As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

But as the eldest prince whom the church wants to support, he can take away the last "trophy".

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Helius is looking at Xiaoye as an “object”.

Over the years, Xiaoye has long become his relative.

Even if the other party always regards himself as a servant.

What really disgusted Helius, and even made him hate her a little, was actually the instigator of all this, that is, the church that looked bright and beautiful on the outside!

Without the existence of the church, the world would never have become so "rotten" and sick.

If the church did not exist, the Holy Empire would not have become the second... "Dragon Clan"!

It was clearly an organization established with the original goal of "changing the world so that all races in the world can live a better life."

But in the end...

Others may not be clear, but Helius is well aware of a history that can be called sinful.

Their hero, the hero of mankind, the hero of the Holy Empire, was actually killed by the Church.

He died on the execution platform which was supposed to "punish" criminals.

And the church that caused all this, the church that led the world into chaos, is still high above, like the savior of this world, the only "God".

It makes people believe blindly.

"Morning Star Hall... Isn't Mr. Morning Star going to investigate your target? Why is he going to Blood Moon Island?"

Inissa was also slightly stunned.

Since we want to investigate Asfield, of course we have to get closer to the camp of the Holy Kingdom.

Going to Blood Moon Island?

It's not a nice place to be.

Not to mention the attitude that the Lizardmen have always had towards humans.

If Chenxing goes there like this, he will probably encounter some troubles.

This is so contradictory and far-fetched......

Inissa thought about it and suddenly remembered something.

Demon blood, increasing casualties on the battlefield with Blood Moon Island...

Blood Moon Island represents the devil.

"You mean to say..."

"Hush, just be clear. Some things don't need to be said too clearly, otherwise it will not be good for you, me, or even Mr. Morning Star."

Helius smiled and made a gesture to silence him.

In the Holy Kingdom, the Church's spies could be present at any time and in any place.

The seemingly inconspicuous stalls, passers-by everywhere, and even your closest people, they may all be members of the church.

After so many years, the church has long been like an ancient elven tree, deeply rooted in the land of the Holy Kingdom!

What Helius wants to do is actually the same as what Morningstar wants to do on Blood Moon Island.

Uprooted!

For a giant like the church, such a goal sounds like a fantasy.

But if there really was no way, how could Helius have made this his goal?

What he has been lacking is actually just an opportunity!

An opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole!

And it just so happened that Morning Star gave him this opportunity.

An opportunity called "Elite Bloodline Training Program"!

Any kingdom or organization that wants to truly become a ruler often cannot avoid one thing.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!

This is also the only truth that Helius has obtained in the thousands of years of history in this world!

The reason why the former Dawn Kingdom was so strong that the Holy Kingdom had to "win it over" by forming an alliance was precisely because the people there believed in their Saint unconditionally!

The reason why the Elf Forest is called "paradise" and "pure land" is because the elves are wholeheartedly devoted to their ancient elven trees.

And now, Gruulit Morningstar has also received support from those around him, and support from these former "believers" of others.

This is also the case in the Holy Kingdom.

People trust the church because the church really brings them peace, and the heroes who founded the church really give them harmony and stability.

But what if this "faith" collapses?

The reason why the church did not allow the kingdom's high-ranking officials and royal family members to participate in that plan was actually very simple.

If they really get to know the "dark side" of the church, their identities might start to be exchanged at that moment!

Perhaps the church has buried this plan in the graveyard of the past.

Perhaps some truths have already been burned in the hands of the church.

But as long as there is a trace, there are also the ashes left after burning.

All of these are enough to break the current balance within the Holy Kingdom.

Even Helius had his eldest brother to thank.

If it weren't for Asfield's heavy casualties on the battlefield, such a chance would actually be extremely slim.

The direction of public opinion, past clues, everything is now in front of Helius.

Helius also knew that he had to take this step.

Even if...

Once you fail, the outcome will be more than just crushed to pieces.

But he had to gamble.

Especially looking at the people coming and going on the street, those busy figures.

Dedicating oneself to one's beliefs and one's country is what it means to die without regrets.

It's just a pity...

Helius shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

As for the so-called regrets, let’s wait until the day when we really fail.

"We are here, Master Inesa, where I was born, and where every prince is born."

Helius looked at the abandoned church in front of him.

Originally, all the people involved in the plan had everything under the complete monitoring and control of the church.

