Chapter 540

Sophia's beautiful purple eyes turned green in an instant, like a bottomless cold pool. Her fighting spirit suppressed her inner vibration.

The elegantly decorated small reception room was silent for a moment. It seemed that even the air was frozen by the characteristics of the empty water element. A few seconds later, Sylvia broke the cold silence and said calmly according to the back of Sophia's hand:

"Don't be fooled by this guy's words. The power of the Lord of glory not only refers to divinity, but more like the most core political power of the human country. Since Pope Enoch founded the Church of glory, countless people have sought the power of the Lord of glory, and the most successful representatives are the six Paladin families. In order to seek the power of the Lord of glory, they even overthrow the church emperor, Viktor thought What does it count? "

Victor smiled strangely on his face, shook his head and said, "Sylvia, you're not surprised, I'm surprised."

"What's strange about this? At a certain stage, almost every great Lord will have similar ideas. I'll be surprised if you don't have such ideas." Sylvia giggled, "the difference is that I have this ambition, but I don't have a good way. And you not only think about it, but also start the layout. It's just that I can't understand your layout."

"I... don't understand at all." Sophia smiled bitterly. Seeing that Sylvia drank coffee slowly and had no interest in explanation, she turned to her husband for help.

Victor smiled and said: "For thousands of years, the knight family has been testing a question: does the Lord of glory have self-consciousness? The default conclusion is no... this raises the second question. If the Lord of glory has no self-consciousness, he is a powerful force that can be mastered. Since his majesty Enoch can master this force, why can't we?"

"From the golden age to the bronze age, the most important political struggle in human countries was to seek the power of the glorious Lord. Knights and nobles continued to infiltrate into the church. More than 1500 years ago, the six families of paladins united the aristocratic forces in the church, overturning the Pope and becoming the biggest winner. More than 300 years ago, secular lords in the south United some aristocratic forces in the church, Challenge the shining knights and get a place in the cardinal Council of the Holy See... Today, the struggle has not stopped, and Sylvia has been involved. "

Facing Sophia's inquiring eyes, Sylvia nodded and said: "Neo West's raid on Ryan was led by nahtigar. King al wants me to support Neo West and restore the RAND Empire, so as to expand the secular influence, and then train and absorb the lower clergy through the RAND Empire to help them return to the power center of the church. In the final analysis, it is also to seek the power of the glorious Lord."

"However, the guards of light have long been marginalized by the church, and their potential is limited. If I get involved with them, I will only be further away from the power of the Lord of glory... The York family was still very weak at that time. Even if they could occupy a high position in the new Rand Empire, when I fall, York will be hit from all directions and even destroy the family."

Sylvia chuckled and said faintly, "so I move westward. It seems to run to the western edge of the human kingdom, but politically, the York family is close to the Privy Council and the shining knights."

Sophia was stunned for a long time, and youyou said, "I really don't know that you nobles think about these things all day... I thought the church was very calm now."

Victor laughed: "You like the peace of the church and don't want the turbulence of the church, because the clergy have created a fair environment. If you encounter trouble, you can appeal to the church. But you forget the extraordinary attraction... I met the Templar dimat in Neville kingdom. He himself is a junior knight. After mastering divination, he has the power, power and status of a Golden Knight. Unnatural Jin What position can the newly promoted Knights have in the human horse hills? They have served the family for decades, but they are just a little Lord. If they have the opportunity to master divinity, do you think they are willing to join the arms of the church? However, there are so many clergy, and it is impossible for the shining knights, the Privy Council and the Presbyterian order to fight. The struggle within the church affects the whole mankind Kingdom, we are also involuntarily involved. "

"... when the tide of ants swept over the man horse hills, I almost took my life... I wondered why the shining Knights transferred paladins from all over the world to the Sassanian Empire and turned a blind eye to the man horse hills. Clement used his milk to gather less than 1000 paladins to support the man horse hills. Are they new Soldiers! "

Victor restrained his anger in his eyes and said coldly, "from that moment on, I secretly determined to seek the power of the Lord of glory."

Sylvia raised the teapot, gracefully filled Victor with snow ear tea, lowered her eyes, pursed her mouth and smiled, "honey, I look forward to your way more."

Victor thought for a moment and said: "The political structure designed by Pope Enoch is very ingenious, and almost no loopholes can be found... Knights are in charge of the secular world, and priests are in charge of the theocracy, but in the vertical direction of time - the rise and fall of the knight family alternate; in the horizontal direction of space - geopolitical forces collide with each other, which divides the knight family into pieces, and the church is rooted in the largest mortal group, Absorb the power of faith. This is like the church forming the trunk of a big tree. The knight family is the branch of the tree, and the branch can never resist the trunk. When the branch representing a knight family withers, the church trunk will immediately give birth to a new branch to replace it. Therefore, the human country is full of toughness. "

Sylvia moved her face and tried to ask, "the seven paladins?"

Victor nodded and said, "TESL supports the Sassanian Empire, the first daughter of Rael garel and Neo West become partners, and the territory of the mainland are all examples of the spread of the paladin family. I believe there must be many similar examples in history." After a pause, he exclaimed: "His majesty Enoch is really an outstanding figure. The tree he planted has not fallen down for more than 9000 years. Even if the Pope is elevated, the clergy of the Church always control the supreme power of the human kingdom. The scattered secular lords can not resist a complete church, and the church does not allow the secular lords to be unified into a great empire. Once the secular regime is unified, the spears of both sides will be destroyed The shield will be irreconcilable, and the end result is that everyone is finished together. "

"Sharp confrontation is definitely not a solution to seek the power of the Lord of glory!" Said Victor forcefully.

