Yang Cheng never expected that this world not only contained the other half of the Child of Hades, but also the other half of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword.
It seems there are quite a few legacies of the Pure Source Daoist True Monarch in this world, which is quite an unexpected surprise.
Yang Cheng did not hesitate for long and said directly, "Alright! I agree to Your Majesty's conditions!"
Yang Cheng was determined to get the other half of the three-pointed double-edged sword.
Yang Cheng could have chosen to seize it now, but that would have been too dangerous.
The Edwardian family has worshipped the Spear of Longinus for generations and has even signed a blood pact with it. If they were to take action, who knows what the consequences would be?
Even if Yang Cheng could suppress the other half with his three-pointed double-edged sword, the power of the royal family is not as simple as it appears on the surface, nor is it limited to the strength of just one Spear of Longinus.
Although the royal family doesn't have as many extraordinary individuals as the Church of Light, each one of them, as individuals cultivated and trusted by the royal family, is no ordinary person.
Just like Ulysses, the power of the sharpness in his longsword was truly terrifying.
If he were to actually make a move, Yang Cheng would have a headache dealing with the endless stream of experts emerging from the palace.
Therefore, Yang Cheng would never act rashly without absolute certainty of completely seizing the Spear of Longinus.
After Yang Cheng agreed, he suddenly asked, "But there's something I'm curious about. There are countless powerful figures in the kingdom, so why did Your Majesty choose me?"
And Your Majesty even agreed to trade the divine weapon, the Spear of Longinus, for it. Does Your Majesty trust me so much that you believe I can suppress the Church of Light?
Clough sighed, "Although there are some experts and strong individuals in the kingdom, and quite a few as loyal as Ulysses, they cannot compare with the true high-end combat power of the Holy See."
I know about you, Mr. Yang. The underground kings in the St. Brand Underground City are all quite powerful, but you were able to fight your way through half of the underground city and even forced a god who had descended in his true form to retreat.
His true strength has reached an unimaginable level. Ulysses said that he is definitely no match for you.
And in this case concerning Hohenheim, it was only through your intervention, Mr. Yang, that the artificial god Homunculus was finally defeated.
I can honestly say that besides Mr. Yang, I can't think of anyone else who could accomplish this task.
In fact, you could say that without Mr. Yang, I wouldn't have made this decision.
Yang Cheng suddenly asked, "Then what do you plan to do if I'm not here, Your Majesty?"
Clough paused, seemingly surprised that Yang Cheng would ask such a question.
Ulysses said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for you, Mr. Yang, I would have signed a blood pact with the Spear of Longinus and launched a full-scale attack on the Holy See on charges of treason. I would have killed as many of the Pope and other cardinals as I could, and most importantly, destroyed the sacred object that could summon the angels under the command of the God of Light."
Clough said in a deep voice, "A fight to the death, that was my original plan!"
I can't defeat the Holy See in this lifetime. My son... sigh, who knows what the Holy See will do after he takes the throne.
Therefore, I must completely eliminate the Holy See while I am still alive; otherwise, the Edwardian family's rule over the Assyrian Kingdom may be destroyed in my hands!
Yang Cheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best. However, there is one more thing that I need Your Majesty's help with."
“Mr. Yang, just say the word, and I will use the power of the entire Assyrian kingdom to help you.”
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "I want a place, the legendary lost city of Kabbalah. Even if I can't find the place, I'll find any clues or information related to it."
In addition, to deal with the Holy See, I need some of my own people to help me.
Now, the West District Police Chief, Grace, is selfless and capable. With his help, some of my actions in the open will be much faster.
I think there are probably very few officials or nobles in the entire Saint Brand who would dare to directly confront the Holy See.
Although the Church of Light has been rooted in the Assyrian Kingdom for many years and has not completely suppressed the imperial power, its supreme status has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Apart from royal staunch supporters like Ulysses, no one else dared to provoke the Church of Light.
But Grace certainly would dare, after all, he dared to investigate even the nobles on the royal side, let alone the Holy See.
Neither of these matters was a big deal, and Clough readily agreed.
"Mr. Yang, rest assured, I will transfer Grace to the position of Director of the Central District of St. Brand right away. She will be at your command."
I will also have my men look for information about the city of Kabbalah.
