So, Camilo smiled and raised the wine glass towards Diana.

"Mrs. Surante, come and have a drink too."

He could have mistaken Diana for Surante, so he can't be serious when he talks drunkenly...

It would be strange if it is not true!

If the Holy See is serious with you, you won't be able to function even if you drink lava.

Someone once uttered the truth while drunk and cursed the Holy See from top to bottom. As a result, the Inquisition arranged a fine rack at the stake the next day.

Let's play, let's make trouble, don't make fun of the Holy See.

This is a basic principle of wine table bragging.

It would usually be fine to tease gossip about the emperor and his concubines at the wine table, but if it were to discuss the bishop and the little boy praying late at night, it would probably cause trouble.

The more something is lacking, the more something needs to be promoted.

Because the Holy See has become more and more shameless in its actions over the years, they are becoming more and more shameless.

Seeing Camilo almost kneeling down in embarrassment, Diana raised her cup and took a sip of water, stared at Viscount Camilo for a while, and then said slowly:

"Mr. Camilu, there are some things you really shouldn't say nonsense. I don't have to argue with you, but other clergy of the Holy See may not hear it."

"There are a lot of moths in the current Holy See. They don't have other abilities, but they still have the ability to find trouble."

Diana could join some groups, but Camilo didn't dare to join them.

He nodded in agreement and never dared to bring up topics related to the Holy See again.

Looking at Lord Camilo, Diana was thoughtful.

Camilo is not an ordinary citizen. He is a hereditary noble and the city lord of a trading port city. Although his title is not hereditary, it is not difficult to make his son a viscount with a little manipulation. He can be regarded as a representative of the middle-class nobles.

He was afraid of being like this when facing the Holy See, but what about the others?

No one likes to live in fear.

In the past, the Holy See won the hearts and reputation of the people by solving practical difficulties and providing therapeutic services.Today, the Holy See relies on the high-pressure terror caused by the stakes of the Inquisition to maintain its rule.

If this continues, the Holy See may be taking jujube pills.

Diana remembered the experiment of dividing light into seven colors and became even more convinced of this.

The Holy See in this world is already filthy. They are not worthy to be servants of the great Lord of Holy Light, and they have no right to oppress poor believers.

Diana looked at Camilo's sweating look and felt a little unbearable. She smiled and said, "If the city lord is still short of food and supplies, I can donate some in the name of the knights."

Matthew looked at Diana and knew that she was building momentum for the Knights, not winning hearts and minds for the Holy See.

The Holy See is rotten, and trying to win back people's hearts by distributing some food is simply a dream.

For Diana, even if the broken ship of the Holy See sinks, she will never feel bad.

She didn't want to tinker with a broken ship.

Rather than fighting with those stubborn old men, it is better to build a new ship.

If she said this before the Battle of the Grassland, it was wishful thinking, but now she does have the capital.

After the grassland battle, Matthew announced Saudin's crimes very domineeringly.

He collected a large amount of evidence and pushed out every sin that Saudin had done.

Of course, most of these things are true, and only a few are made-up crimes.

Anyway, Saudin has been annihilated, and most of the remaining disciples have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side under the leadership of Ashina. Only a handful of diehards are still resisting, but they no longer pose a substantial threat.

After making the Immortal Heaven an illegal belief, Matthew very considerately introduced three gods to the prairie people and gave them a chance to choose.

First on the list is the goddess of destiny. The goddess of destiny is a benevolent god. She does not need to be enshrined or worshiped, as long as she really puts the goddess of destiny first.

This kind of belief without any religious organization is not so much a religion as a cloud belief.

The second one is the God of Souls. Belief in this God is also very simple, similar to the Goddess of Fate.However, the entry requirements for belief in this god are slightly higher and require a certain amount of soul power.

However, Matthew's additional conditions are obviously a waste of effort to wink at a blind man.

Because no one believes in the God of Souls at all.

After Saudin made the sacrificial circle that defied the heavens, people were indifferent to things related to the soul.

Coupled with the poor reputation of the God of Souls, less than 3 people changed their faith because of Matthew.

Although Matthew could not represent the God of Souls, this result still made him a little frustrated.

The third god is the Lord of Holy Light.

However, this time there was no organization from the Holy See, instead all religious ceremonies were performed by the Knights.

Diana established strict commandments for her followers, which she took the lead in observing and required everyone to abide by them.

In Matthew's opinion, Deanna was doing this as a joke.

They haven't given you many benefits yet, but they have imposed strict rules. Do you think you are a fool from the prairie people?

However, the facts are unexpected. There are unexpectedly many people who believe in the Lord of Holy Light.

In the eyes of these simple prairie people, Changshengtian is certainly not a good thing, but how much better can Matthew be?

Many families lost loved ones in the war. They were grieving inexplicably and needed to find an outlet.

Matthew is the perfect candidate.

There are even many people who stubbornly believe that Saudin is not so bad. If Matthew had not invaded the grassland, maybe the venerable would still be the amiable venerable.

Although the Knights had many rules and regulations, the same was true for Changshengtian back then.

What is slightly different from the Holy Land of Immortality is that the members of the Knights themselves must abide by the rules and regulations.

Diana took the lead herself, who dared not to follow?

If someone violates it, be careful that the priest of the commandment group comes to talk to you.

In fact, what people fear is not rules at all, but unfair rules.

If everyone abides by it, including those with high status, there will be no complaints.

Even in the eyes of many people, being controlled is a sense of belonging.

