Chapter 515: Testing

Macdonald was very angry. He stood up and slapped the stone table in front of him so hard that it made the table clang.

"Aldrich, if you were a warrior, I would ask you to go outside and fight me right now."

His nostrils were snorting with anger. After shouting this sentence, he sat down on the stone bench again.

The reason why he was a little panicked after hearing that he was going to go against the Holy See was not because of his religious beliefs, but because of the reaction of a soldier who had experienced many battles and calmly considered the strength of the two parties.

Are these scholars who stay in the White Tower doing research all day long and have their brains broken?

"Oh, Lord Macdonald, I apologize to you. I was just provoking you, and I didn't really doubt your loyalty. As wise as you are, I must have seen it now."

Aldrich apologized to him with regret.

"In fact, you don't have to worry at all. Our strength is not as weak as you think. Our fellow casters have shown their strength in all aspects. I think as an imperial soldier, you have seen their strength. After gaining the ability, I will be happy to study the application of magic in military aspects.”

MacDonald calmed down a little, "What I'm worried about is not the church in the empire, but the Holy See standing behind it. In terms of performance in all aspects, the Holy See is not inferior to the powerful powers of the Empire, and there are also Support from fanatical believers from all over the mainland.”

"Haha, Lord Macdonald."

Jalvi took his words.

"There will be people who go to the Holy See water before us."

"who?"

"Horn Bay."

McDonald suddenly realized, "Could it be that you are behind the recent situation in Corner Bay... and are operating it?"

"Ahem, Lord Macdonald, it's not [you], it's [us] now."

Aldridge reminded him that now they were on the same page.

"You are right in your guess. The situation in Corner Bay has developed into what it is now, and our promoters are indeed playing a role in it. And it will become more and more intense until the Holy See is dragged into the water."

MacDonald doubted: "With the strength of those city-states, can they compete with the Holy See's army?"

Aldrich stroked his beard and laughed: "Hey, Mr. Macdonald, don't underestimate those fat-minded merchants in Cape Bay. They have controlled the trade between the East and the West for a long time and make a lot of money every year. They Have strong financial resources to support a high-quality The army is just trying to reduce their wallets, and once the battle approaches the seaside, their true ferocity will be revealed. Many maritime merchants are pirates behind the scenes. Skin."

"And we can open our eyes and carefully observe the performance of the Holy See, assess their strength, and then formulate corresponding countermeasures."

MacDonald's expression returned to normal, "It's cunning, but it's a solid strategy for us."

"In addition." Aldrich continued: "We will use the name of a country in the Horn Bay to disclose the existence of spell casters at the appropriate time, and publicly recognize the legal status of spell casters to the entire continent, so as to take a look at the status of each country. Reaction. If it doesn't cause a crowd to attack, then we will repeat this behavior in Gabeira - of course after His Royal Highness Antonio inherits the throne."

Macdonald asked: "What if it causes a siege from various countries?"

Aldrich replied: "No matter how countries react, it is beneficial to our plan. Lord Macdonald, you know, as long as the first country does this, then when the second country does it, , people’s psychological endurance or acceptance will be greatly improved, whether they agree or disagree.”

MacDonald is no longer as worried as before. He is now more and more curious about the so-called secret society, and his curiosity is mixed with a trace of awe.

Oh, and these two people in front of me... they can be regarded as my old friends, and they have done so many things quietly.

"One more thing, does your Majesty know about this?"

Macdonald asked with some worry. Strictly speaking, the current emperor was the one he should be loyal to. If he didn't know anything, wouldn't he, Aldrich, and Alvi have become a quarrel between ministers? collude with each other.

"I don't know!" Aldrich's quick reply made McDonald nervous.

The old bachelor said melancholy: "Bartley... is an upright but old-fashioned man. His character is not suitable for sitting on this throne. It must be said that this is the result of his father's shaping, so as not to treat him badly." The elder brother who was supposed to inherit the throne posed a threat. Luck caused his brother to leave early, and Battery was pushed to inherit the throne. Of course, Battery was very smart, and he had a very good grasp of how to be a qualified ruler in theory, but he was in trouble. Disliked many of them in practice.”

"That's not to say that his character is not good. In fact, I like and admire his character very much. But if Bartley knows about this, he will definitely find a way to talk to the Holy See. He ideally believes that ——Faced with such a matter of human life and death, the Holy See will abandon its long-standing prejudices and choose to reconcile with the wizards to resist the common enemy. Oh, Lord MacDonald..."

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

Aldridge saw the look MacDonald was looking at, "Please don't doubt it, because I have tried to test him indirectly. Please believe in the art of speaking skills of an old scholar in the White Tower when exploring the true attitude of others."

At this point, Aldridge shook his head regretfully, "Alas... I am afraid that he will be frank with the Holy See. If Bartley can be like his son - any one of them will do - how much easier it will be for me."

MacDonald hesitated and said, "But no matter what, His Majesty is a hurdle we can't get around. This country belongs to him."

"It belongs to him, and in the future it will belong to his son." Aldridge's eyes became cold, and he said in a low voice: "Compared with the crisis of the extinction of human civilization, personal feelings and old morals are insignificant. But no matter what, I will ensure that the country of Gabela will be passed down in Bartley's bloodline."

After saying this, sadness, guilt, determination, firmness and other emotions flashed across the old scholar's face.

Yarvi patted MacDonald on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "His Highness Antonio will not embarrass his father. He will get the respect and status he deserves. Please rest assured."

MacDonald lowered his head, as if he was thinking for a long time. He raised his head and looked at the two bachelors, then said firmly:

"Mr. Aldridge and Mr. Yarvi, thank you for everything you have done for Gabela and for mankind."

"I feel very honored to be able to personally participate in your cause."
