After Cody left, North couldn't help but ask, William also had a share of the blame for the tragedy of tens of thousands of deaths outside the Earl of Joyce's territory! "We have more important things to do now, Bishop North. As for the crimes committed by William, it won't be too late to settle them after executing those wizards..." Anluk replied casually.

The other priests in the church were discussing the information they had just heard.

The amount of information revealed in Cody's words was too great. No one had expected that this miners' riot would involve the wizard land - the base camp of those evil god believers.

If they could successfully capture this group of people, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement, but it also meant that the situation was completely out of their control.

Especially after hearing that the opponents might be the two great wizards, many people suggested reporting it immediately and requesting assistance from the Empire and the Church.

However, Anluik shook his head, because it was too late.

He saw from Cody's memory that the second prince Hattar was preparing to implement his plan to seize the throne in the next two days, and he had even won over a large number of nobles in the royal capital.

If the other party succeeds, the empire will probably face a civil war!

This is undoubtedly what the group of wizards want to see most. In that way, the attention of the Holy See will be diverted from the Sea of ​​Misty Sea, and it will be forced to focus on quelling the rebellion.

However, facing the two great wizards, Anluk did not dare to say that he was completely sure of defeating them.

Now we have no choice but to use the holy vessels of faith stored in the church!

…

On the other side, Cody walked out of the church and took a carriage straight back to William's castle. Under the leadership of Murt, he went to the underground of the castle, feeling very nervous.

Originally, the task William assigned to him was just to reveal a little information about wizards, gain initial mutual trust, and then see the reaction of the cardinal to decide whether to reveal more information.

Now, he has established a certain degree of "trust" with the Cardinal, but he has also leaked a lot of information that should not have been leaked.

Especially the information that Sir William has been helping wizards transport supplies for decades...

Cody could already imagine what kind of punishment he would receive.

Although he was forced to say this under the power of divine magic, Sir William would not care about it given his personality. The mission can only be completed or failed...

Cody shuddered at the thought.

In fact, he did not really support Lord William's hostility towards wizards.

After inviting Lord to the manor for negotiations, they reached a new cooperation agreement. The wizards were even willing to make concessions and compromise, changing the profit split to 50-50.

But in the eyes of Sir William, this became a symbol of the wizards' weakness and inability to fight against the church. Instead, he chose to stand more firmly on the side of Prince Harold and the church! Unfortunately, the disastrous defeat in the southern conquest of the kingdom showed that the wizards were probably not as weak as Sir William imagined.

"Murter, where are Griphook and the others? I haven't seen them in the manor recently." Cody suddenly thought of this on the way to the basement of the castle, and asked curiously.

"I'd like to swap our jobs!" Cody said with a wry smile. The cardinal could only be described as terrifying. In front of him, it seemed as if everything about him was transparent...

Cody did not have any doubts about Murt's explanation. You know, after the death of Rickman and others, William became the number one supporter of the current Crown Prince Harold. He had a lot of messes to deal with and had to monitor those dangerous wizards. It seems that their work is no easier than his.

The two quickly passed through the heavy defenses, reached the interior of the bunker, and met William sitting on the Iron Throne.

Cody knelt down without hesitation, not daring to hide anything, and told everything that happened in the church.

As expected, William's face turned very ugly, and the anger and fear in his eyes almost burst out.

"Is this what you promised me is foolproof?" William's tone was extremely cold, like a knife blade. His overweight body trembled. He stood up from his seat like a towering mountain, his eyes like lightning.

Cody lowered his head against the floor, his body trembling and he didn't dare to answer. Soon he heard a dull sound in his ears, which was the sound of a glass being crushed.

Just when Cody thought his life was about to be lost, William suddenly suppressed his anger and said coldly.

"Take the man away first."

Several servants immediately stepped forward and dragged Cody out, and soon Murt was the only one left in the room.

At this moment, William... no, it should be said that William's stand-in, Dolar, changed his previous ferocious appearance and knelt on the ground, and Murt beside him was no exception.

Lord's figure soon walked out from behind the curtain, but it was obvious that the two men were not worshipping him, but the figure that appeared out of thin air in the secret room.

"Lord Lin En..." Dolar dragged his fat body, looking anxious to explain, but Lin En spoke first, praising him.

"Well, you did a great job this time, Doral!"

Dolar was totally confused and couldn't figure it out for a while. You know, Cody had leaked a lot of information about the wizarding land this time, and Lord Lin En actually praised him in return.

Murt's face showed a thoughtful look.

Loud looked at the confused Dolar and sneered. "Fool, you don't think that Lord Lin wants to deceive a cardinal who masters divine arts with lies, do you?"

Since you want to lure people into the trap, the bait must be real enough! As a psychic, Lin En knows how to detect and modify memories, so how could he not be on guard against this?

Since divine arts and magic have the same origin, they may have similar methods. Facing a cardinal, or in front of the statue of the church, any lie, even the modification of memory, may make the other party discover the clues! So Lin En's way of dealing with it is also very simple, that is, just tell the truth! As long as you don't lie, it will naturally not be detected!

The method is not complicated. Just continue William's previous plan and retain a suitable confidant who knows part of the truth, and go to the Vatican to explain to Anluik the part of the facts he knows!
