Elliott's words have already been spoken.

Lynch made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate the production technology of Jin Kela, which would lead to a contest between imperial power and divine power.

For little Lynch, any whirlpool can kill people.

Caught in such a whirlpool, if you are not careful, you will be crushed.

However, it is not possible not to take sides.

The historical experience of the earth tells Lynch that before the two political forces compete, the first thing to clean up is the centrists.

Just look at Dorag's actions with the church.

There is no direct conflict between the imperial power and the divine power, even if the elves are divided, it shows that the two sides do not have the idea of direct conflict, at least they are very restrained.

Because they won't fight a decisive battle until they've won over the nobility.

Since you want to take sides, you have to analyze which side to stand on.

"My friend, can you keep me calm?"

"I already understand what you mean. ”

"But you know, it's too much at stake. ”

"I see. "Elliot doesn't want to press Lynch too hard, standing in line doesn't have much impact on people like Elliot, even if he is on the side of His Majesty the Emperor, it won't be good, because he is the strongest group of people in the entire continent.

But it has a great impact on Lynch, and it can't be too careful to choose.

And Elliott wasn't worried about Lynch's choice of church.

Because although the Toposso territory still maintains a great deal of independence, from the last time it was submitted to His Majesty the Emperor, it was changed from a pioneer territory to a territory loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, which inevitably brought the color of imperial power, and it was no longer an independent nobleman in the pure sense.

Elliott believed that Lynch would join the Torposo in his refuge with His Majesty the Emperor.

Lynch did think so.

Should we be on the side of His Majesty the Emperor?

For such a major matter, Lynch alone would never dare to make a conclusion.

It was not the politically ignorant Manna or the too young Norma who was able to discuss this with him, but the mature and experienced mother-in-law.

Hearing Lynch's explanation, Lady Dulcinea's face was full of solemnity.

"Don't let the current situation affect your thinking, whether we are now in His Majesty the Emperor or not, it should not be an important influencing factor. ”

"We're looking for the future. ”

Sure enough, this kind of thing is more experienced for my mother-in-law, and she immediately pointed out the mistake of this kind of thinking, which is too much consideration of the current situation.

Since it is necessary to consider taking sides, it is necessary not to think too much about the current situation, but about the future.

The biggest core issue in politics is who will be the winner, and we will be on the side of the winner.

In this regard, astrology has been the subject of countless jokes.

Like the younger sister of Viscount Orphe, Lady Tina used astrology to think that the final victor was her eldest brother, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.

"Yes, mother-in-law, but I want to make it clear that Elliott's words have a hint of warning in them, it is impossible to have a left and right source, it will be cut in half like the corpse of an elf, and the meaning of letting me see the corpse, in addition to my own bad taste, I am afraid that there will also be a corpse that will be cut in half, which is impossible to recover. ”

What Lynch meant was that His Majesty the Emperor had already taken the lead, and there were legendary magicians nearby in this regard, and it was impossible for the church to send a legendary powerhouse to Toposo to lead it, so the implication would be too strong.

As long as Elliott continues to stay in the Torposo Territory in the name of studying the Magic City, it means that the Toposso Territory will always be under the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, which is both a protection and a guarantee.

"So putting all this aside, who do you think will win?"

"His Majesty the Emperor's struggle with the Church. ”

Lady Dulcinea did not agree with Lynch's proposal, and had to take refuge with His Majesty the Emperor because of security concerns.

Instead, he continued to ask Lynch about the final result.

"I'm bullish on the church. ”

Yes, if there is a struggle between the theocracy and the imperial power, Lynch is optimistic about the final victory of the church.

"Why?"

"Because His Majesty the Emperor has no thoughts. There is no set of dreams that are cohesive enough, and the church does. ”

Yes, Lynch has read history and knows how terrible the power of thought can be.

On the long scale of history, ideas will always triumph, and no force can change all this.

At that time, Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism and attacked Confucianism with enough force, but was he able to propose a new set of ideas to replace Confucianism?

No, so after the collapse of the Great Qin Empire, by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Confucian family was dominant.

Armed forces without thought will always be defeated.

"Admittedly, I think that the current Emperor Dorag is a wise king, and many of his actions are beneficial to the empire, such as leveling the nobility, strengthening the center, and promoting new magical technologies, which are commendable things, but he has no thoughts. ”

Or he doesn't have a complete set of ideas that can convince people's minds. ”

"Can he tell the nobility that we weaken the nobility for the sake of the empire?"

"No, everybody understands that he's trying to make himself more powerful. ”

"The church, on the other hand, holds high the banner of civilization. ”

"The teachings of the goddess Nabis are to spread the spark of civilization all over the world, and there is a world-class dream. ”

Whether this dream is right or wrong, it does have a lot of influence.

"Countless ascetics have performed feats of devotion and endurance with astonishing endurance and sacrifice, and in the most barren and impoverished places, there are priests who provide divine healing to the local people. ”

"Where even the Imperial Tax Collector can't collect taxes, there are priests!"

"Every pioneer is accompanied by the priests, who are the best comrades. ”

"It's not the power of money to do that. ”

"I even think that if the Wyvern Empire is not strong enough to be an empire that occupies the continent, His Majesty the Emperor may not have the capital to confront the church. ”

Yes, it was precisely because of the strength of the church that Lynch made the choice to cooperate with the church, and even hoped to transform the game of dueling monsters into a kind of game of the church, if the pastor could promote the game for himself, Lynch could guarantee that people all over the world would play it.

This is where the Church is far superior to His Majesty the Emperor in terms of grassroots organization.

Madame Dulcinea was deeply shocked by Lynch's statement, she had never considered it before, and even just now, she had only considered it in terms of the balance of power.

"Lynch, sometimes even I feel that it's a pity that you are in Toposo, your stage should be the most expansive space in the imperial capital. ”

"Then let me ask you one more thing, if you are asked to give advice to Your Majesty, what can you do?"

The question was asked because Madame Dulcinea really wanted to know how much surprise her son-in-law could bring them. (To be continued.) )
