I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 146, Conspiracy

"No way, are we really going to take this pink-haired princess to Berenberg?"

After receiving the task from the cathedral, Whitney pulled Sid under great pressure and whispered: "Are you really so confident in your charm?"

Before Sid could answer, she heard the scream of the stag pearl. She approached quickly, inserted between the two in a hurry, and said angrily: "Don't whisper behind my back! You two!"

"Your Highness, are you really planning to go to Berenberg with us?" Sid had to stop.

"Of course, I'll guarantee this for you." The eldest lady put her hands behind her back with a smile on her face, walked to Sid's side and looked at him, her sweet almond eyes were full of interest: "As a guarantee Man, may I not go with you?"

Sid pondered for a few seconds, staring at the charming and sweet face of Stag Pearl, and said seriously: "Actually, you don't need to be like this."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" The eldest lady blinked her eyes, pretending not to understand.

"Your Highness, you just want to know why the pendant of Her Royal Highness is on me, right?" Sid held the Nirvana Angel on his chest, and platinum flames overflowed from between his fingers: "Actually, you don't have to Do those things before, if you want to know, I will tell you."

"Hey, I've been discovered!" Princess Stag still maintained a bright smile. She first nodded in recognition of Sid's deduction, but immediately shook her head to express that Sid was wrong: "But I don't want to think about it now."

"why?"

"I am Celis's best and only friend. I know Celis well. If she doesn't give it to you, you can't take it away." The eldest lady said excitedly with little stars in her eyes: "So I want to know, what kind of person are you who can get this thing from Celis?"

"Mr. Sid, you are handsome, powerful and humble at a young age, with super high swordsmanship, capable of single-handedly killing a wyvern, and you are also very smart, but if it is only these things, it is impossible for you to be favored by Celis , because there are not many such people in the Holy Empire." Charlotte Heiselink teased Sid with a malicious smile: "Although I have already written to Celis, I always feel that you Like a big liar!"

"What big liar?" Sid laughed too.

The smile of this stag pearl is so contagious. When staying with her, Sid will subconsciously relax and smile involuntarily.

The perception of the imperial twin sisters is really different. When she is with Celeste, Sid always feels pressure, but when this young lady stands beside him and talks to him, Sid feels Very relaxing and comfortable.

"I don't know why, but I always have a strange feeling. You didn't cheat Celis for money and sex, and finally dumped her?" Charlotte approached with a smile.

"..." Sid involuntarily looked away.

"So I want to go with you, and I want to check for Celis to see if you are reliable, and what attracted you to Celis?" Seeing Sid's unnatural expression, Charlotte Te immediately went a step further: "Also, I think I can help you guys!"

"No! Absolutely not!" The old butler who was following Charlotte finally couldn't help it. His forehead was bulging, and he said furiously with all his strength: "How can the honorable young lady talk to you guys?" An unknown guy leaving the Fiorentina? Not allowed! I, Alfred, will never allow it!"

"Then I'm counting on you Alf, you go and tell your parents about this matter, I will be back soon, at most a week." Charlotte blinked her big watery eyes, and she stretched out a finger .

The magic surged.

The arcane smoothness flashed first, and the gorgeous long pink hair glowed with her movements. She just manipulated her fingers to move in the air, and strands of silver threads appeared from the void. Her fingertips slid across the silver thread, and arcane sparks splashed out from her fingertips along with her movements. In the blink of an eye, an advanced spell was ready.

"Go, Alf." The eldest lady pointed her finger, and the arcane vortex covered the old butler's body from behind.

"Miss, ah, ah!" The grizzled old butler disappeared into the street amidst screams.

"Okay, I sent Alf back to Frederick's Palace, let's go." The eldest lady clapped her hands.

Her action has already fooled everyone on the street, including the well-informed Sid and even Whitney, the son of the Silver Hand family of the light elves.

No need to memorize spells, no need to prepare props, no need to recite spells, no need for a staff, just draw a few pictures with her fingers in the air, and she precisely released a one-way teleportation spell to transport the old housekeeper Teleported back to the palace, and seeing this posture is not the first time?

Have you seen this battle?Sid looked at Whitney.

I have never seen this battle!Huini was also dumbfounded. He had been in the Silver Hand family for so many years, and this was the first time he saw someone who could cast spells like this.

