Chapter 53: The Female Marquis and the White Silk Knight

Hall’s words stunned Tarasha.

She suddenly realized she hadn’t considered this possibility.

The Salvation Church, what kind of organization was it? In its early years, it had even joined forces with the demon kings to fight against the Holy Church.

Originally, the relationship between the Kingdom of Cateline and the Salvation Church was very weak, and they would only have dealings when there were common interests.

After all, for the Kingdom of Cateline, they didn’t want the Papal State of the Holy Church to develop into a powerful existence that the other countries of the Western Continent couldn’t contend with.

And starting from seven or eight years ago, a new sage suddenly appeared in the Salvation Church, codenamed “Holy Son.” He and Mandosha Flower, who had not yet ascended to the position of sage, were a faction that was relatively close to the Kingdom of Cateline.

After Mandosha Flower ascended to the position of sage, the relationship between the Salvation Church and Cateline became even more prosperous.

And they provided more intelligence that Cateline needed.

They seemed to be working very hard.

But this intelligence, was there any false information in it?

After hearing Hall’s words, Tarasha couldn’t help but feel that it made sense.

Regarding the intelligence provided by the Salvation Church, they had only checked it in the first two years.

Because that Holy Son was simply prophetic, and the intelligence he provided was almost always accurate, so later they basically stopped conducting detailed checks.

Although that Holy Son had been of great help to the development of Cateline, and had even provided some information about the ancient frozen sea, the birthplace of the Eternal Winter Holy Sword Fimbul, they shouldn’t doubt the Salvation Church.

But unfortunately, three years ago, the seven sages of the Salvation Church, “Holy Son” and another sage “Angel,” suddenly fell in an operation that seemed to be directly related to the Holy Church and the legacy of the Demon God.

Since then, there has been no news, and the sage they were on good terms with, “Mandosha Flower,” also had her position in the Salvation Church impacted, and was gradually marginalized by the other sages.

So now, whether the intelligence provided by the Salvation Church was false was indeed a matter for discussion.

“What, you’ve discovered it too?”

Hall turned back and saw Tarasha standing under the birch tree with a hesitant look on her face.

He knew his words had had an effect. In the game’s plot, the system would always give the player the option of whether to fully trust the Salvation Church.

This showed that in the early stages of the plot, the trust between the Kingdom of Cateline and the Salvation Church was not rock-solid.

He could use this to break up the two forces that might have already secretly united.

Hall didn’t want the Northern Empress to take the joint route so early and then become an enemy of the Papal State. It was too early, and it would be difficult to save her if a fight broke out.

Besides being sought out by the Northern Empress to replenish mana, there was no second option.

Right now, there were no other heroines in the other party’s team. If something happened to the Northern Empress, according to the plot kill, he would definitely die before the heroine.

“But Baron Hall, you have no proof. How can I believe you? On the contrary, the Salvation Church has been cooperating with us for a long time. How can we believe your words…”

Tarasha was actually wavering, and Hall could see it.

So he pressed on.

“It’s impossible for you to believe me immediately, but why not try to believe me? When Duchess Tarasha returns to Saint Catherinesburg, there will naturally be a conclusion.”

Saint Catherinesburg was the capital of Cateline.

Hall’s words didn’t give a definitive conclusion, but they could indeed delay for a long time.

For the time being, let the Kingdom of Cateline be suspicious of the Salvation Church, and don’t let the Northern Empress get involved with the Salvation Church. If the Papal State doesn’t find out, then the heroine won’t be in danger.

By the time things were investigated, the time in between would be his development time.

“Perhaps you are right, but if I find out you are lying to me, Hall, you should understand the consequences.”

“I know, I know.”

Hall was very perfunctory.

What consequences?

No matter how angry Tarasha was, he was still the son of the Faxtius family, the son of a duke.

If the empress didn’t agree, Tarasha was no threat to him.

He had to get rid of her quickly.

And then Tarasha really left. She was not a hesitant person.

When she returned to Saint Catherinesburg, the first thing she would do was to check whether the information given by the Salvation Church in the past two years was correct. If it was roughly correct.

Then there was no need for the Salvation Church to lie to them about Hall.

“Hall, what was going on with you and Duchess Tarasha back then?”

After seeing off Tarasha, Himan also hurried over.

Just now, she saw Tarasha and Hall talking about something, and she had been near the teaching building on the side.

She only appeared when Tarasha had left quickly.

“Nothing, she wasn’t in good shape, I was lucky to win.”

He felt that the word “lucky” was really too useful.

“It’s definitely not you being lucky, Hall. She has a purpose. That woman definitely has a purpose. She was completely different when she was dealing with Andrei and when she was dealing with you. I can tell.”

Himan said earnestly, “You have to be careful.”

“I know.”

Hall nodded perfunctorily.

Himan got a little angry. “Don’t be so careless. She is obviously targeting you. You are still being investigated by the Judgment Bureau. If the Kingdom of Cateline has an ambiguous relationship with you and is caught by the Judgment Bureau, you will be even more difficult to escape from the blame. Although you are not wrong, this world is not always right even if you are not wrong.”

She sighed in her heart.

Since she decided to be a good only daughter of the Von Braun family, Himan had studied various situations that she needed to deal with as the daughter of a duke.

They were the backbone of the Papal State, the future of the Papal State. The spies of other countries wanted to destroy their generation the most.

Himan now even suspected.

The girl who had reported Hall before and later transferred to another country, could she be a spy from another country who was framing Hall?

The subsequent complaint letters were also the plots of other countries’ spy organizations.

Everything was too coincidental.

If the other party was not a spy from another country, how could it be impossible to find out where they had transferred to later?

Originally, Hall had a good reputation as a child. His swordsmanship and general schoolwork were both [A+], and he had even entered the Black Knight Order. Although he was not as eye-catching as his older sister, he was definitely a rising star.

How hateful!

Himan understood. All of this from three years ago must have been a conspiracy against Hall.

“Hall, are you listening to me? I’m serious. You’re in great danger now. Someone has been targeting you since three years ago. The Judgment Bureau is investigating you because of this. You must be careful.”

“Oh, okay, okay, I know.”

Hall nodded, showing his perfunctory attitude.

He had to be perfunctory. How could he make Himan leave him alone if he wasn’t perfunctory?

He felt that he had interacted with Himan a bit too much these past few days.

“Forget it, I hope you really know.”

Himan stomped her foot and, as expected, ran away.

She felt like she was playing the lute to a cow.

Hall was that cow!

Half an hour later.

Hall finally returned to the Faxtius family home.

At this moment, it was Friday afternoon.

He was planning to go to the Demon God’s Labyrinth to dig for treasure over the weekend.

But before he could start studying the difference between the map Himan had given him and the map from the game in his memory.

Lov came with an envelope engraved with a golden cross.

“Young Master, this is your letter.”

And his heart suddenly jumped. The golden cross was the symbol of the College of Cardinals.
