The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Chapter 1007 – Mage Alliance (4k) >>

To say the least, High Priestess Bellamy Artemis’ words were shocking.

Everyone’s gazes converged on her after she finished speaking.

However, once the words were spoken, there was no turning back.

Regardless of how others perceived it, this was Bellamy’s genuine thought at that moment.

The expression of King Austin Clarissa turned abnormally ugly in an instant after she spoke.

He wasn’t lacking in cunning.

But his identity required him to be unable to continue to endure at certain moments. At this time, he couldn’t possibly speak gently to Bellamy and say, “Why don’t you reconsider?”

He sternly said with a fierce expression, “I wonder if this is the will of High Priestess Bellamy or the Elemental Race.”

By separating the individual from the group, he aimed to increase the rift between the individual and the group, and contributed conditions for the appearance of another individual within the same group.

Austin Clarissa believed that Queen Elf Vira Artemis would not be as disrespectful as this high priestess.

However, the structure and unity among the moon elves exceeded his expectations. Bellamy High Priestess sneered silently, and Queen Elf Vira Artemis stood completely on her side: “High Priestess’ words are our race’s words. There is no difference.”

King Austin Clarissa’s expression became even more unpleasant.

He stared at Queen Elf, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

The Church of the Saints, the North Territory, and the Valkyrie faction, which should have been on the same “human front line” as him, did not speak up either.

Among them, the one who should have spoken up was actually the Church of the Saints!

The North Territory and Valkyrie factions were merely factions, but the Church of the Saints was a divine authority that could stand independently from royal power, the only existence equal to the royal family.

In any previous moment when humans opposed outsiders, divine authority would stand firmly on the same front line as royal power.

This time, they should have abandoned personal biases and stood on the same front line with him.

However, Pope Patricius never looked away, and Bishop Sabrina Melville and others naturally would not express their stance at this moment.

King Austin Clarissa immediately felt a strong sense of isolation and helplessness.

At this moment, it was Saint Maryann Academy that extended a helping hand to him.

Principal Cynthia Saint Altair smiled and said, “It can’t be said like that. His Majesty’s help in fulfilling the content of the contract with Hermes is still very significant. It won’t be a problem to bring him along for this cooperation.”

Reversal of main and secondary roles!

Upon hearing Principal Altair’s words, Dark immediately understood this. Principal Altair and High Priestess Bellamy definitely did not rehearse beforehand. But the two of them clearly had a flawless cooperation. Even if High Priestess Bellamy Artemis despised the king and humanity, she would not speak against humanity in this situation.

She did this to force King into a relatively disadvantageous position.

After King was forced into an unfavorable position, Principal Altair took the opportunity to act, making him fall from his initially presumed “main role” to a “secondary role.”

High Priestess Bellamy Artemis wanted King to clearly understand that he was just a supporting character tagging along, not and never the protagonist!

Only after establishing this status could the current meeting truly begin.

King’s active and proactive attitude was also to establish his “main role,” but he did not expect to be brought down mercilessly by High Priestess Bellamy.

At this point, if he wanted to continue standing in this meeting, he could only accept Principal Altair’s helping hand.

But once he accepted this hand, he completely lost his “main role.”

Just a few short exchanges were full of subtleties. Every leader present was no pushover. Moreover, King Austin Clarissa’s initial position was already very disadvantageous.

It was absolutely impossible for him to carry everything alone under these circumstances! But if he had to blame anyone, it could only be because they had not paid enough attention to this operation before… Not even arranging a young person around twenty years old to accompany them.

Therefore, even with a gloomy expression, he could only accept Principal Altair’s help: “Principal Altair is right. Although I did not participate in the contract with Hermes, I can help you fulfill the contract better. At this critical moment, we should unite regardless of race. In promoting the ritual of the divine path, I am willing to provide the greatest assistance!”

“Very good, I feel sincerity. It seems we are not without the possibility of cooperation.” High Priestess Bellamy Artemis directly changed her tone.

King Austin Clarissa solemnly said, “We can further discuss the purpose and needs of the cooperation. As long as it is reasonable, I can cooperate.”

Principal Altair nodded in agreement: “With the awakening of the gods, we all become ants. Continuing internal strife at this time would only waste resources. I sincerely hope that we can all set aside our prejudices and do our best to complete the ritual of the divine path.”

With this as the opening, the temporary meeting finally began in earnest.

King Austin Clarissa’s presence was actually very necessary.

Considering the importance of human royal power, even if he was not included in this temporary meeting, he would be invited to the next formal meeting.

But in any case, the hierarchy must be established!

Even if Austin was the king of the Unic Kingdom, there would be no difference.

Since he was a latecomer, he could only be “secondary.”

Those who truly established a cooperative contract with Hermes were the “main” ones.

In other words, even the Pope and the Queen Elf could only be “secondary.”

And those who established a cooperative contract with Hermes were first Principal Altair, then Dark, Professor Shylph, High Priestess Bellamy, Bishop Sabrina, and then Olivia and others.

Among the twelve people who made great contributions to the ritual, only Dark Demon Daimon received Hermes’ recognition and became a collaborator.

The rest, including Olivia, were merely supporting characters.

Only after distinguishing the main and secondary roles could everything continue.

First, they established a cooperative code name—Mage Alliance! …

“Good morning, caw caw caw!”
