At the center of the farm town is a circular plaza with a three-story circular stone building in the center. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first floor of the small stone building is the farm's "government service center", where managers distribute materials and benefits, register points, and approve levels. The second floor is the archives, and the third floor is the office of the senior management, the current senior managers are Sebadian and Tarance.

Sebadian was outside arranging specific work, and in Tarence's office, the walls were already covered with scraps of paper, and the old man was still putting more scraps of paper on them.

Hearing footsteps, Tarence turned around and paused for a moment.

Li Qi was in front and Tina was behind, and both of them had flushed faces. Li Qi was elated and looked satisfied, while Tina was extremely shy, and her eyes seemed to be about to swing out.

"Uh, Viscount......"

For a moment, Tarence felt his faith waver slightly.

Looking at the two of them, could it be that they were outside just now...... Noai?

First Fini, then Tina, and the way Richie "purified" the witch was "like that", and he was a little suspicious that the goddess's priesthood also included that kind of thing?

But in addition to Fini's age, there is nothing wrong with you and me, and you don't engage in the tricks of the aristocracy.

Tarens thought it would be better to remind him a little, he coughed and said, "Viscount, it's better to do important things in a more secret place." ”

"Well, you did a good job!"

Li Qi thought that the old man was explaining why he didn't go to him, but asked him to come over, and looked at the intelligence wall with satisfaction.

Tarence opened his mouth, the joy on the boy's face was rare, and he decided not to disturb the Pope's good mood.

"The situation is like this......"

Tarence presented the information he had gathered in the past few days according to the kingdom's power structure.

The king is a line, and under the piece of paper on which the crown is drawn, is a line of names, and under each name a number of events are associated with it.

Princess Catherine is associated with the events of Conrad City......

The King's Chief Attendant, Grand Master of the Kingdom Knights, and the legendary Grand Knight Chief, Baron Nouma El, is associated with the operation of the remnants of the rebellious farmers in the north......

The King's second chamberlain, Sir McGowell, is associated with the employment records of the Adventurers' Guilds in the Royal Capital and several other cities......

The Night Lady Church, which has a shrine on the outskirts of the royal capital, is associated with records of the entry and exit of several people and goods......

The movements of the king's line are sneaky, and the details are rather vague. The line of loyalty to the Divine Court is much clearer, and most of the walls are filled with information from the Divine Court and various churches.

"Before, we only saw the contradiction between the divine court and the king, but now it seems that we have ignored the greater contradiction in the kingdom, that is, the contradiction within the divine court. ”

"Actually, the contradiction between these two factions has been there since the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be so big now," Tarence said. ”

The king's plot was not yet clear, but with the assurances of Familia and the support of Princess Theresia, Richie felt that it should not be the most imminent threat.

Famillia reminded that a great change in the kingdom was imminent, and Litch looked at it and couldn't figure it out. Now Tarence had roughly scanned the kingdom's situation through the underground channels, and suddenly saw a large black spot that he had ignored before.

The Kingdom Divine Court is divided into the "Headquarters Faction" and the "Kingdom Faction", and the two factions are already showing signs of incompatibility.

Li Qi had seen this in the Temple of Death, he thought it was an accident, but he didn't expect it to be just a wave.

Theresia would send herself to prison, in addition to comforting her conscience, but also with the intention of bridging the rift between the "headquarters faction" and the "kingdom faction".

Compared with her, the "moderate kingdom faction", what will happen to the "extreme kingdom faction" and the "headquarters faction" represented by Sylvie, Li Qi feels that it is very likely to be the source of the kingdom's storm in the coming period.

He is not very familiar with the historical evolution of the Loyal God Court, and he is not clear about the demands and strength of the two factions, but fortunately, there is the old Jianghu of Tarens.

"The Court of Loyalty was originally established together with the Tudor Empire, and the main god of the Court was Sif, the god of nobility. However, with the division of the Tudor Empire, the Divine Court also underwent many changes and gradually declined. The Church of the Guardian God, headquartered in Ika, replaced the Church of the Noble God, which was originally in the position of the main god, and established a new divine court. The independent kingdoms also needed the name of righteousness, so they cooperated with the new divine court, allowing the divine court to establish branches in the kingdom and reunite the faith of the loyal gods. ”

"For hundreds of years, the Loyal Divine Court has relied on the support of local branches to support the city of Fragrance. The kingdom also relied on the banner of loyalty to the divine court, consolidating its royal power and stabilizing the rule of the nobility. ”

Tarence narrated the history of the Loyal Divine Court, and after listening to it, Richie had a bottom in his heart.

In other words, the headquarters faction of the Divine Court is actually the church faction, and the kingdom faction is actually the aristocratic faction. ”

Even in Fain in the world of gods and demons, the laws of history still work, and Li Qi saw too many familiar figures in his previous life in the Divine Court.

"The viscount is right, the headquarters faction of the Divine Court includes two types of people, one is mainly high-level people, who want to continue to maintain their power, and there is a life in the fragrant flower and wine, and the branch is equivalent to a water canal, continuously conveying benefits to them. ”

As a former high-ranking member of the church, Tarrens's analysis of the Divine Court of Loyalty can be described as a bone to the core: "The other group is mostly middle-level and grass-roots backbones, all of whom are aspiring clergy. Like every pious and pure clergyman, they wanted the structure of the Divine Court to be tighter and the Church to be more commanding. Instead of being the way it is now, the Divine See, which is composed of many churches and has a division between local and headquarters, seems very scattered. ”

Li Qi nodded, and then said: "The Kingdom faction is simple, they are all nobles of the kingdom, and they want to continue the system of aristocratic division and maintain their rule. But there are two types of people in the Divine Court Headquarters, the first is to suck blood on them, and the second is to weaken or even cut off their rule over the kingdom. ”

Looking at this trend, there may be a Fein version of the Church of England angry with the Holy See in the future......

