Father Mavie

Chapter 108 The Imperial Candidate (Subscribe!!!)

The fourth prince Arthur didn't know about extraordinary power and the coming of gods, but he gradually discovered the strangeness after careful thinking and reasoning based on the existing clues.

Rats that die at the touch of a finger, the capital of the kingdom has changed drastically.
All the spearheads point to the already lonely church.

"Father, you should be clear that even if I don't come to you today, Bishop Fowler will tell me many things." Arthur said: "Going to the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses will make me invincible, but at the same time, It will also cut off my hope of revenge."

"so."

"I chose the Church of Truth."

This is simply a candid statement. In order to make Mavi believe in him, the fourth prince Arthur showed the highest sincerity. He not only revealed the existence of the Knights of the Round Table, but also expressed his ambition.

Such ambition, once known by the other three crown princes in the capital.
The outcome is predictable.

As for whether the fourth prince Arthur has taken refuge in the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, I am here to inquire about the information about the goddesses
Mavi thought about it before, and came up with a negative answer.

From a standpoint, this is a rare and cooperative ally.

A glass bottle was placed in front of Arthur.

"This is."

He picked up the bottle in doubt, pointed it at the gas chandelier on the ceiling, and saw clearly the monster with more than a dozen arms in the bottle.

Through the bottle, the monster roared silently at him. It was only the size of a finger belly, and the roar looked a little ridiculous.

"Witch Spirit Puppet."

Ma Wei said: "This is a follower of the Voodoo Kingdom's Witchcraft, a monster summoned by Gilbert Wilkin with magic."

"magic?"

"Yes, half a month ago, there was an earthquake, and the gods descended during that earthquake." Ma Wei explained in the shortest words: "They are gods of faith, and they rely on the power of faith provided by believers. The more believers there are, the more powerful the gods will be. Believers who receive the gift of the gods can use magic, and witch spirit puppets are one of the ancient magics of the witch god religion."

Lifting the bottle, Arthur saw the golden magic circle inlaid on the bottom of the bottle, his pupils shrank, and his face became solemn for a moment: "I've seen something similar, in the classics library of St. Paul's Cathedral in the royal capital."

"Is it a magic circle?"

"Well, the ancient books collected by the church have a long history, and many of them don't know the age. There is a mysterious area in which there are many parchment scrolls with finger bones hanging on them. Ancient characters are used throughout the text. Although I can't understand the content, at least I can see it. Understand the pictures above, that is, the magic circles."

Arthur frowned, pondered, and asked a crucial question: "Gods give believers gifts to use magic, that is to say, the only way to use gifts is with the help of magic circles, so the more magic you have Wouldn't the churches and gods in the array be more powerful?"

"The magic circle is only one aspect, the number of believers is also very important." Mavi nodded.

The fireplace crackled and the room suddenly fell silent.

"No wonder."

Arthur sighed, and put down the glass bottle in his hand: "If it's magic, it's really not something a revolver can deal with. Could the murderer who killed Eckert also use magic?"

"The curse of the plague that happened in Antowah Village and New Rose City is probably related to him."

"Is she the god of the Church of Truth?" Arthur asked, looking at Junia, who was huddled in Marvie's arms, staring at him curiously with wide eyes.

"She is my daughter."

"That's him?"

Arthur looked cheaply at Levin, who was leaning against the door frame and drinking the best brandy from the Cognac region: "No, it's not him. He's the head of the Sunshine Circus, and he just came to New Rose recently."

"Don't guess, gods are not so easy to see."

Mavi concealed Junia's true identity. In Arthur's eyes, Junia could not be a goddess for a simple reason.
If the little girl hiding in Ma Wei's arms is the goddess of the Church of Truth, then how could Ma Wei have the idea of ​​abandoning her?
From his own point of view, the fourth prince Arthur would never do this.

"Magic and gods."

Looking up at the ceiling with the red wallpaper, Arthur said thoughtfully: "The Church of the Three Goddesses has millions of believers, and their gods must be extremely powerful. The Church of Truth... I'm afraid they are not their opponents. "

"Do you regret it?"

Biting a mint leaf, feeling the bitter and cool breath through the nasal cavity, Ma Wei said in a calm voice: "It's too late to regret, you can report our matter to the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses right now. From then on, there must be a place for you in the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses."

Arthur laughed, and the laughter grew louder and wilder.

