The southern suburbs of Platinum City.

The underground chamber of St Glendan's Abbey.

The Golden-robed High Priest Eilerson stood in front of the small statue in the secret room and said to the invited participants:

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, this is the tomb of St. Glendan, a sacred place blessed by Mother Nature."

"Gentlemen, you may speak freely here. Apart from you, the news will not be heard by more mortals."

The secret room is not big, 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, with 18 long stone benches, each with one or two people sitting on it.

All of these people were wearing thick hooded cloaks and masks under the cloaks.

Both cloaks and masks are magical items that conceal their true identities.

Of course, such cover could not conceal Rosen's investigation.

Therefore, he clearly saw that the more than 50 people attending the meeting were all prominent nobles in Platinum City.

It can be said that most of the big shots in Platinum City whose words are trustworthy are here.

This was due to the connections of the High Priest of the Golden Robe, and also because the little king's actions were truly unpopular and had greatly infringed upon the interests of the kingdom's nobles.

A more important reason is that if the eldest princess who has taken refuge in Weilan is welcomed back to the kingdom to serve as queen, the power of the royal family will be greatly weakened, and the nobles will usher in truly good days.

As for the Duke of Weilan behind the queen? The Duke of Weilan is indeed very powerful and has a high reputation, but he is far away in Weilan. He has a lot of things to do in Weilan, so how can he have the energy to care about Levender's affairs? After various considerations, the nobles gave Eilerson this face and borrowed the secret room of the monastery to hold a secret meeting to change the king.

At this moment, Eilerson's identity is not the chief priest, but a political broker, and he also serves as the conference host.

He said: "Mother Nature has sent down a clear oracle confirming that there is no true king in the palace."

Immediately, some nobles raised questions.

"But everyone in the royal family has confirmed that Lars (the little king's name) is of royal blood. Why can't he be the real king?"

Eilerson had already thought of an explanation: "It's simple, because the royal family was coerced. The coercer possessed extremely powerful magic and despicable means."

This reason is sufficient. The methods of the Frost Messenger Lafeng are indeed mysterious and powerful, which makes people feel afraid.

But soon someone spoke up again.

"Then the princess may also be coerced by Duke Weilan. After all, this is our internal affairs of Levender and Duke Weilan should not interfere."

Eilerson shouted back.

"Veylan is far enough away from Levender, gentlemen!"

"Even if the Duke wants to intervene, he can't intervene much."

"Levinder is still our Levinder after all. Everyone present here knows this very well. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to this meeting!"

Eilerson looked around at everyone and said, "We all know that Lars is not a qualified king. He is too young, too willful, and his shoulders are too slippery."

"The current international situation is very serious. The world has reached a very critical juncture. We cannot spend too much time and energy on playing games with children."

"Even if he is indeed of the royal bloodline of Sheela, he is not worthy of being king. The eldest princess, who has a good relationship with Weilan and possesses fourth-ring magic power, is the obvious best choice."

"As we all know, Weilan is about to rise, and Duke Weilan is a highly respected eighth-ring mage. Maintaining a good relationship with Weilan will greatly benefit the development of our Levender."

What he said was indeed correct, and it also expressed the secret thoughts of the nobles.

But after all, it is a big matter of changing the king. If it succeeds, it will be good. If it fails, everyone present will be sent to the guillotine.

The risk is very high. If there is a traitor or a traitor present, everyone may be doomed.

Therefore, before starting work, we must deeply unify our thoughts.

Someone said, "Lafengge is not a simple person. I heard some secret news that he used some very evil means to break through his magic power to a very terrifying level."

"His spells can easily take our lives."

Eilerson immediately said: "Lafengge is indeed very evil and very powerful, but Mother Nature will protect us!"

As he said this, the golden-robed high priest's face showed great piety.

But his piety was immediately met with a low laugh.

"Eilerson, the Deist Church is just a way to deceive the ignorant civilians. You and I both know that there is no real God in the world."

