Chapter 982: One Wave Comes After Another

Jesolini XXIII's movements were faster than Tang En expected. On the same day after everyone had discussed and returned, he conveyed the message of the Holy See of Light to the Bishop of the Church of Psalm City through divine magic.

When Bishop Thatcher received the Pope's decree, he even doubted whether the news was true or false. He even asked the Pope again to confirm whether the news was true or false. The Pope's decree hurried to the palace, found Klein, and conveyed the Pope's message.

"What!?"

As Tang En expected, Klein became furious after learning what the Pope meant: "How dare he do this!? He is blatantly interfering in our internal affairs! They are forcing me to take action in advance!"

After Thatcher was asked to step down, a minister whispered: "Your Majesty, instead of angering the Holy See of Light, it is better to think about how this news was leaked..."

After speaking, the minister glanced at Marquis Hogman standing next to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Marquis Hogman's heart tightened, but if he reacted abnormally now, it would be easier to expose himself, so he pretended not to know anything and stood there expressionless without saying a word.

whispering sound!

This old man is quite able to keep his composure!

"Duke Caton, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that there are spies from other countries in the throne room?"

As an ambitious king, it is certainly impossible for Klein to be unaware of the dirty affairs of his nobles. Just as Marquis Hogman was worried, his "undercover" status had actually been discovered by Klein.

But Klein knew very well that without Marquis Hogman, there were other undercover agents. Instead of killing Marquis Hogman and then going to trouble to find other spies, it would be better to leave it alone, at least under the radar. It was also clear what he had done underneath.

The art of the emperor is not that simple. Sometimes you have to pretend not to know that the person in front of you is your enemy, and you even have to deliberately give some sweetness and trust to appease the opponent.

Even Klein often used the Hogman family to deliver some false news to the Illus Empire. In the past, Victor was often disturbed by the news from Marquis Hogman, and made many wrong judgments and decisions, which greatly affected him. Influenced the development of the Illus Empire.

This shows how important the Hogman family's irreplaceable strategic position is in Solant...

It is precisely because of this that even if Duke Caton intends to expose the identity of Marquis Hogman, he must now defend Marquis Hogman, because next he will use Marquis Hogman to convey his intention to Tang En.

"I didn't mean that. I was just worried that someone would betray Your Majesty!"

Duke Caton can sit in his current position. Wouldn't he understand Klein's thoughts? That's certainly impossible.

The reason why he knew and still stood up to speak out was partly because he wanted to show his loyalty to Klein, and partly because he sensed a threat and hoped to force Klein to make a decision as soon as possible, whether it was war or peace. Don't put it off any longer.

The rise of the Ilrus Empire is too fast. If it continues to develop at the current pace, within half a year, the Ilrus Empire will grow into a monster. By that time, Klein wants to conquer Ilrus The Sri Lankan Empire is simply impossible.

Since his daughter Shanelli Caton married Klein, Duke Caton's family has long been tied to Klein's Solant Kingdom. The Solant Kingdom prospered, the Caton family prospered, and the Solant Kingdom died. , the Caton family died, so he must be anxious.

"I naturally know this matter well, I don't need you to worry about me!"

Klein blocked Duke Caton back with one sentence. He said meaningfully: "I know Duke Caton's loyalty very well. Listen to me. I will not treat anyone who is willing to follow me badly." Even if you are a traitor, I will not let go of the traitor who cheats you!"

After listening to Klein's words, Duke Caton knew that his show of loyalty had been seen by Klein, and it was time to give up. So Duke Caton bowed and said, "I have overstepped my bounds."

Although Duke Caton stopped talking, other people's questions have not yet been answered.

Now that the Holy See of Light has forced them to set an example, the Solant Kingdom, as a country of the Holy See of Light, must still respect the Pope's wishes, so it must give a clear answer.

All the ministers lowered their heads and waited for Klein to speak.

Is it a war? Or peace?

Klein was thinking rapidly in his mind. The position of the Holy See of Light this time was very strange. In the past, matters related to the Chaos God Religion had always been handled in a low-key manner. Stability was more important than anything else, but this time it was different. The Pope's attitude was very firm and demanded Let them disclose the information, and at the same time organize the Templar Knights to solve the problems in Lor'themar City...

The Holy See of Light obviously wants Klein to disclose the affairs of Lorthemar City, but this kind of thing is not good for the Holy See of Light. If he really wants to talk about it, his reputation will be affected, and Ilrus The empire may gain certain benefits from this...

