Public trial?You deserve it too!

For him, as long as he can fulfill the Pope's order and completely wipe out Chaos, he doesn't care whether it is the Holy Kingdom or the Empire that will support them in the end—in other words, he may prefer the Holy Church to unify the continent.

After all, from the language of the other party, the emperor of the empire is not so respectful.

"This war is inevitable—and I heard your previous attitude very clearly, so I want to ask you, Your Excellency the Patriarch, do you support the Empire or the Church?"

The armor was silent, Claude was not in a hurry, he was patiently waiting for the result of his exploration.

"...You are right. With the current situation on the continent, as long as the empire defeats the Church State, there will be no hindrance in ruling the continent."

Kaos nodded, first approving Claude's previous words.

"As for my attitude, it doesn't matter, because I will not leave here, and neither will these mithril legions, we will just stay here and fight Chaos to the end of the world - this is the order given to us by the crown .”

Claude was a little disappointed. These words meant that the information he could get from the mouth of the ancestor, His Excellency, would be greatly reduced - because the other party chose to be neutral in the end.

"I really don't know much about that woman. After all, I was completely separated from the internal affairs of the Theocracy at that time, and I accepted this bondage before the death of Your Majesty. I came here and have been commanding the battle. ,until today."

"So I don't know much about many things that happened later, and I don't know much about them. After I received the news of His Majesty's death, I didn't care about anything that happened outside at all—if you really If you want to know the truth, then you can go out and find two people."

Kaos said this sentence unexpectedly.

This made Claude a little unexpected, because these words of his meant that the other party was biased towards the empire, rather than the holy religion and the church country founded by the crown he once admired so much.

"Although I went under the command of the Empress of the Empire, Mr. Alexander and Knight Vlad still stayed in the holy church and continued to assist the crown—and [Ark Project], which is the plan to continue human life, they are also with the I, too, volunteered to participate in the program.”

Claude's eyes widened in surprise.

"You mean...that His Excellency Alexander, and His Excellency the First Grand Duke of the Principality of Wallachia, are still alive?"

"Yes, they are all alive, as I said before, one of the few successful examples in the first two stages. It's just that there should be only two of them left in these successful examples—others After people entered this cave for the first time, they were all corrupted and eroded by Chaos."

Kaos affirmed Claude's words.

"This is also the reason why Your Majesty finally set his sights on Mithril. Chaos will infinitely magnify the distortion. Those reformers can hardly bear it in the face of such erosion, so none of them walked out alive, and the physical transformation was also destroyed. Totally gave up."

"After that, Alexander has been serving as a priest and responsible for teaching children, while Knight Vlad, with the support of his crown, restored the entire Wallachia and became the first Grand Duke. "

"Until I got out of the flesh and blood and came here, they were still the right-hand man of the crown. According to some later news, their status has never been degraded, so they died under the crown and expanded the Theocracy. They must know what happened here."

Then these words aroused Claude's deeper doubts.

"But if that's the case, then why did the Church Council and the elves divide Wallachia?"

Cavaliers' question was almost blurted out.

"Yes, this is also what I was puzzled about before—Knight Vlad attaches great importance to his clansmen. Although he can no longer enter the cave to fight against Chaos, His Majesty ordered him to be a war weapon against the elves and keep guarding the cave. In Wallachia."

"With his personality, it is impossible to sit back and watch his country be destroyed, let alone watch his own people being slaughtered—so something must have happened to him to cause the current situation."

Kaos' voice was a little sighed.

"Except for Vlad, with the character of Father Alexander, he will definitely stay in the Holy Church, and he will definitely stay in the later Church - because he will never betray His Majesty, and it is impossible for him to leave the Holy Church again. Taught."

"But there is also a problem. Alexander, like me, is the person who knows Your Majesty the best. If he remains at the top command of the Theocracy, he will definitely not allow the Theocracy to develop into what it is now - this is the same as before His Majesty. contrary to their wishes.”

Claude nodded slightly. He had thought of this before. In order to rise quickly, the first pope used the double-edged sword of religion. Therefore, in the later period of the era of the double emperors of the human race, he has been committed to removing the holy religion from the rule of the empire. class.

Even the other party did not hesitate to smear and belittle the holy religion and himself, just to let this deformed monster created by himself disappear in human society as soon as possible.

And the existence of the Theocracy made his efforts completely useless—not to mention, this mistake even became bigger and bigger, until now, a thousand years later.

"What you said before, I understand what you mean. You think that because of my beliefs, I will be more inclined to let the Theocracy rule the mainland, right?"

Kaos' tone was not angry at all, he just shook his head slightly.

"From the very beginning, His Majesty told me that the holy religion was created by him as a last resort. It is completely a specious thing. The existence of this kind of thing is like a scar on his face. As long as it exists for one day, it will disappear It will be hot and painful, and it will remind me what I have done."

"So those of us have always separated the holy religion from the majesty - without the holy religion, we will still do our best to follow the majesty, and if there is no majesty, then the holy religion is nothing to us significance."

