Cohen looked at his father and said all his suspicions.
"And I think the mysterious creatures in the forest may also be related to the church."
"But there is no conclusive evidence to prove that all this is related to the church, so...Father, this is just my guess."
"But that Hubert must have something to hide from us, and he died just like that. I think it's very suspicious."
Wade frowned and asked.
"Have you told anyone about this?"
"No, father, this is just my guess. You also know that the power of the church in our empire...is not weaker than our royal family."
"The most important thing is that at least 50% of the people in our empire are believers of the church!"
"If all this is true, it will be very troublesome for us to take action against the church or deal with the church."
Wade listened and nodded, which was also what he was most worried about.
If the enemy is some other nobles or other forces in the empire, it will be very simple to deal with.
But if the enemy is really the church, then...
At this time, Wade dared not imagine it.
"Well! You go down first. You have worked hard these days. Go down and have a rest."
"Father, I finally used the magic scroll you gave me."
"Isn't it for you to use? You still refuse to take it. Don't worry, although it is very precious, it must be used after it is made. Otherwise, it is just a piece of paper, right?"
"Okay, don't feel bad, go down and have a rest."
"Oh! By the way, the person you like has advanced twice in a row! He is very strong and should be able to achieve a good result in this magician competition!"
"Nuoxi?"
Cohen's cheeks flushed, then he nodded, turned around and quickly left the room.
Wade looked at the guest's back as he left, and the smile on his face froze.
Then he turned around and left the room from the back of the hall.
He walked straight to a loft in the deepest part of the palace.
Push open the door.
"Emperor, you are here?"
"Teacher Vickel!"
Wade said respectfully when he heard the voice.
Then a figure came out from behind Wade and walked shoulder to shoulder with Wade.
Wade was startled. When did someone appear behind him?
How come he didn't know?
"Teacher Vickel... when did you appear?"
"Just now."
Vickel said lightly.
Wade looked at the old man in front of him. His hair was gray and he walked a little hunched and swaying.
He looked like he was about to fall at any time.
But such a person is one of the strongest people in the empire.
And he is also the teacher of himself and his father.
"It's rare for you to come to me. See what happened."
Vickel waved two chairs and they appeared directly on the ground.
"Sit down, sit down and talk."
Vickel pointed to the chair in front of him and said.
Wade nodded and sat down.
"Teacher...I want to ask you something?"
"Ask one thing? What is it?"
Vickel looked at Wade and asked.
"...If the church...is against our empire...what are our chances of winning?"
Wade mustered up the courage to look at Vickel and said.
Vickel was stunned and looked at Wade, then looked at Wade seriously and said.
"Are you serious about this?"
"Yes, I am serious!"
Wade nodded seriously and said.
"Are you going to be against the church?"
"I didn't expect that there would be such a day."
Vickel didn't show any surprise but took a long breath and said.
"Teacher, why aren't you very surprised?"
Wade looked at Vickel and asked with some doubt.
"Because I know it's a matter of time."
Vickel smiled bitterly and looked at Wade.
"It's a matter of time? "
Wade looked at the teacher. Did he know that the church might be a threat to the empire?
Or was it something else.
"Do you know what your father was most worried about when he was alive?"
"The orcs?"
Wade thought about it. His father had always told him to pay attention to the orcs.
"This is just on the surface. The orcs do need attention, but these are things that can be seen on the surface."
"And we have been through so much with the orcs.After years of war, the vitality has been greatly damaged. No one dares to start the next war rashly, unless one side has an absolute advantage. "
"Otherwise, neither side will start a war at will."
"Your father didn't tell you this at the time. After all, our relationship with the church was still very close at that time."
"What my father feared most when he was alive was... afraid that the church would become an enemy."
Crest sighed and said..
"Teacher, I think my father's idea may have really come true."
Then Wade briefly told Crest about the dark forest just now.
Crest listened to Wade's description, and his brows never relaxed.
"I didn't expect that I didn't leave the palace for these years, and such a thing happened. It seems that the church may really be doing something unspeakable."
After listening to Wade's words, Crest nodded and said.
"We have been letting the church go all these years, but it hurts ourselves."
"But if we really go to war with the church, our chances of winning will not exceed 50%. "
Crest looked at Wade and told him the truth.
"What do you mean it won't be less than 50%?"
"Yes, and I'm still taking our artifacts into consideration in this 50%. "
"By the way, Gulliver...I negotiated with Gulliver last time, and he should be able to help us!"
Wade thought about it and continued quickly.
"Gulliver, that old guy? Did he agree to help you?"
"This old guy is not someone who can help anyone casually. What conditions did you agree to? "
"The secret of the Magic Emperor!"
Wade said directly.
"The secret of the Magic Emperor? Hahaha!"
"This old guy...really wants to become the Magic Emperor. Can he agree to this?"
Crest couldn't help laughing when he heard that Gulliver actually helped Wade because of this.
"Teacher, what are you laughing at?"
"This is not a secret we...have been keeping."
"Secret? You probably haven't read what's written inside, right? "
"Forget it, since he agreed, our chances of winning against the church should be 50-50!"
Crest raised his head and said with a slight smile.
