Back then, William was able to ascend to the throne of the Kingdom of Alva as a "foreigner". On the one hand, it was the old king's promise, and on the other hand, it was the great assistance of the local Holy Light Bishop Hans.
William promised many benefits to Bishop Hans. Of course, in the final war for the throne, William insisted on isolation and massacred those noble children who accepted Bishop Hans's protection. This finally led to the break between William and Bishop Hans.
Naturally, those promised benefits were never fulfilled.
Because of this incident, the Holy Light Holy Court of the Kingdom of Alva has always had a deep grudge against the new king, William.
How can an ordinary king have the courage of William? Even if he cannot gain the favor of the Lord of Holy Light, he must strive for neutrality and not gain their disapproval.
Unlike the new king William, the attitude between the two directly escalated to hostility.
However, William was the founding monarch, and although he was often indifferent, after the massacre of the nobles and the push for grace, the power of the entire Kingdom of Alva was firmly in his hands.
Bishop Hans of the Holy Light Bishop's Court wanted to do something to subvert the royal power, but he couldn't do it.
The cardinals or popes of the Holy Light's Holy Court have the ability to directly depose the king of a country, but a mere bishop's ability is still insufficient.
However, if you want to "mix" in the secular world, then the Holy Light's Holy See is a big force that you cannot offend.
As a great wizard, William does not care much about the identity of a secular king, but the identity of a king may be able to give William unexpected help in this fairy tale world that attaches great importance to bloodline, so he can do it without affecting his own interests.
Next, William still wants to retain this "waistcoat" identity.
This also means that William must ease his relationship with the Lord of Holy Light.
The main thing is to ease the relationship with Bishop Hans and not let him think about how to subvert William's rule every day. This is more or less a trouble. If he is lucky enough to die and let him find out that William is a wizard, then the follow-up will be even more difficult.
trouble.
Therefore, after William returned from the small town of Lansner, William released a lot of goodwill to the Bishop of Holy Light, or more directly, to Bishop Hans of the Kingdom of Alva, such as giving directly to the local Holy Light.
The bishop's court donated a large amount of gold coins, including many of the benefits previously promised, which were also honored one by one.
Many worldly interests are nothing to William, a guy who pursues the pinnacle of wizarding.
Besides, a lot of wealth was obtained from the homes of those rebellious nobles. Although a large part of it was rewarded, the remaining wealth was also very considerable.
William donated a large amount of his wealth to the local Holy Light Holy See. Even Bishop Hans was moved.
In addition, Bishop Hans actually did not want to have such a stalemate with a powerful monarch.
This will cause his local faith harvesting activities to be affected, and his evaluation from the upper echelons of the Holy See will also be reduced.
Now that William took the initiative to show goodwill and provided practical benefits, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up after going back and forth.
Although Bishop Hans still had a grudge in his heart, he still had some outward skills.
Without the explosive relationship between royal power and religious power, many people in the entire Alva Kingdom secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The development of the kingdom has therefore entered the fast lane and become more prosperous.

William's return to the secular world was not without reason. The main reason was to use the power of the secular world to contact the Holy See of Holy Light and see if he could find out from the Holy See's intelligence information about the bloodline of the gods that the magic mirror could not detect.
However, now that he has returned to the secular world and regained power, William has to do many things.
A few months later.
As the monarch of the New Kingdom of Alva, William was invited by the Kingdom of McKenzie in the northwest of the mainland. He took several hundred troops with him and came to the Kingdom of McKenzie on the Cairnrest River via the neighboring Principality of Sumaiva in the north.
In the nearby royal city of Orkney, attend the Thanksgiving Ball of His Majesty Prince Philippe Carl Medea Aosta of the Kingdom of McKenzie.
The Kingdom of McKenzie is located at the end of the Cairnlist River, which leads directly to the sea.
In fact, there are three other countries near the Cairnlist River, all of which are William's "old acquaintances".
Here William got the white snake meat that can understand the language of animals, he also got the golden apple that can be used for a lifetime, and he got the wizard attribute of earth attribute and affinity.
But this is all in the past tense.
The entire White Snake Nest was destroyed by William, and I don't know if the "wise" old king can take full control of the entire country like before.
But it has nothing to do with William.
The focus now is on Prince Philippe Carl Medea Aosta.
As we have said before, the McKinsey Kingdom is located near the sea.
Prince Philippe Carl Medea Aosta, who is handsome and has a pair of charming black eyes, boarded a big boat without permission, wanting to feel the majesty of the sea.
But the sea is moody.
Unfortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Philip encountered a storm.
The entire ship was capsized, and many sailors perished in the sea, but only His Royal Highness Prince Philip was lucky enough to be knocked back into the river by the waves, and floated to the Vatican Church on the river bank, where he was rescued by nuns in the church.
The devout king believed that this was the favor of the Lord of Holy Light, so under the auspices of the Lord of Holy Light, he specially held this evening party with the theme of thanksgiving to the Holy Light, and invited many nobles and high-level officials of the Lord of Holy Light.
Come and participate.
It was against this background that William was invited.
This continent is very keen on holding such banquets or dances, and kings or princes from other countries often attend. Perhaps enjoyment is one thing, and the other is for the exchange of information and benefits.
If it were William before, he would not be willing or able to attend such a banquet.
Even if he is invited, William usually refuses directly - because the real king is often not in the palace.
A dignified third-level wizard would be a red-robed witch in the realm of a witch, and would be a red-robed archbishop in the realm of the Holy Light. Participating in such a banquet is like an adult watching a child play house.
Very boring.
But there is no way, since William has chosen to temporarily return to the secular world, some things cannot be avoided.
Moreover, these nobles control the secular power on the entire continent, and there may be unexpected gains from them.
In fact, the most important point is that the experience of Prince Philip made him feel a little familiar.
This is the whole reason William is willing to come here.
