"My ideal country, and the ideal country of all mortals. ”

The Empress continued, mixed with something that Baudouin did not quite understand, which made the Archbishop of the North terrified, and he did not know if he was qualified to hear the Empress speak to herself.

"I've seen another world, albeit just ...... The projections he created to convince me, all of which were shown to foreshadow his beliefs, but I found something in common between the two worlds. ”

"In a world where there is no supernatural power, every change in the productive forces destroys the relations of production, so there is constant turmoil. Just because of the change in productivity caused by a steam engine, that world has changed beyond all eras in a hundred years. And in our world, even an apprentice magician can make the same thing. ”

"It is also because they can only rely on the barren basic laws that the mortals there have given birth to extraordinary wisdom, both the wisdom of accurately measuring the world and finding the truth of the world, and the wisdom of how mortals should get along with each other, which is indeed admirable. ”

But even in the age of what they call scientific enlightenment, nothing has changed in the hearts of mortals. The vast majority of mortals have unusually weak hearts, and the mere test between life and death will make them close their hearts and indulge in the faint, worthless stimuli of that test. Only a very small number of people can rely on faith and wisdom to break through all kinds of shackles, take the road of sublimation, and become heroes and leaders of all eras. ”

"What does this mean? It shows that the vast majority of mortals have a limit to their spiritual growth, which is no different from the mortals of the world of Fein. In our place, mortals do gain extraordinary power because of their faith, but even if we give us a good education, the vast majority of mortals will be able to obtain a crippled divine skill in their lifetime, that is, become a zero-level transcendent, which is already their limit. ”

"Not every soul has enough strength to stand firm in the right path in the midst of distractions, not enough wisdom to comprehend the right path of faith through words and words, and not every soul has enough will to resist the mortal nature of greed, laziness, and cowardice, and to persevere in the practice of faith and thus gain strength. ”

"Because of the weakness and cripple of the heart, the mortals of that world behave even more depraved than the mortals of our Finn's world. Eighty percent of mortals believe in nothing, omniscient and all-powerful gods, and there is endless strife depending on the sect to which they belong. In fact, most people just use faith as a tool for profit, and then give birth to evildoers who use these beliefs to sow discord and achieve evil goals, and they are no different from the devils of Finn's world. ”

"On the other hand, for most mortals who are not religious in their faith, they chase after those mirage idols...... Oh, there's movies and television, and there are clowns who sing, dance, and even amuse, and the fanaticism is stronger than the belief in the gods. They would rather spend a month's earnings to go to a concert than go to church to pray. ”

"Yes, that world is ruled by money, and the mortals there are eroded by money. This confirms my previous wariness of the temple of commerce. The mortals there are suffering, just like the mortals of the world of Finn. ”

"What are they calling for? are they calling for the cosmopolitanism, ultimate freedom, and total liberation that Li Qi and Xiaohong are talking about?"

"No, those things are shattered there. Even the remnants of the faith have split into numerous factions and are considered heretics by each other. At a time when money is becoming more and more embedded in every aspect of mortal life, becoming as natural as breathing, how can they have a future?

"On the contrary, the mortals there, like their ancestors thousands of years ago, are still calling for wise monarchs, for saints who have no faults, and even for true gods. If I could show my strength in that world, they would follow me without hesitation. ”

"Behold, even in that world, the first thought of mortals is to turn to the gods, for their minds are not autonomous, and it is not that I despise mortals, and it is so. ”

"The same is true for the mortals of Finn's world, and from this commonality, I am even more convinced that the only way to save the world from a terrible future is to return to tradition. ”

"If it were in that world, my idea would not hold. Because there is no supernatural power there, no stability can be maintained at every level. The slightest change in the productive forces will shake the relations of production. ”

"But this is the world of Fein, and we have seen that the traditional order has been in operation for tens of thousands of years, and the world has remained largely calm, which proves that the traditional order works. ”

"One of the reasons for the collapse is the natural change of epochs, which is an external reason that no one can avoid. The internal reason is that there is still no full use of the supernatural power to stabilize the traditional order, and there is no absolutely just and fair deity to preside over such an order. ”

"Over the years, the mortal instincts of greed, laziness, and cowardice have corrupted the state, the church, and the aristocracy, and this is the cause of the collapse of the traditional order, and the Divine Court of Allegiance is a living precedent. ”

Hearing this, Baudouin was a little relieved, the empress was indeed talking to herself, but she was also telling him with the experience of another world that she would not only revive the Church, but also play a role that no god had ever played before, and do something that no god had ever done before.