"In other words, is it Tang En who is standing behind you?"

Klein's eyes were cold: "It's him, it's him again!"

The matter of the new version of currency has made Klein very anxious. That matter has not yet been resolved. Now the matter of Lor'themar City is on the table again. It is obvious that Tang En is behind it!

Klein gritted his teeth in anger and wished he could drag Tang En out and kill him on the spot!

But, not yet – not the best opportunity yet!

The new magic equipment developed by the Hohenheim family has not yet been completed. Now Solant has nothing that can resist the magic equipment of the Illus Empire. If he starts a war rashly now, the winning rate is too low!

It's time to urge the Hohenheim family!

The most important reason why Klein is so confident is because the Hohenheim family is a member of the Solant Kingdom. Relying on the powerful alchemy strength of the Hohenheim family, it is entirely possible for them to secretly transport the magic equipment. It can be reversely dismantled and restored with magic energy machinery, and similar things can even be imitated to fight against the Illrus Empire.

As long as everything goes smoothly for them, Klein will show his fangs and make the entire Purandal tremble under him!

Just as Klein was about to deliver the order, a close subordinate rushed in from outside with a look of horror on his face, shouting: "Your Majesty! It's an emergency!"

Klein was furious and wanted to slap the man to death, but considering that he was his trusted subordinate, he forcibly restrained his impulse and asked patiently with a cold face: "What's the matter! ?”

"The Lord of the City of Silver, Master Jean sent a request for a meeting!"

The man said with a shocked look on his face: "Master Jean is waiting for your answer in the living room right now!"

Master Jean actually came to the Solant Kingdom! ?

Klein was delighted for a moment and then calmed down.

Something's wrong!

This is really wrong!

The City of Silver has always been a neutral camp and does not interfere in the internal affairs of countries. Master Jean rarely appears in public and rarely even leaves the City of Silver. He has almost never been to the Song City before, even if he has been here. , he must have come secretly, how could he appear in an official capacity so solemnly this time, and even issue a request for a meeting! ?

It just so happens that it appears right now, after the Holy See of Light conveys the Pope’s will! ?

Intuition told Klein that Master Jean's purpose of coming may also be related to the city of Lor'themar!

But no matter what, Klein did not dare to neglect Master Jean's request. No matter how unhappy he was, he could only endure it until the end.

"Please come quickly!"

Even though he knew it was an old man coming, Klein still had to suppress his joy and welcome this old man in with a smile.

Because he is Jean, the lord of the City of Silver, a legendary hero of mankind, and an unrivaled legendary mage!

Soon Jean came to the throne room. In order to show enough respect, Klein even took Queen Shanali to the door and took the ministers to greet Jean.

The slovenly Gene did not arouse too much curiosity in Klein. He had known about Gene's problem a long time ago. However, some ministers who did not know the truth saw that a group of them were greeted by such a terrible person. The old men all looked at each other.

The legendary hero of mankind actually has this kind of virtue?

Klein took the initiative to greet him, stretched out his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome Master Jean to the Anthem City. Master did not say hello in advance before coming. I will make proper arrangements and fulfill my friendship as a landlord!"

Gene glanced at him, smiled meaningfully, ignored Klein's enthusiastic initiative, walked straight to the throne, then pulled out a stool and sat there.

Klein froze there. Queen Shanali glanced at him nervously, and then said to Jean with a smile: "Is Master Jean dissatisfied with the king? Could it be that he encountered something in the Song City?" Something unhappy?”

Shanelli tried to find a topic to resolve Klein's embarrassment, but Jean did not give him face and said lightly: "The Queen is polite. It's not that it's as complicated as the Queen thought, but I kind of admire Her Majesty Klein." It’s a secret method.”

Sure enough, he came to Lor'themar City!

Klein's heart thumped, and he secretly thought something was wrong. He turned around and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what Master Jean said?"

"It's already this time, do you still want to pretend to be stupid?"

Jean dug his ears, crossed his right leg over his left leg, and said with emotion: "Five years... You have hidden the matter of Lor'themar City from the entire Plandar for five years! Klein Your Majesty, you are really resourceful!"

Gene turned around and suddenly shouted: "Now that it has become a dead city, you still persist in your stubbornness!?"

"The Chaos God's Cult is the enemy of the entire Order camp. Are you trying to protect the Chaos God's Cult!?"
