Chapter 619 Doomsday Party (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
In addition to the bill on potions, the meeting also discussed the establishment of the Educators' Association. With the impetus of the eldest prince and the king, the Educators' Association bill was successfully passed. If there is no accident, the position of the president must belong to Arthur. stuff in the bag.

Compared with the Association of Educators, most of the members paid more attention to the specific content of the first phase of the potion bill. The draft proposed by the cabinet was rejected by the votes of the members, and many clauses had to be changed.

It is normal for the bill not to be passed, even if it is a policy proposed by the cabinet, but the potion bill concerns the interests of too many people, and these vested interests are precisely the makers of the bill. When the two factors are combined, it is very It is difficult to have a fair and just situation.

Selling potions is good for the kingdom, but not much. This is a business belonging to the church. The kingdom can get some profit from it at most. The real big head is in the hands of the church. The balance of power is tilted towards the church. The kingdom's right to speak is doomed It plummeted.

After this incident, Prime Minister Winston fully realized that Congress and even the kingdom have gradually become puppets in the hands of the church. They have begun to intervene in legislation. If things go on like this, will the king still be the king?

At the end of the meeting, Prime Minister Winston hurriedly found Rhodes IV, found a quiet room, and expressed his worries.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen the scene at the assembly. More than 8% of the members chose to support the church, and the two princes are getting closer to the church. This is a very terrible phenomenon. The influence of the church on the Kingdom Act is increasing. Deep!"

Rhodes IV smoked a cigar, looked into Winston's eyes, and said after a long time: "I understand, but this is an irreversible fact. God has descended, and the kingdom's power cannot compete with the church. To maintain political stability, We can only compromise with the Church."

"But this is not good for the Kingdom of Windsor!" Winston said loudly: "The church is the church, and the kingdom is the kingdom. If the church can replace the kingdom, what do we need the king to do? Your Majesty, we can't sit still!"

"Winston, watch what you say and do."

Rhodes IV said with a blank expression: "You are the prime minister of the kingdom, some words should not come out of your mouth."

"Your Majesty, don't you have the slightest idea of ​​resistance?" Winston looked at the strange king in front of him in shock: "The power belonging to the kingdom is being usurped by the church! If this continues, we will bow our heads to the church Praise the vassal!"

Rhodes IV did not speak. He stared at Winston calmly with a cigar in his mouth. There was silence in the room. After a while, Winston couldn't stand it any longer. A voice came: "Winston, I have indeed seen your loyalty to the kingdom and to me, but I think you have misunderstood me."

"His Majesty?"

Winston turned around with a puzzled face: "What do you mean?"

"Do you like watching plays?"

"I don't like it." Winston shook his head: "I'm not interested in drama or art."

"I like it very much. Occasionally, I will go to the Covent Royal Opera House to watch Miss Helena Sheffield's drama performance. She is an excellent drama actress." Lord IV said.

The sudden mention of Covent Royal Opera House and Helena Sheffield caught Winston's attention. Rhodes IV is not a king who likes to talk nonsense. When he mentioned drama and Helena Sheffield, he definitely It has a purpose, as for what it is.
Winston frowned and said, "Isn't Helena Sheffield the lover of His Royal Highness Charles? Don't you, Your Majesty?"

"You misunderstood me again." Rhodes IV breathed out a puff of smoke: "I have never met Miss Helena Sheffield in private, and I will not break the beautiful distance between the audience and the actors, let alone her. No extravagant thoughts, just as a friend, I am recommending her drama to you."

"Understood." Winston nodded and said, "I will go to Covent Royal Opera House to watch a performance by Miss Helena."

"Just tonight." Rhodes IV said, "At 7:1 tonight, Miss Helena will perform the play "King John" at the Covent Royal Opera House. I have already reserved a seat, Box [-], no be late."

Hearing the play "King John", Winston couldn't help but twitch his cheeks. Although he doesn't like drama and art, it doesn't mean he knows nothing about drama, especially Shakespeare's works.

