Chapter 332: Reaching a Consensus
If it weren't for the fact that the successive popes of the Church of Light were too strong and too tough in terms of preaching and control over the church, in fact, in all fairness, the Church of Light is really a good choice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBelief in the light allows the believers to maintain peace and forge ahead in their hearts, and the sense of justice is higher than that of believers in other temples.
Most of the divine techniques of the God of Light are relatively mild, mainly based on the guardian divine arts, supplemented by healing divine techniques, and there are very few offensive divine techniques. Of course, this is not to say that the magic of light is not powerful, as long as there is a priest of the Church of Light in a group of knights or warriors, it will bring unparalleled courage and strength to the group, and even if there is an injury, the priest of light will heal it, which is enough to dispel the worries of the team.
It's a pity that because the Church of Light is too strong, the belief in the God of Light is too bigoted, and even dares to challenge the imperial power with divine power, and also successfully establishes the Church of Light, which makes the Church of Light a big trouble for all countries, so almost all countries prohibit the Church of Light from preaching in their own countries, even the neighboring countries that are far inferior to the Church of Light gritted their teeth and refused to let go of the pressure of the Church of Light.
Things are so strange, the Church of Light obviously has an enviable magic and has one of the best comprehensive strength in the whole continent, but it has been resisted by all the countries on the continent, and the originally powerful Church of Light has gradually declined in the past hundred years, and the number of believers has declined year by year, and it is not as good as those well-known gods of harvest, luck and war. So now Cardinal Owen attaches great importance to being able to set up the Church of Light in Pritz City, and even shelves his previous plan to suppress Leo.
With this Church of Light, the pastor of the church can preach to all the residents, merchants, and mercenaries in Pritz City, and as long as they show enough miracles, I believe that the Church of Light will inevitably take the first step in its external expansion. No matter how strong the mercenary group is, every time you go on a mission, you will inevitably have mercenary damage, and in the past, you used to find some herbs to try your luck, if you have the magic of light, it is estimated that the door of the church of light will be broken by the mercenaries.
Even the Church of Light can take the opportunity to send priests to join some mercenary groups, as long as the mercenaries are accustomed to the convenient healing effects brought by the Divine Magic of Light, then they will no longer be able to do without the Church of Light, if they can control those mercenaries from all over the continent, let alone take a small Principality of Pritz, even if it is impossible to infiltrate other countries on the mainland.
Cardinal Owen's calculations were masterful, but Leo also had his own ideas. Out of his understanding of the history of the Western Church on Earth, Leo knew Owen's plans, but what Cardinal Owen didn't expect was that the future Pritz City would no longer be dominated by mercenaries, and after the goblin group joined Pritz and integrated into the human world, Leo planned to slowly restrict the entry of mercenaries and firmly control the Dragon Mountain Range in his own hands.
No matter how powerful a mercenary is, it can't be as useful as a goblin in the mountains. Whether it is in terms of adaptation to the mountains and jungles, or sight, hearing, and smell, it is surpassed by goblins, and the gap in individual strength can also be made up by numbers, and goblins have petrified lizards as auxiliaries, which may not be weaker than those mercenary groups.
Using goblins as the main force to loot the magic resources of the Dragon Mountain Range also has the advantage of consuming a part of the redundant goblin population, after all, goblins are too powerful, especially after life is stable, if it is not strictly controlled, I am afraid that soon Pritz City will not be able to hold the skyrocketing goblin population.
"Then, with that in mind, I will arrange for the relevant pastors to come and build the church as soon as possible, and all the expenses will be borne by the Church of Light. Cardinal Owen reconfirmed.
"Of course, since we have come to an agreement, then I expect the Church of Light to bring the blessings of the God of Light to the city of Pritz. Leo looked very kind and sincere with a smile on his face, and his mouth was also kind and sincere.
Cardinal Owen and Leo were both pleased with the outcome of the conversation, and the two foxes, one old and one young, smiled at each other, and everything was silent. After negotiating the establishment of the church, Cardinal Owen would no longer trouble Leo, and as for the previous plan to put pressure on the royal family of Lorraine to suppress Leo, it was even more like never before.
Even the envoy of Paris has dismissed the continuation of the conquest of the Kingdom of Lorraine and the Duchy of Pritz, so as the Cardinal of Owen who was invited by the Paris Empire, it will naturally not be much more troublesome, and the low-level means of forcibly slandering the Kingdom of Lorraine and colluding with necromancers is naturally more important than the establishment of the Church of Light in Pritz.
Cardinal Owen returned home with his Order of Divine Judgment, leaving only a few chaplains to discuss with Leo the location of the Church of Light. Leo also wished that the people of the Church of Light would leave quickly, so that he would be worried all day long.
Standing on the towering walls of Pritz and waving his hand to Cardinal Owen in the distance, Leo's face showed a sneer: "Sure enough, just like what is written in those novels, even if you believe in light, even if you are bathed in warm light, there will always be a dark side in people's hearts, and these people in the Church of Light are not good things." But if you want to get the benefit from me, it depends on whether you have enough means. ”
It's been two years since he crossed over to the Alpha Continent, and Leo has grown from the ignorant aristocratic abandoned son to the grand duke of a principality, although the city government is not as good as those old people in politics, but at least many movies and novels in his previous life have provided Leo with countless references, and his understanding of people's hearts and the prevention of conspiracies have also made great progress, at least he is no longer the simple archaeological man.
Standing on the pass-like city wall, looking at the dragon mountain range that winds and steeps in the distance like a giant dragon and is firmly locked by Pritz City, Leo's eyes gradually condensed, as long as he masters this dragon mountain range, the development of Pritz City will inevitably usher in a new height in the future.
However, now all the resources of the Dragon Mountain Range are produced by mercenaries who go deep into the exploration and fight for their lives between the treacherous geography and the ferocious monsters. What Leo had to do was to let some goblins enter the Dragon Mountains first, probe and map the distribution of resources in the mountains, and gradually replace the mercenaries with goblins.
Although the existence of mercenaries allows the products of the Dragon Mountains to support the financial income of Pritz City, the instability caused by those mercenaries makes Leo a little uncomfortable, and there are thousands of mercenaries in a Pritz City, once they are organized, it is enough to threaten Leo's rule, so Leo's top priority is to de-mercenalist. Of course, this is a slow process, and it is necessary to let the mercenaries leave on their own, and not to use strong means to force them, otherwise it will inevitably provoke their backlash.
