Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 981 The Wall of Emilia
Achieving perfect balance is certainly desirable, but it's incredibly difficult.

Moreover, maintaining this balance inevitably requires a great deal of effort.

Although Louis could rule Emilia for at least another two or three hundred years, giving Luciano plenty of time to waste.

But... Travis of the Northern Kingdom also said he wanted to be a king for all eternity!
Didn't he abdicate before even reaching two hundred years old?

Of course, Louise can't compare to that person, and she has her own ways of passing the time, but who knows if she might suddenly get bored?
Queen Emilia, in the beginning, also thought about her reign lasting for thousands of generations, but in the end, didn't she choose the exciting Dark Temple so that 'life wouldn't just be a stagnant pool'?
Most importantly, as the future King, and even with a lifespan comparable to Queen Emilia, Prince Luciano has no need to waste his time and energy on those things!
Even if he hadn't become a contractor of the Sunlight Maple Tree, his identity as a Night Walker would never have been given a prominent role.

Who would dare risk severing the bloodline of a royal family by sending him out to do work?
But Luciano, whose personality is almost exactly the same as Luis', is truly unstoppable.

All we could do was watch him walk the tightrope... Although his fighting ability was indeed very strong, the danger was also high!

If Luciano were to suddenly lose his balance, he would certainly be seriously injured.

Fortunately, as long as it's not fatal, the maple tree will definitely be able to save it in the end.

This magical plant has extremely strong vitality and can even survive for more than three years without being on the ground.

At worst, I'll be bedridden for a decade or so, and then there won't be any more problems... Of course, that's also a problem.

The High Priest of the Night knew very well that if Luciano failed, he would only end up becoming the Sun King.

However, the Emilia royal family has always been quite eccentric... their glittering, dark followers aren't really anything special.

The high priest touched his heart, which was not showing any signs of pain, and followed Queen Louise, who was striding out.

But he really hoped that this time the Labyrinth of the Gods could solve Luciano's problem, which is why he didn't try to dissuade the prince, who was already at the maximum level, from running into the labyrinth.

After all, whatever the final outcome, it can be confirmed as the decision of the gods... The Goddess of the Night has been watching all along!
If Luciano truly undergoes a complete transformation right under her nose, wouldn't that be an affirmation from the goddess of the night?
Even if he tries to fabricate something, Luciano certainly wouldn't dare to talk nonsense anymore!
Then he suddenly remembered something and immediately caught up with Queen Louise in three strides: "Your Majesty, no matter how curious you are about the Toronto sorcerer, please don't ask him!"

"Huh?" Louis hesitated for a second. "Why not?"
He doesn't seem like the kind of person the Northern court could produce!

“That’s why you absolutely mustn’t ask,” the high priest said softly. “The goddess knows, but she hasn’t mentioned it. Doesn’t Your Majesty understand?”

“Didn’t you say you could confirm that the other person wasn’t Lori Montes?” Louis asked, somewhat surprised. “Besides him, who else would you need to keep secret to that extent?”

“Perhaps some deity is trying to lure outsiders?” the high priest said, keeping his voice low. “We can’t do that.”

“Okay…” Louis looked up and saw the Toronto mage swaggering in mid-air, looking indifferently at the crowd slowly gathering below.

She still felt that something was wrong.

Is the Toronto of today the same Toronto who created the Wanglian Lake a few days ago?
Their appearance and aura were indeed no different, but... their temperament always made her feel some subtle differences.

"The Archbishop of Earth has arrived," the Night High Priest reminded the distracted Queen.

Louis immediately perked up and nodded to the group of people walking towards the palace.

The Archbishop immediately bowed respectfully before leading his men onto the terrace.

When Queen Emilia built her palace, she did not, like other countries, enclose large tracts of land and divide them into palaces of various sizes. Instead, she simply built a seven-story, U-shaped building.

Those who handle government affairs and palace matters work in the front building facing the central square.

The Queen's own study and government offices are also located on the top floor here.

The first floor is a huge open hall.

The coronation ceremony will inevitably be held in the adjacent Dark Church, so the main hall can basically meet the needs of most diplomatic and internal meetings.

The second floor is where the Queen receives guests, with different rooms to meet different needs.

The large terrace, which can accommodate two hundred people and allows the royal family to enjoy themselves with the public, is also on the second floor.

When a grand ceremony is held, the Queen will stand here with her family and ministers to celebrate with the people.

The Emilia family doesn't have many rules; if they need to meet on the terrace, they won't make the ministers walk around the main hall.

After all, with such a large terrace, the support point must be the pillar below.

