Can't I develop my own character?

Half an hour later, Ryan got what he wanted from Potter.

Just as he thought, the Fire Covenant had a lot of information about Alvin, but as for the 30,000 Royal Army, there was only information about some officers. Then Ryan connected the information together... Wuhu~there was indeed a problem.

These are basically the people from the Second Emperor’s faction!

"So what does Old Deng want to do? He's played his son to death, marginalized his daughter in the southern border, and even restricted the Grand Duke. Could it be that he wants to support the Fourth Prince to take the throne?"

I have to say, you are worthy of being the emperor... Your Majesty, I am your most loyal subject!

Ryan was thankful he still had the Chaser's disguise. Given his current situation, he could be considered an undercover agent alongside Maganna and Casradi... Well, he probably didn't need to be so wary of his own daughter, right? Her Highness the Princess had already taken a seat at the children's table.

After witnessing this great brawl in the Western Territory, the Southern Territory is indeed just a small fight, like children playing house. Her Royal Highness the Princess's three territories combined have less than 10,000 troops, and they are just rookie recruits.

If it weren't for the killer 'Xali', the riots in the territory alone would be enough to give Casladi a headache.

By the way, Ryan is very distressed now. Because of 'Xia Li's' feat of burning the Hicks front, the evil forces in the three major city territories fled on trains overnight and went directly to the neighboring countries to cause trouble. They didn't play with 'Xia Li' at all, making it impossible for her to kill monsters and level up.

The most direct evidence is that several groups of bandits from Berman City have recently appeared in the neighboring territory of Kells. As a result, Miss "Weine" has to devote more energy to the bandit suppression operation.

However, Shirley's fame had its benefits. Not long ago, the imperial capital issued a decree that elevated Shirley from commoner to viscount, breaking free from the shackles of social status. This event shocked many nobles, and if it weren't for the Western Territory's chaos, this would have been the most talked about topic.

'Xia Li', soaring to success!

You know, it is very difficult to obtain a noble title. Even if Casradi wants to, he has to apply to the old emperor.

The reason for the jump in rank was that 'Xia Li' had outstanding military achievements. The old emperor even gave 'Xia Li' the three cities of Kosotoa in the southern border and asked her to 'guard the national border'. However, Kasladi was still a lord of a higher rank, at least in name.

However, there was still no news about the title that Casradi had applied for Ryan earlier. It seemed as if the old emperor had forgotten about it, which made Casradi very confused.

Instead of conferring the title on Ryan, he conferred the title on his "subordinates", and even gave them a viscount position, nominally giving them a territory. What does my father want to do?

Anyone with a little ambition would probably have an idea like 'Xia Li'.

I'm so talented, why should I work for Ryan?

In fact, why should he follow a down-and-out princess like me?

Although she didn't want to think so, Casradi felt that her father was secretly restricting her development.

This made the already troubled family of Kasradi even worse... Ryan, Ryan, please come back soon! Your subordinates can no longer control it!

The Western Territory was in complete chaos. If she asked Ryan to build relationships with Maganna at this time, or to form an alliance, wouldn't that just be digging her own grave? If her old father really wanted to suppress her, this would be a ready-made excuse.

Unfortunately, Ryan can't go back now because...'Lin Qi' is here.

...

'Lin Qi' is here.

The news that has recently spread throughout the Rhea continent is that the Gate of Janus has welcomed a new saint!

You should know that the position of the Saint has actually been vacant for many years. The previous Saint was the current Pope Lilvia. It was only because the previous Pope was corroded by the power of foreign gods and died in the chaotic space that Lilvia was appointed to the position of Saint.

But since her, the Janus Gate has not produced anyone qualified to become a saint for almost thirty years.

After all, the assessment is fixed, and there is no way to pass it. You can't just hang a saint on the Gate of Janus, right?

That is disrespectful to God!

And Lilvia is also a capable person, otherwise there were so many big figures in the Gate of Janus back then, and she would not have been able to defeat all the competitors to become Pope. After all, this thing is not designated.

It is not a good thing for other countries that a capable person becomes the leader of the giant Janus Gate.

Therefore, when Lin Qi brought a group of paladins from the Gate of Janus to the Western Territory, the attention of the entire Augustus Empire was drawn to them.

The Gate of Janus revealed the purpose of Lin Qi's action, which was to act as a peacemaker.

Then the situation immediately became delicate.

