Chapter 748

readx(); The Holy See has an extraordinary influence in the eastern part of the continent. As a religious organization, in addition to spreading its teachings, the Holy See also plays the same role as the peacekeeping force and the Red Cross in the original world of Yalin in in many aspects, and it has indeed done what it should do. For example, in the recent war between the karsermon Empire and kreises, The Holy See plans a church in the war area between the two countries as a refugee camp, which is responsible for receiving wounded soldiers and refugees.

Moreover, it is said that after his victory, Augusta, Prince of the karsermon Empire, did not sell the people and prisoners in the defeated areas as slaves, but adopted a gentle policy to release them, partly because Augusta wanted to quickly quell the resistance in the occupied areas, and partly because the Holy See secretly hinted at the king to be baptized.

The holy Vatican has not degenerated into doing some evil deeds that can be called gangsters, hooligans and villains in the cloak of "justice", but has indeed done everything it should do. The main reason is that its goddess ishutar has not been corrupted. Both the Pope and the Pope know one thing. The gods really exist on their own heads and are overlooking everything.

The power of religion has always been huge in the hearts of mankind. Some cults in the world of Yalin can make up a God out of thin air, show some false and ridiculous miracles, and even brainwash some people with just one mouth. If the gods really exist and really have incredible power for mankind, Then I'm afraid this effect will be thousands and hundreds of times stronger. Because of this, there is no shortage of fanatical believers in both the Holy See and the holy capital.

In ancient times, many religions in the original world would do anything to win over the upper nobility and dignitaries. Without exception, the Holy See and the holy capital chose to start with ordinary civilians, because the God of the former is fictional, the Pope considers more his own interests, and a hundred poor people are not equal to a rich nobility. Here, God is real. God first considers the power of his faith, because it is related to whether his power is strong or not, and even the possibility of continuing to exist. In terms of more money, God is not as important as the power brought by faith. The amount of faith determines the size of the divine power, which determines the power of the gods and the areas they can control. The larger the area, the more believers, the stronger the gods will be. In a world of power, money and power are derivatives.

Even if a God's believers are so rich, if his believers are too few and lead to his own lack of strength, he will be knocked down by another God and replaced. Then the wealth of the believers of the God and even the believers themselves will become the booty of others.

For these reasons, although the Holy See's idea of divine power over kingship is very heavy, many kings are quite afraid. But among ordinary people, the prestige of the Holy See has unimaginable influence. Even people in some countries may not know the king's surname, but no one does not know the name of the only Lord in the world.

Augusta also understood this. With the assistance of the Holy See, the karsermon Empire did not even have to worry about riots in the occupied areas after conquering and annexing a country. The holy see is enough to appease all the people, and can quickly make them accept and integrate into the karsermon Empire to become a part of the imperial power, rather than a burden that needs to be digested for a long time.

Just this, for Augusta, his plans can be accelerated infinitely, but ishutar wants to give Augusta more than that!

"I know you're trying to restore the technology of the overlord era, but it looks very slow, doesn't it?"

"It should be said that it has completely stopped now."

Augusta sighed. Almost all the war dividends against the kingdom of kreises were turned into ice crystals at the last blow of the half Elf Female mage. Even after the angel of the goddess purified the crystallized Valley, there were very few things to turn out. It can be said that the whole investment was wasted, Although various materials have been backed up, they should be recovered unless another fat sheep like the kingdom of kreises is raided by the karsermon empire. Otherwise, you don't have to think about the whole plan in more than ten years.

More importantly, the only half Elf Female mage in the Empire who can crack the ruins was also lost in the battle.

With a slight smile, ishutar said as if comforting Augusta: "the Holy See can provide you with a sum of money to quickly restore your plan. At the same time, it will send an envoy to continue to help you solve various technologies left over from the overlord era."

"Ha ~ the Holy See also has the technology of the overlord era!? great goddess, please forgive me. Your holy see is really the greatest liar in the world. While making the world dare not explore the technology of the overlord era, it monopolizes these technologies."

