Throne of the North

"Valente Meyers."

"The eldest son of the second son of Grand Duke Meyers celebrated his 24th birthday in the Dukedom at the beginning of this year. As a father of two children, his nightmare breathing technique has reached the strength of a golden knight."

"Three years ago, at the banquet of Valente's wedding, Grand Duke Meyers personally attended and praised him, saying that he was the pride of the Meyers family."

"This is the sixth member of the Meyers family to be praised in thirty years."

On the Rhinoceros Horn Mountain, Ryan listened to the report of Alfie Clayton, who had black hair and red eyes next to him.

The latter came from the Clayton family. Of course, he has now sworn allegiance to Baron Ryan and is responsible for information statistics beside Ryan.

It must be said that those who have received internal education among the nobles are easy to use. Whether in terms of loyalty in attitude or work ability, they are top-notch.

"Alfie, who do you think killed such a noble who is about to become a sky knight?"

"Don't be too restrained. It doesn't matter if you say our emperor."

Ryan said with a smile.

"But of course it can't be His Majesty the Emperor. The most likely possibility is still the staff of the Church."

"But aren't they in the Marquisate? That legendary knight, can't even keep an eye on them?"

"Or are there other staff of the Church who I don't even know about coming to the North Wind Province?"

...

Bang!

The heavy table flew out in front of the sacred glow. Adriana stared angrily at the figure in the dark cloak standing outside the door, not daring to take a step forward.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, may the Lord forgive me for concealing you."

The Archbishop with big red hair became even more wavy in anger.

"Without my will, what rights do you have to kill the descendants of the Meyers family?"

"Black Swan? You demons from hell, do you know how much trouble it will cause to kill a noble?"

"I want to force the Marquis of the North Wind, the blasphemer of my Lord, to confess his guilt, and you have ruined it all."

Outside the door, the eyes under the cloak raised their heads, looked at the cross of light on the door frame, and then bowed their heads in piety and awe.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, we are here to kill these blasphemers on the orders of the Pope."

"Your Excellency the Pope knew that they would arrive in the North Wind Province. We followed them all the way just to use their blood in their territory to water the glory of our Lord."

"The descendant of the Meyers family blasphemed our Lord, so he must die."

Adriana snorted coldly. She was not afraid of the Pope mentioned by the other party.

"Tell me, why is the Pope so angry?"

"On the battlefield in the south, the imperial army attacked fiercely. Thirty thousand believers of our Lord have entered the kingdom of heaven in advance to serve our Lord."

"Including the three Archbishops, His Excellency Miranda, who is known as the favored one of the sky, died in the hands of the Light of Meyers, the 'warrior'."

"Miranda... is dead."

Adriana was a little shocked. She vaguely remembered that he was a proud guy. His faith was not actually pious, but the favor of the Lord fell on him. It was extremely strong.

There are many rumors in the Church that he is the Lord's rebellious child.

This is a description that proves Chenxi's doting on Miranda.

No wonder the Pope is so angry. Miranda is a candidate for the Cardinal and a strong contender for the Pope's successor.

His father is also a retired Cardinal.

"Has the war reached this point?"

Archbishop Adriana could not hide her shock. She knew some inside information. The purpose of the Church's war was to deepen the faith cohesion of various kingdoms and nobles.

Over the years, the glory of the Lord has been restored more and more slowly because of the blasphemer of the Empire, which has caused the kingdoms and nobles in the southern land to have thoughts.

The Church needs a war to let these kingdoms and nobles understand that they are not qualified to imitate the Empire, and the Empire that blasphemes the faith will also be destroyed in front of them.

The final goal is not now. The war launched by the Church is only for the first goal.

The beginning of the war will make those kingdoms no longer think about trying to expel the glory of the Dawn.

"The Empire sent ten extraordinary legions from the north into the Thousand Lakes Province. The most important one was the expeditionary force from the deep sea of ​​the west coast, the 'plunderer' Les Legion that brought countless wealth to the west coast."

Adriana was silent. There was only one extraordinary legion named after a person in the world.

But even the archbishop who believed in the dawn stopped talking, because that person was the first blasphemer in the world.

After he blasphemed, he was still alive. It was after this person that the nobles woke up and began to imitate him to plunder the divinity lost by the gods in the war.

The nobles became powerful from then on.

"We came to the northern border of the empire this time to kill those pioneers who blasphemed our Lord. We will receive orders directly from the Pope, so the Archbishop cannot order us."

"The glory of our Lord will surely illuminate this dark land."

Adriana couldn't help but say:

"The people on this land will eventually become believers of our Lord. You... can only kill those pioneers of light."

This time, the figure that had gradually disappeared did not answer, but called out devoutly:

“We walk in the darkness, we serve the morning.”

“We minister the glory of the Lord in the darkness, before the light of morning dispels the darkness.”

His words had made it very clear that this action was not under the control of the archbishop in front of him.

"Wait a minute, there's someone you can't touch."

Adriana shouted that she did not want Baron Lane to die at the hands of these people.

…

"The elders once doubted whether Archbishop Adriana's faith was still pious. After arriving in the north, she did not send back any good news for a long time."

"The empire is the enemy of the Holy See, and the glory of our Lord cannot be blasphemed."

"While receiving the papal order, the elder asked us to test whether the archbishop's beliefs have changed."

"She mentioned the baron..."

"Then...go find the baron."

"See if he is a white swan or a black swan."

From the shadows of the dense forest, there came a whisper that sounded like a demon.

"We serve the morning light."

"We walk in darkness."

"We wander in lakes of eternal night and dawn."

"One day, we will become white swans entering the kingdom of heaven in the morning light."

"Praise my Lord."

In the dense forest, the light seemed to be much dimmed. A hare raised his head in a daze, and the next moment his head rolled to the side as the shade of the tree swayed.
