While Sully and others were busy controlling the memory of the residents of Rota County, in the city of Sardina in another world, Cyril came out of the customs much earlier than Custer expected.

The researcher was so shocked that the data in his hand fell to the ground. He widened his eyes and said, "It's incredible... or is it because I have never studied awakened monster bloodlines before that I didn't anticipate this difference?"

The standard used by Custer is the same as that used by Lan Zhe, the first person to try it.

But there is obviously a huge difference between the standards of humans and the dragon-born boy who has awakened the blood of monsters.

In response, Cyril simply clenched his fists, feeling the changes in the concentration of elements in his body, then blinked and said, "I don't know how to describe the feeling of me absorbing elements."

"Because I was no longer a pure human being not long after I came into contact with the elements. But I think if my cultivation speed is different from that of normal humans, then the difference may be in the strength of my absorption of the elements."

"It's like an ordinary person can only eat a certain amount of food, and it takes time to digest it after eating. The difference between me and them is probably that I can eat more and digest it faster."

Custer slapped his forehead vigorously, feeling hopeless at this explanation. He waved his hands vigorously and said to the dragon-born boy who had clearly exceeded his expectations, "Alright, I understand. I'll let you go after you draw a tube of blood."

Custer would not rely on Cyril's verbal explanation for the real reason. Only real data and reports could explain everything.

The dragon boy didn't care about any of this.

He has more important things, or more important ideas, to achieve.

With sufficient strength and knowing that Custer's estimated time is one month later, Suli, who is in the monster society, knowing this premise, will definitely be able to wait for the follow-up support after a month.

So Cyril didn't think it was necessary for her to look for Sully in such a hurry.

On the contrary, Julius, who has not yet had the chance to enter the monster society, will become his most suitable collaborator at this time.

When Julius came to the City of Mercenaries again, he couldn't understand why his originally planned collaborator, or colleague, had not only run away before him, but more than one person had run away.

But before he had time to feel sad, he was overwhelmed by all kinds of messages from Cyril.

"I intend to directly dismantle the pattern of Amiqbi's existence."

"There is no doubt that this is a country that is constantly dominated by the royal family and the nobility. It took decades for ordinary people to get rid of the fate of being enslaved and gain freedom within restrictions. This is too long."

Julius was confused: "What do you want to say?"

"My point is that until Sully comes back, the country cannot continue in the same state of ignorance that it was when he left."

Julius' eyes lit up: "Could it be that you want to kill my blood-related father?"

"Pedantic." Cyril looked at Julius in confusion and said, "Have you forgotten "No One Knows Mr. Sully Better Than I Do 2"?

Julius blinked. "Maybe?"

Cyril decisively gave up communicating with him.

At this moment, he felt that it would be faster to communicate with the Son of Light whose head was filled with no stars but only the sea than to talk to Julius.

At least that person will understand Suli's entire thought. Even if he doesn't, Diz will definitely rack his brains to understand it.

The one in front of you is not very good.

Cyril clenched his fists again, and for a moment he thought that even if Julius acted as a thug, he would not be as fast as if he did it himself.

He went to find Euphia now.

Unlike Sully, Cyril does not have the ability to gather everyone at the first time.

However, when he said to Euphia, who was buried in various documents, "If I say that Suli had already anticipated the current situation and had already provided a solution, Sister Euphia, would you believe it?"

Yufia's eyes widened, she slapped the table heavily with both hands, and then raised her voice and said, "How could I not believe it!"

Since you believe it, that's fine.

Cyril said nothing, but turned to Euphia and asked her to call other people with decision-making power together. After everyone gathered, the young man said, "If you don't try to seize power in this country, even the warmest soup will get cold."

The Dark Pope, who had originally intended to see what the young man next to him had to say, asked in a low voice with an interested look, "So what are you going to do?"

Of course...

Get Meredith Amikuby out of office, get rid of Amikuby's current royalism, and then get rid of all those nobles who are full of sophisticated egoism, and replace them with people who can support the high-speed operation of this country.

Second, there are too few researchers represented by Castells.

If the entire country is under his control, and Custer's research project is vigorously promoted, as well as the mass production of the alchemy tools behind it, then the efficient development that will follow can be imagined.

And if everything goes slowly, what can those little cats in the Custer Institute do?

He might be able to support a city, but could they support an entire country?

Who knows how many people there are in the monster society, and who knows how many monsters have fighting power comparable to Elvi?

Who knows if a random scratch on an element when those guys start fighting would send Sully straight to heaven?

Just by going over these possible scenes in his mind, Cyril became so anxious that he wished he could directly command the human army, which would be greatly strengthened in the future under Custer's research, to directly surround the entire monster society.

How can you have the time to wait and slowly rise to the top?

