Dominate the world in three weeks?

Under the scorching sun, the sound of horseshoes and neighing continued, and the dust raised could not suppress people's enthusiasm.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of people, the quiet atmosphere covered by a beautiful big umbrella looks very different.

Terrence leaned back on the soft leather chair wrapped in velvet and yawned. He half-closed his eyes and looked at the people waving their hands and shouting outside the driveway.

"It's boring." Terrence finally commented.

"Please don't say that, young master." Adam leaned over/body with a towel on his arm, "You are here to escape the history class in the afternoon."

"Oh, how can this be my fault." Terrence waved his hand, "I have never seen such a long-winded teacher who can turn a class that should be interesting into a sleepy sermon in the church .”

"The prejudice contained in your sentence is really too deep." Adam said, "You must know that there may not be a more knowledgeable doctor in the entire empire than Mr. Egram. You can't solve the problem when you have a problem." I just remembered his good points."

Terrence's eyes wandered, and he immediately changed the subject: "By the way, where did Lancer go? I remember he was standing by the side just now."

"Have you forgotten, just now you asked him to buy horse tickets. However, I think Mr. Lancer will delay some time." Adam pointedly looked at the blond knight surrounded by beautiful women in the distance.

With a tall and strong figure, a face comparable to sculptures, and a serious and upright manner, Lancer Schevenlieu fits the characteristics of a lover that every woman fantasizes about except that she is not noble. age, and a married lady would not care about keeping a knightly lover.Therefore, Lancer is quite popular among female nobles.

Terrence followed Adam's line of sight, and Lancer's unrelenting facial features still allowed Terrence to see the impatient mood of the other party.

He shrugged his shoulders: "It's useless for that guy to be popular with women."

Adam didn't know that Terrence's comment was based on Lancer's expression—of course, I'm afraid no one could see the emotion under the blond knight's perennially immobile facial features—so Mr. Butler said: "Master , I can understand your feeling of relying on Mr. Lancer, after all, he saved your life. But Mr. Lancer has also reached the age where he needs to be married, and you should give him some leisure and freedom."

"..."

Terrence glanced at Adam Smith with a strange look, and what the other said sounded like he had some ulterior motives for Lancer.

Although the little duke had the misfortune of liking a jerk before, he had never felt gay.Especially after waking up from the foolish love for Edward, Terrence felt that he had better find a gentle and pleasant girl to marry, and the Aldrette family needed him to continue the bloodline.

However, Terrence really misunderstood Adam this time.No matter how Adam thought about it, he wouldn't think that the 11-year-old little master would fall in love with a man.It's just that the relationship between Terrence and Lancer is very close in the eyes of others, and they rarely separate.

What bothers Adam the most is that Lancer still lives next door to Terrence.

As Terrence's direct knights, Lu Sien and Lancer have their own fiefdoms around the city of Aldrete. Because they are villages on the outskirts of the city, they have not yet been enclosed as territories, so the new owner's mansion has been under construction. It will be finished in the fall.But Terrence still didn't speak, and let the two knights go to the fief.

Terrence was nearly 12 years old, and he was about to find a suitable noble lady to get engaged to. It was not a suitable thing for a lady to see that another nobleman lived next door to her fiancé.

——Adam was like a nanny, worried about the young master he had watched grow up.

However, Terrence's decision also had its own intentions.

He inherited the title at a young age, and he has almost no control over the city of Aldelete. Putting Lu Sien and Lancer so far away, he even has to throw away the only power he has.But Terrence is not in a hurry, he is waiting for an opportunity to let himself rule the city of Alderete.

So, Adam and Terrence were thinking completely different things.The reason for the generation gap can be summed up as historical factors, political factors, etc., by citing the stereotypes in books.

At this time, a gray-haired young man walked over gracefully. Terrence saw him out of the corner of his eye, swept away his drowsy look, and sat up straight.

"Good day, Lord Aldrett."

"Good day, Virgil. You are still so polite. I told you earlier that you can call me by my first name." Terrence smiled and pointed to the empty seat beside him.

The person who came was the eldest son of the Winslet family, Virgil Winslet.

"It's already an honor to have you call me by my name." Virgil smiled, his lips curled into a gentle arc.This man who will eventually inherit the family business looks gentle and kind, not at all suitable for leading the family and subordinates, but Terrence knows that he is actually strong and courageous, and has the heart of a strong man to cut his wrists when necessary.

"Edward also mentioned you to me yesterday. He really likes you as a friend very much. Even if he just returned from the Aldrett House, he would like to visit you again."

