The invisible prestige accumulated in the previous two years, coupled with the many words and camouflage guidance of Zhi Brain during the current negotiation, the "mysterious and unpredictable" image of the "Dream Lord" created by Jiang Yan has already left some impressions in the hearts of the emperor of the empire. &1t;/p>

At the very least, he had succeeded in making the emperor decide in his heart that he would never take the initiative to become an enemy unless he was completely sure and did not find out the details of the 'Dream Lord'. &1t;/p>

Then he also showed his own advantages, so that the emperor understood that if he cooperated with the 'Dream Lord', the empire could gain great benefits. &1t;/p>

This has the advantage of not only being able to rally an ally to share the threat from the Ecclesiastical forces who regard the Empire as a thorn in their side, but also to increase the strength of his Empire itself!&1t;/p>

Therefore, for Jiang Yan's initiative to cooperate, the emperor basically had no idea of refusing. &1t;/p>

But this detail still has to be talked about again. &1t;/p>

Jiang Yan listed a lot of transactions in the "Plan", but the most concerned by the emperor was really the bloodline of the "Dragonborn". &1t;/p>

After calming down the ups and downs in his heart, he asked Zhi Brain, "According to your meaning, if you want to obtain the transplantation and enhancement of the fourth-level bloodline power, you can only trade with the bloodline power of the same level?"&1t;/p>

"You don't have to specify the power of the bloodline, if you have other precious things that can also reach the fourth level of evaluation, you can try to trade them, whether it is knowledge, technology, secret treasures, or other curiosities. 』&1t;/p>

The emperor was very excited, and other things were still a little difficult to do for a while, but if it was a "dragonborn" bloodline who could be called a fourth-level rank, there was no one else in the last two generations of the empire, including him, the emperor, except for him. However, if you count the elders of the hidden world, the situation is different. &1t;/p>

At least as far as Emperor Will knew, his grandfather, who had been in retreat and ascetic in the Patriarch's Courtyard, had a very high dragon bloodline just like him. &1t;/p>

According to Zhi Brain's words, if he directly exchanged it for the bloodline of the same level, in fact, his own family would not lose anything in essence, and he would be able to increase the inheritance seed of a high-level dragonborn bloodline with great potential. Compared to exchanging other secret treasures of the same level, it seems to be a lot more cost-effective. &1t;/p>

Of course, how it is, whether there is really no risk, needs to be further considered, this matter must not just listen to the words of the wisdom of the brain!&1t;/p>

With this in mind, the Emperor made a secret decision: "It seems that Yu needs to find a time to visit his ancestors." ’&1t;/p>

Although Will Emerald Alduin XVI was the Emperor of the Empire, the throne was confined to the present day. Will does have absolute authority over the people under his rule, but in the face of those powerful elders who have retreated from the world, even if he is on the throne, he can't command the other party at will. &1t;/p>

Especially this kind of transaction that may have a certain amount of risk and is related to the root of his bloodline, even if Emperor Wei is tempted, it is absolutely impossible for him to make decisions without authorization, and he must first seek the opinions of those sect elders themselves. &1t;/p>

Of course, if Will himself was willing to take the risk and experiment with the power of his own bloodline to trade with the Dream Lord, it would not be so troublesome. But obviously, as the emperor, he could not risk his life. &1t;/p>

Fortunately, Will didn't have the idea of trying it himself, because the power of his bloodline had been copied to the complete software data by Jiang Yan just now, and Jiang Yan had no value that could be used as a bargaining chip. &1t;/p>

The matter of the fourth-level bloodline power can only be postponed for the time being, and after Emperor Will looked through the plan, and after carefully looking at the transaction plan for the "Dragonborn", he frowned and asked: "The transplantation and strengthening of the bloodline power of the "Dragonborn", in addition to opening it to the Yu Empire, do you also plan to trade it to other forces?"&1t;/p>

"For now, we will not reject any sincere collaborators except those related to the Church of Light. 』&1t;/p>

Zhi Brain's answer immediately made Emperor Wei's face a little gloomy. &1t;/p>

Because, the meaning of Zhi Brain's words has already made it clear that as long as the chips are right, even the Rhines Kingdom, which has a feud with the Empire, can also get the same high-level "Dragonborn" bloodline from their hands through trading?&1t;/p>

