I like traveling the most

The Marquis's mansion is very large, so there are many spare rooms. On the third floor, where the sundries are placed, the hidden room at the corner is where Xiaolin lives.

Originally, he could not live here without a family name, but he had to live here because of Marquis Leibun's request. But over time, it was unknown why it was rumored that Marquis Leibun did this deliberately to humiliate the second son.

Although they were all the Marquis's requests, the meanings were completely different. Just to protect his family, his brother silently accepted this scandal.

Walk into the room.

"Mr. Lin."

"Wait."

To stop the maid from speaking, Lin came to the bookshelf and took out a book. The cover of the book was light blue, and the surface was slightly dusty, which seemed to indicate that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

He didn't care, but turned to a specific page of the book, which was engraved with a mysterious magic circle.

Three seconds later, the aqua-blue light shield slowly spread outward with the book as the center, and rippled after reaching the sky above the room, until it wrapped the entire room and stopped.

This is a third-level magic that can effectively prevent eavesdropping, and it can also serve as a warning even if someone is eavesdropping. To exaggerate, no one in the entire capital can eavesdrop quietly.

Although there is some suspicion of making a fuss, it is not wrong to be cautious in the Marquis's mansion, which is always under the watch of many forces. After all, the things he hides must not be exposed.

Sitting casually on the desk chair, the maid quickly came behind him and kneaded the master's shoulders. Slightly relieved from the fatigue caused by sitting in the carriage for a long time, Lin asked:

"Tell me, what's the matter."

"Yes. First of all, the Kingdom Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff was ambushed by the elite force of the [Slian Theocracy] [Sunlight Scripture] when he led a team to Kahn Village."

"... What did you say?!"

Hearing this news, Lin's limp body immediately sat up straight, and his shoulders and torso tensed up.

Gazef Stronoff was both his teacher and friend. He was willing to exchange ideas with him even though his brother was a representative of the aristocracy. Not to mention that he was born a commoner and was born to be opposed to the aristocracy.

It was really admirable that he could have such a broad mind.

Noticing that the master was nervous, the maid continued, "Please rest assured, master. Master Gazef Stronoff did not die, but was saved by a magic chanter named Ainz Ooal Gown. Only a few soldiers were killed."

"Ainz Ooal Gown...hiss——!"

At the moment of reading this name, Lin's head felt like a needle piercing. He couldn't help but take a breath and covered his forehead with a twisted face.

The maid hurriedly massaged the master.

The extremely skilled technique showed that this method of relieving pain had been used many times before. It was just that this time it was much stronger than before, and it took a long time to relieve.

This phenomenon was caused by innate supernatural powers.

As the name suggests, it is a natural ability.

In this world, about one in every two hundred people has a natural ability, but most of them are simple and convenient abilities like weather forecasting, and a small number of people have rare abilities such as adjusting potions and using various magic tools.

And Lin's natural ability is

——the wisdom of the goddess.

This ability was fully revealed when Lin was six years old, and at the moment of manifestation, the originally bright golden hair was instantly dyed aqua blue, and at the same time, he gained the ability to hear the goddess's oracle and receive certain warnings.

The warning is just like just now, when you hear someone's name, your head will be as painful as being pricked by a needle, and the more painful it is, the more important that person is.

Like this time, it was the most severe pain in 18 years!

"Ainz Ooal Gown...?"

Although I don't know who he is, since the wisdom of the goddess has given a warning, I have to investigate it carefully.

By the way, let's talk about the less important oracle of the goddess.

This ability is clear except for the goddess's name Aqua and the unpleasant doctrine of tanking, which makes people feel uncomfortable at first glance. Other ambiguous things such as yo-yos, bubble wine, game consoles, etc. are not clear at all.

However, thanks to this doctrine of tanking, those who believe in the six gods mistakenly think that it is just a child's play and regard it as an object of ridicule. They are not criticized and hostile, and can develop secretly in secret. For a moment, I don't know whether to be grateful or helpless.

And the goddess's wisdom is not only this, it also has more powerful abilities.

"Master Lin?"

"It's okay, I just lost my mind."

Close your eyes and enjoy the massage of the maid to eliminate the discomfort just now like a needle.

