Vol 4 Chapter 89: opportunity

No matter what kind of prestige and Hamilton's bravery he has, he is still alone. Behind that gorgeous halo, Hamilton's true combat power is actually no stronger than Hampton.
Hampton alone is enough to deal with Hamilton, not to mention that there are many high-level warriors around him.
Coupled with the collapse of the Temple of the Holy Spirit, Hamilton suffered a tremendous psychological shock, making him unable to fight.
The death spear was knocked down, a few cracks were added to the armor, and Hamilton was firmly restrained by the court warrior.
They did not give him an air-stop ring. This kind of thing was too cruel after all. Strick VI didn't want to really turn his face to the church, so he stayed a bit on the line. But the forbidden membrane ring is for Hamilton.
Holy samurai are all magic warriors. Most of their attacks and defenses are a mix of magic and vigor. In this regard, Xiu Yi has long been eager to reach, but has never been able to do as freely as the Samurai. After putting on the forbidden magic ring, Hamilton's strength dropped by more than half, and then sent several senior warrior guards, Strike VI finally relieved.
"Your Majesty, do you think ... is this appropriate?" Hampton whispered.
Strike sighed: "There are many things that we have no choice, or the choice itself is a risk. Or today we have caught Hamilton and it will annoy the Holy See, but they are also very clear, so the war is Irrational behavior. Don't forget that the Lance Empire itself is part of the Holy See. "
Hampton nodded.
Indeed, the Church of the Holy Spirit is not a political organization like the state. It is a large and loosely structured organization. Each country on the northern continent is part of the church. Really want to start the Lance Empire, for the church, this is equivalent to launching a civil war, no matter who wins or loses, there is no winner.
The Lance Empire did not intend to overthrow the church. They did not have conflicts in essence, only to cause a dispute for the repair of a eagle. Such disputes can be settled with political hands. For example, the empire apologized to the church, then paid a certain amount of money, and then released Hamilton. Unless the Pope is faint enough to think that he is the absolute master of this continent, and no one can disobey his will, he cannot be stupid enough to start a war on this.
This is also why Strike dares to believe that Xiuyi can handle it without Xiuyi's help, but it only costs a bit more.
"It's a pity that things are in a hurry. I didn't expect to seize the opportunity to talk with Xiu Yilaier. Otherwise, he was required at that time to have a teleportation matrix in the alchemy that he handed over." Hampton sighed. On this issue, no one at that time had negotiated well with Xiuyi.
On the contrary, Strike VI sighed again: "Actually ... I thought about it then."
Hampton wondered: "Do you think? Your Majesty, since you thought about it, why not take advantage of it ..."
"Hampton!" Emperor Strick said with a serious expression: "Do you want to threaten Xiuyi's life with my own daughter to surrender the technique of teleportation? If he does not hand in, he will not be allowed to rescue him? Let me His daughter died? "
Hampton was speechless.
Strick slowly said: "Some things we can't do after all, even if it's an opportunity, we can only give up. I don't want to know that in the future, Avril will have someone to save her at all costs, and her father But in some alchemy obstructing the rescue. That would make me lose her forever. Even if the people knew of such things, they would be shameless to me. That is not a decision that should be made as a father. "
"You're right, Your Majesty!" Hampton lowered his head. "But Hugh Iglell destroyed the Arcane Tower, and Lord Cage was very angry. He has learned of our cooperation with Hugh Iglell, Very dissatisfied ... "
"If you destroy it, you can build another one. What a big deal." Strike VI waved his hand impatiently. "The princess of the empire is missing, and the magician of the Arcane Tower is doing a lot of work. Whether they have premeditated or not They all have to shoulder their irresponsible responsibilities. On this issue, Nicholas Cage does not have the right to bargain. You send someone to tell Nicholas and immediately surrender all those suspected of holding the princess! "
"This ... I'm afraid it's not good, right?" Hampton hesitated. After all, Arcane Tower is not an ordinary organization, it is a joint organization of magicians, and has great authority in the empire. As a sanctuary, Nicholas was also polite to him.
But the princess' abduction had really annoyed Strick. What about sanctuary? What about the magician? This world cannot be solved by force alone. No matter how big your sanctuary is, can you restore the collapsed Arcane Tower from its original state? No matter how powerful a magician is, can he build a house with magic? Can it be transformed into food? Can the government and civilians be managed with magic?
The strength of the secular scope is still based on the hard work of countless civilians. At this point, neither the Wizards Association nor the Church of the Holy Spirit is inseparable from the existence of the functional department of the state organization. This is also the fundamental reason why the powerful people finally bow to worldly power. In the final analysis, they are also vulgars, and cannot be completely separated from the world. In this case, they can only bow to worldly power. At best, they have some privileges and become vested interests, but they cannot violate the basic operating rules.
