Chapter 354

"The truth of the story is not important." Sylvia took a deep look at Victor and said, "the important thing is that you must learn to listen to and tell stories from your own position, rather than being led by rhetoric."

"Constantine is an excellent lobbyist. By telling stories, he gently tells us that the shining Knights have found an excuse. Anyone who dares to destroy the relationship between the Sassanian Empire and the barbarians will be fiercely counterattacked by the shining knights."

"Honey, I'll teach you how to listen to the story from your own standpoint today." Sylvia smiled and asked, "why did Constantine spend his breath telling the secrets of mages, magicians and the first Pope?"

Victor thought for a moment and said shyly, "I can't think of it."

"From another perspective, what is the use of this secret to us and what is the impact on the church?" Sylvia asked persuasively.

"No impact." Victor shook his head and said, "it seems... It's of no use to us."

"It's no use to us, but it's very useful to Constantine." Sylvia interface: "He threw out a secret with little practical value, which aroused everyone's curiosity and enhanced the weight of his speech. First, the paladin family knew the secret, but the audience did not. When Constantine shared the secret, we were eager to know more secrets, felt close to those who mastered the secret and were willing to share, and unconsciously put ourselves in a lower position. Constantine thus took the initiative in the conversation. Secondly, by revealing the cooperative relationship between the church and the mage, Constantine implied that the early Pope was the chosen one, and he was a knight, and the paladin family was on the knight's side, which paved the way for his next conversation. "

"1500 years ago, the paladin family seized the opportunity to ignore the Pope, seize the control of the church and interfere in secular politics. This has always been criticized by the Lords. Now, the paladins regard themselves as knights, and that usurpation of power has become a struggle between the knight class and ordinary clergy, thus disintegrating our resistance."

"Then Constantine dished out the heroic deeds of fahild, indicating that paladins have always been the protectors of the human kingdom and have the highest law enforcement power, so they occupy the position of righteousness."

"There is no evidence that the barbarian relic is related to the power of the wizard, but Constantine just put the two together. He put forward another hard to verify conjecture that a disaster is about to happen..." Sylvia sneered: "this is a threat and excuse."

"The clergy must make an oath and abide by the glorious code in order to master the medium and high-level divine arts. Once they break the oath, they will lose their divine family. However, anything involving legendary wizards and disasters is the Lord's taboo. The clergy can take tough measures without worrying about breaking the oath. In other words, the glorious Knights have been in the temple army and the referee There is a unified understanding within the Institute. As long as they give an order, the middle and high-level paladins and combat priests dare to punish the Lord. Even if the crime name is empty, the law enforcement clergy will not be swallowed by the oath. If the paladin ordered loses his family, he will still be a knight. The shining Knights have arranged a retreat for him, and can at least become a lord in the Sassanian empire. "

"How dare that secular Lord act rashly?"

When the clergy exercise their law enforcement power over secular knights, they will be tortured by the glorious code. This torture from the soul level can not be fooled by stubbornness. For a long time, the hands of the clergy in the referee's office have been stained with the blood of innocent people. Many paladins and priests can't face their inner guilt and lose their holy power, but some determined crazy believers shelter them The civilians who protect witches wear wooden thorns and allow the victims to howl and bleed to death, but they can still get God's family. They rely on the word "clear conscience".

Victor nodded silently, and Sylvia continued: "Constantine finally said the true purpose of the shining knights. They don't allow others to play barbarian ideas. Hum! We can't get close to barbarians or neglect them, otherwise it will threaten the security of the human country. To put it bluntly, the paladin family is worried that the southern kingdoms try to win the favor of barbarians and destroy their important layout!"

Sylvia shook her head and sighed: "Only Sophia told a valuable truth. She said that elder Harald didn't know about the disaster. The barbarians crossed the river south and looked for holy things, just following the prophecy of their ancestors. That's the truth. The barbarians guarded mount arret for generations and were brave and tenacious. Would they fear the enemy and disaster? If there were strong enemies, they wouldn't be happy."

