Chapter 47: Trading
"My request is simple, just one point:"
At this time, the old man suddenly put away his impropriety, and changed to an extremely serious expression, and then slowly said his conditions:
"We need your promise to restore the supremacy and status of the Church on the day you ascend the throne!"
The sloppy old man's words made Lelouch slightly silent, this seems to be just an inconsequential agreement and guarantee, the other party didn't even take out a piece of convention, that is to say, there is no binding force, but Lelouch doesn't think so, he knows that if he agrees to the other party, then the other party must have a way to make himself realize his promise, even if it can't be realized, there can be a way to break the net.
Therefore, Lelouch is very cautious about the needs of the other party, and as for the price paid by the other party, as the other party said, the throne, although Lelouch is still very weak, the other party seems to have found signs of Lelouch's future development, or recognized Lelouch's ability and future, and is willing to provide his own strength for Lelouch's development.
The old man did not rush to let Lelouch answer, but sat quietly and waited silently, this wait did not take long, Lelouch only thought about it slightly, and finally spoke:
"I've got you covered!"
Lelouch's words made the old man's eyes light up, and even many of the surrounding diners seemed to have a trace of restlessness, Nevsky felt this restlessness, and was stunned to find that the floor he was on had been occupied by the other party's people, and all this seemed to be inadvertent.
Lelouch's words did not make the old man answer immediately, he knew that Lelouch must have something to say, and sure enough, Lelouch continued:
"As for the reward, I don't think it's necessary at all, I think that even without your help, I will achieve my goal sooner or later, so I can't accept what you offer, but... I can make a suggestion, if you accept, then I don't need any effort from you, and I am willing to accept this agreement! ”
The old man's eyes remained serious and shining, and he did not answer, motioning for Lelouch to continue.
"My proposal is simple!"
Lelouch's voice was a little louder, but there was still no one around him looking at the table, and the old man looked at Lelouch silently.
"I don't know who you believed in and still believe, but I hope you will in the future..."
"They all believe in me!"
Lelouxiu's words made the old man stunned, and the surrounding people, the atmosphere rose sharply, and finally, there were one or two pairs of eyes that couldn't help but be curious, and then, those people directly bleed, and fell to the ground silently, this unbelievable ability, so that Lelouxiu couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.
In fact, the requirements of these churches may not seem excessive, but the fact is that Lelouch is more far-reaching than they see, in Europe and the Middle East in the earth age, religion's control and oppression of secular authority can be said to completely exceed all kings and empires, and the pope sitting in the church of Rome can let the king of a big country like Britain step down from the throne with just one sentence, which is completely unacceptable in Lelouch's view.
Moreover, once religion gains greater power, it will be a disaster for that empire, so the old man's words made Lelouch stay on guard far higher than they expected.
However, Lelouch didn't want to give up the help of the church, or wanted to subdue this force, but whether it was to offer more tempting conditions or temporary deception, it was completely undesirable, so in the end, Lelouch gave a solution that could perfectly solve this kind of problem, that is, ********!
In ancient times, China has always been a ******** country, and the emperor is the Son of Heaven, who is not only the highest holder of power in the secular world, but also the son of heaven in the divine realm, on the one hand, it is the worldly identity, and on the other hand, it is the highest object of religious service, so although China has also had several religious wars, it is far from reaching the point of destroying the country and destroying the species, and religion has never controlled the empire even once.
It is precisely because of this that Lelouch put forward his own suggestions and conditions, if the church accepts such conditions, then Lelouch can use the power of the church with complete confidence, and the church does not have to worry about Lelouch's repentance or other unfavorable means.
It's a win-win situation!
After the old man was stunned for a moment, his eyes became more serious, and he seemed to be thinking very seriously about Lelouch's proposal, and after a long time, Nevsky put his hand on the sword and took it down several times, and finally, the old man smiled:
"It is worthy of the son of God, to be able to think of such a good idea, your proposal, we accepted, oh, no, we can't say to accept, but we have finally found what we have been looking for: the true God!"
The old man stood up suddenly, got down on one knee solemnly, and prostrated at Lelouch's feet:
"We will abide by the contract and serve you and your descendants wholeheartedly until generations to come, Your Majesty!"
...
Religion exists in almost any civilized country, because the only explanation that any thinking creature can give when it encounters something that it cannot explain at the moment is God, or God.
The same is true of the Terran church in Middle-earth, it is accompanied by the rise of the human race, in the early days of the rise of the human race, he dedicated the unobtainable power, legend has it that in the most glorious moment of the church, the entire church has 10,000 church knights, and 50,000 church guards, they are well-equipped and have excellent combat effectiveness, but this armed with the battle of the White City, completely fell under the army of Mordor, and became a memory in the minds of mankind.
The church accepted Lelouch's conditions, Lelouch from now on, will be shaped by them as the son of the true god, for the control of propaganda and public opinion, the church has far more power than any other force in the heaven-sent land, according to Al, this propaganda in the White City is just the tip of the iceberg of the church's ability, Al, is the sloppy old man.
After agreeing to Lelouch's conditions, Al claimed that in order to ensure that Lelouch completed the agreement, he needed to be by his side to supervise all the time, so he followed Lelouch back to the hotel, Nevsky has always been vigilant against the sloppy old man next to him, but it is because this old man's ability is too weird, which makes Nevsky, who likes to go straight, always feel uncomfortable.
With the addition of Al, Leluxiu's whole team is all together except for internal affairs talents, although he has not yet received the canonization, but Lelouch already feels that he has not come to the imperial capital for nothing, and the rest is just waiting for the canonization, and then returning to Limburg, but, will things really be so smooth sailing? The fact that he came to the imperial capital by himself is a conspiracy and a contest, so how can it be easy for himself as the source!
