Chapter 486

Ordinary people want to be vassals, vassals want to be lords, and lords want to be kings. What does the king want to do?

Everyone dreams of having the power of the king. If they don't get this power, they will pass their ideas to their superiors and create further conditions for themselves. Ordinary people affect vassals, vassals affect lords, and lords affect kings. If the king cannot manifest his will, but is manipulated by the will of his people, he is equivalent to a puppet.

Like Edward August, a love affair involves a bloody tragedy. It's interesting to be such a king. His father Ryan August didn't get there either. A great Golden Knight and the heirs of the noble girls of the tiller family were trembling for fear of being quietly killed by the four kings.

Augustus held the throne of Gambis, but the vassals of the Kingdom and the clergy of the church told them what they could and could not do. The power of the king and the reputation of integrity and kindness became a prison for Augustus.

In contrast, the early Pope Enoch gave up secular power, declared that knights and clergy coexisted equally, the status of divine knights and Pope was equal, and established a social system of protection, redemption and dedication.

Clergy and knights were indeed equal, but this equality was designated by the early Pope. Enoch himself was above all, including later popes and divine knights.

The real king is not bound by love, is not obsessed with power, is not tired of reputation, and transforms the world according to his will. Power and reputation are only tools to realize his ideal.

Victor opened his eyes, bright as the moon, all the confusion had disappeared, replaced by unshakable faith.

At this moment, he made his way clear.

From the work point system to the rental employment system, and then to the closed land centralization system, Victor has his own political ideal. The following is to make the closed land centralization system completely replace the closed land system and live above the glorious code.

The so-called equal coexistence does not exist. In Victor's vision, the church will be included in the second layer of the centralized pyramid to serve the secular regime, rather than playing the role of supervisor and law enforcer. This coincides with the pursuit of the knight Lord. Because Victor was born in the position of secular Lord.

For a long time, aspiring knights and nobles wanted to trample on the church. They adopted two strategies: one was to spread the blood of the aristocrats through the enfeoffment system, let the aristocrats infiltrate the church and steal the power of divination; Second, unify the human kingdom, bring the ordinary people under the rule, and force the clergy to yield to the imperial power.

Unfortunately, these two strategies are unlikely to work. For the knight Lord, there is no solution to who will be the emperor. Objectively speaking, the church is unified, the Lords are scattered, and the noble clergy form their own department. They don't want a unified empire. The church obstructed it. It was more difficult for the Lord to unify the kingdoms by force and marriage than to ascend to heaven.

Therefore, as long as a powerful empire shows signs of unifying mankind, she will soon collapse. The iron mountain empire collapsed, the RAND empire collapsed, and the war of aggression launched by the Sassanian empire was painless... The knight Lord became the shepherd of the church. And Enoch caused all this.

Only by stepping on Enoch under your feet can you have a sense of achievement!

Victor's feudal centralization did not need to unify the human kingdom, but also made the clergy obedient.

People depend on the church, and the church depends on believers. The system of closed land centralization transformed the refugees into tenants. Under the protection of the Lord, the population of tenants will increase exponentially. The power of the clergy will grow as the number of believers increases, but they cannot get rid of the constraints of the glorious code. If they are unwilling to give up the power of faith brought by the tenant system, they can only carry out the tenant system with the help of the power of secular lords. When tenants became the main source of power for the holy pool, it was too late for the church to turn back. The glorious code does not allow them to do so.

The Lords kidnapped loose tenants, and a large group of tenants kidnapped the clergy of the church.

You have to believe, I give you faith, but the secular power belongs to me. You should cooperate with me, not with you.

There may be such a scene in the future. The tribunal wants to punish a Lord. The Lord sends a large number of tenants to the church to appeal, and the stationed priest pleads up. How can the Holy See be indifferent? If the king mediates, the church will have to give in. Otherwise they will be under pressure from the whole kingdom.

The key to the success of the closed land centralization system lies in two points. First, relying on the perfect monetary and financial system, the materials are concentrated in the hands of the Lord, and all the 11 taxes and kingdom annuities are settled in currency. The second is to enhance the dependence of tenants on secular lords and reduce their dependence on the church.