Victor was stunned for a long time and said with a bitter smile, "I actually forgot each other's position and was confused by Constantine's story." He imitated the language of the paladin: "We know many secrets. We are nobler and older than you. We are also knights. Usurping power is for the interests of knights. We are still priests. We are duty bound to defend the human country. The affairs of barbarians are related to great wizards. If there is a drastic change in ARITE, it will affect the human country. You all have to listen to us. We will deal with whoever doesn't obey... Is that right? ”Then he raised his voice and said angrily, "the paladin family thinks they have unified the kingdoms. Is it the emperor of all?"

"Isn't that it?" Sylvia said faintly, "the eleven taxes paid by the kingdoms support the paladin family. The paladins can recruit paladins among the believers of the kingdoms. Their temple army freely passes through the territory of the kingdoms. They control the inquisition and can punish the Lords of the kingdoms... You say, this is not the emperor of the kingdoms. What is it?"

Victor was stunned and said, "what kind of unification war does the Sassanian Empire fight?"

"Honey, what do you say?" Sylvia fingered her hair and asked with a smile.

How can you be looked down upon by your own women?!

As soon as victor's chest was hot, the x-3 was running at high speed, and the idea became clear.

There were once two empires on earth where the sun never set: the Spanish Empire and the British Empire. The sun will shine on their territory at any time. As the Old Testament Psalm says of the king of mass, "he will rule from sea to sea, from the river to the polar regions."

However, several centuries later, the Empire disintegrated and the colonies became independent one after another. They experienced many wars and bloody conflicts, and the most fierce rebels were the descendants of the colonists. At that time, there were trains, ships and telegrams, which showed that geographical distance and kinship were not the main conditions for maintaining unity.

The so-called unified Human Empire must implement the same economic policies, the same laws and have the same values. If the patriarch cannot maintain the interests of the Lord, it is impossible to achieve a unified empire.

Although the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, the five fingers have their own length. How difficult it is for the Imperial Emperor to have a jar of water flat. The shining Knights have stood at the highest point of power. As long as they maintain the status quo, they can obtain the greatest benefits. It is a thankless thing to unify the human country.

Vic said, "the Sassanian Empire attacked the Three Kingdoms to transfer internal contradictions, and the internal contradictions of the Sassanian Empire were deliberately created by the shining knights."

"You're right." Sylvia praised: "Paladins have the strongest force, bear the heaviest responsibility, but do not enjoy the most rights. They have long been dissatisfied with the Holy See, and it is entirely expected to seize the control of the church. However, the binding force of the glorious code is too strong. The paladins want to get rid of the constraints of the code, but they are unwilling to give up the power of divinity, so they secretly established a secular regime."

"There are three forces in the Sassanian empire. The East and South belong to the Frederick family, the West belongs to the balelius family, and the middle Lord group and the moon bear family in the north are the buffer of the two royal families. The reason why the paladins want this arrangement is to firmly tie down the Frederick family, or control the fallen paladins."

"At the beginning, the Frederick family was just a small exiled family. The Knights of glory helped them to the throne of the emperor. Those paladins who lost their divine family continued to marry the Frederick family. Today, the Sassanian royal family is connected with the paladin family. However, the paladins who master divinity are different from ordinary knights. Even if they come from the same vein, they have great differences with each other The root of the contradiction is that the order of the shining Knights ordered secular children to assist them in their war. "

"I did the work of a paladin, but I didn't get the treatment of a paladin." Said Victor with a smile.

Sylvia said, "therefore, the Knights of glory set up a strong competitor for the Frederick family, the balelius family. The Frederick family can only rely on the assistance of the Knights of glory and follow the orders of the paladins if they want to keep their position."

"In order to transfer the internal contradictions of the Empire, the Knights of glory ordered the Frederick family to launch a war against the kingdom of dodo. Of course, this war is very necessary, because once the three kingdoms are unified, it will pose a great threat to the Sassanian empire. The specific way to transfer the contradictions is to use the war to promote the green wheat trade."

