Transcendent Noble

Sophia's beautiful purple eyes instantly turned into jade green, like a bottomless cold pool, and she ran the Battle Qi to suppress the inner shock.

The elegantly decorated small reception room was silent for a while, and it seemed that even the air was frozen by the characteristics of the void Water Element. A few seconds later, Sylvia broke the chilly seclusion, pressing the back of Sophia's hand with an expression Calmly said:

"Don’t be fooled by this guy’s words, the power of Lord of Radiance is not only referring to the divine technique, it is more like the core political power of the human kingdom. Since Pope Enoch founded Radiance Church Since then, countless people have sought the power of the Lord of Radiance, and the most successful representatives are the six Paladin families. In order to seek the power of the Lord of Radiance, even the Pope has been overthrown. What does Victor want to do?"

A weird smile appeared on Victor's face, and he shook his head and said, "Sylvia, you are not surprised, but I am surprised."

"What's so strange about it, at a certain stage, Almost every big lord will have similar thoughts. I will be surprised if you don’t have such thoughts.” Sylvia said with a smile, “The difference is that I have this ambition, but there is no good way. And you don’t just want to. I started to layout. It’s just your layout, I don’t understand."

"I...not understand at all." Sophia smiled bitterly and saw Sylvia drinking coffee slowly, without explanation at all. Interested, he turned his attention to his husband for help.

Victor laughed and said, "For thousands of years, the Knight family has been testing a question. Does Lord of Radiance have self-awareness? The default conclusion is no... This raises the second question. If Lord of Radiance has no self-awareness, then he is a powerful force that can be mastered. Since Enoch Your Majesty can master this power, why can’t we?"

"From the golden age to In the Bronze Age, the most important political struggles in the human kingdom were all to seek the power of Lord of Radiance. Knight aristocrats continued to infiltrate the church. More than 1500 years ago, the Paladin Six Great Families united the aristocracy in the church and overthrew the Pope’s lineage. The biggest winner. More than 300 years ago, some of the aristocratic forces in the Southern Secular Lords United Church challenged the Radiance Knight Group to get a place in the Church Cardinal...To this day, the struggle has not stopped, and Sylvia has been swept away. Go in."

In response to Sophia’s inquiring gaze, Sylvia nodded said: "Neowest’s raid on Ryan is the envoy of Nahtigal, and King El wants to urge me to support Neoves. Especially, to restore Rand Empire to expand the secular influence, and then through Rand Empire to cultivate and absorb the bottom priests, help them return to the power center of the church. In the final analysis, it is also to seek the power of Lord of Radiance."

"However, the Guardians of Light have long been marginalized by the church, and their potential is limited. I am entangled with them, and will only get farther away from the power of Lord of Radiance... The York family was still very weak at the time, even if they could be in the new Rand Empire After I die, York will be hit from all directions, and even the clan will be destroyed."

Sylvia chuckled slightly and said indifferently: "So, I moved my clan westward, it seems Run to the edge of the Western Border of the human kingdom, but politically, the York family is close to the Cardinal and the Radiance Knight regiment."

Sophia was stunned for a long time, faintly said: "I really don’t know about you. All the nobles think about these things all day long... I thought the church is very peaceful now."

Victor said with a smile: "You like the church to be peaceful, and you don’t want the church to be turbulent, because The priest has created a fairer environment and can appeal to the church in case of trouble. But you forgot about the extraordinary attraction... I met the temple warrior Dimat in Naville Kingdom. He is a junior Knight himself. He mastered the divine technique and possessed the power, power and status of the Golden Knight. What is the status of the unnaturally promoted elementary Knight in Centaur Hills? Serving the family for several decades, but a little lord. If they have the opportunity to master the divine technique, do you say that they are willing to throw themselves into the arms of the church? However, there are only so many places in the priest. The Radiance Knight regiment, the Cardinal House, and the Monastery Elder regiment are all impossible. The struggle within the church has spread to the entire Human Kingdom, and we are also involuntarily get involved. "

