From a historical perspective, from the Middle Ages to the present for nearly a thousand years, whenever the Holy Empire had the opportunity to revive, all kinds of "unexpected" situations occurred to interrupt it. John couldn't help but suspect that those countries seemed to be secretly forming an anti-Sacred World.
Like the Imperial Alliance, for example, when the Eastern Holy Empire was destroyed by the Odes pagans, the Europa country headed by the Church of Light clearly had the opportunity to rescue it, but few of them actually took action.
Is it because of interest? But the Eastern Holy Empire was destroyed, and even the closest neighbor, Venetian Commercial Federation, did not do their best to save it. Don’t they know the reason for the loss of lips and teeth?
Moreover, the demise of the Eastern Holy Empire is not only of no benefit to other Europa countries, but it loses a barrier to resist the invasion of evil pagans.
This made John feel heavy and doubted the problem.
On the contrary, John actually didn't care too much about the belief issue that William III was considering.
Because as long as he is willing, he can help Claudius, the legendary ancestor spirit, to ascend to the gods at any time. Not to mention that he has the mysterious magical arts known in his previous life, the road to the gods is coming to him.
It is not difficult to say, but not to mention anything else, just twelve Golden Paladins can rely on more than 100,000 federal believers to ascend to the throne at any time.
Moreover, the Holy Light Church, founded by himself through the Twelve Golden Paladins, has developed very well and is enough to receive the faith power that can help Claudius break through the threshold of the Godhead.
Of course John didn't say this explicitly, after all, it was too early.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the atmosphere of faith in our country in Emsdan has not been too strong. I don't think there is any need to worry about the issue of the Knights Church. That Majesty is not so keen on missionary preaching!"
William III smiled bitterly: "Of course I know what you said, but caring is a mess. For us, Heisencel, the title of God is a major matter of life and death, and we have to act cautiously."
As a former commercial federation, Emsdan once developed into the world's first maritime power as a small state of the Holy Empire and his narrow land. His private commerce was prosperous, so he was naturally not a devout believer country.
Since the early Icon Destruction Movement, Emsdan's predecessor broke free from the control of the Holy See of Light. Later, various Protestant factions attempted to occupy the faith of this region or country, but none of them were completely realized until the King of Knights became the leader of the Knights
God, Emsdan, the land of the land is like most of the Holy Empire affiliated with the blood of the Zeman people, and is the official belief of the King of Knights.
Although due to historical reasons, there are still many people in China who believe in the Lord of Light, but more of them are a beautiful yearning for light, rather than the extreme believer model that excludes all other beliefs. At the same time, they also believe in knights.
The king will also worship modern emperors and ancestors, which are all acts prohibited by the church of light.
And these are actually changes brought about by the subtle influence of the sacred empires in previous dynasties.
When the New World was founded, in the New World, which was called the Desert of Faith on the Old World, the people and officials of Emsdan were even more indifferent to the attitude of the Holy See.
Moreover, because the King of Knights was once the Emperor of the Holy Empire, he had already gained a lot of faith power from the admiration of the people of all generations. He was also a god with knights as his clergy. As long as the profession of knights still exists,
We can continuously gain power from the clergy, so we are not very enthusiastic about folk missionary preaching. Not to mention Emsdan, even the most core areas in the Holy Empire have no longer seen the churches that were above the royal power in the medieval period.
The situation happened.
So John believes that William III's concerns may be possible, but they are not obstacles to Claudius's destiny. There is a possibility of peaceful coexistence between the Church of the Knights and the Heisencel family.
Probably not small.
Of course, after knowing the concerns of William III, John did not continue to persuade him, but asked about the situation in Sands.
"Your Majesty, what's going on in Sands? Is the Kingdom's takeover of this great state smooth? "
William III replied:
"With the cooperation of the young Luxi'an and his son, those families have also obtained their respective fiefs and titles. So far, the cooperation has been pretty good. All the city governments have been completely taken over by the officials we sent, and we have arranged them in the parliament.
As for the countryside and local towns, the kingdom just sent tax officials to check taxes and did not over-intervention in the operation of the local area. After all, Sands State just surrendered, so this kind of thing cannot be rushed. As the royal family, it is not easy for us to do it.
Too much has made those families have a rebellious heart and absent from the royal family. I think after more than ten years and the next generation grows up, these nobles of aristocrats should be like the original domestic nobles, knowing that they are beneficial to the royal family.
The community is standing on the same front."
"What about the reward for Uncle Lucian?"
This is something John cares more about, after all, these people are closest to him in this world.
William III smiled:
"Don't worry, can I still treat my own people badly? Lucian is still the rank of Count, but I will all share the port of Jinsha Port, half of the grape valley in the east, and several wealthy towns in the south.
As a territory, although Xi'an is relatively not too large for all considerations, it is the richest and most of the areas in it. Most of it was originally the industry of your family, and its annual production is no less than hundreds of thousands of pounds.
It should be clearer than me."
John was quite satisfied with what he said.
"That's good. Although those places have the industry of Heisencel's division, the reputation is not right. There are still some local snakes and other forces involved in it. Now it has become the real Heisencel's division.
After the fiefdom, Uncle Luxi's side should be able to rule these places with justification."
But John was still a little unsatisfied because he did not forget that there was a brother's soul in the fate card. He obtained the identity of Klaus and the throne he deserved. Although it was a last resort, he was not in the original intention.
John inevitably feels indebted in his heart, so he should leave a benefit to the resurrected Klaus in the future.
You should know that he was nominally a knight vassal of the Heisencel family, but in fact he was also a family bloodline. He grew up together, and Klaus never regarded him as an outsider, but was more like Henry's cousin than Henry's cousin.
Dear brothers.
The brotherly relationship between them, whether it is Lucien and Henry, or later William III and Aunt Helena, cannot be compared with them.
"Since you have occupied your throne, I will give you a kingdom..."
Apparently John had already set his sights on the newly encamped New Franmino State.
Although New Franmingo State is affected by the arid climate and landform of Haigar, most of which are also arid areas, compared with the other half of Haigar, the environmental conditions are much better than that of France State in Haigar, the other half of Haigar.
The part bordering the Salt State in the north is also a warm and comfortable subtropical monsoon climate. Not only does natural disasters occur, but there are also a mountain range that blocks the heat from the south. It is definitely a good place for human settlement and reproduction.
Moreover, the land of hundreds of thousands of square miles is much larger than the area of Jinsha Port, and it contains many minerals. Compared with the country that only has tens of thousands of square miles on the old continent, it is definitely a considerable land. 1603364072
