Throne of the North

One of the only nine cardinals of the Holy See died in public, next to the emperor of the Flor Empire.

In short, this matter has become a big deal.

"Ah!!!"

Over there, the leader of the Holy Heavenly Knights, Damon Reina, who was standing in place, rushed towards Columbus III like crazy.

"You Flor Empire actually killed the cardinal of my Holy See!!!"

His voice was deafening, resounding through the sky and the earth. Even the people in the imperial capital outside the palace looked at this side in shock, horrified by the news revealed in this angry and sad voice.

This leader of the Knights is very powerful, more terrifying than ordinary legends, but this is the palace, and he can't rush to Columbus III after all.

The space magic turned into a cage, and vines that even legends couldn't tear apart grew under the earth to seal it tightly, and then iron chains fell and covered Damon's body. In just a moment, the power of this legend was completely sealed.

But he was still struggling, and the front was broken, and the hideous and angry face stared at Columbus III.

In the imperial capital, only one thousand Holy Heavenly Knights, one tenth of the total number, rushed out of the abandoned church where they were, fearlessly killing towards the palace, alarming countless people.

But soon, several legends took action, and the thousand Holy Heavenly Knights were also suppressed, and no one dared to kill them.

"Humph! What a great church, it actually used the death of a cardinal to frame the Flor Empire!"

The voice of Columbus III also ran through the inside and outside of the palace. This emperor was also forcibly piled up with resources and divinity to the rank of legend.

Ryan felt that although this was the fact, Columbus III's explanation seemed a little pale and powerless.

Why? Because there is never a lack of smart conspirators in the world. They will not believe that the cardinal died by himself. They have many ways to prove that the death of the cardinal is inseparable from the empire.

At that time, they would gather in groups of three or five, drink some wine, and start a discussion with different opinions.

No matter what the final result of the discussion is, it will be disadvantageous to the empire.

Because the cardinal is dead, but the emperor of the empire is still alive.

It's that simple. No one thinks that the cardinal's life can be compared with Columbus III. If there is a comparison, it should be the pope himself, but in this case, who would not put aside the facts?

The cardinal's status and position are enough to start a war.

This is why when the other party fell from the high platform before, no one in the circle of nobles moved, because no matter who of them moved and approached that side, I am afraid that in the end it would become that noble who attacked the cardinal.

In order to ensure the stability of the empire and the majesty of the Columbus royal family, as long as there is a choice, the royal family must not be humiliated.

But which of the nobles present is willing to be a scapegoat?

Do you really think that there is only a contradiction between the empire and the church in the world?

So, Columbus III stood alone, and he was watched by everyone.

As proud as he was before, the emperor of the empire was in a gloomy mood at this moment.

The entire Holy Heavenly Knights, including Captain Damon, were imprisoned in the empire's prison. Then the empire issued a statement that the cardinal died in the palace. No one attacked him. The cause of death was that he activated a certain artifact that wanted to kill the emperor of the Flor Empire, but was backfired and his vitality was exhausted.

But just as Ryan thought, it was useless.

There were many people who believed it, but the farther away from the imperial capital, the fewer people would believe this half-true and half-false statement. They only wanted to believe what they wanted to see in their hearts, that is, the cardinal died in the hands of the empire.

That evening, in the east of the empire, a terrible extraordinary army appeared in the empire and rushed directly to the direction of the imperial capital province.

The Feather Dragon Army, an extraordinary army formed by cultivating a subspecies of dragons in the church, they look similar to dragons, but they are covered with snow-like feathers.

The eight thousand Yulong Legion flew for less than three hours, crossing many provinces of the empire and appearing at the foot of the imperial capital. Their speed was so fast that people wondered whether the Holy See had already prepared such an extraordinary legion to be stationed in the Andara Kingdom, waiting for this day to arrive at the imperial capital at the fastest speed.

The Flor Empire did not stop it. This extraordinary legion only took away the body of the cardinal, Tang Walter. At the same time, the one thousand Holy Heavenly Knights led by Damon were also released and left the empire on their own and returned to the Holy Mountain of the Holy See.

During the whole process, both sides performed very smoothly, but everyone understood that this was the calm before the storm.

"Why is that legion going north?"

Ryan was puzzled. The Holy Mountain of the Holy See was still in the southwest of the southern land, but now the Holy Heavenly Knights led by Damon were heading north.

"Maybe... they are going to act with the Yulong Legion."

Ryan guessed so.

The Grace Festival ended so hastily. Ryan had not waited for the Vatican to respond to the incident, but the Countess found him first.

"Ryan, your mother asked me to help you arrange some noble women. After a few days of selection, I finally found some suitable candidates."

Countess Ellie waved her hand, and a maid brought a tray with a few clean papers on it. On the papers were written some names and their background identities.

"Let's take a look at the first one first. She has the best conditions."

"Avril Melendez, the daughter of the Viscount family, is a Viscount family of Calais Province. They have a relatively normal relationship with our Clayton family. They are on the edge of the province, close to Volga Province and Blazing Snow Province, which is the junction of three provinces. With this geographical location, the Melendez family is considered to be in the middle and upper ranks among the Viscounts of the entire empire."

"Their family has a lot of wealth. If you can marry Avril, the youngest daughter of the Viscount family, your territory will get a very good dowry. It is not too far from the North, and she should be able to adapt to the environment of the frozen land territory."

"At the same time, she is also a student of the Magic Academy, two years younger than you."

On the back of the paper, a gentle-looking woman is hand-painted. She frowns slightly, as if staring at the distant sky. The sunlight above her head falls through the gaps between the leaves and scatters around her, like a butterfly flashing in the light.

Conforms to normal aesthetics.

"The second one is Nishi Hoover. The Hoover family is also a very powerful noble bloodline in the empire. Over a long period of time, the Hoover family has many nobles. The family that Nishi belongs to is a baron family, and she is the eldest daughter of the baron."

"Her family is in..."

For three hours, Ryan listened to the countess's endless description of the twelve noble daughters.

This marriage is not only related to Ryan and the future changes of the frozen land, but also represents a political marriage between nobles. Ryan believes that before finding him, the countess must have greeted the noble ladies behind the women on the list.

"The Melendez family... has a ship?"

Ryan asked curiously.
