Feige's disdain discouraged Flare Bright, and she was busy arguing before leaving, "It's all a joint choice, we didn't force it, and show respect with the attitude of a god." Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Fei Qi stopped dwelling on the topic, saying that he "didn't want to talk about it anymore", and hurriedly sent Yaoguang away.

After all the fragments of the goddess had left, the banquet returned to normal, and Fitch was greeted by people who came and went, and the waiters brought him the latest desserts and drinks. Xia Ni sat down next to Feiqi, leaned her shoulders on her shoulders, and said, "Are you really going to the Second World to find that crystal?"

"Yes. Actually, even if I hadn't flickered, I would have gone to the second world according to the original plan. The threat of that world must be eliminated and avoided...... At the very least, reduce the threat of the Night of the Scarlet Meteors, and then find a way not to let the Second World crash into it and lead to the destruction of this place. Feige sighed and said, "The first thing is okay, at least I can still make a plan." The latter thing...... It's really hard. Thankfully, today I finally found some clues. ”

"Hmm, does it have anything to do with the shards of the goddesses such as Twinkle and Flare?"

"Yes. If those crystals can increase the power of the gods, and the creator can control the worlds to collide, then can a god as powerful as it be able to prevent this from happening?" Feige frowned, his eyes fixed on the ground, and did not look at Xia Ni as he was used to. He straightened out and raised his hands to cover his head, covering all his expressions, and said in a low voice, "Xia Ni, do you think which goddess fragment would be willing to expend his strength to do this?

"Surely it won't, flare...... If all other options were worse, she might do something to save the world, but I know that the Goddess of Truth Thunder will, so Thunder White, who has inherited most of her memories, is the most likely. ”

"Let her save the world again, and give her this burden again? If there is no other way, it will be like this, but you usually help me to observe and test my breath. I didn't want the good guys to keep sacrificing while others sat back and enjoyed the results. ”

"Okay, I'll take notice. But does that mean you're going to move your school of magic to Port Tawu?"

"I'm going to say to Andrew. Feige rubbed his face vigorously until it turned red before he stood up. He straightened his clothes and walked over to His Majesty the King.

As the absolute protagonist of today's banquet, Andrew has been busy talking to the nobles everywhere, taking care of their emotions, and pulling in their relationships, without any free time. Fortunately, he had expected this, and let Queen Carol go back to rest early, so as to avoid the fatigue of the pregnant woman. When he saw Feige coming, he beckoned him like a treasure, and directly asked Feige to sit beside him, that is, the vacated position vacated by Carol. Therefore, whether it was the king and the court advisers discussing state affairs, or the two brothers chatting about family affairs, the others were very distracted from the thousands of bothering.

"Why did you just come here? My head is going to explode. How many nobles have I seen today? There must be 300 of them...... I knew it was a king's duty, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring. ”

"More tired than the paladin's training?" Feige didn't mean sympathy at all, just took out the "Harvest Horn" and handed it to him, no matter what drink was put in it, drinking it would lift his spirit and restore his strength.

"Don't try to take it, it's something I've gotten so hard, and I'm going to do physical training next, and I need it more than you. Feige looked left and right, and then said, "Andrew, I'm not here to give you a chance to relax, but to keep you busy." Gresham went to look for me just now, did you see that?"

"See, but you called him over, right?" Andrew drank a little light fruit wine with the horn of the harvest, and his spirit really recovered a lot. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked at Feige with pale blue eyes, "The church is a headache. Lighthouse Collar is a nice place, but it's not so necessary for the United Kingdom. I can give it up, but I have just put down the rebellion in the name of maintaining the unity of the kingdom, and it is impossible to divide a piece of land at this time. ”

"What do the rest of the Inner Court say?"

"Most of the opinions are dragging on, anyway, the church is just louder, but there will be no action. ”

"It's not a mistake to drag it out, but ......" Feige shook his head: "It's not bad if it's not wrong, and it's not good." The fact that the Church now has an archbishop of that character shows that many things have changed, and we can no longer look at them in the same way as before. My advice is not to procrastinate, and to give the church a solution. ”

"What do you mean......"