For the title of "the greatest liar", ishutar still said calmly: "knowledge has never been divided between good and evil, which is completely up to the user."

"If it means the holy capital, I can understand."

Augusta, who gradually calmed down, was no longer afraid to speak as at first. Augusta tried to treat the goddess in front of him as an equal negotiator, Without offending the other party, try to get more useful information and chips for your own side: "no matter how strong the army of karsermon empire is, it is also the limit of mortals. If you are attacked by those false god envoys behind the holy capital after entering the field of the holy capital, goddess, will you send your envoys to assist me?"

"It's a bounden duty. Mortals to mortals and gods to gods! I won't allow any extraordinary to threaten my believers." Ishutar answered quickly and firmly, But the goddess then said meaningfully: "But Augusta! When your army is conquering the secular country, I allow the Holy See to provide you with the necessary technology, funds, intelligence, etc., but I will not let my messenger directly intervene in the battle between mortals. Unless there are also extraordinary people involved to break the balance, no matter how much setbacks you encounter, you must have the strength of mortals to solve them."

"To prove that we are the best as human beings?"

Ishutar nodded with satisfaction: "that's right! As I said, I want you to overcome the resistance of all foreign nations and holy capitals on behalf of mankind and prove that you are not wrong in my choice. If my power is involved too much, even if I win this war, it doesn't mean my choice is right."

"Although I am always sad that I have become a gambling stake in disputes, I agree with you, goddess ishutar! Winning this war with our human hands rather than relying on 'cheating' is really the real proof for the whole mankind that we should stand at the top of the world."

The goddess's perfect face showed an expression of praise: "I can feel your heart burning like a flame."

"But I am not a racist, goddess ishutar!"

"But you still have the pride of being human, Augusta!"

Ishutar opened his hand like an Oracle: "imagine that the world will lead to a great change. Mankind will become the real master of the world and push the whole world forward at a high speed. In thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, people will remember this day and you! The person who caused this change!"

"I have to admit that you convinced me, goddess ishutar! At least now I can't find any reason to refuse." Augusta finally sighed and showed his first smile in the long negotiation

On the contrary, ishutar nodded calmly: "it's very wise to choose Prince Augusta. I promise I will try my best to realize your dream. That's also my desire."

"But we have talked for so long. What will my karsermon Empire pay for your favor and price? Eternal loyalty to the Holy See, or legislate your doctrine as a national religion?" Augusta is not the kind of person who believes that free pie will fall from the sky. If the goddess is willing to pay so much, she will certainly ask for herself.

"Legislate my doctrine as a state religion?" With a smile, ishutar stretched out his finger and gently waved it, saying negatively: "I don't need you to do this. I firmly believe that my idea is to walk on the right road and will be accepted by the world. Just because it is correct, even if you deliberately hinder your people, they will make a wise choice, embrace and believe in my teachings. On the contrary, no matter what they do, my teachings, including myself, will not be accepted by the world."

With amazing confidence and will, there is no doubt about what she has done. This is the goddess ishutar.

Augusta had to admit that in terms of bearing and mentality, he was really not as good as the goddess in front of him.

"Of course, I also have requirements for you, Augusta! There is only one thing I want you to pay, that is, you perform your duties as an emperor, follow the example of a overlord, devote yourself to your empire, and put the interests of your empire above your own interests."

"I don't understand what you mean. What you said should be what any king would do!" Augusta looked puzzled.

Ishutar sighed: "not any king can put the interests of the country above his own interests. For thousands of years, I have witnessed too many kings who bury their kingdom for their own self-interest. In order to master their rights, they don't hesitate to sell their national interests. Haven't you just seen one recently?"

Kreises Kingdom

Augusta frowned and remembered the kingdom of kreises, which had fought with it recently. In order to ascend the throne, he did not hesitate to betray his sister and bury the fate of the whole kingdom of kreises.

"Answer me, Augusta, what should you do if you find that your child is unable to inherit the throne?"

This time, the goddess ishutar asked Augusta a a sharp question, so sharp that Augusta turned blue. (to be continued.)
