The end of the Paladin Age did not bring about the result of everything that the Holy See expected to return to its original state. Or to be more precise, the situation became worse than the Paladin Age.

Gray almost completely lost the support of the residents of the Lion King Capital, but the residents of Baicheng still supported him, even more supportive than before.

Since the Battle of White City, the people of the Principality of Besheir have looked down on the people of the Lion King Capital, and there is a sense of "I have to support you if you object."

"You are the Paladin of our Principal of Beshir! We will always support you! Go to the Lion King Capital of that mother! That's a group of ungrateful guys!"

"Sir Paladin! When will we attack the Lion King? I am ready to let my two sons join the army to fight for you!"

"Long live the Paladin!"

"When will our Duke Beshir be made king? The Holy See? Haha, who wants them to enthrone?"

When I returned to White City, Grey heard these words the most.

As for the rumor that Shelley is a demon... Oh, no one believes it at all. At least no one believes it in Baicheng, because Shelley grew up in Baicheng. This famous rude woman in the Gruglu family, the people of Baicheng know her very well. The demon doesn't look like this.

Regardless of whether it was recognized or not, the Kingdom of Isaac was actually divided. Not only the Principality of Besir, but also the territory of Duke Fernandez and Duke Tangis, who still retained their complete combat power, have completely escaped from the control of the Lion Palace. This is even the case with some earls directly under the royal family.

It can be said that the Sharp royal family has been completely abolished.

Now Benedict II cannot control the territory that was originally under the royal family, and even a complete army cannot be established. It is even more impossible to attack the nobles who deviate from the royal family.

Of course, this is still a trivial matter for the Holy See, and the Holy See has no time to care about it.

In fact, as long as the three great dukes do not claim to be kings, the division of the entire Kingdom of Isaac is a trivial matter for the Holy See. They can ignore any number of people who starve to death. Anyway, just say: "Suffering is to clear the sins you have committed."

You have to admit that professional charlatans can always find perfunctory words like panacea, not to mention that there is still some time before the real famine breaks out.

What is causing trouble to the Holy See now is the southern countries.

Due to previous events, the Holy See's prestige in the southern countries declined rapidly. Later, Gray was forced to evacuate the Lion King capital, and the Holy See thought that its prestige could quickly recover as it was before. However, in fact, it was not.

"Of course a Paladin who threatens us is a bad thing, but isn't he no longer threatened now? Why do you think we will need the Holy See without the Paladin?"

The league that was originally secretly collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye as Gray withdrew from this competition.

The nobles, including the royal families of various countries, quickly occupied the voice of the Holy See. They were not happy to see everything return to their original state. They wanted real royal power, rather than royal power under the leadership of the divine power. So a drama of hypocrisy began.

Shelley's transformation in front of Pierce Cathedral, countless people saw with their own eyes that there were demons around Gray. Originally, this should have been a fatal blow to knock down Gray's prestige. If the Holy See was properly promoted.

However, this turned out to be a blow to knock down the authority of the Holy See. Because part of his original propaganda machine had been rebellious.

This matter is a bit complicated.

Gray's fiancée is a demon, which is undoubtedly the ironclad evidence that the Paladin has fallen. Just as the Holy See was quietly promoting this, the nobles who were already malicious about the Holy See asked a question that the Holy See could not answer: "So, why don't you directly announce the deprivation of the Paladin title? If the Paladin has really fallen, shouldn't the Holy See stand up and start the jihad? If the Holy See does not start the jihad, can we think that the Pope has also fallen with the Paladin?"

One sentence is enough to make all the clergy who were proudly sarcastic about Gray the moment before, and every slap on Gray's face also hit them in the face. The prestige of the Holy See has declined even more.

Who would have thought of it?

When the Paladins faced them, their reputation declined. When the Paladins' prestige declined, their reputation was tied to the Paladins and continued to decline.

After all, the real problem is that unknown relationship: the Holy See cannot recognize Gray's actions, but cannot deprive Gray of the title of Paladin. Because no one can do this without the will of the Holy Spirit.

The political logic network woven on the mainland for millions of years, which is different from the sacred faith, suddenly turned into a rope tied to the neck of the Holy See.

Without the royal families and nobles suppressed by the Holy See, various acts began, making the Holy See exhausted. At the same time, the Principality of Beschill, which should have been in the center of the vortex, was as peaceful and peaceful as if it had been forgotten.

After all, there is no Holy See here, only Paladins. There is no conflict between Paladin Gre, who represents the divine power, and Irene, the Duke of Besheil, who represents secular power.

I returned to Baicheng at the end of June, rectified the internal forces in July, and placed the troops surrendered to Gray. Although Baicheng's finances are tight and it is definitely impossible to keep so many troops in captivity for a long time, if we only talk about food, it is located in the south south than the Lion King, and the Principality of Beschill, which has good weather all year round, is definitely more than enough.

In early August, Gray set out to seek support from various countries. The first stop was to choose the Kingdom of Fides to the west.