The story of "King John" is not complicated. It tells the life of King John. As the most unpopular King of Windsor in history, King John was called the "most incompetent" monarch and was notorious. He not only persecuted the heir to the throne, He also plundered the church, had conflicts with the Holy See, and finally ended up being betrayed and poisoned to death by monks.

At this delicate juncture, Rhodes IV invited himself to watch the play "King John", obviously with some deep meaning.

"I'll be on time."

After bowing and saluting, Winston turned and left the room.

7pm, Westminster City, Covent Royal Opera House.

In the mist of the night, the guests in bright clothes walked into the opera house gracefully. The Covent Royal Opera House was gilded and shining, and the six huge white jade stone pillars at the door were magnificent. Field's performance poster, above is the introduction of tonight's play "King John".

The drama to be performed that night is generally decided by the theater, but you can’t stop some wealthy guests from having a sudden whim and want to watch a certain drama, as long as they are bold enough, the theater will arrange it for the guests.

The performance of "King John" tonight is a performance arranged by a mysterious wealthy businessman who spends a lot of money. Although the specific name has not been disclosed, Prime Minister Winston has already guessed a little in his heart.

Inside the unremarkable carriage on the street, Prime Minister Winston watched the guests entering the theater through the gap in the curtains. Most of them were the upper class of the Kingdom of Windsor. They looked very familiar, and several Prime Ministers Winston could still call out their names.

For example, Felix von Manstein, who just got out of the carriage and entered the theater alone without a female companion, came to watch tonight's performance. Regarding the matter between Felix and Helena, Wen Stone had heard about it, but wasn't surprised.

Helena is a beautiful actress. This can be seen from the poster. It is normal for such a beautiful woman to have many suitors. Disputes and rifts between two nobles over a woman happen from time to time. Not surprising at all.

The expensive circle is very chaotic, but Winston is an insider, so he can't comment on it.

Customers walked into the theater one by one, and it was 7:25 in the blink of an eye. The performance was about to start, and fewer and fewer guests entered the theater. Winston, who didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, entered the theater at the last time. Under the leadership of the staff, came to the No. 1 box.

dong dong!

"Enter."

In the box, Rhodes IV was alone, sitting in a chair, holding a glass of red wine, and the curtain was drawn in the box, so that outsiders could not check the situation inside.

"It's none of your business here." Rhodes IV said softly.

The staff who escorted Winston nodded, silently exited the box, and closed the door smoothly. Rhodes IV pointed to one of the two empty chairs next to him: "Sit, Winston, don't be too restrained."

Winston sat down, and Rhodes IV personally poured him a glass of red wine, which made him even more confused: "Your Majesty, what exactly are you calling me here for?"

"Watch a play."

"But this is the property under the name of the Marquis of Bracken!" Winston said: "The news that the king is here will spread soon!"

"As soon as they know it, it's not the first time I've come."

Just as Winston was about to ask questions, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an old man in a black suit, with gray hair, hooked nose, and dark eyes walked into the box, and sat at the end under Winston's surprised gaze. An empty chair.

"Winston, let me introduce you."

Rhodes IV raised his glass to the old man: "This is James Morea, a professor of mathematics at Oxford University. Morea, this is Winston Churchill, the prime minister of the kingdom."

"Prime Minister Winston needs no introduction. Who doesn't recognize him?"

Professor James Morea grinned and showed a serious smile: "Your Majesty, this is the first time you have brought outsiders to summon me."

"Winston has shown me that he is loyal and he can be trusted."

"I trust Your Majesty's judgment."

The two chatted one sentence at a time. It was obviously not the first time they met. Winston, who was confused, took a gap and asked, "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

"Oh, Winston, I was very moved by your speech this afternoon. I said that you misunderstood me. This is not empty talk." Rhodes IV said: "Professor James Morea will help us break away from the church." Take control."

"He's a mathematics professor."

