Chapter 271: Mainland Planning
In the complex behind the main hall of the shrine, in the shade of a patchwork of trees, at the end of a path paved with small stone paved paths leading to the pavilion, Thor was sitting in a gazebo of incomparably fine construction, sitting on a rock-sized stone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The stone seemed to be artificially carved, smooth and flat above, but it retained its natural shape, the same marble, and it was cold to sit on it in summer, and you didn't even need to fan the maids on both sides.
Only then did Saul understand what kind of life the ancient emperors lived, and he was only a rather "poor" king of Soth.
Thinking of the lazy king in Schönbrunn Palace, Saul somewhat understood why he was lazy in political affairs, when the king has someone to think about for you and do everything for you, just eat, drink and have fun, what an easy life it is.
As long as he is a person who is not strong enough, he will be easily corrupted, just like Thor now.
However, it's not that he doesn't have enough concentration, it's just that because of the different levels of life, he has become very leisurely in dealing with the problem of life perspectives.
After all, in Thor's opinion, apart from the unknown research conducted by the Church of Light, it was really difficult for anything else to do him any harm.
As a god son with an almost endless life, there was no reason why Thor should not feel laid-back, a summer in the human calendar was really nothing to him.
He was holding a pair of chess pieces in his hand, which was the popular game of "Cro Chess" in the Wotan Continent, which was played in much the same way as the chess in the other world he remembered.
It is a game that is divided into two sides and wins by capturing the opponent's pieces.
Among the large number of gifts sent by Isgerin, there was such a chess piece carved from white jade, after all, Susie was in the jewelry business, so it was not surprising that she would give such a gift, so Sol simply took it out to play.
He was playing with chess pieces in his hand, but his mind was thinking about the Church of Light, and he was still very entangled in this mysterious organization, and wanted to send someone to investigate and figure out their research.
But he has no foundation in the Wotan Continent, let alone any minions, and he can gain a firm foothold in Worms, on the one hand, it is the power of Morey and Malten, and more importantly, the care of Susie and the Conrad family, as for the power of the Earth Snake, it is borrowed from the door and the eye.
But their influence also stopped at the territory of Worms, and a little farther away may have some tentacles in Fran, but the Holy See of Light does not even think about it.
"I still don't have my own territory in Wotan. Thor sighed heartily as he played with the chess pieces in his hand.
If he has a piece of his own territory on the Wotan Continent, then he can extend his trade tentacles, and over the years, he can always accumulate a certain amount of contacts and form his own power.
It would not have been impossible to obtain information about the Church, at least if he had been accepted into Wotan's ruling circles.
But half a year ago, the Kingdom of Sos was only a small tribe of a thousand people, and others couldn't help but treat them as natives of the mountains and wilderness.
Thor was also very helpless about this situation.
"Brother Saul, what are you thinking?" said Bertha Bardot, who had come running from the small garden on the side.
Originally, Thor had invited Bertha to cool off in the back garden of the shrine today, and when the two of them were playing chess, Thor was always distracted by the affairs of several adjudicators, which caused him to lose a few games in a clump and then Bertha ran out of boredom to play something else.
After Thor had asked the maid to follow her, he sat here and thought about things.
Stopping playing with the chess pieces, Thor looked up at the girl running towards him, and smiled unconsciously, he really felt like Bertha was his sister, and after knowing that he was actually a virus, he was skeptical of the memories of family that had been copied in his mind.
And after becoming a god son, he doesn't care about this, because a creature like Soth has no emotions at all, and as a god who gives birth to multiple worlds, he may have gone beyond the category of living things.
But Thor was a strange individual, and he felt a variety of emotions in the Soth tribe, including deep friendships and companionships like Blacktooth and Diana, or the respect for elders like Morey, Paladin, and others.
And in Bertha, Thor feels more of a kind of family affection, a kind of family affection that really takes care of Bertha as his sister, and this kind of family affection certainly exists in Tula.
And this leads to Saul's struggle with another matter.
That is the embezzlement of Chateauroux.
No matter what you do, you must have a reason, this is known to everyone, after making a decision, you must make yourself appear righteous and stand at the highest point of public opinion, so that you can more effectively attack your opponent.
Yongfa, Fontaine, the common people, the entire southwestern border people are not happy, and from time to time there will be a wave of rebellion, as the lord of the Grand Duke Fontaine is of course unpopular.
From this point of view, it seems that Saul and others do not need any name after taking Chateauroux, and if they do, the local people may not have any resistance.
But the problem lies in this, there may not be resistance, and naturally there may not be support, Sol and Susie's points of light are completely identical, they both think that the local people are more likely to watch their behavior, and they may be happy to maintain Fang Dan's hatred, but they also don't believe in the common people on Sol's side, where can the barbarians be stronger than the mediocre Fontaine?
And the common people do not support or oppose it, but the other nobles are in trouble, Fontaine is the lord of Southwest France, a duke, and the lord of countless counts, barons, and knights, and they naturally will not let their lord be overthrown by two outsiders.
The attitude of the other French nobles towards Thor and Susie can also be imagined, even if they do not directly raise troops to fight, they will carry out obstruction and attack in all aspects, which will undoubtedly cause them a very unfavorable external environment.
Although Worms may support Susie if he makes a profit, after all, it is on the territory of the Franisians, and the country has not collapsed, so Saul does not want to be a target of public criticism.
And the solution to this problem lies with Bertha.
As the daughter of Frank Bardot, the most orthodox princess of the French royal family, with the power of heir, under the banner of supporting the princess, is undoubtedly the best choice.
Not to mention that this is justified, it is more likely to win the sympathy of the lower classes.
After all, Frank's reputation in China is well known, and the title of the lazy king also arose from the folk first, and the princess who was persecuted by the mediocre father and the king's ministers and had to go into exile in a foreign land can definitely arouse the empathy and compassion of most people.
What's more, when Bertha fled from Rosendaal, she was also helped by many nobles, and her mother was the adopted daughter of a well-known nobleman, although Thor didn't want to take advantage of this, but there is no doubt that in France, many nobles knew about the existence of Bertha as a princess, and had a certain amount of sympathy and support for her.