"You give up the Lighthouse Lord, and then offer the church a few new lords to choose from, and ask them to approve it. Until they approve it, you continue to perform your duties as a temporary vicarious. And the leaders you propose must be trusted and capable of them, so that after the church approves them, the lighthouse leaders will still be under your control. ”

"I've thought about it too, but according to intelligence adviser Maxess, the new archbishop never compromises. If this suggestion is directly given to him, and he refuses, then the kingdom's side will also lose room for maneuver at the same time. It will be very troublesome in that situation, so it is better to drag it out like this now. ”

"You have just ascended the throne and are a new king, and Don de Mip is the newly appointed archbishop, and both of you need to quickly establish your authority. Once you choose to delay, then the archbishop will be relatively stronger, and he will be aggressive in the future......"

When he said this, the intelligence advisor next to him, Maxers, leaned over with his head down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Feiqi, there are many people here, and I may not be the only one who can read lips." ”

"You're quite right. Feige picked up his staff and struck the ground twice, using illusion to surround the three of them. Maxes took two steps back, and saw that Feige and Andrew were eating and drinking, completely without saying a word. And he walked in, and His Majesty was listening to Feige speak his reasoning. Maxus shook his head, muttered, "The spell is amazing," and leaned over to listen to what Feige had to say.

"Suppose a scenario," Feige said, recalling events in Earth's history, "both sides are very imposing, both claiming that they will not give a single step, and the situation is very stalemate. At this time, what will happen to one side if it moves and prepares for the most serious scenario of complete hostility between the two sides?"

"The other party can do the same, isn't this still a stalemate?"

"No, there are some differences. I have to say that Mr. Feige's idea is very wonderful. Maxhers's eyes lit up, and he continued: "I'll try to analyze it: two people shouting at each other, so shouting first and then shouting actually doesn't have much effect." But those who start to prepare for action have a practical advantage over those who prepare later—and this practical advantage is not something that can be shouted or not. It's a good way to get a head start, but what's next?"

"Since it's up to us to prepare, then the time control is on our side. Draw a dead line and clearly tell the other party that once this date has passed, it is considered that the other party has chosen the worst ending. At the same time, the intimidation should be louder and the consequences of the disaster can be said in a slightly exaggerated way. Disaster preparedness, drawing a dead line, and a lot of propaganda are all indispensable. ”

"It's a very interesting combination. Faced with this situation, put himself in Donde's shoes, he immediately lost the position he was best at, and was left to fight and lose at a disadvantage, or back down and start negotiations. Your Majesty, I think this is what Lord Feige is doing, and a better plan than putting it off. ”

"Then we will discuss it at the next Inner Court meeting, and prepare the list of candidates for the next lord of the Lighthouse Lord. Andrew said, "Mercers, you go and prepare for the propaganda at the Exemplary Collar and the Holy Trinity Castle. But don't start yet, wait for the inner court to agree and decide. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Messers bowed down and walked out of the illusion protection circle, and Andrew sighed and said to Feige, "This is a headache for me, and I am the one who does not want to conflict with the church. ”

"I can understand that. "If possible, I don't want to get into a conflict with anyone, including the priest named Al during the day. The first time I saw him, I didn't have a grudge or a grudge before, so why fight for life and death?"

"But there's always something to come by...... Andrew said.

"That's right, things will come to you. Feige shook his fingers, and tiny arbitrary doors the size of rings continued to emerge and die on his fingertips. "Trust me, even if something comes to my door, I'm probably the easiest person to dodge. But on the other hand, these troublesome things don't go away because I'm hiding, they only get more tricky because I don't have them. I'm not boasting that I'm smart, but I'm really smart. ”

"And boasting about yourself? I kind of have seen it. ”

"I'm not saying I'm smart in every way, only in areas where I think I'm stronger. This matter is only known to you: once you see that I don't say anything, you know that I don't understand at all, and I can't come up with a good solution, so I can only pretend to be deep in silence there. ”

"Okay, I promise not to say it, except for Carol. Andrew smiled slightly and said, "Feiqi, I want you to be the lord of the Lighthouse Lord, what do you think?"

"I've spun around and thrown me back to the model leader, do you have any plans other than not wanting to see me?"

