King MacReynolds's words made Ryan a little confused, but from the literal meaning, this matter seemed a bit scary.
"Humans cannot become Deities. Demons Mages never believe this. The ultimate goal for any demon Mages to pursue magic is to master the magic that kills Deities."
"If you want to kill them, you have to understand why they are great."
King MacReynolds's voice sounded far and near, and his soul seemed far away from this palace.
"So, did you succeed?"
Ryan felt that the Legendary Mage in front of him might be so powerful that it was a bit scary.
"Not yet. If it succeeds, I will become Demigod."
"The life that touches Divine Will is Demigod."
King MacReynolds said this. After the last word came out, the weightless feeling Ryan felt disappeared.
"But I still want to thank you for the opportunity you gave me. Divine Bone Potion is rare. You are really lucky to meet a dying Deities."
At the beginning, the killing of gods in Gam and Fenrir World is still just a secret. No one knows what happened on the other side of Planar Gate opened by Frozen Earth Territory that day.
With a common secret, the relationship between King MacReynolds and Ryan takes another step forward.
"I came here to ask Your Majesty. Between the Church and the Empire, you have to choose one."
Ryan said this, he called the other party King, and he was no longer facing the identity of Legendary Mage.
But Noble and King.
King MacReynolds did not answer this question directly. He seemed not to choose anything.
"The Church wants to return time to one hundred and thirty years ago. The Church at that time, Pope's order cannot be questioned even by the emperor Imperial Capital. The order on Holy Mountain can make King abdicate and replace it with any noble to become the new royal family."
"But this is impossible. Time cannot be turned back, and the Church cannot question the inheritance within the royal family."
Serra's King said this. Obviously, he rejected the Church's absolute power.
However, he cannot change the power of the Church.
"The whole world is bathed in the light of Lord of Dawn. Whether it is Dawn or light, they all represent the same great existence."
"The Emperor of the Empire is no exception."
"Sera Kingdom will definitely die in front of the empire if he takes refuge in it, and the empire will be no exception."
The King in front of him said this. He seemed to have seen the day that would come sooner or later. The whole world would fall into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The empire and the Church would stand on top of fifty corpses, and eventually a building would collapse.
The world may not be the same as before, but there will definitely not be any cannon fodder left.
King MacReynolds not only has the power of Legendary Mage, but also has extremely intelligent political methods. Just like his meditation retreat, it seems that Sera Kingdom is leaderless, but in fact there is not much chaos.
Ryan After listening, he also understood the other party's headache.
"It seems that you don't want to choose anything, but you have no choice."
"You can't get through by being fooled. The empire's His Majesty the Emperor has already sent an army into the Andara Kingdom. When the threat from Orcs disappears, that army will not return to the empire, but will appear at the border with the Sera Kingdom."
"The empire wants more people to understand that the emperor's authority can override Pope. This was not the case for thousands of years, but it will be so in the future."
In the past, no matter how powerful the Church suppressed the aristocratic rulers, the force of the rebound was terrifying. In the past, there was no way, but with the formation of the Extraordinary Legion, the nobles already had the confidence to resist.
Ryan does not doubt what King said, that is, one day in the future, an extremely tragic and desperate war will definitely break out.
Royal Authority's challenge to divine power? No, that is the confrontation between all the people who have been suppressed by the Church for thousands of years. It is a war between the old and the new.
If the Church wins, the Church will not be the current the Church. If the empire wins, the empire will not be the current empire.
"If Your Majesty hasn't figured out what to do, I have an immature suggestion."
"Since the Church has become a part of the Sera Kingdom, and Your Majesty cannot divide it, then it is better to eliminate part of the Church's power."
"The existence of the Church represents the irreconcilable conflict between the Sera Kingdom and the empire. The emperor's ambition would only be willing to see a Sera Kingdom without the Church."
"Remove some of the Church's power and add some of the empire's power."
King MacReynolds's eyes were thinking, a little confused.
"In this case, is Sera Kingdom still my kingdom?"
"No, this just proves that Sera Kingdom will truly become your kingdom. Neither the Church nor the power of the empire can completely control the authority of King."
"What do you think should be done?"
King is obviously interested and wants to hear what Ryan thinks.
"It's quite simple. The Church used to collect monetary offerings directly from the nobles. Your Majesty can help them and allow them to collect taxes from the entire kingdom's population."
"Give them power."
"But the price is that the Church loses the power to recruit troops on the kingdom's land. They can have an army, but it can only be an army composed of pure believers."
"Everyone has to live, so when the time comes, the Church won't have too many troops."
"Strictly speaking, this is not restricting the Church, but restricting those nobles so that they are not qualified to directly provide troops to the Church."
If the three major subjects of politics, military, and economy are fully controlled, it will be a complete country. On a piece of land, King and the Church have the power of these three subjects at the same time, which means that there are two countries on this land.
