The person who knocked on the door was a monk who was working beside Priest Vincent, and after Li Fang asked what he meant, he went straight to the carriage with him.

The young monk who led the way said very little, and after getting out of the car and leading the way to the holy shrine, he stopped and motioned for Li Fang to go in alone.

Priest Vincent has something to talk to me about?

Li Fang looked around and noticed that there were not even soldiers on duty outside the shrine today.

The sound of footsteps echoed slightly in the empty environment, and the light shone through the stained glass overhead, and Li Fang soon saw the figure on the other side facing him, standing next to a pair of sarcophagi with his eyes closed and chanting.

Vincent...... Priests. Li Fang paused and pursed his lips.

"You're here." Vincent paused to chant silently, turned sideways and looked up with a smile on his face, "No surprise, although I have been elected as the next archbishop, there is still a lot of work to do to officially succeed to the throne. At least we just had a saint. ”

"Well, but it's a bit restrained to talk here," Li Fang nodded, looking around at the sarcophagi neatly arranged under the towering roof, which were all sleeping important figures of the Church, "There is an illusion of being watched by great people. ”

"Young people don't always like it, and Candace doesn't like it either."

Hearing this, Li Fang looked at Vincent with some sensitivity: "So there is something you don't want her to know?" ”

"No, no, you're mistaken." Vincent waved his hand, his wrist brushing over a patch of sunlight cast through the stained glass, and a few gold threads sewn into the pure white cuffs, glittering in the sunlight.

"It's just a matter of what she's always disliked." Vincent said, his gaze falling to the brand-new sarcophagus beside him, "Archbishop Gamori's plan. ”

"Build a nation?" Li Fang frowned and added.

"Yes, but not the build, but how it was implemented." Vincent sighed and continued, "To make a long story short, after realizing how backward and ignorant we are, I realized that the church needs to change a lot in light of the current situation, and we, who are supposed to be single-mindedly thinking about how to better serve the gods, have a big disagreement because of this. ”

"On a few occasions, I even had the idea of getting Candace to change their minds," Vincent said, bowing his head penitentially to the statue of the twin goddesses on the wall, "but I know that the child is very reluctant to do anything to forcibly change the minds of others, because it would make her look to the people around her...... It became terrifying. ”

"So I compromised with them, and Archbishop Gamori's plan for statehood continued after my succession, in accordance with the wishes of many people," Vincent's words revealed a sense of helplessness, "and as far as we can gather, a country needs not only many nobles to serve as officials, but also a strong enough king." ”

This...... That's a little bit informative!

Even if he was already a little mentally prepared, Li Fang couldn't help but tense his face and carefully recalled the deep meaning.

Priest Vincent was a Reformer in the church. Reading about religion on another continent, and the recent explosion of the Church's acceptance of the greatsword's power and Luciella's fortunes, he felt the need for reform.

And this will touches the interests of the conservative forces within the church? Or there is also a simple antipathy, and then there is Priest Vincent's own unwillingness to continue Archbishop Gamori's plan for the founding of the country, so by now Candace has quickly become a saint, but he himself has not succeeded the archbishop.

Li Fang pressed his temple with his right hand, recalling that yesterday when Gegu was drinking, he also hinted at the undercurrent surging within the church, and further determined that the nobles of Rapoll were also involved.

If the state is really established, these nobles, who were originally only symbolic and can be replaced by whoever has money, can really solidify into the ruling class.

Archbishop Gamori's plan for statehood should have passed the preparatory phase.

The exclamation in Li Fang's heart was about to overflow, which meant that their distribution of interests and specific action plans should be available...... It is no wonder that since the death of Archbishop Gamori, Priest Vincent has not been succeeded and compromised in less than a month.

Last point, Priest Vincent said they needed a king?

Li Fang hid his quietly clenched hand behind his back, he could grasp what Archbishop Gamori might mean, but this question was really difficult to decide.

In comparison, Li Fang preferred to know another question.

"They want to establish a state, so that Miriya and the others will destroy all those who oppose it in this land?"

Vincent nodded slightly: "It is very likely, after all, Rapoll's regular soldiers are only a few hundred people, and they do not hesitate to invest up to 10,000 people, and it is difficult to use this force to start a war in the north and south." ”

"But it's easy with the greatswords." Li Fang's tone sank, as if he had thought of Miriya and the others breaking with the church and falling into the situation of the silver-eyed witch again.

Vincent noticed Li Fang's expression, and then changed his serious expression and said, "If the king is willing to give an order, I think there is still room for adjustment in this matter." ”

"Think about it, if Cyril or other nobles win in the end, that kind of king will indeed have to be subject to a lot of constraints, but Li Fang, you are different." There was a hint of excitement in Vincent's tone, "You are a person with extraordinary abilities, I know that your strength is not much worse than that of ordinary greatswords, and you were not greedy for the power of the greatswords, and chose to bring them back to the church, nor did you fall after having a lot of wealth. Captain Miria, they are naturally close to and trust you, and even the person next to you, Annabelle, is not an ordinary person. ”

"Wait, in fact, the reason why I chose to bring Miria and them to Rapoll in the first place was just to find a place for them, and I didn't do as well as Miria than to be their leader, and secondly, I wanted to be their friend." Li Fang felt that his scalp was numb from Vincent's words, and he quickly interrupted to sort out his thoughts.

"As for Anna's matter, I am very grateful for your willingness to be considerate and tolerant."

When Li Fang confessed to Gegu and the church about the existence of Ricarudo and Octavia, he had the intention of testing the church's attitude towards the "controllable" awakened, but now it seems that the church is suspicious of Anna.

Li Fang's thoughts raced, thinking that perhaps the last time Rapoll was attacked by the army of the Awakened, Anna rushed back with them in the Awakened Body, the church was suspicious.

Vincent smiled bitterly at what Li Fang said, and said: "The church can't actually deal with it at all, goddess bless, you and Annabelle have good intentions towards Rapoll and the church." ”

"Until now, the only extraordinary power that really belongs to the church is Candace, and the strength of her power is also related to you. I can only promise that I will continue to provide generous treatment to the great swordsmen, and you will have a lot of influence among them. In Rapolle's aristocratic circles, you have Conrad, you have Gegu. So I want you to stand up and unite all the power of Rapoll, at least after all these years, I believe you are a better choice than those nobles. ”

The dust floating in the air seemed to be extremely heavy at the moment, and the silence returned to the solemn shrine.

The hand behind his back was clenched tightly, but Li Fang still didn't dare to respond easily.

“…… It's not something I can say to when my head is hot, let me think about it for a few more days. Vincent's words made Li Fang feel unreal in his heart, there was no one who could be discussed, and he didn't want to decide right away even if he was already moved.

"Well, of course you have the freedom of choice." Vincent saw Li Fang's vacillation, and finally made up his mind, at least Li Fang was not a desireless person in front of him.

Meeting a young man like Li Fang, who is not greedy for power and money, really surprised Vincent, who has read countless people.

After a brief farewell, Li Fang was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard Vincent's words behind him.

"By the way, if you have time, go see the Candace kid, don't you have an agreement to increase adaptability?"