But only...

Asfield's past as a prince as well!

Since the church wants to support a new king who can truly be in control, it naturally has to bear... the corresponding risks!

It was just a pity that he still found this risk!

Chapter 20: One Hundred Years of Darkness and Loneliness

Several people came to the front of the church, and as Helius activated a magic item that looked like a gem, they entered the church without hesitation.

The interior of the entire church is actually much neater and more refined than it appears from the outside.

Especially the spotless statue, it doesn't look like it has been abandoned for a long time.

"Don't worry, the royal family has always been responsible for cleaning this place. No one will leave any traps here, not even the church would dare to do so!"

Compared to Inissa beside him, Helius was much calmer.

It seemed that it was certain from the beginning that the church would not extend its hand here.

But the more this happened, the more curious Inissa became.

After all, that is the church. Is there any place in this Holy Kingdom that the church dare not interfere?

To be on the safe side, and also to help Morning Star gather intelligence, Inissa asked cautiously, "Are you so sure that the church wouldn't dare?"

In response to Inissa's question, Helius just smiled and shook his head.

"This can be said to be a restricted area of ​​the church. Someone has left a curse here. Anyone who has anything to do with the church cannot set foot here!"

Xiaoye, who was pushing the wheelchair, explained softly.

Although this was just a "little story" that His Highness Helius had told her.

But she naturally trusted the other party unconditionally.

"A curse? With the means of the church, and a curse that can scare them all?"

"It seems that our great scholar also has things that he doesn't know."

Helius smiled and motioned for Xiaoye to stop.

"Two or three hundred years ago, there was a turmoil in the Holy Church. You should know about this, right?"

"Of course I know. After all, that was a rare incident in the world where seven Adventers appeared in the Holy Empire at the same time. What is the connection between these two events? Or was the curse left by the Adventers?"

Hearing this, Inissa also frowned.

If it were any other situation, it wouldn't make her so nervous.

The problem is, among those seven adventers, there is a real lunatic.

That was also the first time in thousands of years that the Holy Nation was nearly tricked into a sewer!

"As far as I know, the seven Adventers were actually controlled by the church at that time, and they wanted to use them for their own purposes. It can even be said that the so-called elite bloodline training plan was also in its infancy at that time. However, the church at that time was more focused on the Adventers who could influence the world, but it was a pity..."

Helius said this with a smile that could be considered a rare, heartfelt laugh from the bottom of his heart.

An unarmed comer who had not yet transformed his talent into strength destroyed the church's plan that had been brewing for hundreds of years.

But the other party managed to escape unscathed!

"You mean, the founder of the Adventurer's Guild left a curse here? No! He had just arrived at this time. Even if the Adventers were indeed gifted, it would be impossible for them to master a curse of this level in such a short time, right?"

Inissa still felt something was wrong.

What Helius wanted to express was definitely not as simple as it sounded!

"Of course he can't do it alone. Speaking of which... Miss Inissa, do you know what the original goal of the elite bloodline training program was?"

"Isn't it a large-scale 'production' of combat power comparable to that of the Adventers?"

"That's right. But the Adventers have such a special bloodline that naturally we must use the best bloodline to combine with them... To be precise, it's a combination of souls. After all, for the church, the stability of reshaping a soul is far greater than the next generation born from the combination of bodies where everything is unknown!"

When Helius said this, Inissa's eyes widened visibly.

The union of souls, a plan made hundreds of years ago...

According to the calculation of time, the Holy Kingdom at that time seemed to be conducting a search for the dragon relics at the same time.

That is to say...

"Dragon! The Church wants to combine the soul of a giant dragon with the soul of the Adventer!!"

This is simply... absurd and outrageous thing like a fairy tale.

How can the human soul withstand the terrifying soul power of the dragon clan?

People say that the founders of the Adventurer's Guild were ten lunatics, but now it seems that the church is the one!

"Only demons are good at soul-related technology. The church thought they really controlled a demon from ancient times, but the demon finally chose that madman!"

"The demon from ancient times, sealed by Shen Mo on Blood Moon Island..."

"That's right, Michael Demiurge! The plan that the church failed to complete was finally completed by that man and that demon. Although the final product has long disappeared in the long river of history, the descendants of that product are still there, that is, the red-haired demon Agnes that we are all familiar with!"
