Chapter 155 The Church and Heresy

The Holy Glory Empire, Wilson can still sit on the throne now, because the church is not very interested in this throne. The church only cares about power. As long as the power is in the hands of the church, Wilson II is just a puppet.

Secondly, it is because Wilson at least has a domain-level supporter, that is, Rama, known as the Imperial Gold and Silver Lion.

This also made Wilson II very frustrated. Rama, the realm-level, was regarded as the last fig leaf of the imperial royal family. To the outside world, the Wilson family is an imperial family, and has the wealth and resources of a huge empire.

However, in fact, most of the resources of the empire were occupied by the church. Almost all the resources offered by lords from all over the empire were provided to the church. The church only gave the daily expenses to the royal family. The army in Wilson's hands was just a royal guard army and two or three legions of the Duke Rama family.

The four legions are all the imperial army that can be used in Wilson II. In addition, they are all the Holy Light Legions trained by the church. It can be said that the true leader of the Holy Light Empire is the church. If you are a nobleman who does not know how to curry favor with the clergy of the church in the empire, you will not be a qualified nobleman in the Holy Light Empire.

This also led to almost everyone in the empire, whether civilians or nobles, who would have the teachings of the church and the habit of praying to the church.

Of course, the power of the church has greatly increased, and gradually a very distorted social form has emerged.

The clergy became the largest powerful people in the empire, but the number of clergy in the empire was extremely large. They did not work in production, did not have to manage things, but only needed to pray for the gods to promote doctrines.

This also led to extremely confusion in the empire. If the number of domain-level powerhouses in the church had not always maintained a large number, the Holy Glory Empire would have been swallowed by two nearby neighbors, and even bones were not left.

Moreover, because no one is restricted, the high-level powerful people in the church are busy practicing and serving gods, so this leads to a mixture of middle and lower-level clergy. Among them, there may be clergy who are dedicated to serving gods, but most of them are living a life that is even more decaying than the nobles.

Commoners and nobles need to let their daughters who have experienced the coming-of-age ceremony serve these clergy. Even if some clergy like young people, whether they are nobles or civilians, they must make their young children who are underage in their families contribute.

Because if the clergy disagrees to exorcise their daughters, these priests will say, heresy! They tied up all this family, sent them to the church square, and executed them in the name of heresy, which may be stolen, hanging, or even being punished as slaves. It is possible that they claim to be guilty and work for the priests is to clear their sins!

Moreover, the wealth of these people who were punished with heretics will be attributed to the church, or even to individuals, claiming that these things will clear the family from the sins in hell, allowing them to transcend after death and enter the kingdom of God.

In short, all these situations are known to Wilson II, but he is powerless.

Rama was also very clear about this. He even knew that if the family behind him had not been supported by him as a domain-level powerhouse, his daughter might have become a priest or a woman on the bed of a high-ranking clergy in the church, his son and family members would have become slaves to the church, and the wealth in the family would have become the private ownership of some people in the church.

With a secret sigh, Rama seemed to understand why Wilson II wanted to cooperate with these lunatics.

He even once saw the queen come out of a high-level priest's room. He knew that His Majesty could not have known it, but he also knew that His Majesty had agreed, so he should have endured it.

Although Rama wanted to turn the tables with the church, he knew that as long as he dared to take action, the church would never take care of it anymore, because he knew that the church had at least four domain-level powerhouses, among which the Pope was a veteran domain-level powerhouse.

The old guy who had ascended the position of pope since Rama's father and was already a realm-level old guy, Rama really didn't know what level that guy had reached.

"Your Majesty! Your decision will be the greatest blessing for the empire! But your Majesty rest assured that as long as I God comes, the church passed down by the heresy gods here will be punished and completely destroyed by my God. And your Majesty, you will immediately restore the authority of the empire with the help of my God! And your Majesty, all you need to do is to help the early stage and after the arrival of my God, let the people of the empire become believers of my God.

This should be a meager price to Your Majesty, right?"

At this time, the older man in the robes of the wizard were the first to respond.

Wilson II's expression remained unchanged. He was not a fool. He naturally didn't know what he thought in his heart. He smiled and said, "One Apostle! I will satisfy you as much as possible for your request, but I hope you will not refuse some necessary requests!"

"Of course, my Majesty! Your generosity is really admirable." The old man smiled and leaned over and performed a standard aristocratic ritual, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as my God comes smoothly, the heresies here will be completely eliminated, but now we still need to prepare the ceremony of my God's arrival as soon as possible."

Wilson II understood what the other party meant, 'Our focus is now for the arrival of the gods. As for the heretics, we cannot afford to provoke them for the time being, so we should wait until our gods arrive before teaching them a lesson!'

However, Wilson did not intend to let this group of outsiders help him directly, so he was not disappointed when he was prepared.

The two sides reached a cooperative relationship in such a tacit understanding. As the lord of the empire who had been frustrated for so long, Wilson II naturally knew very well and he often thought about how to deal with these church geniuses.

What he wants to rely on is the strength of this apostle. At least if the church really wants to attack him, he has a trump card at least.

And he also knew very well how dangerous these guys were. A group of messengers of evil gods would naturally know how dangerous it was. But Wilson II didn't care at all. He had enough. What he wanted now was to let these two lions fight.

The church and this evil god messenger are two fierce lions, while Wilson II is a weak hunter. When facing any lion alone, he is just prey. But if he faces a lion that is both defeated, he feels that he will be a real hunter!
