Chapter 44: A Crazy Plan to Use the Gods
Looking out the window at the wind and snow, Seris. Oinker drank the hot tea brewed from the elf leaves, and the coldness of his body was expelled as the tea entered his stomach, and a comfortable warm current spread out.
The kingdom of Aklan, where the northern borders are covered in ice and snow for most of the time, and the territory borders the barbarians, with whom there are wars every year.
The cruel environment has forged the tenacity of the people of the North.
But that doesn't change the fact that compared to the rest of the kingdom, the North is a hell of a human world.
The god of war loves this place because there is this war.
The god of frost and dreams shelters the place, and people find suffering in reality and respite in dreams.
Devilish believers love it too, because there will always be people who can't bear the torture and throw themselves into the arms of demons.
Seris had long since become accustomed to the cruelty of the land where he was born.
The source of his soul came from Jiang Wei, and the memories that belonged to Jiang Wei were not released directly, but merged with him little by little in his growing years.
Therefore, Seris's personality is not completely consistent with Jiang Wei.
But the essence that belongs to Jiang Wei has not changed in him.
He didn't become a normal nobleman of the Akram Kingdom, but like Jiang Wei, he always wanted to subvert the rules that he thought were wrong.
But Seris is a smart man, so he has never exposed his thoughts, and his thoughts have only been truly and thoroughly shaped in the past few years.
So in the eyes of others, Seris. Oink, still an excellent successor to the nobility, is an excellent surrogate of the Seven Gods.
In the kingdom of Aklan, the faith of the Seven Gods is not separated, allowing the existence of pan-believers, even shallow believers can, but not a complete unbeliever, who will enter the abyss after death in the propaganda of the church, and will be the most easily bewitched by demons when he is alive.
The Oinker family, although they believe in the gods of frost and dreams, does not prevent the people in the family from believing in the other seven gods.
But Seris's father, the Marquis of Oink, has reminded him more than once that Seris should purify his faith so that he can truly inherit the family's secrets.
Putting down the teacup, Seris fell into deep thought.
He didn't care about Marquis Oink's urging to marry, he could come up with several delaying methods, and even if he was forced to do so, it was not impossible to really marry a woman.
But in his heart, in fact, a plan has already been born, if this plan goes wrong, everyone around him will suffer, so in this case, it is necessary to avoid marriage and the birth of his own heirs.
"Rebel against the world...... It's not an easy thing to do. ”
Seris sighed slightly.
It's not easy, if you really do this, almost all the powerful people in this world are their enemies.
But he had to do it, both for the sake of becoming a Heroic Spirit after his death, and for the sake of himself who was still alive at this time.
As for the reason?
It's enough to be unaccustomed to it.
A person who has power in his hands can be bullied by his subordinates because of his strength, so why should he act according to his own philosophy?
But no matter how many ideas and plans he had in mind, Seris must admit one thing by now, and that is that he is too weak, and his power is too small for the entire kingdom, or even just the North.
Even if his talent is already very good and is favored by many people, now he is just a young man with some strength.
So......
If he wants to complete the original accumulation of the plan, he must take advantage of it.
Putting down the teacup, he picked up the quill on the table, and on the white paper in front of him, Seris wrote a few words.
{Demon Hunter and Ascetic}
Witcher, a profession of hunting demons, many witchers are descendants of minor nobles, and some civilians who have gained some extraordinary knowledge in the war will choose to become witchers.
They roam around the entire human realm, looking for demons to hunt, and then devouring some of the demon's flesh to strengthen themselves, and the process of hunting demons will also allow them to obtain a part of the blessings from the gods.
But they are feared beings, and their long-term contact with demons makes them extremely likely to be corrupted by demons.
Ascetics, on the other hand, are fanatics who follow only one god and can give everything for the idea of the god.
The witcher represents the possibility of long-term contact with demons, while the ascetic has the potential to become the upper echelons of the church, and the two identities do not conflict.
Having these two identities is the most basic and important part of Seris's next plan.
"Gain power with demons, and use the church as my lair......"
Cyris looked at the words on the paper and muttered to himself.
He was crazy about his plan, but in the face of the rules of this world, it seemed that only in this way could he have a chance to break them.
He alone can't do anything, even if he becomes a top powerhouse, it is nothing under the power of the gods.
Even if he becomes the next Marquis of Oink, with the status and power of the Oinkke family as one of the three major marquis in the north, there is a limit to what he can do.
Because the nobles under him, as well as the other two marquises, would stare at him deadly.
Once they do something and generate any benefits, they will desperately follow suit, and once their behavior is out of line, they will use this to make a fuss and bite themselves, if they try to subvert the rules of the aristocracy, then all the nobles will be their enemies.
Including his vassals.
The nobles of the northern realm were able to survive in this cruel environment of ice and snow, not all because of the protection of their ancestors.
In the case of the nobility in other parts of the kingdom, which is basically primogeniture, within the family of the nobles in the north, the inheritance of each generation is accompanied by cruel elimination.
Only the best inheritors can become the heirs of the family, and then lead the family to survive in the north.
They are not poisonous snakes that can only hide in the shadows, but shrewd and fierce snow wolves.
Unity and betrayal, soaked in their marrow and blood!
At the same time, if you are too attached to the world, then the church will become an insurmountable mountain.
If Seris's decree violates the idea of one of the seven gods, then this is blasphemy, this is disobedience! At that time, even if Oinke was a hereditary marquis, the erasure of the title would only be a matter of words from the clergy of the Church of the Seven.
The legal net of the aristocracy is the first layer, but the legal net of theocracy is shrouded in the legal net of the aristocracy.
The divine power is higher than the royal power, and the divine power is higher than the aristocracy, this is not a joke.
After unsealing all the memories belonging to Jiang Wei, after a little thought, Seris understood that Jiang Wei's common sense could not be substituted into this world.
Because this world is truly God, no matter how many mortals are under the power of the gods, they are weak.
Therefore, obtaining the secrets of the gods, possessing powers comparable to those of the gods, and then developing his own power with the help of the church of the gods became the core of his plan.
