Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

Could it be that the church's influence is so strong that I just inquired about it for a while and the church is already monitoring my movements?

Chu Yan immediately looked for the source of the gaze, and then he saw Princess Ye Na staring at him not far away, accompanied by a quiet woman with squinting eyes.

It turned out to be her elder sister. The person next to her should be her aunt, right?

Chu Yan remembered that Princess Ye Na had said before that her aunt was more accustomed to using her own eyes to confirm information and didn't want to be led by others in a suspicious way.

He immediately pretended not to see it, acted as if he was just a passerby, whistled and prepared to leave.

Before he had taken a few steps, Chu Yan was pulled over by Princess Ye Nai.

The woman with long white hair asked unhappily, "Why are you pretending not to see me?"

Chu Yan glanced at the intellectual and elegant strange aunt, then returned his gaze to Princess Ye Nai. He whispered:

"Before, I wanted to be a tour guide, but Sister Ye Na said that my aunt doesn't like outsiders to deliberately guide her, so I just stepped away to avoid being misunderstood as having bad intentions!"

"You are quite good at avoiding suspicion..." Princess Ye Na didn't know how to say it to him. She sighed and said, "We have already looked everywhere. It's okay to meet now. Let's go over and get to know each other."

Right on my mind!

My sister’s maternal elders are my elders.

More elders, more paths!

"Hello, my name is Chu Yan, and I come from a dragon family. Aunt, how should I address you?"

Chapter 62: The Empire Mommy I've Never Met! (-)

Princess Ye Na looked at the boy with an inexplicable mood, thinking that calling her "Aunt" was too easy.

I don’t even know my name, but I just start calling my senior.

After introducing themselves to each other, Chu Yan knew the other party's name and said sweetly:

"Auntie Organ? This name fits your temperament very well, quiet and melodious, like the afternoon breeze blowing across a vast and lush grassland, bringing a breath of freedom and carefreeness!"

This kind of sweet-talking and flattering is not Chu Yan's nature, nor is it because this elder is good-looking that he flatters him without any limits. He... is forced!

As a man who understands the world, Chu Yan now feels the invisible crisis brought about by internal and external troubles, and since Princess Ye Na mentioned earlier that her aunt does not like to be led by outsiders, she is expected to have a more xenophobic personality.

In order to get closer to the empire, Chu Yan had to lower his proud back and speak such greasy and flattering words.

Princess Ye Na's eyes twitched slightly. She didn't know whether to scold or laugh at this boy. She said in surprise:

"Why didn't you say this to me when we first met?"

Hello, Coconut Milk Sister...

Chu Yan complained inwardly and whispered, "It's not appropriate to say such things when we first meet. Wouldn't you feel irritated and upset?"

"..."

Princess Ye Na held her forehead with her hand and agreed that what he said was indeed inappropriate.

When the two met for the first time, Princess Ye Na showed her "domineering" side, which attracted people from the Sanctuary of Discipline. In a hurry, Chu Yan took her to hide in a nearby empty room and beat her up.

In that situation, such sweet words would somewhat exude a disgusting and nauseating smell, the kind that would give you goosebumps!

Auntie Fengqin waited until the two of them finished their whispering before she spoke softly:

"Thank you for the compliment. Did Ye Na ask you to wait here in advance?"

As she spoke, the woman's eyes slightly opened, and her bright and beautiful eyes were carefully looking at the dragon-born young man in front of her.

Even when being scrutinized openly, her gaze would not make people feel resistant.

Chu Yan shook his head, no longer using greasy words, and replied calmly:

"No, Sister Ye Na told me not to be a tour guide.

634

Aunt Organ, you prefer to check the situation at your own pace.

I am here just by coincidence, I was thinking about something and took a leisurely walk.”

After all, it was a sudden encounter, and it was not convenient for the three of them to stand in the middle of the street and chat non-stop. After a brief greeting, they found an open-air restaurant on the street and sat down.

