After concealing the matter of the Origin Crystal, Han Shuo narrated his and Tiana's encounter in Tarrag Canyon. He didn't even conceal the matter of the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light in Oden Empire.
As Candide listened to Han Shuo's recount of the events, his face was gloomy and his brows were deeply furrowed.
"Lord Candide, do you know anything about the true experts of Profound Continent and those Soul Race clansmen?" The reason why Han Shuo revealed everything was because he wanted to ask Candide if he knew of their existence.
"Tiana is the protector of Kasi Empire. In Kasi Empire, Tiana is a god-like existence. She and our Lancelot Empire's dark divine magus, Ayermike Cotton, are characters from the same era. I really did not expect that she is still alive!" Candide exclaimed.
A character from the same era as Ayermike Cotton! Han Shuo was gobsmacked.
Ayermike Cotton was the most famous character in the history of Lancelot Empire. It was because of Ayermike Cotton's existence that Lancelot Empire could be established and possessed the great power and influence it had today.
However, Ayermike Cotton, the dark divine magus, was a character from five hundred years ago! Now that he heard Candide's words, Han Shuo finally understood how long Tiana had lived. No wonder even the old monster Statholme, an antique who had lived through two dynasties, had to address her as elder sister Tiana!
"Apart from Tiana, about the Church of Light and those Soul Race clansmen, does Your Lordship know of their origins?" Han Shuo looked at Candide in a daze and asked.
"I have learned some information from ancient records about the divine knight and light divine magus of the Church of Light. Both of them were famous tyrannical existences of the Church of Light a hundred years ago. Everyone thought that they had died of old age. Who would have thought that they were still alive to this day.
As for the Saintess of the Church of Light and the Soul Race of Tarrag Canyon, I've never heard of them. If you hadn't told me this information, I'm afraid that I would never have known that such characters existed on Profound Continent. Sigh, these people are simply beyond my imagination, "Candide couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he explained to Han Shuo.
Candide's knowledge was limited, but the fact that Tiana was the protector of Kasi Empire still allowed Han Shuo to understand her origins.
"Brian, you're saying that you already possess the same strength as Statholme, Tiana, and the others?" After a while, Candide looked at Han Shuo in a daze and suddenly asked.
Just now, Han Shuo said that he had fought alongside the old demon Statholme, and did not conceal the matter of the Soul Race. Candide naturally understood a fact – Han Shuo and Statholme were characters of the same level!
There was nothing to conceal about this. Han Shuo nodded and calmly admitted, "I believe that I possess that so-called demigod strength!"
"Unimaginable, too unimaginable!" Candide was somewhat incoherent as he muttered, "Madam Grace's astrology is indeed miraculous. No wonder it's said that you can bring a new future to Lancelot Empire. With an existence like you staying in Lancelot Empire, any nation will become stronger."
"I don't know if it's stronger or not, but Statholme won't appear in the seven grand duchies for the time being. The Brut Merchant Alliance has just lost the sacred magus of lightning, Reynold, and the Tanai magical beast of Tarrag Canyon is roaming about everywhere disturbing the people. There's also a group of Soul Race clansmen of unknown origin. I reckon that he won't have the time to deal with other matters for the time being.
This is the best time for us to dispatch troops to the seven grand duchies. Whether or not Lancelot Empire can swallow up the seven grand duchies will depend on this! "Han Shuo said to Candide, brimming with ambition.
"Brian, go see His Majesty. I believe that His Majesty will definitely support you with all his might!" After hearing Han Shuo's description, Candide immediately urged Han Shuo. It seemed that he was also somewhat impatient.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo confirmed the identity of the Fourth Dark Sun Envoy from Candide. Without notifying Emily, he directly went to the imperial palace through the transportation matrix used by the highest ranking members of the Dark Mantle headquarters.
"Brian, you brat, you've disappeared for three years. You've finally reappeared!" Hearing that Han Shuo was seeking an audience, Lawrence, who was already the king of Lancelot Empire, personally came to greet Han Shuo. He immediately laughed heartily when he saw Han Shuo.
Compared to three years ago, Lawrence had more of the majesty of a king who held the life and death of others. He had also become more mature and experienced. His originally clean lips were purposefully trimmed with a beard, and his eyes constantly sparkled with the radiance of wisdom.
"Your Majesty, long time no see!" Han Shuo came forward with a faint smile. He waited until he reached Lawrence's side before saying, "Your Majesty, let's talk in private!"