Nicholas Cage obviously made such a mistake. Instead of surrendering Erdoris and others, he even tried to ask Strike VI for repair. This is no longer a matter of repairing Iraq, but involves the issue of national dignity. No matter how transcendent and powerful the Wizarding Society is, it cannot and cannot transcend national existence. Otherwise, what is the significance of the existence of the state?
So Strike VI immediately issued an ultimatum to Nicholas Cage, demanding that he be delivered, which was the result of his extreme tolerance.
At this time, the Lord Sanctuary did not have the courage to confront the empire, because he was successfully conspired by Xiuyi to collapse a temple of the Holy Spirit, which completely ignited the anger of the knights in the church. They are frantically concentrating in the direction of the Arcane Tower ruins, preparing to launch a decisive impact on the Wizards Association. They believed that it was the Arcane Tower that destroyed the Holy Spirit Hall, because only the magician of the Arcane Tower could release so many and powerful bursts of fireballs. Similarly, Arcane Tower does have a reason to do so, because Nicholas Cage was neglected in the Royal Coliseum, and shot angrily to kill dozens of holy knights. It is very likely that he is still not deflated, and after seeing the Arcane Tower collapsed, he took the shot and demolished the Holy Spirit Temple.
Anyway, such a reason is indeed reasonable. The Church of the Holy Spirit was so troubled to find the Arcane Tower that the whole of Warrington was in a mess.
The old emperor was very good at choosing timing, but it was the sacred master who made the wrong decision at the wrong time.
Therefore, in this game, Arcane Tower is doomed to become the winner.
Hamilton was confined to a carriage relatively late in the royal line.
Despite wearing the forbidden ring, Hamilton had no inconvenience in his actions. Considering his special identity, even Strike VI did not dare to embarrass him too much. Only four senior warriors were ordered to be strictly guarded, forbidden to leave, and his freedom was temporarily restricted.
As for how to deal with it in the future, a decision can only be made after negotiation with the Holy Spirit Church.
Although he still respects Hamilton as much as possible on the surface, but for the always arrogant spirit caregivers, as soon as he was out, he was ashamed by Hugh Iglell, and in the end he even became an empire. It's definitely a great shame for the prisoners below.
He snarled wildly in the carriage: "Strick! You are responsible for your actions! You are an insult to the church, a blasphemy against the gods! The holy light of heaven will one day cleanse this sinful kingdom! "
Sin kingdom? Miaia slightly lifted her lips. If the Reims Empire is a sinful kingdom, what is the Church of the Holy Spirit? Are they not supported by these evil kingdoms?
In essence, every person in power does not like clergy, especially those who place the status of the gods above secular power.
They are fighting for power with the world.
And those who have long been supremely in power have become accustomed to the self-centeredness and self-will, and they will never like anything else to point at themselves. Of course, on the other hand, the existence of the church can focus the national will, make the country call out with the same voice, and have a common goal. It is even possible to make good wishes to the people when their lives are hard, so that they can believe that the pain of this life is the source of happiness in the next life, and thus stabilize the country.
From this point of view, the existence of religion has a positive meaning.
This is why the doomsday church was obviously more pragmatic and more concerned about people ’s livelihood, but it was not as important as the Holy Spirit Church in the real development. They did not give believers a beautiful future, but reminded them that the future was cruel and painful.
This makes believers in their choice of religion, the nature of tending to avoid the harm, so that they choose the Church of the Holy Spirit more, so that the doomsday church eventually far from the south, and learn from the past, modify the teachings, and re-development.
Therefore, Prince Miyea has ample reason for Hamilton's disdain. Religion is a tool for the power class to deceive and govern others. In the end, it has also deceived the power layer itself. Does that Hamilton really think he is the spokesperson for the gods? Does he really believe in this world?
"Stupid!" Miyea spit out these words slowly.
"If you're talking about that deity's caregiver, he is indeed a fool." A voice sounded behind Miaia.
Looking back, it was Prince Frank who was next to him, Emily, who was the charming dark church leader.
"Why are you here?" Miya asked curiously.
Richard shrugged. "I can't stop coming to such a big thing."
"Your tone is weird, why are you worried?"
"Of course, you can't help but worry." Richard nodded earnestly: "I heard that our allies made some decisions behind us without permission?"
"Yes, I'm worried about this too." Miyea nodded unabashedly: "Things have changed tremendously, and he reached some agreement directly with my father, not us."
"It's not good," Richard said.
"It's true, but what can I do? We can only watch this situation and not interfere."
"If that's the case, we don't have to come."
Miyaya said: "What do you want? My friend? Want to change our allies' plans? No, that will kill my sister and kill me, and people like him will not accept our control. You and I are very clear about this. "
"If you can't control people, you can control the situation. If you can't control friends, you can control the enemy." Richard said meaningfully.
Miyea was startled, "What do you mean?"
Richard nodded to Amelia, who released a silent enchantment. Richard then said to Miyah: "Our allies have given us an opportunity, a good opportunity. It would be a shame if we didn't grasp it."