First, Victor is doing it. The second point only Victor can do.

If the secret method of soul and blood can enhance the strength of ordinary people, let them have the courage and confidence to open up territory, seal the king and worship the prime minister. They will spontaneously move closer to secular lords.

Before that, there was a fatal loophole in the closed land centralization system that needed to be repaired - the social security system of tenants could not be completely controlled by the church. Otherwise, the church will turn the tenant group into its own political power, and in turn, limit the power of secular lords.

The inertia of the system is extremely strong, with the ability of self-improvement and self correction. At present, the land closure centralization system has not been closed, and the church dominates its security system, which is not centralization at all. Victor's political ambitions can also be declared abortive.

"If you want to press down the head of the church, you must set foot in the field of redemption!"

Victor paced back and forth in his study, using x-3 to constantly deduce various situations, and gradually had a detailed plan in his heart.

He thought for a moment, raised his hand, pushed open the window of the study, jumped out, and the blue and black air flow surrounded his body. Holding the white sand painted wall with one hand, he slipped to the ground silently. With his feet a little, he swept away in the direction of Pinghu Town like a sharp arrow.

The strong airflow broke the viscous air and seemed to form a channel with extremely low resistance. Like a ghost without weight, Victor jumped over the wall and flew on the treetops of the hills. He arrived at Pinghu Town 5 kilometers away in only 1 minute and 20 seconds.

He avoided the night patrol in Pinghu Town and quietly came to the chapel where father Miller lived. Two Paladins on duty are guarding the door of the church, and people with guard dogs patrol back and forth in the courtyard of the church. He jumped over the wall, dodged to the bottom of the clock tower, used his hands and feet, easily climbed the clock tower, went down the spiral stairs to Miller's bedroom, and knocked on the door.

After a long time, the old priest got up, held a candle, opened the wooden door, let victor in, looked around again, saw that no one was aware of the movement, and then closed the door.

Victor found a chair to sit down and said proudly, "I don't want to be seen, so no one can see me."

Miller yawned, stuck the candle on the table with candle oil, rubbed his eyes, and said angrily, "you don't sleep in the middle of the night and come to be a thief?"

"It's just being a thief."

Victor smiled, nodded and said, "old man, I've figured it out... The question is, have you figured it out?"

"I just want to sleep now... Don't you know that the old man's sleep is very precious?"

Miller complained, sat on the bed and muttered, "well, what have you figured out?"

Victor shrugged his shoulders, put his legs on the table and said faintly: "I introduced Randall's tenant system to you. You also saw the problem of tenant system. It's still difficult to redeem tenant families with the current system of the church. You expect me to solve the problem, and I can promise you now... Have you ever thought about what it means if I really do this?"

"What means what? You have something to say!" Father Miller stared at Victor with an impatient expression.

If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, and pretend... Victor secretly laughed, coughed, shook his slender index finger and said: "Redemption is the power of the clergy. When I begin to redeem the people for the clergy, the influence of the church on the people will be weakened... Er, let's say, I redeem the people. The people love me. They will not sue me to the church, but defend me everywhere. The church can no longer find an excuse to restrict me."

"Isn't that good?" Miller paused, shook his head in awe and said, "redemption has never been a power, but the duty of the clergy. The clergy seeks power in the name of redemption and deviates from the Lord's way... This is the degeneration that needs redemption and the root of all tragedies!"

"Others don't think so..." Victor pondered for a moment and continued to test: "in fact, if you report the problem of saving tenants, the Holy See will certainly try to solve it."

"How long? Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years?" Miller sneered, shook his head and said, "quarrel with each other and drag each other back. They will try to solve the problem and seek power by the way until something big happens... Unfortunately, the people. Victor, you let go and I support you!"

Victor was startled and quickly waved his hand and said, "if you don't do anything, it's my support. If you jump out, it's all over... Keep a low profile, okay? I'll do it quietly. You pretend you don't know anything, and naturally someone will carry the pot."