"Everyone, withdraw!" Lawrence waved his hand for all the guards to withdraw. He then pulled Han Shuo back into the great hall, chuckling as he said, "When there are no outsiders, we are still good friends. Hehe, why did you suddenly think of coming to see me this time?"
"I've come this time to give you a great gift!" Han Shuo said with a smile.
"Oh? What kind of gift? "Lawrence asked with interest.
"The seven grand duchies!" Han Shuo lightly shouted.
Lawrence's body trembled, his eyes bursting with a cold light that normal people wouldn't dare look directly at. He said to Han Shuo with some excitement, "Brian, are you confident?"
Nodding his head, Han Shuo recounted the conversation he'd had with Candide earlier to Lawrence.
When Han Shuo finished, Lawrence's entire body trembled, and he tightly grasped Han Shuo's hands. He looked at Han Shuo with fiery eyes and asked incredulously, "Bu … Brian, you're saying … you're saying that you already possess the strength of a demigod?"
"That's right!" Han Shuo said affirmatively.
"Good! Good! Good! " Lawrence threw his head back and laughed maniacally. After saying 'good' three times, he laughed heartily and said, "After our ancestor Ayermike Cotton, our Lancelot Empire finally has another demigod expert. Haha, from today onwards, who would dare to ignore the existence of our Lancelot Empire's experts!"
"Don't be too happy too early. I've just said that demigod existences aren't the strongest experts on the continent. Besides, I'm not the only demigod existence. Kasi Empire's Tiana is one as well. As the headquarters of the Church of Light, Oden Empire has more than one demigod existence!" Han Shuo hastily poured cold water on Lawrence when he saw that he was so excited that he was about to go crazy. He was afraid that Lawrence would become too reliant on him.
"I know, I know!" Lawrence's voice was high as he excitedly said, "Of course I know. But with you in Lancelot Empire, I'm more confident. I've long had the intention of conquering the Brut Merchant Alliance and Kasi Empire, but I've always put it on hold due to various misgivings. But now, our Lancelot Empire can really go all out!"
"Alright, I think you're not someone without a sense of propriety! Hmm, let's start with the seven grand duchies. Among the seven grand duchies, the Helon Duchy and the Boulet Duchy have already secretly contacted me. As long as we act discreetly this time, without the old monster Statholme coming out to stir things up, taking down the seven grand duchies in one fell swoop is in the bag, "Han Shuo said in a deep voice.
"Alright, I'll give you my full support, whether it's military force or material resources. Tell me, what do you need? I'll use the strength of the entire empire to help you! "Lawrence was extremely straightforward. It seemed that he was determined to keep Han Shuo firmly under control.
"To be honest, mobilizing troops for war isn't my strong suit." Han Shuo replied with a wry smile. He thought for a moment before continuing, "As for how to attack the seven grand duchies, I'll leave it to you all to discuss. Hmm, but it'd be best if the commander in chief for this matter is Dorcas. That fellow has been roaming around the seven grand duchies for the past few years and is extremely familiar with the circumstances of the seven grand duchies. In addition, he's extremely adept at commanding troops. I believe it's most appropriate for him to be the commander in chief!"
"No problem, I'll make arrangements for this matter! Don't worry, without Statholme's obstruction this time, the seven grand duchies will definitely find it hard to resist the iron hooves of our Lancelot Empire! "Lawrence said to Han Shuo, brimming with confidence.
"Alright, I've said all that needs to be said. I think you also need some time to prepare, so I'll be leaving first! Ha, this time I haven't had the time to see my women. If I don't find them immediately, I reckon they'll complain about me again! "Han Shuo said to Lawrence with a smile.
Knowingly winking at Han Shuo, Lawrence said with an understanding smile, "I understand. Hehe, go repay your debt of gentleness! Oh, that's right, your mansion has been renovated and all the servants are still there. Phoebe, Fanny, and the others will also stay there for a few days from time to time. Don't forget that you still have a home in Ossen City! "
Last time, during the chaos in Ossen City, the mansions of many great nobles had been turned into ashes in a single night. Han Shuo's Count mansion had also suffered heavy damage. Originally, Han Shuo had thought that the mansion was completely destroyed. However, it seemed that Lawrence really valued Han Shuo and had actually helped him renovate it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Shuo replied. He didn't say anything else and left the palace.
"A demigod expert! Madam Grace is truly an admirable astrologer. Brian, Brian, you really are my lucky star! "Lawrence muttered ruefully after Han Shuo left.
