"It turns out that the king really failed...."

At 99 Kerr Street, inside the Church of Truth, Ma Wei listened to the report translated by Xiao Hei, and his mood did not fluctuate much.

The defeat of the royal power was something he had long anticipated, and it was the inevitability of the times, and you can't expect magical gods to submit to secular monarchs, right?

Just as a singer civilization with a superweapon like a two-way foil would not bow down to the earthlings, this is simply unrealistic.

Among the information brought back by the tabby cat, there is a crucial piece of information - the current focus of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate is not to eradicate the small churches in the Kingdom of Windsor, but to have other plans.

This means that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny will not use violent means anytime soon.

It also shows that war is coming.

Compared with the few small churches in the kingdom that cannot be put on the table, at the beginning of the arrival of the gods, it is more important to grab the cake quickly, which is also the method that the Kingdom of Windsor has always loved.

After all, the more vast the land, the more believers can develop, and the more believers, the stronger the gods and the stronger the church....

If you focus on a few small churches in the kingdom and waste time, you can indeed eliminate hidden dangers, but by the time you have your hands free, the cake will have already been divided.

So....

The development strategy of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate is to temporarily appease other hidden dangers of instability, leave a certain amount of power to monitor, and focus most of its energy on how to divide the cake and strive for more benefits.

Is this kind of behavior stupid?

Ma Wei doesn't think so.

The Romanov Kingdom, which does not have a church, has no idea what kind of great changes have taken place in other countries for a while, and everyone is also very tacitly concealed the facts, so that they can not use violence without violence, so as not to be seen by the eyes sent by the Romanov Kingdom...

Beneath the surface of peace, there is an undercurrent.

Of course, although the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate does not plan to take action against the small church immediately, it is always right to prevent trouble before it happens, and Bishop Fowler, who is about to come to New Ross City, is bound to win over the fourth prince Arthur, as long as he can control Arthur, who is ambitious and has land jurisdiction in advance, the church in Wexford County will not be able to make any waves.

Ring after ring, like a dark cloud, they came towards the Church of Truth.

"It's not easy to do...."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Ma Wei felt a little pain in his head.

As far as he knew, the fourth prince Arthur would not appear at tonight's banquet, but a few other nobles would come to see the priest who forced the rose thief back...

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and Ma Wei doesn't mind deepening his relationship with other nobles, but the problem is that Father Satuq from the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will also be there.

He's going to make trouble, there's no doubt about that.

"Boss, do you say that Arthur, the fourth prince, will surrender to the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate?" Levine asked.

"It's hard to say... After all, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is the state religion, and it is the actual ruler of the kingdom now, and the benefits of cooperating with them are naturally indispensable, and it is not impossible to get out of the sea of suffering and return to the royal capital. ”

"Then let's!" Levin's eyes widened: "Hurry up and slip away!" ”

"It's just possible, Bishop Fowler hasn't come yet, and the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, don't be in such a hurry to make up your mind, okay?"

Glancing at him, Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "The fourth prince Arthur is a careerist, an absolute careerist, this kind of character, in the prosperous world, may not have the opportunity to emerge, but in troubled times, it will definitely not be buried." ”

According to the rumors in the community, his usual style of acting, he should not immediately express his support for Bishop Fowler, but first stabilize the other party and find the reason for Bishop Fowler's visit. No one will give away benefits for no reason, and there must be a reason for giving away benefits. ”

"By then... Things are still turning around. ”

"Turnaround? What turnaround? ”

Levine raised his eyebrows: "You don't expect the fourth prince Arthur to refuse Bishop Fowler and come over to help us!" Please, we are not his father, and we are not his mother, everyone is not related to each other, why should we give up the hope of returning to the royal capital and help the Church of Truth without hesitation! ”

"Because ambition, absolute ambition."

Picking up the black tea and blowing away the heat on it, Ma Wei laughed softly: "If the fourth prince Arthur accepts Bishop Fowler's proposal to restrict the development of other small churches, then even if he returns to the royal capital in the future, he will have no chance to compete for the throne, and once his three brothers are enthroned and become the king of the Windsor Kingdom, his life will definitely not be easy, and even his life is in danger." ”

"Why not? The king is the center of power, and anything is possible! ”

"Do you know about the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate?"

“.... I don't understand. ”

"That's right, if you know about the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, you will definitely not be able to say what you just said."

Shaking his head, Ma Wei put down the teacup and patiently explained: "The Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is a polytheistic religion with three branches, the great goddess Wilde is in charge of health, the second goddess Nanelder is in charge of wealth, and the third goddess Tilde is in charge of sin. ”

"Polytheism is fundamentally different from monotheism, just like the various political parties within the kingdom, only when external enemies come, everyone is a community of interests, and there is no shortage of open and secret battles in ordinary times."

“.....”

After listening to Ma Wei's story, Levin's eyes suddenly became suspicious.

"King Rhodes IV has four princes, all of whom nominally have the right to inherit, but the fourth prince Arthur was expelled from the royal capital because he had no background. Could it be...."

"You guessed it right, the first three princes all have the support of archbishops of different forces, so I asserted that even if the fourth prince Arthur returns to the royal capital, he will not have a chance to take the throne." His eyes narrowed, and Ma Wei showed a slightly weird smile: "If he wants to become the king of the Windsor Kingdom, he must use other means to get the support of other nobles and other churches, which is why he is trying to win over the nobles and gentry of Wexfordshire." ”

"And the nobles of Wexford County support him, and there are also factors that are not welcomed by Parliament, if the fourth prince Arthur can ascend to the throne with their help, then the House of Lords of the Nobles will definitely have their place."

"There is no good thing in the sky that will drop pie, Levin, anything, as long as you look at the essence through the appearance, you can't escape the shackles of interests and beliefs, this is human nature.... Either greed or noble humanity! ”

With a sad face on the side, Yunia, who was reciting the ninety-nine multiplication table, suddenly turned her head and looked at her father, her eyes dripping.

She still remembers that when she went to the South Street Orphanage, she asked the fourth prince Arthur if he was a good person, and Ma Wei's answer was that the fourth prince Arthur was indeed a good person to the children living in the orphanage.

Mavey never said that he thought Arthur was a 'good guy'.
