is the son of the Holy See, but the master of black magic

Chapter 22 Small Country and World Hegemon

There was a slight tingling in the arm.

Then an indescribable sense of comfort spread slowly and firmly throughout his body.

Andy, who was in a coma, regained a little sobriety.

Then, bursts of cancer pain transmitted from all over the body, which made him quickly wake up from the dazed state.

Opening his dry eyes, he was slightly taken aback by everything that appeared in his vision.

Above the head is a ceiling decorated with white logs and round lamps, full of exotic style.

Looking sideways, the light-colored lattice doors and windows, futons, bamboo hanging paintings, and long brown coffee tables are all beautifully arranged, all of which contain Zen.

Obviously, this is a bright, Japanese-style room.

But what surprised Andy was a young girl.

The girl was kneeling beside him, lowering her head and injecting a tube of medicine into his body. The long black hair swaying down due to inertia made him feel quite familiar.

"Woke up so fast?"

Seeing Andy opened his eyes, the other party was a little surprised, but she just nodded to Andy, got up and walked away, and knelt down on a futon not far away.

Really did not expect.

Seeing this, Andy blinked, a little surprised that the nun he met before turned out to be a mole.

But this girl is obviously a little guy, so don't worry too much about it.

So Andy turned his gaze to the two adults sitting on both sides of the coffee table not far away, watching him with a smile.

One of them is old and the other is middle-aged.

The old man was neatly dressed, his gray hair was combed meticulously, his eyebrows were narrow and long, his eyes were sharp, and he was dressed in a black samurai uniform. He was an authentic islander.

The middle-aged man looks slightly similar to the old warrior, and should be a mixed race from an island country and North Africa.

But he didn't mix well, with thin eyebrows and small eyes, thick mouth and rough teeth, and thick limbs, making him look very ugly.

However, this ugly face was winking at Andy at this time, and it looked familiar, but it was more friendly than the old warrior next to him.

"Denis Weaver, a manager of the York family, is responsible for taking care of some trivial matters that cannot be brought to the table."

Seeing that Andy had come to his senses, the old warrior said hoarsely, "It was he who appeared in the church and suppressed you."

"But he is not your real enemy, the York family behind him is."

Obviously, this guy didn't intend to chat nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

"The York family used to be the royal family of this country."

The ugly man then continued: "I'm used to being arrogant, not only you, but even us subjects have been bullied before."

"Subjects?" Andy sat up from the tatami and asked questions appropriately.

"That's right, it's the subjects."

The ugly man nodded and said, with a helpless look on his face.

"Although they have abdicated, the York royal family has existed for nearly a thousand years, and their control and influence over the country have never faded."

Andy nodded upon hearing this.

He has seen this before today.

It can only be said that it is invincible.

Even if the evil spirit is in his hand and can understand the command, he is not an opponent of this level of power at present.

"But the world is big."

Seeing that Andy seemed a little "depressed", the ugly man sitting there changed his subject.

"This country is one of the countries in North Africa, but North Africa is a part of Africa, and the entire African continent can be regarded as the poorest and backward piece of land in the world."

"In my opinion, the York royal family is a colossus, no one can fight against it, but looking at the whole world, this family is just a small player."

"Just like the mayor you met before, the royal family is also currying favor with others, pleasing others, several bloodlines within, and currently even fighting for a qualification to be a servant for others, regardless of the consequences."

"So," Andy raised his eyebrows, "I was suppressed because of this qualification?"

There are things he knows.

He really doesn't understand some things, so it's not like pretending to be stupid.

"Yes."

The ugly man nodded in confirmation, "But it needs to be made clear that it is a steward of the royal family who is suppressing you, not the royal family itself."

"The reason why the steward suppressed you was not that he really thought you could pose any threat, but just in case, so he rushed over to deal with it."

"It's one of his day jobs, so to speak."

What he said was not to hurt Andy, but to make Andy realize his situation.

After all, the royal family was still a small role just now, full of contemptuous descriptions.

But if you really want to treat the royal family as a small role, you will definitely suffer a big loss, because the so-called small is completely from the perspective of the whole world.

In North Africa, or even in the whole of Africa, the York royal family can be regarded as a large power, which can easily crush some small countries, let alone some individuals.

Moreover, if the royal family is really a small role, then what are they, those rebels who hide their heads and show their tails, and dare not confront the royal family openly?
His meaning is clear.

Andy just nodded when he heard the words, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, the ugly man smiled slightly.

"Don't be discouraged. If you are really worthless, the housekeeper won't target you. If you don't believe me, my daughter is very good. She won No.2. That old thing is not only not targeted, but appreciated."

This remark annoyed Lily, who had been listening quietly, but after looking at Andy, she didn't say anything.

In front of outsiders, the girl has always been used to keeping a restrained temper, and now that her father is talking about business and her grandfather is watching quietly, she will not play petty temper and open up to make trouble.

"Okay, let's talk about the qualification that made you suppressed."

When he said this, the ugly man's tone became serious.

"As I said earlier, in this country, the royal family is a giant, but in the world, it is just a small player."

"This whole world, specifically, can actually point to an empire."

"empire?"

"Assyria, Covenant, Gunther, Silver Eagle, Blackthorn, Stars...the empire has many names, but we generally call it the empire. Because in this world, or in the extraordinary world, there is only such an empire."

"The York royal family abdicated willingly, but the reason why they were willing to give up the throne was not for the well-being of the people, but because they wanted to become subjects of the empire."

"In reality, the royal family got what they wanted. After giving up the throne, they became part of the empire."

"But there are hundreds of members like them in the entire empire. The York family is not respected at all within the empire system."

"They're not reconciled to that."

When he said this, he paused slightly, and his expression was a little silent.

It seems to feel its own insignificance.

It is true that an ordinary member of the empire has been a mountain that has been pressing on their heads for countless years, and it is difficult to move.

This gap even made him a little bit at a loss how to describe it.

But the ugly man is not a sentimental person, after a moment of silence, he continued talking.

"The York family, unwilling to be a small player, is eager to climb up, but normally, they have no chance at all, because compared to other members of the empire, York's strength is the weakest."

"However, a few years ago, a big man came out in this country, and they saw an opportunity—a huge opportunity."

"Big man?"

"Yes, real big shots."

Raising his hand and taking a sip of his tea, the ugly man said in a solemn tone: "There are only two members of the imperial family today, one is the empress, and the other is the sole heir of the empire. We can call him the crown prince."

"And the big man we mentioned is the teacher of the crown prince."

"Is it related to that qualification?"

"Of course, it's arguably crucial."

"Because the qualifications we are talking about, or quotas, refer to the identity of this teacher's personal disciple."
