You must say that the one who was so ruthless and terrifying, under the steel armor that caused a bloody storm in the royal capital, there was actually this silly and cute face hidden. It feels a bit magical.
The most important thing is that it is difficult to deal with the High Priest of Light.
If Your Majesty really goes to confirm the situation with the High Priest of Light, then everything will be over!
The gravekeeper looked at the boy coldly and couldn't help but said, "This is all your fault."
Li Xini was stunned: "How can you blame me for this?"
The gravekeeper said, "We were in a great situation, but you ruined it! If you hadn't been so willful and killed Archbishop Hart in front of so many people, how could we have fallen to this point
His Majesty has already noticed that the Kingdom of Light has descended over the capital and selected a new priest of light. There are so many witnesses, including Josiah and Cansius. "
He paused and said, "Especially Cancius, he has seen you at the Benson family's manor. Once he goes to see His Majesty, his confession will become the most unfavorable evidence to us!
Even if you insist that the person in the steel armor today is Norn, how do you explain last time? There is still a huge loophole in the High Priest of Light! "
"We had no flaws before, but now our fatal weakness has been exposed."
He said seriously: "You bastard!"
Licinius was unhappy: "How can this be my fault? We agreed that the two generations of the Night's Watch would join forces, I would be responsible for external affairs, and you would be responsible for internal affairs. This is obviously because you are incompetent, you are the one who is cheating!"
The gravekeeper sternly countered, "You may have had a blast out there, but have you ever considered how hard it would be for me to clean up your mess? You can't ask me to take three homework books and tell the dean of the department that everyone in the class has handed in everything, right?"
Licinius shot back: "How should I know? I thought the invincible gravekeeper was omnipotent!"
"Anyway, it's all your fault, you slut."
"Oh, it's all your fault, you idiot."
"Slut..."
"Scam..."
The two generations of night watchmen confronted each other, and sparks seemed to fly from their intersecting gazes.
"Don't quarrel. If people lose their morale, it will be hard to lead the team."
At this time, Dean Hodel glanced at them coldly and snorted: "You two pieces of trash!"
Licinius and the gravekeeper turned to look at him, but he was surprisingly not angry.
Instead, his eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, "Respected Dean Hodel, what do you think?"
Dean Hodel picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said calmly: "What a coincidence, I have an old relationship with the High Priestess of Light, maybe I can talk to her. After all, the Holy See has not had a priest for many years, so concealing your identity is also a kind of protection for you."
He analyzed, "Look, today in the Kingdom of Light, she did not directly announce your identity, which means that she does not trust the outside world or the Vatican."
Li Xini's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
The gravekeeper's expression eased: "That makes sense!"
Dean Hodel continued, "So, even if His Majesty goes to ask, he may not get the correct answer. As long as I go and greet the High Priest of Light, it is not a bad idea to let Little Norn replace Licinius as the High Priest of Light in public. Isn't that the solution?"
"As for the last part, regarding the issues concerning Cansius and his people, it's easy to talk about..."
He said with emotion: "I can use the power of the fate system to interfere with matters."
Licinius did not understand what this meant.
The gravekeeper understood immediately: "You still have the ability to modify the past?"
"As long as you Night Watchmen can cooperate, it won't be a problem."
Dean Hodel said calmly: "Interfering with fate, changing reality, obscuring the future, and modifying the past are my core abilities. For example, everything Licinius did in the past is part of his life experience, and I can graft this past onto Norn."
Li Xini's pupils shrank slightly. What kind of incredible ability is this!
"This ability was originally used for combat. At my peak, I could temporarily obscure a person's future, causing them to lose part of their own possibilities. I could also modify the past, making a person's past glorious or miserable, thus changing their current strength."
Dean Hodel said dimly, "Of course, all of this is temporary. Outside of battle, I usually use this to interfere with other matters. For example, when I was young, I often liked to go to the Succubus Forest to play, and I would use this ability to graft my past onto other people."
Licinius seemed to understand something: "So?"
"Of course, it was me who went to the Succubus Forest. It couldn't have been anyone else. Reality cannot be modified. No one can do such a thing. But what I can influence is other people's perceptions."
Dean Hodel smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I've been there or not, as long as others think I haven't been there. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Xini suddenly realized that this ability was extremely useful.
It's simply cheating.
If he could choose, he might even give up the power of the Demon King that has not been unlocked so far, and directly become a warlock and learn fate magic.
Practical and reliable.
"It's just that my ability is limited. Although I can't change His Majesty's cognition, I can influence Cansius and others. If you Night Watchmen can forge some evidence on the real side, such as placing a few strands of Norn's hair at the murder scene, my ability will be more perfect and flawless."
Dean Hodel put down his coffee cup and revealed the lonely expression of a master.
The gravekeeper was silent for a second: "As expected, you are the invincible Hodel."
Licinius was also silent for a second: "As expected, you are the invincible Hodel."
"Isn't this solved?"
Dean Hodel mocked, "Look at how you were just now, and that unworthy Constance is still lying dead. A mere Majesty scares you like this?"
Li Xini coughed dryly and said, "How could that be? I was just joking with the teacher just now. After all, we have the invincible Grandpa Hodel as our ally, so there is no way we can fail."
The gravekeeper nodded and said, "Yes, two generations of us are the Night's Watch. Can we not be defeated by a mere Majesty?"
"That's right, our two generations of Night Watchmen are not vegetarians."
