Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 217: George III the Hook

Sunday thought for a moment and said as tactfully as possible, "Fools often have their own [aesthetics of pleasure], and each fool's view and definition of [pleasure] is quite different. However, ordinary people may not necessarily understand them, which makes their thinking sometimes relatively... advanced."

"But as I said before, the Fools here look more like the Candy Knights and the Sentimental Guardians. They are a different kind of Pleasure faction than the Masked Fools. Furthermore, their reputation in the eyes of the other major factions is relatively much better."

Klein thought about it. Candy Knight was Sequence Seven of the Pleasure Path. Klein himself had a good understanding of this and could understand Sunday's words.

However, [Amorous Guardian] doesn't seem to be a sequel to the [Pleasure] Path. However, since the two were listed side by side on Sunday, Klein could make a rough guess and not be blind.

"Anyway, just make your own judgment." Klein's spiritual energy was exhausted, and Sunday's figure completely disappeared.

"Ah, they're gone." Klein sighed as he looked at the place where Sunday disappeared.

I raised my hand and rubbed my temple, and the slight dizziness and pain I had just felt gradually eased.

It was too much for him to recall a Sunday in his lucid state, even just to chat.

Based on the conversation just now, Klein already understood that it was impossible for him to recall a Sunday, but there was something called "uniqueness" that had been preparing for this matter since two months ago and had been preparing until now.

If it were other things, or at other times, Klein himself would not have such ability.

Queens, outside Sodlak Palace.

Thordrak Palace was the residence of King George III and also his office.

At this time, two old men were standing outside the palace.

Archbishop Horamyk Haydon of the Church of Steam and Mechanics and Archbishop Anthony Stevenson of the Church of Night.

They came to seek justice from the king.

Although the haze released by the witch only lasted for a short period of time, a very strange thing happened in the following period of time.

All the people in Backlund were pulled into a dream, and in the dream they saw a scene that shocked them greatly.

That is a power that is enough to shock any demigod.

No matter what was in the dream, at least, after investigation by the major churches, they found out that this matter was related to the royal family.

Therefore, the two demigods came to the palace gate together, hoping that the king could give an explanation.

The rumbling thunder echoed, accompanied by strong winds, and the third demigod fell from the sky.

This is the old pigeon of the Storm who is always a step behind, Archbishop Ace Snake of the Church of the Storm.

Unlike the other two who acted silently, this hot-tempered older brother exuded an aura of "I'm very angry" and "I'm here to mess things up."

But this is understandable.

The Storm Church is a typical male chauvinist church. In their view, the weak depend on the strong, and the strong also have an obligation to protect the weak.

But just yesterday, in the East District, within the jurisdiction of the Church of Storms, a large number of civilians were nearly killed.

This made the grumpy old pigeons furious.

If they were not here to meet the king, there would definitely be more than just Snake among the Storm Followers standing here.

"Calm down, sir." Archbishop Anthony spoke first, trying to calm the irritable Snake.

An invisible aura of tranquility and peace soothed Snake.

He felt that if he didn't say something, this grumpy old man would rush in on his own. Snake didn't resist. After all, he wasn't a brainless reckless man, so he couldn't really rush in.

"The Church of Storms will reduce the taxes it pays to the royal family." Snake calmed down and spoke directly, "The money we pay is not used to help them collude with witches, nor is it used to support their subjects!"

His tone was firm and resolute.

This is not a discussion with anyone, but a simple notification.

This remark seemed to open up a conversation, and the three archbishops began to discuss the compensation that the royal family should pay.

Because this time no major damage was caused, the three archbishops were able to sit together calmly and discuss how to extort money from the royal family.

"I will demand the relaxation of property restrictions on elections, the elimination of invalid constituencies, and an increase in the number of seats in the House of Lords." Horamick spoke out of consideration for the factory.

If it can be agreed, it will be a win-win situation for factories and capital.

"I am more concerned about the relevant bills on air pollution, minimum wage protection and working hours regulations, as well as the Poor Relief Law. I believe the king will not refuse this time." Archbishop Anthony said in a gentle tone.

"Then I demand that the church be allowed to send personnel into the military!" Snake opened his mouth and made a huge request.

"Then I will draw a book about George III and spread themes like 'The Little She-Demon George III' to every corner of the Kingdom of Loen."

A voice that was unfamiliar to the three bishops suddenly came from beside them.

"It's Archbishop Cerrius. I rarely see you." Archbishop Anthony was the first to recognize Cerrius.

When the Joyful Church was first established, the Church of Night was the first to express its recognition of the Joyful Church.

After that, there are the Church of Steam and Mechanics and the Church of Storms.

Archbishop Horamick, who had an afro, looked silently into Serris's eyes twice and then looked away.

Snake seemed to know what was going on. He made a heavy nasal sound but did not raise any objections.

"In fact, it's also a good theme to set the heroine of this book as a queen who loves her people." Archbishop Anthony, although old but not old at heart, gave Serris some advice.

"Wow, you're quite the trendsetter, old man. You're not old at heart." Ceres looked at Anthony Stevenson. "Are you interested in being the leading actor?"

Anthony really thought about it seriously: "Forget it, I'm afraid the royal family will come to check the water meter."

Inside the Thordrak Palace, George III, wearing a crown, with a resolute face and a small mustache, sat on the throne, looking at the Earl of the Palace in front of him, without saying a word for a long time.

"Your Majesty, people from the four major churches are waiting for your explanation outside." The Earl of the Palace said with sweat on his forehead.

"Explanation? Prince Edessak was seduced by the witch, colluded with the cult, and attempted to rebel. That's the explanation! Now he's escaped with the witch. That's the proof! The evidence is clearly before our eyes. What explanation do we need?"

The Earl of the Palace tremblingly relayed to George III what the guards outside had heard.

George III didn't take it seriously at first, until he heard the last part.

The anger on his face was more obvious and more real.

George III roared: "Tell them so! Since they want a new order, then I will give them a new order! Except... except the last one, all their demands will be met."

The Earl of the Palace wanted to say that he felt that the Joyful Archbishop would most likely not care about the king's opinion, because there were already novels and comics on the market with similar themes such as "The Tyrannical King Fell in Love with Me" and "George III the Hook."

But in the end, the Earl of the Palace did not speak a word. He lowered his head and walked backwards out of the Sodlak Palace.
