The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

The acting dean of the Church of the True King, Vidio, who also came from the family of the Duke of Firner with Spacey, was talking with his deputy Jax, whom he had known since childhood, at the banquet venue.

The reason why a grand banquet will be held in the Church of the True King this day...is for no reason.

For these old aristocrats with a long history, a mere banquet does not need a name at all, it is just a kind of social interaction, a part of life.

Even, in the past few days, there is still a slight sense of uneasiness in the True King Church.

However, even if it is to dispel anxiety, the banquet must be held as usual.

"Video, the territory has been completely blocked for almost two days, and all the protesters we sent out have been driven back! What is the royal family planning to do!"

As the dean of the True King Church, even if he is an agent, he needs to be addressed with a title of honor.

But having been friends with Vidio for years, and with a lot of foreboding turning into impatience, Jax just called him by name.

"Don't worry, we haven't done anything against the rules recently. And even if some people have dirty hands and feet secretly, the royal family will at most just invite some people to talk about it, and will not do anything out of the ordinary."

Vidio looked at Jax as calmly as water, and said calmly.

And suddenly, a sudden change broke the peaceful atmosphere of the banquet venue.

...

"Ah ah----"

A shrill scream from a woman kicked off this crazy night.

Volume III: Chapter 290 IV, "Act Three"

Accompanied by sharp screams, the banquet venue quickly fell into chaos.

I saw that in the center of the venue, there were a few people who had lifted their clothes, and the magic circle was deeply imprinted on their bodies.And the magic circle that consumes their lives continuously emits magic elements.

Among them, the most powerful one was the flame type magic, which instantly turned the banquet into a sea of ​​flames.

"This is!"

Jax stared at the scene in disbelief.

Young and inexperienced, he was simply pushed to a high position by Vidio as the acting officiant, and his ability is obviously not enough to deal with such unexpected situations that no one can imagine.

If the person who attacked everyone in the banquet hall indiscriminately in a way that was similar to self-destruct was a waiter hired temporarily, it was still within the scope of Jax's imagination.

But it is obviously not possible for a few waiters to make the banquet hall without any order for a while.

On weekdays, the nobles who can talk a few words with Jax, and can even be said to be good friends, are also acting crazy at this time.What's more, two nobles with considerable status in the True King Church even brought a few family members with them, causing frenzy wantonly.

Is this a nightmare?

Looking at the banquet that was originally full of romance, it turned into a purgatory-like scene in an instant.

The aristocratic young master who has grown up smoothly until now, only feels dizzy, his eyes are blank, and his body is completely unable to move.

What pulled Jax slightly back to reality was the deafening sound of the shelling of the magic cannon that made the ground tremble outside.

At this moment, even though Jax still couldn't calm down the panic, he vaguely understood that this was an attack from the royal family.Even, it is a real war that tramples on all existing orders and rules!

Between the six gods and the master, Jax suddenly saw a figure that made his heart calm down a little in his narrowed angle of view.

video.

Vidio, who was acting as the officiant, was lowering his body at this time, and stepped into the emergency passageway that was half open.

Jax just followed blindly. No matter what his friend was doing, the other party was undoubtedly his backbone.

...

...

"Video, what are you doing! As an officiant, even as a proxy, you should organize everyone in the church to fight back against the hateful executioners! Instead of running away as soon as you encounter danger!"

In the emergency passage, Jax shouted at Vidio excitedly.

And Vidio turned his gaze slightly to the side and glanced at the other party, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to Jax.

It's not that Vidio didn't try to organize a defensive array to resist this sudden attack.

However, most of the people he can't command.

The pampered nobles were either completely useless by the sudden flames of war and bloodshed, or screamed and asked their families and attendants to protect them.

Therefore, listening to the countless voices constantly emerging from the banquet venue.He found himself the titular supreme commander only after being ignored.

Vidio, who felt that the royal army was about to rush in, just ordered those who were willing to obey his command to guard the entrance of the emergency passage at all costs, and he retreated strategically.

