Chapter 19: Change and Immutability
It took a long time for Vivien Leigh to digest the contents, and after a long while, she stumbled and asked, "But, but Ancestor Claudine has returned to the Root Vortex, aren't we lying?"
"Seriously speaking, isn't the reason why faith has come into existence because it can give people a spiritual sustenance and a direction to guide the code of conduct? In this case, it doesn't matter so much whether the gods of faith really exist or not?"
"But, but......" Vivien Leigh always felt that something was wrong, but after frowning and thinking for a while, she could only ask, "What about the Pope and the priest? What about the gods? Without any of these, how can it be called a church!"
Charlotte and Kathleen glanced at each other, and the former smiled, "Aren't you the Pope? The Knights of the Rose and the Royal Knights under your command are apologetic priests, and if you train some missionary priests and the like, and conduct strict knightly training for the core members of the church, won't these knights become apologetic priests in the future?"
Vivien Leigh's mouth opened wide, a 'Is this okay?' expression.
Charlotte vaguely remembered that in the Middle Ages in her previous life, there was a knight order who both preached and killed the enemy, and it seemed that it was still a famous and powerful knight order.
"There's nothing wrong with that, the doctrine is based on chivalry, and isn't it okay to add things that suit the ideas of the people of the North, such as persuading people to be positive and courageous? And the Knights Church can not only effectively curb the gods from infiltrating the North, but also the priests trained by the Knights Church can also become a supplementary force for the Knights, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
"Okay, okay......" Vivien Leigh was confused by Charlotte's blueprint as she imagined the future, and finally agreed to the plan with hesitation. But at the same time, she made another request, "However, although I agree to support the Church of the Knights of Claudien, I am also willing to expel the Church of the Gods. However, I will not agree with you to deal with the citizens of Erosa with such brutality. Erosa needs stability, she can't play in the same room anymore!
Charlotte was silent for a moment, and Vivien Leigh stared at him without giving an inch. After feeling each other's determination in their eyes, Charlotte's gaze softened.
Kathleen sensed the change in the mood, and she tugged at Charlotte's sleeve to remind him not to compromise on the issue. But Charlotte ignored Kathryn's hint and nodded slowly.
"Yes, on behalf of Icewind Castle and the Eye of Time, I agree to your request. ”
"Charlotte!" Kathryn secretly scolded the 'turtle bastard' in her heart, saying it well at first, but in the end, she actually took two organizations as deserters.
"Sister Kathryn, Teacher Nancy left alone, it should also mean that you should be fully responsible for this matter, right?, can you agree to my request?" Fei Wenli looked at Kathryn with burning eyes.
This time, Kathleen learns the reason for Charlotte's loose attitude. There seemed to be some kind of void burning in Vivien Leigh's blue pupils, and the firm faith was like a rock, making Catherine have thoughts that she could not fight.
Now, what's the point of her insisting alone?
Kathleen glared at Charlotte fiercely and nodded, "Okay, I agree to your request on behalf of the Phantom Forest." ”
Fei Wenli smiled at this time, "Okay! This is the end of this matter! I will deal with the aftermath first, everyone, I will hold a victory banquet in the barracks in the evening, although it is simple, please do not hesitate to attend!"
She said goodbye and asked Cynthia to go with her. But the latter shook her head, saying that she still had some personal matters to ask Charlotte about.
After Fevien Leigh left, Cynthia smiled at Charlotte, "I guessed this ending a long time ago, but I thought your heart would become as dry and hard as sun-dried wood." ”
"Hmph, the so-called difficult climate is talking about such a man!" Catherine hugged her chest and sneered.
As a matter of fact, last night was not only an open operational meeting, but also a small discussion between these people after the meeting. Cynthia, as an important participant, knows everything that happened today.
Charlotte sneered dissatisfiedly, "Since I already knew, please don't push this kind of negotiation to me alone." ”
"But whether it's from the class you are in, or from the perspective of proximity, you can only be competent in negotiating. Don't look at me like this, in fact, I don't know how many nobles in the country gossip about me behind my back, saying that I influence the governance measures of the Grand Duke of Vivien Leigh and ignore the interests of the nobles. It's just a matter of saying that I'm a minister, and there is actually an ugly lace scandal between me and Fei Wenli, saying that I am a demon who has died in the country, and it is quite logical to look at it......"
Even though she complained, Cynthia still had her usual graceful smile on her face, but Charlotte could hear the resentment in her words. Come to think of it, this is why Cynthia is obviously trusted, but she does not hold any position.
However, Charlotte did feel guilty about this sister-in-law, and the Clayderman family felt a lot of guilt about their brother and sister.
Charlotte turned her gaze to Kathryn, and before she could speak, the unyielding Miss of the Phantom Forest had already gushed out.
"Don't look at me! First, I'm not like you, the nominal leader of the two major mage organizations at a young age, and second, the status of the Forest of Illusions is already embarrassing in Erosa, and it is completely based on Fei Wenli's personal mage team activities. If I talk too much, and I don't know, I still think that the evil Phantom Forest wants to steal the Clayderman family's property!"
When she said the previous sentence, Kathleen was quite resentful, and it seemed that the eldest lady still did not let go of her competitive heart for this old enemy who had heard about her since childhood.
"Am I not the victim? How does it sound like I'm the perpetrator?"
"You're a man, you have to take care of it!" At this time, Kathryn, who used to look down on ordinary men, actually separated the difference between men and women.
"Equality between men and women and the difference between men and women are left to your nonsense, is there such a convenient way to say it in this world?"
"If you have time to refute there, you might as well think about your next plan. Cynthia interrupted the bickering, "Now that this is the case, how can we effectively curb the infiltration of the church so that Erosa can get a precious respite?"
"Before agreeing to Vivien Leigh's plan, I naturally had something in mind. No, to be precise, I already thought about it when I set this plan. Charlotte looked at Ramsay, who was looking at her nose and nose behind her, "Ramsay, that thing can be carried out." Order the Eye of Time mage to secretly cooperate with Erosa and make those fanatics disappear from the world. ”
"Yes, Lord!" Ramsay bowed and smiled at the stunned Catherine, "I don't think the Forest of Illusions will find out that our Eye of Time mages are acting in the shadows, right?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Cynthia's eyes, "It seems that I am still wrong, your heart has become as dry and hard as sun-dried wood." ”
"No!" After being stunned, Kathleen had a different opinion, "This guy hasn't changed at all!"
Thinking of this, Kathleen actually had a faint trace of jealousy for Vivien Leigh.