Matthew didn't quite understand this Stockholm behavior at first, but he suddenly thought of the old librarian in "The Shawshank Redemption".

These people are already used to being constrained. If you suddenly give them a free religious belief, they will not cheer for freedom. They will only look at you in fear, thinking pitifully that you are going to abandon them.

Matthew was completely speechless about this.

In this way, Diana's Knights became one of the big winners in the war.

They are winning in the area of ​​religion.

Diana left some of the Knights on the grasslands, letting them take root in the area and encouraging them to marry local girls.

In this way, it didn't take much time for Diana to take over the vacancy left after the destruction of the Holy Land of Immortality and dominate the thought realm of the prairie people.

When the bishop of the Holy See came to the grassland excitedly with the papal appointment, he realized that everything was too late.

He could indeed build a church on the prairie, but no one paid any attention to him.

These prairie barbarians have all converted to the Holy Light, but they recognize it as the Knights, not them.

The bishop sent by the Pope was dumbfounded and had no choice but to accept Diana's conditions and stay in the grassland as an empty-headed bishop like a polished commander.

He didn't want to either, but he had no choice.

If he doesn't cooperate with Diana, he won't even be able to maintain his superficial work, and he will have to go back soon.

It doesn't matter if he goes back, his political future is over.

So, the Holy See Bishop stayed in the grassland, drinking kumis, gnawing on the leg of lamb, and staring at the grassland in boredom every day.

This was the situation when Diana followed Matthew to the Empire.

Offering Savannah's experiments, she became confident in how to rebuild the Lightlord's organization.

At this time, the Lord Camilo uttered the truth after drinking and was heard by Diana. She didn't care, and even thought of wooing the Lord to become a helper.

Ever since she used the seven-colored light to condense the black light, she was no longer the simple and pure Diana she used to be.

In order to achieve her own goals, she will also use tactics, calculations, and even occasionally abandon her principles.

Only when she was in front of Matthew, she was still the somewhat reckless but innocent and lovely [Justice].

Other times she had long forgotten this former title.

Seeing that Diana was eyeing the Lord of Camilo, Matthew naturally would not stop her.

Lord Camilo is in charge of his work, but who is in charge of what he does after get off work?

People, you have to believe in something.If he didn’t believe anything, Matthew wouldn’t dare to use such a bold guy.

Everyone in this world is religious anyway, so let him follow Diana.

Facing the olive branch extended by Diana, Camilo, who had completely sobered up, turned his eyes to Matthew in fear, his eyes full of questions.

What he meant was simple.

"Your Majesty, can you believe this knighthood? Please tell me something accurate."

Matthew solemnly said: "Camillo, the Knights of Walder are the knights founded by Captain Walder. It has been more than 30 years ago. The Knights have fought in the north and south. At the same time, they are also rescuing the wounded and helping the people. They have a great reputation. good."

"To tell you the truth, I converted to the Holy Light again under the recommendation of Captain Diana. Now my first belief is no longer the God of Souls, but the Lord of the Holy Light."

When he said this, Matthew felt slightly guilty. If a bolt of holy light and thunder struck down, the scene would be embarrassing.

However, no.

The Lord of Holy Light is not so boring, staring at the world all the time.

The cost of sending a divine thunder down is too great. The God Realm is now in ruins, and the Lord of Holy Light has no resources to waste.

Seeing that nothing happened, Matthew raised his eyebrows and motioned for Diana to start performing.

Camilo was stunned when he heard Matthew's answer.

The Holy See has repeatedly stated that they are the only official platform for belief in the Holy Light.Although it is possible to believe in the Holy Light through other channels, the effect will be greatly reduced.

This is almost the difference between official uniforms and channel uniforms.

But in recent years, more and more people are taking channel services.

The tax collected by the Holy See is the tithe. After paying a series of taxes such as land tax, head tax, breathing tax, and king's tax, the common people have long been out of money and have become poor. However, the Holy See still wants to tax. Who can do this? Can you bear it?

Matthew’s support for the Knights was simple.

By believing in the Holy Light through the Knights, although you have to pay taxes to the Knights, it is only one tax per twenty, and Matthew also provides tax concessions in other aspects.

This set of policies has been tried out in the newly established Black Sheep and White Sheep Khanate in the grassland area, and it seems to be very effective so far.

Seeing Camilo's panic at this time, Matthew also took out this set of tax reduction carrots.

He said it lightly, but Camilo's brain had already begun rapid calculations.

His computing power is very strong, and it only took him a few dozen seconds to calculate the discount after switching to the channel server.

He could only say that Matthew and Diana gave too much.

So, he saluted Diana very devoutly and said loudly: "Since my lord has converted to the Knights, a loyal minister like me will naturally follow in my lord's footsteps."

As expected of a businessman, he is skillful in doing business.

It's obvious that he converted because of profit, but he behaved like the loyal dog Hachiko. Absolutely!

Of course, Matthew had no objection.

Supporting Diana's baptism was his basic policy and part of their covenant.

Diana has a bottom line in life and principles in doing things. Cooperating with her is a hundred times better than cooperating with the Holy See.

Since no one wants to believe in the goddess of destiny and the god of souls, it is not bad to believe in Diana.

Well, he meant faith in the Lord of Light through Diana.

Camilo is a businessman. As long as the benefits are in place, he will grit his teeth and sell the rope that hangs him. If he changes his beliefs, he will change them.

In fact, he really doesn't care about faith, because what businessmen believe in is only wealth.

After this operation, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
