Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

It is said that the reason they did this was to demonstrate to the Holy King.

Because recently there was a piece of news circulating from the royal family that the Holy King intended to establish Princess Karko as the next Holy King, and now the southern nobles are basically all the followers of the eldest prince Caspond, so they are naturally dissatisfied with this.

But Andre naturally scoffed at this statement.

He has been in the Holy Kingdom for who knows how many years. Not only does he work in intelligence, but he also has a deep understanding of the Holy King.

The other party would not do such an irrational thing, and even if so, he would not rashly leak the matter out.

Not to mention sending his future crown prince to the empire to study.

What kind of crown prince is he if he is not in his own country all year round?

That's called a proton.

Therefore, Andre was more inclined to believe that this was just a false news that was framed by the southern nobles and released rashly.

The only thing that made him curious was why these southern nobles did this.

Fighting for power, or showing off one's strength in order to suppress the northern nobles when the eldest prince ascends the throne of the Holy King in the future?

There are so many possibilities here.

But now Andre was more curious about why his old friend suddenly brought up this matter.

"Do you think that the princess will cooperate with us to oppose the eldest prince because of the targeting by the southern nobles?"

"impossible."

Andre shook his head decisively: "From the perspective of the princess, she is eager to get her fiefdom and leave as soon as possible."

"This is actually a good thing for Her Royal Highness the Princess. It is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess has a very good relationship with the Prince."

"Iben, you are a little too imaginative."

Andre couldn't help but advise, but he didn't expect Ibn to shake his head repeatedly at this time.

"No, no, no, Andre, that's not what you mean."

"In fact, in my opinion, the focus of this order is not on Her Royal Highness the Princess, but on us."

Although Iben was talking about us at the beginning, his finger was pointing outside the door at this time.

"You mean..."

Andre immediately realized something and was stunned.

Iben immediately shook his head.

Years of tacit understanding allowed the two to convey all information just by looking at each other.

Yes, His Highness Karko may not care about this matter, but his subordinates will care!

This is just like what happened to the eldest prince. Although this incident might be a rumor fabricated by the southern nobles, at that time, even the northern nobles who usually did not get along with the southern nobles did not say anything at this time.

After all, this did not harm their interests, and they were the Great Prince's people after all. Only when the Great Prince ascended to the throne of the Holy King could their interests be maximized.

As for the other princes and princesses, they would not say anything.

Because they are the beneficiaries of this incident, in the end only Princess Karko will suffer.

But wasn't it all for Her Royal Highness the Princess that the Holy King did so many things in the past period of time?

So for the sake of the overall situation, what's wrong with sacrificing the interests of Her Royal Highness Princess Karko?

It’s not a big deal to offend a princess who only has a few knights as guards and may not be in the Holy Kingdom for many years in the future.

Besides, the law does not hold everyone responsible. If Her Royal Highness the Princess is the first to settle accounts with them, they can also seek the protection of the eldest prince. After all, in the eyes of most people, they do these things for the eldest prince. Can you just stand by and watch?

From a common sense perspective, this seems to be no problem.

But the problem is that their Wind Flower Scripture is here!

They are fanatical believers of the God of Wind. How are you treating the followers of the God of Wind like this? It's no different from slapping them in the face!

At this moment, Andre automatically excluded himself from the fanatics.

He even thought further.

He suspected that he had described the situation here as too bad when he wrote the request for help to the headquarters of the Church a few months ago, which actually made the headquarters want to completely drain them and then discard them.

It worked. The power of the Theocracy successfully infiltrated the Holy Kingdom.

Lose and deal with a bunch of unstable factors.

It seemed like killing two birds with one stone, but what should they do?

At this moment, Andre felt as if the sky was falling.

If time could go back, he would definitely choose to deceive his superiors and subordinates and get along well with his colleagues in the same branch.

Instead of hovering on the edge of a cliff like now.

"No...no, there is still hope."

For a moment, Andre seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"If that's the case, then Shui Ming Sheng Dian and the others might have come quietly."

After hearing this, Iben nodded silently.

The Wind Flower Scripture and the Water Bright Scripture are both intelligence organizations of the Silian Theocracy, but they differ in form.

Most of the members of the Wind Flower Scripture are ordinary people of low status. Only the branch heads may have the status of nobles and businessmen. They are often good at obtaining information through subtle details or by bribing people.

Everyone in the Shuiming Holy Scripture is a socialite, and they are good at getting what they need through casual conversation among the upper class.

Even for the Wind Flower Festival, there is still the possibility that the people in the branch can be transferred back, but the Water Bright Scripture will always be rooted in a certain kingdom.

Because the Holy Kingdom was too remote and there were threats from demi-humans, they only sent the Wind Flower Scripture to facilitate retreat.

Now that there is a problem with the Wind Flower Scripture, it is natural to send another one over.

Perhaps they could get in touch with the people of Wind Flower Holy Scripture, and then slowly make plans in order to...

Ding ding ding, there was a series of violent knocks on the door, and it seemed that the person outside was very anxious.

