Pirate Kingship
Chapter 292: Seeing the big picture from the small details, aunt and nephew join forces
Fox, the Governor of Havana, looked at the mob in front of him that was swirling and dying like the wind, and he smiled very happily in his heart:
"Hahaha, Castile is the strongest defender of the church's authority and has the largest number of traditional believers.
Who hasn’t come from being weak to the present step by step? Do you think that the position of overlord of Castile was obtained for nothing?
In the decades since the great voyage began, it is precisely because of the mutual achievements between us and the conservatives that Castile is what it is today.
The archbishop and the traditional saints naturally want to safeguard the interests of Castile. Only if we are stronger can we help them suppress the new sects that are ready to move. "
He exchanged cryptic glances with the red archbishop, and the depression that Byron had just suppressed was instantly swept away.
"We eat meat, and just throwing two leftover bones is enough to make these hyenas fight for it, and even dig each other's anuses from behind and eat each other's internal organs.
So what if two of the strongest countries were granted immunity?
Anyway, once the alliance collapses, it's just a good time to slow down those small players, and then concentrate on turning back to deal with you.
If we just set up roadblocks on the main routes and charge 10% tax for a small amount of copper, we will kill you alive!
Anyone who dares to resist is a heretic, hahaha.”
The reason why countries want to protect religious rights is that they are afraid of protecting religious rights.
The final analysis is that powerful countries can wave the cross of "faith" and arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries' colonies in the name of the church.
Relying on the power of personnel appointment, law enforcement, and tax collection within the scope of religious affairs, it is easy to realize dreams that cannot be realized with muskets and steel swords.
Just like in the Eastern world, standing on the moral high ground and wielding a big stick, you can hit whomever you want. That is called being invincible.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the New World is just around the corner.
For the foreseeable and terrifying benefits, the Castilians have tried their best.
Obviously, the reason why they can become ocean overlords is not only their first-mover advantage and numerous pioneering holy relics, but also their outstanding wisdom.
"There's something fishy about these two guys!"
Byron didn't need any mind-reading skills. He only needed to look at the microexpressions of the Cardinal Archbishop and the Governor of Havana to know that the two families had probably reached some secret agreement.
Perhaps when the top leaders of various countries were fighting for their interests, they might have deliberately shown weakness to their enemies and "reluctantly" given up two immunity rights. In fact, everything was within their plan.
“It seems like my expectations have to be adjusted accordingly.
Once there is artificial evaluation of the conditions for completing the task, there will be too much room for maneuver, and the difficulty of getting the first place will skyrocket.
And neither I nor the Hetings Kingdom’s original intention was just to let the stick of ‘protecting religious rights’ fall on their heads.
After all, even if we get the right to protect the church, if we don’t have enough power to have long-arm jurisdiction, cross-border law enforcement, and supervise the world, it will just be a clown-like joke.
It is the same for all countries. The immunity of the second and third contributors is more attractive to others than the right of patronage. "
Byron glanced at the governors in the seats opposite who suddenly became wary of each other. Apparently they all thought the same.
Just a simple change of the rules turned potential allies into opponents.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart:
“The church still has the right to set the rules of the game. If we play according to their rules, how can we outplay them?
You must know that there are seven levels in the [Silver Law].
Whether it is the iron law of royal power or the king's title in various countries, they are only at the fifth level at best.
Except for the seventh-level Creator who is at the top of the law.
The pope, who wears the triple papal crown and controls the triple powers of hell, earth, heaven, and legislation, justice, and administration, controls the underlying authority of the Silver Law as God's agent.
This is also the key to the church being able to firmly suppress the royal power in the dark age of a thousand years, allowing it to preside over the coronation of the emperor of the Holy Silver Empire.
The royal powers of various countries that relied on the Silver Law and the true "divine right of kings" were all choked by them.
The old continent has its own national conditions. I can't change it for the time being. I can only live with the light.
However, there is a saying in the previous life that is very reasonable, "If you want to get it, you must seek the top; if you want to get the top, you must seek the top." ’
You must be prepared to compete for first place, otherwise you may not be able to get second or third place.
We must find a way to directly kill the most critical [May Wind]!
As long as the kill achievement is achieved, no matter what the judging criteria are, no one can erase the achievement. "
Especially when he has the help of Violet, who has already engraved the curse mark [blasphemy] with the blood of the octopus battleship.
This quasi-witch can sense the precise location of the opponent within a certain range.
Under the influence of the old god [Sleeping God Kraken] and unable to lock the opponent with prophecy, this is a huge advantage that no one can match.
It is the simplest, most direct and efficient to seize the opportunity and go straight to Huanglong.
The red archbishop naturally saw the expressions of the governors of various countries, and his face was full of compassion:
“Such an arrangement has absolutely no selfish motives. It is all about uniting everyone’s efforts to eliminate disasters as soon as possible and allowing more countries to benefit from the Lord’s grace.
Then I want to say the second point.
Everyone who came back from the 'World Serpent Celestial Circulation Belt' must already know this.
The real disaster hidden by the Mad Blood Disaster has begun. Many areas have been invaded and polluted by large-scale marine life, causing the local natives to fall asleep.
This coincides with the prophecy made by Mother Teresa: "The Mad Blood Disaster, parasitic corals; the Snail Annihilation Era, waiting for you to enter the dream. " Coincidentally.
I want to tell you that according to our Inquisition, the same situation has occurred in the Virgin Strait, the first place attacked in the Bantaan Islands.
And with the proliferation of barnacles, fog and sleep have begun to spread.
The church suspects that the root cause of this incident is most likely hidden in the dream.
This is the Lord's test for us. Finding out the mastermind behind the dream is as important as killing the May Wind to solve the Mad Blood Disaster. "
Glancing around, he hinted to everyone that this was an extremely important "plus point".