You must know that when the Rhines Kingdom was founded, it was split from the original territory of the Duragon Empire! The royal family of the kingdom is actually the descendant of a feudal grand duke whose power and prestige are almost comparable to the royal family in the original empire!&1t;/p>

And the inheritance of several grand dukes of the empire can be the same as the royal family of Duragon originates from the ancient nobles that already existed during the founding of the empire. &1t;/p>

At the beginning, the ancestors of the various families, including the Alduin line, actually had some blood relations with each other, and it was only because the strength of the Alduin lineage was the strongest at that time that they sat on the throne of the royal family when they established the Duragon Empire. &1t;/p>

Therefore, the Rhines royal family actually has the inheritance of the power of the "dragonborn" bloodline of the same origin as the empire, but because of some changes that have been buried in history, the "dragonborn" power of the Rhines royal family has declined, unlike the two remaining archdukes of the empire who still barely retain a certain climate, and unlike the Alduin family, they still barely maintain the bloodline of a high-level dragonborn like Emperor Will. &1t;/p>

However, if the Rhines had teamed up with the Dream Lord, the situation might have changed, for example, by retrieving the power of their bloodline!&1t;/p>

Emperor Will is working hard, but he still wants to recover the Rhines Kingdom in his own generation, so he naturally doesn't want to make it more difficult for himself. &1t;/p>

So Emperor Wei directly opened his mouth and asked Zhi Brain: "Yu thinks that in this regard, we should talk about it." ”&1t;/p>

After understanding what he meant, Zhi Brain was silent for a moment, and then replied, "In this regard, we can agree to the condition that within this time, the bloodline power trading project above the third level will be set to be open only to the Empire, but this is limited to the bloodline of the Dragonborn. 』&1t;/p>

After Emperor Weir showed his joy, Zhi Brain suddenly asked, "But in return for this condition, the Empire must also make corresponding concessions. 』&1t;/p>

Yu can understand. Emperor Will nodded. Then he frowned slightly and asked, "Is the restriction just above level three?"&1t;/p>

"Yes, we will also list the power of the second-tier Dragonborn bloodline as a public sale, open to other collaborators. It is already very sincere to be able to give the exclusive trading authority of the power of the bloodline of the "Dragonborn" above the third level to the Empire. Don't you think so?'&1t;/p>

"Forget it...... Seeing that Zhibrain didn't intend to give in, Emperor Will was silent for a moment, but still gave up the idea of fighting more. &1t;/p>

If it's just the power of the second-level bloodline, according to the description, the ultimate growth potential is only at the limit of the military level, and the threat it can bring is not too great. &1t;/p>

"In addition, if it involves the power of the Dragonborn bloodline, we can also give the empire certain preferential privileges. 』&1t;/p>

"Oh, exactly, what do you say?" the emperor raised his eyebrows. &1t;/p>

"For example, when the Empire buys the bloodline power of the Dragonborn for a group of people in the official name, you can enjoy a certain amount of discounted price. 』&1t;/p>

"Really? That's good news. Emperor Will's eyes lit up and a smile flickered. &1t;/p>

When he learned that the "Dream Lord" planned to open the power of the bloodline to the public on a large scale, the emperor already had a plan in his heart: through the transaction with the other party, he would arm himself with several elite troops formed by the inheritors of the bloodline power on a large scale, so as to expand the backbone of the army. &1t;/p>

I believe that the high-level leaders of other countries will have similar ideas after seeing the cooperation conditions of the 'Dream Lord', right? This is equivalent to a military competition, so the advantage that the empire can bring by this discount is very great. &1t;/p>

After smiling, Emperor Wei's face turned pale and asked, "So, since such preferential conditions have been given, there must be corresponding requirements, right?" &1t;/p>

After saying that, he glanced at the plan in his hand. &1t;/p>

Here is only the benefit conditions given by the "Lord of Dreams", but there is no requirement that the other party wants. I think it's going to be decided through on-the-spot negotiations. &1t;/p>

"Yes. The intelligent soul ball flashed, "First, we want you to acknowledge the legitimacy of the 'Dream Church' within the empire. 』&1t;/p>

