These three Popes are really hard to serve, and they firmly rejected the offer to stay at the Cathedral of the Goddess of Wealth—as the highest representatives of the Church of the Dawn Temple, the Temple of Punishment, and the Temple of War, how could they stay in the churches of other gods? This is undoubtedly a betrayal of their beliefs!
But in the entire Vyas territory, only the church of the Goddess of Wealth exists!
Lin Qi had no choice but to vacate the Golden Dragon City and arrange for the three rare-to-serve His Majesty the Pope and their entourage to enter. wwW,QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO,cOmThe three popes expressed great satisfaction with Lin Qi's arrangement, and then they found various excuses to continuously summon Lin Qi and Alda.
After a while, they will say that they have received an edict from the gods and have certain instructions for the future of the Longshan Empire.
After a while, they will say that the gods have given them a prophecy again, and they must discuss the future of the Longshan Empire with Lin Qi.
All in all, the three popes were like three pieces of candy, stuck to Lin Qi and Alda. The problem is that there are three popes, while Lin Qi and Alda only have two, and the future emperor of the Longshan Empire, Earl Longshan, has only one! The two people, who were unable to do anything at all, were tortured to death. In the end, even the three popes almost started fighting among themselves.
Everything is just for the former Vyas Commercial Federation and the future Longshan Empire, a piece of fat that makes people drool!
Under the loose federal state of the Vias Commercial Federation, the government can receive tax revenue every year that far exceeds the sum of the Gallic Empire and the Great Yan Dynasty. It is conceivable that once the Longshan Empire is established, the Longshan Empire will have a powerful tax department, and the annual tax revenue will be at least doubled.
After all, in the federal state, many big nobles, such as the consuls, always have various excuses to provide tax exemptions for their family's shops, and whether these big nobles or these consuls control profits, they The highest part is bought and sold.
According to the estimates of the think tanks around the three major popes, once the Longshan Empire is established, as long as the person sitting on the throne is not a stupid pig, the annual tax revenue of the Longshan Empire may reach that of the Gallic Empire, the Great Yan Dynasty, The total annual fiscal revenue of the Harlan Empire is more than double!
What a terrifying number this is!
Coupled with the vast territory and lush population of the Longshan Empire, the potential of the Longshan Empire is really great! No powerful temple will give up its interests in this country, especially the Dawn Temple. They are old friends with the Longshan family and have always had good cooperation and friendship!
Grisco? Chen Xi has regarded the Longshan family as his own. He is even willing to give up most of his interests in the Gallic Empire and the Haran Empire. He even proposed that Shengguang I and Shenghui I abdicate. He firmly believes that , the two core figures of the Longshan family are saints of the Dawn Temple, so the Dawn Temple must monopolize all the interests of the Longshan Empire.
But the Seal Pope, who represents the Temple of Punishment, and the Scepter Pope, who represents the Temple of War, how could they allow such a thing to happen
Compared with the plump pig's trotters from the Longshan Empire, the Gallic Empire and the Haran Empire were just two large pig thigh bones. Although there was a little skin and meat hanging on the bones, they were definitely not as fragrant and fat as the pig's trotters when chewed. One mouthful is oily!
Lin Qi and Alda were caught in the endless wrangling and disputes between the three major popes. Various exchanges of interests, various promises, various promises, and even intentional or unintentional threats and intimidation from the Temple of Punishment and the Temple of War, Lin Qi almost wanted to close the door of Golden Dragon City and release all the demons of the Sixth Abyss. Kill all three popes!
In just a few days, if the secret negotiations between Lin Qi and the three popes were leaked, it would definitely cause a huge shock in the Western Continent! In the end, the interest division plan proposed by Hu Xinzhu and Yun was unanimously approved by the three popes, and Alda signed a formal contract with the three popes on behalf of the Longshan family and the Longshan Empire.
The three most powerful temples, on the premise that they ensured unconditional support and unconditional asylum for the Longshan Empire, the Longshan Empire reached a four-three-three interest division model with them.
The Dawn Temple exclusively occupies 40% of the Longshan Empire's faith resources, and the other two temples each occupy 30%. The gold coins that the Longshan family donates to the church every year will also be divided according to this proportion. The secret contract also stipulates that the Longshan family's annual gold coins payment to the church cannot be less than one billion, with no upper limit; at the same time, in addition to gold coins, the Longshan family is also obligated to replenish the ordnance, food, mounts, and magic tools for part of the three major temples. .
The Longshan Empire will build churches of the three major divine systems in every city within the empire, as well as religious colleges!
