"The greatest legacy I leave to you is the title of Baron." Constance said proudly, holding her head high.
"Baronage," Quince hissed. He originally thought that Constance's inheritance was nothing more than properties, money, etc., but the aristocratic title of an imperial baron is definitely priceless outside.
After the surprise, Quins couldn't help but worry: "Can I really inherit this baronetcy?"
"Don't worry, I have notarized this baron title in the Church of Order and Nobility. Anyone with the baron succession document issued by me can be recognized by the church and the empire. The only thing that needs to be noted is that there may be traitors secretly at any time.
Pay attention, as soon as you show up with the inheritance document, the assassination may come at any time." Constance said.
Quins was speechless: "Don't the traitor know that you are a witch from the witch coven? How dare you come out to seize the inheritance documents? I think many people in the witch coven know your apparent identity."
Constance shook her head: "Only the members of the Parsonage Coven know each other's identities. As for our people, they will only think that we are just an ordinary small force in the mysterious world."
"What about the Church of the Mother of Snakes? Is it possible to reveal your identity to that traitor?"
Constance shook her head: "It's basically impossible, and how are you sure they didn't use the traitor as bait to lure out the members of the coven? This kind of thing has happened countless times before. But you have to think clearly, if you want
If you inherit my title, you will inevitably be exposed, the Mother of Snakes will definitely come looking for you, and people from the witch coven may mistake you for the traitor who killed me."
Quince touched his chin: "So this Baron is really hot to deal with."
Constance looked at Quins: "What about your decision?"
"Of course I inherited it. The barony of an empire is not so easy to obtain."
Constance: "It seems that those trump cards have given you a lot of confidence."
"No, I've always been very confident, it's just that those trump cards made me feel more free."
The difficulty in obtaining titles in the Neo-Ottoman Empire, from another perspective, also means that the imperial nobles are facing the authority of the civilian class. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the subject countries.
Just after Quins produced two documents from the imperial baron's retainers, the two were politely invited to the back hall by the staff of the Examination Bureau. Tea and snacks were carefully served one by one. In less than ten minutes, two new Ottoman
The entry documents for the Empire have been processed quickly, and you are treated like a VIP.
The reason why the time is not shorter is because there are still three people sitting in the back hall wearing luxurious attires, looking elegant and aristocratic. Needless to say, these people are the first imperial nobles who need to be treated with more caution and courtesy.
Look at the badges pinned to the collars of the three people. The badge is an equally divided circle, and inside is a delicate rapier crossed with a flag. Quines immediately knew that these three people were believers of the Church of Order and Nobles.
It is a common belief among nobles.
The closer you get to the Neo-Ottoman Empire, the stronger the religious atmosphere becomes. One out of three people is a believer in a certain god. This does not mean that the empire is governed by religion, but that as one of the three major empires, it rules a boundless territory and has a population exceeding
In this big country of 300 million, there are many churches that covet these believers who need to be enlightened.
This is true for the three major empires, among which the Sun Religious Kingdom is particularly serious. Almost half of the entire empire has been eroded by the Church of the Sun. There has been a tendency for the divine power to gradually overtake the royal power. It is the country with the most serious internal strife among the three empires. According to Quines The idea is that among the three major empires, even if they go to the New Machinu Empire and are wanted by them, they will not go to the Sun Religious Country. Instead, they will go to those small marginal countries, similar to Saruna where Quines was before, and the major churches will invest Their power is not enough, and some people have only heard the names of one or two gods in their lives.
The New Maginu Empire was famous for its iron-blooded character and its tough folk customs. It had the fewest believers who converted to the church, and they were generally light believers.
The Neo-Ottoman Empire has the most liberal atmosphere. Whether you believe in God or not, the Empire will not care about you. Of course, this God is officially recognized by the Empire. If it is an evil god, I'm sorry, but you will also be blacklisted by the Empire's secret department.
In the Neo-Ottoman Empire, there are six officially recognized churches, including the Church of Order and Nobility. This church monopolizes 60% of the upper-class nobility and is very influential in the upper class; the Court of Night and the Church of Steel and Steam, these two Quins has been in contact with them before, and finally it was the Church of Storm Ocean, the Church of Love and the Church of Winter.
Yes, there is no Sun Church. Look at what the Sun Church has done in the Sun Religious Country. Even a country with free folk customs like the Neo-Ottoman Empire has not recognized the status of the Sun Church in the empire. Of course, due to the power of the Sun Church, He has not been turned into a cult. He just symbolically allocated a few fringe cities to the Church of the Sun to build churches. If he wants to go deeper into the empire, I'm sorry, it's impossible.
Salisbury was sitting in the back hall, looking around curiously. This was the first time he had seen these things for entertaining nobles, so it was inevitable that he would take a few more glances.
The decoration style of the back hall is strict and orderly yet elegant. At first glance, it looks orderly and in the style of an aristocratic church.
Suddenly, Constance whispered: "Look over there, the woman diagonally opposite the noble couple, be careful not to be discovered."
Quins was stunned for a moment, and then he thought Breeze Scout carefully blowing in the direction Constance said. Immediately, a woman in her thirties with gorgeous makeup appeared in Quins' mind.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Quins asked in his mind, calmly.
"That's a masquerade person." Constance said with disgust on her face.
"Masquerade?" Quins wondered. This was the first time he had heard of it.
"The most notorious cult in the Neo-Ottoman Empire believes in the Lord of Love and is the sworn enemy of the Church of Love. You can tell by the name. This church, like the Thousand Faces of the Secret Shadow, is proficient in makeup. This woman may be a man. Of.”
"Uh," Quins couldn't help feeling queasy, "How did you recognize this person is from the masquerade party?"
"That person is so low-level, he smells obscene/evil even from afar."
"Why do you think this person appears here?" Quins's eyes darkened, and he still doesn't know what the masquerade is about.
"This woman's target is the aristocratic family of three. The purpose of the masquerade is to make people fall into the endless abyss of desire and become slaves of desire."
Quins touched his chin: "This church was really born in the wrong place. If in my previous life, their organization would have grown rapidly. So what should I do now?"
"Let's look at the situation first. If you can help, it will be an opportunity to quickly integrate into the upper class of Saint Dresden. You have no foundation in Saint Dresfes. Even if you become a baron, it will only be an empty title.
.”
"You're right, but just for this opportunity, is it worth getting into the masquerade?"
"Don't worry, even if you ruin the good things of the masquerade, their revenge will only induce you to fall into desire. As long as you can control it, it will be fine."
Quins's face darkened. What does it mean to be under control? What made you mistakenly think that I am a person who can be under control?
