The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

February 1st.

The coldest season in Dameia.

It is also the last month of winter.

After this month, it will be spring.

Passing by the door, Professor Palmer took out a letter from the mailbox and looked down at the exquisite gold-plated envelope.

The name of Pope Austin was embossed on the surface of the white envelope. Professor Palmer did not dare to despise it and hurried to Count Otto's study in the innermost part of the villa.

Pushing the door open, he walked in and said softly:

"Mr. Earl, there is a letter for you."

"Come in, professor. Whose?" Count Otto said to Professor Palmer who was standing at the door, with one arm still falling on his chest.

Professor Palmer held the letter and said solemnly: "Pope Austin."

Then he put the letter on Count Otto's desk and stood opposite, waiting for Count Otto's next step.

Count Otto was stunned, with a strange expression on his face, and said:

"It seems that things have come to fruition. Let me see."

He opened the envelope, revealing the exquisite letter paper with gold edges inside, and Count Otto read it carefully.

Roy Z. Otto, a citizen of order:

God has forgiven you.

Your fear of order will gain supreme glory.

You can recognize yourself in darkness and sin, and still be fearless in the face of death. You are a well-deserved warrior.

War is coming, domestic disputes, God needs people like you.

We will discuss major issues with the Extraordinary Affairs Committee. There is no Extraordinary Affairs Committee in the world, only the Temple.

The empire will become stronger.

Don't panic, God will protect you.

I wish you good health!

May order last forever! !

There is a lot of information in the short letter, and Count Otto's heart is pounding.

The more he read, the more panicked he became. The last sentence "God will protect you" did not have a comforting effect. It only made him more panic.

He quickly made a hand gesture of the scales of order to the letter, and said: "May order last forever."

He handed the letter to Professor Palmer and asked him to read it.

Along with the letter came a special medal of courage. It also showed his identity.

Now Count Otto had to stand on the ship of the Temple.

The first sentence of the letter told Count Otto that you are indeed guilty, but God has forgiven you.

The second sentence talked about the reason for forgiveness. It was because of the evidence you provided.

The third sentence was the "recruitment" of Count Otto by the Temple.

The fourth sentence talked about the result of the evidence you provided. The Extraordinary Affairs Committee was gone. Only the Temple was left. It was annexed. .

In the extraordinary field, the separation of the three powers of legislation, law enforcement, and justice was broken.

In addition to the judicial power represented by the court, the remaining two powers were merged by the Temple.

This is an extremely terrifying thing.

If the Temple wants to strictly control the extraordinary in the country, no one can stop it.

The fifth sentence was a comfort to Count Otto. And it revealed to Count Otto that the Temple was becoming more and more powerful. Eaton in the north and Kebli in the west were not enough.

The sixth sentence told Count Otto that God was watching him now, and he had to stand with God.

Although such a letter was very short, it gave Count Otto an incredible feeling.

He really didn't expect that handing that memory to the Temple would bring such a huge reaction.

The Temple took this opportunity to simply annex the Extraordinary Affairs Committee.

From now on, all extraordinary things will be under the jurisdiction of the Temple.

In other words, from now on, the Temple will dominate the Hutt Empire. It's worse than before.

And his own result was also something Count Otto didn't expect. Now he had no choice but to stand on the side of the Temple. Otherwise, if he leaked the news of this intelligence, he might die.

The result he hoped to get was that he was safe and sound and gained a certain amount of political capital from the Temple.

After Jack died, he got the support of the royal family.

After that, he can start planning the establishment of the executive body of the Protection Act.

But now, he has indeed obtained the support of the temple, but in another way. A more extreme way.

It is of course a good thing to plan the executive body of the Protection Act. But no one knows how it will affect his long-term development.

As a noble, he does not want to be restricted by the temple.

After reading the letter, Professor Palmer was shocked. He couldn't calm down for a long time looking at Count Otto.

Finally, he began to say:

"It's going to change!!"

······

Sitting at the table of the Rose who stayed up late, Alok ate his evening breakfast while reading today's newspaper.

It was a rare relaxation for him recently.

He also developed some habits of reading newspapers.

For him, the Damei Daily and the Damei Morning Post were really unbearable to read, so he asked Sandro to subscribe to several other newspapers for him.

"Hey~~ Alok. Urgent~~"

A pleasant voice made him raise his head and look forward.

Meanwhile, Ir hurried down from upstairs and sat opposite him. He seemed a little anxious.

"What's the matter? So urgent? Could it be that the little bear is injured?" Alok asked casually.

"Rona just went to the laboratory." Ir said breathlessly.

"So what? She goes there every day." Alok shrugged.

"But she brought a message. Earl Otto asked her to bring it." Il approached Alok and whispered.

"What?" Alok was slightly surprised.

He stretched out his right hand and waved it in the air, letting a mental net cover the two of them. Look at Il.

Then, Il organized his words and said:

"Rona said. Today, the Temple of Order and the Committee of Extraordinary Things merged."

"It's merged. What's the big deal??" Alok said nonchalantly.

But soon, he froze on the spot, looked at Il and asked: "What did you say?"

"The Committee of Extraordinary Things and the Temple of Order merged!!" Il confirmed again.

"How is this possible?" Alok said loudly in shock.

Il hurriedly stopped Alok and asked him to lower his voice, and then said:

"How is it impossible, but the fact is that. It is said to be related to what happened on January 1st."

Alok looked incredulous and really couldn't understand how the temple did it.

He scratched his head and said:

"You mean, we did that job that day, and then I gave the evidence to Count Otto, and Count Otto took the evidence to the Temple. Now the Temple uses this evidence to swallow up the Extraordinary Affairs Committee??"

"Is my evidence so powerful??" Alok asked in shock.

Il shook his head, leaned on the table, and said:

"Whether the evidence is powerful or not depends on whether it is placed at the key node. It's like the order of placing materials in an experiment. Sometimes just a little bit of material is enough to cause a huge change."

"Or an explosion. If you want to blow up a bridge, maybe only a fist-sized amount of explosives is enough. Just find the weak point."

"And now is the time to find that weak point."

Ailok looked at Il, tried to analyze it, and said:

"You mean that the current situation, plus the intelligence I gave, has produced a chemical reaction?"

"The domestic Order Temple and the Axiom Temple are fighting fiercely and urgently need to expand their power. The Extraordinary Affairs Committee is the best choice. Not only is it powerful, but it is also widely distributed, even in Eaton."

"In terms of foreign forces, the Kebli Empire is at war with the Hutt Empire. The war urgently needs money. Gaining jurisdiction over extraordinary materials in one fell swoop also allows the temple to obtain a lot of capital. Annexing the Extraordinary Affairs Committee can also obtain a lot of money."

The more he spoke, the clearer his thoughts became, and he felt that he suddenly realized.

"And the information I sent was like a catalyst. It allowed the Temple, which had this plan, to take advantage of the opportunity to annex the Extraordinary Affairs Committee."

"So, I helped the Temple of Order a lot?"

"That's right. A big help, a huge help!!" Il confirmed.

"But it's not a bad thing for us. We should be more careful in the future. It's not a bad thing for Florian either. Because the black people will definitely have a hard time in the future! He is waiting for this day."