The Longshan Empire must guide the residents' beliefs within the territory, guide them to believe in the gods of the three major gods, and abandon worship of other gods.
When the church is in need, the Longshan Empire's army must also assist the church's army in fighting. For example, if the church is dissatisfied with a certain empire and wants to change its owner, the Longshan Empire is obliged to send out troops to cooperate with the church in attacking the empire.
After paying such a huge price, the benefit the Longshan family received was that the Longshan family received unlimited religious immunity and religious asylum!
The explanation for this unlimited religious immunity and religious asylum is that as long as the Longshan family is not so crazy that they become the spokesperson of the devil in the world, no matter how many outrageous things they do, the three major temples will take the initiative to wipe their butts!
For example, in the future, a certain prince of the Longshan Empire beats up a divine descendant of a divine descendant family. As long as the one he beats is not a core divine descendant of the divine descendants of the three major temples, the church will not investigate or deal with this matter.
For example, in the future, if a certain prince of the Longshan Empire commits a criminal case in another country and accidentally kills ten or eight civilians or nobles, then the church will provide religious protection to the prince and declare him innocent in the name of the gods. And he declared that the people he killed were heretics!
For another example, if a certain emperor of the Longshan Empire becomes confused in the future and suddenly launches a war to attack neighboring countries, if the war is won, the church will immediately declare that the territories they occupy are legal territories; if the war is lost, Then the church will immediately come out to mediate, so that both parties will value peace. Don't let the soldiers bleed for no reason anymore. Let everyone withdraw their troops and go home!
All in all, Longshan Empire will pay a huge amount of gold coins in the future, but in exchange, it will receive overwhelming support from the church.
When Alda signed his name on the contract seriously, Lin Qi applauded enthusiastically.
"It's perfect, let's have a drink together! The three noble majesties, and our respected Emperor Longshan, I think this may be the most valuable contract in the history of the Western Continent! It's incredible, this It is the perfect combination of divine power and imperial power!”
Touching the saint's badge on his chest, Lin Qi said with emotion: "I think the Longshan Empire's model can be promoted to the entire continent! Why does imperial power have to be in opposition to divine power? Why can't imperial power become the strongest of divine power? Assistant?"
"As long as we are full of faith and full of reverence for the gods, we will create an unprecedented situation in the Western Continent!" Lin Qi took a deep breath. He looked at the three popes with red faces, enthusiastic and He said with a sense of holiness: "The will of the gods walks on the earth, and all civilians are devout believers in my god. All glory belongs to my god!"
With his finger gently touching his forehead, Lin Qi's whole body released a divine radiance.
A bright and bright morning light fell on his head, and Lin Qi was immersed in this morning light with great enjoyment.
Alda also stretched out his finger and tapped his heart gently: "I firmly believe that imperial power and divine power should not be in opposition, but should assist each other. This is just like men and women, who are born to be in harmony. Let’s do it together! Praise the great morning sun for giving us such glorious guidance!”
Another ray of morning light fell on his head, and Alda was soaked in the divine light comfortably. He was so comfortable that he almost hummed.
The training of the four old demons was very effective, and the mysterious magic weapon they made for Alda was very useful. After all the morning light was integrated into Alda's body, it was quickly converted into energy without any attributes. Da's body slowly absorbed it.
Seeing that Arda and Lin Qi, the two most important figures in the Longshan Empire, are actually devout believers of the God of Dawn, Grisgao? Chenxi couldn't help but say, "Haha, laugh out loud." He glanced at the other two ugly-looking popes demonstratively. Judging from his expressions, there was a feeling that all the interests of the Longshan Empire should have been exclusive to the Dawn Temple, but now they are only rewards from the Dawn Temple. It gives a little bit of meaning to the other two major temples.
Pope Seal took a deep breath and said solemnly: "In the future, you will understand that fair and just punishment is an indispensable force for a country!"
Hu Xinzhu, who tied her long golden hair into a small braid and wore a set of bright red judge's robes, slowly walked out of the Longshan Empire's court train. He nodded to Pope Seal with deep feeling: "As you said, Your Majesty the Pope, I feel the call of the law, and I will use fair and equitable laws to punish all criminals in the empire!"
Hu Xinzhu bowed deeply to Pope Seal. A faint golden-red divine light suddenly appeared on his body, and a strange divine pattern emerged on the top of Hu Xinzhu's head, and then sank into his body. This divine mark represents the divine power of the old pervert, the God of Laws and Orders. Only his believers, and believers with relatively firm beliefs, can summon his divine power for blessing!