"...When the ant tide swept through the Centaur Hills, I almost got in... I was surprised. The same lord also paid the eleven tax. Why did the Radiance Knight group take all places? All Paladins are transferred to Sasan Empire, but they ignore Centaur Hills? Clement used all one's strength to make up less than a thousand Paladin to support Centaur Hills. They were all new recruits! "

Victor reduced the anger in his eyes, coldly said: "From that moment, I secretly made up my mind to seek the power of Lord of Radiance. "

Sylvia raised the teapot, filled Victor with snow fungus tea in an elegant posture, lowered her eyes and pursed her mouth said with a smile: "My dear, I look forward to your method more. "

Victor thought for a moment, and then said: "The political structure designed by the Pope Enoch is very clever, and there are hardly any loopholes...Knight is in charge of the secular, and the priest is in charge of the divine power, but in the vertical direction of time— —Knight family rises and falls alternately; in the horizontal direction of space—geopolitical forces are overwhelming each other. This vertical and horizontal divides the Knight family into pieces, and the church is rooted in the largest mortal group and draws on the Power of Faith. This is like the church forming the trunk of a big tree. The Knight family are branches of the big tree. The branches will never be able to fight against the trunk. When the branch representing a certain Knight family wilts, the church trunk will soon give birth to new branches to replace it. it. The human kingdom is therefore very resilient. "

Sylvia's expression moved slightly, and she tried to ask: "The seven Paladin families?" "

Victor nodded and said: "Testil supported the Sasan Empire, the daughter of Reel Garrell and Neowest became partners, and took possession of the territory of Southern Continent, both of which were founded by the Paladin family. Examples of loose branches and leaves. I believe that there must be many similar examples in history. Paused, and admired: "Enoch Your Majesty is really an outstanding person. The tree he planted has not fallen over 9,000 years. Even if the pope lineage is emptied, the church's priest always holds the highest authority of the human kingdom. The scattered secular lords cannot fight against a complete church, and the church does not allow the secular lords to unify into a Great Empire. Once the secular regime is unified, the contradictions between the two parties will be irreconcilable, and the final result will be the end of everyone. "

"Sharp confrontation is definitely not a solution to the power of Lord of Radiance! "Victor said loudly and powerfully.

Sophia thought and thought, taking the time between Victor's tea, and asked: "My dear, I think... isn't this good? "

Victor hate iron for not becoming steel glared at her, sneered: "Where is it?" The Paladin family has begun to develop secular power. Let them develop, how much divine technique support can we get? We do not fight for the power of Lord of Radiance, the whole is marginalized! "

"Okay. "Sylvia put down the silver spoon, and said dissatisfied: "There will be opportunities in the future, you will close the door and learn one by one...I just want to know now, how can you use Golden Group to gain the power of Lord of Radiance?" "

Sophia bit her lower lip lightly, smiled and handed Victor a wink.

"Um..." Victor coughed dryly and continued, "I found the church exists." Two insurmountable shortcomings. First, the greater the number of believers, the greater the number of priests, but the number of priests cannot rule the total number of believers. Otherwise, the church will kill the Black Emperor and fully grasp the right to speak in secular politics, and will not be defeated steadily under the attack of the orcs...Their staff can't control so many people. "

"Second, rule and being ruled are always opposites. The impossible church that relies on Power of Faith stands on the opposite side of believers. When believers encounter danger, they migrate backwards, production stagnates, and defenses collapse. Knight The family evacuated, and the church was so anxious that it was useless. "

"The church needs a secular lord, and the two parties are interdependent and affect each other. Tester felt that the secular lords were disobedient, so they supported Frederick's Imperial Family. The Sasan Empire and the Radiance Knight group are mutually supportive, and the Paladin family's voice in the church has become more and more powerful, and has a tendency to overwhelm the two Great Sect systems of Clement and Tamore. "

"As the Paladin family continues to expand its secular power, if we do not take other measures and continue to develop in this way, the influence of Centaur Hills on the church will only become weaker and weaker. The Golden Group can break through the limitations of the region, penetrate the major cities and towns of the human country, and connect countless free people. She has unimaginable potential. For example, the Greylo sheep monster poses a serious threat to Tatun dukedom. Once Tatun dukedom falls, our Centaur Hills will also be affected. I don't want my destiny to be handed over to the Radiance Knight group and the Moonbear family. I can send power support to Barbarian and Tatun dukedom through the Golden Group... The worldly power of the Golden Group is so strong, what will happen to her supporting Clement? "

