Chapter 498 (2/2)
”Sorry, I said the opposite... Not 'are you on drugs?'... But 'how much are you high'?!”
”If! I mean if... The theory of mystics can be used to prove the existence of the Holy Cross. If all the rules of the world, the conclusions and phenomena we find are created by the Holy Cross...”
Lauren ignored Brandon who ”looked at the fool's expression” and explained helplessly: ”what if the wizard becomes an organization under the jurisdiction of the Holy Cross Church... Or, in other words, accept the supervision of the church?”
”It may not be smooth at the beginning, but in the long run... The theory of wizards will become the theoretical basis of the Holy Cross Church's belief and the theory supporting them; while the church can provide very huge resources to make people all over the Empire and even the world believe that the wizard class is protected by the Holy Cross!”
”In this way, wizards provide the expansion urgently needed by the church, and the church can give wizards legitimacy... The two sides have become a completely complementary cooperative relationship; as for the original contradiction... In the face of interests, contradictions can be discussed.”
The voice fell, and Brandon's surprised expression gradually disappeared and didn't reply.
They continued to walk deeper into the palace. More and more royal guards passed by, and the majestic parliament hall was close at hand.
”So... How did you convince him?” Brandon looked as usual, but his eyes were more dignified.
Loren chuckled and his steps became much lighter.
”I can tell him that it is difficult or impractical to do this... It is not easy to get them to accept this result in the status of the church today. It may take decades or even hundreds of years to see some results.”
”So I asked him... 'are you really willing'?”
Brandon's eyes showed a trace of confusion, but a few seconds later, his royal highness returned to normal, holding his head in his hands and following the dark haired wizard.
Even if he can really accept such a future, it does not mean that Albert Tarot, who was born as a wizard, will have no complaints about the Holy Cross.
Why sacrifice people are always wizards
Why should priests always occupy the commanding heights of morality and justice
Why should we bear all the suffering, blood and tears
Why... You don't have to pay any price
It can't be simpler.
”But... That's not enough.” Brandon raised his mouth bit by bit and looked at his wizard adviser meaningfully: ”I know Elbert. He won't agree so easily.”
”That's right.” Lauren sighed. ”I made a deal with him.”
”What deal?”
”A secret.” the dark haired wizard smiled. ”We each exchanged a secret... In other words, we are holding each other's handle now.”
”Well... I guess you won't tell me what it is.”
”Worthy of his highness Brandon, he is really smart.”
”Don't be numb, my goose bumps are coming out.” Brandon, with a long face, rolled his eyes and stopped Lauren first: ”I have to tell you two things before you go in, so that you won't be in a hurry.”
”First of all, I still can't help you this time... I'm a direct member of the royal family and can't participate in the pre imperial trial, because my 12th generation emperor is my own father!”
”Secondly, the defenders sent by the Holy Cross Church are very troublesome!”
”Very troublesome?” Lauren frowned. ”Church judge?”
”No, if only that guy - I can tell you his weakness directly, but it's not him this time!” Brandon clenched his teeth. ”That man is...”
Before the voice fell, another voice suddenly sounded behind them:
”Lauren, there you are!”