"Who?"

"Then don't ask."

The old priest moved his mouth and asked reluctantly, "do you want to reveal something to me? Otherwise, how do I know if you're fooling me?"

Victor raised his eyebrows and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. "I remember two rules. The clergy should not make profits; the people should redeem themselves."

"Yes." Miller nodded and explained: "The clergy cannot engage in any profit-making activities. They receive salaries and subsidies every month according to their grades. Therefore, the monastery should also take the form of relief and donation to sell medicinal materials to the Lord. People's self redemption is to teach believers to love and help each other... However, this religious rule is set later, not within the glorious code, but in line with the spirit advocated by the glorious code."

"That's enough." Victor nodded and said, "my method is closely related to these two rules... I can't disclose the specific details... You'll see."

"Well." The old priest twisted his beard and said, "I'll see... You can go now. I want to sleep."

Victor sneered, "old man, have you forgotten something?"

"What's the matter?" Miller looked at Victor blankly.

Victor was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and said, "my human blood!"

"Oh, look at my memory." Miller patted on the forehead and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that I have cured you."

"Cured?" Victor looked suspiciously at the old priest and asked, "when? Why don't I know?"

"That day... When you go to Rose Manor, I will observe your physical condition and cure your blood wither."

Victor got up, pointed to Miller's nose and yelled, "nonsense! I don't feel at all! You... Me, I know I haven't changed."

"What can change? What do you want to change?" Miller asked back, blowing his beard and staring.

Victor sat down slowly, silent for a moment and said, "I want to expand the blood of human and moon elves at the same time."

Miller shook his head and said: "Someone has locked your human blood with medicine. Every time the moon elf blood is active, it will draw strength from human blood. Finally, your moon elf blood will completely replace human blood. If you want to expand human blood, your moon elf blood will weaken and your talent will disappear one by one. I have removed some drug seals to make your human blood and spirit blood Veins can grow simultaneously. But it's not easy. You have to find the commonness between moon elf blood and human blood. "

"See? If I don't help you heal, you have no choice but to become a moon elf. Now, I give you the right to choose, but you have to find a specific method by yourself."

I, I was drugged... Victor's expression was uncertain. He clenched his teeth and asked, "who gave me the medicine?"

"What do you say?" Miller looked at Victor with pity and said, "I think you should thank them."

"August..." Victor shook his head, smiled bitterly, sighed, and asked expectantly, "you have lifted some drug seals... What about the rest?"

"Hey, hey, it's fertility." The old lady squeezed her eyes and joked, "you can't have children with other women now. Only women who take the same medicine can give birth to your offspring... Of course, I can restore your fertility, but once you have fertility, your blood will be completely set. I advise you to think clearly and make a decision."

Victor's mind came up with the image of Catherine. He shook his head and asked sullenly, "is there no other way?"

Miller replied, "if you explore the potential of your blood to the limit, you will naturally have fertility. Or, let your partner take that medicine." At this point, Miller's expression became serious: "I must remind you that the stronger your blood, the fewer offspring will be. Your moon elf blood and human blood will grow to the top at the same time, and you have only four children at most. If you use that medicine and have children with your partner now, it will inevitably weaken the potential of your blood."

No wonder the female officials of kite Castle didn't let Catherine and I be alone... Victor suddenly realized that he thought of another key, forcibly restrained his inner excitement, and asked, "I... if my human blood and moon elf blood reach the peak at the same time, will Sylvia and I have a future generation?"

Miller shook his head and nodded, "I said it's not easy... There will be!"

So, the sun elf blood is compatible with human blood! My path is right... Victor couldn't help laughing.

"You hurry... I can make up my sleep." Miller blew out the candle, lay down on the bed and said with his back to victor.

Victor jumped to the bed and pushed Miller: "the last question, what is the commonality between moon elf blood and human blood?"

"I don't know... How can I know everything? You have to grope for it yourself." Miller turned his head, stared at Victor and threatened, "disturb me again. Believe it or not, I'll lift the drug seal on you right away?"

Victor immediately turned around and ran away.