His father, the silver-handed patriarch Ai Ruining, can cast one-way teleportation instantly, but that is the result of fast casting + silent spell + staff fixed casting. This is the first time Whitney has seen him being able to cast spells like this.

Is this the fortune warlock?

No wonder this eldest lady is recognized as the most talented spellcaster in the entire empire and even the world, and the next peerless genius who is very likely to hit the extreme realm.

"I'll go with you too." Sablin, the stag knight, wanted to go too: "I'm sorry that I didn't help you much this time. I just happen to be fine recently. How about adding me? I don't want to pay you either."

"Alright, we just want to get to know Archbishop Peder through you." Sid did not refuse, and it is always a great benefit for the entrustment to have local people to help.

"Let's find a place to sit down and have a drink and discuss what we should do."

"I invite, please!" The eldest lady was still so excited.

adventure!explore!Mysterious haunted house!It was so exciting.

The eldest lady blushed with excitement, clenched her fists, and always looked at Sid with expectant eyes.

She didn't seem to have considered that Sid would act against her. For her, since she could gain the trust of her best friend Celestia, then she could trust him unconditionally.

The two of them have always had the same fate, and they once agreed to be good sisters for a lifetime.

Let me examine him carefully.

I'll help you vent your anger and check for you, Celis~
……… I am the dividing line for you to vent your anger………

Florence, St. Sebastian Cathedral, Archbishop's Sanctum.

Archbishop Peder-Pedersen-Winstrup stood in front of the statue of Jupiter, the lord of heaven, and waited quietly. He sighed a long time, and prayed to the god with an expression of boredom, anticipation, and fear. .

"My lord... I don't have the courage to fight anymore. What I saw in the void will be a nightmare that I will never forget in my life."

There was a knock on the door: "Your Excellency the Archbishop?"

"I'm here." Archbishop Ped turned around, his expression tired and bored: "Any news?"

"Yes, the falcon descendant Sid and the light elf Silverhand you entrusted have no intention of asking us for help. They form a team by themselves and seem to plan to go directly to Berenberg to investigate the haunted house." The temple guard said: "His Royal Highness seems I plan to follow along."

"Oh, it seems that the upstart of the empire is very confident, and thinks he can solve the problem by himself?" Archbishop Peder narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's good, it's just a good time to test it. How will His Majesty treat him? How important it is."

The temple guard hesitated, but still asked: "Your Excellency, our Church of Heaven clearly has so many resources, and Judge Hailar is also active nearby to search for the whereabouts of the Chosen One. Why did you leave this matter to that man named Sid?" What about the young man? And with such a high reward, if something happens to Her Royal Highness, how will we deal with the Hart family's questioning?"

"I need you to question my decision? Presumptuous!" The archbishop's face changed suddenly, he shouted angrily, grabbed the water glass on the table and splashed the temple guard all over his face.

The Temple Guard knelt down and admitted his mistake.

"Hmph~ Her Royal Highness is a little willful, do we need to take responsibility for it? She is going by herself, what does it matter to me?" Archbishop Ped said impatiently: "Where is that dwarf? What is he doing in there? "

"He lives very well in it. He can eat fresh food every day and has a lot of free time. We sent a few books before, and he has read them all."

"Yes, try to meet his not-too-excessive requirements, and raise the food a little bit. Give him whatever your temple guards eat." Archbishop Ped said in a deep voice: "That dwarf will be very useful, As long as it's in our hands, we don't have to worry about the Falcon bloodline and the silver hand of the light elves continuing to work for us."

"Yes."

At the same time, in the Friedrich Palace in Fiorentzee, the old butler was also complaining in front of Grand Duke Duncan Stagg Heiselink and Grand Duchess Hedwig Charlotte Heiselink The waywardness of the princess, and the shamelessness of that little boy.

Surprisingly, Grand Duke Duncan didn't have any intention to stop him. He sighed a long time and said, "Just do as she likes, anyway... hey, in short, during this time, she can do whatever she wants what?"

"Yeah, the reason why we hold this celebration is not..." The Grand Duchess Hedwig didn't see any look of doting, she shook her head sadly: "Alf, you don't have to ask about this matter anymore, Charlotte Her strength is very strong, and she is in the territory of our stag, so don't worry."

"but……"

"This is an order." Grand Duke Duncan said directly.

The old housekeeper also sighed, said "Miss, Miss", and slowly backed away.

Only the Grand Duke and his wife were left in the room. They looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.