Many small countries with weak frontal combat power but with tomb sequence [mediums], [corpse collectors], [coffin carriers], and court sequence [executioners] who could enter the dream of the third-level extraordinary people, immediately began to rub their hands.
I felt that I was not completely without a chance.
One of the two routes can always work.
Only Byron and Violet, who had long known that the old god's mansion was hidden in the dream and avoided it as much as possible, looked at each other and began to mourn for them in advance.
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, the cardinal pointed to the monks of the order and the secular monks sitting on both sides of him.
The tone became meaningful:
"Third point, all the lambs bathed in the grace of our Lord, whether you get the right to protect the church or the right of exemption in the end.
The church and I hope that you will choose partners among them to start the missionary work of the sword and the cross in the colony.
If the church finds other illegal missionaries, we will have the right to take back the rights you enjoy, and even regard the offenders as enemies of the church. "
Everyone knew who the illegal missionaries he was talking about were.
The secular priests and the religious priests, one is an extremely important ally, and the other is the core of the church. They are both forces they need to rely on, and they cannot favor one over the other.
As for those heretics in the church who already have Protestant thoughts and advocate that individuals can directly contact the Creator without going through the church, they are completely unacceptable.
When saying this, the archbishop also took a deep look at Byron, the governor of Hattings.
The latter lowered his eyes to prevent his anger from overflowing from his pupils.
The fuse for the liquidation of the Lancaster family, in addition to itself It is a foreigner of the Bay in the prophecy of revival, and more importantly, it openly supports Protestantism.
As an island country of the Silver Continent, the relationship between the Kingdom of Hastings and the Apostolic Temple has always been tense.
As early as 1351 of the Silver Era, the "Holy Office Commission Law" was formulated, stipulating that the election of bishops and other clergy in the country shall not be interfered with by the Pope.
Later, legislation was enacted to prohibit "unauthorized exercise of religious judicial power" and prohibit citizens from appealing outside the country. Violators will be deprived of their citizenship.
Compared with the current right to protect religion, it is clearly tit-for-tat.
They have been competing with each other for hundreds of years.
Even now The York family, supported by the church, came to power, and they still had a huge popular support in the kingdom for their contempt for the church's authority.
It can be imagined that under the urging of the church, the York family is very likely to start a liquidation of Protestants in the country, and it is unknown how many people will be broken up and leave their homes.
Then
came to the colony managed by Lord Byron to make a living.
At this moment, the cardinal was clearly warning him not to play with fire.
The Kalmar Union, which was composed of three Gulf countries: the Kingdom of Aalborg, the Kingdom of Gothenburg, and the Kingdom of Oslo, was also warned by the archbishop.
At the beginning, Willie She came to the Bantaan Islands on the [Flaming Rose] and the ship of the Inquisition, disguised as a warship of the Kalmar Union.
It was the [Queen of Eternal Night] Margaret, who had obviously converted to the traditional church, who personally arranged her a legal identity (Chapter 179).
Although both the Hastings and the Kalmar Union are now in power with pro-church factions, they still need to be beaten.
Byron, who had a plan in place, did not take it to heart:
"[Secret: The shadow behind the Red and White Rose War, influence 31, decryption density 68%], one of the shadows behind the war is the church.
Now it seems that the contradiction between the new and old factions has become increasingly intense.
This time it is not just a battle to defend the colonial waterways, but also involves disputes between countries and maritime hegemons, and even between Protestants and Catholics.
All the colonial frictions are just an extension of the struggle in the old continent.
Otherwise, the church, which has always been strong, would not have given up such a large piece of interest to Castile for no reason.
If you find a cockroach in the room, there are countless others hiding in the dark corners.
The friction between the colonies has just begun, but in places we cannot see, the struggle between the old and the new is probably a fight between human brains and dog brains. "
Byron saw the big picture from the small details. Through a dispute in the colonies, he seemed to have seen the situation in the old continent like a powder keg.
One year? Or two years? At most three to five years, it only takes a small spark to detonate the existing religious structure.
He boldly predicted that the place where the turmoil occurred was most likely in the Holy Silver Empire, the headquarters of the church.
Looking up at Sister Theresa sitting opposite.
"If you want to get enough benefits from that foreseeable event, this nun is the key!
It won't be long before the nun's inner self changes into another shape."
Just when Byron thought that the Cardinal would continue to talk about the second, third, and fourth points like most leaders in his previous life, he didn't expect that there were really only three points.
After saying that, he left the podium.
The vice president of the Lighthouse Federation who came on stage later also said only one sentence:
"[Level Zero Holy Relic·Faros Lighthouse] will faithfully record your achievements. All you have to do is find the May Wind and kill it and the mastermind behind it!
No restrictions on the use of any means, adjourn the meeting."
All parties immediately left in a hurry, ready to seize the initiative.
Of course, while striving to be the first, they were also worried about the further enhanced terrifying infectious ability of coral disease.
The coral people who lost themselves, the fog that made people sleep forever, the culprit hidden in the dream, etc., all made them extremely vigilant about this thing.
Just like when the natives faced the [Bird-beak Plague Doctor], it was an unprecedentedly dangerous disaster.
Byron did not rush to leave the parliamentary passage in advance, but when Meganila, who was also frowning, walked by him, he used a breeze to convey his voice:
"Aunt, do you want to win?
Let's meet at the old place, please appreciate a good thing, and then make a deal. How about it?"
Meganila, who had been calculating her strength and felt that she might not have a chance of winning, was shocked when she heard the words and nodded slightly.
After a little deeper understanding, this nephew with many identities seemed to be accustomed to creating miracles, and suddenly looked forward to the good things he mentioned.
