Samsara Paradise: vests everywhere

Your Excellency Chiyou, your latest research findings have attracted the attention of our Supreme Council. Next, I, Omiros R. Amy, will contact you. If you have any needs, you can communicate with me directly, and I will convey it to the Supreme Council. parliament.

Inside the Soul Research Association, Lin Jiu stood facing a man in his late thirties with a mustache. The man's expression didn't change much, but from his shrewd eyes, it was not difficult to see that this guy often mingled in social situations.

As for the Supreme Council that Amy Mustache mentioned, it is now the highest authority in the Heling Empire. The Valen Empire also has a similar power structure. This is one of the reasons why Lin Jiu doubts the status of the two kings at this time.

Because the parliamentary system is also known as the representative system. It is a political system in which the parliament is the country’s highest power center, legislative center and political decision-making center. The democratically elected government must be responsible to the citizens’ parliament in accordance with the provisions of the constitution. Although it still has the color of feudal system, there are already some embryonic forms of democracy.

In addition to legislative powers, a normal parliament also has broad powers to sign diplomatic treaties, declare war, approve peace talks, impeach the government, approve government budgets, elect and supervise heads of state and government leaders.

But don't forget that in the memory of the predecessor, the descriptions of the two empires, the Holy Spirit King and the Soul-Eating King were dictatorial. The appearance of this word made it impossible for the empire to implement a parliamentary system.

Monarchy and dictatorship were the correct political systems for the two empires. Especially in an empire where royal power and divine power are integrated, the characteristics of this political system will be infinitely magnified.

From the perspective of the sociology of religion, religion is a unified system of beliefs and rituals related to sacred things that are both unique and inviolable. As the church continued to develop and grow, the religious power that originally belonged to the emperor continued to weaken as the church's organizational structure became increasingly perfect and the church's resources became increasingly abundant.

If royal power and divine power are not unified, the two will inevitably enter a state of opposition. Then the parliamentary system will appear to restrict it, or separation of three powers, such as the old holy king and the moon goddess in the world of the moon god, is a reasonable situation.

As for the Heling Empire, we should refer to the Holy Roman Empire. As the highest ruler, it is also the highest religious authority. Lin Jiu did not see this trend in the Heling Empire. The Holy Spirit Church was perfectly integrated into the political system. Even the members of the Supreme Council were all members of the church.

The emergence of the political system of the Supreme Council made Lin Jiu couldn't help but doubt that the Holy Spirit King and the Soul-Eating King were in such a state that they were no longer suitable to appear in front of others. They were still kings in name only, but the implementation of their rights was determined by the Supreme Council. In progress.

After reuniting with Isabella and Gungun, and returning to the Soul Research Institute with the soul team, Lin Jiu reported his predecessor's latest discoveries, information about the soul world and the soul wind, to the Supreme Council. Of course, there are a lot of things hidden in it. After all, what I want to do is make a transaction, not make a contribution.

Just as Lin Jiu expected, the conjectures about the soul world and the soul wind attracted the attention of the empire officials, who immediately sent people to assist him in continuing this research project.

In this regard, Lin Jiu also had an idea. Perhaps the higher-ups of the empire had control over the information discovered by his predecessor, but they did not study it themselves. It was most likely the information left by the Holy Spirit King. The abnormal state of the Holy Spirit King at this time is also related to the soul world, so Chiyou who can study the soul world without prompting becomes a person they think can help the Holy Spirit King.

Hmm... On the other hand, the source of speculation about the problem with the Holy Spirit King is that in recent years, whether it is the Heling Empire or the Valen Empire, the frequency of alien species and ghosts has increased rapidly, and the probability of mutant alien species has also increased. . Logically speaking, the purification of the Holy Spirit King and the devouring of the Soul-Eating King are both powerful tools to deal with this situation, but this growth frequency has not been suppressed.

The abilities of the members of the Church of the Holy Spirit are actually biased towards purification, but in recent years, the purification efficiency has become lower and lower, and there are fewer and fewer believers who have the ability to purify. Presumably the situation is similar in the Church of Soul Eater, so that The two rival empires, which were originally in constant friction, are now busy dealing with internal issues within the empire, and the conflict between them has been reduced to a minimum. There may even be times when the two sides cooperate.

The Holy Spirit King and the Soul-Eating King are not trapped in the soul world. Lin Jiu looked at Amy, the official who came to assist him, and his mind was spinning rapidly. The Holy Spirit King and the Soul-Eating King are very important to this world, or to the extraordinary people in this world. After they have problems, the first thing people in the empire think about is not to rebel, but to help them recover. Unless there are people with abilities who can replace them, the Holy Spirit Church and the Soul-Eating Church will always exist.

I do need your help with something. I need information about the original runes, and then I will send a few ghosts and a few alien species. Lin Jiu said directly to Amy, the liaison officer, without making any detours. Now that he had guessed that the official support was likely to be related to the Holy Spirit King, there was no need for him to care about whether the original rune information would arouse official hostility.

Original Rune? I have never heard of this thing. I will help you report it to the Supreme Council, and the top will make a decision. I can make decisions on ghosts and alien species, and they will be sent to you soon. . Amy has never heard of the original rune, so she needs to report it.

And Lin Jiu was curious. This was not the first time that the Soul Research Association had asked the authorities for the ghosts and alien species they needed. Although in most cases, they were captured by members of the Soul Team, they also went through the official channels of the empire. , Amy can decide on her own for this request.

After Lin Jiu made the request, Amy returned to the parliament hall. In the middle of Yuling City is the palace of the Holy Spirit King, but the parliament hall of the Supreme Council is not there, but on the left side of the palace. The palace was extremely deserted at this time. Lin Jiu thought it was because the world was naturally not lively, but he never thought it was because of the Holy Spirit King.

Regarding the first stage of the awakening mission, Lin Jiu felt that there was no problem. This stage of the mission was not difficult in the first place. All you need to do is find someone who knows about the original runes. Just like Su Xiao, if you want to get information from the Soul Whisperer, the key is to find the Soul Whisperer.

After finding the soul whisperer, even if the old woman didn't speak, Su Xiao could get the information through constant testing and complete the first step of the mission.

Lin Jiu's side is even simpler. Because there is no standard target, he suspects that the empire's high-ranking officials probably know about the original runes. If the empire does not choose to cooperate, he can kidnap a high-ranking empire official and come back and torture him about the original runes. Intelligence, complete the first step of the mission.

It's just that doing so will cause some turmoil in the Heling Empire. Lin Jiu would only take this step when there was no other way. Strategies with a greater negative impact, such as bad strategies, are often the simplest, crudest and most effective strategies.

In addition to information about the original runes, Lin Jiu was also very interested in existences such as ghosts and alien species. The dangers of these existences are worthy of recognition, otherwise we would not have been reminded of the paradise of reincarnation before entering the world.

Danger does not mean that it should be avoided. Research on the soul also requires the contribution of these beings, so as long as there are forces involved in research, these beings have basically been captured.

During the time that Lin Jiu entered the native world, he had not encountered ghosts or alien species. He just asked the empire to send some over, and he was mentally prepared for contact. In particular, is the existence of ghosts a pure spiritual life? Is it possible to transform it into the power of the soul?