Terrence smiled at Vergil's words, Edward has been expelled from the aristocratic circle, and he will not appear in any banquets or entertainment venues unless Terrence brings him by his side.Edward is holding Terrence tightly now, as if grabbing the last piece of driftwood that is about to rise in his life.

After Fugil conveyed his younger brother's words, he didn't say anything more, but changed the subject: "I heard that Her Majesty's favorite horse will appear on the racetrack today. Why didn't I see Her Majesty's figure?"

"Your Majesty probably isn't in the mood to have fun right now? She's worrying about church matters," Terrence said.

Batches of mage talents have sprung up from the Shaninpail Empire, so the Mage Association can be said to be a very respectable existence in the empire. In contrast, the influence of the church is very weak, and there are not even any mages in the empire. Several orthodox churches.

On the contrary, the Abant Empire, which has always been an enemy of Shaninpel, has countless brave warriors, but few famous mages. Therefore, it is very close to the Church State, and most people are loyal to it. God of light.

If it is pure belief, it is actually nothing, but the church is involved in the war between the two countries, using the so-called divine power to heal Abant's soldiers, so that they can pick up their swords and guns as quickly as possible.

The church, which was supposed to be blessed by God and save all sentient beings, once seemed like a strong wind passed through the country, igniting the flames of war—of course, they would say that this was a gift to believers and it was God's will.

It's a pity that because of the rejection and hunting of the black mages, Shanin Pyer relied on the potions provided by the pharmacists to do little in terms of logistics and medical treatment. Injuries cost far more than Abant.

The protracted war finally came to an end because neither party could benefit from each other. The last cluster of war was the battle brought by Zealand.After more than ten years, the short-lived peace made Sanin Paier regain prosperity.But I heard that Abant is about to move again recently, so Her Majesty the Queen turned her attention to the Church of Light.

Even if they can't get help from the other party, as long as the church is willing to be neutral, it will be the greatest help to Shannenpel.

But the negotiations with the church have not been smooth—the ambition of the Church of Light is obvious. They want to spread the teachings to every corner of the mainland. Well, to put it bluntly, they are building churches. wealth.

But this is the condition on which the queen is hesitant.The establishment of the church violated the rights and interests of the Masters Association, and the Masters Association was the foundation of Saninpel's foothold.

But Terrence knew that no matter how indecisive Her Majesty is now, she will eventually agree to the church's request - the years made her wise, but also consumed her sharpness.She needs an absolute victory over Abant, even if she has to compromise with the church.

Hearing Terrence's words, Virgil frowned: "Although it's not very good to say this, the church is like a greedy hungry wolf. They won't be easily satisfied. This is..."

In the middle of speaking, Virgil suddenly stopped, he realized that he was discussing the queen's actions.

But Terrence continued: "Seek skin with a tiger."

His expression remained unchanged, as if he had said a joke casually.Vergil looked at him with a little surprise. Although the little duke had already inherited the title, he was still too young to be in the court. Although the nobles respected him because of the difference in rank, they all regarded him as a child who could do nothing. look at.But looking at it now, although Terrence loves to play, he is by no means a child who doesn't understand anything.

Terrence ignored Virgil's gaze, he was thinking about other things.

Doesn't the queen know that negotiating with the church is not advisable?Of course not, but I am afraid that in the queen's view, there is no other way.

The war with Abant took place when the queen was just enthroned. The mages and warriors who died in the war could be piled up into a mountain of corpses beyond the city wall. The queen must still remember it vividly. Her decision was also for Shannen Pyle of the people.

However, such a compromise allowed the church to make progress. In the future, they would suppress the Mages Association and even intervene in the political affairs of the empire, just like Terrence did in his previous life.As strong as the people's faith is, so will the church's ambitions.Purity breeds evil, sunshine brings darkness.

Black Mage...

Terrence thought silently.

It is inevitable for black mages to be excluded. Most of their research on the road to immortality is full of blood, and their experiments are also full of evil.Hunted and killed by the secular world and the church, the black wizards have no inheritance, they can only rely on their own groping, and many people go further and further on such a path full of fog.

But the black mage's research on life magic is precious, and only they can compare with the priests of the church.

In the last life, Terrence found the black mage's handwriting in an abandoned castle, so it is very rare to become a black mage in the form of inheritance.But at that time, he was determined to use his power to take revenge. Although he controlled the Mage Association with one hand, he did not carry out rectification and changes, so that he was later caught by the Guangming Church.

This time, he should think about it.
