Chapter 547: Famous Holy City (5)
In order to avoid the disadvantages of divine power overpowering royal power, there are many high-level priests and holy warriors among the three major royal families of the Radiant Empire, they are originally devout disciples of the three gods of Radiance, needless to say, the Casillas family is simply the bloodline of the gods, and the bloodlines of the other two royal families have also been optimized for hundreds of generations, all of them are first-class high-level bloodlines, and it is not a problem to grow into high-level priests and holy warriors after serving as priests, and at least one-third of the real power factions in the high-level of the temple system are from the three royal families. In this way, the Radiant Empire achieved a high degree of unity between divine power and royal power.
Among them, the highest achievement is naturally Shulk Casillas, who is the archbishop of the Temple of Dawn, as the spokesperson of the Lord of Dawn in the mortal world, and the power of the strongest of the three temples of the Temple of Dawn is firmly controlled by him, which is one of the reasons why the Casillas family has gradually become the head of the three royal families in recent centuries.
There is also a gossip circulating among the royal family, that is, the reason why Christina renounced her belief in the Lord of the Dawn but was not punished by the family, in fact, is exactly what Shulk meant, because Shulk is worried that once Christina becomes a believer, she will thin out the favor of the Lord of Dawn on her and affect her rights, so she is happy to see Christina stay out of the matter, but silently support it in secret.
Of course, no one dares to say this kind of thing openly, Shulk has been in charge of the Sanguang Council for a hundred years, and the emperors of the previous empires are just puppets under him, and they have long been the uncrowned kings of the Radiant Empire.
So as soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, no one dared to squeak anymore.
"Christina, come and sit here."
Shulk patted an empty chair beside him as he spoke, and the expressions of everyone around him suddenly became a little strange, because the chair had an owner, the old duke of the Tanzani family in one of the three major royal families, but in recent years, the old duke Shou Yuan has been bedridden and unable to participate in the parliament, but the seat has always been reserved for him.
Can this chair be sat on casually, the three major royal families have spread out and multiplied so far, not to mention the branches and descendants add up to more than hundreds, and the total number of qualified to sit here is not more than twenty, what does Schulke mean by this?
I can't help but think about it too much, this is the case in politics, sometimes a look, a movement has a special meaning, hint, people who don't know how to think more and think carefully in this regard are not qualified to participate in this kind of power game, I believe that with Schulke's personality, it is impossible to do such meaningless things as he wants.
However, no matter what Shulk meant, Christina didn't move, only to see her nod and salute and then said: "Thank you Your Highness for your attention, but I am not qualified to sit in that chair, I know this very well, if there is any problem, Your Highness will ask me directly." ”
This is clearly not to give Schulke face, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Schulke, but Schulke was not annoyed, just smiled and said: "Why be presumptuous, this chair will be yours sooner or later, if you don't sit, which of those boys of the same age as you dare to sit, do you want the council to succeed no one?" ”
Now everyone's expressions are a little subtle, and I don't know if the bloodline of the three major royal families has been accumulated and optimized to a sufficient extent, in Christina's generation suddenly came a big explosion, not only Christina's Dawn Light bloodline purity is unprecedented, but most of her peers in the three major royal families also have extremely excellent bloodlines, which has been greatly improved compared to the elders, which has also led to the emergence of strong people in her generation, such as Lin, not to mention that there are many outstanding people in the side branches, She's just one of the strongest.
Not to mention anything else, there are two people with the same name as her, namely Hammurabi Taton of the Taton family and Dalin Tanzani of the Tanzani family, all of them are the eldest sons of the family lineage of pure blood, all of them are young and extraordinary under the age of twenty, their rapid growth and excellent bloodline make their elders envious and jealous, they and Christina are collectively known as the "Three Rising Stars", and they are outstanding representatives of the younger generation of the Radiant Empire.
However, unlike the deviant Christina, Hammurabi and Daelin have both embarked on the orthodox career path of the family, with Hammurabi being the paladin of the Twilight King and Dahrin being the priest of the Moonlight, both of whom are already in high positions in the temple system, and their future status is simply predestined.
If there is no accident, the future position of Tanzani and the patriarch of the Taton family will inevitably fall on the two of Hammurabi and Dalin, but Christina is different, it is good that she is not expelled if she violates the family tradition, so she will be at most a family elder in the future, and exist as the high-end force of the family.
However, according to Schulke, he suddenly put Christina in the position of the leader of the younger generation, according to him, if Christina does not join the parliament, then no one else is eligible?
What are you kidding, this is to block the way of the young people of other families!
Now the others don't do it, no matter how majestic Shulk is, no one is willing to compromise on this kind of thing, and at that moment, a silver-haired middle-aged beautiful woman stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness Shulk, what do you mean by this, please make it clear!" ”
She is Sansa Tanzani, Dalin's aunt, a devout priest who has never married and dedicated everything to his family and the goddess of moonlight, Dalin, who lost his parents very early, can be said to have been raised by her, like a son, she has long planned for Dalin's future, how can Shulke suddenly interfere?
"Calm down, Lady Sansa."
Shulk still smiled kindly, and said softly: "I think you misunderstood me, I have no intention of hindering the progress of the younger generation, I just hope that Kristina will not be excluded, she should have her own place in the council, right?" ”
Sansa breathed a sigh of relief, obviously she didn't really want to turn her face with Shulk, she glanced at Christina and said, "This is Christina's own choice, she can't join the council without believing in the three gods of radiance, it's not my decision, it's a tradition that has always been there, in fact, I like Christina very much.?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, the people of Tanzani and the Taton family around him all agreed, in fact, Christina's deviance back then, in addition to the Casillas family's heartache, the other two families didn't know how to be happy, it was enough to be suppressed by a Shulk for hundreds of years, and they didn't want to have a stronger Shulk in the future, so the exclusion of Christina was almost a tacit joint decision of the two families.