From Cyril's perspective now, all we can say is that the idea was good, but the efficiency was seriously underestimated.

But you have to know that a year ago, Cyril had never even heard of the word efficiency.

If more than a year ago, his biggest fantasy was to have a full stomach, then his biggest goal now is to arm Suli in all aspects, even at the cost of forcibly dominating the entire country.

Others were not astonished, but they certainly did not expect that there was an idea of ​​direct manipulation from the top. At least the Dark Pope's approach was to slowly surround from the bottom and gradually change the upper structure, rather than directly making dominant improvements from the top down.

But if you ask if this can be done?

That's awesome.

Let's not talk about how many of the current royal families are all-rounders, just the king's not-so-strong strength and his chronically poisoned body that could kill him at any time...

Is he capable of resisting?

And if Ophelia, the only one with a brain, notices all this, will she really stop it?

No matter what, the people in the Mercenary City have always held the evidence that she is not from the royal family.

There doesn't seem to be much pressure in using this to threaten Ophelia's position.

In the face of a life-and-death crisis, no matter how many schemes and tricks the princess has, she cannot stop everyone's recognition that either you cooperate honestly and live quietly, or you don't cooperate and die directly.

The second is the grandson of the Chief Justice in the palace, Willard, who is also a "talent" who can be used directly.

He personally poisoned his own father to the point where he was about to die at any moment, and he was also able to poison his own half-sister. Later, because he was really not taken seriously by others, he pushed the poison in his sister onto his father...

Who can say this is not a "talent"?

At this time, Julius, who was also listening in, asked a question.

"Why did you want to cooperate with me in the beginning?"

Cyril tried to make it less obvious that she was looking at a fool, and said bluntly: "No matter how rubbish the Church of Light is, only the Pope of Light died before. Even if the people of the Dark Church suppressed the Church of Light for their own interests, they would not have targeted the branches of the Church of Light in every city and the patriarchs who were in charge of them, right?"

"And you and Deze, no matter who you are, and no matter whether you are willing to actually become the Pope in public, you both have the right of inheritance, right?"

"Sully once said that faith is something that will indeed be destroyed quickly when it should be destroyed, but as long as it is not completely destroyed and there is still a spark of faith among ordinary people, any positive action can save many people." Cyril glanced at the Dark Pope with a deep look in his eyes.

In fact, he never understood what was going on with this person.

If the Church of Light wanted to completely destroy the Dark Pope, it should have seized the opportunity earlier.

The days after Mavis merged the two powers can be said to be the best time.

But at that time, the Dark Saint followed Suli to the City of Mercenaries.

Cyril had reason to suspect that the Dark Pope had a hand in the Dark Saint's actions.

If you only look at the fact that he is working for the Dark Elementalist to stand in the light again, you will find that he is not a particularly bad person. But if you look at his previous actions and patterns, you will be surprised to find that he seems to have been fishing in troubled waters and has not really done anything practical.

Are you not doing it because you don’t want to do it?

Cyril thought about this question.

He didn't know about Charles's existence, and he didn't know what the Five stood for. Therefore, he couldn't immediately judge like Suli that the reason why the Dark Pope did this was that he would not act and expose himself before he was absolutely sure.

There is no difference between 99% and 100% for many people, but for them, if they do not achieve 100%, they will still regard it as impossible.

Charles, who died young, is a lesson for us.

Therefore, the Dark Pope's way of action is to lurk, and continue to lurk for a long time, until he becomes a huge monster in the darkness, and then he brings it to the light, and then all forces covet it, while constantly being wary.

As for the Dark Pope's bottom-up encirclement progress... When others agreed to directly dismantle the existing system of the country of Amicbee, Euphia was surprised to find that this elder had almost created a "new force" in different cities that could compete with the Church of Light.

Although everyone knows that those who are ordered by the Dark Pope are members of the Dark Church, but ever since they stood under the sun, no one has used evil words such as members of the Dark Church, betrayers of the God of Light, traitors, etc. to describe them.

Therefore, everything can only be packaged as a new force and start to act with everyone's tacit approval.

When she found out these facts, Euphia said from the bottom of her heart: "I even feel that the city in Licheng has become an isolated island excluded by all other cities."

The City of Mercenaries is an autonomous city. It doesn't make sense for Euphia to pay attention to other cities when she has so many things to do.

Thus, the Dark Church quietly took control of the political power of many cities.

The key point is that no Licheng nobles discovered it.

"Rather than saying it's an isolated island, it's better to say it's an abandoned place." Mavis smiled. She had found an excuse to leave Sadina with Julius just to do these things.

"You, or you all, are still too narrow-minded." Mavis bluntly hit everyone, "Why do you have to care so much about that city?"

"Have you ever seen Sully care?"

