In the White family's study, the atmosphere was a little dignified.

Colin and Maester Dawn sat opposite each other without speaking.

Only the faint sound of burning candles was heard.

After a long while, Bachelor Dawn broke the awkward silence:

"Lord Viscount, I have no ill will towards the North. Moreover, Duke St. Hilde knew very well that I was sent to the North by the royal family, but he still trusts me."

Colin believed that Maester Dawn was telling the truth.

After all, Maester Dawn did not hide his identity from beginning to end. He was the second son of the White family, and the White family was also the vassal of the San Lorenzo family.

Therefore, when he ran to give allegiance to Duke St. Hilde, with Duke St. Hilde's prudence and ability, he must have already figured out the old man of Bachelor Dawn, otherwise he would not be so important.

"Then why are you going to the North?" Colin asked the doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that the Bachelor of Dawn should work for the monarch of his own family, the San Lorenzo family, rather than go to the north and suffer possible suspicion.

"You may not know that the St. Hilde family and the San Lorenzo family have always been allies in the fight against the church."

"Oh?" Colin's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of the great change in the empire three hundred years ago.

Bachelor of Dwayne continued to explain: "The Duke of St. Hilde died so suddenly that he didn't have time to inform his heir, so even Miss Vera doesn't know about it, but if you ask Marquis Garcia, he will definitely know. give you an affirmative answer."

"What are the main forces in your alliance against the church?"

"The most important thing is actually the two major forces - the Feiyan Territory and the Northern Territory."

Colin was startled, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Are the other three realms all from the church?"

"No." Bachelor Dawn shook his head, "Only the East Territory is a hard-core church force. You must also know that almost every Duke of the East Territory will marry a priest as his wife. They are the most powerful support of the church in the secular world. By.

The South has always remained neutral,

Neither favors the church nor maintains a certain distance from the royal family, and in recent years, the trend of independence has become more and more obvious. What will happen in the future... It's hard to say.

As for the Western Region, since they are facing the most dangerous enemy of the empire, the Orcs, they have always been eager to get military assistance. Therefore, their strategy is vacillating, and more often they use this as an excuse to ask for support from the royal family or the church, not a reliable ally.

Moreover, due to this generation of Dukes of the West, they are more inclined to the church. "

"Why?" Colin suddenly wondered, "If I remember correctly, this generation of Duke of the West is a Paladin."

"That's right. There are two living paladins in the Radiant Empire, Prince Leahy and Duke St. Grian." Maester Dawn's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question, "Lord Viscount, you have I have never thought about why Prince Lehi and His Majesty the Emperor have not dealt with each other?"

Colin wanted to say, this is not a matter of course, whoever is the emperor will be afraid of a prince who is superior to him in terms of prestige and force.

But then, he thought of the scene in the Cathedral of the Holy Light today. When Queen Midella proposed to dissect the remains of the Archon of Lattoum, the most objectionable one was not Prince Leahy, but Pope Gregory Ray!

"Could it be that Prince Lehi is close to the church?"

"That's right!" Bachelor Dawn nodded, "So you should understand why His Majesty the Emperor must expel Prince Lehi. With Prince Lehi in Dragon City, the San Lorenzo family would not be able to form a joint force. This alliance against the church will exist in name only."

Colin then became puzzled again: "Prince Lehi, as the guardian of the San Lorenzo family, why does he get close to the church? And what does this have to do with the Duke of Westland's preference for the church?"

The Bachelor of Dawn took a deep breath and said condensedly, "Lord Viscount, in fact, all Paladins will be biased towards the Church!"

"Why?" Colin froze in his heart, realizing that this might be the crux of the problem.

"Because once a paladin is injured, it can only be recovered with the help of a high-level priest's healing technique. And this is the key method for the church to control the highest-level combat power of the human race!"

Colin suddenly thought of the bishop of Winter City who died suddenly at the beginning of this year, and asked, "Then Duke St. Hilde was injured after fighting against the troll paladin..."

"After the Duke was injured, he found Bishop Jean and Archbishop Raven, hoping to get medical treatment, but Bishop Raven took the opportunity to threaten Sir Duke, and wanted to make the North fall to the side of the Church.

However, the Duke did not want to be coerced by the church and forcibly forced Archbishop Raven to perform a healing technique for himself. After the other party refused to agree, the Duke brazenly shot and killed Bishop Jean, and Archbishop Raven gave in. "

Colin was slightly startled, and sighed that Duke Saint Hilde was really ruthless.

"Then Archbishop Raven was later dismissed by the church, is it because of this?"