Sophia thought again and again. During Victor's tea break, she asked, "honey, I think... Isn't that good?"

Victor glared at her and said with a sneer, "well there? The paladin family has begun to develop secular power. How much divine support can we get if they let them develop? We don't strive for the power of the shining Lord, and the whole is marginalized!"

"All right." Sylvia put down the silver spoon and said discontentedly, "if you have a chance in the future, you will close the door and learn one by one... Now I just want to know how you can use the gold mission to seek the power of the shining Lord?"

Sophia gently bit her lower lip, smiled and gave Victor a wink.

"Well..." Victor coughed and continued: "I found that the church has two insurmountable defects. First, the more believers, the more clergy, but the number of clergy cannot rule the corresponding total number of believers. Otherwise, the church will kill the black emperor, fully grasp the voice of secular politics, and will not retreat under the attack of orcs... Their people can't control so many people."

"Second, ruling and being ruled are always opposite. The church relying on the power of faith can not stand on the opposite of believers. Believers move back in case of danger, production stagnates, the defense line collapses, and the knight family withdraws, so it's useless for the church to jump."

"The church needs secular lords. The two sides depend on each other and influence each other. When he feels that the secular lords are not obedient, they support the Frederick royal family. The Sassanian Empire and the shining Knights help each other. The voice of the paladin family in the church has become more and more powerful, and there is a trend to overthrow Clement and tamore."

"As the paladin family continues to expand its secular power, if we don't take other measures and continue to develop like this, the influence of the human horse hills on the church will only become weaker and weaker. The golden regiment can break through the regional limitations, penetrate into the major cities and towns of the human country and connect countless free people. She has unimaginable potential. For example, the grello sheep monster against the Teutonic principality As a serious threat, once the Principality of Teuton falls, our people and horses will also be affected. I don't want to hand over my fate to the shining knights and the moon bear family. I can send strength support to the barbarians and the Principality of Teuton through the golden regiment... The secular power of the golden regiment is so strong, what will happen if she supports Clement? "

Sylvia's eyes lit up and smiled, "I see. You want to support an agent within the church with a gold mission."

"That's right." Victor stood up and said proudly: "The development of the golden regiment is like digging a canal. Each member family is a reservoir node. We control the management right of the golden regiment is like controlling the sluice gate. We put all our forces in our hands to help Clement or tamore master greater power, and they will in turn help us master the golden regiment... Of course, I prefer clement, because he especially needs secular forces And the Walton prairie parish is in his hands. "

Victor turned his eyes to Sophia, sat down again and said: "Sophia, let me tell you what will happen to the golden regiment without my intervention? Various free civil and private business organizations emerge like mushrooms after the rain. Then the Holy See sets up free civil and business associations in major dioceses, which are managed and taxed by the king. Your golden regiment is also under the rule of the king, and she will not belong to you."

"That's why I'm worried. We must dig the canal of the golden regiment before things get out of hand, and don't give other lords and kings a chance."

Sylvia pressed the back of Victor's hand, looked at him affectionately and exclaimed, "very wonderful! Honey, I can almost foresee your success."

"Dear cousin, what do you say?" Sylvia looked sideways at Sophia and asked with deep eyes.

Sophia Yingying got up, pushed away her chair, took a half step back, falsely raised her skirt, bent her knees and saluted, "I'd like to join."

"But I insist on keeping the management right of the golden regiment. I hope your highness will live behind the golden regiment according to the family guardian system."

Sylvia got up, took Sophia's hand, helped her back to her chair and said affectionately, "don't be so serious. You and Victor's children will inherit the golden regiment. You two can discuss the affairs of the golden regiment. I don't intervene or care. If things change, I'll come forward and clean up the mess."

"Victor, you should show your sincerity and withdraw the bear regiment and your mercenaries. In this way, Sophia will be easier to win the trust of Marquis de Wemmick and Princess angel, and quickly occupy the two important trade hubs. As long as Dengshi city and Tongji city join the gold regiment, other free private and commercial organizations will not want to exceed the geographical restrictions."

Victor frowned and said, "a bear regiment without armed forces is like a piece of fat meat to be slaughtered."

"Just for the time being." Sylvia said to Sophia again, "Sophia, I must remind you that the golden regiment is particularly easy to penetrate. If you want to control her, you must introduce another force to form an internal balance... There is no better choice than victor's men."

"I agree. I'll arrange it." Sophia nodded, smiled sweetly at Victor and asked, "my guardian, what should the golden regiment do next?"

Victor said confidently, "you are in charge of the north route, and I am in charge of the east route for the time being. When you get through the business route connecting the Sassanian Empire, I will give you all the business network in my hand. In addition, you will find an appropriate opportunity to meet Countess de Kaiser in the near future."

"Mrs. dolly?" Sophia asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Victor nodded and said, "if you establish a cooperative relationship with her, you will enter Clement's sight. Later... If I guess right, he will take the initiative to come to you and talk to you about building a port on the Bank of Lake Firth."

Sylvia frowned and asked, "are you going to build a port for Neo West?"

"No, it's to build a port for the golden regiment... The golden regiment must win the shipping right of the Jinshui River to the sea!" Victor paused and outlined a cunning smile: "I doubt that Clement has some connection with the Neo West family... Because the port on Lake Firth is related to his central kingdom strategy. With the help of the Pope, Jinshui River commercial shipping is in our pocket."

Sylvia also wanted to ask for details. High heels knocked on the floor in the corridor outside the door.

After a while, the door was opened from the outside. Dressed in a white dress, trisley leaned against the door and asked coldly:

"Have you talked about it yet? If so, please give me back my man."