Sylvia pointedly pointed out: "from the standpoint of the church, the green wheat that can not be sold should be free for the common people to eat. The Sassanian royal family exchanged food for wealth, and the imperial lords were happy. Of course, they were willing to help the paladins resist the wild orcs, even the Barcelona family."

After a moment of silence, Sylvia said leisurely: "His majesty Enoch, the first Pope, is really amazing. He may have expected that the paladin family would revolt, and the existence of the glorious code avoided the most fundamental danger. Imagine that if the seven Paladin families unify the human country, they will fall into an internal struggle for power and profit, and their inability to balance the interests of all parties will lead to bloody internal friction in the human empire. That person Now, as long as the paladin doesn't want to lose his powerful magic, he can only cooperate sincerely to open up more living space for mankind, and we are also the beneficiaries. "

Sylvia smiled at Victor and asked, "have you heard of ale?"

"It is said that a long time ago, the Lords of the North would make wine with green wheat. Since the demise of the iron mountain Empire, mankind was short of food, and the church banned making wine with green wheat." Replied victor.

"It will be brewed again soon." Sylvia said: "Water conservancy projects and intensive cultivation will increase grain income, and there will be a great surplus of green wheat in the Sassanian empire. In addition to meeting the needs of population growth, the green wheat trade is basically over. Even if the Sassanian Empire launches a larger war, it is useless. The stagnant green wheat can only be used to make wine. With wheat wine, the Sassanians can follow the example of the Neville Kingdom and ignore it Due to the limitation of water source conditions, small castles and sentries were built in strategic areas, expanding to the wilderness in the East. On the other hand, there are purple cane wine and gin in the south, and the barbarian ARITE mountain has become the main market for wheat wine. The Sassanian people want to exchange wheat wine for the resources of ARITE mountain, especially mineral resources, which is the most important layout of the Sassanian empire. "

"No wonder the Knights of glory did not allow the southern lords to destroy the relationship between the Sassanian Empire and the barbarians, and even intimidated us under the pretext of great wizards and disaster." Victor nodded.

"My dear, the barbarian is just an opportunity. It is you who really change the current situation." Sylvia kissed Victor on the lips and said, "they have their plans, we have our plans."

"The strategic focus of the shining Knights will turn to the northern wilderness. Although they will still maintain pressure on the three southern kingdoms, the intensity of the war will be much less. The kingdom of Dodo must hurry to recover, while the kingdom of Neville must focus on the construction of new agriculture, animal husbandry and water conservancy projects. The Marquis of farul has hinted to Constantine that they will not help the Sassanian empire against the Centaurs Clan, but it will provide iron materials for the Sassanian empire. Gambis can turn his eyes to the south continent. Archduke Williams uses the Pope's speculation of disaster to coerce the major lords to support him in building a port and let the royal family take the dominant power of south development. On the grounds of the pressure of the shining knights, I don't allow Sophia to take in strong barbarian followers. The barbarian crazy soldiers of the golden order treat me If Sophia doesn't listen to her advice, I'll drive her out of the man horse hills after the barbarians cross the river. Anyway, all our strategic goals have been achieved by that time. "

"Honey, it's not negotiable. Don't blame me." Sylvia whispered.

Victor shook his head and said, "how can I blame you? I don't want to have a gold rank crazy warrior around Sophia. If regzo goes crazy, I really can't help her."

"Uncontrollable power is the hidden danger of the territory." Sylvia smiled and said: "Go with Miss Gillian tonight and ask about the chebman family's attitude towards the port. Auguste's involvement in the chebman family is a foregone conclusion, but I still have to have an attitude. In short, we can't let them succeed easily. We'll start tomorrow morning and go to Randall. The barbarian elders will go with Sophia, and the Pope won't go."

"Didn't Clement promise to visit the Randall family? Why didn't he go again?" Victor was in a hurry. He also expected to get some benefits from the Pope. It was best to let turnans help Nelson complete the integration of the two mysteries and vibration mysteries.

"Bishop Perot did not say so." Sylvia shook her head and said strangely, "but as clement is, I think he has gone to Randall to get it."

Victor opened his mouth and thought to himself that the Pope was playing a private visit in micro clothes