"I thought carefully about what you had just done, and suddenly I felt that you were the most suitable person. You are my brother first and foremost, and the United Kingdom cannot say that you have lost your territory by letting you become this lord. And you're a saint, and the church can't say you're unqualified, right? unless they want to put the whole model priest and paladins to shame. And you've been the chief advisor to Minas Ishir, and you're both capable of building roads and potatoes, and you're no stranger to your name by the people of the Lighthouse Territory. Regardless of whether or not the church ultimately approves the request, at least it leaves the church with no choice. ”

"Then you have to promise me, even if the church agrees to this, I will not go to the lighthouse to become a lord, at most a name. Feige immediately said, "The current situation, the kingdom side is now more important, and the role it can play is greater—and I can't sit idly by and watch you be a sighing and tired king here." ”

"I won't really drive you to the lighthouse. Andrew thought for a moment and suddenly laughed: "What are we talking about? The church hasn't received the letter yet, let alone responded, what do we want to do so far?"

"It's ...... too," Feige replied with a smile, scratching his head.

Although he said that he didn't need to think so far, how could Fei Qi not think farther? The fragments of the goddess had already begun to appear, flickering and even becoming new gods, which showed that the Yongli Continent had entered a new historical stage. The time of only one god has passed, and the new gods and the gods who threaten this continent are not gods who think about the vast number of living beings and can sacrifice themselves like Truth Thunder.

In the midst of this turmoil, Feige struggled to be a chess player, not a pawn at the mercy of others - for now, it seems that he has succeeded, at least he has been able to decide the direction of the game, and even the new god of flicker does not dare to mess with him. Next, Fei Qi will continue to advance his plan, use the devil as a pawn to completely disrupt the formation of the second world, and seize the time to consolidate the power on his side. During this period, the Divine Crystal served as the focus of the gods competing with each other, and also entered Feiqi's field of vision.

Regarding the Divine Crystal, Feige felt that Flare had already said something crucial enough under his inducement: the crystal had no tendencies, it was just some power that had not been exerted. Tendentiousness, the outer planes have tendencies, such as the hell of order and evil, the abyss of chaos and evil, and the upper planes of all kinds of goodness. The elemental world also has a tendency, but judging from the performance of the users of crystal clusters, it is not related to water, fire, electricity, and acid, so it cannot be elemental tendency.

The absence of tendencies means that there is no good or evil or disorder, that is basically certain. If we consider that crystals are related to divinity, then is faith also a tendency? Fei Qi calmly analyzed, treating the people of the Yongli Continent as high gods, as high-level creatures, and weighed them on the scales with mortals. If you add in the belief inclination, then there is only one possible source of energy in the crystal: the soul.

The return of the soul to the planes and the conversion of the soul into the praying is a manifestation of tendency, and the return of the soul to the kingdom of God is also a manifestation of tendency. Then the second half of the sentence "it is just some power that has not been exerted" refers to the residual power of the soul.

Squeezing the power out of the soul is something the devil is very good at, and Spirit Coins are the product of this process. Of course, Spirit Coins are evil and orderly, and basically only hell will produce this kind of thing, but it is not excluded that other worlds will have similar things. Thinking of this, Fei Qi suddenly had a strange idea: since the soul is still valuable after death, and can become a merger to be squeezed out of power, and even drive the evil demon to continue to work for tens of millions of years, then why doesn't the soul exert all these powers when it is alive?

Is being alive equal to being inefficient and wasteful?

The soul is the driving force that changes the world, and Fitch believes in that. A human can live for decades (according to the population of Yongli Continent), and after death—assuming that the soul is taken away by the contract demon—he goes to hell to do the same work with the body of an inferior demon (and has to be whipped countless more), but can it last for 10,000 years?

"Wouldn't it be nice to let the power of the soul be used as fully as possible while a person is alive?"

"How to dig and make good use of it?"

"It should be that the faster the world develops and changes greater, the more its soul will be used, right?"

"How did the earth develop? Why hasn't the Yongli Continent made progress for thousands of years? What did the devil of hell do in the bloody war for tens of thousands of years?"

"What did God do, what did God get?" Feich's face darkened, and he sighed deeply, "Tendencies are only the cause of contention, and the power that cannot be fully exerted is the goal." The soul is God's ultimate answer. ”
