Chapter 488 [Wake Up](1/2)
Chapter 488 [Awakening to Dream]
There is no imperial power, no national law...no constraints, no imprisonment.
A virgin land, a blank piece of paper, can be used to let oneself be... Remove tens of thousands of the most devout believers, make villages, towns, and eventually... become a country!
A kingdom of God that is united in politics and religion!
This is simply the ultimate dream that the Temple of Light has been dreaming of for thousands of years!
This prospect is really beautiful!
A vast continent has no more constraints, and the teachings of the Temple of Light have no more obstructions...
Just spend your time removing tens of thousands of devout believers, supplemented by elite clergy in the temple, plus the loyal and brave Holy Knights as the barrier.
This process may be very long, ten years, twenty years, thirty years, fifty years...
But it doesn't matter!
At least, from this description, the difficulty of getting things is much easier than continuing to get entangled with the powerful royal family and the government forces of the empire!
In thirty or fifty years, the church may kill the royal family and turn the Roland Empire into a country that combines politics and religion?
No matter how arrogant Heinx is, he knows that this is impossible! He will never be able to do it in another hundred years!
But if there are a hundred years to follow the plan mentioned by Darling Chen, the possibility of success is extremely high!
And...why not try it?
Perhaps the early investment will lose some manpower, but if it succeeds... then what you get is the dream goal of countless generations of sages in the Temple of Light!
In that kingdom of gods, there are no more emperors, no more prime ministers, no more government officials... there are no more unrestrained people who do not believe in gods...
What a wonderful world that is!
Give it a try! You can definitely give it a try!!
...
Heinx left in a daze, and the pope left in a hurry. He even seemed to have forgotten his purpose, and forgot that he came to investigate the past with Darlingchen.
Watching the Pope leave, Chen Daolin showed a cold smile on his face. He slowly lifted the jar of wine and sat back on the rocking chair. He took two more sips.
Lanlan, if you... really die overseas, then I might as well let the pope send more people to bury you!
...
Of course, Chen Daolin would not worry that the church would send a large number of people to sea. If he went to expeditions to another continent, he would really create a so-called "kingdom of God".
In this world, no one knows the terrible and dangerousness of the expedition in the vast sea better than Chen Daolin!
You should know that when the Age of Discovery in the real world begins, the danger of ocean navigation is not much better than suicide.
In this era, tens of thousands of people immigrated. Relying on the navigation technology and conditions of this era, we have made expeditions to foreign continents overseas?
Chen Daolin wants to laugh as long as he thinks of it!
If you take a step back, even if the church succeeds.
Did you really find the overseas continent where you founded the country?
A pure religious country that integrates politics and religion?
Ha ha ha ha……
Not to mention that there are probably many indigenous alien races, dwarves, orcs, and elves on that continent...
Even if these people from the Temple of Light that expeditions can defeat those indigenous aliens...
A purely religious country that integrates politics and religion, this kind of thing seems like a joke to Chen Daolin!
Brother Darling from the real world knows at least one common sense:
In the real world, all the religious countries that still exist that "integrate politics and religion" are synonymous with backwardness and ignorance compared to all developed countries.
Pope? Theocratic power replaces state power?
The ancient history of Europe has proved that this set of things simply does not work.
...
It was already late at night when Chen Dao walked out of this small yard.
He did not deliberately hide his whereabouts.
Walk out of this path with a swagger and walk on the streets late at night.
Perhaps because of the emperor's wedding celebration, the festive atmosphere in the imperial capital was still strong, and there were some shops and restaurants on the street that had never closed. Some drunk passers-by staggered, some laughed, and some were noisy.
For such people, even the passing patrol and security teams would not take a look at them.
Chen Daolin knew that when he walked out of that path, many eyes were already staring at him in the dark.
He just smiled faintly and ignored it.
I entered the imperial capital today, and I had no intention of hiding anyone. I walked out of the Magic Academy with a big swagger, and then went all the way to the imperial capital, and walked into the imperial capital gate with a big swagger. During this whole process, I was seen. The guards and imperial guards surrounding outside the Magic Academy were not blind.
Moreover, even Pope Heinx could know that he had entered the city and that he was in that small courtyard and came to see him.
Then... Hilo must have known it a long time ago.