However, there are still differences, after all, with the presence of gods, the depth and dimension of the contradictions between the two sides will be much greater, and the room for maneuver in the conflict will be much larger. Moreover, the interests they compete for are not as simple as the earth world.

"In the Kingdom of Hadlang, the headquarters faction in the Kem Church is very powerful, and the Bishop of the Holy See, Rune, is also the cardinal high priest of the Kingdom Branch of the Kem Church. Although he is a member of the kingdom, everyone thinks that his position is biased towards the headquarters of Izuka. ”

"Other members of the divine court, such as the gods of nobility, knights, goddesses of literature and art, and other churches, can be counted as kingdom factions. These churches were founded by local aristocrats and had little to do with the incense. ”

"The headquarters of the Divine Court is almost the same as the headquarters of the Kem Church. The ultimate ideal of many headquarters factions is for the Kem church to absorb other churches, to establish a single big church, and to use the church to control the country or even the entire continent. But since the god of protection, Kem, couldn't start a godwar to kill his allies, they just thought about it. ”

When Tarence said this, Richie pouted: "Even if they kill the nobles and establish a church state, nothing will change. It's nothing more than replacing the nobles with priests, how the nobles ruled before, they are still the same. ”

He said disdainfully, "However, the priests are busy serving the gods, and the mundane affairs of the territory are not their specialty, so they can only entrust them to the attendants." Over time, the squires have become the new secular aristocracy, and this is not going to come back?"

"This ......"

Tarence couldn't keep up with Richie's train of thought, but he felt that asking "Is there any other way to rule?" would seem stupid at this point.

"But the power of the Headquarters faction is very strong, Bishop Rune will not say it, it is a legend. Most of the high-ranking clergy of the Kem Church are sent by the headquarters. The Holy Knights of the Church have more than 200 hero-level paladins, which are stronger than the Kingdom Knights, and more importantly, ......"

Tarence turned the subject to his familiar territory: "The Fragrant Kem Church is the most powerful force on the continent, and there are more than a dozen legends just announced. It also has close interests with the Federation of Businesses and the Federation of Mages. ”

He came to a very cautious conclusion: "I think it is unlikely that the Kingdom faction will openly turn against the headquarters faction." However, in some aspects of personnel and resources, some friction may occur. ”

Tarence made what he thought was a bold and feasible proposal, which was the "best policy" in the "Crimson Church's Short- and Medium-Term External Development Strategy" that he had prepared.

"We can find a way to catch the line of the headquarters faction, so that we can jump out of the whirlpool of the kingdom, and the headquarters of the Divine Court should also be happy to accept a newborn god. ”

Li Qi gave him a blank look: "And then he was thrown into the whirlpool as a chess piece?"

This kind of thing, just by looking at Chinese history, you can understand the political wisdom that high school students should have.

"Uh......"

After all, Tarence had only been at the top of a small church and had no experience with this kind of power struggle. As soon as Li Qi said that, he suddenly woke up, and a layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

That's right, the viscount really sees it thoroughly, and the best way to use it for outsiders sent to the door is to use it as a pawn for the charge.

It's just a teenager, just a little viscount......

Tarence looked at Richie's gaze with a hint of awe, and he hurriedly proposed the prepared "middle strategy": "Then our best choice is to join the Kingdom faction, with the Viscount's friendship with Princess Theresia, and our ongoing church propaganda through the countess, it should not be difficult for us to gain a relatively stable position in the Kingdom faction." ”

"Even if the Kingdom faction is suppressed by the headquarters faction, it is impossible for the headquarters faction to sweep away the kingdom faction, and we still have room to survive. Only after survival can we talk about development. ”

Richie stared at Tarence for a few seconds, making Talence a little hairy, before he heard him say, "Tarens, you are opportunistic. From the very beginning, we had to identify some of the most basic things. ”

"Whether it's a king, a divine court, a church, or a kingdom, these are all appearances. ”

He glanced at the scraps of paper on the wall and said to himself that these were enemies. It's just a matter of succession and proximity.

"In general terms, the question of who is a friend and who is an enemy must be clarified. ”

After clarifying this, we have to look at the whole Finn, what are the main contradictions, what are the secondary contradictions, and how the contradictions are transformed. Let's look at what are the main and secondary contradictions in the kingdom. ”

"The main contradiction determines our long-term strategy for the future, and being on the backward and decadent side of the main contradiction is our long-term enemy. The forces that seem to be hostile to us for the time being and cause us trouble, but which also have irreconcilable contradictions with the enemy in the main contradiction, are also objects that we can unite with. ”

Richie's words made a hurricane roll in Tarence's heart, and this is it!

After five lectures, four beauties and three loves, I finally heard this kind of strange words, but it contains the ultimate rationality and unfamiliar order!

"Tarrens, we are not in business, we are only seeking to grow and grow, we are to let the light of our Lord shine on the whole of Finn. We cannot plan our actions based on whether the next step is profitable or safe. ”

Richie's eyes twinkled with the familiar glint of Tarrens that had been there when he had established the first doctrine.

The old man vaguely guessed something, a little excited, and a little apprehensive: "However, the doctrine of my lord ......"

"That's right, Tarrens, we have a second doctrine that solves the question of who is a friend and who is an enemy. ”

Rich's joy comes from this, he has found another and most important stepping stone to bring everyone's faith to the revolution.

He said expectantly, "We'll have a ...... in the evening Life will. ”
