"It's okay to tell you. After the death of "The Hunter King", the survivors of the "West Wind" began to move underground... But recently they started to appear again. According to our intelligence, they seem to be planning to accept a long-term employment from a great noble within the empire. "

"Is this to prepare for the civil war? After all, Prime Minister Osborne's action is not only to disarm Liber, but also to deter the nobles in the country... Therefore, they want to fight back."

"I don't know much about the politics of the empire... It's up to you to judge." Ain said, "but even we understand that the empire is about to enter an unstoppable frenzy. Once the gears of history begin Turning it will crush all the people and things that dare to block it...Under this circumstance, it becomes difficult for our hands to enter the empire."

"That's it... So you hope to cooperate with me, a native of the empire, by providing help to me, to obtain relevant intelligence on the empire and the trends that you are concerned about?" Heliga suddenly realized, "But I still I don’t understand...what are you planning for deploying these intelligence networks to the empire like this?"

"For what? Isn't this asking you knowingly?" Ain sneered. "The "Gospel Project" was just the beginning. Next, the action of association is likely to turn to the empire. "

"...That's the same. Since Libel has the treasure of "emptiness" here, it is not surprising that there are also treasures sleeping in the Empire. Heliga expressed his understanding, "And based on our previous judgments, the leader of the reformists, "Iron Prime Minister" Osborn, seems to have an unexplainable relationship with "Association"... Is this also because of this? you guys……"

"That's right. The church must not excessively interfere in the affairs of the state and the government. This is the bottom line that the "Canonized Province" has repeatedly emphasized. Therefore, no matter what, we cannot launch public activities with the government or express such wishes. But if you are there, it might have a peculiar effect. You have power. Since the power can be affirmed by people like the archbishop, then it must be fine. What's more, according to my investigation, your situation seems to be very special... Neutral aristocratic father, in this era of large-scale conflicts between reformers and aristocrats, the existence of your family is itself a Special case. If you cooperate with you, many things will become much easier. "

"...You are putting me in embarrassment..." Heliga sighed, "The empire is so big, the various forces are intertwined, the composition is complicated, and all of them have been in the empire for decades, even A huge power with hundreds of years of foundation...Even if I am not an ordinary person, but the truth is that "open guns are easy to hide from hidden arrows, but hard to defend." You don't know the truth? "

"Of course I know... We are not the only one who helps the empire... including the mysterious family who worked with us hundreds of years ago. If you are interested, I can let you meet... and I Think, don’t you realize it? Once the empire begins an irreversible wave of craziness, and a helpless force like your family, and unwilling to stand on either side, they can only be like a small boat swaying in the storm... It is still unknown whether you can survive it. Even if you are strong and can guarantee your own safety, this does not mean that you can guarantee the safety of your loved family and friends. That's why you need a strong backing like "we". "

"..." Heliga did not answer, but fell into contemplation and analysis of interests.

Ain is right... His family is not like the Alside family, as the martial arts giants, the spirit of self-cleansing... Unlike some northern lords, they have a good relationship with the royal family and let the great nobles We dare not act rashly. With social changes and times changing, the existence of aristocrats may already have a fierce contradiction with the changing needs and ideologies of the imperial people. I am afraid that the aristocracy’s removal from history will be inevitable...Under such circumstances, father He reluctantly chose to compromise with the Duke's family-but once something went wrong, the father who was not a member of his inner circle of interests would probably be the first to be thrown out.

This is the so-called thanklessness.

Over the years, I don’t know how many similar nobles have encountered the same fate. Heliga was unwilling to let her family suffer that end.

So, is Qi Yao Church a good choice?

On political status... Although the church ostensibly claims that it never interferes in the internal affairs of any country, in fact, no matter which country’s internal chaos is, their participation is indispensable. They retain the political power to declare the legality of autonomous prefectures, and they also have the right to judge certain countries and forces as "heretics"—more importantly, they are the most influential religion in the world on the mainland— -The name "Goddess of Sky" has been spread all over the world.

As for the force... the opponent's "association" has the strength to beat Liber's army to the point of misery, so where can the "church" go? Even if the surface strength is not comparable to the iron torrent of the Empire and the Republic, it is definitely a powerful force. Apart from other things, the church has collected it under various names. There are so many different kinds of "ancient relics" that any force can drink.

In this situation...Do you still have a choice?

Rather, if you change to other similar nobles who have gone abroad, knowing that you can cooperate with the "Seven Lunar Church" and have the opportunity to receive its powerful asylum... I'm afraid that you have already rushed to it?

"...I have no choice, do I?" Heliga shrugged helplessly. He looked at Ain, who showed a Ruowuruowu smile.

"It seems that an agreement can be reached... Hehe, it is worthwhile to take time out of my busy schedule to meet with you... Generally, the heads of major countries and autonomous prefectures who can get me this treatment, as well as various organizations, have a good face. Character."

"Then I should feel honored, shouldn't it?" Heliga responded half-truth, not knowing whether he was mocking or admiring, "but I can say in advance... if it is information that can be obtained by personally. I can still help. But if it is to use the relationship, ask for information from certain people, or negotiate... I may not have the patience and ability."

"I understand. We who chose a teenager like you to cooperate, naturally did not expect you to give back how much information feedback... But we will have our own instructions in the future. You just have to pay attention to it when the time comes."

"I understand." Heliga nodded slightly.

"Let’s do this—the connection between us is a secret. Both the content and the time should only be known to you and I—Of course, I know you will not hide the little girl next to you, so her words are up to you. That's it. Oh yes... if you still have a chance to meet your old friend..."

"Huh?" Ain's voice hesitated, and Heliga felt a little strange.

"...Forget it." Shaking his head, Ain gave up and continued talking, "I still have things to do. Let Kevin tell you the next details. Goodbye."

After speaking, the image on the other side of the screen was completely dark.
