Dear Broom Knight
#212 - Well-Informed Pat
The nobles understood for the first time what it meant for the real cataclysm to be the storm stirred up from within.
As outsiders, they couldn't fathom how the Church people managed to get their hands in through such crooked and unorthodox means.
But Pat, she really hit the nail on the head every time.
At first, most nobles were truly just watching the show, but then they immediately became alert and started cleaning up their own houses according to the inside information Pat had uncovered.
Everyone was quite anxious, afraid that Pat would be stopped halfway by the High Tower Church.
But what was even more surprising was that Pat kept making trouble.
When you got down to it, the High Tower Church must have exploited all the dark corners she exposed in the same way.
Wasn't she just making trouble for herself?
Only the will originating from a god could make the Church give up most of its own interests… After all, even if it sounded nice, the favor of the gods was the fundamental interest of the Church.
It was just that the gods' control over their believers had declined in this world due to special reasons, so other churches dared to close their eyes and pretend to be fools.
But the High Tower Church and the Ice and Snow Church, although everyone shouted to beat them, were absolutely obedient… Who told them that their god could really appear!
Therefore, although these two churches were shouted at by everyone and chased everywhere as soon as they appeared, and the number of people who died was countless, they just wouldn't be completely beaten to death.
The top few, no, it should be said, just those few high priests whose appearance and temperament didn't look like ordinary people, basically no one would try to kill them.
No one wanted to be fighting and suddenly have the opponent turn into a god, right?
Evil gods were also existences above level 16!
It was said that they could only exert level 16 combat power, but… there was also a world of difference between level 16 and level 16.
At least normal level 16s, although their stamina and mana were abundant, they also had their limits.
But gods, they could act endlessly.
No one was stupid.
The Orthodox Church was the one you really didn't need to be too afraid of… That was a truly high and mighty god.
Or rather, those true gods wouldn't easily waste their divine power on trivial matters of the human world.
Even the Storm God, with such a strong personality, would only take action on matters with too great an impact!
In fact, the nobles of the Northern Kingdom were very clear that although their country was in a terrible state because of the Storm Church, the Storm Church's diocese was already the tallest dwarf among the short ones.
At least they really had to hide the bad things they did tightly, even from their own people.
Of course, even in the dioceses of other churches, it was at most much worse, but not too excessive.
After all, even the most greedy and foolish nobles, including the kings of various countries, understood very well that if they wanted to live well, they had to keep the Church firmly under their feet.
No one wanted to lose the advantage that their ancestors had gained by reconciling with the White Dragons, who were as deeply hated as enemies, and cooperating with them to fight against the gods and suppress the Church.
Even those whose brains weren't that good would immediately wake up when they saw what kind of days the royal nobles of the Icefield Kingdom were living.
They were all smart people who wanted others to die, but didn't want to die themselves.
Of course, no one could completely expel the Church's power.
After all, the common people were the most convinced of the Church.
And no king would give up his rule over the common people, but his rule over the common people had to be restrained by the noble class in the middle.
Then, the mutually restraining king and nobles could only watch helplessly as the Church won over the lower classes… After all, no noble was willing to pay the benefits in his hands to a group of people they completely looked down on.
Perhaps, in their eyes, these ordinary people who could only mingle in dirty places didn't even have the qualifications to be human… They had no self-respect at all.
The gods were high above, and the kings sat high on their thrones, and they could all have a trace of pity for mortals, understanding that they were also the pillars of the world and the country.
The closer they were to them, the less they took them seriously.
It was only natural to suffer a backlash.
Therefore, the funniest thing about what Pat was doing now was this.
Because the Northern Kingdom was the country with the strictest control over the major churches, generally speaking, these churches would take the successful cases in other countries and use them in the Northern Kingdom.
The Storm Church was even more so.
Therefore, other countries really learned a lot from Pat's side.
Although some people could no longer be eliminated, it was a great thing for everyone to distinguish between friends and foes and understand their respective positions.
At least you don't have to worry about being plotted against from behind.
Then, as for what Arsland heard, the White Dragon King's suggestion was actually to let Pat go and find Duke Avid Schroeder's trouble.
However, it wasn't impossible.
After all, this was the Storm Church's biggest spokesperson in the Northern Kingdom.
