"I think you're curious as to why I summoned you here so secretly, even at the cost of using a magical teleportation box that hasn't been used for two thousand years?" asked Rey III. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is indeed what the minister is puzzled about. Count Raphael replied respectfully.

"I recently got secret information about the O'Bright family. The Soul Blade, the weapon of your ancestor Franco O'Brid, has suddenly appeared in the small town of Frosacken in the north of the Empire, and I would like to hear your explanation. Rey III asked, looking at Count Raphael with playful eyes.

"The Soul Blade is indeed the personal weapon of the family ancestor, but long after the death of the family ancestor, the soul blade is nowhere to be found. As for why it appeared in the far north of the empire, this is also where the minister is puzzled, and if His Majesty agrees, the minister is willing to go there immediately to investigate. Count Raphael replied calmly.

"Interesting, I thought you would say that your brother Stowe O'Bright brought the Soul Blade there. Rey III walked to the wine cabinet, took out a precious bottle of red wine, poured a glass into the crystal glass, and placed it on the table in front of Count Raphael, "Modern red wine, produced in 1796 in the continental calendar. I remember it was your favorite wine. ”

Upon hearing the words of Rey III, the cold sweat of Count Raphael immediately flowed, and the Red Wine of Modern produced in 1796 was extremely rare on the mainland, and even the well-established O'Brid family only had three bottles in stock. Five years ago, when the old Duke Brydon was 60 years old, he once opened a bottle.

Count Raphael clearly remembers that only his father and his brothers were present in the secret room, and some of the high-drinking Count Raphaels once praised it as his favorite wine after tasting the bottle of Madeir. Unfortunately, he never had the blessing to drink a glass of 1796 Madier again.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Rey III suddenly mentioned this topic, which made Count Raphael shudder, Rey III was able to know what he said in the well-guarded family secret room five years ago, so what secrets does the Obride family have in front of His Majesty the Emperor?

I'm afraid that the secret of the Soul Blade is already in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. Thinking of this, Count Raphael could no longer maintain his composure and immediately knelt down again.

Rey III nodded with satisfaction after seeing Count Raphael's performance, and continued: "It seems that you understand what I mean?"

Count Raphael nodded busily, and the feeling that Rey III gave him at the moment was only unfathomable and indescribable.

"Raphael, I'm anxious, you know?" Rey III poured himself a glass of Modern wine, took a sip and said, "You know how much effort we have made to suppress the Holy See, but now our efforts may come to naught, do you know why?"

"I don't know. Raphael replied with a bowed head. Perhaps only he, the person who personally arranged many actions against the Holy See, could truly understand the hardships spoken of by His Majesty the Emperor.

Although the Holy See is not as good as it used to be, the faith of the Lord of Light is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the Empire, and in order to completely defeat the Holy See, it is necessary to first destroy the faith of the Lord of Light, which was almost impossible before the Cataclysm.

Fortunately, Rey III seized the opportunity of the Holy See's Imperial Branch to lose the support of the Holy Mountain after the Cataclysm, and fortunately, Rey III reused the Imperial Double Count Raphael and Marshal Sebastian, and with the joint efforts of the three, the Holy See's influence in the Empire has been declining.

According to this trend, it will not be long before the Holy See will fall apart under the vigorous suppression of Rey III, and in order to achieve this, Rey III has also made great efforts and sacrifices.

"Although the Soul Blade has only been discovered today, the Holy See has already sent Cardinal Olufi to Frossaken a month ago, and the person who discovered the Soul Blade is even Olufi himself!" Rey III waved his arm angrily, and the precious Madel red wine was sprinkled on the equally precious velvet red carpet, "If your family's agreement is true, the Holy See has undoubtedly taken the lead in this matter. ”

"Oracle! It must be an oracle!" exclaimed Count Raphael, who couldn't remember how many times he had suffered a similar loss under the oracle of the Holy See.

"That's right, it must be an oracle. "Rey III confirmed Count Raphael's speculation. Even Rey III had to admit that even if the Holy See was now in decline, as long as the oracle with prophetic power could still be used normally, then the Holy See would always be able to take the lead in some key matters. This is also the most important reason why the Holy See has not been defeated for a long time.

"Now that you understand, the Holy See will react by tomorrow morning at the latest. We were already in the most disadvantageous position, and the huge distance in space caused us to temporarily lose control of the situation in the small town of Frossaken. Rey III said slowly, the dissatisfaction in it was very obvious.

"The minister will definitely rush there as soon as possible to stabilize the situation there. Count Raphael hurriedly took the initiative to say.

"Can I trust you?" said Rey III, who looked at Count Raphael with a refined gaze, clearly disappointed that the Stowee who were there could not be used, and that he could not accept another betrayal from the O'Brand.

"The minister promises to live up to His Majesty's trust. Count Raphael assured with an oath.

"But Olufi isn't an easy guy to deal with either. Rey III reminded.

Although they had never met, Count Raphael had heard of Bishop Oruffi. Although Archbishop Isha has four cardinals under his command, Archbishop Isha has always groomed Bishop Olufi as his successor.

Bishop Olufi also lived up to expectations, after emerging to the fore, his witty mind and superb political skills were unanimously recognized by both inside and outside the Holy See, and even the Council of Light, which was mixed with many "outsiders", was full of praise for Bishop Olufi, believing that if Archbishop Isha abdicated or unfortunately returned to the arms of the Lord of Light one day, Bishop Olufi would be the best candidate to succeed him.

Personally, Count Raphael did not want to be an enemy of Bishop Oruffi. After all, the ancestor of the O'Bright family, Franco O'Bright, was also a devout Holy Believer, and from he he made an unwritten rule that every legitimate successor of the O'Red family must be a Holy Believer, and Count Raphael was no exception.

The Holy See is strong, and its historical heritage is far above the empire, although it is temporarily declining due to various reasons, but once the communication and communication to the Western Kingdom are opened, the Holy See, which has regained the support of the Holy Mountain Headquarters, will definitely turn over and suppress the imperial power again.

It is inscrutable that Rey III is also extremely eager to open up communication and communication, isn't His Majesty the Emperor worried about this?

It is this contradictory mentality that makes Count Raphael, although he is constantly carrying out the emperor's will to suppress the Holy See, secretly has to open his net and does not want to completely offend the Holy See.

But now that Count Raphael has been cornered by His Majesty the Emperor, he must make his choice at once. It suddenly occurred to Count Raphael that perhaps this was His Majesty's true purpose.

"The minister swears allegiance to His Majesty. "Count Raphael made a quick decision, and the slightest hesitation at this time would lead to death.

"Then it's up to you to perform. Rey III nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, the minister has another request" Count Raphael raised his head with his heart crossed, since he had already made his choice, then for the good of the family......
