Chapter 498

Cold slate, bright lights, rows of corridor columns, spacious gate.

Go to the corridor of the parliament Hall of the heavenly palace. There is a red haired boy beside the black haired wizard who doesn't change his face. He holds his hands behind his head and looks at his wizard adviser with joking eyes.

"I don't know how you did it, but this time you can really drag the case of Lusaka kovo to the pre imperial trial... It's really hard not to impress you, my wizard adviser."

Brandon de sallion had a bright smile on his mouth and a sly look in his eyes: "you should have seen the faces of those nobles when they first heard of the 'pre imperial trial'... Have you ever seen a man's chin fall to the ground?"

"No."

"Then get ready, because you will soon see the spectacular scene of 300 people falling to the ground at the same time!" his highness smiled brightly: "anyway... Well done this time!"

"Thank you for your compliment, your highness." the black haired wizard, with his face unchanged, passed by royal guards accompanied by Brandon.

"The number of guards in the heavenly palace is much more than usual."

"Of course... The last time the imperial court tried, it was many years ago when the seal minister metterne Leopold served as chief justice. It is estimated that many nobles have only heard of it."

The gloomy corridor and frequently patrolling bodyguards... It is clear that the whole sky palace is in a dull atmosphere of mountain rain, and Brandon's smile is still unabated, even brighter.

"What about... The attitude of the nobles?"

"You should be able to guess... I'd like to announce Lusaka kovo's death in court and then escort him to the sky palace for execution - preferably beheading or hanging, which will certainly make them happy!"

"The people of the imperial capital, will they participate in the trial?"

"The church hopes so, but most of the former royal cabinet can only give up their collective opposition - rest assured that the mob incited by rumors and the Holy Cross will not interfere with the trial at most under the Golovin hill."

"The attitude of the former cabinet?"

"The church and the academy are opposed to each other. The Military Secretary Severin does not state his position. Justice Victor is absolutely neutral; the seal minister mettner... Is more subtle."

"Huh?" Lauren raised his eyebrows.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm more surprised than you." Brandon, with a flat mouth, tilted his head and rubbed his hair with his right hand. "Generally speaking, mettner won't say anything easily... The old man is not generally smart. It's very difficult to persuade him to do anything."

"Although he was still neutral this time, he was vaguely willing to favor the wizard and said 'Lusaka should not be responsible for the things of that year alone'." Brandon bit his finger: "if anyone can make the seal minister so rash, it must be..."

"The emperor's own will," Loren said slowly.

"I was afraid it would be like this," Brandon sighed and rolled his eyes.

Although the attitude of the former cabinet will not directly affect the final judgment, it is related to the attitude of akhat II... More importantly, each of these cabinet ministers represents a force in the imperial capital and even the third country, which can not be ignored.

"So..." the prince glanced slightly: "how on earth did you persuade elbird?"

"Huh?" the black haired wizard turned his head in confusion.

"Don't pretend to be silly, my wizard adviser... This is the information told by sister-in-law phillanai herself. Elbird was plotted by someone in the church."

Brandon deliberately shook his head and pouted higher than his nose: "of course, the information sent by my sister-in-law can't be wrong... So you can only try to get him back... How did you do it?"

"It's very simple... First of all, Albert himself made this decision reluctantly. Whether he agreed or disagreed, it was for the future of the Wizards in the imperial capital, and to expand a little, for the future of the whole wizard class."

Loren's tone was calm: "the other party gave him a very idealized and possible future - the wizard class can live in harmony with the church class, respect each other and treat each other well, probably so."

"The wizard and the Church... Love each other?" Brandon raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled falsely. "Are you on drugs?"

"Can you smile more fake?"

The black haired wizard twitched at the corner of his mouth: "it's incredible to say, but I have to admit... I almost believed elbird's theory!"

"Sorry, I said the opposite... Not 'are you on drugs?'... But 'how much are you high'?!"

"If! I mean if... The theory of mystics can be used to prove the existence of the Holy Cross. If all the rules of the world, the conclusions and phenomena we find are created by the Holy Cross..."

Lauren ignored Brandon who "looked at the fool's expression" and explained helplessly: "what if the wizard becomes an organization under the jurisdiction of the Holy Cross Church... Or, in other words, accept the supervision of the church?"

"It may not be smooth at the beginning, but in the long run... The theory of wizards will become the theoretical basis of the Holy Cross Church's belief and the theory supporting them; while the church can provide very huge resources to make people all over the Empire and even the world believe that the wizard class is protected by the Holy Cross!"

"In this way, wizards provide the expansion urgently needed by the church, and the church can give wizards legitimacy... The two sides have become a completely complementary cooperative relationship; as for the original contradiction... In the face of interests, contradictions can be discussed."

The voice fell, and Brandon's surprised expression gradually disappeared and didn't reply.

They continued to walk deeper into the palace. More and more royal guards passed by, and the majestic parliament hall was close at hand.

"So... How did you convince him?" Brandon looked as usual, but his eyes were more dignified.

Loren chuckled and his steps became much lighter.

"I can tell him that it is difficult or impractical to do this... It is not easy to get them to accept this result in the status of the church today. It may take decades or even hundreds of years to see some results."

"So I asked him... 'are you really willing'?"

Brandon's eyes showed a trace of confusion, but a few seconds later, his royal highness returned to normal, holding his head in his hands and following the dark haired wizard.

Even if he can really accept such a future, it does not mean that Albert Tarot, who was born as a wizard, will have no complaints about the Holy Cross.

Why sacrifice people are always wizards

Why should priests always occupy the commanding heights of morality and justice

Why should we bear all the suffering, blood and tears

Why... You don't have to pay any price

It can't be simpler.

"But... That's not enough." Brandon raised his mouth bit by bit and looked at his wizard adviser meaningfully: "I know Elbert. He won't agree so easily."

"That's right." Lauren sighed. "I made a deal with him."

"What deal?"

"A secret." the dark haired wizard smiled. "We each exchanged a secret... In other words, we are holding each other's handle now."

"Well... I guess you won't tell me what it is."

"Worthy of his highness Brandon, he is really smart."

"Don't be numb, my goose bumps are coming out." Brandon, with a long face, rolled his eyes and stopped Lauren first: "I have to tell you two things before you go in, so that you won't be in a hurry."

"First of all, I still can't help you this time... I'm a direct member of the royal family and can't participate in the pre imperial trial, because my 12th generation emperor is my own father!"

"Secondly, the defenders sent by the Holy Cross Church are very troublesome!"

"Very troublesome?" Lauren frowned. "Church judge?"

"No, if only that guy - I can tell you his weakness directly, but it's not him this time!" Brandon clenched his teeth. "That man is..."

Before the voice fell, another voice suddenly sounded behind them:

"Lauren, there you are!"
