"Dear Lord Marquis of Northwind, as you expected, the believers of the Church have once again come to my territory. This time they are no longer open and aboveboard, but sneaking in secretly."
"Perhaps they are still looking for the truth."
"Under the greatness of God of Light, there are shadows that cannot be illuminated by the sun, and it seems that other nobles have discovered their identities. They asked me what the relationship between the empire and the Church is. Maybe this will affect the attitude of the nobles towards the Church missionaries."
"The nobles are speculating about the true meaning of Master Marquis's arrival at Northwind Province. Whether he is spreading faith for God of Light to resist the majesty of Church of Dawn."
"If so, why did people from the Church appear in Northwind Province? If not, then why did people from the Church come here."
"I can't tell them that a the Church priest died in my territory, so they are already doubting my loyalty to the empire and the great Columbus."
"Perhaps soon, the Church's missionaries will contact other nobles."
Ryan folded the letter paper without branding it with a badge. He couldn't leave any evidence.
Give the letter to Bilder, and Ryan writes the second letter.
"Mr. Viscount, it's not that I don't want to enter Otherworld Plane. It's really the experience not long ago that makes me frightened. That powerful Magical Beast, even a hundred of my Knight Retainer cannot kill it."
"Furthermore, Natives people say that the Deities that may exist has awakened. The mountain with a big bite taken out of it is the best evidence, which prevents us from even mining Magic Crystal Mine."
"Forgive me for not being able to command the army myself. Maybe you can think of other ways."
"However... I sincerely suggest that you should probably focus on the plane of Northwind Province instead of Otherworld."
"Perhaps you don't know that people from the Church have already appeared in the province, and I heard that a missionary, a future bishop of the Church, died here."
"They are looking for the truth, but perhaps the obvious answer is the noble man who lives on Thundercloud Mountain."
"Marquis of Northwind didn't do anything after he came to the province. Maybe, we just saw that he didn't do anything."
"To tell you the truth, the missionary's body was found on Frozen Earth Territory. I suspect... that it was the reason why I stood up and took back the land that belonged to us on Thundercloud Mountain."
"Marquis-sama's temper is said to be not very good. You also know this."
Ryan wrote casually that the handwriting he wrote was eight percent true and two percent false. It looked very real, and even if it was leaked, it would not be blamed on him.
Such as what is said in this letter.
Ryan said that Marquis of Northwind did nothing. In fact, in Marquis of Northwind's opinion, Ryan knew what he was doing and even provided advice and help for it.
This little bit of doubt can make Marquis think that this letter was not written by Ryan himself.
If questioned at that time, Ryan will refuse to admit it. Coupled with various transactions, this letter will naturally not be true.
Finally, Ryan wrote another letter to the two earls.
The two letters were completely different. They probably asked the count about his recent food and drink, and then vaguely mentioned that a missionary from the Church died in Frozen Earth Territory. The cause of death was a punctured heart, a small wound, but fatal enough.
He asked Count Winter if he took action because Northwind City couldn't get the tax money.
Also asked Count Soron if it could be Count Winter's method.
He did not intend to get any response to these letters. The first letter was to ask Marquis of Northwind to take more care of the missionary.
Better to kill them.
The second letter simply muddied the waters.
The letter to the two earls, in fact, he did not need the truth.
Anyway, the murderer is between the two earls. All he needs to do is to let the other earl look suspiciously at the real murderer.
Because he actually wrote a letter and openly told the two earls about his troubles here.
Then, to a great extent, the suspicion that he is the murderer has been eliminated.
The earl who was not the murderer would naturally be wary of the other earl who actually did it.
When the time comes, whatever the count plans to do with the missionary's death cannot leave any trace behind.
Ryan is still very good at causing trouble for others.
"This is an opportunity. Take more care of the Azure Lion Tribe. If Azure Lion Tribe is still uninterested, add another Black Bear Tribe. Two feuding families, one will expand and the other will not remain indifferent."
"It just so happens that the Mountain Forest riot caused a lot of losses to the nobles. The tribe annexation between Natives will not be noticed in a short time."
"However, I can't go there in person, so I can only ask Natives to come out and receive the blessing."
"It can also prepare you for accepting these Nativess in the future. Nativess who come to Frozen Earth Territory will naturally miss this place. It's not bad."
Lord Ryan laughed. He seemed to be in the center of the whirlpool, but he stood outside the whirlpool and stared at the entire Northwind Province.
"Archbishop, do you really think it can't be that Marquis of Northwind?"
Behind Adriana, a missionary had sunken eyes. He had not slept for several days, blaming his heart for not being able to find the murderer of Father Buffett.
This is a provocation to the Church, but no nobles in the empire are willing to cooperate with them, except for Baron Ryan, who is constantly favoring him.
Red-haired Woman's Archbishop was silent for a while. They had indeed encountered many obstacles. In the empire, even ordinary people did not dare to approach them, the Church personnel.
"Archbishop, I plan to... use myself as bait."
The preacher with tired eyes said firmly.
"I'm going to preach. If Marquis of Northwind can't help it, maybe I will die. When the time comes, I will definitely leave evidence."
"For the glory of my Lord! For the glory of Dawn!"
The missionary's eyes were wild and he left the team.
A few days later, the news that the Church missionaries were preaching in Iron Mountain County spread throughout Northwind Province, and all the nobles were terrified.
Especially Viscount Walter of Iron Mountain County, he is a viscount and a county guard.
But at this moment, he had no choice. The missionary was beaten and scolded, and he did not resist no matter what. However, he firmly spread the teachings of the Church and fanatically called for the glory of Dawn.
The nobles did not dare to kill him at all, because he was holding a cross, which was a the Church priest preparer.
The more conflicts there are between the empire and the Church, the more the nobles have to be careful not to make mistakes. No one knows whether this missionary is from the Church who deliberately came to die, and then the Church began to suppress the empire morally.
Because the war that broke out between the Southern Empire and the Church was caused by the death of Cardinal Archbishop at Imperial Capital's observation ceremony, and Cardinal Archbishop's suicide in the empire's Imperial Capital. The Church took this as a reason to stand on the righteous side of the war.
Any war needs a reason, even if it is high-sounding, even if it is not really done, the reason must be just.
We must let others know that we are fighting a just war.
This is morale.
The empire has already tasted such suffering. Of course, the nobles would not dare to break out again the unjust conflict between the Church and the empire at this critical time.
That's what it means to openly kill a future priest the Church.
The status of the other party is no less than that of Baron.
Even Ryan who is far away from Frozen Earth Territory speculates that when the missionary named Sico went to Iron Mountain County alone, that Archbishop had already given the other party the identity of a priest. The Church who was far away from South might have made an urgent registration to recognize this identity.
"Preaching the gospel openly? The Church Marquis of Northwind is too careful to do anything at this sensitive time."
Ryan's eyes were subtle, and then he called the assassin Catfolk who had just come back less than an hour ago.
"You, go kill this missionary."
Ryan looked in the direction of Thundercloud County. This Marquis of Northwind is not really that timid, right?
For the nobles, it would be fine if they did not dare to kill openly.
It is normal to be afraid of being drawn into the vortex of the war between the empire and the Church.
But what is your Marquis of Northwind identity and what are your responsibilities?
You don't even dare to kill the Church's people. God of Light's face has been completely humiliated by you.