"Yes. After the church learned that the Duke was promoted to a paladin, it has been trying to win over the North, but the Duke did not give in immediately, he did not want to become a puppet of the church.

In fact, the Duke's injury is very serious, and it is not enough for Archbishop Raven's treatment. It is precisely because of this that although the Duke has not fallen to the church, the emperor no longer trusts his allies as he used to.

He was worried that the Duke of St. Hilde would fall to the church sooner or later, because it was impossible for the Duke to let his injury worsen. "

Ke Lin nodded, and then he understood why the emperor condoned Mr. Ho to disturb the northern border, and even acquiesced in allowing the other party to use the "Eye of Judgment" to kill his eldest brother.

If the three realms of the east, west, and north all fall to the church, how can the majesty of the royal family be maintained?

The Church will really become the actual ruler of the Radiance Empire.

Colin's heart was heavy, and he said a little dejectedly: "If the Paladins will fall to the church, then I think the royal family may have no chance of winning..."

The Master Dawn shook his head and said, "Lord Viscount, you are wrong to think so."

"Oh why?"

"What a proud existence the Paladins are, how could they be willing to be manipulated and coerced by the Church in this way?

The Duke of St. Hilde was so badly wounded that even though he was suspected by the emperor and coerced by the archbishop, he did not fall to the church until his death.

Prince Lehi would not be willing to become a thug of the church if it weren't for the fact that he was born in a sideline of the San Lorenzo family and was not valued since childhood, and most of his cultivation resources were funded by the church.

As for Duke St. Grian in the Western Region, he was often injured due to the threat from the orcs. Without the healing techniques of the church, he would not be able to last for so long. Therefore, he is helpless in favoring the church at the moment.

But I believe that if the royal family and the church are torn apart, there is a high probability that Prince Leahy and the Duke of St. Grian will not help the church! "

Colin thought for a while and felt that what Dawn said made sense.

No paladin is willing to be coerced by the church, and even if they submit to the church on the surface, they will not sincerely submit.

Seeing Colin pondering, Bachelor Dawn asked again, "Lord Viscount, do you know how old His Majesty Ghana, the founding emperor of the Radiant Empire, passed away?"

"Well... I just remember that he seemed quite young when he died."

"That's right. His Majesty Garner died young at fifty-seven!"

Colin immediately realized that there was a problem.

How could a legendary Paladin pass away so early.

"Could it be because of the church?"

"Yes. His Majesty Ghana has fought for his entire life, and even if he is superior, he will inevitably be injured. When the relationship between the royal family and the church is harmonious, this is of course not a problem.

But later, when His Majesty Garner began to deliberately limit the power of the church, the Pope immediately forbade the priests to perform healing on His Majesty and even the Paladins who were unwilling to cooperate.

This also led to the deterioration of His Majesty Garner's injuries, but even so, His Majesty Garner did not submit to the Church until his death.

So, in fact, this is an undercover war that has been going on since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The royal family hopes that the church will only become a spiritual symbol, not to retain the army, and not to be involved in secular government affairs.

But obviously, the church is not satisfied with this. They want to be the uncrowned king of the empire, and they want the emperor and nobles to be marionettes in their hands.

So, this battle will continue.

And the northern border is the key to the current competition between the two sides!

Moreover, you may not realize that you, who defeated the Pegasus Legion in the Eastern Realm, are also the object that the royal family is trying to win over. "

Colin nodded, only then did he understand why in the carriage today, the emperor asked the prince and princess to worship him as a teacher.

This is to make him a sharp sword in the hands of the royal family, leading the army in the north to attack the east that has already completely fallen to the church.

Colin fell silent.

In fact, he didn't want to get involved in this power struggle between the royal family and the church.

He has no ill feelings towards the church, nor does he have much allegiance to the royal family.

If he wants to make him a pawn in the attack, Colin will not be easily fooled.

Unless, profitable...

"I understand." Colin smiled lightly, stood up and said, "Thank you for helping me answer a lot of my doubts, the situation of the Radiance Empire is now no longer shrouded in fog for me."

"It's my pleasure!"

"Okay, I'm going back to rest. I understand that I have to accompany Vera to the Senate."

"Okay, Lord Viscount, I'll take you off."

Bachelor Dawn sent Colin all the way to the gate, and just waved goodbye when he saw Colin suddenly turned around and asked with a smile:

"Dawn, are you loyal to the North, or are you loyal to the royal family?"

Bachelor Dawn was stunned, glanced at Colin, and then replied solemnly:

"I'm loyal to the Radiance Empire!"

Colin glanced at Maester Dwayne somewhat unexpectedly, and then seemed to understand something, but did not comment on it, just smiled and turned and left.
