In the Great Hall of Light, members of the College of Cardinals in the holy city of Reims discussed the materials and reports submitted by Sard.

"The mental condition of the clergy and night watchmen in the diocese of Holm is very problematic." Saint Melmoth, the master of the Knights Templar, only said in the report.

The remaining members of the College of Cardinals were all silent, because these extreme night watchmen clearly disagreed with Pope Benedict II's approach, and believed that the church should not tolerate the Magic Council, let alone continue to fight because of the latest discovery of arcane magic.

Changing the divine arts and doctrines is a blasphemy against the God of Truth, so he made such a strong counterattack in order to express his dissatisfaction to the higher-ups of the church.

Benedict II's eyes were deep and dark, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. After a long time, he spoke calmly.

"In this case, let's deal with it according to the opinions of the Glory Cathedral! Punish the night watchman, remove the cardinal of the Inquisition, and transfer Amorton and others to the Holm Diocese!"

The cardinal of the Diocese of Violet immediately expressed his approval. Amorton and others are the confidants of Bishop Salde. They have been staying in Alto, which is a constraint for him. Now they are just clearing out all the people in Salde.

If he goes out, he can completely control the diocese, and his strength will naturally be enhanced, he said with great joy.

"I comply with the order of His Majesty the Pope and I will re-appoint a cardinal in charge of the Inquisition."

The matter had nothing to do with him and he kept it high. The other cardinals remained silent and did not express their opinions.

"Well, one more thing. Bishop Amorton angered Star Knight Ivan Vincent, so he went to Holm to ask him to be more honest and not cause any more trouble!"

"Ivan Vincent, the youngest epic knight, really shouldn't anger him anymore. This is a knight who grew up in Alto. He is already engaged to Natasha. We need to do our best.

The strong man to win over!”

"Ivan Vincent is expected to become a legendary peak knight. He has great potential and outstanding talent. Indeed, we should not push him to the side of the Magic Council. We should try our best to win over him. This will be of great benefit to us in controlling the Holm Church!"

In the Glorious Cathedral, Salde saw the written reply, smiled and rubbed the paper. Then he swiped his finger. Juliana appeared at the end of the punishment list, but her punishment results were compared to the two vigils who restrained Baron Austin.

They were much lighter. Those two were executed, but she was imprisoned for one year.

"Send Octave here." Sard passed through the magic circle and ordered the cardinal on duty.

A moment later, Octave, who was wearing a bright red bishop's robe, walked out of the cardinal's study with an unusually gloomy expression. He was actually deprived of his position as the head of the tribunal, which was the second highest position among the cardinals.

The actual power position of a small parish, radical night watchmen appear every year. How much does this have to do with you?

"What's the big deal about killing a noble who listened to the mysterious voice and turned to the Magic Council? Does it violate the teachings of the Lord? Is it possible to see evil and let them develop? The church is really getting weaker!"

Walking in the Glorious Cathedral, Octave felt countless sympathetic looks, and couldn't help shouting in his heart.

"His Majesty the Pope, have you seen it? They are all sympathizing with me and questioning your handling of the matter!"

On June 20, after the funerals of King Feltis and Prince Patrick had been completed, Natasha, dressed in a black conservative dress, received Duke James, Duke Russell and Earl Season.

"The church's punishment results have come out. The two night watchmen who took action at that time will be executed by the tribunal. The other night watchmen will also be punished to varying degrees. Please convey this result to Baron Austin's family and help me convey my condolences."

Natasha drew a cross on her chest, looked solemn, expressed her sorrow to the Dukes, and spoke out the church's decision in a deep voice.

Duke James was a little dissatisfied. He was a liberal and already had opinions about the church. Now that the night watchman killed a noble baron for no reason, it ended like this, which made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Just punish the night watchmen? Those lunatics will not be afraid. Are we going to live in fear from now on? The person in charge of the tribunal must be punished. Let them be alert, and the night watchmen of the tribunal should be screened immediately, and all those with extreme tendencies should be controlled

Live and wipe it out. This is the view of some of our nobles. Her Majesty the Queen, this is also to ensure your safety. Madmen should not live!"

This punishment decision is actually not completely unacceptable to the liberals. They do not want to directly provoke a conflict with the church. It is expected that the church will make such a concession. The reason why Duke James used the topic to play on it is because he wants to

Test Natasha's attitude and inclination. This was a strategy they had long discussed. Duke Russell and Earl Season nodded in agreement.

Natasha looked seriously, glanced at the three of them, and said righteously.

"Duke James, Duke Russell, and Earl Sea Pines. It is the church's fault this time for not being optimistic about the Extreme Night Watch. However, their apology is very sincere. I think the punishment result is acceptable. The execution of the murderer can already comfort Baron Austin.

"

"Moreover, the head of the tribunal, Cardinal Octave, has also been dismissed from his post. I believe Bishop Sard will slowly control those lunatics. Your request is correct, but it cannot be too radical and does not give the church some relief.

It not only violates the Lord's teachings of kindness and forgiveness, but also does not give the church a step forward. The consequences are definitely not what the nobles want to see."

Duke James seemed a little disappointed when he heard Natasha's answer, but he still accepted the reality and said very respectfully.

"Since Her Majesty the Queen thinks it is acceptable, we have no objection."

In the study room of a side hall in Nexor Palace, Ivan Vincent sat at the desk, flipping through the "Arcane" magazine in his hand. Arcane represents the knowledge of the origin and operating laws of the world, and Arcana is the essence and principle of magic.

Meaning, this "Arcane" magazine was founded by Douglas three hundred years ago. Each issue will publish the latest discoveries and theories of the Magic Council. Ivan Vincent saw it above.