Two long staircases can automatically extend from either side of the terrace when needed.

The Archbishop and his men came up from there.

Louis glanced at the people behind him and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Aren't any of these people going to the Earth Labyrinth?"

Aren't these all elites of the Earth Church?

The Church of the Dark Night has admitted everyone who could get in!
Otherwise, Louis wouldn't have personally shown up here to keep things under control.

As long as she stands here, even if there isn't a single guard inside or outside Emilia City, no trouble will arise. Although she doesn't have the leaves of the banyan tree as eyes like her son, Louise has her own strengths.

As a monk who upholds and promotes the protection of women and children by the Goddess of Night, Louis not only possesses extremely powerful moonlight magic with healing abilities, but also has the ability to control shadows.

In Emilia City, every building, no matter where it is, will inevitably have a special shadow... When an enemy situation arises, Louis doesn't need to take action himself; he can simply command these shadows.

If the enemy's fighting strength is not particularly strong, then Louis himself is like a thousand troops.

She is Emilia's last line of defense.

This incident, at most, will cause some minor disturbances, but it will certainly not lead to an attack by powerful figures.

If they really come, they will be enemies of the gods, and have nothing to do with Emilia.

With the Goddess of the Night around, there's no need to worry about any god using Emily Adam as bait or a trap.

The Archbishop sighed: "I intend to let them go in on the last day."

Louis glanced at the aged Archbishop, then at the defiant men behind him, and suddenly realized, "Are you worried that after they go in, they'll first bring out the young people from other schools?"

“This is not a misunderstanding,” the Archbishop said calmly. “I have tried many times during this period and I am certain that no matter how nicely they say things before, as long as they are out of my sight, trouble will inevitably arise.”

There are some things that, even if everyone knows them, I don't want them to be presented directly to the gods.

Louis couldn't quite understand how someone could betray their colleague in front of their own god... That was just too stupid.

Even the most good-tempered ruler of the earth could not tolerate this.

But she wouldn't doubt that the Archbishop of the Earth was lying.

This old gentleman has been holding out here for twenty years, making him the longest-serving bishop in the history of the Highlands.

His methods and temperament are both excellent, and he acts swiftly and decisively.

Moreover, it is a rare mineral-based group.

The Earth Church's mineral faction has always been peaceful, since most of them wander around in the wilderness, and the biggest trouble they are most likely to run into is the White Dragon, so their combat strength is excellent.

Those who manage to survive and become bishops are especially formidable in combat.

Louis couldn't quite understand why this guy could stay here and suffer... even though he could indeed take on a group of people by himself and make those wood-playing guys obediently take the scolding.

However, there are really no mines here.

The Earth Believers are all academic fanatics. The Mineral School only has fewer disputes because of their different research methods, but that doesn't mean they aren't obsessed.

And yet a bishop-level figure was able to stay in a place with no research topics and a bunch of crazy botanists for twenty years!
Louis had wanted to know this guy's secret for a long time... what was it that had kept him going until now?
But feeling the intense gaze of the High Priest of the Night behind her, she still managed a sympathetic smile: "Then, I can only wish you all the best."

The Archbishop of Earth shook his head, then looked thoughtfully at the Toronto mage floating in mid-air and said, "This one, has he been in contact with the Nature mage?"
He possessed a very faint, plant-like scent.

"He's been in Emilia for so long, even if there was contact, he should have disappeared by now, right?" Louis asked, puzzled. "Or does your Earth Church have someone who knows him?"

“Impossible.” The Archbishop shook his head. “Your Majesty should understand that I have been keeping them under extremely strict control during this period.”

Even when Wanglian Lake was completed, they weren't allowed to go there..."

“That’s nothing,” Louis interrupted him with a grin. “The Night Cultists tested the venue overnight, and it was perfect.”

The sound effects are also superb.

The Archbishop's eyes darkened slightly, knowing that the opportunity had been completely lost.

Although the Lord of the Earth doesn't care about these trivial matters, they are still ordinary mortals who do care!
The reason why believers on Earth sometimes refuse to heed the will of the Lord of Earth is because He is too tolerant and forgiving.

But those gains and losses that the gods disregard may be a lifetime's worth for human believers.

After decades of hard work, they were all sent away by their own master with a single sentence... After this happens so many times, everyone naturally learns to cover their ears first.

In any case, the Lord of the Earth is tolerant of others, and even more tolerant of those within the country.

As long as they are bold, loud, and have a plausible reason, the Lord of the Earth will not hold it against them.

The gods do not contend; they do.

But sometimes, it's simply not as fast as the Lord of the Earth's spending spree.