"The Kingdom of Fides has the best relationship with us. Of course, the most important thing is that we have never fought with them. However, if we want to go, we must cross the Cazes Mountains." Irene said.

So, Grey now took the entire Knights and gifts to King Fides, and wandered around the Cazes Mountains.

"Actually, I have a simpler way." Andrew, who was irritated by mosquitoes in the mountains and forests, said: "We can bring nothing, just go with me. I sneaked into the Palace of Fides in the middle of the night and shaved my head directly for the sleeping king. The next day he would agree to everything. He would worry that if he didn't agree, the next time he would not see him, it would not be his hair, but his whole head."

"But this is a threat, we can't do it." Gray replied seriously.

"If you are inconvenient, I can do it alone. In fact, the Pope sometimes asks me to do this, otherwise how can I get the position of the chief wizard of the Mage Alliance? Isn't that the case with the sacred faith?"

"That is his sacred faith, not mine. We must make them willingly hand over their food, in exchange, or promise. Those who help us with kindness should not suffer losses. Otherwise, we are encouraging malice." Gray said solemnly.

Helplessly, Andrew could only spread his hands and said, "Okay, whatever you want. I don't care, but your bride may not be able to stand it."

Gray looked back at Shelley who was falling behind.

"Wow! I've got a bag on my hand again! It's too much!" Shelley was so harassed by mosquitoes that she almost collapsed.

It has to be said that the jungle in the south is simply a nightmare for ordinary people, especially the nobles.

Gray turned his horse's head and walked to the back, then quietly emitted a little of the undead aura on his body.

"Huh! What's going on?" Shelley looked at the mosquitoes that were originally surrounding him and scattered, and was stunned: "Why did they all fly away?"

"Because I'm by your side," said Gray.

"Because you are by my side? Is it because you have the blessing of the Holy Spirit?" Shelley exclaimed, "It's so great!"

A lich, a normal creature must not want to mess with.

Of course, it’s a different story to be abnormal. The dwarf robbers are still following closely behind.

"Boss, when did we do it? We have been following us all day."

"Wait, for such a big customer, we must be patient."

"So, boss, when exactly should we start to outwit our wits?"

"After I think of how to outwit my wisdom!"

"I understand, boss!"

The journey was boring and boring, so boring that she had no mosquito harassment after Shelley began to yawn.

Gray was not bored at all, because Vivian and Catherine had endless topics to argue.

In any case, the road is to go step by step.

After a whole day, the sun finally set. After walking for a while, they were ready to camp and rest. The main reason was that Shelley was really tired.

"I...my butt hurts." She said with a sad face: "It's so uncomfortable. I feel like my butt is not my own."

"Is this what a lady should say?" Black Cat complained.

"Why don't you take a carriage tomorrow? We have a carriage." Gray asked.

"No! I'm going to walk next to you!"

The people watching next to him sighed helplessly.

"So why did you bring her here? It's just a drag on the entire team." Andrew rolled his eyes.

"You should be glad to bring her." Jones murmured in a low voice: "If she doesn't come, you will be the one who drags the entire team. If you don't come, I will be the one who drags the entire team."

The sleep time required by humans every day is greater than the sleep time required by elves every day, and the rest time required by the blood clan every day.

As for the undead, the undead does not need rest at all.

In any case, they finally started camping. The mallet following behind finally breathed a sigh of relief. The corners of their mouths slowly rose, and a crazy smile appeared.

"Damn, I thought they didn't have to sleep anymore! That's great! When we enter the night, we will be the world!"

"Hahahaha! Our world! Our world!" The dwarfs gathered together excitedly to listen to the boss's teachings.

Bangchi said seriously: "First, let's wait for them to set up the camp! Then!"

"Snatch them all!" The subordinates interrupted him and roared in unison.

"No!" Bangmai stopped him and said, "We have to wait for them to finish their meal! Then!"

"Snatch them all!" The subordinates continued to interrupt him and roared in unison.

"No!" Bangmai continued to stop and said, "We have to wait for them to sing a song around the bonfire! What do humans always like to do! Then!"

"Snatch them all!"

Bangmao grabbed the bandage closest to him and hit his forehead directly on the bandage's face. In an instant, the bandage's nose splattered blood. The bandage twitched twice and fainted.

The other subordinates were stunned.

Pushing away the fainting bandage, applying a handful of blood from his face that was sprayed, Bangmao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the idiot is gone. Does anyone else want to interrupt me now?"

The dwarves were so scared that they shook their heads.

A smile gathered on his hideous face again, and Bangmai said with a snicker: "When they fall asleep, we will rush in and then rob them all! This is the out-of-witness! The out-of-witness! They will definitely not think of being attacked while sleeping! This is the wisdom of the dwarf!"

"Snatch them all!" The dwarf, who seemed to have only seven seconds of memory, screamed in excitement again.

"Huh, what are they cheering?" In the distance, Gray stretched his neck and looked in the direction where the dwarf was.
