Under what circumstances is a lie most likely to be believed?

Of course, that is when the liar himself firmly believes that it is the truth! This is also the trap that Lynn carefully set up for the cardinal, and the core performer is naturally Cody!

More than two months ago, when he killed the real William and cleaned up the enemy forces, he faced a choice - as William's trusted subordinate who knew some of the intelligence about the Wizarding Land, should Cody be cleaned up together?

Neither Dollar, Murt nor Lord dared to make a decision on their own. After all, Cody had been to Yieta Harbor and had long contact with that adult, so the issue was pushed back to Lynn.

After a brief consideration, Lynn finally chose to spare Cody's life. This was not because of any consideration, but because the other party was unaware of the existence of William's substitute, Doral.

When Lynn heard the news, he was also extremely surprised. After all, Cody was William's trusted subordinate, and he was in charge of shipping between the two places, which showed how much he trusted him.

But Lynn soon realized that the reason why William wanted to create a substitute was not only to guard against the church, but also to guard against Hellram.

In case the great wizard comes up with the idea of ​​finding someone to replace himself one day, Cody, who has direct contact with the wizards, would be the person who is least likely to know about the existence of the substitute.

In view of this, he kept Cody, and now is the time to use him.

The other party is William's confidant, so it makes sense for him to go to the church to contact Anluik. He also has the reasons why William rebelled in his mind, so everything is natural.

Therefore, the more he explored the memory, the more Anluik would trust Cody's words. After all, smart people are often more willing to believe everything they have investigated.

After Lynn's explanation, Dollar finally realized that he had become the one being played. The order he had received before was only to send Cody to the church to discuss the contact matters with Anluik.

Unexpectedly, the memory in Cody's mind was the real bait...

"I don't mean to distrust you, Dolar, it's just that sometimes acting is not as believable as real reactions." Lin En said with a smile.

"But Lord Lin, isn't this too risky? Cody's memory contains a lot of information about the wizard land, even the airship is exposed..." Murt asked hesitantly.

After becoming a wizard, Murt realized that he had no way out, so he naturally stood on the side of his "compatriots" wholeheartedly.

In his opinion, Cody was too unstable and knew too much information. They could just find another guy who knew less information and deliberately tell him the false news they wanted to convey.

"No, that's too deliberate. There's no one more suitable than him..." Lynn shook his head, rejecting Murt's words.

Cody knew a lot, and some of the information was very important, but most of it was information that the Holy See had already known, such as the changes in the Sea of ​​Mist and the riots in the Land of Wizards...

After all, if the intelligence William has highly overlaps with that of the church, then he has no value! The second factor is that they no longer have time to wait, and they must take some risks! Now it has been several days since Duke Rickman's defeat. Lynn has been looking forward to the kingdom and the church organizing a large army to attack the earldom again, waiting for the moment when the cardinal will lead his men to leave the church! When Redel attacked the church in the earldom, Lynn found that those clergymen would become more difficult to deal with in the church than in the outside world, and this church in the capital is the center of faith for the entire kingdom. Who knows what kind of strange things will be inside.

Even if the statue suddenly resurrected and took action personally, he would not be surprised at all.

But things did not turn out as he expected. Neither King Bazel nor the church took any action. This made Lin En somewhat uneasy. These people were probably waiting for reinforcements from the empire, which meant that they had to fight quickly and decisively.

Of course it would be great if I could choose the battlefield myself.

"Lord Lin, what should we do with Cody now? Should we kill him?" Dollar asked with a frown. According to William's temperament, Cody would most likely be killed directly for leaking such important information.

“No, first punish him severely, then let him make up for his crime by doing meritorious service and continue to be responsible for church affairs.” Lin En hesitated for a long time before speaking.

This is also a move that William might make. It should not arouse suspicion. The information in Cody's brain has been leaked. Sending other trusted subordinates over will only reveal more information. It is better to make use of the waste and let the other party play some value.

…

The day after Cody went to the church, the wind direction in the royal capital took a 180-degree turn.

First, King Basil severely reprimanded the eldest prince Harold at a routine meeting and put him under house arrest. The blame for the defeat of the war was all attributed to Archduke Rickman, who believed that it was the serious mistakes made in the opponent's command that led to such a tragic result.

Later, news came out from the palace that King Bazel intended to hand over the throne to his second son Hattar and would announce the crown prince on a chosen day.

Hattar was naturally very happy about this. He felt his father's love again, and even felt that King Bazel's indifference was to confuse Harold and others, so that he could completely destroy the other party's power in one go! Hattar had a bit of unrealistic thoughts, so when he received a report from his servant that his father had invited him to a banquet in the capital, he began to hesitate whether it was necessary to continue his plan to seize the throne.

After all, seizing the throne by force is a big stain, and this is a measure of last resort.

"I think this proves that your good father is about to take action against you!" Anthony warned with a sneer. "If you really go to the palace, you can't come back!"

The Kingdom of Bazel is not even pretending now, the change is so abrupt, which shows that the other party is very anxious... The action should be taken tomorrow, or even tonight!

Under Anthony's advice, Hattar had no choice but to refuse the servant's invitation, saying that he was seriously ill and could not go to the capital to meet the king...
