"Your Excellency, are we really going to the Imperial Capital?"

Inside the main hall of Xuandao Cathedral, Ize frowned, and his face was a little anxious and worried,

"The situation in the imperial capital is so complicated, if we Taoist sects go, it is very likely that we will be ...... by this whirlpool."

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Rod was silent for a moment, then smiled,

"The situation in the imperial capital is indeed extremely complicated, if we don't get it right, our Taoist sect may be hit hard because of it, but huge risks are also accompanied by huge benefits, isn't it?"

"But, but it's about the throne, it's still ...... after all"

Ize still hesitated a little, and said with some hesitation.

The throne, this is an extremely sensitive word, it is nothing in normal times, but in the current Oakland Empire, it is quite sensitive.

Because the current emperor of the Oakland Empire, Oakland XIII, is seriously ill and faints, and has been unconscious for several days!

In the entire empire, countless powerful magicians went to heal, and they all returned, and the first enshrinement of the empire, the ninth-order magician Oult, was also helpless, claiming that Auckland XIII was exhausted and time was running out.

As soon as this statement came out, the entire Auckland Empire was completely sensational, and the fall of the first emperor will inevitably cause a bloody storm of competition for the throne, if there is an obvious candidate for the heir, if the state religion of the empire has a strong prestige, the power of the empire can be barely smoothly transferred.

However, this time was different, Auckland XIII was suspicious by nature, and he had never decided on a real heir before he fell into a coma, which led to many people being angry in their hearts and looking for an heir who they thought was the most likely to inherit the throne of Auckland.

There are three who are most favored by everyone, one is Auckland XIII's younger brother, Imperial Duke Leto, the second is Auckland XIII's eldest son, the Imperial Prince, Assels, and the third is Auckland XIII's eldest daughter, Imperial Princess Philina.

Imperial Duke Leto, brave and resolute, wise and extraordinary, it is said that the most suitable heir in the heart of Auckland XII Leto, but because of the power of Auckland XIII's maternal side, Auckland XII finally chose the current Auckland XIII.

After Auckland XIII succeeded to the throne, he was also unceremonious to Leto, and directly assigned the five northern provinces to Leto, with independent military and political power, as if he was the king of a small country.

The Imperial Prince Arthurs, the eldest son of Auckland XIII, is a little mediocre in talent, but his most orthodox blood is his greatest advantage, and most of the officials within the empire are attached to him, and his momentum is quite huge.

Imperial Princess Phirina, the eldest princess of Auckland XIII, both militarily and civilly and politically, she has shown quite amazing abilities and talents, far surpassing his elder brother Prince Aserles, but because of her gender disadvantage, the power and voice of support are the smallest.

In addition to the three, there are many legal heirs, but the competitiveness is far less than that of the three.

As for the state religion of the Oakland Empire, the current state religion is the Cult of Lothor, and its pope is Darbaatar, according to the custom, the heir of the empire needs to be crowned by the pope when he inherits the throne, in order to demonstrate the supremacy of the throne and show the idea that the emperor is God.

However, Auckland XIII was a non-believer, and to put it bluntly, he was an atheist, so he did not accept the coronation of the Lothor Cult at his coronation.

Not only that, but during the decades of his reign, Oakland XIII undermined the influence of the Cult of Lother throughout the empire, both physically and invisibly, such as restricting the establishment of distributed churches in various provinces and the many miracle rituals of the Cult of Lothar.

He pursued the idea of ruling the empire with absolute imperial authority, not with the help of divine power.

His actions have been very effective, decades ago, the influence of the Cult of Lother was a sneezing presence in the entire empire, but now, the Cult of Rothar is like an empty shell, except for the so-called papal name and its symbolism, it has no influence whatsoever.

Of course, this was not something that could be achieved by the imperial power of Auckland XIII alone, and over the course of several decades, Auckland XIII used the name of Pope to attract a small number of sects to work for him, and it was with their power that he was able to get to where he is today.

If it weren't for that, with the previous dominance of the Lother Divine Cult in the Empire, it would never have been possible for Taoism to rise so easily.

The Cult of Rother was an empty shell, and he was no longer of much use in the struggle for the throne, and was abandoned early, so the heirs set their sights on many powerful sects in the empire.

You help me to ascend to the throne of God, and I help you to ascend to the throne of the Pope.

Granit, the vice president of the sect association, was an ambitious man, and naturally he chose to bet on an heir, and this time he came to Taoism to cooperate with Taoism by the will of those who came behind him.

"If this opportunity is missed, it will be even more difficult for Taoism to win the pope again. ”

Rod pondered his thoughts for a while, and then said with a long sigh of relief.

In fact, he didn't know that the imperial capital at this time was like a powder keg, which could be detonated at any time, and if he went, he would even set himself on fire, but there was no way, a great opportunity was in front of him, and he didn't want to let it slip away, so he had to take the fire.

"Yes. ”

After a moment of silence, Ize finally nodded slowly,

"Indeed, this opportunity can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the empire is facing a battle for the throne, and the state religion of the empire is strong and strong, if you want to have such a good opportunity again, unless you have to wait until the imperial war. ”

"That's right, so this time we have to go to the imperial capital. ”

With a calm face, Rod quietly looked in the direction of the imperial capital in the distance, and said slowly in his mouth,

"I have to go......"

"By the way, Your Excellency, do you have any clue about the successor that Granite supports?"

As if remembering something, Izawa looked at Rod,

"Duke Leto, Prince Athols or Her Royal Highness Princess Filina?"

"What do you think?"

Rod didn't answer, but asked Izawa rhetorically.

"This ......"

Izawa's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought about it for a while and said,

"I think it should be Duke Leto, Duke Leto is the biggest popular candidate, the five northern provinces have been built by him like an iron bucket in the past few decades, the most powerful, and his qualifications and experience are difficult to compare with the other two. ”

"Yi Ze, if everyone is rushing to get the fragrant dumplings, how can it be our turn to Taoism. ”

Hearing this, Rod just smiled faintly, and said slowly,

"President Granitt is a man who does great things......"