"He never cared about that!"

Mavis' eyes sparkled. "This means that even if power, interests, money, and nobles were all concentrated in that city in the past, now that city is not even worth a full-scale invasion. In my opinion, it is more like a... well, a capital reserve camp."

"When we feel we have no money, when we feel we don't have enough funds, then that city is the best ATM."

Mavis smiled and said the truth that she had never concealed but no one except Sully could see through: "Do you know why I wanted to destroy the Tros family?"

Mavis didn't mind at all explaining another purpose of her original action.

"Of course, it's because it's rich."

"After all these endless years of oppression and murder, how many Dark Elementalists do you think there are?"

"But do you know how many cities there are in human society? Do you know how many people are needed to control the political system of a city?"

Mavis suddenly shook her head as she spoke: "No, it's not so much people that we need, but money."

Lan Zhe has money, Mavis has money, and the Dark Pope has even more money.

The wealth accumulated by the Dark Church is comparable to the reserves of an entire country.

"With great rewards, there will always be people who will submit to the Dark Church."

"Everyone, no, to be more precise, everyone who has met Lan Zhe and knows him well knows that the Dark Church has money." Mavis flicked her nails and raised her eyes with an extremely graceful gesture, "But no one would not want more money."

"Sully didn't prevent the destruction of Tros, and despite the pain and suffering he felt, he watched the family being destroyed, didn't he?"

"Because he knows, no, I should say he must know what the Dark Church's purpose is."

Rather than saying that the people around Sully know him best, it is better to say that those who have watched from afar, had occasional contact with him, and have investigated him thoroughly in private know more.

The people in the red building never knew how big the palace library was, and how many books were stored there. To pick out valuable books from those books and obtain key information to determine the existence of another civilization, the Dark Pope estimated that it would be much more difficult than when he planned for decades after Charles' death.

Say Suli doesn't know?

If he didn't know, he wouldn't be able to watch Tros being destroyed by the people of the Dark Church.

He didn't know, and it was impossible for him to let Mavis follow him without any obvious obstruction, and then let the Dark Saint leave lightly.

Who would treat their home as a hotel and accept anyone they don't know?

Where did the books in the palace library come from? They came from the people. How could a group of mermaid-blooded royals with brains filled with seawater write so many books?

It's impossible.

So how many people have read those books?

After many years and generations, it was figured out that he was the only one.

Even the Pope of Light learned about it directly from the "channel of God".

What do these things mean? Those idiots in the small building have no idea.

Mavis couldn't stand these guys, until she realized now that they were eyeing more than just a mercenary city.

Even the first person to offer real feedback was the eldest prince with ice-blue eyes.

But the question is, what practical things can a child accomplish?

The Dark Pope was about to take control of the entire country, and it took Cyril and the other idiots in the small building to react. It turned out that there was a plan to speed up and improve efficiency.

Mavis directly taunted him: "Your biggest mistake is to try to understand Sully in your own way."

"He has something higher, higher, higher! You, no, to be more precise, we, all of us, don't understand, something higher."

"These are not empty words. I have made the most rational judgment after knowing everything." Mavis' face was flushed unconcealably.

She thought that even if she grew old and her brain degenerated over the years, she would never forget the scene of that young man commanding two guys who were far weaker than the Pope of Light, eventually subduing the Pope of Light, and driving an extremely large crow to save his companions.

Cyril looked steadily at Mavis.

Only then did he realize that there were people crazier than Egbert, but they had never shown themselves.

“Do you think so too?” Cyril turned his gaze towards the Dark Pope, whose presence had greatly increased.

The cunning old man deliberately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, with his eyebrows and eyes crooked. But Cyril felt that it was just a simple crooked eyes, making the aging apple muscles automatically tilt up without the corners of the mouth being raised.

"You could have discovered all this earlier." The Dark Pope came to the City of Mercenaries for many different and complex reasons, but his main purpose was that he wanted to see what Sully would do to the Dark Church.

As a result, the young man did nothing. Not only that, he was chased by a giant dragon before anyone could react, and then he just followed the dragon and ran away.

Run away——!

The Dark Pope, who was watching all this quietly at the time, had a mind full of mosaics.

He couldn't understand why Sully would take the initiative to step into another world where he himself was powerless to resist, even with everyone around him, he was also powerless to resist.

At that time, the Dark Pope was wondering if Suli didn't take the Dark Church seriously?

Or maybe he simply doesn't believe that the Dark Church, which actively stands under the light, will not do bad things again?

Or does he trust Lan Zhe's family enough... the organization behind the Dark Son?

Countless ideas.

The dark pope couldn't figure out what the boy was thinking at that time.

But he only had to recall the scene where Sully sat in the carriage without curtains, sitting at the same table with the humanoid monster, and they were still able to talk and laugh happily, and then he felt that there was nothing to be entangled about.