Although the old emperor has not commented on Alvin's death, the second prince is crazy. He publicly accused Maganna of rebellion, and the gathering of the Red Tiger Guards also shows that the civil war in the empire is becoming uncontrollable.

What does the Janus Gate want to do by getting involved at this time?

To put it bluntly, there is no need to attract hatred for yourself. Being a rational person is difficult and makes people dislike you.

But Lin Qi still came, bringing only a thousand paladins. However, when she and her men arrived at Childe, Maganna directly sent people to stop them, and they were not even allowed to enter the city gate.

Coming in by train?

Do not make jokes!

Maganna had already blocked the train route into Childe in the past few days to prevent the empire from being infiltrated by traitors at this critical moment.

The Grand Duke was indeed a tough guy. Not only did he slap the old emperor in the face, but he also refused to give up the face of the Janus Gate.

Ryan saw that this was not a solution. Grand Duke, you only have your hands and feet, do you want to beat ten people?

"Grand Duke, why don't you let Lin Qi in first?" Ryan found Maganna and persuaded her, "Whether you listen to her or not, let's be polite first and then use force, so that the imperial capital won't take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."

Magna: "Lin Qi? Who?"

"It's the Saint of the Gate of Janus, who you've blocked from the city."

"Oh, it's her. Why should we be polite to those charlatans of Janus? But... forget it. You go and arrange this matter. I will entertain the people from the Gate of Janus." Maganna is very busy now and has no time to care about "Lin Qi" and "Lin Ba".

Wait, that name sounds familiar? Never mind. It's unimportant, not worth being remembered by me, Maganna.

Ryan thought to himself, what is my identity? I am not a member of your Iron Blood Army. Has Ning forgotten that I am actually a traitor?

I'm representing Princess Casradi!

However, seeing that Maganna was not interested, Ryan found Gluck and asked him to help bring in the people from Janus' Gate and arrange for their accommodation first.

Then Ryan went to find Lin Qi on behalf of Kasiladi. After all, the two sides were good friends. Now that Lin Qi had become successful, he couldn't forget his brothers, right?

Of course, this step still needs to be done in front of outsiders, to let them know that he is not Grand Duchess Maganna's lackey, he is loyal to Her Majesty the Princess!

"Alas~Lin Qi, you shouldn't have come."

in the room.

Lin Qi sat down to drink tea and eat snacks, while Ryan walked back and forth, thinking about the next plan of action.

"But you're still here."

He muttered to himself.

"The problem now is... if we can use the power of the Janus Gate to ease the relationship between the Western Territory and the Empire, that would be great. Otherwise, the Grand Duke is truly doomed. The old emperor must be plotting something, and the princess's power is too weak. Only Maganna can fight, so she can't fall."

"We need time. We need to grow slowly, understand? The best thing is to be stable. The South, the West, and the Empire. Then we can cultivate accounts like crazy, endure hardships, and wait until our team is big enough to conquer the continent in one fell swoop. What do you think?"

Ryan turned around and saw Lin Qi eating a biscuit with both hands. He walked over and took the biscuit off and put it on the plate.

"Still eating? It's already late. Do something useful!"

Lin Qi raised his head and nodded slightly: "You are right."

Ryan's fists hardened.

Ai, what use are you!

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door——

"Saint, Grand Duke Maganna is here."

Chapter 81: Princess Saint, Ryan is always my man! [6k]

Maganna remembered who 'Lin Qi' was.

When Adler was killed and Ryan was promoted to the position, she specially asked someone to investigate Ryan to confirm that his background was clean and there was no traitor before she felt at ease to train him.

During the investigation of Ryan, it was discovered that 'Lin Qi' was just a little Camilla in the Janus Church and had a good relationship with Ryan. Maganna glanced at her and didn't pay any attention.

Who would have thought that the little nun would become the Saint of the Gate of Janus in the blink of an eye?

I was wondering why Ryan was so anxious. I just ordered the people from Janus Gate to be blocked outside the city. What does this have to do with him? What's the point of using courtesy first and then force? It's just that he can't bear to see Lin Qi being blocked outside.

This Grand Duke wants to see what charm this 'Lin Qi' has!

Maganna originally didn't care about the Janus Gate. The rational thing was just like the Janus Gate's daily propaganda about God and grace, which was just a bunch of useless nonsense. But she had to be careful. Ryan was her favorite at the moment, and he couldn't be snatched away by the Janus Gate.

