XXIII. The Court of God and the King
Li Qi pretended to be stupid: "Sir, I don't understand what you said, why do you want me to persuade the church to refuse to be loyal to the Holy Court? Isn't the Holy Court the official church of the kingdom?"
Thankfully, Tarrens advised him not to reveal his papal identity, and the temple was only a branch, leading outsiders to think that the Crimson Lady's church had more power. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Viscount Prell, you are much smarter than your father......"
Sir McGore shook his head: "But it is not enough to have a mind, you must also have eyes that are enough to see the situation clearly." ”
He also pointed to the hall: "The Viscount has been wandering outside, and it seems that he doesn't like such things as much as I do. ”
I really don't like it, if he was thrown directly into the hall by the goddess, he would think that he had run into the sacrifice site of the evil god.
"I'm not an ascetic," Richie sighed, "and I don't feel the right to interfere with other people's occasional profligacy. But I saw some ...... just now Something that is unethical, is that okay?"
"Your Excellency the Viscount is so young and innocent," said Sir McGowell, sneering, "don't you know that this is the sacrificial rite of the Lady of Joy? ”
Pleasing the gods?Lady Joy's faith has degenerated to such a degree?
Li Qi was puzzled: "Lady Huanyue still has the priesthood of love, right?
"The Viscount also believes in love, and it seems that we have more of a common language. ”
Viscount McGore's gloomy countenance softened slightly: "Before...... At least a few hundred years ago, Lady Huanyue's banquet was not like this. ”
"At that time, the guests were like you, the Viscount...... Simplicity. Everyone gathers around the fire or campfire, and the women talk about the family and dress up. Men boast of how capable they are, how virtuous their wives are, and how wise their children are. Everyone was drunk and held hands and danced the harvest dance. ”
"The most anticipated part of the banquet is that in the middle of the night, the boys and girls will confess to each other to see who can get the kiss of the person they like. ”
That's right, that's how Li Qi looked forward to the banquet before.
"Why is this happening?"
Richie's questioning did not make McGore impatient, and he also sighed: "Yes, no one thought that Ms. Huanyue's faith would be distorted like this. ”
"Just like the Viscount you said about love, the goddess of love, Tenevi, fell in the divine war a thousand years ago, and her priesthood was divided among others. Lady Joy shared the 'pleasure of love', which was initially very holy. ”
"Lady Joy, together with the goddess of life and the goddess of dawn, spread the happiness of love, marriage, family, and the desire to reproduce to the whole world, so that people can stand up again on the ruins of the turn of epochs and divine wars, and Finn is also rejuvenated. ”
In a spicy sarcastic tone, he said, "Now, Lady Huanyue is more and more like a chaste lady." ”
Lady Chaste had fallen in the last era, but her fame transcended the epoch and is still talked about today because of her fall.
Originally ascended to the throne as a virgin and patron saint of purity, her faith was gradually distorted into "purity of heart" over time. As for the flesh, it is just a skin, no matter how much you take drugs and sell meat, as long as you believe in a chaste lady, you are still a good girl......
Lady Chaste left behind a copy of the "Pink Book", just like the "Room-Zhongshu" on the other side of the earth, with a scientific and pious attitude on how to maintain the "purity" of the soul in all kinds of carnal desires, and it is this book that makes Fin's gentlemen unforgettable for Lady Chaste.
Richie was a little surprised: "Sir, do you mean that Lady Huanyue has fallen?"
"Isn't this an obvious fact? Not only Lady Huanyue, but the entire Loyal Divine Court has fallen! Viscount, you are in Erxiang, don't you feel this?"
Sir McGore's determined expression made Richie feel that his role was misplaced, and that the second chamberlain of the king was more like a revolutionary than himself.
"Fragrance ......"
Li Qi struggled to recall, and found that the impression of the original owner was that he was in a paradise of luxury, and he was a country boy who could only look up.
