Dekao nodded in agreement with Enjeli's words.

Evolution really comes at a price.

Her own price is that she may be beaten to death at any time. Selena's price is her best friend, and Beniss's price is her daughter...

Even if she is still alive now, if she wants to continue to advance, she may pay a greater price!

"Then... do I have to pay for something too?" asked Nitia.

"Not necessarily." Enjieli suddenly smiled.

"Ha?" Dikao was stunned, "Why?"

"I said that the reasons for each life's upgrade are different, and it doesn't have to pay anything." Enjieli said, "For example, I have lived for too long and have no feelings for everything. So as long as I keep touching things that make me feel novel, I can upgrade."

"Then you are really suitable for staying with me!" Dikao smiled confidently, "I dare not brag about anything else, but at least in this world, no one is more suitable for you to get into more novel things than me!"

"I stayed here because I believed in this." Enjieli smiled.

"That means I also want to find a way to upgrade that is exclusive to me?" asked Nitia.

"That's right!" Enjieli nodded.

Nitia was a little helpless. How could this be found in a short while?

However, the original purpose today was to learn the construction of the magic array. Now that the purpose has been achieved, you can go back.

…………

The large living room is filled with sunlight shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, and the person sitting on the large sofa in the middle has an unconcealed loneliness in his expression.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The maid next to him shouted softly, but Augustine seemed to have not heard it, just staring blankly at the sky outside the window, allowing two crystal tears to gush out of her eyes and slowly slide down her cheeks.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, the maid was a little anxious and could only reach out and gently push his shoulder, "Your Majesty..."

"Ah!" Augustine reacted suddenly, subconsciously raising her hand to wipe away the tears from her face, and sniffed, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Marsville, the new priest of the church, wants to see you." The maid replied softly with her head down.

"Ah, call him in." Augustine wiped her face again, "You go and make two cups of tea."

"yes!"

The palace maid agreed to turn and leave, and soon walked in with a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old.

He had fair skin, short golden curly hair, and a beard. He was about 1.8 meters tall, and was wearing a priest robe with the same white background and gold edge.

"His Majesty Augustine, I'm sorry to come to see you at this time." Masville saluted very gracefully, "mainly from the church, and just confirmed the new priest candidate."

Augustine nodded and said it was not in the way. She just waved her hand to let him sit down, and then asked with a blank expression: "Don't you know what happened to Mr. Maxwell when he came to me?"

"Well, your majesty, you know that the former priest Bernis has been killed for nearly a month, and the Paladins of the church have almost been wiped out," Masville sat straight on his knees with his hands crossed his fingers. "I wonder what you think about this?"

"Me?" Augustine curled her lips and smiled reluctantly, her tone was plain, "What can I think?"

"I heard that Bonis is a good friend who can chat with you very much. Don't you want to avenge her?" asked Masville.

"Ha...what do I think?" Augustine's eyes were dull and seemed to be trapped in memories.

He and Bonis were really good at talking. They were an ordinary friend at the beginning, but after an accident, they had that beautiful night.

Then he wanted to continue, but Bernis just made him forget about this matter, and then he never saw her for a whole year and a half.

Later, the former brave man died, and Augustine went to find Bernice again, and the two met again.

Bernis still spoke to him in a friend's tone, and agreed with his idea of ​​selecting the brave again.

In the next ten years, the two of them were still like their usual, like friends, and they would drink tea and chat together when they were fine.

However, just as the training and selection of brave men were approaching, Bernice suddenly suggested that as long as the church was willing to enter Sunshine City to recruit believers, twin heroes could be cultivated and the two could share the title of brave men.

And Bernis suggested that as long as these two brave men can successfully kill Dikao in the future, his territory can be incorporated into the Dilanta Empire.

In this way, Diranta not only expanded its territory, but also restricted the Gleni and the Blos Empire.

Because in this way, if Casger and Greni and the merchants of the Blos Empire want to communicate, they must pass through their own territory.

In this way, as long as you collect taxes here, you can continuously improve Dylanta's national strength.

It was indeed a very good plan. In addition, Augustine and Bernice have always had a good relationship, not to mention that they always liked her, so they agreed to this plan.

But unexpectedly...it's now like this.