There was no way around it, everyone knew that the Northern Kingdom was able to be established with a lot of help from the Storm Church back then.
Therefore, the leader of the Knights sent by the Storm Church back then naturally became Duke Schroeder.
Even the first king still tried his best to find ways to limit the scope of power of this Duke from the Storm and surround him with his subordinates.
Then, the other Storm Knights were arranged very close and very far away… Although they were only separated by a mountain, that mountain was actually an extension of the Wolf Mountain range.
People without some ability couldn't even think about crossing that mountain.
After all, when the Northern Kingdom was established, the Gale Wolves were still existing as independent kings!
Even though Count Gezall later established an alliance with the Gale Wolves, he actually conscientiously completed this isolation task and even did it better.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Although later, due to various circumstances, the successive Counts Gezall became less and less hostile to the Storm Church… Of course, everyone knew this, and it wasn't their fault.
That was actually the fault of the Northern Royal Family.
It was clear that Count Gezall hadn't done anything wrong except believe in the Lord of Storms, but they had to find trouble with him.
However, the Northern Kingdom had been passed down for so many generations, and it was normal for a king with a not-so-good brain to appear occasionally.
How should I put it… that person didn't really not know the importance of the Gezall family, but he just knew it too well, to the point of being hooked by others.
It was clear that it was the others in the isolation circle who were pulled away by Duke Schroeder, not Gezall, who couldn't be counted as a neighbor, but was the most concerned about the Storm Church.
But he was convinced by people that Gezall had ulterior motives, allowing Duke Schroeder's people to build a secret passage on Wolf Mountain.
Of course, the other party did indeed produce some relatively credible evidence… But as long as anyone with a brain understood, Count Gezall himself didn't have the ability to manage the affairs of Wolf Mountain, how could the Gale Wolves allow outsiders with no connection to easily pass through their home!
However, that king with a not-so-good brain believed it.
After that, everyone knew what happened.
Count Gezall wasn't the kind of person to compromise, and besides, he didn't need to.
Therefore, that generation of Gezall quickly returned to a neutral position… He didn't favor the Storm Church, but he wouldn't stop their secret plans anymore.
In other words, Count Gezall completely broke away from his identity as an absolute royalist.
Although the next few kings also tried to salvage it, they discovered how comfortable the neutral identity was, and Count Gezall, who didn't have to do anything as long as he fulfilled his basic noble obligations, couldn't possibly turn back so easily.
In addition, the Storm Church offered huge benefits, but the Northern King couldn't offer them… At that time, the people of the Gezall family were still quite popular with the Gale Wolves, so the wind-type crystals provided by the Storm Church really made Gezall very envious.
But Count Gezall had always been one to take the benefits and not work… The treatment provided by the Storm Church allowed them to do nothing.
If it wasn't for the current Count Gezall, who had turned the family's originally great situation into a mess… Although no one knew what benefits he had taken from the Storm Church to completely abandon the family's thousand-year tradition.
But, no one thought it was for money, and he didn't seem to have been caught with a handle.
And Pat, who came from the Gezall family, had a very obvious attitude of disgust and hatred towards this Duke Avid Schroeder.
She definitely knew something.
At least she knew that most of the bad things Count Gezall did were at the behest of this Duke.
However, during this period, Pat's goal was to find ways to start from the periphery, gradually stripping away Duke Avid Schroeder's power, and hadn't directly attacked the scope of that person's power itself.
The White Dragon King hoped that Pat would take a more ruthless approach.
Arsland glanced at him: "You're so sure, Pat can find loopholes that even you haven't discovered?"
The White Dragon King was stronger than the previous Northern Kings in that if he caught a handle, he could really take it out to punish.
Of course, this handle was definitely not the kind of mistakes in the general sense.
It had to be serious enough, at least causing huge damage to the king and the royal family, or a major mistake that damaged the sovereignty of the Northern Kingdom.
What corruption, what harming the common people, were all auxiliary means used to increase the charges, but they couldn't fundamentally decide anything.
"She already knew, Pat's news doesn't just come from the Church and nobles, her biggest trump card is that Tower Master." The White Dragon King said with a smile, "But for the Tower Master, we are also enemies.
He deliberately watched Pat make trouble for the Storm Church, and may even be pondering some bad ideas related to his Church before he would allow Pat to make such trouble."