...
"His he left?"
In the palace, Hilo looked solemn and stared at Gu Le standing in front of him.
Gu Le wore a white robe, and looked a bit elegant when he was good at dancing in the imperial capital.
After hearing Hilo's question, Gu Le slowly raised his eyelids: "Yes, he has left, his subordinates followed him all the way, watching him leave the city with his own eyes and head towards the direction of the Magic Academy. There are still people following along the way, and I think there will be reports to send them back later."
Shilo fell silent.
After a while, he seemed to be thinking and smiled bitterly: "He came into the city today, and walked around the imperial capital in a swagger, then ran to the yard of the late Master Lanhai's former residence for a while, and dug a jar of wine from the ground in the yard? Pope Heinx, the Temple of Light, ran to chat with him for a while? He did these things and left?"
"At present, he only did this, and... he didn't seem to want to hide it from us." Gu Le also smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, with his current ability, if I don't want us to know, my people will not be able to keep him. He deliberately did not hide his traces, just let us know."
"Hmph. Do I still want to thank him for not deliberately promoting his identity? It is considered to have given me the emperor's face?" Shilo smiled coldly.
Gu Le frowned: "Your Majesty, I'm blunt, with Da Lingchen's current strength, there are not many ways to restrict him. He can restrain himself from causing trouble. I think we can already be satisfied with this situation."
A trace of Mars flashed in Hilo's eyes, but then he calmed down and said lightly: "Yes, I can really satisfy you."
He glanced at Gule: "I'll find a way to inquire. Heinx ran to see him, what did the two talk about. I'm very curious about when Darlingchen had such a close relationship with the Temple of Light."
Gu Le thought for a while and said, "In the northwest, there are people from the Temple of Light under Darlingchen's command. I heard that Montoya was serving under his command. Darlingchen rose in the northwest, and there must be the help of the Temple of Light. Your Majesty... I even suspect that when he fled from the imperial capital, the Temple of Light secretly helped him."
"..." Shilo was silent for a while and shook his head: "There is no need to be investigated for that matter. The matter has passed, and it is meaningless to pursue such matters now. You can ask for it. See what the relationship between the Temple of Light and him. If necessary... you can use some chess pieces buried very deeply."
Gu Le's expression turned solemn, nodded solemnly, and then turned around and went out.
Shilo sat there, his fingers gently knocking on the armrest of the chair.
"Master Lanhai's former residence... When did this Darlingchen have something to do with the late Master Lanhai. There is also the jar of wine buried underground in the yard... As a disciple of the master, I don't know about this, but how did he know that there was a jar of wine there? It's strange... When the master passed away, this guy hadn't come to the imperial capital yet."
...
The chirping sound of birds waking Lan Lan from her sleep.
She turned her body and felt the ubiquitous soreness that was coming from all over her body like a tide.
It was obvious that I woke up, but I felt that the feeling of fatigue was so clear!
Lanlan knew that this was a sign of his body being too tired and weak.
In the past six months, from sea to land, I almost never had a stable day all the way, and every day I was struggling on the line of life and death!
Whether it is mental, physical, or health, it has been seriously overdrawn! It is overdrawn!
This kind of overdraft cannot be compensated by just sleeping for a night.
Lan Lan forced herself to sit up, she took a deep breath, and listened to the chirping sound of birds coming from outside, and for a moment, she was a little dazed and dazed.
You can smell it in your nose, and the air is filled with the smell of fresh grass, which is a vibrant smell.
There is also the mixed and faint smell of floral fragrance.
What I heard in my ears was the chirping and singing of the bird...
This is a tree house—to be precise, a tree hole.
Lan Lan is not unfamiliar with this kind of tree hole. When she was practicing hard in the frozen forest, she once entered the tribe of the elves and lived in this kind of tree hole.
The tree hole is very small, and the hole is hung with green rattan, as if it is forming a simple curtain.
Lan Lan sat there, in a daze for a long time before finally finding a trace of inappropriateness from her seemingly slow mind.
She finally understood where the slightest feeling in her heart came from.
This...the birds scream?
Since we arrived at this abandoned continent, we have been dead along the way!
There are no wild beasts or creatures, no birds and beasts, or even snakes and insects here!
To be continued...