"Erika is just one side, here in the kingdom, the Loyalty Divine Court is not only a matter of its own depravity, but also corrupting the entire kingdom. ”
McGore seems to have a heart set on Richie: "Look at those people, see what they have in common, I mean identity." ”
The banquet was attended by two groups of people, one was the secular aristocracy and the other was the clergy of the church, and what they had in common was ......
No, there are no two types of people!
Li Qi suddenly realized that there is only one type of person here, nobles!
Countess of Behemia, the Holy Lady of Grace.
Issus Mordwin, High Priestess of the Goddess of Literature and Art.
His neighbor, Baron Deswang, was the knightly mentor of the knightly god Shuma.
The Baroness is a priest to the god of music.
Deswann's sister, Lena, was a priest of the noble goddess.
Lena's husband is a paladin of the god of protection, Kem.
All the guests attending the banquet were either secular nobles or nobles who held the clergy of the Church.
"The viscount should understand that the loyal divine court of the kingdom and the nobles of the kingdom are intertwined and have become one. ”
Sir McGowell looked left and right, his voice lowered, but his tone became eager: "Viscount, you are still young, and you have been away from the kingdom for too long, and you don't know what is going on in the kingdom. ”
Yo, who said the same thing just now......
"You have seen the absurdity-lewdness and extravagance of the aristocracy, and on the other side is the oppression of the people, the predators of the people, and in the north of the kingdom, there have been people who have risen up. The king wanted to alleviate the suffering of the people and benefit the people, but he was struggling under the control of the divine court. ”
"Your Excellency, if you take refuge in the Divine Court, don't expect to be able to hold on to your faith, let alone survive this turbid current of depravity. ”
Sir McGore said fervently, as if he were a revolutionary comrade: "You are a little lord in the backwoods, I am a concubine who has been ostracized by my family, and we are all objects of oppression by the court of God." Join the King's command and become the King's sword to sweep away the darkness!"
At that moment, Li Qi thought he had found an organization.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be eager and said, "The actions of the Divine Court really worry me, if I can do something for the kingdom, of course I am duty-bound." What do you want me to do with what Sir just mentioned?"
"Hahaha......"
McGore burst out laughing, "I'm just kidding. ”
His face instantly became gloomy: "Except for the forbearance of the debt period, the Viscount doesn't have to take anything else." ”
The ghost is not real!
Li Qi secretly said that he estimated that his acting skills were not at home, this guy didn't believe himself at all, and shrank back after a tentative.
"One last thing I want to mention, it's serious......"
McGore said: "If the viscount is willing to join the royal family, the king can forgive this debt and keep your fiefdom, of course, nominally, only for a fixed annuity." ”
When a colt!?
A goddess, not the tease of the goddess of revolution, is the perfect woman in the memory of the original owner flashed in Li Qi's mind, and instantly ignited the hormone reactor in his body.
Princess Theresia!
When I was a child, I admired this beautiful and generous princess, and in the kingdom of Hadran, everyone said that the countess was the best lover, and Princess Theresia was the best wife.
If you can marry this princess, the great cause of the revolution can be considered in the long run.
Richie's expression was too stark, and McGore corrected with pity: "It's Princess Catherine." ”
Li Qi's face froze, and the princess who had pus on her face and sores had to put on a layer of iron armor all day long?
No matter how good the acting is, it's useless, it's a very serious insult.
Li Qipi said with a smile: "I will prepare five thousand gold bushels as soon as possible, how dare the king's money be owed all the time?"
"Your Excellency, there is no need to be in a hurry to refuse immediately. ”
Sir McGore said meaningfully: "This money can be regarded as a debt, or as an opportunity to obtain the goodwill of His Majesty, which is a very rare opportunity. ”
"I should still have time, right?" said Richie, who said to himself, that you were picking up the joke again.
"Of course," Sir McGowell nodded, and then said nothing more, and went straight away.
Looking at Sir McGore's back, Richie sighed.
I thought that if the temple was built and the banquet was held, the situation would be clear, but I didn't expect to face the choice of standing in line again.
Fortunately, both the Divine Court and the King should still be observing the Church, and it is unlikely that they will make a big news about him in the short term.