Sylvia eyes shined, said with a slight smile: "I see, you want to use Golden Group to support an agent within the church. "

"That's right. "Victor stood up, and said high-spirited and vigorous: "Developing the Golden Group is like digging a canal. Each member family is a reservoir node. We control the Golden Group’s management rights like a control gate, putting all our powers in control. In the palm of your hand, help Clement or Tamor gain greater power, and they will in turn help us master the Golden Group...Of course, I prefer Clement because he particularly needs the support of secular forces, and the Wharton Prairie Diocese also In his hand. "

Victor turned his gaze to Sophia, sat down again, and said, "Sophia, let me tell you, what would happen to the Golden Group without my intervention?" Various free private business organizations emerged like mushrooms after the rain, and then Church organized the free private business unions in the Major Sect districts, and the king would manage them and collect taxes. Your Golden Group is also under the rule of the king, she still won't belong to you. "

"This is why I am anxious. We must dig the canals of the Golden Group before things get out of hand, so as not to give other lords and kings a chance. "

Sylvia held down Victor's hand, looked at him affectionately, and exclaimed: "Very exciting! My dear, I can almost foresee your success. "

"Dear cousin, what do you say?" Sylvia looked towards Sophia and asked with a deep gaze.

Sophia got up, pushed aside the chair and took a half step back, raised her skirt, bowed her knees and said, "I am willing to join." "

"But I insist on maintaining the right to operate the Golden Group, and hope that the two majesty will live behind the Golden Group in accordance with the family Guardian system. "

Sylvia got up, took Sophia's hand, put her back in the chair, and said affectionately: "Don't be so serious, you and Victor's child will inherit the Golden Group." For the affairs of the Golden Group, only two of you can discuss. I don't intervene or ask, if things change, I will come forward to clean up the mess. "

"Victor, you should show your sincerity and take down both the bear group and your mercenaries. In this case, Sophia is more likely to win the trust of Marquis Dwymick and Angie Princess, quickly occupying two important trading hubs. As long as Stonetred City and Bronze Halberd City join the Golden Group, other free private business organizations should not exceed geographical restrictions. "

Victor frowned: "The bear group without armed forces is like a piece of fat that can be slaughtered. "

"It's just a temporary avoidance. "Sylvia said to Sophia again: "Sophia, I must remind you that Golden Group is particularly vulnerable to infiltration. 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 will arrange this. Sophia nodded agreed, smiled sweetly to Victor, and asked: "My Guardian, what should Golden Group do next?" "

Victor said confidently: "You are in charge of the northward route, and I will be responsible for the eastward route for the time being. After you get through the business way to connect to Sasan Empire, I will give you the business way network in my hand. In addition, you should find a suitable opportunity to meet DeKaiser countess in the near future. "

"Mrs. Dolly? "Sophia asked suspiciously.

"en." Victor nodded, said: "If you establish a cooperative relationship with her, you will enter Clement's sight. Later... if I guess it is correct, he will take the initiative to find you and talk to you about building a port on the shore of Lake Fes. "

Sylvia frowned and asked: "Are you going to build a port for Neowest?" "

"No, it's building a port for the Golden Group... The Golden Group must win the shipping right from the Jinshui River to the sea! Victor paused, with a sly smile drawn at the corner of his mouth: "I suspect that there is some connection between Clement and the Neowest family...because the port on the Fez Lake is related to his Central Kingdom strategy. With the help of the Pope, the commercial shipping of Jinshuihe is simply our bag. "

Sylvia still wanted to ask for details. The sound of high heels hitting the floor in the hallway outside the door.

After a while, the door was pulled open from the outside, beautiful and beautiful like a girl Tracey. Wearing a white dress, leaning against the door, coldly asked:

"Have you finished talking? If you have finished talking, please return my man to me." "