Of course, his mind went blank, Jax stood like a target in the banquet hall, but fortunately he was intact, and he didn't see Vidio's actions at all.

"Damn it, the royal family... Charlie... how dare they! Why, since we are all going to revive May Blaine, shouldn't we be on the same front!"

As if he didn't notice that Vidio didn't respond at all, Jax continued to growl hysterically.

The reason why he is so pompous is because he is suppressing a feeling.

That feeling of wanting to vomit unceasingly after seeing someone being burned alive into black charcoal, and the blood flow of someone being cut like a fountain.

Jax's roar was also the voice of most people in the True King Church towards the royal family.

The True King Church can be regarded as the center of the different Fuguo factions in the entire Xinmei Kingdom.Although the composition of the church is chaotic and there are many factions, the common goal is the revival of the Mebraen Kingdom.

And just in case, if the Mebrian Kingdom is really rebuilt, this kingdom also needs a king and a royal family.

The current Astor royal family supported by the old prime minister is naturally not welcomed by the old nobles at all, and they call it a "false" royal family both openly and secretly.

Therefore, only the lineage of Prince Charles, the old capital, will be able to become the royal family of Maybrain after the restoration of the country.

As for the so-called restoration of the country, the current stage of the horoscope has not yet been written, and naturally it has not reached the stage of dividing up the fruits of victory and competing for power and interests.Therefore, the True King Church and Prince Charles have always been natural allies and have maintained an extremely good relationship.

Even though, Prince Charles has made some outrageous actions that made the Church of the True King extremely angry.This ally has never been broken.

After all, the True King Church has no choice, at most it can only do something from Prince Charles' heir.

Therefore, surrounded and blocked by the royal family, even though the members of the True King Church sensed the wrong direction, they did not take any drastic actions.

"Vidio, you're right!"

Jax, who had just scolded everything before, suddenly said,

"We need to have our own gods and unique beliefs! With these... our strength will not be underestimated, and our stronghold will not be easily breached like today!"

Jax gritted his teeth.

Compared with organizations such as the Adventure Guild, the Church of Light, and the Church of All Things, the True King Church's defense in the field is very weak.Even, it can't keep up with the family territories of big nobles such as Campret.

But this is something that can't be helped, because the personnel of the True King Church are too mottled to find any commonality of belief.

Therefore, after being denied by the Church of Light, they have never been able to come up with a domain-type holy object that only benefits all their members and keeps the attacking enemies tied.

Vidio's expression on the side didn't change, but a contemptuous look flashed across his eyes for a moment, which meant that he didn't agree with Jax's words at all.

The fact that the True King Church will be attacked today is not a question of whether there is a domain or not.Moreover, he does not think that the True King Church will "fall" easily.

Even if their sneak attack did cause chaos, the shelling from the outside was also very lethal.

Because, the royal family and the Mystic Society of Sages obviously came with the purpose of annihilation.

But in the face of a fatal situation, those old nobles would naturally use whatever method they could.

The heritage of the old nobles should not be underestimated.

Even due to their respective battles, the result of the battle must be the victory of the royal family.But the royal family also needs to pay a heavy price for a large number of casualties.

In other words, no matter at what level, this war launched by the royal family against the True King Church should not have happened.

"It seems that the woman is really crazy..."

Vidio couldn't help but sigh softly.

And Jax, who was still muttering and berating the royal family for being "despicable", obviously didn't hear Vidio's exclamation.

At this moment, Vidio was quite bored with Jax.

In the mind of this noble young master, even if there is a war between the True King Church and the royal family, it should not be in this way.

First of all, the two armies must confront each other in an upright manner.

Second, the Lord will shout words to each other, expressing His thoughts and revenge.

Then, there was a one-on-one duel between the chief knights of the two sides.Moreover, the Cavaliers on the winner's side launched a surprise attack, and the loser put on a defensive posture.

In the end, the lowest-ranking entourage either followed the path opened by the knights to fight the enemy heroically, or protected their own knights to retreat.