"Head Priest, Head Priest, something bad has happened!"

As if realizing that Andre and Iben were still thinking and hesitating, the people outside finally couldn't help it.

"The Holy Kingdom nobles were attacked at a ball hosted by the temple!"

"No matter in the north or south, many nobles are dead. It is said that the purple-robed master is also dead!"

"What did you say!"

At this moment, Andre could no longer hold back and quickly stood up.

How come you guys took action so quickly!

Iben, who was standing beside him, also had dull eyes.

It was only a few days before and after!

Chapter 16: Revenge never takes overnight.

"Oh, God of Wind."

Andre and Iben wailed as they almost ran all the way to the door, opened it, and then pulled the waiter outside into the house.

Before leaving, the two of them did not forget to kick the door back together.

With a clang, a huge sound echoed in the branch of the Wind Flower Scripture.

But at this time, not many people in the branch cared about this matter.

Andre and Iben threw the waiter on the sofa, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, held each other down like two door gods.

"God... Head Priest, what are you doing?!"

There was a hint of crying in the waiter's slightly aggrieved words.

Although many waiters in the branch have fallen into the category of fanatics, he is not yet. In a sense, he is just a jerk.

He just had to come here to report something important, but he didn't expect...

The waiter looked at the two fierce-looking chief priests in front of him. He had never seen such a serious expression on his old boss's face before.

No, I risked my life to come here and report the news, but I didn't expect that in the end I would be repaid with ingratitude!

The waiter subconsciously curled up his body, looking shy and pitiful, but this silenced Andre and Iben, who were just about to apologize, and they couldn't help but wipe their eyes.

Finally, the two looked at each other and opened their mouths, but didn't know what to say, so they could only sigh deeply.

"Okay, tell me honestly what happened. What do you mean by many nobles died?"

Andre asked tiredly, while Iben put pressure on him with his eyes.

Since there is a misunderstanding, let's leave it as it is.

"Where did these nobles get into trouble, and when did it happen?"

"Oh, yes, it's the noble banquet held by the temple today!"

"banquet?"

Andre and Iben looked at each other.

Of course he knew about the banquet. He heard that it was a daily method used by the temple to deepen its relationship with the nobles.

Although the northern and southern nobles are in opposition, their relationship with the temple is ambiguous.

This time, nobles from the north and south gathered together for a rare occasion, and with the purple-robed master present, the temple would naturally not miss this opportunity.

It was said that in addition to many nobles, several princes and princesses, and even the great wizard Fluder were invited.

And you tell me that in this situation, someone assassinated nobles and killed many of them. Are you kidding me?

The waiter seemed to have noticed the doubt in the two men's eyes. Despite the disbelieving looks from Andre and Iben, his long-established professional instinct still made him tremblingly tell them what had happened.

"Chief Priest Andre, I really didn't lie to you!"

"It just happened. I was wandering outside when a bone dragon suddenly appeared on the street in front of me and rushed towards a manor."

"When I first saw the bone dragon, I just wanted to run, but I didn't expect that the bone dragon was destroyed before I ran far. The manor was also in a bad state, and the surrounding area was in a mess."

The waiter shook his head as he spoke.

Although the Bone Dragon Lv.16 is not a particularly strong opponent for warriors, it has extremely powerful immunity to magic damage.

Any magic below the sixth tier has no effect on bone dragons, making them the natural enemy of magic casters.

Once encountering this kind of undead creature, the only way for the magic caster is to use summons to fight the bone dragon head-on.

But unfortunately, he was just a second-tier magic caster, specialized in intelligence, and could not summon any being that could fight against the bone dragon, so he could only run away.

Fortunately, the bone dragon was destroyed not long after. However, he also discovered something bigger.

"Then I looked at the manor and suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the place where the temple entertained many nobles, so I secretly used magic to eavesdrop."

The waiter pointed to his ear and indicated.

He knows a second-level magic called [Elephant Ear], which can enhance hearing and allow him to hear things dozens of meters away.

"As a result, I heard the news of the noble's death. It is said that the upper body of the purple-robed master was swept away by the claws of the skull dragon."

"When I heard the news, I realized something was wrong and rushed back immediately. I was almost discovered by the soldiers on the way."

"I don't know what the situation is there now, but the Holy King seems to have led his army to block the entire Hobans. On my way back, I saw them searching one by one for the magic chanter who summoned the undead, and now they are almost here."

"Two head priests, let's get ready quickly, otherwise we'll be doomed if something goes wrong!"

The waiter immediately shook Andre's hands excitedly, and his attitude changed so quickly that people were a little overwhelmed for a moment.

This is a branch of the Wind Flower Scripture. If they are discovered, they will be in big trouble.

This is why he, a gangster, ran back in a hurry. If he continued to be a gangster at this time, he would probably lose his life.

Andre and Iben looked at each other and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

The two men ignored the waiter lying on the sofa, rushed out of the house, and began to gather the members who were in the branch at that time and quickly arranged the tasks.

In a panic, Andre and Iben both discovered that someone was missing from the branch, and then they looked at each other.
