornis has obtained the inheritance of the main god in the cemetery of the gods this time. It is only a matter of time before she becomes the main god in the future. Giving those conditions is like asking the emperor to send out a future main god. If you really want to
If you do that, I will be the real fool."
"I have also seen it. After receiving the inheritance from the Lord God, Cornis's strength has improved rapidly. She was already at the peak of the Saint level ten days ago. The Grand Priest has calculated that in at most one month, she will be able to understand the law and be promoted to the God level.
"The second worshiper sighed and said: "The inheritance of the main god is extraordinary. It took me two years to break through from the peak of the holy level to the early stage of the pseudo-god, but that little girl only needed one month.
It’s really incomparable!”
"Do you know which main god the inheritance that Cornis inherited came from?" Austin narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.
"According to the ANBU records, Conis's original physique belonged to wind, and her elemental affinity was barely high." The second worshipper pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "But according to my observation, since she came back from the Cemetery of the Gods, her
Although the original attribute still has the wind element, it has an extra earth element as thick as a mountain, and the elemental affinity is at least super. From this, it can be inferred that the main godhead she inherited should belong to the earth element."
"It seems that in the age of gods there is only one main god who understands the earth element? Could it be that the godhood inherited by Cornis is hers?" Austin suddenly thought of something, and suddenly stood up from the throne, his face extremely excited.
Yes, only the godhead of the great Lord God can give a girl with average qualifications a talent comparable to that of a monster and a prodigy in a short period of time.
"We haven't determined yet whether the main god inheritance that Cornis inherited belongs to that person." Although Austin didn't say it clearly, the second worshiper still guessed who the person he was talking about was, after all, it came from the period of the gods.
, and there is only one person who is powerful in the earth law: "But it should also be inseparable from ten."
"Send the order and ask the Consecration Court to send out experts to protect Conis from today and ensure her safety." Sitting back on the throne, Austin ordered with a serious look. If Conis really inherits the throne, then
The inheritance of a main god, as long as she is given enough time to grow up, even if her current plan to design the Holy See of Light fails, when Cornis fully integrates the main personality and reaches the height of that main god, the Holy See of Light will not be enough.
For fear.
The most important thing at the moment is to protect Conis first. Austin believes that he can think of this, and the Holy See of Light can also think of it. Even the Holy See sent a secret envoy here, probably because he took a fancy to it.
This is why he would not hesitate to put down his always strong figure and come to propose marriage.
It can be foreseen that once the Holy See's secret envoy conveys his opinions back to the Holy See headquarters, the high-level leaders of the Holy See will definitely send killers to kill Conis. This is obviously foreseeable and cannot be used by me, and it must not be used by the enemy.
Even though he is a senior member of the Holy See of Light, he will definitely do this.
"That's not necessary!" Erzongsheng shook his head and said.
"Why?" Austin raised his eyebrows and asked in a displeased tone. Cornish is the future main god, and her future value is no less than the sum of all the military power of the entire empire. Such a high value is doomed to her.
His safety is no less dangerous than that of his own emperor.
Even he can die, but Conis must live.
You know, when Conis grows up, the empire will be equivalent to having a patron saint who can guarantee its prosperity for tens of thousands of years. Why worry about the little ones in the Glory Kingdom still dare to invade.
Facing Austin's question, the second priest's face hidden under the black robe was expressionless, and there was no change in emotion in his tone: "After confirming the inheritance of Conis' main god, the chief priest personally intervened in this matter.
He was worried that the Royal Magic Martial Arts Academy would not be able to protect Connie with only Bruce, the new false god, and a few other holy magisters, so he specially sent three priests and four priests to sneak into the Royal Magic Martial Arts Academy to take charge of Connie.
Silk safety alert.”
"So that's it!" After stopping the explanation of the second worshiper, Austin's doubts disappeared. The original secret guard who served as his daily safety was not the second worshipper, but the early worshipers of the other two demigods. The second worshipper usually stayed at
The Enshrining Academy devotes itself to cultivation. However, ten days ago, the two demigod enshrinements were transferred away, and the Enshrining Academy could not spare any other manpower for a while, so the second enshrined person was temporarily released from seclusion to serve as his secret guard.
Because this matter was arranged by the Great Enshrinement himself, Austin did not suspect anything. He just thought that the Great Enshrinement had other matters to be handed over to the two demigods, so he asked the Second Enshrinement to come forward. So he didn’t ask any more questions. After all, the Enshrinement
The existence of the Court is only to safeguard the safety of the royal family, but it does not accept the emperor's orders. Even if he is the king of a country, there is no way to make the Court to obey orders.