"Yes, I ran into you at the Moonlight Bathing Beach last month. When you were holding the girl and fighting, you told me that she was really awesome."

"Yes, yes, this seems to violate church rules, right? Haha?"

"Ellerson, either you come up with a real way to deal with Lafengge, or there is no need to continue now."

Eilerson took a deep breath and said, "I have sincerely atoned for my sins to God. Time will prove my words."

He is already old, and although it is refreshing to have fun with girls, when you think about it carefully, it is just like that.

Compared with the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment of receiving divine revelation and being rewarded with divine power, the former is simply insignificant.

Of course, he also knew that these words alone could not explain the group of nobles in front of him who had no faith and only cared about interests.

Fortunately, he was well prepared: "In Moonlight Town, there is a group of powerful warriors, exorcists from the Glorious Empire."

"Because Lafenge attracted the terrible evil demon, of course, he also attracted the attention of the Glorious Queen."

"I know that the warriors of the Glorious Empire should not appear in Levender, but in extraordinary times, we have to resort to extraordinary measures."

"What we have to do is to release these warriors into Platinum City at the right time, let them rush into the palace, and kill Lafengge!"

"Believe me, this group of exorcists of the Glorious Empire is very powerful. There are 70 fourth-ring magic masters alone, and there is also a powerful seventh-ring magician leading them."

"As long as we can cooperate, they will definitely be able to kill Lafengge!"

After he finished speaking, the nobles fell silent.

After a while, someone nodded: "Now it sounds a little more reliable."

"Ellerson, you just said that Lafenge has provoked the real evil? What does that mean?"

Ellerson actually didn't know much about it. He knew about this from God's revelation, but he only knew a little bit and didn't know the details.

But it didn't matter, because he could make up the details on the spot, and it was impossible for these nobles to rush into the palace to verify it anyway.

"They are a group of evil demons that devour mana and disturb the minds of mortals. It is precisely because of the disturbance of the evil demons that the royal family of Xila speaks nonsense for the bastard king."

"Eilerson, how did you know these things? Did God tell you?"

Some people's voices were full of sarcasm, and they didn't believe the words of the golden-robed high priest at all.

Ellerson also felt very guilty because he made it up.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, which was the appreciation from God.

Immediately afterwards, a faint golden light emerged from the void above his head, then slowly flowed down, enveloping Ellerson entirely.

At the same time, a magnificent will emerged in this underground secret room.

Every noble present felt this clearly.

More than half of the nobles present were mages, and had basic knowledge of magic.

As great nobles, they also had knowledge far beyond that of ordinary people, so they immediately discovered the extraordinaryness of the golden light.

In other words, this was not directed or performed by Eilerson himself.

This will that appeared out of nowhere was indeed extremely grand, like a towering mountain lying in everyone's heart.

Enshrouded in golden light, Eilerson’s voice was heard, and his originally slightly hoarse voice unexpectedly became sacred and solemn.

"My fellow mortals, you may possess great power and wealth in the mortal realm, but in the realm of the soul, you are either dwarfs or clowns!"

"Mother Nature has always been paying attention to the changes in the mortal world. She has remained silent because we are all her people."

"She is tolerant, kind, far-sighted, and tolerates a little disrespect from her people."

"But now, the worst blasphemy has occurred. This evil must be cleansed!"

The nobles immediately began to talk, and everyone's voice was filled with shock.

In their impression, Mother Nature rarely responds to mortals' prayers and rarely performs miracles. Her interference in the earthly world gradually decreases, even to the point where it can be almost ignored.

Many of the new generation of nobles who have grown up subconsciously believe that Mother Nature is dispensable.

But now, an incomprehensible miracle is right before our eyes! Someone timidly shouted, "Ellerson, I admit that your method is very clever, but stop playing tricks."

Eilerson looked over and said, "Master Fowler, your cloak and mask are very clever and can easily deceive many people's eyes, but this cannot deceive God."