It doesn't matter if they are captured on the battlefield, they will still be treated like VIPs until the family sends a ransom...

To this day, Jax still doesn't understand anything.

And Vidio felt incredible.

People like Jax gathered together, actually fantasizing that one day they could revive the Mebraen Kingdom.

With emotion, the two people, who were walking quickly, had already reached the deepest part of the emergency passage.

Only then did Jax suddenly realize something was wrong.

Before, he just followed Vidio mindlessly, so he didn't realize that this emergency passage was once abandoned...that is, it can't connect to the outside, it's just a dead-end passage.

Watching Vidio open the deepest door, Jax stopped blindly following along, but stopped on the outside.

Maybe it's because after staying away from the battlefield for a while and wantonly pouring out his emotions, his mind became much clearer.Recalling all these days, a terrible idea suddenly appeared in Jax's mind.

"Video...Speaking of which, why didn't you feel the slightest anger...remorse? You didn't panic...just as if you had expected what happened today, and you came directly to this kind of situation that you would never use normally. to the place..."

Jax asked tremblingly.

And a moment later, Vidio's voice slowly came from the half-covered deep door.

"Predicted? Not exactly like that. A gentleman, as if prophesying, mentioned to me this event that may happen in the past few days. Although the identity and words of that gentleman are very convincing Power, but it’s too absurd, so I only believed half of it. And I once tried to remind people in the church, but apparently they didn’t even believe half of it..."

"you have not!"

Jax suddenly growled in a shrill voice,

"If you were only suspicious before, after seeing the royal family surrounded the territory, you should be completely sure! But, you haven't said anything these days!"

"..."

Faced with Vidio's silence, Jax took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.

He remembered how Vidio joined the Church of the True King.

"So...you, you are going to do the same thing again! You have to use the power of others to burn to death all those who will hinder you!"

As if he had suddenly figured everything out, Jax, who was completely enlightened, then roared,

"Some time ago, you deliberately sent people to the 'port city'... not just those! The garrison force you could transfer away in those days, they...they are all your people! Only your people can survive, the others people... other people!"

"You're wrong, Jax. I didn't make it so obvious. Because, if it's too obvious, there are always smart people who will see something wrong. Besides, as you said, I have a 'record' 'exist."

Inside the half-covered door, Vidio's voice was very calm,

"Besides, there is no need for me to do that. Because no matter whether the people I send out recognized me as the priest before or not. After today, they will also recognize it. What's more, it doesn't matter if they don't recognize it. Because as long as Grasping the 'big trend', even if there is only one person left as the officiant, there will be people who will quickly gather around me and work hard for me."

Vidio paused for a moment,

"I transferred some people, mainly because I was afraid that some people would miss and failed to destroy the obstacles in front of me, but left some...But judging from the current situation, I obviously worried a little bit more."

"you you..."

After his inner thoughts were confirmed, Jax only felt a little hard to breathe, and even the voice coming from behind the door no longer sounded like the voice of a close friend, but the whisper of a demon.

Jax felt a danger, a danger more terrifying than that in the battle-torn banquet hall.

But before he could respond, the sudden attack from behind the door completely pierced through his abdomen.

Jax, who lost his strength and gradually fell to his knees on the ground, saw that the one attacking him was the mass-produced black and white witch that the Campret family had traded to the Church of the True King.

What Vidio hid at the end of the emergency passage was this artificial witch.

Jax didn't know what Vidio wanted to do by hiding the artificial witch, and he had no time to think about it, because his life was going away with his consciousness.

"Sorry, Jax. As I said before, I have a 'convict record'. So, in order not to arouse suspicion, I still need some conclusive proof that I am the pure cause of this sad tragedy. Victim. And these proofs naturally include you as my 'best friend'."

"........."

"Actually, I have never had the slightest affection for you. But you are indeed my true and only 'best friend'. After all, you will bring me what I want."

In the emergency passage gradually swallowed by heat.