If two countries with complete power are on the same land, and there is no conflict, they are considered too powerful before the Church.
Giving the Church certain political and economic power but depriving them of military power is equivalent to breaking up the second country on the land and integrating it into the first country.
"This kind of thing has never happened before."
The meaning of King is very simple. This kind of thing has never happened before. People will hesitate and refuse because of unfamiliarity. The Church will never agree to this sudden change.
"The Church It doesn't matter whether you agree or not."
Ryan took a deep breath and finally said:
"This matter requires the recognition and unity of the nobles. In the end, the Church will naturally have to agree."
"Of course, the Church may react halfway and conflicts of war may break out, but in the Sera Kingdom, this matter can be avoided."
"The Church's Archbishop, Archbishop Adriana, as long as the commander the Church does not deny your order, then the Church cannot prevent this from being established on the land of the Sera Kingdom."
"I think...Archbishop Adriana wouldn't have such thoughts."
Ryan made a bold guess. If Andara Kingdom had proposed this way before, needless to say, Pastor Soto would have brought one hundred thousand the Church followers to crush all related remarks the next day.
But now Sera Kingdom, Archbishop Adriana has the ability to do it, but will she do it?
There is a high probability that it will not, because until now, Ryan, which killed a large number of the Church clergy, has not received strong condemnation from the Church.
This was what he had been waiting for all night.
Archbishop Adriana must have known about this, but she did not respond.
A very bizarre result, but it does not prevent Ryan from using this result to convince King MacReynolds in front of him.
"Waiting is fruitless. Only by taking the initiative can we continue to be strong."
"The empire has changed the world. If Sera Kingdom doesn't keep up, I'm afraid it will become the dust of history."
Ryan heartily persuaded, and then gave a second proposal.
Naturally, when changing the power structure of the Church, the power of the empire was introduced as a balance and compromise.
"I can build Northern Kingdom's Braveheart Guild in the Sera Kingdom, in the name of fighting against Northlands, so that adventurers in the Sera Kingdom can be eligible to enter the empire to participate in certain competitions, so that Sera Kingdom can have some contact with the empire."
King MacReynolds looked at Ryan.
"Is this your purpose? Do you want to gain more power?"
"I'm the most suitable choice, right?"
"I participated in the Sera Kingdom's founding war, and the Church recognizes the founding of the Sera Kingdom, so it is inevitable that they must recognize my merits and status in the Sera Kingdom."
"But if Sera Kingdom welcomes other nobles from the empire, the Church will naturally doubt your motives and whether you are suspected of betraying Dawn."
"I am the most suitable and the only answer."
"And what I'm saying is not entirely because of myself. Maybe you don't know that Northern Kingdom's Braveheart Guild not only belongs to me, but there is another person who is also the owner of the Northern Kingdom's Braveheart Guild."
"One of the Electors of the Empire, Volvo·Columbus His Highness Elector, Northern Kingdom's Braveheart Guild entering Sera Kingdom means that the Electors of the Empire have non-political power over this place."
"But no matter what kind of power it is, Elector has become part of this land."
"If he becomes the emperor in the future, Sera Kingdom will provide him with benefits. If he fails, he will also become a certain Marquis. At least for a hundred years, the relationship between the kingdom and the empire will not be stiff."
"As for the world a hundred years from now, none of us can predict it, right?"
Ryan pulled Volvo and asked the other party to use 10,000 Gold Coin as an investment. Finally, he took advantage of the other party's identity.
This value cannot be measured by ten thousand Gold Coin.
"It is impossible for Elector to personally touch the power of the Sera Kingdom. Not only will Church of Dawn have a huge reaction, but the empire will also wonder whether he has a relationship with Church of Dawn through the Sera Kingdom. In that case, he will definitely be the first Elector to be eliminated."
"I have once again become the most suitable and correct candidate."
In the founding war, in other words, Ryan was Sera Kingdom's minister of the dragon, and he was the one who made the greatest contribution. His power in this land is beyond reproach. This is a beautiful virtue of the nobles. Otherwise, other nobles will not get support for their ideas in the future, because the nobles will think that the noble will not guarantee the interests of his supporters afterwards.
They praise any nobleman who is worthy of praise.
He represents the power of the empire.
Even if Emperor Imperial Capital doesn't recognize it, all the conditions have been met.
At this moment, Ryan finally understood why Monarch, who was clearly the most powerful person in the world, was still hampered by many things. It was not that their power was not absolute, but that the world was never simple black and white.
Just like here, doesn't Ryan represent the power of the empire? But he is a noble of the empire, and the power he exercises on the land of the kingdom has the shadow of more nobles in the empire.
This in itself is a manifestation of power.