Li Xini turned to look at his concubine next to him and said, "Did you understand everything?"
Norn shook his head expressionlessly: "No..."
Li Xini was speechless and could only say: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to understand, just do it obediently. Remember, you are now a perfect barbarian, and you have to bear all the blame, do you understand?"
Noren said "oh".
The gravekeeper said, "To be on the safe side, I will directly help her advance to level five tonight. This will be more convincing. By the way, what's up with your power of light?"
Dean Hodel also showed an interested expression and asked curiously, "Yes, how did you become the Priest of Light? I never expected that you would become Ophelia's successor."
Licinius scratched his head and sighed, "I don't know what happened. There is no way to explain many things that happened to me. I can only say that the Messiah Church seems to be hiding many secrets. It seems that the light and the abyss are not mortal enemies, but are inextricably linked."
After all, the gray fog power in his body can coexist with light.
Oh no…
That's not coexistence.
On the contrary, that power of light is like the power bestowed by evil gods.
But he doesn't know how to use it specifically yet.
Dean Hodel said with a smile, "It's okay. You can investigate slowly. Joining the Church is actually a good thing. With the cover of the identity of the Priest of Light, it will be more convenient for you to do things, right? But you have to be careful. The waters of the Church are deep. Some people do not want the next generation of the Priest of Light to appear."
Li Xini complained: "Haha, I'm lucky enough not to be exposed. I don't have any faith in light, not to mention that I'm a black magician! This is simply a mouse in a cat's nest. She even asked me to go to the Kingdom of Light and said she would wait for me there. Do I want to go or not?"
Dean Hodel smiled and said, "Go ahead, why not? You should take advantage of the Vatican as much as you can. Don't worry, since they don't doubt you now, they won't doubt you in the future."
"Well, just leave this matter to Hodel."
The gravekeeper said, "Don't worry. Hodel knows the Church very well. The teacher of this generation of the High Priest of Light was once Hodel's fanatical admirer. He will tell you how to please the High Priest. After all, no one in the world knows how to pretend to be a devout believer better than him."
The smile on Hodel's face gradually disappeared.
"In that case, I will take Norn to see His Majesty first."
He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
The gravekeeper also disappeared in an instant, and went to confront His Majesty with full confidence.
Li Xini hummed and said, "That's great. I have to go out for something as well."
He looked at his young wife affectionately and said, "Come on!"
Noren: “…”

Night falls over the desolate city of Pisen.
The moonlight was cold and mist filled the long, ruined street.
The lights were still on in the Red Rose Opera House. Tonight, the clown ticket seller was not standing at the door, but in the corridor of the auditorium, distributing red roses and popcorn to every guest.
The lights in the auditorium were bright, and the weirdos took their seats.
Some are rabbit dolls, ghosts in long skirts, the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, the princess in a white skirt and the old witch, the kind Santa Claus, and his reindeers.
A dancing music box, a headless dancer, and a polite teddy bear.
Strange things...
Daphne and Desiree had never seen so many new and strange things.
They had only seen relevant records in some legends and classics.
This was also the first time they realized that monsters did not just hurt people.
On the contrary, very friendly.
The clown uncle who just passed by gave them a lot of candy.
"Brother, it's fun here."
Daphne ate candy, sat in the front row, and shook her legs: "But I seem to remember this place."
Desiree also looked around blankly, feeling that the man looked very familiar.
Li Xini sat in the middle of them, smiled softly and said, "Okay, don't be curious, the answer will be revealed soon. This is the last time I will take you out to play before your Auntie Ranna comes back. Remember to do your homework well when you go back. I will bring you here again if you behave well."
Daphne and Desiree nodded vigorously.
Suddenly, all the lights in the opera house went out.
Faintly, a classical romantic melody sounded, and the dead played the final chapter of the music.
Countless bright rose petals fluttered in the darkness.
At this moment, a beam of light fell from the dome, illuminating the rotten corpse in the center of the stage.
He stood on the stage, looking affectionately behind the curtain, as if waiting for something.
Accompanied by the quiet and gentle melody, the sound of high heels hitting the ground is crisp and pleasant.
The woman in gorgeous dress danced gracefully and twirled around in her dance.
Under the light, she was so beautiful, with her long silver-gray hair flying and her white neck as elegant as a swan.
The red roses in the opera house spun around her like fluttering butterflies.
"Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance?"
The corpse stretched out his hand and spoke gently.
The woman spun gracefully in front of him, her high heels fell to the ground, and she stopped dancing.
She stretched out her right hand and placed it against the corpse's hand.
For a moment, the corpse seemed to come back to life as its decaying features became plump and radiant in the spotlight, reappearing the handsome features of its youth.
Melodious melodies echoed on the stage. Men and women danced soulfully hand in hand, spinning and dancing freely under the spotlight, with their fingers tightly clasped together, as if even life and death could not separate them.
"Dad, Mom..."
Before they knew it, Daphne and Desiree were already in tears.
Li Xini touched the heads of the two little girls and snapped his fingers.
Countless monsters stood up at this moment and took out the wooden signs they had hidden in advance.
"Mom and Dad will always love you."
Chapter 249: Queen vs. Savage Woman, Who Was Killed
Late at night, the depths of the palace were brightly lit.
When Your Majesty, as a seventh-level demigod, has quelled the rebellion in the forbidden land and returned safely to the capital, the empire will hold the first parliament of the new year as per previous years' practice.
