Chapter 288 “Who is scheainst whom?” (Part one)
Maxi of Du Wei's word
This bishop may be the type to appear compassionate and noble on the outside, but Du Wei's not wrong: thesoreat!
This was especially true after today Du Wei had never been convinced the members of the Temple are saints in this world even on the best of days… And now that he learned the truth regarding Mayuba, the founder of the Temple, his opinion became even more conclusive
Rather than calling this Maxi to call him a politician in the temple
Likewise, Maximos knows that in order to win the support of Du Wei and have this Duke bet on himself, he must let the other side kno handso so
“Duke” Pondering for a while, Maximos slowly spoke: ”I believe that you have a certain a the rules of succession in the Temple”
”Yes” Du Wei nodded: “According to the rules of the temple, you are considered to be one of the heirs to the throne However, I would say, since there are a total of eight of you, you're not necessarily certain to become the final winner”
“Oh alhty Goddess” Maximos made a face full of compassion: ”It's not my wish to covet the throne, but since I have dedicated myself to the Goddess and the Teuys frolory of the Temple”
Despite the wondrous speech, Du Wei re for the bishop to continue
“The battle between the Xieni faction and our Mosa faction is long-standing In this generation of battles, especially over the past two years, their actions have become more than excessive Our Mosa factioncontribution points is far exceeding that of the Xieni faction despite the fact that they control over five dioceses The reasoning for this outco is too harsh and too bloody Their ainst those they deeo in the southeastern diocese, they openly burned six people in the na the heretics Then there's the case three years ago in the southwestern diocese, they hanged a noblees of blasphemy These measures are too intense and have already causedclass, especially three years ago when they hanged that aristocrat That kind of practice was regarded by the upper class as a kind of de level of friction within the noble co in the dioceses controlled by the Xieni faction These exa the taxation policy a while back Because of the tax proble the e the people to hand over most of their incoine, without excessive incoious tax and contributions the Temple can receive will drareatly strained the relationshi+p between both sides Moreover, the Xieni faction advocates the teaching of 'divine authority stands above all others', naturally, the royal family will not be pleased by this”
“That is only natural” Du Wei shrugged his shoulders: “I may not be fully acquainted with the events you mentioned, but I have heard of them”
“Over the years, our Mosa faction e within the Teher than the Xieni faction This was especially true within the elder committee where we are heavily favored But because of the incident two years ago, ere dealt a heavy blow If not for that, our Mosa faction wouldn't have fallen into our current circumstances”
Maxi Du Wei a look, he asked: ”Duke, I'ht?”
Du Wei's heart ju a surprised expression: “Hussein, of course I have heard of him He’s the enius knight on the continent But didn't he betray the temple?”
“It is Hussein… Alas, because of him, our Mosa faction became implicated by that scandal It can be said that due to Hussein's betrayal, the Mosa faction lost the supportive strength granted by the Pope and the upper echelon…”
“What does Hussein have to do with you?” Du Wei questioned
Maximos made a wry smile: “Duke, there's a reason Hussein becaht, one of three leadershi+p knights in the order, youngest genius to likely reach Saint class, and other titles” Pausing, he slowly spoke: ”Hussein… He's part of the central northern diocese, and to the public, he belongs to the Mosa faction”