Auntie Fengqin narrowed her eyes again, with a faint smile on her lips, and said:

"I learned from Ye Na that you helped her, but I didn't ask about the details of her adventure... It's a bit unexpected. Your family and your personal actions should be more inclined to the church. Why would you help Ye Na, an imperial man?"

Is this a background check or a way to get to know each other better?

Chu Yan felt like he was being questioned by the parents of his blind date, and felt a little restrained, but on second thought he felt it was understandable.

If it is a chance encounter during an emergency, and both parties do not have time to chat and have to cooperate to deal with the situation, then there is really nothing to talk about.

But now we are in a relaxed and casual occasion. We just met and got to know each other suddenly. If we don’t chat like this, how can we get to know each other better?

After realizing this, Chu Yan realized that he had made friends with his current companions mostly through casual interactions, and now he was not used to normal communication...

Chu Yan mourned for himself for a moment, but did not lose focus for too long. He said:

“There are superficial reasons and deep-seated reasons.

The apparent reason is that the situation is urgent and they have no choice but to do it. By the time the situation is resolved, the relationship is already close.

As for the underlying reasons, I have had frictions with the church, so what does it have to do with cooperating with the Empire? There are already Empire people among my companions. "

Ye Nai held her forehead and wanted to laugh. She reached out and touched Chu Yan's forehead, and couldn't help asking:

"Do you think this is a report? Why are you analyzing the causes separately?"

Chu Yan disagreed. His way of communication was obviously very clear, and judging from his aunt's reaction, she didn't seem to be disgusted.

He said, "I feel like if you're a military officer, it would be easier to talk like this, right?"

"Just think of Aunt Organ as a priest of the Crystal Forest. Relax a little, or you might think she's handing over your job."

After Princess Ye Na finished her explanation, she suddenly felt tired and her center of gravity leaned slightly on the back of the chair.

Aunt Organ covered her mouth and chuckled, then shook her head slightly as if she had thought of something.

Seeing this, Chu Yan couldn't help but wonder: "What did Aunt Fengqin think of? Why did she suddenly laugh?"

"Because of an accident."

The woman's tone was gentle and her temperament was so mature, but she playfully imitated Chu Yan's tone just now and said:

“The superficial and unexpected reason is that the person who killed General Shi Li actually turned to help Ye Na.

The deeper reason for the surprise is that the lord who hid behind the scenes, managed the Babel City area as his own territory, and used adventurers as his own private soldiers in a subtle plot, turned out to be such a gentle dragonborn. "

Aunt Fengqin's words were more or less meant to break the awkwardness of their first meeting, to joke with Chu Yan and make him relax a little.

But joking aside, her words also reflect her true feelings.

It has only been a short time since the empire left, but in that short period of time, Chu Yan, a person who had just set foot in the Babel city area, has turned himself into an invisible hub of the city without the help of the Dragon Clan.

His participation was indispensable in several core affairs, and after doing so many things, he has not put himself on the table. In the future, he can run away whenever he wants, with ease.

Just like the current conversation, if Chu Yan became some kind of public figure, with a status similar to that of the Lord of the Tower of Babel, he would not be able to communicate with the two imperial people in this way.

Considering the retreat of the imperial army and his actions, one cannot help but wonder if this little guy deliberately planned the whole thing.

Aunt Fengqin had to admit that after strolling along the way, the impression she had of Chu Yan was that even though he was young, he was mostly an "old" fox who was mature and shrewd.

Who could have imagined it would be like this?

Of course, it’s not that there’s anything wrong with the impression we had when we met now, it’s just that it doesn’t really fit with so many of the things he did.

When Chu Yan heard the other party's jokes, the distance between them was indeed shortened a lot. He was afraid of running into the kind of woman who liked to show off her status, like Evelyn's mother when they first met.

That's really hard to get in touch with!

"Auntie Fengqin, Sister Ye Na just said that you are a priest? Are there priests in the Yama Empire?"

