"Earl, you're really well informed."

Facing the fierce Salk, Moriarty just smiled lightly and let the other party grab his neckline.

"Humph! The transport team of Rheinberg had only come to Windsor twice, and they had already bewitched a large number of people to believe in the 'god of purification'. Don't tell me, it's not something stupid you've made!? ”

Looking at someone with a senseless face, although Count Salk hated itchy, he couldn't take it seriously, so he had to snort coldly and throw it back on the sofa.

"I did, but it's not stupid."

Moriarty smoothed the folds on his chest and said.

"And you say it's not stupid!? Even if you are a Grand Arcanist, if you dare to put your hand into this circle, you will only end up ruined and ruined! I don't want to see both Matil and little Augustus suffer from you! ”

Staring at Moriarty closely, Count Salk said sternly.

Being in a high military and political position in the kingdom, it is natural that he deeply understands how sensitive and hot "religion" is in Erathia. Not to mention the current resurgence of the Church of Light, which makes the whole situation even more complicated and dangerous. Ordinary people are afraid to hide, but the guy in front of him dares to set up another religion by himself, which is really bold!

"Nothing, Count, nothing."

Moriarty shook his head, asked the old man to sit down first, and then moved out the set of things he had said he had said he had with Bruno.

"It is precisely because of the intention of the Church of Light to make a comeback that I have managed to create such a 'Purification Church'. It does not rely on divine power or force, but only uses worldly wealth as a lever to drive ordinary people to move closer to each other, reducing and destroying the soil in which the Church of Light can grow. Of course, the nobles also had to pay a little price and give some benefits to the farmers and commoners, but it was insignificant compared to the damage and losses that the Church of Light could cause. ”

The other party is also the superior. Therefore, Moriarty focused on explaining his ideas from the standpoint of the aristocracy.

"Strong words! With the 'Purifying Church', can we prevent the infiltration of the Church of Light? ”

The Count stared, evidently unconvinced.

"It's not perfect, but it's also outstanding. Especially when used in conjunction with 'armor protection'. ”

"Armor?"

It was the first time Count Salk had heard such a statement, and he wondered.

"Protecting the armor is to sit together. There is no need to talk about it in the castle. In every village and town, church believers are the backbone and form one or several collectives to supervise and report each other. Whenever there is a Cult of Light or someone joins it, it is considered an infidel and must be severely punished, confiscated from property, and reduced to slavery. Whistleblowers can be rewarded with one-third of the amount confiscated. However, if no one reports it or deliberately conceals it, once discovered, not only the infidels will be severely punished, but the rest of the armor guards will also be severely punished. ”

No hurry, no delay. Moriarty said slowly.

As the Count listened, his face sank, and his eyes turned cold.

The so-called armor protection is to bind and coerce each other, so that all villages and towns have become cages without prison cells, and everyone is trapped in them without freedom, and they still need to be vigilant against each other from time to time, so that there is no trust and cohesion among the people. In this way, the aristocracy can sit high and sit back and relax.

"Your 'armor protection method' is indeed sharp. It's a good idea, and the nobles will like it. But now that there is armor. There is no need for a church to exist. ”

After pondering for a long time, the earl had to admit that "armor protection" was indeed a great "good policy" to stabilize the rule of the kingdom in the future, which was simple and easy to implement but could completely restrain the people, and it was indeed good and good from the perspective of the nobility. But for "purification", Salk is still very disgusted.

"No, it's because of the sharpness of 'armor'. It needs to be led by the church. In this regard, Moriarty has also been prepared for a long time: "First, to appease people's hearts and not make the people resentful too much, and second, simple armor protection cannot isolate the infiltration and erosion of the Church of Light." You know the steadfastness and zeal of true believers, and it is not simply death and poverty that can be coerced. ”

“… It seems that you have made up your mind to deal with the Church of Light, so you are not afraid of the other party's retaliation? ”

Glued to Moriarty's eyes. The Count laughed suddenly, but with a chill in his laughter.

"Revenge? Hehe. Moriarty also smiled lightly: "The Church of Light only came to Windsor not long ago to 'visit', is that also out of revenge?" ”

"This..."

"Earl, you and I both know that there is no possibility for the nobles and the Church of Light to coexist. The hatred between the two sides has accumulated too much and too deep, and it is afraid that the world will be destroyed, and it will not be eliminated. In that case, why should I not do it first? ”

Moriarty spoke eloquently, and his position was so upright that for a moment the count did not know what to say.

"If you want to do such a thing, and if you want to be 'big', you must first get the approval of the royal capital."

Thinking about it, Count Salk finally sighed and said helplessly.

"It's nature. But Her Majesty would not object to it. ”

Moriarty nodded, his expression indifferent.

A few days later, when the Augustus moon was full, a grand banquet was held in Windsor Castle to celebrate this "lady of the sky".

Including the semi-retired Viscount Maclelen, the nobles of Kent were all present to congratulate him, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic. At the beginning of the banquet, Moriarty announced in front of all the guests that his eldest son, Augustus, was the sole heir to Rhineberg and Olympus.

Hearing this, all the nobles immediately exclaimed, and then applauded.

With Augustus as the "cornerstone", the "Windsor-Rhine Alliance" was officially established, and it really entered the political arena of Erathia. It is conceivable that this infant baby in front of him will become the absolute leader of Kent in the future, and may even take the tenth marquis crown of the kingdom.

Faced with this situation, the political consciousness in Kent was finally fully united. Even if there was anything to hide in the past, it no longer exists at this moment.

An earl, plus a Grand Arcanist and an actual viscount, is a force that is of great importance not only in Kent, but in all of Erathia, and even Her Majesty must be courteous.

As a result, the banquet of the day was high and high, and the joy was dispersed.

Two days after the feast, the Queen's messenger finally arrived at Windsor Castle.

But unexpectedly, there were two envoys of tied status in the visiting procession, namely: Prince Haibo and Princess Betita. As for the accompanying captain of the guard, he was the deputy head of the Royal Family's Guards Legion, the fourteenth level of the Templar, the "Golden Griffon" Keynes.

In the face of such a lineup, even the Earl of Salk, who had been prepared for a long time, was taken aback.

And the appearance of the two envoys shows a lot of intriguing things. (To be continued.) )
