Colin Lin suddenly thought of something. Could this Archbishop Ajani be related to the royal family?
Thus, he seemingly inadvertently raised his hands to his chest, palms facing inwards, his fingers intertwined, forming a lotus-like handprint.
Then, he carefully observed Ajani's reaction.
However, Colin was disappointed.
After seeing this handprint, Ajani only looked puzzled and did not show any other expression.
This handprint was shown to Colin by Queen Mydella after her "alliance" with him. She even said that anyone who saw this handprint could be trusted.
But obviously, Ajani was not an ally of the Royal Family.
Colin immediately withdrew his handprint and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He smiled and said, "I think you should go to the Royal Family. They are more interested in the Pope's dark secrets."
Ajani shook her head and said, "Sir Viscounts, you are wrong. The Royal Family is well aware of the Church's depravity, and is also willing to fight against the Church. However, they will never agree to this truth being made public.
If I go to them, I will only end up like the Dark Emperor. "
"Sorry, Archbishop, I do not want to end up like the Dark Emperor." Colin shrugged and rejected, "With just the two of us, even if this truth is made public, we will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Church and the Holy Knight Family. We will also be slandered as lunatics and blasphemers. No one will believe our words."
"Sir Viscounts, I am not a stupid person. Before I have enough power, of course I will not make this truth public.
The reason why I chose you as my partner is because you are not a member of the Holy Knight Family, but you have the potential to dominate a territory! "
"Sir Archbishop, you think too highly of me." Colin's expression was still indifferent.
"No." Ajani's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance, and her tone carried a hint of bewitchment, "You are now the Guardian of the Northern Frontier, and I know that the half-elven kingdom is also under your control. In the future, even if you lead your troops to the East and defeat the Pegasus Army, it is not impossible for you to enter the White Dew City.
However, have you thought of a problem?
Even if one day you really conquer the Eastern Region, can the Angele family become a Duke? "
Colin's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to understand what Akani wanted to say.
"Your Excellency Viscounts, the position of Duke has never been granted to anyone who isn't a Holy Knight! No matter what kind of dazzling achievements he had made in the past!
I know your talent is amazing, and you're already a fifth-grade knight at such a young age, but do you think you can become a holy knight? "
Colin did not answer.
However, he felt that if he could drink the blood of a Holy Knight, he might be able to step into the Sanctuary-realm.
"It's not that I want to put you down, but in the Empire's thousand-plus years of history, there has never been anyone who isn't from a Holy Knight Family who has stepped foot into the Saint Domain!
I don't know what kind of secrets there are.
However, I feel that no matter how talented you are, I'm afraid you won't be able to break through this shackle.
So, even if you become a sixth-grade knight, what's the difference between you and the sixth-grade warrior Lucien?
He's attached to Count Schultz, and you can't leave the House of Saint Hilde either!
Even if you conquer the Eastern Region one day, the Angele family will never become the Lord of the Eastern Region! "
Colin narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say?"
Akani walked a few steps closer and stared into Colin's eyes. She said seriously, "You've been asking me why I chose you as my partner, haven't you?
This is the real reason.
Because you're not from a Holy Knight Family!
The only people who don't want to see this belief system, which is based on deception, collapse is actually the Church and the Holy Knight Family.
That's why they worked together to hide the truth, to prevent a crisis of faith from happening.
However, as a descendant of a Holy Knight Family, Viscount Angley, even if a crisis of faith happens, and the belief system of the Church of Light collapses, is it really a bad thing for you?
Without the power of faith, there would be no priests.
Without priests, there would be no new knights, and naturally, there would be no more Holy Knights!
Without Holy Knights, how can the Royal Family and the Four Great Families stand at the top of the Empire?
Why can't the Angele family become a Duke? Even … "
Akani suddenly stopped talking, but Colin completely understood what she meant.
At the same time, he saw the true face hidden under Akani's pious appearance.
That face was filled with something called ambition!