In fact, even if the plan failed, Augustine didn't feel that there was much loss. After all, he never regarded the church as his own.

But when several paladins who escaped said that Bernice had been killed by Dikao, Augustine felt heartbroken.

No one knows his feelings for Bernice, so no one knows this pain!

Augustine cares not about the church, but about Bernice!

"Since you have this idea, I have the same idea. Why not cooperate with us..." Masville leaned forward slightly.

"Mr. Masville, as far as I know, the Paladins of the church were basically wiped out in the last battle, right?" Augustine's expressionless face and his tone was extremely cold. "Does the priest want me to send a large number of troops to help you attack Decao?"

Although Augustine is not a genius who is very intelligent and close to demons, how could he be a fool who can be an emperor for more than 20 years?

Now that the church's Paladin troops have been wiped out, the time to propose revenge is nothing more than to use their own army to fight Dikao. How could Augustine agree?

Not to mention that the border is still fighting against Glenni. Although the casualties and injuries on both sides are not particularly serious, it is obvious that there is no need for people there and we must be prepared for a long-term battle.

Although in this situation, I can't get enough extra troops to come, but if I really want to give it to him, Diranta will basically be emptied.

Augustine would never agree to such a request.

"Although it's time to produce a little, there's not too much." Masville smiled.

"No need to be too much?" Augustine raised her eyebrows, "Ten Thousands?"

"No need to tens of thousands, just one thousand elites!" Masville smiled confidently.

"A thousand elites?" Augustine slapped the table with a "slap", "If Mr. Masville is here to joke, please come back! This joke is terrible!"

"Your Majesty, I'm not kidding!" Masville's smile remained unchanged.

"No kidding?" Augustine's voice suddenly increased several times, and he slapped the table with a "slap", "You..."

"Bang--"

Perhaps because he heard Augustine slamming the table loudly, the door was directly knocked open, and more than ten guards rushed in.

"His Majesty!"

"Go out!" Augustine turned her head and yelled.

"..." The guards were a little stunned, but when they saw Augustine's gloomy expression, they agreed and immediately turned around and went out to close the door.

"Your Majesty..." Masville was about to speak, but was interrupted by Augustine's wave.

"The first time to attack Dikao, two brave men led 30,000 troops, never fought! The second time! Two brave men led 10,000 troops, assassinated Dikao, but one brave man died in battle, and all ten thousand troops were wiped out!"

Speaking of this, Augustine turned her head suddenly, stared at Masville and sneered: "Now, both brave men and a priest have died in battle, but you told me that as long as I give you a thousand people, you can deal with Dikao?!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry for now." Masville opened his hands, "Since I'm here, you might as well listen to my plan. After listening, it's not too late to refuse me! What do you think?"

"call--"

Augustine took a deep breath and waved her hand, "Okay, you said."

"Your Majesty might as well sit down and listen slowly!" Masville stretched out his hand slowly and made a "please sit" gesture.

Seeing his calm and gentle look, Augustine didn't continue to lose her temper. She sighed and sat down, picked up the black tea cup in front of her and took a sip.

"Your Majesty, the church can barely raise more than four hundred paladins now. You can barely raise more than one thousand elites to raise one thousand five hundred people." Masville explained, "But these people are not used to fight Dikao head-on."

"What do you want to do?" Augustine asked angrily.

"Since Dikao snatched the Holy City, he has always valued the city. And the task of these people is to find ways to sneak into the Holy City, imitate the methods of the demons, kill people without discrimination, and cause panic among the people in the city." Masville had an unchanging smile on his face, "Just like the case of Sunshine City some time ago, in this way, conflicts will inevitably break out within the Holy City!"

"Hmph!" Augustine looked disdainful, "He is a demon, feeding on humans and other races. Will he care about the people being killed?"

"Of course I will care!" Masville nodded with a determined look on his face, "I don't know why he seems to be particularly interested in running a city. The current Holy City is coexisting between humans and demons, so he will definitely be angry when this happens."

"What if I don't?" Augustine asked.

"No! He will!" said Maswell. "If he takes a step back, even if the people in the Holy City are treated as reserved food by him, the food is destroyed at will, which is equivalent to provoking his majesty and he will be angry."

"So?" Augustine raised her eyes.