Brilliant and gorgeous, bright and clear.

So what can he do?

What kind of response should we give to live up to this trust and expectations?

I guess this is the only option left.

The only option was "deification," which Custer agreed to.

The Dark Pope didn't mind that the Son of God he had cultivated for many years not only ran away, but also that the Saint had a far higher respect for Suli than himself. In fact, he had already thrown the Dark God that he always talked about into a corner, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to carve Suli's appearance into a statue.

He even criticized Egbert's release of "No One Knows Mr. Surly Better Than Me 1-2".

"It's simply stupid!" said the Dark Pope. "He could have just regarded these books as classics and showed his fanatical trust in them, and then told the nobles, or even just used the process and reasons of the death of the Cardinal of the Holy See of Light to explain it. Then the nobles would become the most obedient dogs in his hands and truly introduce the glory of Suli to the world."

Euphia and others were stunned.

This feeling is probably that when she was still racking her brains to think about how to open up the new land, her teammates, who were not really teammates, had already occupied the entire map, and when they were done, they told her that this was all she had.

Regardless of whether it was heart-wrenching or not, Euphia's feeling right now was...

How dare someone surpass her trust in Sully!

"But doesn't Godefroy's existence ultimately make those nobles become Sully's dogs?" Euphia looked at the Dark Pope unconvinced.

The old man just sneered and forgave the naivety of his old friend's only daughter.

"Godfrey was created by Suli himself. If Suli has done everything himself, then what use would he have for you?"

The Dark Pope threw off his hood, his face revealing obvious distress and indignation.

"If it were me, I would never let him handle these little things himself."

"And in such a roundabout way." Since his own saint had already exposed everything, the Dark Pope didn't mind speaking directly, "Egbert could have used simpler means, but because of his stupidity, Sully had to resort to more means."

The old man said nothing, and Sully made a detour simply because he lacked strength.

Compared to the possibility that President Asa might regard Sully as a substitute for Charles, the Dark Pope's idea from the beginning to the end was that Sully was far beyond everything in this era.

Anyone!

——

The others were stunned.

And I couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

There was no sense of crisis before because most of the people around Sully were alone and stayed with him.

After such close contact for such a long time, who would believe that there is no place for him in Sully's heart?

But having your own position and how much you can occupy is another matter.

When the people in the small building quarreled, at most they would go outside the city to fight. But now the Dark Pope, plus a Dark Saint who combined the two elements of light and darkness and had explosive fighting power...

Logically speaking, other people who are still in the human society can't expect to follow Sully to the monster society, right?

Yufia slammed the table and said, "I want to expand the Mercenary Alliance tenfold. I want every mercenary to become Sully's reserve force!"

"Just mercenaries?" Mavis teased her deliberately. "Don't forget that, apart from the inner city, we in the Dark Church have already done it. Everyone in every city, regardless of gender, age or status, can become the backbone of Suli."

The inner city? That is a lost city.

No one cares now.

"Of course it's not just mercenaries." The door of the red building was pushed open by Dean Asa.

He had been here for a while, or rather since Mavis started talking.

But for some reason, I didn't open the door just now. Instead, I listened to everything quietly and only chose to join in at this moment.

"Every student in Asa Academy is willing to work for Suli." Dean Asa stared at the Dark Pope. Although the smile on his face looked particularly kind, others inexplicably felt that he was glaring at his old guy who put the hood back on his head.

The Dark Pope disagreed: "From what I know, when the students who were training gathered at the Academy Square, many of them had obvious opinions about Sully, and some even wanted to attack him."

Although those people were later put in sacks by several dark elementalists.

The people in the small building will never know how much control the Dark Pope has over the members of the Dark Church.

When the former regarded the boy as his faith and took the initiative to explain to the latter what Sully's every move represented, the people of the Dark Church had already worshipped Sully unconditionally according to the Dark Pope's narration.

Is he really just an ordinary boy without elemental powers?

Of course not, that was a miracle! That was the coming of the true God!

At least that's what the Dark Pope told his people.

Can Principal Asa do it?

The hooded man doesn't think so.

Dean Asa's eyes flew with even more joy: "Don't let the actions of a small rotten rat be blamed on the entire college."

"Really? Hehe..."

——

Sully will probably never know that there is a fire in his backyard.

Maybe it should be called nuclear explosion?

Now, he is working hard to make every awakened monster bloodline who regards his memory as a movie...

All kidnapped.

That's right, four people tied up an entire city.

Joel was about to cry: "No matter what, this is impossible, right?"

"Of course we can do it." Suli nodded, "We only need to tie up two, let the two tie up four, let the four tie up eight..."

The author has something to say:
