Chapter 1176: Response
"So...... Instead of dying, the woman who founded the Dark Church killed the gods she served, and now she has become a true goddess?"
Sitting on a chair in the main hall of the kingdom's capital, Vilia frowned and listened to the news that Isolt had brought back, her face full of confusion and worry.
You must know that according to the original plan, after Kirwyn was eliminated, she planned to support the prince who made a deal with her, and tear a third of the territory from the huge fallen empire in one fell swoop.
But now, thanks to the sudden arrival of a god, everything has become confusing.
"Yes, please do not doubt my judgment, for that is what the master himself admitted. Isolt reminded with a serious expression.
"Master, could this be part of the master's plan?"
Maybe a god that popped up out of nowhere wasn't enough to make her feel intimidated, but if it had to do with a mysterious and dangerous master, it was a different story.
Especially after learning of Kirwin's miserable fate, she had already snuffed out the last trace of luck, and she didn't dare to do anything against the yang and the yin.
Isolt shook her head with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, although I'd love to give you a definitive answer, I really don't know anything. The master would not tell us his true plans to these servants at all. Because we are too weak to be part of such a grand project. Think about it, he can even turn a mortal into a god with his own hands, and he can do such an incredible thing, what else can't he do?"
"In that case, what attitude do you think we should take towards this new nation and the goddess of darkness who shelters it?" asked Vilia, tapping lightly on the armrest of her chair.
She could tell she was a little anxious now, just as all those who were used to dictating from above found things out of their control.
After all, religion has always played a role in spiritual opium on this road, assisting the aristocracy to extort tyranny from the people at the bottom, and making people believe that status and wealth can be passed on with the bloodline.
The descendants of the nobility will always be nobles, the descendants of serfs will always be serfs, and only a very small number of lucky people who are favored by fate are qualified to break the barriers before the class.
As for the magnificent idols enshrined in the main hall, they are only sculptures, and no matter what the clergy do, they will not be punished.
But now, suddenly, there is a religion with a true god standing behind him, capable of easily killing powerful tyrants.
This contrast is a challenge for any monarch.
Because they must now make a choice, whether to voluntarily cede some of their rights to embrace a religion that is destined to grow stronger and stronger, or to become its enemy and limit its spread within its own territory.
And most importantly, if the vast empire that had fallen into civil strife was carved up according to the original plan, would the goddess take revenge?
In any case, this is the first goddess in the world to appear in her true form and show her divine power in front of everyone, and no one can understand how a goddess's way of thinking is different from that of mortals.
Isolt pondered for a long time before taking a deep breath and replying, "I think you have only two ways for now, one is to build a magnificent temple after the other party, and declare the Dark Church to be the only legitimate religion in the kingdom in the future. Only then will your next plans not be thwarted. Because in the eyes of the gods, they don't care about all the struggles for power and interests in the world, they only care about one thing, and that is the number of believers and their influence on the world. The other is to abandon the expansion plan and join forces with the queen who is as bold as you are to divide the continent. ”
"Oh, you seem to admire the woman who killed her own father with her own hands?" said Vilia, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
This was the first time she had heard the old man in front of her praise someone, and the other party was like herself as a woman who ascended the throne in a complex political situation, so it was inevitable that she would have a strong curiosity.
You must understand that it is also a kind of courage to dare to kill your father, especially if you know the consequences of doing so, but still dare to stand up and bear the heavy sin. In addition, she is also particularly adept at using her beauty and power to win over her subordinates from the enemy's camp. That alone is enough to prove that she is not a proper king. In this regard, you are inferior to her. ”
Isolt is obviously not like the ignorant people, who only see the stain of killing his own father, but through this stain he perceives the real motive of the other party, that is, to help his father end his suffering.
"Really...... I'm really interested in her getting more and more rainy. What do you think about extending an invitation to come to the border to meet me?" Vilia's tone was full of emotion.
It may be sympathy, or it may simply want to take a look at their future opponents.
In short, she believes that it is necessary to have an open and honest conversation face to face, both for the complex situation now and for the possibility of a full-scale war in the future.
"I agree! You deserve to meet! If nothing else, you and she will benefit from this meeting. To be honest, I sometimes wonder if the master did it on purpose to let three women stand at the apex of this era to decide the future path of the world. Isolt seemed to realize something, and there was a strange glint in her eyes.
Vilia was visibly stunned when she heard this, but quickly smiled and shrugged her shoulders: "This world continued under the rule of men for several years, and it is time for women to be the masters. In this regard, I really admire the courage of the host, at least he gave us a chance to prove ourselves, didn't he?"
"I hope so!"
Isolt sighed noncommittally.
For some reason, he shuddered at the thought of the towering Tree of Chaos, as if something terrible was going to happen.
"Okay, don't be so sentimental. Ask the Royal Order to prepare, and it will trigger in three days. By the way, I sent a messenger to send a message to the queen, saying that I was waiting for her in the border town. ”
With that, Vilia stood up and strode towards the study on the second floor.
She couldn't wait to write a letter by hand, emulating the meetings between famous kings of the past and leaving a mark on history.
