  Chapter 7 Who is helping them?

  No matter which race they belong to, be it humans or dragons, even the elves who are the best at magic, there are very few people who can master space magic abilities.

  Looking at the abilities Sirius was displaying at this moment, it was obvious that he had mastered space magic to a very proficient level, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to continue using it for so long without seeing any sweat on Sirius's face.

  Although it is said that human nobles are born with awakening abilities that are different from magic, the awakening abilities do not mean there are no limits. Thinking about it this way, I am afraid that the efforts that the second prince in front of him has put in silently in the palace have already surpassed the one who controls most of the resources. The eldest prince.

  Of course, Luther also knew very well that the reason Sirius showed him the ability that he had hidden for so long was because he was forcing himself to take sides.

  "Second Prince, what do you want to say..."

  "What do you think?"

  Sirius showed a confident smile. In fact, he was more nervous than anyone else, for fear that Luther in front of him would see something, "I can't guarantee anything else. , at least to ensure that you can reap the maximum benefits during the period when I am targeted by my royal brother.

  Think about it, our positions are actually the same. If someone like the eldest prince dares to attack his younger brother, then Break up with you."

  Sirius used a little conversation trick here, which was to bring up a new topic while acknowledging that an unconfirmed thing was true.

  In this way, the other party's attention is focused on new issues, and they lose the idea of ​​continuing to judge the authenticity of the previously unverified information.

  "Your Highness the Second Prince...can you let me think about it?"

  "Oh, that's right."

  Seeing Luther staring at the gold coins on the ground with a greedy look, Sirius also said knowingly: "If Lord Luther is willing to stand by me Here, I think Anka will be my first stop to fight back against Engri, so of course I will spend the money here."

  After hearing Sirius's words, Luther immediately beamed with joy, " I think, the second prince, you are the most suitable person to lead the future of the Xilin Empire. The eldest prince is not very good at first glance." "

  Of course, I am not doing it for money."

  "Haha, you'd better do it for money. ."

  Luther also immediately understood what Sirius meant, and immediately reacted and said: "Okay, then I'm just here for the money!"

  After all, subordinates who have no agenda are the hardest to control, so everyone puts their needs in front of them. On the contrary, it is conducive to cooperation.

  Of course, Luther never expected that Sirius actually had no intention of forming an alliance with him. After all, for Sirius, who was also a villain, there was no need to have a gentleman's agreement with such a person.

  "Then, Your Highness, the Second Prince, I will prepare a future residence for you. I promise it will be better than the environment here!" "

  No need."

  Luther has no brains, but that doesn't mean Sirius has no brains either.

  "Although we are in a cooperative relationship now, you still have to keep in touch with the eldest prince for the time being.

  Didn't he ask you to kill me and then find someone else to replace me? In this case, what do you think of me as a person? Will the 'fake second prince' live in a better mansion than yours?"

  "Indeed, indeed. As expected of the future monarch of the empire, His Highness the Second Prince is very considerate." "You

  still call me Second Prince? I He is no longer a prince now."

  "Then...Mr. Sirius." Luther smiled obsequiously and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I promise with my life that I will never reveal your true identity to anyone. , if your subordinates are exposed, you can do whatever you want with them."

  "Okay, I'll find a place to stay first, and you know what to do next."

  "Okay."

  Luther sent someone in to collect the mountains of gold coins on the ground. They were transported in batches and packed into their own treasury, while smiling and hunched over, they welcomed Sirius out of the house.

  And when he later learned that the gold coins Sirius threw on the ground were actually 500,000, the expression on his face became even more joyful.

  Of course, at the same time that these gold coins were confirmed to be in Luther's possession, a mountain of gold coins of the same amount appeared out of thin air in an old warehouse on the other side of Anka City.

  It wasn't until the sun set and everyone on Sirius' side had returned to their temporary residence that the warehouse door on this side was pushed open by the people from the other side. When the girl in nun's uniform who opened the door saw the scene in the room, she was frightened and sat on the ground, her mouth wide open.

  ...

  "You mean...these gold coins were not there when you came to see them yesterday?"

  "Yes, Your Majesty Bishop."

  "This is strange..."

  The archbishop's voice echoed inside the solemn and mysterious church, surrounded by The stained glass couldn't see any beauty at the moment because of the dim light, but it added a bit of a weird feeling to today's strange event.

  Standing in front of the archbishop were a group of clergy from Anka Light Church.

  It's just that unlike the church in the empire's capital, the number of people here is really shabby.

  The total number of priests, priests, nuns and other personnel is less than 10 people.

  However, there is really no way to create such a situation. After all, this is Ankh where wars and invasions occur all year round, and the role of the church is far less important than that of soldiers.

  What's more, the lords here have always regarded the church as a thorn in their side. It was precisely because of the interference of these people that Luther could not abandon these civilians who he regarded as a burden and could not sell his country for greater interests.

  Although the war situation is now relatively stable, the church has always been targeted by Luther.

  The number of clergy in the church is also decreasing, and I am afraid that after a while, without others taking the initiative to target them, they themselves will declare their own death sentence.

  However, the gold coins that suddenly appeared in the warehouse tonight gave them all hope.

  After all, no matter what, as long as they have funds, they still have the possibility of survival, and they can continue to mediate with their opponents in political struggles, thus affecting the division of rights in the entire Anka.

  But the problem now is...

  "Your Majesty Bishop, I really don't know where these gold coins come from. Could it be..." "

  Alice, go and get a few gold coins."

  The bishop frowned. He really didn't dare to spend money without a source. Maybe the money was a good thing done by that disgusting lord Luther, in order to accuse them of stealing gold coins.

  However, when the nun took back two gold coins from the warehouse at the back of the church and handed them to him, he was stunned.

  Most of the gold coins of the Xilin Empire are the same.

  But there is only one kind of gold coin, the patterns and patterns on it are completely different from others.

  That is the royal gold coin produced in the imperial city and circulated only among members of the royal family and high-ranking nobles.

  Not to mention people like Luther, even the nearest and more prosperous Harriet City has never had so many gold coins like this...

  "Wait a minute, Alice, please show me where these gold coins are."

  "Okay, Lord Bishop."

  The two walked down the corridor of the church one after another, while the others stayed where they were and did not dare to follow. superior. Soon they came to the door of the church's warehouse used to store supplies, and the bishop spotted the pile of gold coins at a glance.

  ...There is nothing I can do. There is suddenly a sea of ​​money in such an empty place, and it is difficult not to be conspicuous.

  "This is, this is also... Why, why are they all?!"

  The bishop was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said in a daze: "Has anyone from the royal family been to Anka?"
