Chapter 342： Ambition

Colin suddenly thought, would Archbishop Adjani have any contact with the royal family?

Thus, he seemed to inadvertently raise his hands to his chest, palms facing inward, fingers intertwined, forming a lotus-like handprint.

Then, he carefully observed Adjani's reaction.

However, Colin was disappointed.

After seeing this handprint, Ajani only showed doubts on her face, without any other expressions.

This mudra was shown to him after Queen Midella and Colin "allied", and said that seeing this mudra is someone who can be trusted.

But obviously, Adjani is not an ally of the royal family.

Colin immediately put away his fingerprints, put his hands on his chest, and said with a smile: "I think you should go to the royal family. They are more interested in the pope's black material."

Adjani shook her head and said, "Your Excellency, Viscount, you are wrong. The royal family is clear about the church's depravity and is also willing to fight the church, but they will never agree to make this truth public.

If I go to the door, I will end up with a similar fate to the Black Emperor. "

"Sorry, your Excellency, I don't want to end up like the Black Emperor." Colin shrugged and refused directly. "We two will definitely not escape the chase of the church and the Paladin family even if we disclose this truth. Kill, and we will be vilified as lunatics and blasphemers. No one will believe our words."

"Your Excellency, I am not a stupid person. Before I have enough strength, I will certainly not disclose this truth.

And the reason why I chose you as a partner is that you are not a member of the Paladin family, but you have the potential to dominate a realm, or even a larger territory! "

"Your Excellency, you look at me too high." Colin's expression remained indifferent.

"No." Ajani's eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and her tone was also a touch of bewitching, "You are now the guardian of the north, and I also know that the half-elf kingdom is also in yours. Under control, and even in the future, you will march eastward, defeat the Pegasus Legion again, and march into Bailu City is not impossible.

However, have you ever thought about a problem.

Even if one day you really conquer the east, can the Anglia family become a duke family? "

There was a movement in Colin's heart, as if she understood what Ajani wanted to say.

"Your Excellency, the dukedom of the empire has never been granted to anyone who is not a paladin family! No matter what dazzling feat he has made!

I know your talent is amazing, you are already a Tier 5 knight at a young age, but do you think you can become a Paladin? "

Colin did not answer.

However, he felt that if he could absorb the blood of the Paladin, it might not be impossible to set foot in the sanctuary.

"It's not that I attacked you, but in the history of the empire for more than a thousand years, there has never been a person from a paladin family who has set foot in the sanctuary!

I don't know what secrets exist in this.

However, I think no matter how talented you are, you can't break this shackle.

So, even if you become a Tier 6 knight, how different is it from Lucien, a Tier 6 warrior?

He is attached to Earl Schultz, and you are also inseparable from the St. Hild family!

Even if one day you lead your army to conquer the East, the Anglia family will never become the lord of the East! "

Colin squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What on earth are you trying to say?"

Ajani walked a few steps closer, staring into Colin's eyes, and said seriously: "Aren't you always asking me why I chose you as a partner?

This is the real reason.

Because you are not a member of the Paladin family!

The current belief system based on deception, the least hope to see it collapse, in fact, only the church and the paladin family.

Therefore, they will work together to conceal the truth and prevent a crisis of faith.

However, as a descendant of the non-Paladin family, Viscount Anglia, even if a crisis of faith occurs, the faith system of the Glorious Church will collapse. Is it really a bad thing for you?

Without the power of faith, there would be no priest.

Without the priest, no new knight can be born, and naturally there will be no more paladins!

Without the Paladin, why would the current royal family and the four major families stand at the top of the empire?

Why can't the Anglia family become a duke? even…"

Adjani suddenly stopped talking, but Colin had completely understood what she meant.

At the same time, he also saw clearly the true face hidden under the pious appearance of Adjani—

That face is covered with something called ambition!

Moreover, he was also frightened by Ajani's madness.

This woman looks holy, tranquil, and compassionate, but in fact, she is a crazy careerist who can't wait for the world to be in chaos!

Seeing Colin's silence, Adjani thought he had moved, but she couldn't make up her mind yet, so she tempted again:

"Your Excellency, the battle between the royal family and the church is our best opportunity!

This trip to the Royal Dragon City, presumably Emperor Reinhardt must have encouraged you to march into the east, right?

To tell you the truth, the Pope's crown has repeatedly instructed me to prevent the Northern Army from successfully attacking Bailu City.

However, if you and I cooperate, I can help you block all the pressure from the church and promise you a stable rear, so that you can also march into the east without any distractions.

As long as we conquer the eastern realm and hold the two realms in our hands, we will have the capital that is not afraid of the church and the royal family! "

Colin sneered and said, "Your Excellency, did you forget that there are still two paladins in the Empire now. They will sit back and watch us shake the foundation of the entire knight system?"

Adjani confidently said, "Your Excellency, have you forgotten that there is also a force in the East that can oppose the Paladin."

"Yevel?" Colin's face changed, and he realized something in an instant, and said immediately, "So you are in the same group as Mr. Cougar!"

Adjani smiled suddenly, her beautiful face like a peach blossom.

"Your Excellency, are you confident in our plan now?"

Obviously, Adjani had acquiesced to Colin's guess.

Colin lowered his head, various thoughts circulating in his mind.

He didn't expect that the lingering Mr. Coward had already quietly reached into the church, and also bought high-level figures like the Archbishop of the North.

No wonder he dared to take the bishop of Swan City abducted or even blatantly kill him, and he was not worried that he would attract revenge from the church.

Adjani will inevitably cover him and help him through the weakest period of time.

And now, they actually hit Colin with their idea again, wanting to win over the actual northern controller.

I have to say that Colin was a little moved.

He suddenly realized that this was indeed a good opportunity.

Originally, Colin was caught between the royal family and the church, and both parties in the struggle were trying to win him over, but they both wanted him to be a sword in their hands. Now that a third party is added, Colin has even more room for choice. , The space for reaping the source of both sides and shifting turnover will be broader.

At least, if Ajani and Colin reach a secret agreement, then he doesn't need to worry that when he advances to the east, the church will make trouble in the north and drag him back.

Of course, Colin was still very wary of Mr. Colin and Adjani. These two people were not kind. They fancy Colin, and just wanted him to be his own tool.

"I wonder if I can meet Mr. Colin's side?" Colin asked tentatively.

Adjani hesitated, but she nodded and said: "I will convey your intention to Mr. Cougar, but you must also know that Prince Leahy is also in the northern border at the moment, and he is chasing after him. It is convenient to show up, so I may not be able to arrange a meeting with you in the near future."

"I can understand." Colin smiled faintly, and didn't say much.

He knows, UU reading www. uukanshu.com itself probably hasn't really gained the trust of the other party.

"By the way, can you help remove the magical technique Vera used?"

Adjani shook her head and said, "Sorry, your sir, that is a magical technique performed personally under the crown of the Pope. Only he can release it. However, you don't have to worry. With me in the north, the church will never be your constraint. I will never use Lord Duke to trouble you."

"That's good." Colin nodded. In fact, this is the biggest reason why he is willing to cooperate with Adjani.

As for how the relationship between the two parties will develop in the future, will it be overturned? Let's talk about it in the future.

Colin was confident that by that time, he should already have more confidence in the opponent's face-to-face contest.

"Happy cooperation!" Ajani stretched out her white tender hand and smiled.

Colin also held the opponent's hand, showing a bright smile:

"Happy cooperation!"