The person who shouted visibly trembled, and it was obvious that Eilerson was right.

Someone else shouted, "You guessed it by luck. No one can figure out the good things passed down in my family. Who do you think I am?"

"You are Lord Nobundo."

"Uh~"

Apparently, he hit the mark again.

Someone immediately asked, "Since God is omnipotent, then I would like to ask you, God's spokesman, how many children do I have?"

Ellerson felt guilty about this question because he really didn't know, but soon he got the answer.

"You don't have any children."

"Bullshit, I have five children!"

Ellerson was not a loser either, he had a sharp mind and immediately sneered back.

"Go back and check carefully, Count Bamut. Your children don't look like you at first glance."

This remark immediately caused a low laugh. Apparently, speculation about Count Bamut's son had already been around.

Count Bamut immediately found it hard to accept: "Impossible! At least one or two must be mine! I'm very sure!"

Eilerson shrugged. "It's no use telling me. You should go ask your women."

"But I guess you are infertile, but your women want to inherit your property, so you used some clever methods."

“Shut up!”

Eilerson sighed and returned to the topic.

"Gentlemen of Levender, remember that God is always with us and is silently watching over us."

"You, and even me once, have forgotten God and put Him behind you, but now, when true evil appears in Levender, God stands up to protect us."

"It is an honor for us mortals."

"Let us have a serious prayer ceremony."

After saying this, Eilerson clasped his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head and began to recite a prayer.

At the beginning, he was the only one reciting, and the noble gentlemen looked at each other, feeling at a loss as to what to do.

They had not held a serious prayer for a long time, and it was even more strange to pray in this secret meeting that decided their future fate.

But gradually, some people began to recite along with Eilerson.

Once it starts, a warm and peaceful force will immediately infuse into their hearts.

This power can calm a painful heart, make a confused heart firm, make a jealous heart calm, and make an angry heart relieved.

More and more people joined in the prayer, and finally, everyone was praying.

The prayer ceremony lasted about ten minutes.

When the prayer ceremony ended, everyone still stood there quietly, enjoying the comfort and pleasure of peace of mind.

After a long time, a noble finally moved.

He took off the mask that covered his face and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“God is with us indeed.”

The second man took off his cloak and said, "In that case, let's do what God wants us to do. It's never wrong to walk with God."

It's Lord Nobundo.

The others also revealed their true identities.

Someone suggested: "We just covered our faces in front of God, which is a great disrespect to God. Let's pray again with our true identities?"

Someone immediately chimed in: "Ellerson, do it again."

Eilerson led the prayer again.

This time, the nobles' prayers seemed focused and pious.

Not far away is the Finit Gardens.

The Scarlet Assassins have surrendered and are currently rehearsing a new battle plan with the Imperial Shadow Guards in the large courtyard of the garden.

Rosen was watching from the side, sensing the situation in the underground chamber at the same time, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Since there are demons in this world that can deceive people, it seems only natural that there would be gods who can protect people's hearts."

The approach of the Republic of Nahuat is good and admirable, and it embodies the courage of mortals, but it does not seem to be suitable for the Natural Alliance.

The Church of the Natural Alliance has existed for thousands of years, and natural gods occupy an extremely important and indispensable position in its culture.

Now, asking people to abandon natural gods and become saviors themselves is equivalent to asking them to deny their own history.

It's not that this cannot be done, but it will definitely not be suitable for the local environment, and will require Rosen to expend a great deal of extra effort, and there will definitely be a lot of unpredictable chaos.

But starting with the natural church, using God to protect people's hearts, and using God to achieve a united front can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, this method also has a problem, that is, there is no eternal true God in the world.

"I am also a mortal. After I live a carefree life, I will eventually die. If I die, the true God will be gone. Then the people of this world will be miserable."

"What shall we do?"

Rosen looked at the power of faith coming from the underground secret room and fell into deep thought.
