NOVPUBChapter 1483: 666 Reminiscent of Old Times_3 Chapter 1483: 666 Reminiscent of Old Times_3 But in the long run, such a system would inevitably bring about drawbacks.
The alliance between Prince Brooklyn and the Holy Master may seem firm, but it cannot stand the test of time.
Whether the west wind overcomes the east wind or the east wind overcomes the west wind, any outcome would only lead to turbulence, with the common people at bottom bearing the brunt of the hardship.
Such an unstable regime is like wood gnawed by ants, enduring the winds and the rains.
Eventually, it would become hollow and indeed, it might be destroyed by the slightest breeze.
Seated in a teahouse, Peter Aria watched the stream of people on the streets, his mind racing with thoughts.
Peter Aria recalled that although this country was relatively isolated, it possessed abundant mineral resources.
...
Profits from import and export trade could be substantial.
The ease with which the Divine Sect was overthrown was due to the insatiable greed of its leaders.
Not only did they isolate their nation, but they were also highly corrupt, with the King acting as a mere puppet all this while.
Now, the Holy Master had opened a trade route to western nations and had even used the wealth for the welfare and education of the people.
No doubt, the Holy Master had done a lot for the country and its people.
People loved him, their standard of living had heightened and though their faith was singular, one could not deny that it was the best method to deter any revolts.
Peter Aria replayed the thoughts in his mind and grew increasingly fascinated by the rumoured Holy Master.
He wondered, the mysterious force infiltrating Pethkids must have been the Holy Master’s doing.
Why were his sights set on Pethkids?
Pethkids was abundant in products and was the top economic market in the South Region.
Did he plan to establish a chain of interests in Pethkids?
However, Peter Aria believed that his significant efforts were definitely not solely for wealth but were indeed for power.
Admittedly, such ambition was grand.
Yet, the Holy Master was too overconfident.
Although his influence was covert, the two powers that had been entrenched in Pethkids for years, Digby Hart and Agave Rinto, were not entities that he could affect overnight.
He was indeed getting ahead of himself.
So, what were his intentions of targeting him?
Did he have his sights set on Lostswa’s market?
Did he plan to glean information from him or use his identity to infiltrate Lostswa?
Peter Aria shook his head.
If so, why would he also target him and Aubree Groove?
This individual must have some inexplicable connection with him and Aubree Groove.
However, no matter how hard Peter Aria tried, he could not figure it out.
When he eliminated all possible candidates, only one person remained.
This person was the most unlikely yet the only one who fit all the criteria.
Only hatred could make one act rashly, throwing all reason to the wind.
Only she! she who bore a grudge against The Rintos and Virginia Frost, who eagerly sought their eradication.
Only she, who would not allow anyone to harm him.
Peter Aria thought he had glimpsed the truth and was momentarily a mix of elated and helpless.
After sitting in the teahouse for a while, he got up and walked out onto the streets, strolling leisurely among the crowds.
While he appreciated the local customs, he pondered upon the path ahead.
Finding Aubree Groove was the most important task at the moment.
Born with a gift for languages, he had managed to grasp some basic Percival Language in just two days.
He had no issues with daily communications.
However, he found that the common people of Percival had been talking about someone known as the Saintess these past two days.
On the day he had arrived at Inracetales, the Crown Prince’s coronation ceremony was being held in the city.
Peter Aria had not witnessed it, but later, he heard that the Prince had personally announced at the ceremony that the Saintess would arrive on the day of the first spring thunder.
The entire nation was abuzz with excitement.
Wasn’t the day of the first spring thunder the Insects Wake?
That would be Number Five next month.
At first, Peter Aria felt the emergence of this Saintess rather abrupt.
According to what the city’s residents said, the Saintess reincarnated from a princess in Katopierre who had been enlightened by the Buddha and had experienced over 80,000 tribulations in the Earthly World.
Was this not identical to the prophecy of the Buddhist woman in his homeland?
Buddhism originated here, but flourished extensively in Jimenez.
That was not surprising, but what was strange was the simultaneous emergence of the Buddhist woman prophecy in his homeland, only here they had different names, with the Saintess in place of the Buddhist woman, but their essence was the same.
Could the mysterious force that had been stirring the waters behind Scarlett be from this mysterious Sahaism?
Is it possible that they sought to create waves via Charlotte Aria?
So, what about this Saintess?
A rumour had quickly spread in the city.
The Prince, having completed the ceremony, had rightfully become the Crown Prince, and the matter of his wedding was set to be discussed.