"No, Ye Na just said that he was like a priest, but there is indeed a similar trend of thought in the empire right now, and Emperor Yama himself has similar ideas."

"...?"

A question mark appeared in Chu Yan’s mind.

For forces like the subhumans and the church to give rise to religious beliefs and the worship of gods, there are certain prerequisites.

How did your Yama Empire do this? !

"Let me ask you, are there any legends about gods in the Yama Empire?"

"No, the belief in gods on the continent is monopolized by the church. When the empire first started, it was just 'one' of many kingdoms."

Faith can indeed be monopolized. Apart from other things, the gods of the church really left miracles. Any fictitious gods will not be able to stand in front of the church.

635

It's all dull.

Anyone who dares to practice faith will not only fail to compete with the church, but will also be "culturally invaded" by the church.

What the empire is doing now is really dangerous!

What's going on? I was just about to escape to the Empire, and you guys are going to expose me too?

Chu Yan was already worried and asked, "So how does the Yama Empire plan to promote faith?"

“Many military scholars who study magic energy machinery sometimes feel that they are not inventors but discoverers the more they study.

Some theories are so ingenious that they magically connect many things together, as if there is a certain existence that has already designed everything, and this existence cannot be the so-called "God" of the church.

This trend of thought did not spread among the general public, but it became popular among important scholars.”

Aunt Fengqin's words reminded Chu Yan of the great scientific giants he had seen in books in his previous life. These giants became theologians as they studied...

Is this situation happening to the Empire now?

Could it be that they are going to create a deus ex machina and a Mechanic Cult?

Just now Chu Yan didn’t understand why Emperor Yama would support such a trend of thought?

Self-destructive foundation!

Now it seems that he has to support it. What can he do? The people who came up with this trend of thought are the core scholars of the empire and he cannot change them.

The empire's growth in power depends on these people.

There is no way. The people who came up with this trend of thought are the core figures who support the empire's military power.

"The Yama Emperor was worried that his country's scholars would stagnate and wanted to go with the flow, but he was also worried that if he admitted this belief, the church would take advantage of it and affect his ruling position.

And then you get into a contradiction, right? "

Aunt Organ opened her eyes again, looked at him in surprise, and smiled inexplicably:

"Now, I'm not surprised you got the city into this state.

I haven't revealed much yet, but you have already figured out the key to this trend of thought, but Ye Nai can't understand it at all, and just thinks those scholars have confused their brains with their research."

The princess with long silver hair put on a sour face and muttered:

"Isn't it? Initially, these scholars were determined to study magic machinery in order to deny the gods of the church. They firmly believed that power lies in the machinery. As a result, these scholars standing at the top are now lost in the confusion of faith."

Auntie Organ's calmness seemed to be temporarily blown away by the breeze. She sighed helplessly:

"Yana, your mother, who is also my sister, is one of the core scholars of the imperial military industry. You should understand her more."

“…???”

Chu Yan had another question mark on his head. He blinked and confirmed:

"Aunt Fengqin, is it because of our mother's thoughts that Emperor Yama is targeting Sister Ye Na?"

Chapter 61: All aunts in the world are evil! (-)

Chu Yan's words silenced the two women at the same table.

Princess Ye Na didn't quite understand the meaning of her brother's words, while Aunt Organ was once again surprised at his ability to infer information.

The Yama Empire is on a path that deviates from the mainstream of the world. Many things are brand new and have never happened anywhere else. The experience of other countries is difficult to apply to the actual development process of the Yama Empire.

Ye Na didn't understand, but Aunt Fengqin could accept it, because most people in the empire couldn't understand it. However, Chu Yan, an outsider, had obviously only been exposed to the internal situation of the empire for a short time, but he could always understand the general idea with just one sentence.

It was as if he was given the table of contents of a book called "The Yama Empire". He could figure out the following contents by looking at the table of contents, and it was almost accurate.
