Beatrice's sudden move made the members of the Church of Love dare not respond for a moment.

Even if he was a legend, he wouldn't dare to take responsibility at this time.

Louis said calmly:

"Don't tell me you made such a big move on the land of the empire without instructions from above."

As soon as these words came out, the demigod of the Church of Love who was chasing the dark demigod could no longer hold back.

He stepped out from the crowd and said:

"Your Highnesses, the Church of the God of Love is willing to bear the cost of the damage caused by this action."

Beatrice shook her head and said:

"This is not something a demigod like you should say."

Igniting a war on someone else's soil, no matter how many reasons there are, is an infringement of the sovereignty of the empire.

Demigod?

Is there no demigod in the empire?

As soon as these words were spoken, a sound of scattered footsteps was heard from the thick fog at the exit.

The contemporary Pope of the Church of Love, Gogerich, came out with several cardinals under his command.

"I have seen the great little sun of the empire."

His expression was so respectful that Louis didn't know what to say.

According to church custom, when meeting the first person of the empire, he is usually called "the Great Sun". This is a custom left over from the Age of Eternal Sun.

But neither of them is the first in the empire. Beatrice is the heir, and Louis is the assistant to the next generation of heirs.

Generally speaking, the heir is called the Little Sun.

But influenced by folk customs, the little sun usually refers to a male.

People like the queen and the princess are generally referred to as the "noble moon".

Even in the Star Continent where supernatural powers exist, empresses are still very rare.

So much so that he couldn't figure out for a moment how the church usually addressed them according to etiquette.

But at least one thing is certain.

The Church of Love has no intention of repenting for this action.

——Even though he knew that there was a high probability that they were not doing anything bad.

This is when embarrassing things happen.

The conflict between imperial power and divine authority is an issue that has existed since ancient times.

It’s not necessarily true to say who is right or wrong.

The people of an empire that holds the final say in the age of imperial power do not necessarily live better than the believers in the age of theocracy.

This is a question of where you sit.

Beatrice drew a circle on his palm, indicating that she would handle the matter.

This relieved Louis from some worries.

"Your Majesty, your actions this time are somewhat in violation of the Continental Convention."

The Pope bowed his head and said: "The church will give an accurate reply to the relevant statement and apology, and corresponding compensation will also be delivered."

Beatrice raised an eyebrow.

This is not a gesture, it's as if the Church of Love will agree to all the requests made by the Empire.

She thought for a moment and said:

"I will report this to my father. You should be mentally prepared."

"It would be even better if we could communicate with the Emperor."

The Pope may have noticed that their attitude was rather sharp before, so he has now lowered his stance.

But Louis vaguely guessed something.

He looked at the divine incarnation in the mist.

The emperor might not be unaware of this matter.

At least many years ago, the God-forged Avatar was placed in the City of Art.

What made him regretful was that he was unable to devour the negative energy of the demigod on the dark side of the God of Love.

The Sin Dragon Armed Forces seemed to have a unique judgment mechanism for the negative energy it swallowed.

Those not killed by him personally are not counted.

In the previous battle between demigods, it was not easy for him to take action, and it was even more impossible for him to allow the Church of the God of Love to kill the other demigod and take him away.

Although it seemed that the outcome of the battle would be the same, there were some things he had to be on guard against.

As Beatrice said, "Enemy who dares to take action on the land of Unther should be wiped out by the royal family themselves."

This sentence emphasizes that the opponent is the prey and the royal family is the hunter.

If the Church of the God of Love wanted to take action against the prey chosen by the royal family, it would be tantamount to provoking the hunter.

The premise of all this is that Qian uses the power of the Emperor to kill the other demigod.

If it was the god of love, the church would kill it and take it away directly. If there was any dispute afterwards, they could say that they were "helping the empire to eliminate the threat", and the empire would not be so right.

Even if the Empire knows that it is right, the body is on their side.

The more you emphasize it, the more it will come out that "the empire is incompetent and can only rely on the church to help eliminate hidden dangers."

Even if you explain, you can't stop the people below from thinking.

This was something that Beatrice absolutely could not accept, and the Empire could not accept either.

Even if the church may not do so, the empire will never give up the right to speak to others.

