Chapter 855 (1/2)

After ending the battle of bishop Byrne, Loren deliberately delayed for more than ten days in Charlotte's scolding voice before officially receiving the envoy representing the Holy Cross Church and the heavenly palace, Deacon hilwick.

The messenger and confidant of the Archbishop of innoson was a man who could drill camp very well; Although he is only a deacon and at most a priest's deputy in the church clergy, he is very good at making money by his position. There are two coffers under the name of yode chamber of Commerce alone, with a savings of no less than 3 million gold coins, and he also holds the bonds of more than a dozen chambers of Commerce, large and small.

According to little Yoder, Loren's ”treasurer” and head of the intelligence network and President of the United Chamber of Commerce, if it weren't for the priest's robe worth 600000 gold coins and the cross worth 400000 gold coins, he thought it was a colleague.

On the one hand, it is to buy time for the little priest - now bishop Byrne - Weber. It is easier to take over the Byrne church with the trusted deacon next to the archbishop.

In a sense, it can also create an illusion for the Holy Cross Church that the young priest is very simple and easy to control.

Being ignored by his enemies bodes well for an ”idealist”.

On the other hand, it is to wait for the horn castle at the peak of the ”expedition” cloud to return.

On an open ground outside the city of red blood castle, he looked up at the floating city slowly approaching from the sky like a dark cloud. Deacon hilvik looked pale, his eyes were almost distracted and his breath was short.

The oppressive feeling of covering the clouds and blocking the sun made the clergy who despised wizards for most of his life feel the shock like the collapse of the world!

One side of Loren stood silently behind him, contentedly appreciating each other's expression at the moment.

It doesn't matter when the horn Castle returns, but it's important for him to let the messengers of the heavenly palace and the church see this scene.

Although Charlotte won the negotiation table, she relied on the distrust between Arles and the church and the information provided by the demon hunter.

Although such ”flexible means” can win the greatest interests, it is also easy to cause the contempt of the other party. He believes that Byrne can only sow discord and does not have enough strength, so he does not dare to face up with the heavenly palace and the church.

What Lauren has to do is to dispel the ”wrong view” of the other party, expose her fangs and let the other party see clearly that she is a carnivore, not a grass eater.

”It's unbelievable, it's really...” the stunned deacon hilwick took half a minute to recover from the shock, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat:

”It's really a miracle. It's a miracle that only the Holy Cross can descend!”

”Deacon hilwick, you're flattered.” the dark haired wizard smiled back at the other side with a look of disapproval: ”this is just an experiment, and it's still a long way from being officially put into use.”

”Of course, thanks to the blessing of the Holy Cross, Bain's wizards have mastered the key technology of the floating city, and can completely turn her into a real floating fortress in a few years at most. By then...”

”Er... We'd better wait until the future.” deacon hilwick, who wiped away the cold sweat, quickly turned the conversation: ”now we should pay more attention to the present.”

”Of course, you're right.” Lauren took over the topic happily. ”We should all focus on the present. After all, who is right about the future?”

Deacon hilwick was slightly stunned.

”Duke Loren, what you said...” after a moment of surprise, the expression of the messenger of the church and the sky palace was obviously a little bad:

”With all due respect, does that mean something?”

”Oh, yes?” Lauren raised his eyebrows and looked at him strangely: ”weren't we talking about the floating city just now? So look forward to the future a little... I don't quite understand. What's easy to cause misunderstanding in this sentence?”

Yes, there is no misunderstanding in this sentence - provided that you, the Duke of Byrne, do not stand in the camp of his highness Brandon de sallion, and the church does not support today's crown prince, Prince Conrad de sallion!

Deacon hilwick's expression was extremely difficult to see.

At this moment, the joy of victory brought by Byrne's concession in the Bishops' dispute was completely washed away... Loren Turin, who can force the church to compromise in the pre imperial trial, is still a difficult enemy.

At least for now.

”Nothing... It's just that I haven't seen you for three years. I feel a little sad to see you again - the wizard who visited the imperial capital at the beginning is now the Duke with real power in Byrne's hands, which inevitably makes people feel that time flies.”

The next second, Deacon hilwick tactfully shifted the topic: ”to tell you the truth, when you came, your majesty Eckhart II told me to send you his greetings.”

Eckhart II

Loren recognized the meaning of each other's words.

In other words, although the other party is a member of the church, it actually represents the heavenly palace, or the Emperor himself?

”I really don't know that I can be worthy of your Majesty's greetings?” Lauren showed a somewhat ”humble” look, quite flattered:

”I thought the troubles caused by the heavenly palace in the past three years had made your majesty want to rack his brains and depose me, the incompetent Duke of Byrne.”

So you know how much trouble you have caused to Tianqiong palace!

”Where, Duke, are you worried too much... How could your majesty depose his brachial minister so easily?” with a polite and implicit smile, Deacon hilwick waved his hand:

”What's more, the current empire is in a troubled time, and there is no peace in all places. It's time for a young and promising noble like you to show their skills - for the safety of the Empire, even if there are many differences, we must unite closely in order to make this country ride out all difficulties and obstacles safely.”

”Like... Right now.”

Right now?

The dark haired wizard's expression moved slightly - hilwick, he had something to say.

”Duke Loren, what do you know about the Yasur elf kingdom ruled by the eagle king in the west of the misty sea?”

Deacon hilwick stared at Loren's expression and said slowly, word by word.