But he didn't expect that the great priest would transfer the two priests and send them to the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts. Austin was not surprised by this, since the Holy See of Light already knew that there were people in the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts.
Lutz, the false god, exists, so in order to obliterate Cornis, the Holy See of Light will definitely send out a strong man at the demigod level.
Once a god-level strongman starts fighting, he will easily affect the area for several miles around. Two worshipers take action, one to hold the enemy back, and the other to protect the target, so as to ensure the safety of Conis.
"There are three and four priests here. Unless the Holy See of Light sends out those cardinals or the perverts from the Inquisition, there is no way they can touch Cornis." The second priest said confidently.
"Since the great minister has already arranged everything, I'm relieved." Austin said with a smile.
"Compared to the situation at the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts, I am still more worried about your plan to plot against the Holy See of Light this time." The voice changed, and the second priest said solemnly: "On the surface, the Holy See of Light has an invincible figure like the Pope of Light.
There is an existence of the Patron God, and the three cardinals under it are almost the ultimate beings at the peak of demigods, as well as all kinds of powerful people hidden in the Inquisition. If they know your plan, I am afraid they will not give up."
"You don't need to worry about this. I have my own arrangements to ensure that even if the Holy See of Light knows about my guy, they may not dare to take action against the Empire." Austin smiled and said: "I never thought about going against the Holy See of Light.
, Zhang Yunfeng is one of the pawns in my plan. Although he will die in the end, he will not die in our hands, but in the hands of the forces under the Holy See."
"Death in the hands of the forces under the Holy See? What do you mean?" The second worshipper looked at Austin with some confusion.
"Have you forgotten that there are inscriptions in the imperial laws that stipulate that nobles at the duke level must rush to the fief within one month after being enfeoffed and cannot leave the fief for ten years." Austin smiled mysteriously.
"This is indeed the law of the empire, but what does this have to do with your plan?" asked the second worshiper.
Tapping his fingers on the armrest of the throne made of pure gold, Austin smiled and said: "The relationship is very big. This means that Zhang Yunfeng must leave Combeda within a month to complete the fiefdom."
"What, do you want to leak the news and let the nobles in Combeda who secretly obey the orders of the Holy See of Light take action against him? After those people succeed, you will come forward to settle everything and put all the blame on the Holy See of Light. That's right
Is that so?" the second priest guessed.
"You guessed wrong this time." Austin shook his head. He had thought about the guess made by the second priest before. Although this would not only blame Zhang Yunfeng's death on the Holy See of Light, but also take this opportunity
, taking the opportunity to conduct a thorough clean-up of the nobles and nobles in Combeda, and clearing out all the enemies hidden in the empire, which can be said to be an achievement in one fell swoop.
However, there was one biggest flaw in doing so. Even he could not prove that the person who killed Zhang Yunfeng was a member of the Holy See of Light.
After all, there are many nobles in Combeda who secretly support the Holy See of Light, but who can prove that they are related to the Holy See of Light? If this cannot be solved, the Holy See of Light can always find a scapegoat to resist all this, and even
If you can defeat the enemy and kick the matter back to the empire, then it will only be more gain than loss.
"Then what else do you have planned?" Erzong really couldn't imagine what Austin's next plan would be. Although in terms of cultivation, a hundred Austins bundled together would not be his opponent. But in terms of scheming
, In terms of calculation, Austin, the king, is definitely better than him, a warrior who has been in seclusion all year round.
Austin pointed to the map of the Rockwell Empire on the wall behind the throne: "The fiefdoms owned by the empire were roughly divided up seven hundred years ago. Most of the nobles who need fiefdoms later passed through
Taking back the hereditary fiefs of other down-and-out noble families alleviated the problem of fief shortage."
"But this time, the required fiefdom is too large. The area of the ducal fiefdom is no less than that of Combeda. For such a huge fiefdom, at least two marquises and five earls' fiefdoms must be taken back to make up the area.
Equivalent to the fiefdom of Combeda."
"Indeed, with the current situation of the empire, unless a group of marquis and count fiefs are recovered, it will be impossible to get fiefs of the same area together, and these fiefs must be connected together before they can be counted." Erzongfeng said.
"No..." Austin suddenly waved his hand, an enigmatic smile appeared on his face: "In the past, maybe we really had to do this to piece together such a large fiefdom, but now I
I thought of a better place. Not only is the area extremely large, it is several times larger than Combeda. The most important thing is that once it becomes Zhang Yunfeng's fiefdom, the Holy See of Light will attack him sooner or later..."
