"Count, your information is really well informed."
Facing the menacing Salk, Moriarty just smiled and let the other man grab his collar.
"Hmph! The transport team from Rheinburg has only been to Windsor twice, and it has already convinced a large number of people to believe in the 'god of purification'. Don't tell me, this is not a stupid thing you invent!?"
Seeing someone with a meaningless look on his face, Count Salk was filled with hatred, but he couldn't really punch him, so he could only throw him back on the sofa with a cold snort.
"It was indeed my fault, but it was not a stupid thing."
Moriarty smoothed the wrinkles on his chest and said.
"You're saying it's not a stupid thing!? Even if you are a great arcanist, but you dare to put your hands into this circle, you will only end up with ruined reputation and death! I don't want to see Mathilde and little Augustus suffer from you
Implicated!"
Staring at Moriarty, Count Salk said sternly.
As someone who holds a high military and political position in the kingdom, he naturally understands how sensitive and touchy a thing "religion" is in Erathia. Not to mention that the current resurgence of the Church of Light has made the whole situation more complicated and dangerous. Ordinary people are afraid to avoid it.
Not as good as that, but the guy in front of me dares to establish a new religion on his own. He is really audacious!
"It's nothing, Count, it's nothing."
Moriarty shook his head, repeatedly asked the old man to sit down first, and then brought out the set of things he had told Bruno.
"It is precisely because the Church of Light intends to make a comeback that I will try to create such a 'Purification Church'. It does not rely on divine power or force, but only uses secular property as a lever to drive ordinary people closer to reduce and eliminate the breeding of the Church of Light.
Of course, the nobles also need to pay a small price for this and give some benefits to farmers and common people, but it is really insignificant compared to the damage and losses that the Church of Light can cause."
The other party is also a superior person. Therefore, Moriarty focuses on explaining his vision from the standpoint of the aristocracy.
"Strong words! With the 'Purification Church', can we prevent the infiltration of the Church of Light?"
The count stared, obviously not believing it.
“I’m not saying it’s perfect, but the effect is excellent. Especially when used together with ‘Baojia’.”
"Bao Jia?"
It was the first time that Earl Salk heard such a statement and he was puzzled.
"Baojia means sitting together. Let's not talk about the castle for now. In every village or town, one or more groups will be formed with church believers as the backbone to supervise and report each other. Whenever the Light Church appears or someone joins,
If someone is considered a heretic, he will be severely punished, his property will be confiscated, and his family will be demoted as a slave. The reporter can get one-third of the fine and confiscation as a reward. But if no one reports it or deliberately conceals it, once discovered, not only the heretic
If you are severely punished, the other people who protect your armor will also be severely punished."
No hurry, no slowness. Moriarty said slowly.
As the count listened, his face darkened, and his eyes turned cold.
The so-called Baojia means binding and coercing each other, making the villages and towns become cages without cells. Everyone is trapped in them without freedom, and they need to be on guard against each other at all times, so that there is no longer trust and cohesion among the people. In this way, the nobles
You can stay high and sit back and relax.
"Your 'Bao Jia Method' is indeed sharp. It's really a good strategy, and the nobles will definitely like it. But since you have Bao Jia, there is no need for that church to exist."
After pondering for a long time, the earl had to admit that "Baojia" is indeed a "good strategy" to stabilize the future rule of the kingdom. It is simple and easy to implement but can completely restrain the people. From the perspective of the nobles, it is indeed good and good. But as for "purification", simply
Erke was still very disgusted.
"No, it is precisely because 'Baojia' is so sharp that it needs to be led by the church." Moriarty has also been prepared for this: "Firstly, it will appease people's hearts and not make people resentful too much. Secondly, simply Baojia cannot isolate the Church of Light.
The penetration and erosion of true believers. You know the steadfastness and fanaticism of true believers, and they cannot be forced into submission by simple death and poverty."
"...It seems that you have made up your mind to deal with the Church of Light. Are you not afraid of the other party's revenge?"
Staring closely into Moriarty's eyes, the count suddenly laughed, but his smile was so chilling.
"Revenge? Haha." Moriarty also smiled lightly: "The Church of Light came to Windsor for a 'visit' not long ago. Is that also out of revenge?"
"this…"
"Earl, you and I both know that it is impossible for the nobility and the Church of Light to coexist. The hatred between the two sides is so deep that even if the world is destroyed, it cannot be eliminated. In this case, what reason do I have for not doing anything?
Where are you first?"
Moriarty spoke eloquently and his stance was upright, and for a moment the earl didn't know what to say.
"If you want to do something like this, and if you want to do it in a big way, you first need the approval of the royal capital."
After thinking about it, Earl Salk finally let out a long sigh and said helplessly.
"This is natural. But I think Her Majesty the Queen will not object to it."
Moriarty nodded, looking calm.
A few days later, when Augustus was full moon, a grand banquet was held in Windsor Castle to celebrate this "beloved son of heaven".
Including the semi-retired Viscount McLellan, all the Kent aristocrats and dignitaries came to congratulate each other, and the scene was extremely warm. At the beginning of the banquet, Moriarty announced in front of all the guests that his eldest son, Augustus, was the eldest son of Rheinburg and Olin.
The sole heir of Pace.
Upon hearing this, all the nobles immediately exclaimed, followed by thunderous applause.
With Augustus as the "cornerstone", the "Windsor-Rhine League" was formally established and truly entered the political stage of Erathia. It is conceivable that the infant in front of us will surely become a leader in the future.
The absolute leader of Kent County, he may even win the kingdom's tenth marquess crown.
Faced with this situation, the political consciousness in Kent County was finally completely unified. Even if there were any hidden ideas before, they no longer exist now.
An earl, coupled with a great arcanist and a practical viscount, this kind of power is of great importance not only in Kent County, but also in the entire Erathia. Even Her Majesty the Queen must treat her with courtesy.
As a result, the banquet that day was full of excitement and ended happily.
Two days after the banquet, the queen's messenger finally arrived at Windsor Castle.
But unexpectedly, there were two envoys with equal status in the visiting team, namely: Prince Haibo and Princess Betty. As for the accompanying captain of the guard, he was the deputy commander of the Royal Guards Corps.
Level Temple, "Golden Griffin" Cairns.
Facing such a lineup, even Count Salk, who had been prepared for it, was surprised.
The appearance of the two envoys revealed many intriguing things. (To be continued.)