"Duncan, is there really no other way?" Hedwig was still unwilling: "Or, shall we invite Cecilia again?"

"It's useless, it's up to now." Grand Duke Duncan leaned back in the chair: "So before she becomes an adult, Xia Lu can do whatever she likes."

"Then, what about the Marriage Request from the Bulls? This is the third time, Otto Hazelham has always wanted to ask to marry Charlotte..."

"Wait for him to come, wait for others to arrive, let's investigate him, if there is no problem, then we will settle it." Grand Duke Duncan nodded in shame: "Don't say Xia Lu, this should be the last thing she can do for us One more thing."

"Hey……"

Only the sound of loss remained in the room.

………… I am the fixed dividing line………

In the roadside cafe, in the warm glazed windows and on the heavy oak table, Sid and Whitney were listening to Sablin's evaluation of Archbishop Peder and the young lady's evaluation.

"I don't like my distant relative very much. Since he came here, things in the church have been getting worse and worse. He doesn't care about many things, but he doesn't really care. He just... he always... ..." Sablin said in confusion, as a decent knight, he was very reluctant to speak ill of others behind his back, but he still couldn't understand the archbishop's affairs.

"Half of it, right? He will take care of things with money, ruthlessly, take the initiative to take care of them, and resolutely ignore things without money?" Sid concluded for Sablin.

The stag knight immediately responded with affirmative eyes.

"The fees charged for church activities should not be used as a tool to make money. Tithes are originally used to help the poor lower their living costs." Even in this fairytale country, Sablin is still very dissatisfied with Archbishop Peder.

"Isn't this normal?" Whitney said boredly: "This is obviously common sense. I know that the dioceses of the Holy Empire are theoretically equal, but in reality they are very different. The position of Archbishop Stag can be called the most important. The first-class fat job, as long as you perform your duties as usual, you can earn a lot of oil and water and guarantee a good reputation, this place is too rich."

"On the contrary, no one is willing to take the position of Archbishop of the Bad Wolf Principality, and no one is willing to lower his strength to a legend. How much can a poor place earn even if it is extorted to the limit?"

The eldest lady also spoke: "Speaking of which, my father and mother once said that Grandpa Peder has never made a move since he accepted Jupiter's grace and was promoted to destiny. The combat priest is extremely talented, but he didn't know what he encountered after entering the virtual world to seek greater challenges, and finally became like this, and he never made a move again."

"However, Grandpa Ped is a very kind person. He is greedy for money, and he will not do bad things." The eldest lady promised excitedly: "Don't worry, if he doesn't keep his promise, I will tell my parents!"

"Very good." Sid summed up the current news: "Then we can tentatively draw the following conclusions based on the current situation."

"One, no matter what Archbishop Peder encountered in the Void Realm, he has the strength of the Destiny level. Well, the Destiny level of the gods' empowerment is very weak, but no matter how you say it, there is still legendary strength, and he can mobilize it. The power of the entire church pays a high price for us to deal with the problem."

"Second, from Sablin's description to His Highness the Princess, we can see that Archbishop Peder is obviously a greedy person, but he offered us a price of 4000 gold crowns, which is actually quite high. Besides, Fogg Still in his hand."

"Three, what he wants us to investigate is a haunted house, but the target given is very vague. He also said that we must investigate and eliminate the hostile creatures. He also said that we should report to him if there is any news, and he emphasized that we cannot deceive him."

"In summary, what did you think of?" Sid said in a deep voice.

"He's using us as knives." Whitney stepped on the chair with one leg up, out of shape: "This old thing is just a post! I practiced the turtle egg shrinkage technique myself, and I want us to do things for him .”

"That's right." Sid nodded, and he narrowed his eyes: "Archbishop Ped is using us as a knife."

"My guess is that the things in the haunted house are not pure evil, but have personal grievances with the Archbishop!"

"And this is very likely our opportunity." Sid immediately turned his head to the eldest lady who listened to his analysis with relish: "Your Highness, can I buy a mansion in the Stag Principality?"

"Of course!" The eldest lady said without thinking: "Do you want to settle here?"

"Who knows?" Sid smiled.

It is false to settle down, but it is true to take this opportunity to organize a small group, establish your own power, and have a stable meeting place.

If you want to change the world, you must first change yourself.

Isn't this cursed manor a good place?

No matter how terrible the curse is, can it be as terrible as the God of the Ring?
Sid didn't believe it.