"Where's the opportunity?"
Richard's eyes fluttered towards the carriage beside Miaia.
"He?" Miyeya frowned.
Richard's voice became erratic: "Yes, don't you think this person is a very easy to use weapon? He has some very special qualities, tenacity, strength, and the most rare thing is ... he has a fearless spirit . "
Miya's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his head for a while and finally looked up at Richard: "That's right, my friend, you reminded me. I think we can make things more beautiful . "
"what do you mean……"
"Since it's a tragedy, someone has to take responsibility. The greater the tragedy, the more it takes great people to bear it."
Richard grinned. "It's good, that's it."
The two highnesses got together and started mumbling about each other. Soon, their opinions were agreed.
When a large group of guards like wolf tigers and a small number of agents from the Legal Department arrived at Padgett's house, people were already empty.
Xiu put his head lightly, and several agents rushed into all corners of the place, looking for possible clues.
In terms of finding clues, the agents are actually more professional than Xiu Yi. Xiu Yi is very clear that professional things need to be done by professional staff. In this regard, he doesn't mind giving other people some room to play, and even himself can learn how to deal with each other's problems.
He may need to flee in the future, and he can know in advance.
Xiu himself walked around in Padgett's living room with her hands behind her back.
He looked very laid back, just hanging around, in fact the whole man was in a wonderful state. The spirit is like a gossamer, attached to the air, and walks around, spreading like a strand of silk to the entire building. He could clearly feel that two agents were flipping boxes in Padgett's wife's room; one agent was knocking east and west in the study, trying to find what secrets existed; and several agents The officer asked outside neighbors about the owner's whereabouts.
The spirit continued to walk, expanding the opposite street, and some disturbed speech affected Xiu Yi's feeling. He realized that this was his limit and had to stop for a moment to recover the spirit.
He is now using a soul spell inherited from the western continent, called Free Perception. By attaching his spirit to some tiny particles in the air, he extends his vision and hearing. You can see far away, but it is omnipresent, and you can detect all the hidden actions around you. It is just that a large amount of information is invaded into the brain in the same period of time, which will cause a heavy burden on the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to temper its soul ability. The higher the soul power, the more information can be collected, and the wider the collection.
Speaking of it, soul spells are not a taboo in the western continent. On the contrary, many magicians are keen to study soul spells. In their view, this is the most mysterious spell and the most powerful spell. It can control people's thoughts and determine their destiny. What could be more terrible than this?
Top-level soul spells can even completely turn a person into his own slave, surrendering from spirit to will at his feet.
Perhaps this is why the Holy Spirit Church is so jealous of soul spells? Brainwashing people is the prerogative of the church. No one except the church is qualified to teach others what to do and what not to do. But Soul Masters are different. They affect the human brain, control their thinking, and control their destiny. Their power is even higher than the church. That is what the church cannot stand.
To put it plainly, the taboos and evil declared by the church are related to their own interests.
Interestingly, the glorious period of soul magic was the period of temple reign, and the Holy Spirit church was actually part of the temple heritage. Later generations inherited the knowledge and mantle of their predecessors, but subverted their achievements.
In this regard, the Church of the Holy Spirit is the true treason.
After booing, several detectives hurried back. An agent said, "Master Glair, nothing is found."
When the agent called Xiu Yi Lord Master, not only did Xiu Yi listen to awkwardness, but the agent himself was awkward. God knows that the wanted man they desperately pursued a few months ago is now standing in front of his eyes, but instead of being able to catch him, he must also obey his instructions.
But Xiuyi was numb to this.
He said in a flat tone: "Nothing is the biggest discovery."
Everyone was a little confused by this sentence, but Xiu Yi went to a corner where there was a picture hanging on it. It was a portrait of a family portrait of Padgett and a woman holding a child.
Looking at the portrait, Xiu Yi leisurely said: "This is the home of Padgett. From this portrait, they live happily together. You know? Women are lovers, and they do not easily abandon their home. .Especially after the death of her husband, the home is their most important umbrella to protect herself from the wind and rain. What makes a woman leave her home in such a hurry and ignore it? The only answer is danger, great danger. "
He turned his head and looked at the agent behind him: "Pudget's wife knew what was happening, so she took the child to avoid the disaster ahead of time. But what confuses me is that it hasn't happened that long. So, how did she know? And why are you, the savvy agents of the Legal Affairs Department, unable to find any clues? Maybe you are incompetent, but more likely, it is because someone knows how to deal with reconnaissance. . Obviously, Padgett's wife is not this kind of person, she cannot know what is the clue, what is not. "
"what do you mean……"
"Rasher has come, and he took away Padgett's wife and children. From a time perspective, he can't be much faster than us. So ... he must be here!"
Everyone was shocked. Xiu Yi had already looked at the Lilegula Mountains not far away.
At that moment he understood.
"He's there."! ~!
