  Chapter 12 Besieged on All Sides
  The New Delhi manor where Sirius currently lives is the land and property left behind by the aristocratic Hayden family who had moved away from Anka long ago.

  Although it was indeed a loss to sell the manor for 700 gold coins at that time, the Hayden family really did not want to live in this city without any hope.

  This property was listed in the name of an intermediary and no one was interested. It was only thanks to a "rich man" like Sirius that he could afford it.

  "Counting the days... This should be my sixth day here. I guess I can refresh the new button tomorrow. I'm really not looking forward to it at all, haha~"

  Early that morning, Sirius pushed himself away Looking out the bedroom window, I looked out at the garden where several servants were pruning branches and vines that had not been taken care of for a long time, and several maids were sweeping the debris on the floor with brooms. I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

  It's that kind of feeling... He doesn't seem to be assigned, but he is on vacation.

  In fact, Sirius didn't know it, because on the first day he came over, he used the plundering luck opportunity brought by the button to directly steal the eldest prince's protagonist aura, which had already begun to cause huge changes in the plot of the entire novel world. .

  One of the biggest changes came from his royal brother and sister.

  First of all, it stands to reason that the eldest prince would definitely be suspicious if he created such a grand scene and lived in such a big house.

  But in fact it doesn't.

  Because his luck has become extremely bad, at this moment Engri is fully engaged in solving various natural and man-made disasters that occurred in the imperial city, and he still has to continue to manage his image among the people and the royal family. There is no way at all. He had no intention of caring about an imperial brother who was already dead in his opinion.

  As for Sirius's royal sister Nalia, her changes were even more dramatic.

  In the original plot, Nalia was definitely on the side of the eldest prince, because Sirius's betrayal of him in the main plot made her completely lose her favor with him.

  In this world, because everything went wrong for the eldest prince and Nalia had doubts about his personality by chance, it had unknowingly turned him towards Sirius.

  Of course, in the eyes of Princess Nalia, Sirius was probably dead, and she was rushing to Anka non-stop just to confirm this.

  It's just that Sirius was completely unaware of all these changes. During the few days he was living in the New Delhi Manor, he was worried every day, fearing that the royal family would hear some news and someone would come to kill them.

  If only the eldest prince was okay... After all, he no longer has the luck of the protagonist, so he might still be able to escape from his hands.

  But what if it was his terrifying imperial sister...

  Forget it, if the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, how could he still be afraid of a female character in his book? Just kidding~
  "Sir Siris."

  "Ah...oh, it's you, Liz."

  At this moment, Liz had already put on a maid outfit, and at Sirius's request, the other party also wore black stockings above her knees. socks.

  Ahem...there's nothing he can do about it, this is all he needs.

  He didn't have the guts to look at the imperial sister's long legs in black stockings. He couldn't be afraid of Liz, who had not yet entered a darkened state in front of him, right?

  After all, she is not the necromancer who is almost invincible except for the protagonist in the later stage of the setting. At this moment, Lizzie poses no threat to him except for the somewhat dark personality on the other side.

  "Lord Siris, I'm here to report to you on the current situation in Tiananka City."

  Liz looked at the handsome man in front of her gently, but her heart was full of vigilance and caution.

  But naturally she would not put these thoughts on her face. Now she is just following the request of the housekeeper Jia'an to report the information collected by other servants in the city. "Not much happened in the city. The biggest change seems to be that the Church of Light seems to be holding various activities constantly during this period."

  "Church of Light?"

  "Yes, Sir Sirius." Liz nodded, She thought that Sirius didn't know what the Church of Light was at all, so she explained with a smile, "The Church of Light is not very powerful on the border, but it still has a lot of say in the heart of the empire, because the believers of the church are in Several important cities account for a large proportion, so their ideas can greatly affect the royal family's decision-making.

  Of course, that is only in the imperial city. After all, the Xilin Empire has a very vast territory, and the churches and It's normal for things to look different over there."

  "I know all this, and I just want to ask... what kind of activities are they holding?"

  Could it be that people from the church heard some secrets about him, the deposed prince, and were preparing to tell a story Double-team him?
  If this was really the case, Sirius would really have no chance of escaping even if he had wings.

  If he had known that he would have made Sirius so miserable when he was writing the book, the whole world has to deal with him now, and the only heroine Liz around who has any hope of helping him is still unfinished. Novice status.

  "They held some preaching activities to give back to believers and spread the teachings of the Church of Light, but one thing made Liz feel strange."

  "What's strange?" Sirius pricked up his ears, fearing that he would hear bad news that would make him collapse.

  "They seem to have suddenly become very rich. In the past few days, they have attracted many believers by giving away gold in a simple and crude way. Even some old priests who have quit their jobs and left Anka have returned to the Anka Cathedral. ."

  "...Huh?"

  Sirius was suddenly stunned.

  He was not a fool. After hearing Liz say these words, he immediately thought of what was going on.

  Couple that with the one million gold coins he got after pressing the button, the hostile force that he gave back after using it was not the eldest prince's side, but the local Church of Light in Anka?
  Although he did not directly attack his current biggest enemy, the church's choice was actually not much better.

  He is a member of the royal family, how can he expect that the church will help him in the future? As long as he doesn't betray him, it's fine.

  You can't just go up and say that I gave you the money, right? Can people believe it? Even if you believe it...can you admit it?

  But having said that, this result is already considered the best ending.

  It can only be said that the golden finger he got after traveling through time was really a bit cheating. While it gave him hope of saving himself, it also gave him some side effects that made his subsequent crisis even greater.

  "Liz, apart from the church's actions... are there any other big news?"

  "Other big news... Oh, by the way, I recently heard people in the city saying that a war is coming soon." "

  A war. ?"

  "That's right." Liz blinked and pretended to be confused, "Because I heard them say that if there wasn't a war coming, why would the Imperial City let Her Royal Highness come here with a large group of troops? ?"

  "..."

  That's right, Cao Cao.