When the pain dissipates, the thoughts are no longer affected, and the IQ regains its high ground.

The maid continued to report: "Bird" sent a message and found that there were many noble shadows in this incident, including but not limited to the other five nobles and many small and medium nobles. No evidence has been found yet, but Bird has found clues. Do you want to continue to follow up?"

"... Forget it, let them come back. It's just a waste of effort to continue." Lin waved his hand.

Judging from the current control of the kingdom over the nobles, even if they find evidence, it will be futile. They just need to deny it or push insignificant pawns as scapegoats.

And the noble faction cannot be sanctioned at all, and even going too far will only cause a greater backlash.

Instead of wasting energy on where you can't get it, it's better to focus on other things.

“Huh, the kingdom is in danger, but those nobles are only thinking about their own interests. It’s really unbearable. How can there be a home without a country? When will those idiots understand this truth?”

The maid did not respond to Lin’s sigh.

She is a member of “Flower” and an insignificant member of the Axis Church. She is not very intelligent and cannot share the troubles of her master.

But it is different from this aspect. If she needs to sacrifice for her master now, she will not hesitate to commit suicide on the spot. This is her determination.

“Anything else?”

“Yes!”

Hearing the master’s question, the maid immediately came back to her senses.

She sorted out her thoughts and said, “The former ninth seat of [Black Scripture], [Wind Break] Clementine betrayed.”

“Oh? That loveless girl defected? Did she have a quarrel with her fifth seat brother? Hahaha, it seems that my fanning the flames is still useful.”

Lin raised her eyebrows with a smirk of success on her face.

The maid bowed her head slightly.

The only person who can be called a love-deprived girl is her master. After all, Clementine is a strong person who has entered the realm of heroes, and the number of warriors stronger than her can be counted on two hands.

The bad fate between the two can be traced back to what happened when Lin went to the [Slian Theocracy] to explore the true meaning of faith magic.

At that time, Clementine relied on her position as the ninth seat of the [Black Scripture] to make things difficult for him, and it was normal for her to be beaten and covered with bruises.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the other party's territory and she had to hide her strength, she would definitely make her suffer.

"According to the news from the bird, Clementine of [Wind Runaway] stole the secret treasure [Crown of the Wise] of the Wind Flower Scripture when she escaped. However, the authenticity of this information cannot be confirmed because the news was blocked very quickly. Do you want to continue the investigation?"

"No need. The Church must be in a state of panic now. Any negligent behavior will easily be regarded as an enemy. ... Ask [Astrology Thousand Miles]. That guy has benefited so much, it's time for her to play a role."

"Yes, I know."

The maid nodded in response.

Among the twelve seats of [Black Scripture], the seventh seat [Astrology Thousand Miles] is responsible for the knowledge part. Therefore, in order to explore the true meaning of faith magic, he has been with her for a long time. In addition, the other party also has the ability to monitor everything, so it is too easy to obtain information. Therefore, the two have established a clear interest relationship.

"By the way, where did that love-starved girl go?"

"According to the report from "Moon", she should be in the Fortress City now."

"I think so too."

[Ye-Rantel] is an important border between the neighboring countries [Bahas Empire] and [Silian Theocracy], and is heavily protected by three walls, so it is named Fortress City just like its appearance.

If she escapes from there, she can turn around and run away, and she can sneak into the Theocracy at any time. It is easy to imagine what she wants to do.

"Fortress City..."

"Lord Lin, are you going to Fortress City?"

"Of course. I suffered a lot because of that guy's difficulties at the beginning. Now that she has taken the initiative to leave the Theocracy, how can I not return the favor?"

And he is also very interested in the [Crown of the Wise].

I heard that it is a divine weapon that can activate the seventh-level magic that humans can never achieve - [Undead Legion].

Even if it is not the [Crown of the Wise], it can be called a secret treasure of the Theocracy, at least it is a divine weapon of the same level.

I was so nervous to see those treasures at first, but now I have a chance to take them. If I can snatch them away or destroy them, the expressions of those who claim to be the last and strongest guardians of mankind will be very interesting.

But why did she steal that treasure?

Although Lin sneered at those who claim to be the last and strongest guardians of mankind, the guys in the [Black Scripture] are indeed very strong, especially the [Extraordinary Seat] who is not human.