"Father, do you know what chivalry is?" He said, "Avalon is the holy land of knights. The Knights of the Round Table and I swear to it. One of the oaths is never to betray. You are insulting me."

"Further."

"The three red-clothed archbishops of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny have supported my three crown prince brothers respectively, and they have taken refuge in them. How can I take revenge?"

"But you have to understand, Your Highness Fourth Prince, you are not the only smart person in the world. There are also many talented people in the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses. Revenge is not so easy."

"Of course I know this, that's why I formed the Knights of the Round Table. They are nobles who live in this land and are far away from the center of power. The kingdom fears them and will not allow them to share their power." Arthur said slowly: " These people support me, and I will give them back."

"And you, dear priest, what can you support me with?"

"Strength, has the power to fight against the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate. Without it, you will never be able to step into the capital."

"But the Church of Truth is too small. How can you fight against the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, which has millions of believers? You don't even have a magic circle."

This is a very real problem.

When talking about ideals and ambitions, anyone can say two, three, four, five, six.

How to practice, how to climb up, this is what Arthur cares about.

After learning about the extraordinary power, the fourth prince Arthur felt a little desperate, because this power, which was so powerful that he could not reach it, could destroy all his hopes in an instant, and wipe out his hard work over the past few years in an instant.

Like the arrow that hit his mother's body.

Absolute power represents the absolute right to speak!
"A few days ago, the Parliament passed the "New Religious Law", and the Religious Affairs Bureau will be established soon, but the people living in the land under our feet don't have much affection for the Kingdom of Windsor."

After organizing the language, Ma Wei said: "This is also one of the reasons why you were able to form the Knights of the Round Table and get help from the nobles, Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Taking New Rose City as an example, the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses does not have an absolute advantage. Below it, there are the Sect of Wisdom and the Sect of Fertility. The beliefs of the people are not uniform, and most of them are non-believers."

"If they can become believers, the Church of Truth will have a firm foothold on this land."

"For the time being." Arthur corrected: "At present, the kingdom is preparing for war. When the war starts, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate does not have much energy to govern the small churches in remote areas. They will use the policy of appeasement to appease you first. The New Religious Law and Bishop Fowler's purpose in New Rose. Once the war is over, it's time for them to raise their knives."

"The war won't end in a short time." Ma Wei shook his head.

"The Kingdom of Romanov has no Church, so it cannot be a match for the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor who possess magic, unless."

With his eyes narrowed, Arthur said in surprise, "Don't tell me you want to go to the Kingdom of Romanov, help them, and fight against the Kingdom of Windsor?"

"This is the only way left for the Church of Truth to develop and grow." Ma Wei admitted frankly: "But in that case, the Church of Truth will immediately become the sworn enemy of the Kingdom of Windsor, and the believers who stay in New Rose City need a trustworthy Umbrella, tide over the difficulties."

"It turns out that you never focused your development on the land of the Kingdom of Windsor from the very beginning."

"No, it's because the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is too powerful, and we, who are weak, cannot compete with it. We can only take the edge of the sword and find another way."

Nodding slowly, Arthur couldn't help laughing: "According to your plan, I should be the one who protects believers."

"That's right, in order to prevent the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny from becoming suspicious, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you have to join them to keep an eye on the small church on the surface and protect the believers of the Church of Truth secretly." Ma Wei said: "This is a very difficult task. If you are not careful, you will end up dead without a place to bury you. Looking at this land, you are the only one who can do this."

"Death has no place to die. What a shocking statement."

With a sigh of relief, Arthur said with emotion: "People who are afraid of death can't achieve great things. How do you plan to contact the Romanov royal family and get their support?"

"I have a friend who can entrust his life. He is an Eastern Slav. He has returned to the Romanov Kingdom with the Book of Truth and a large amount of money. The war is fought with financial resources. With a large amount of money, he will be able to successfully cause Royal attention."

"When you succeed? Do you want to go back to the Kingdom of Windsor?"

"I must come back."

Ma Wei turned his head and looked east through the wall: "There are many friends who are waiting for my return. You are right, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you are not the only one who wants to avenge the royal family."

"who are they?"

"The soldiers who were not well-known before have now become the mainstay of the army. There are not many, only a hundred or so."

Marvie stood up, put on his bowler hat, and said with a blank expression:
"This is a revolution, Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

"and you"

"It's our appointed candidate!"
