……
What happened on Holy Spirit Day soon spread throughout the Caesar Empire and even to the surrounding major cities.
The evil crimes of the Pope and the undead were also revealed at this moment, shocking the world.
The chain reaction it brought about was like a flood or a beast, the believers' faith collapsed, and riots broke out in various places.
The empire showed no mercy in this regard. Those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be imprisoned were imprisoned. The rebellion was strangled in the bud with lightning speed.
The protagonists of this Whitsunday—Lion Wood and Hong Zhou—appeared before the world once again.
But the evaluation this time was no longer negative, but presented a heroic image of exposing the crimes of the Vatican and driving away the invasion of alien worlds.
If it weren't for Ryan Wood's efforts to save the situation, tens of millions of people participating in the Whitsunday would have died at the hands of the Pope.
Even if they don't die, they will all be marked with the mark of the undead and become complete puppets of the Church.
The change in public opinion was not solely caused by the actions of Ryan Wood and Hong Zhou.
Among them were the leaders of various forces and James French who were behind the scenes fanning the flames. They witnessed all of this happening, and some of the reasons for doing so were to show goodwill to the Magic Tower.
The Magic Tower has issued a series of articles, mentioning Ryan Wood again, and has specially set up an inspection team to invite Ryan Wood to participate. This already shows that the latter now has a very important position in the Magic Tower.
The importance of this inspection team is likely to surpass that of the magic association headquarters in various countries under the Magic Tower in the future, and its power will be extremely great.
Once Ryan Wood accepted the invitation of the Magic Tower, it would be like a new business card, and one that no one dared to offend.
But what is strange is that although the Magic Tower has supported and spoken out for Ryan Wood many times, the Empire has remained unmoved and has not cancelled the wanted order for Ryan Wood.
It is not known whether the Empire did it on purpose or just cancelled it because it was too embarrassed to do so.
In short, the wanted warrant is still there, but I guess no one dares to actually catch Ryan Wood.
After all, the other party is someone who can drive away the undead from other worlds, and he has the help of the dragon clan to kill the Pope. Such a person is a giant wherever he is, so who would dare to catch him and seek death?
In addition, among the high-ranking officials of the empire, especially those who had previously wavered between the Holy See and Caesar, the Holy See's failure this time and Caesar's series of measures had a strong deterrent effect on them.
This led them to join the ranks of those denouncing the crimes of the Holy See, and to re-examine their relationship with Caesar, and ultimately to stand firmly on Caesar's side.
Especially the nobles of the major empires began a new round of open and covert struggles.
The reason was simply that the Duke of Merlin's family, which was once the leader of the nobility, was in chaos.
El Merlin disappeared in Shadowmoon City, and his body has not been found to this day.
With the backbone gone, the only legitimate heir being a disabled grandchild, this naturally cannot convince the public.
As a result, various branches of the Duke's family began to think about establishing a new power and changing power.
The nobles from the outside world who coveted the Duke of Merlin's family also wanted to get a piece of this huge pie, and began to suppress the Merlin family openly and covertly in all aspects of economics and politics.
For a time, the Merlin family was in turmoil.
……
"Sigh! Sigh! Fortunately, we didn't board Merlin's ship, otherwise we would be in trouble now."
Marquis Hansen's Mansion, the imperial capital's family residence.
Eugene Hansen looked at the recent news from all sides and realized that all parties had begun to besiege the Merlin family. He couldn't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable.
Who could have imagined that a century-old noble family would fall into decline overnight and become prey in the eyes of wolves?
Thanks to the appearance of one person, Eugene Hansen slowed down his steps to join the Merlin family. Otherwise, even if Marquis Hansen was not implicated, he would have been branded as someone who took advantage of someone's misfortune.
"Owen, how do you know that the Merlin family is about to fail? Just based on the two Merlin descendants who died in Haitang County?" Eugene Hansen looked at Lucci Owen standing aside.
It was a coincidence that after he first spotted the magician at the Coast Bar, the magician was quickly sent to the Marquis's mansion by the Coast Bar.
At that time, Eugene Hansen was busy boarding the Merlin family's ship, and he didn't even have time to care about the death of his own son Dicko, so he didn't reuse Owen at the first time.
But at this moment, Owen stopped Marquis Hansen's plan. It cannot be said that he stopped it, but he asked Marquis Hansen to wait and see.
Because Owen knew that his teacher would definitely take action against the Duke of Merlin's family. With his teacher's powerful strength, the Duke of Merlin's family would be destroyed sooner or later.
If Marquis Hansen defected to the Merlin family at this time, it would become difficult for him, as a member lurking in the Hansen family, to escape in the future.
He also has his own thoughts and wants to help his teacher get rid of those charges, so why not try to help the Marquis family go further?
By then, his status will naturally be higher, and he will be able to bring more information and help to the teacher.
After a round of deception, Eugene Hansen was really fooled by Owen with the title of "Disciple of the God of Law" and decided to wait and see and go to the imperial capital for a close inspection.
So now, I have been waiting for this news.
"My Lord Marquis, the descendants of the Merlin family died one after another at the hands of Ryan Wood. This is definitely not a coincidence. This is the dangerous gene hidden in the Merlin family. If our Marquis family rashly joins in, we are likely to become victims or be targeted by Ryan Wood. At that time, it will become a hidden danger in our family." Owen said.
Eugene Hansen looked at Owen with admiration, and felt more and more that it was worthwhile to go to the Coast Bar.
However, he was worried again: "But now the Merlin family is about to fall, and there are so many nobles in the imperial capital who are eyeing us covetously. Which ship should we board?"
"My Lord Marquis, instead of considering boarding that ship, you should consider whether you can raise the status of the Marquisate during this turmoil." Owen smiled.
"Elaborate!"
"Emperor Caesar's large-scale purge to eliminate the remnants of the Holy See is underway. This is a hot potato, and it is currently being handled by official people from the empire. Right now, nobles from all over the country are only eyeing the piece of cake from Duke Merlin's family, and some local nobles are even gathering their private armies, not knowing that this also violates the emperor's taboo..." Owen didn't finish his words and looked at Marquis Hansen.
Marquis Hansen was no fool and understood everything immediately.
He immediately added: "So, we must express our attitude to the emperor as soon as possible and share his worries."
Owen nodded: "And immediately! If you are late, someone else will get there first!"
Marquis Hansen was shocked and was about to call for help, but stopped abruptly.
"I have to go and pay my respects to the Emperor in person! Owen, you continue to monitor the situation in the capital for me! If I succeed, I will give you a great reward!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Marquis Hansen left in a hurry, leaving Owen alone in the study.
Owen strode out of the study, and a ray of sunlight from the sky shone on his face.
He looked up at the sky, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Teacher, teacher, you have done such a great thing without making any noise, it's really amazing!"
