His Excellency Klein may be of small stature, but he is a giant of thought. He was keenly aware of the profound influence of faith on a person's mind, and he understood more deeply that the greatest power of the Church of the Lord of Radiance was not in the divine descent of the Lord of Radiance, not in the horror of judgment, not in the power of the Great Prophecy, not in the number of Holy Spirit priests, but in his huge faith that penetrated into the bottom of the mainland.

The belief of the Lord of Radiance, simple and straightforward, "believe in brilliance and be redeemed", clearly and clearly provides the people at the bottom of the entire continent with the spiritual sustenance they need the most, gives them a spiritual refuge to forget the suffering of reality and avoid the pain of reality, fundamentally grasps the hearts of the people at the bottom of the mainland, and lays an almost unshakable foundation of faith.

Because of the large number of believers, the pastors of the Radiant Church can always easily get the support of the people, can easily select children who are suitable for divine arts, and can easily form a deep-rooted and huge network at all levels of politics, economy, thought, faith, and society. Even if it is hit hard, it can quickly recover through a strong foundation of underlying faith.

Unlike other traditional mages who have been influenced by the education of classical mages since childhood, they believe that faith is a poison, a mental anesthetic, an obstacle to self-sublimation, and despise faith from the heart.

His Excellency Klein, who came from a humble background and experienced first-hand the pervasive and profound influence of faith on people, was in awe of the power of faith and thought.

He believed that if he wanted to shake the foundation of the Lord of Radiance's rule over the continent, he must first start from faith. After a long period of thought, he chose the entire belief in the ancient gods, which had been excluded and suppressed by the Radiant Church to the point of almost decline, and compiled all the teachings and myths of the ancient gods.

In it, he depicts a brighter and better future for ordinary people, believing that man can evolve into a god through practice, that man is the baby of God, that God is the future of man, that God is supreme and omnipotent, not only the father of creation, the father of gods, but also the father of mankind, who cares for people like a loving father and blesses mankind with the only truth in this world - magic.

And magic is the only way for man to lead to the trial of God, and mages are the forerunners of the human world, they are the sages who have embarked on the path to God, and they should be respected and respected by people as a matter of course.

The beautiful future depicted is not the kingdom of God in heaven, but the real paradise of man, a beautiful future in which everyone will become a god and mankind will evolve into a god-man.

His theory that everyone can become a god fundamentally denies the sanctity of the gods and provides a more tempting promise of heaven for the vast number of confused ordinary people. Naturally, he was greatly hostile and attacked by the Radiant Church, and he was declared an eternal enemy by the Church, calling it the incarnation of the ancient serpent that tempted mankind to fall, and the devil of desire who tested the faith of the Radiant believers.

In order to discredit the author, the Church of Radiance also spread countless rumors, saying that the "Apostle of Chaos" Crane is a puppet of the demons, a lewd pervert, he married his own teacher, and his own sister **, even his aunt and cousin do not let go, and he also likes to torture those poor women with all kinds of rope arts and props, and the degree of fornication is comparable to that of the tyrants of the ancient magic empire who are known for their debauchery.

Moreover, his tastes are quite mixed, men and women are not taboo, and he also likes to seduce men with women's clothes, and he is "a man for all women, a woman for all men".

These rumors are true or false, and even many arcanists in the Arcane Federation will be skeptical. In addition, he is famous for his wisdom in the Arcane Federation, is familiar with the darkness of politics, and is proficient in all kinds of small methods of power, although he looks like a harmless shy and weak person, but in fact, many of the ruthless and vicious strategies of the Arcane Federation come from his brain.

As a result, he is also privately referred to by the Arcanists as "Dark Sage", "Devil's Brain", "**Demon King", etc., and is regarded as one of the most dangerous figures in the Arcane Federation.

"Lord Cecilia, please explain your intentions!"

After the initial temptation, King Gusta unceremoniously asked directly: "Your Excellency Hamilton has sent a letter to me, and he has sent his most proud Grand Arcanists to the Northlands, it is not because he wants to enjoy the scenery of the Mercensea Palace and admire the ruins of the Battle of Dusk!"

"The scenery of the Northland is naturally worth admiring, and the relics of the Battle of Dusk are also worth seeing!"

With a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, Ms. Cecilia said in a calm tone: "Compared to a thousand years ago, the aurora in the north is still beautiful, the snow-capped mountains are still majestic, the pine forests are still dense, and the lakes are still beautiful!"

"But when I drove through the sky in a carriage and saw the forests, rivers, farmlands, manors, castles, towns, and cities, I saw only flags and insignia!"

"Although the territory of the Northland is vast, there is no extra inch of land left in the space suitable for human survival!"

King Gusta could not help but be silent, and the words of His Excellency Cecilia struck at the greatest concern of his king since he became king. Although the territory of the Northland is huge, most of them are mountains, forests, plateaus, and snow-capped mountains that are not suitable for human existence, and the land suitable for cultivation has been gradually reclaimed in the past few thousand years.

Moreover, because of thousands of years of continuous separation, all the land suitable for cultivation in the Northland basically has its own owner. The flags and coats of arms that Lord Cecilia saw were the hallmarks of the landowners.

King Gusta's biggest concern now is that he can no longer offer new lands to canonize new knights and nobles, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for the production of the Northlands to feed the growing population and knights.

"Explain your intentions!"

King Gusta was silent for a moment, softened his tone a little, and asked Cecilia again what she was doing.

"Dear King of the Northlands, before explaining our intentions, allow me to give you a small gift to show our respect for the Lord of the North, the guardians of the kingdoms of Ryandiana, the Commonwealth of Norville, the Grand Duchy of Finn, the Ice Isles, the city-states of Rhodes, the kings of the Northlanders and mountain people, the Ice Plains, the patrons of the Ice Goddess, and the patrons of the Ice Palace Mages!"

Lady Cecilia spoke a formal diplomatic tone and waved her hand slightly, releasing the gift she had already prepared for King Gusta.

The gifts were simple, consisting of a black compass carved with the coordinates of the stars, a tray containing the roots of a huge unknown plant, a wooden barrel full of golden seeds, a wooden box full of spices, a basket full of exotic fruits, a gold statue of a strange shape, and a piece of fresh earth with turf solemnly placed in the center of all the gifts.