Will the Church be willing? The Church would not be willing, but Ryan has a historical significance for the founding of the Sera Kingdom. The Church more than a hundred years ago could make this meaning disappear, but now it is more than a hundred years later, and time will not go back. The Church can only hold its nose and admit the rules of the nobles.
"But, how to change the Church's power over Sera Kingdom?"
King MacReynolds was persuaded, and one of the two things has been completed. Since Ryan has come up with the idea, there is no obstacle to the imperial power.
The most difficult thing now is the Church.
Even if Archbishop Adriana does nothing, it is impossible to shake the Church's ancient habits.
This is not because of stubbornness, but because any change will bring carnage and death.
"I have already said that the solution to the problem does not lie with the Church itself, but with the nobles."
"The nobles agree. If the Church cannot unite, there is no other choice. If the nobles do not agree - then change a group of nobles who will agree."
"If change brings death, then... why not?"
Ryan looked at King, with eyes as cold as Northlands and Dead Silence.
"Norris South There is no shortage of nobles in one-third of the land, right?"
After leaving King's palace, Ryan walked out and saw Otto, Roland and Kaeld again.
Ryan nodded to Roland, then looked at Otto.
"Your Highness Otto, it seems that you are not very satisfied with the Church. Do you want to build a second Florian Empire?"
"I wonder if that hammer can help you accomplish this goal."
After Ryan finished speaking, Otto scratched his head, not understanding what he meant.
Watching Ryan leave, Otto wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Roland. He looked back and saw that their father had already left the palace.
"It seems that Valencia will get a piece of land."
"Reproduction and inheritance are the most important things for nobles. I hope Valencia will not disappear from the pages of history again."
Ryan said this, while Kaeld behind him was already trembling with excitement.
"Lord Ryan, are you telling the truth?"
He couldn't believe that the goal that Valencia had dreamed of for decades was accomplished so easily, and he couldn't help but want to burst into tears.
"The real challenge that a noble faces is never before becoming a noble, but after becoming a noble."
"As Wandering Nobles, I think you know the meaning of this sentence better. Only when you lose it can you know how to cherish it. Only when you cherish it can you know what to do."
"Otherwise, one day Valencia Family will become Wandering Nobles again, or by then, you won't even be able to guarantee the inheritance."
"Of course, I understand."
Kaeld's head is like a chicken pecking at the rice. He clearly remembers the family records. If he hadn't hugged his thighs tightly and without the help of other nobles, Valencia would not have fallen to where he is now.
It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.
After leaving Royal Palace, the royal city of Serra is still under construction, but a large open space has been circled. A large number of slaves have arrived to carry building materials, and Northern Kingdom's Braveheart Guild will be built here.
"Looks like he's really tall."
Ryan raised his head and looked at the wooden structure that had been built. The building here would be semicircular and belonged to him.
"I assume you won't cut corners, right?"
Ryan turned around, his head behind a pair of glowing eyes shaking his head wildly.
"Lord Ryan, materials can be missing anywhere, but your place will never do that. Don't worry, this will definitely become the most dazzling building in the royal city."
The Wandering Nobless came to the Royal City and became construction contractors. But now that Ryan has given them the opportunity to change their identities, how could these Wandering Nobless not seize it.
"Since that's the case, I'm relieved."
Ryan Face these Wandering Nobles with a smile and be kind, which is the key factor in gaining support.
Only he knew that behind this kindness, there was a huge amount of blood and death hidden.
And it came quickly.
After leaving the royal city, Ryan learned of King's order before he even arrived at his manor.
"Valencia Family was personally crowned by King and the Church Archbishop who were not present, becoming the Baron family of the kingdom."
"The fiefdom is on the edge of Mendes Barony. Since the land is not large, the first and second generations of Valencia are pioneering nobles."
In short, the Baron collar given is not enough to become a Baron collar. If you want it, then go ahead and develop it yourself.
Valencia Family suddenly received a large influx of people. After all, it was easier to become a vassal of a noble than to become a noble.
Counting old and new grudges together, the first precise goal of Valencia's rise is the hatred against the Baron Mendes Family.
"The honor of the nobility cannot be desecrated!"
Now Valencia can not only say Valencia, but also wear the crown of nobility, telling the world righteously that the dignity of nobility needs to be maintained with sword and blood.
Deane Family This has been the case for a long time.
On the road, the gorgeous carriage passed by Unicorn Fortress. Wherever Ryan passed, flames seemed to ignite the firewood on the land, and disputes and thick smoke arose one after another.
Along the way, Ryan's badge and flag did not encounter any obstacles. On the first night after arriving at the manor, he slept peacefully and comfortably for more than ten hours.
When a new day comes, I feel that the winter sunshine has not left yet and is still warm.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell His Majesty the King, am I still the commander-in-chief of the Sera Kingdom's army?"
"In this case, when the Church's military power in the kingdom is deprived, will I... also inherit this part?"
