Chapter 79 The Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny

"It turns out that the king really failed"

At No. 99 Kerr Street, inside the Church of Truth, Ma Wei listened to the report translated by Xiao Hei, and his mood did not fluctuate much.

The failure of kingship was something he had anticipated long ago, and it was an inevitability of the times. You can't expect magical gods to submit to secular monarchs, can you?

Just like the singer civilization with the super weapon of the two-way foil will not bow to the earthlings, this is simply unrealistic.

Among the information brought back by the tabby cat, there is a crucial piece of information—the current focus of the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses is not to eradicate the small churches in the Kingdom of Windsor, but to have other plans.

This means that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will not use violent means in a short time.

It also means that war is coming.

Compared with the few small churches in the kingdom, it is more important to quickly grab the cake at the beginning of the advent of the gods. This is also the method that the Kingdom of Windsor has always loved.

After all, the wider the land, the more believers can develop, the more believers, the stronger the gods, and the stronger the church
If you focus on a few small churches in the kingdom, wasting time can indeed eliminate hidden dangers, but by the time you free up your hands, the cake will have already been divided.

so.
The development strategy of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is to temporarily appease other hidden dangers of instability, leaving a certain amount of power to monitor, and focusing most of its energy on how to divide the cake and strive for more benefits.

Is this behavior stupid?

Mavie didn't think so.

The Romanov Kingdom, which does not have a church, did not know for a while what great changes had taken place in other countries. Everyone also concealed the facts tacitly, and did not use violence if they could, so as not to be spotted by the eyeliners sent by the Romanov Kingdom. Clue.
Under the peaceful surface, there are actually undercurrents surging.

Of course, although the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny does not plan to take action against the small church immediately, it is always right to take precautions before they happen. Bishop Fowler, who is about to come to New Rose City, is bound to win over the fourth prince Arthur, as long as he can control it in advance Arthur, who is ambitious and has land jurisdiction, can't make any waves in the church in Wexford County.

A chain of plots, like a dark cloud, hit the Church of Truth.

"It's not easy."

Rubbing between his brows, Ma Wei felt a little headache.

As far as he knows, the fourth prince Arthur will not appear at the banquet tonight, but a few other nobles will come to see the priest who forced the Rosy Thief back.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Mavi doesn't mind deepening his relationship with other nobles, but the problem is that Father Satuk from the Church of the Three Fate will also be there.

He's going to mess it up, there's no doubt about it.

"Boss, do you think the fourth prince, Arthur, will submit to the Church of the Three Fates?" Levin asked.

"It's hard to say that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate is the state religion after all, and it is the actual power holder of the kingdom. Cooperation with them will naturally bring benefits. It is not impossible to get out of the sea of ​​suffering and return to the capital."

"Then what are we doing!" Levin glared, "Hurry up and run away!"

"It's just possible. Bishop Fowler hasn't come yet, and the horoscope hasn't been written yet. Don't be so hasty to make a conclusion, okay?"

Gazing at him blankly, Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "The fourth prince Arthur is an ambitious man, an absolute ambitious man. This kind of character may hardly have a chance to stand out in a prosperous world, but in troubled times, he will definitely not be buried."

"According to the rumors in the market, his consistent behavior, he should not immediately express his support for Bishop Fowler, but first stabilize the other party and find out the reason for Bishop Fowler's visit. No one will give up benefits for no reason. Benefits must have a reason.”

"By then things will have turned around."

"Transfer? What transfer?"

Levin raised his eyebrows: "You don't expect the fourth prince Arthur to reject Bishop Fowler, come and help us! Please, we are not his father, and we are not his mother. We are not relatives, so why should we give up? The hope of returning to the capital, help the Church of Truth without hesitation!"

"Because of ambition, absolute ambition."

Picking up the black tea and blowing off the heat, Mavi laughed lightly and said, "If the fourth prince Arthur just accepts Bishop Fowler's proposal and restricts the development of other small churches, then even if he returns to the capital in the future, he will have no chance. Competing for the throne, and once his three brothers ascend the throne and become the king of the Kingdom of Windsor, his life will definitely not be easy, and his life may even be in danger."

"Why no chance? The king is the center of power, everything is possible!"

"Do you know the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses?"

"...don't understand."

"That's right, if you know the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, you will definitely not be able to say what you just said."

Shaking his head, Ma Wei put down his teacup and patiently explained: "The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate is a polytheism with three branches. The great goddess Wilde is in charge of health, the second goddess Nande is in charge of wealth, and the third goddess Tild is in charge of evil. .”

"Polytheism is fundamentally different from monotheism. Just like the various political parties in the kingdom, only when foreign enemies come, everyone is a community of interests. There are not many open and secret fights in normal times."

"."

After listening to Ma Wei's narration, Levin's eyes suddenly became suspicious.

"King Rhodes IV has four princes, and they all have the right to inherit in name, but the fourth prince Arthur was expelled from the capital because of his lack of background, could it be?"

"You guessed it right. The first three princes were all supported by archbishops of different forces, so I affirm that even if the fourth prince Arthur returns to the capital, he will not be destined for the throne." Eyes narrowed, Ma Wei showed a slight smile. With a strange smile: "If he wants to become the king of the Kingdom of Windsor, he must use other means to get the support of other nobles and other churches. This is why he tried every means to win over the nobles and gentry of Wexford County."

"The nobles of Wexford County support him, and there are also factors that they are not welcomed by the Congress. If the fourth prince Arthur can ascend to the throne with their help, then the House of Lords of the nobles must have their support. A place."

"There is no good thing that falls in the sky, Levin. As long as you look at the essence through the appearance, you can't escape the shackles of interests and beliefs. This is human nature. Either greedy or noble human nature!"

Junia who was reciting the ninety-nine multiplication table with a sad face on the side suddenly turned her head and looked at her father with her eyes rolling.

She still remembered that when she went to the South Street Orphanage, she asked the fourth prince Arthur if he was a good person, and Ma Wei replied that, for the children living in the orphanage, the fourth prince Arthur was indeed a good person.

Mavi never said that he thought Arthur was a 'good guy'.