Fortunately, Qian is indeed strong enough.

Seeing that both sides wanted to sit down and talk, all parties began to withdraw in an orderly manner.

It can be predicted that the city of art will be bustling in the next few days.

…

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The news of the City of Art also began to spread.

The biggest headlines in the newspapers in the past few months have been, first, that the God of Love will take the initiative to admit his mistakes and offer compensation, and second, that the strong men of the empire will take the lead and kill the demigod of the dark side of the God of Love in anger.

Although many inside stories were not revealed, what the outside world can be sure of is that the Empire and the Church of Eros were involved in a big deal.

Many civilians still don't know that the Dark Side of Eros organization has grown so big that it has a demigod.

But what they didn't expect was that the Empire and the Church could kill people from their organization who possessed demigods at will.

While muttering about how horrific it was, he further deepened his understanding of the two warring parties.

Especially the Empire.

Judging from the church's attitude towards apology, the empire is stronger than they imagined.

So much so that when Louis was reading the newspaper these days, he noticed the excited trends of the people and felt a little amused.

This is probably hating the great powers, questioning the great powers, becoming a great power? I just hate that it is not me who is strong. There is obviously a trend within the empire.

That night, after Louis finished making love with Beatrice, he was about to hug her to sleep when he felt a familiar breath.

"Louis..."

Louis gently tucked Beatrice's hair behind her ears:

"You go to sleep first, I'll go out and take care of something."

Beatrice snorted softly, and her breathing became normal again after being awakened by Louis's movement.

Louis went out in clean clothes.

After leaving the hotel where they were staying, in a deserted park, he said in a deep voice:

"Don't hide it, I can feel you."

Someone slowly walked out of the shadows.

That face was exactly the same as Olivia's, but with a hint of tiredness.

But now it is clear that Little Swan will not appear in this city.

She is still in seclusion in the imperial capital!

What appears here is the black swan.

She looked Louis up and down and said with a low laugh, "Long time no see. Your strength has increased quite fast."

Louis glanced at the Black Swan.

"You speak as if you are not. The threat you give me is almost gone now."

At first glance, it seems to be saying that the black swan has become weaker.

But it is clear that the black swan has not become weaker.

This means that her threat to Louis would at most be weakened, but not disappear.

He felt this way, which meant a more terrible situation—

"Why did you suddenly come to see me?" Louis said.

"I can't come to see you if nothing happens?" Black Swan snorted, "Or are you worried that I'll disturb your honeymoon like someone else?"

Louis was speechless: "Every time you come to see me, it's for something else. Don't tell me it's not this time."

Black Swan said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you say that... Although I did come to you for something this time."

The sudden change in style caught Louis off guard.

He could only sigh and say:

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Can you accompany Olivia to Tunisia sometime?"

Louis frowned:

"Why accompany Olivia?"

"This way you can pass through reasonably." Black Swan said calmly, "Olivia had some technical cooperation with the Tunisian Battle Mage Corps before..."

Louis understood.

Obviously, after Little Swan's retreat is over, she will go to Tunisia to finish up the communication work left over from before.

But what does this have to do with him? "It has something to do with rage. When I went to hunt down the demigods of the Abyss Church this time, I discovered that they seemed to be planning something on the Giant Plains."

"I felt the power of rage, and... strangely, the power of rage was spread across the plains, in at least hundreds of places."

The news told by Black Swan stunned Louis for a moment.

The war between Tunisia and the Troll Tribe was a few years later, so he didn't really pay attention to the current development of the tribe for a while.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the outside world has been calling that group of trolls the somewhat insulting term “tribe”.

But they do have considerable power.

Even the future diary did not record in detail how Tunisia's defenses were torn apart by the trolls advancing eastward and how they marched straight into the capital.

Because the Tunisian defense was torn apart too suddenly.

Even my future self wondered if there were other forces involved.

I’m not talking about those who stir up trouble behind the scenes, but those who directly surround the trolls and participate in them on the spot.

After all, even though Tunisia was poor and weak in that timeline, its foundation was still there.

There's no reason for it to be penetrated so quickly.

"By the way, I heard you made a lot of money recently."

Black Swan suddenly brought up an unrelated topic.