In the middle of the conversation, Winston suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, the venue for your appointment is Covent Royal Opera House, where the Marquess of Bracken's eyeliner is! Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

No matter what Rhodes IV wants to do, private meetings cannot be discovered, this is common sense!
"No matter how tight the defense is, there will still be flaws, and the flaws often appear in the interior that is not easy to detect." Rhodes IV shook his glass and said lightly: "There are still many people who are willing to serve the king. Princes are just princes. Before becoming a king, the deterrent power of a prince is far less than that of a king."

Winston was stunned for a moment. He had only served as Prime Minister for a few years. During these years, he had dealt with Rhodes IV a lot. He claimed to know the king better. But this time, what Rhodes IV did, It was completely beyond his expectations.

Just like an old man who was originally kind and kind, suddenly took off his mask, revealing his hideous and terrifying face.

"Professor James Morea is the helper I chose. It should be said that he found me on his own initiative." Rhodes IV smiled: "As early as more than ten years ago, he told me about the coming of the gods. Yes, five years ago, I was told the exact date of the coming of the gods."

"what?!"

Winston was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and looked at James Morea in disbelief: "Even the church doesn't know the date of the coming of the gods, a mathematics professor. Don't tell me that it is calculated by mathematics." Yes, even a three-year-old would not believe such a lame lie."

James Morea said calmly: "Mathematics can do many things. I always believe that mathematics and physics can analyze theology, but at the current level of the mathematics world, it is impossible to analyze the gods, so I don't use mathematics. Those who know the date of the coming of the gods."

"then you are"

"Your Excellency, have you heard of the Doomsday Party?"

"Of course." Winston nodded: "The Doomsday Party is a group of lunatics who crazily preach that the end is near. This organization has existed for many years. It should be said that no matter what period, a group of people will jump out and say the end of the world, but what happened? The world is still running smoothly and has not been destroyed!"

"The Doomsday Party is a bunch of lunatics, but they're not all lunatics, I mean, I don't think I'm a lunatic." James Morea said: "The Doomsday Party has existed longer than any civilization has existed. It seems to be a mess, but in fact there is a rigorous organizational structure, which survives in the cracks and continues to this day."

There was no embarrassment on Winston's face. He glanced at Rhodes IV and asked again: "You haven't answered how you knew the exact date of the coming of the gods."

"Inheritance." James Morea replied: "Our rally is definitely not a whim, just like the circus on the street, but based on the prophecies handed down by the ancient prophets, among which there are specific details of the coming of the gods. date."

"Prophecy what prophecy?"

"The doomsday prophecy. 2000 years ago, Nereida, the God of Apocalypse, left a stone tablet with his prophecy for future generations. The specific date of the god's arrival is engraved on the stone tablet."

James Morea, who felt that these words were not enough to convince Winston, said again: "Five years ago, the fuse of the Pereia naval battle was not that the St. Matil fleet robbed the merchant ships of the Popang Kingdom, but It was because the St. Martial fleet accidentally ran into the Wisdom God ship returning from the Dead Sea. On that ship, the upper half of the stele was carried. When he learned that the St. Martial fleet had snatched the stele, the Wisdom God became angry. The teaching and talent united with the royal family to launch the Pereia naval battle."

"The naval battle of Pereia ended with the defeat of the Kingdom of Windsor. The Cult of Wisdom regained the stele and interpreted the prophecy on it. The doomsday party's eyeliner in the Cult of Wisdom conveyed the content on the stele, so we know that the gods are coming. specific date."

James Morea stared at Winston's staring eyes: "The Doomsday Party has always been hidden in human society. Any piece of land, any country, has traces of the Doomsday Party's activities. We never interfere with the rise and fall of the human country. It will only regroup when the gods recover."

"why?"

"Because gods are the source of all disasters!"

James Morea yelled loudly, just as Helena Sheffield's singing overwhelmed his voice, and everything was as precise as a clock, as if the time was right:
"If there were no gods in the world, how many innocent casualties would be avoided? Humans don't need gods! Humans can replace them and steal the throne of gods!"