The Empress's tone became deeper, with a deep admiration.

"The philosophers of that world proposed the 'ideal state' thousands of years ago, which is an eternal truth that belongs to mortals. ”

"Philosopher-king, protector, patriot, producer, slave ......"

"Gold, Silver, Copper......"

"The soul of reason, the soul of will, the soul of desire, ......"

"Behold, isn't this exactly what suits us, and we have followed the traditional order of several epochs? It's just that we haven't done it well enough, and there are too many impurities in it, and we haven't seriously thought about what corrections need to be made to make this order more pure. ”

"Mortals can never be wise, only gods can be eternal, so it is only the gods who can be the philosopher-king. ”

"With an eternal and absolutely just god, the priests will always obey the will of the gods, serve the gods wholeheartedly, and rule over mortals. Warriors will fight bravely and not be afraid of sacrifice, and farmers, craftsmen, and merchants will be at peace. ”

"It is true that mortals have different bloodlines, but this bloodline is not the inheritance of power, but the inheritance of responsibility and glory. Therefore, the division of nobles, freemen, untouchables, and slaves helps people to recognize the starting point of their destiny. ”

"I also believe that all spirits are equal, but must be souls who embrace the eternal order, and that equality is only equality of opportunity. Everyone can communicate directly with the gods, who are eternal, omniscient, and absolutely just. ”

"Specific to individuals, the fate brought by the bloodline and soul level is not immutable, and faith can sublimate the bloodline and soul and change the fate. As long as everyone can face the gods, those noble souls who can overcome the inferiority of human nature will surely attain a new destiny. ”

Therefore, there are only two problems to the eternal order that we want to establish. ”

"One is how I, as a deity, am eternal, omniscient, and absolutely just. ”

"One is to ensure that mortals can always communicate directly with me, and will not be blocked by various internal and external forces. ”

"The lesson I learned in that world was that we could no longer sit back and wait for believers to work on their own, or indirectly through the church, as the gods did before, and we could solve this problem through supernatural powers. ”

Queen...... No, the goddess really has a new idea!

Baudouin was slightly disappointed, which meant that the Church that the Goddess was going to revive was completely different from the previous Church, and even if he could become a cardinal archbishop under the Pope, he would no longer have the power of the same role as before.

In addition to being disappointed, he was also a little curious, how would the goddess solve this problem?

"First of all, we have to set up churches by region, but the main responsibility of this church is to increase the size and rank of believers. ”

"In concrete ways, we must abandon the situation of the past where the church was decided by one person, and under me, everyone is equal. ”

"Of course apprentices and mentors are different ......"

The Empress outlined her idea, which to Baudouin was indeed a very novel system, more like a fusion of the various ecclesiastical and religious systems of the past.

The establishment of centralized ecclesiastical schools in each diocese and the selection of civilians for the training of clergy have already been carried out before, and now the system is only being carried out and refined.

On top of the church school, a mentor system was established, and each legend or hero-level clergyman was obliged to accept a number of strong-level apprentices and train them for promotion. Every time a hero or even a legend is cultivated, the goddess will bestow the corresponding divine grace as a resource to upgrade the level.

Once an apprentice is promoted, the mentor-apprentice relationship between the two is dissolved, and they have the same status in the church.

"In order to distinguish it from other types of gurus, the Gurus of Order changed their name and called ...... Master. ”

The Empress gave the proper title to this master-apprentice system: "The apprentice is called ...... Pedvan. ”

All the "masters" in each diocese form the "master oracle", and a number of masters are elected as rotating oracles of the oracle office, and collectively exercise the functions of the previous church. The Goddess appoints the bishop of each oracle and listens to all decisions they make regarding religious affairs as needed.

On top of the oracles of the dioceses, the goddess also had to establish the "supreme oracle" to replace the supreme authority of the previous church. In the High Oracle Chamber, there is only a cardinal at the first level, which is responsible for different areas of religious affairs, and there is no pope. The empress is the unity of man and God, and she is her own pope.

Weakening the hierarchy of the previous church and establishing an "oracle office" under the direct control of the goddess is all about allowing the clergy to face the goddess more equally.

Speaking about how to strengthen the communication between believers and the goddess with supernatural powers, the empress said: "I am already working on the transformation of the Divine Fire, so that I can listen to the prayers of the believers in the Divine Fire more precisely and carefully, and ensure that I do not miss the hearts of the believers. ”

Baudouin secretly sighed, even if the goddess was a powerful deity, it was impossible to listen to and respond to the prayers of every believer. As a deity, as long as you are completely focused on the perception of the deity's heart, mortals will be noticed when they mention the name of the deity, but only for a few words or a few seconds.