And Clementine wants to steal the treasures from so many monsters and escape successfully. The dangers and difficulties she faces can be imagined.

Her fingers tapped the table lightly, making a crisp sound.

She muttered softly: "Could it be... someone instructed her?"

"Master Lin, what do you mean..."

"After all, you can't just steal the secret treasures of the Church like a rebellious girl to prove yourself just to prove that you are better than your brother?"

No, it's not impossible.

That guy is a love-deprived girl with a problem in her brain, so it's not impossible for her to do this.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Let "Yue" monitor her and see who she has contacted. After finding her, let "Feng" go out, but don't ambush her, just trap her. The other party is at least someone who has entered the hero realm, and the second and third levels are just serving food to the other party."

"Yes, I know."

The maid bowed her head and replied.

As a maid who often gets along with her master, she naturally knows that the master pays attention to [Wind Break], but that is definitely not a feeling of admiration or liking, but a hatred that she wishes the other party to die.

Why?

It's not the superficial reason that she has been troubled to death, but her brutal personality that doesn't match her cute appearance. She is a killer who takes lives capriciously, so Lin hates her very much.

"By the way, I also saw a base in [Roble Holy Kingdom]. Did "Yue" open a store there?"

"I'm so sorry, Master. I was so worried about you because I hadn't heard from you for a long time that I sent "Moon" to the [Robel Holy Kingdom] to open a new base, hoping to get some information. Please forgive me."

"It's okay. Thanks to the establishment of the base, I was able to send a message to the kingdom, otherwise I would have been left there for a long time. You did a good job."

"You're flattering me. Everything I have belongs to the Master, and I'm willing to give it all to you!"

The fanatical eyes made people feel a little uncomfortable. She looked like an elegant and gentle mature woman, but she was so fanatical when talking about the church.

Why, the Axis Church was just a formal church, why did it become like this? Even Xiaolin didn't know the answer to this question. After thinking for a long time, he could only attribute it to the goddess.

Speaking of the church...

"How is the new church going?"

"Very smoothly. Because it is built outside the capital, the nobles have no reason to criticize it. Even if some of them come to find fault, they will be driven away quickly. However..."

"Why?"

"Due to the abolition of slavery by the [Golden Princess], there has been a large increase in refugees, which has made the church somewhat overwhelmed."

"...Build two more churches outside the capital. Let "Yue" arrange the funds without affecting the business. If it is not enough, tell me and I will go to my brother."

Lin rubbed his eyebrows.

Building a church is easy to say, but there are many things involved, such as money, land, and people, not to mention that the church being built is extremely sensitive and can easily provoke others.

It seems that I have to go to the [Golden Princess] and ask her to think of a solution.

My request is likely to be approved.

The nobles must be extremely angry about the abolition of slavery, and they leave the scattered slaves alone, with the sole purpose of letting them disrupt the capital and put pressure on the royal family.

The role of the Akusis Church, which is not afraid of the nobles and can accept slaves, is self-evident. Similarly, the Akusis Church can also take this opportunity to vigorously develop the church, which is a win-win situation.

"Flower" to establish the church to coordinate information

"Bird" to collect and spy on secret intelligence

"Wind" with strong third-level strength

"Moon" who is good at trade and earning money

The four secret forces under him and the Akusis Church on the surface are his accumulation in the past twelve years.

As for why it is named after flowers, birds, wind and moon? I don't know, but these four words are particularly clear in the oracle of the goddess.

At this time, the door was knocked.

The two of them closed their mouths at the same time.

"Master Lin, the dinner is ready."

Hagen's voice came from outside the door.

Since getting married and having children five years ago, Marquis Leibun has paid special attention to family affection, and the family must be present every day for the dinner without exception.

"I know, I'll go now."

With a reply, the conversation with the maid also ended.

I found that writing Bone King was extremely difficult. It used to take 2-3 hours to write one chapter, but it took 6 hours to write one chapter! There were all kinds of proper nouns, all kinds of complicated relationships, and I had to check the information back and forth to confirm it repeatedly. At the same time, I had to write it in an interesting way without making the style as dark as the original. To be honest, I was dumbfounded.