"If Your Majesty wants the Holy Cult to grow, then we will do our best to do it—and what Your Majesty hopes is that the Holy Cult will disappear from now on, then we will still do it without hesitation."

Is there a separation between the cult of personality and the cult of faith...

Claude thought about it.

The establishment, development, and growth of the holy religion, of course, depended on these people who followed the first pope—but from the beginning, these people did not stay in this organization because of their belief in the holy religion, they just carried out their mission. It's just the orders of those who follow.

And these earliest founders of the Holy Cult will inevitably become the highest leaders of the Holy Cult later. If they are all taken away at once, then the entire Holy Cult will have no leader, and the organizational structure will collapse in an instant.

This behemoth will instantly fall from a monster that co-ruled the continent with the empire to a broken legend that can only be spread among the people. Then, with the development of the empire so far, it seems to be quite progressive. The influence of the holy religion will be greatly reduced Quick peel.

All this, as long as the first pope said softly - [he does not want the Holy Church to continue to exist], it is enough.

So this is the backhand of the first Pope... He knew that he had released a monster, so from the very beginning, there was a machete hanging around its neck, which could kill it at any time.

That's right.

Claude exhaled a breath, and now everything is right.

Compared with the feudal society, the way of governing the empire has improved so much, because it was left for them by the pope, and why the church state, as the existence really created by the pope, seems so backward and dirty is because he Just wanted to destroy it.

The first pope chose to let the empire be the banner of mankind, so he did his best to design the national policy and the concept of governing the country, and the church state, obviously, this country is not what the pope wants to create.

However, in order to erase the last bit of his influence, he chose to die naturally, without the supervision of the designer himself, the entire holy church destruction plan came to an abrupt end——

The female pope of the second generation forcibly continued this personality cult, allowing the Theocracy to continue to exist, and the other party may even be a genius. In the process of being a student, she really inherited the original Pope Knowledge and wisdom, and then have been using the same method to live to this day.

That's why, the empire is obviously a thousand-year-old emperor, with strategy and wisdom standing at the top of the world, but it still seems to be restrained in every way when facing the Theocracy-because the chess player who played against them, the first pope, learned fundamentally Knowledge beyond this world.

Then there is only one doubt left.

With the exhaustive means of the first pope, he will inevitably start to implement the plan to cut the bottom of the holy church in the last days of his life, and these people who have been loyal to the pope will definitely agree to this matter.

What kind of means did the second pope use to forcibly prop up the entire ruling class and maintain the continuous operation of the administrative institutions of the Holy State when the entire high-level of the Theocracy disappeared in an instant.

This is not just a few days or weeks, it will take at least several years, or even more than ten years, before it is possible to barely fill this vacancy!

And in this long period of time, she must replace the head of the entire Theocracy with one person's ability and energy, and directly distribute decisions and plans to the middle and lower levels, so that the Theocracy can continue to operate in an orderly manner.

It is equivalent to saying that the pope is really an army by himself-the workload she has to undertake is equivalent to stacking all the work of the emperor, the prime minister, the chief ministers of various ministries, and the deputy ministers.

What kind of idealistic superman is this?

Even if Claude scratched his head, he couldn't imagine that this is something that humans can do.

Hmm... something seems wrong?

Things humans can't do...

The knight narrowed his eyes.

If he remembers correctly, the system told him before that his senior time traveler... seems to be an intern teacher with students?

Bring students...

'system. '

【Um? 】

'I just thought that those chaotic shadows were originally high-concentration spirit bodies, and after they came to this world, they would become all kinds of monsters, and these monsters all conform to the rules of this world—— So if you came to this world without me, would you be the same as them? '

This question stunned the system.

[This... this... I really don't know, it should, maybe, be like this? 】

She hesitated and replied uncertainly.

'...Can you give me an accurate answer? '

【Well... With our ability, we don't really need a physical body to stay in this world, but similarly, we can't interfere with this world in our original form, because we don't belong to this world. If it affects the normal operation of the world, it will cause the erosion of chaos to deepen. 】

'So if you want to stay in this world and have a continuous impact on the world, you must need a physical body, and the best choice should be a human being, right? '

[Yes, after all, we are here to eradicate the erosion of chaos, and we can’t go the other way—this is why you, Teacher, entered the world before me.Your physical body is directly based on the laws of the world, and will not produce any abnormalities and chaos, but I can't. 】

[I have to wait until you have established a firm foothold in this world without any rejection before I can enter your body. As long as I don't use my power too presumptuously, I can completely avoid the possible negative impact on the world . 】

Claude nodded slightly.

He had an immature idea, but this idea was obviously too bold.

【Teacher, why did you suddenly remember to ask this? 】

'It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that if you could come out to help me like this ancestor, then I might save a lot of trouble. '

【Why?Uh...is that so...]

Claude lowered his brows and brought the incident lightly.

What should you do if the people closest to you are likely to betray you?

That's nothing to fear.

——Because from the beginning, I always assumed that.