A familiar name, Lucien Ivan Vincent. He proposed some new electromagnetic theories. At this time, he has become a sixth-ring arcanist and a fifth-ring magician. He is only one step away from becoming a high-level magician.

He has made rapid progress and is worthy of being the protagonist with the Soul Library plug-in. He stands on the shoulders of countless scientific giants and has unparalleled advantages and talents in studying arcana.

Natasha walked into the study alone, came to stand in front of Ivan Vincent, looked at the "Arcana" in his hand, frowned slightly, and reminded.

"This is the Nexor Palace after all, and there are many eyes staring at it. If you just openly read the magic magazine of the Magic Council, it can easily be interpreted as being close to the Magic Council!"

Ivan Vincent put down the magazine in his hand, looked up at Natasha, showed a faint smile, and said something shocking.

"Just to let those eyes see it, so that the enlightened nobles can be appeased!"

"You should have already conveyed the church's decision on punishment. Duke James and the others will definitely be dissatisfied and even a little uneasy. They will most likely make preparations in advance to deal with any eventuality!"

Natasha sighed. It was really difficult to sit in the Queen's position. The interests of each party need to be considered. Both the bowl of water and the bowl of water must be uneven. You need to make decisions based on the situation at all times.

Adjustment.

"This time, the night watchman was indeed too extreme. He actually dared to break into the noble area and killed a baron, which aroused the hostility of all the nobles. Even some conservative nobles were extremely dissatisfied!"

Ivan Vincent stood up, walked to Natasha, held her hand, walked out of the study, and said.

"Since the church has made the nobles feel wronged and dissatisfied, then you need to make a statement and give the nobles a gesture! Appease all the dissatisfied nobles!"

"What to do?"

Natasha lowered her head and glanced at her clasped hands. She felt pretty good. There was no sense of rejection like she had with men in the past. She was even vaguely happy. Her mind was not thinking about things at all, so she asked directly.

"I remember Mr. Hathaway is your elder, and he has a very good relationship with you! Don't you want to visit your elder?"

Natasha naturally thought about this, but after she became the queen of Holm, this idea was restrained by him. She could not act recklessly and make actions that could easily be considered tendentious.

"Is it okay to do this? Will it dissatisfy conservatives and the teachings?"

Ivan Vincent looked up at the sky, and a floating city came into view. It was Arlinge, the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council. It was a paradise for magic. He was extremely interested and said.

"I want to visit Arlinge and am very interested in the Magic Parliament of this world!"

"Then it's a happy decision. Let's go to Arlinge together to visit Granny Hathaway. Who made the church right this time? It just gave us a reason and an excuse. I'm really grateful to those radical night watchmen. Wait until Lake

When Duke Si and the church asked, I said it was to appease all the restless nobles!"

Natasha had a bright smile on her face, and she held Ivan Vincent's hand tightly with her palms. She made this decision very lovingly, quite like a fatuous monarch, smiling for the beauty, beacon fire drama.

princes.

After leaving Nexor Palace, Duke Russell and Earl Season crowded into Duke James' carriage. The three of them fell into an unspeakable silence. It was not until they were approaching the villa that Duke Russell sighed, broke the depression, and looked at

Looking at the other two people, he persuaded.

"Her Majesty the Queen has been nurtured by the church since she was a child, and she grew up in Alto, which has a conservative religious atmosphere. It is normal to be slightly biased towards the church, and there is no need to be too pessimistic."

"I'm afraid this is just the beginning. Her teacher is Beria, the Glory of God."

James' face was gloomy and changeable, showing a bit of dissatisfaction. He didn't expect Natasha to be biased towards the Magic Council, but she couldn't be biased towards the Church of Truth. It was best to remain completely neutral.

Earl Haisong nodded, lowered his voice, and spoke to the two dukes with a cautious expression.

"We need to make some preparations early so that we won't be at a loss when the time comes. We have to make some arrangements."

Suddenly, there was the sound of dragon-scaled horses galloping outside, and a knight who was watching the movements of Nexor Palace leaned against the carriage window.

"What's wrong?"

Duke James recognized that this was a loyal knight of his family, and asked in a lowered voice.

The knight had a strange expression, as if he was surprised or happy. He looked around with his eyes and spoke quickly in a low voice.

"Duke Ivan Vincent has been reading Arcana magazine recently. Her Majesty the Queen and Ivan Vincent are going to Arline to visit Her Excellency Hathaway!"

"What?"

Earl Haisong blurted out, there was such a change, what happened to this world!

"Her Majesty, shouldn't you be close to the church? How could you suddenly make such a shocking decision? Is this to express a position?"

"His Excellency Ivan Vincent's actions reveal a clear signal. This means that Her Majesty the Queen will never exclude the Magic Council and is sending a signal to everyone!"

"She will govern the kingdom fairly, never favoring the church, and appease the uneasy hearts of all nobles!"'

Count Haisong's eyes were filled with confusion. The world was changing too fast. What should they do?

"Do we still need to make preparations?"

"Just wait and see, don't be anxious, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen and His Excellency Ivan Vincent will not necessarily fall to the conservative side!"

"That's right, we can wait a little longer and wait and see what happens. We can't make any mistakes. We still need time to judge!"

In the queen's palace, Natasha returned here. Camille had been waiting here for a long time, looking at Natasha with a strange expression.

"Why do you suddenly want to visit Arlinge? This is too radical. Even visiting the Royal Magic Tower of Holm is fine. After all, there is a royal family there, and there are many royal family members.

If there is a good reason, it will not irritate the church and conservative aristocrats."

"What Ivan Vincent proposed is that it can appease the uneasiness of the nobles and won't have much impact!"