"Church?" As soon as he heard this religious term, Emperor Will couldn't help frowning, because of the Holy Light Church, he didn't have much affection for similar religious organizations. &1t;/p>

After all, there are often irreconcilable contradictions between the theocratic religious organization and the feudal system of royal supremacy. &1t;/p>

Listening to Zhi Brain's words, the so-called "Dream Church" is obviously a religious organization that serves the "Lord of Dreams". &1t;/p>

And as a qualified ruler, Emperor Will did not want to let an unknown god ride on his head. &1t;/p>

"Don't worry. Zhi Brain obviously saw Emperor Weir's concerns, and quickly explained flatly, "Our 'Dream Church' can make a guarantee that it will not participate in the political and military operations of the empire in any form. will also act in accordance with the laws of the Empire. 』&1t;/p>

In other words, even if a church exhibition is established, won't the 'Dream Lord' interfere in any official affairs of the Empire?&1t;/p>

Emperor Wei's face softened a little, he thought for a while, stared at Zhi Brain with a serious expression and asked, "If you say so, Yu can think about it, but for church affairs, there are a few conditions that you must agree to." ”&1t;/p>

"Speak. 』&1t;/p>

"First of all, the people involved in the Church, whether ordinary members of the church or the pope at the top, could not have any political privileges under the Yu Empire. If anyone violates the laws of the Empire, even if they are insiders of the Church, as long as they are in the territory of the Empire, they must be punished by the Empire's criminal law, and the Church has no autonomy over the law! Moreover, those who have the status within the Church are no longer allowed to participate in the political and military related industries of the Empire!" the Emperor said in an unquestioning tone. &1t;/p>

After two or three seconds, Zhi Brain replied, "Yes. 』&1t;/p>

This condition, once agreed, is almost equivalent to depriving all believers of the "Dream Church" the right to interfere in the official affairs of the Empire. &1t;/p>

However, Jiang Yan didn't care about this, so he agreed to this condition very simply. &1t;/p>

Seeing this, Emperor Will nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then continued to put forward one condition after another: "The 'Dream Church' shall not conduct voluntary property fundraising activities in any name. ”&1t;/p>

"In any town, even in the countryside, missionaries had to obtain permission from the Empire before they could carry out missionary activities within the territory of the Empire! ”&1t;/p>

"The nature of the Church is to be regarded as equivalent to doing business, and the relevant taxes must be paid to the Empire on a regular basis according to the size of the Church's facilities and the number of believers in the church! Of course, in this regard, Yu will allow the Church to establish business activities in its own name to earn the necessities of life, and will reduce the taxes on the Church to a suitable value lower than that of the general Chamber of Commerce, the details of which you can later send a representative to discuss with Yu's tax officer. ”&1t;/p>

...... &1t;/p>

In this way, the emperor put forward one condition after another, none of which seemed excessive, but basically all of them were set to limit the threat of religious organizations such as the "Dream Church" to the rule of the king. &1t;/p>

In particular, the condition that the Church was regarded as equal in nature to the mercantile trade, and that it was required to pay regular taxes to the Empire, was a strategy that would seriously diminish the sanctity of religion. &1t;/p>

As long as there is such an act of paying taxes, it is directly politically clear that the Church is subject to the rule of the royal power, and that it will no longer have any sacredness outside the secular realm!&1t;/p>

【31 】&1t;/p>

Moreover, through the means of compulsory taxation, there are certain restrictions on the scale of the church—if it is regarded as an industry, the larger the scale, the more taxes will need to be paid!&1t;/p>

From the ruler's point of view, the most fearful thing is that the religious organization will develop into the kind of cancer organization that parasitizes the people's heads and sucks blood and then does not produce it, which the rulers hate so much. The emperor's religious taxation system, which was based on the number of people and the size of the industry, would have been able to avoid such bad consequences to a large extent by restricting his 'illegal fund-raising'. &1t;/p>

Of course, as the Duragon Empire, which is backed by the "Dragon God", the Emperor also solemnly put forward a condition - no matter on any occasion, the relevant people of the "Dream Church" are not allowed to express any behavior or remarks that will damage the "Dragon God"! In particular, the doctrinal texts strictly prohibit the promotion of the slightest content similar to the "monotheism" and the exclusion of the belief of the "Dragon God"! (To be continued)&1t;/p>