There's no other way. Without Creed, the Iron Blood Legion can't find a suitable military advisor. McCoys is the most capable of strategy, but he has some strategy, but not much. The remaining charge and kill formations are good, but they need to use their brains...

Forget it then.

Alas, there are not so many perfect people in the world who are as brave and resourceful as me.

Of course, Magna wasn't worried about Ryan's betrayal. She mainly wanted to see what was different about this guy who could become a saint at the speed of light. Was he a supernatural being? Or was he possessed by Janus?

"Grand Duke, why are you here?"

outside the room.

Ryan was a little puzzled. Aren’t you very busy?

"Let me take a look." Magna's eyes swept across the room, finally landing on Lin Qi. "The Saint of the Janus Gate?"

"Hello, Grand Duchess Maganna."

"Don't you Janus Gate know whether I'm good or not? Tell me, little Saint, what did that Lilvia guy ask you to do? If it's for world peace, then forget it. Augustus has never had peace. Or maybe you could just ask that old man in the Imperial Capital to come down and give up his position, and then maybe there would be peace."

Maganna spoke without any politeness. Although the Grand Duchess was small in stature, she had a bad temper. She had just fought a battle with the Empire and was still angry.

You come here to lobby for me, aren't you asking for trouble?

In the end, Lin Qi said calmly, "I am only here to convey the Pope's intentions. If you don't want a ceasefire, forget it."

"I...huh??" Magna was stunned, and all the words in her mouth suddenly stopped flowing... She doesn't care? She actually doesn't care! Then what can I say?

Maganna suddenly felt like she had punched cotton.

"You really don't care?" she asked.

"Does it matter if I care? Will you listen if I say ceasefire?"

"will not."

"Then why should I care? This is none of my business."

"..."

Maganna was silent. She was speechless?

"You're right, this is none of your business..." She quickly added, "Now that you know, it's good. Just stay here for the next two days. I can have someone take you wherever you want to go. When you've had enough fun, come back early."

"Let's go Ryan, let's go back..."

Wait, that's not the case.

Magna suddenly realized what was happening and changed her tone. "Didn't you say before that the princess wanted to discuss the alliance with me? Let's go back and discuss it."

Huh~ Huh~ That was close. I almost got used to it. Before, the people from Janus Gate were not here. They were all her people, so there was no problem in showing a good relationship with Ryan, but now outsiders are here.

If others knew that Ryan was actually her man, then Ryan's plan to lurk in Berman City would be completely ruined.

Fortunately, I am smart and quick to react.

"Grand Duke Maganna, I think there is no need to rush this matter. Isn't the most urgent task to resolve the plight of the Western Territory? After all, if you separate from the empire, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not ally with you against the Emperor's will." Ryan said.

Maganna thought to herself, Ryan, you are acting with me, that's right, after all, there are outsiders here.

She was about to say something when Lin Qi nodded in agreement: "Lian is right. The situation in the Western Territory is indeed rather awkward right now. No one is likely to form an alliance with you under such circumstances."

Maganna was stunned. What are you agreeing with? You just said you didn't care, but now you are analyzing it seriously?

"Oh, Lin Qi, do you think so too? I think so too. Based on my understanding of Her Royal Highness the Princess, she will definitely not agree. Oh, this is troublesome." Ryan said in annoyance.

Lin Qi said, "Don't worry. If Grand Duchess Maganna is willing to listen to my advice, Emperor Augustus will have people from the Janus Gate to persuade her. This way, the Empire can return to normal order."

Ryan worriedly asked, "Is it that simple? A duke died this time, and the Second Prince has been spreading rumors of a rebellion in the Western Territory. Even if the Emperor agrees to make peace, the nobles in the Senate won't agree, right?"

"Don't worry about that." Lin Qi took a sip of the black tea and said, "The Pope will find a way."

"That's great!" Ryan's expression lit up. "Grand Duke Maganna, did you hear that? The Janus Gate is willing to help resolve the predicament here. If Your Majesty and the Senate agree, then there will be no more trouble in the Western Territory! In this way, Her Royal Highness the Princess should also reconsider the alliance!"

"..."

Magna tilted her head slightly and looked at Ryan without saying a word.

Are you serious?

She felt that Ryan should be cooperating with her to play the role of the saint, that should be the case... right?