Louis was stunned and didn't react: "What do you mean?"

"Xilin's painting, isn't it yours at the Meyer Chamber of Commerce?"

"It's mine, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you say that you participated in the fight against the dark side of the God of Love? And you also used the power of Snow Country Border to suppress a group of legends."

Louis suddenly realized.

Although at this time the outside world's main attention is still focused on the Empire and the Church of Eros.

But the performance of "Snow Country Frontier" can no longer be concealed.

This includes the current crackdown on the dark side of the God of Love.

In order to achieve success in one go, the church mobilized too many elite troops.

They can't even hide it among themselves, let alone the empire as an outsider.

Therefore, the wave of "Snow Country Border" became famous in one battle.

"Have you heard about the news of Snow Country Border?"

Black Swan nodded and said:

"Isn't this normal? The Empire and the Church are too far away from the common people."

"On the contrary, this kind of cheating props are more likely to attract the attention of ordinary people."

"After all, they can still hope to pick up treasure."

She spoke slowly and suddenly realized that Louis was looking straight at her.

"Dear, you are still picking up treasures. Do you know what the auction price is at the border of the Snow Country? What is the final transaction price?"

"Don't even think about picking up a treasure. A smaller guild would go bankrupt if they bought it."

"Not to mention this thing, it's completely useless if someone else takes it."

The Black Swan was stunned for a moment.

She didn't know these things, but she could guess why: "No? Is that Lady Xilin familiar with us? Did she hand over the control of the miracle to the Empire?"

Louis smiled:

"Yes, not only did she hand it in, she also emphasized that only direct royal bloodlines could use it, and even added a password."

The Black Swan was speechless.

Her memory comes from Little Swan. Apparently, now, the real owner doesn't know the relationship between Xilin and the royal family.

Louis told Black Swan about what had happened to him recently.

Including what the Church of the God of Love had done specifically, the major event that happened a hundred years ago, and even his communication with the Mad King.

There is nothing to hide about this.

He told Beatrice before going to bed.

The past between Xilin and Rudelson also made her sigh.

As expected, Little Swan will know the details later.

The little swan knew it, and the black swan naturally knew it too.

So it’s better to say it in advance.

Black Swan pondered for a moment and said:

"Something is wrong."

Louis said, "It's really not right, especially what happened on the grassland."

He was talking about the Giant Plains where the troll tribes lived.

Black Swan said calmly, "I have seen Fury in my previous life. He has always consciously maintained his calm and tried his best to limit the conflict between the tribe and Tunisia to a level that would not get out of control."

"But in this life, he rose too early and made too much noise."

The Black Swan frowned and said:

“It’s almost like he was reborn too.”

Louis smiled and said:

"That's impossible. Rage doesn't have that power."

The Black Swan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised his head to look at him.

Seeing that Louis showed no reaction, she lowered her head again: "What did he guess?"

Louis didn't know what Black Swan was thinking, but he knew that Sin and Fury did not have that kind of power.

Firstly, he was furious and was killed by himself more than once in the future diary.

Secondly, this is not the first time that Louis has used his ability of rage, and his future self has a clear record of the great sin of rage.

It's greed...

Haha, the abilities of every black swan on the future IF line are hidden very carefully.

But she still showed some of her bottom.

The reason why he noticed the abnormality was not because the Black Swan was careless, but because Louis had eaten the Black Swan and knew her "taste".

"Your great sin, laziness, is quite interesting."

The Black Swan looked at him in amazement, and finally sighed:

"You noticed it the last time you ate me."

Louis nodded:

“Don’t forget who’s standing in front of you.”

Professionals who have mastered the ninth-level Steel Soul Martial Art [Time Stop] are naturally more sensitive to time anomalies.

It would be strange that he, who has mastered the Eternal Blade's level 10 martial art [Island of Time], did not notice any problems after using the power of the Black Swan himself.

In addition, he knew that one of the skills of the great sin of laziness was called [Time Body of Laziness].

Little Swan has a passive skill [Lazy Lag] that can extend the spell duration and inject more magic power to increase damage.

All of this shows that the authority of the great sin of laziness is closely related to time.

This is the reason why the little swan and the black swan can be reborn and restore their memories.