Moreover, he was also frightened by Akani's madness.
This woman looked holy, quiet, and compassionate, but in reality, she was a crazy ambitious woman who wanted nothing more than to throw the world into chaos!
Seeing Colin's silence, Akani thought he was moved, but still couldn't make up his mind. She opened her mouth again to tempt him.
"Your Excellency Viscounts, now that the Royal Family and the Church are at war, it's our best chance!
During this trip to Imperial Dragon City, I'm sure Emperor Reinhardt must have encouraged you to march into the Eastern Region?
To tell you the truth, His Holiness the Pope has told me many times to stop the Army of the North from successfully taking down White Dew City.
However, if you cooperate with me, I can help you block all the pressure from the Church, and promise you a stable rear. This way, you can also march into the Eastern Region without any distractions.
As long as we conquer the Eastern Region, we will have two territories in our hands, and have the capital to not fear the Church and the Royal Family! "
Colin sneered and said, "Your Excellency Archbishop, have you forgotten that the Empire still has two Holy Knights? Will they sit and watch us shake the foundation of the entire knight system? "
Akani said confidently, "Your Excellency Viscounts, have you forgotten that the Eastern Region also has a force that can resist the Holy Knights?"
"Yevel?" Colin's face changed, and he suddenly realized something, and immediately said, "So you are with Mr. Yevel!"
Akani suddenly smiled, her beautiful face was like a peach blossom in full bloom.
"Your Excellency Viscounts, do you have confidence in our plan now?"
Obviously, Akani had tacitly agreed with Colin's guess.
Colin lowered his head, various thoughts running through his mind.
He did not expect that the haunting Mr. Yevel had already quietly extended his hand into the Church, and had even bribed a high ranking person like the Archbishop of the Northern Frontier.
No wonder he dared to kidnap the Archbishop of Swan City, and even brazenly kill him, and was not afraid of the Church's revenge.
Akani would definitely cover for him, and help him get through the weakest period.
And now, they had actually set their sights on Colin, and wanted to rope in the actual controller of the Northern Frontier.
It had to be said that Colin was somewhat moved.
He suddenly realized that this was indeed a good opportunity.
Originally, Colin was caught between the Royal Family and the Church. Both sides were trying to rope him in, but both wanted him to be a sharp sword in their hands. Now that a third party was added to the mix, Colin's options were greater. The space for him to maneuver and maneuver was also wider.
At the very least, if Akani and Colin reached a secret agreement, he would not have to worry about the Church causing trouble on the Northern Frontier when he was advancing into the Eastern Region, and dragging him down.
Of course, Colin was still very wary of Mr. Ji and Ajani. The two of them were not good people. They had taken a fancy to Colin only because they wanted him to be their tool.
"May I ask if I can meet Mr. Yevel?" Colin probed.
Akani was somewhat hesitant, but still nodded, "I will convey your intentions to Mr. Yevel, but you must know that Prince Lacy is currently at the Northern Frontier, and is pursuing him relentlessly. It is not convenient for Mr. Yevel to show himself, so I may not be able to arrange a meeting with you in the near future."
"I understand." Colin smiled faintly, but did not say much.
He knew that he had not really gained the other party's trust.
"By the way, can you help to remove the Divine Spell that Vera is under?"
Akani shook her head, "I am sorry, Your Excellency Viscounts, that is a Divine Spell cast by the Pope himself, and only he can remove it. But you don't have to worry. With me at the Northern Frontier, the Church will not be a hindrance to you! I will also not use the Duke to cause trouble for you. "
"That's good." Colin nodded. In fact, this was the biggest reason why he was willing to cooperate with Akani.
As for how their relationship would develop in the future, and whether or not they would fall out, that would have to wait until the future.
Colin was confident that by that time, he would have the confidence to confront the other party directly.
"I look forward to working with you!" Akani stretched out her small white hand and smiled.
Colin also shook the other party's hand and smiled brightly.
"I look forward to working with you!"