To hear the prayers of every believer, even a powerful deity will consume most of his strength. The goddess is a state of unity between man and god, doesn't she want mortal status anymore?

"I also know that this goal is very difficult, so in addition to improving the Divine Fire, some efforts need to be made at the mortal level," the Empress said, "I am very dissatisfied with the magic network right now, because the technical basis is magic, and magicians can easily block my perception and even cut off my connection with mortals. ”

"So I instructed Brynto to organize the Divine Guide Craftsmen and study the Divine Power Network of Order. The Internet is still very complicated, so I shouldn't be able to get it out for a while, but I can first make a special magic guide that makes it easier for the clergy of order to communicate with me. ”

Baudouin finally found an opportunity to echo: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Divine Emblem of Order that each of us has should be transformed into such a divine guide. Some gods have such a function in the emblem of their own deities, and we can learn from this technique. ”

Then he looked sad again: "Everyone can communicate with His Majesty through the Divine Emblem, which is of course a good thing." However, after all, the Divine Emblem is an external instrument, and if it is used by others, His Majesty may be badly affected in the Kingdom of God. ”

The empress said proudly: "Of course I have considered this problem, in addition to taking precautions in the divine guide technology, it is the basic duty of the oracle to check whether the divine emblem has been tampered with. In addition, I am the unity of man and God, I will always be on the main plane, and I will also keep abreast of the status of the divine emblem, so I don't have to worry about me...... Repeat. ”

The Empress complained about Kayla more than once in front of Baudouin and Brinto, the former members of the Loyal Court, and Baudouin had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the current goddess of order was not Theresia, but Keira Theresia.

The Empress's previous tirade was to pave the way for church reform, and Baudouin, who understood the Empress's determination, certainly had no objections.

Then the topic returned to the financial report that had just caused the empress a headache, and Baudouin understood that one of the queen's intentions in reforming the church was to use the church to gather people and use them to monetize resources, but he still didn't know the details of the operation.

He had to ask this question: "20,000 magic planes, 1,000 floating ships, including 100 prince-class and duke-class capital ships, such a huge scale, the amount of magic resources required is very amazing, most of them still have to be provided by magicians and magicians, what can the church do in this regard?"

The Empress was well aware of this......

"In the past, I abolished all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the church, including the tithing tax, the holy water tax, the blessing tax, and so on. Because these taxes are used by the church to squander themselves, and are not given to the gods. ”

"It's different now, our Holy War of Order is to defend the Empire and all mortals who wish to return to Order. The people of the Empire, including the magicians, must make offerings. ”

"So these taxes will be re-collected, but the name will change, for example...... Order tax, jihad tax. Of course, I will supervise the officials of the empire and make them fairer and more honest than in the past, and I am confident that I can do that. ”

"Regarding magic resources, soon after the establishment of the Empire, I issued a decree declaring that all mineral deposits in the Empire belong to the Empire, of course, this is only an excuse to collect taxes from the mine owners. ”

"Now that this decree is no longer an excuse, I will take back all the hidden mines in various places and hand them over to the departments directly under the Empire to be responsible for mining. ”

"I will control commercial activities more strictly, and by prohibiting the use of gold bushels in church affairs and supporting imperial gold coins, the temple of commerce will inevitably be weakened. ”

"There are many other strategies, and the role of the church is to set off a vigorous tide of faith in order, so that the followers of magicians and other gods can see what the people of the empire are, see the general trend, and realize how unwise it is to go against such a general trend. ”

Baudouin nodded hesitantly, but still asked cautiously: "Magician, and the Temple of Commerce will not be willing to be ...... like this Bondage, huh?"

The Empress looked at Baudouin and said with a faint smile, "Since the mages and the Temple of Commerce are so closely combined, what else do I have to worry about? It is impossible for them to seize power without gaining the faith of goodness and order that can be supported by the vast majority of mortals." In the face of power, the bourgeoisie is a dog without a backbone. ”

She looked up at the window, remembering something, and her tone became distant: "They will understand that it is only a question of how much freedom is here for me, and it is a question of whether there is freedom or not on the side of Li Qi." ”

Baudouin also looked out the window, Valentine was still expanding, and more and more people were converging on the city, which was full of life at a glance.

Baudouin said sincerely: "Your Majesty must be eternal, and the empire must be an ideal country in the minds of mortals." ”
