The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The Chief Foreign Affairs Archbishop of the Church of the Lord of the Sky so clearly admitted that the church is indeed afraid of a person, and then made some concessions and retreats in decision-making, which surprised everyone present, because it completely violated their minds. Everything about the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

Although not all the dignitaries present in the United Kingdom of America and California are believers of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, some are believers of Shamanism, and some are believers of other true god churches, even those who claim to be believers of the Lord of the Sky are not necessarily true. Believe in the Lord of the Sky, but these choices of beliefs do not hinder the church-style education they received from the Lord of the Sky since childhood.

Because the Church of the Lord of the Sky is the state religion, all schools in the United Kingdom of America, whether they are public or private, must have courses related to the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the proportion of these courses is very high, and almost everyone listens to it. They grew up with church scriptures such as the Lord of the Sky is the only Lord of the world, the God of Gods, even if they convert to other religions or become unbelievers, they always think that the Church of the Lord of the Sky is extremely powerful Yes, it is also indestructible.

However, now, as the decision maker of all external affairs of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, the person with the greatest power and the highest status in the church has blatantly told everyone that the church is afraid of a person and dare not provoke him. With the common sense knowledge formed, even the old nobleman who asked the archbishop of foreign affairs in a mocking tone was completely stunned there, not knowing what to say for a long time.

He just wanted to use this method to provoke the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs, so as to draw the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs into the plan to deal with the Dodd Group, and also reminded all those present who did not understand the wizards of the tower, the wizards of the tower and their cognition Those wizards in the wizarding house in the middle are completely different.

However, what he never expected was that the archbishop of foreign affairs did not play the cards according to the rules at all, so that some of his subsequent remarks were blocked in his throat, and he could not spit out at all.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, are you joking?" The Prime Minister quickly came to his senses, as if he wanted to restore the situation, he forced a smile with difficulty, and asked in confirmation.

However, the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs ignored the prime minister's thoughts, still nodded, and said: "I am not joking, but explaining the facts. The church is indeed not ready to offend a tower wizard, so any The church will not directly participate in the actions of the tower wizards. Of course, the church is still willing to give devout believers some information or help with weapons. Of course, this kind of help is purely an exchange of benefits, and the church and believers have nothing to do with this help. .”

After reconfirming and explaining in detail the attitude of the Church of the Lord of the Sky towards the High Tower Wizard or the Dodd Group, the room exploded immediately. Everyone accused the Church's behavior as an act of betrayal. Open your mouth and propose to submit a joint proposal to remove the Church of the Lord of the Sky as a state religion in the next parliamentary meeting.

Facing the accusations from everyone, the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs didn't say anything but just looked at the people around the round table coldly, and didn't even intend to make further excuses.

Feeling that the situation was getting out of control, the Prime Minister immediately raised his hand and knocked on the table vigorously, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then said: "This meeting is here for the time being, you all go back to collect information about the tower wizard, Since we are going to deal with the Dodd Group, the tower wizard behind the Dodd Group must also be the target of our dealings, so we must first understand the actual situation of the other party before we can think of a solution. The next meeting will continue at the same time tomorrow, until At that time, I hope that you already know the details of the tower wizard, instead of being ignorant like now."

Faced with the Prime Minister's proposal, the dignitaries present did not object. Although they were very angry with some decisions and actions of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, they were not yet ready to completely break with the Church of the Lord of the Sky. Now the prime minister's proposal is undoubtedly very timely. Let everyone calm down, and because of the church's attitude, those present who don't know anything about tower wizards at all, or even have a little knowledge of it, have enough time to understand this thing.

The dignitaries of America and California in the room got up and left the room one after another. The foreign affairs archbishop of the Church of the Lord of the Sky also stood up, ready to get up and leave, but he was stopped by the prime minister, who signaled him to wait a while before leaving, so he sat down again. Back on the Chair Hill Chair, waiting for the others to leave.

Soon there were only the Prime Minister and the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs left in the room. The Prime Minister stood up, opened the door, gave instructions to the guard outside the door, then closed the door again, and opened the door under the gaze of the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs. A hidden compartment in the room revealed the safe inside. After twisting the swirl and entering the correct password, the safe opened, and there were several bottles of wine and glasses in the safe.

The Prime Minister said to the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs: "Come to a glass of old Porto Violet! This was produced before the year of the mist disaster. It has been stored for thirty years, and it is already mellow enough."

The archbishop of foreign affairs nodded slightly, and then saw the prime minister pouring two glasses of wine, and then handing over the glasses in his hand, he asked, "What's going on? Why did the church make such a strange decision? "

The Archbishop of Foreign Affairs took the wine glass, took a sip immediately, then closed his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the fine wine, and the Prime Minister did not continue to ask, but quietly waited for the other party's answer.

After a while, the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs sighed, and said: "Indeed, the tower wizard is far more powerful and terrifying than you imagined, but the church is not without power to contend with it, but it is impossible for the church to A high tower wizard affected the important matter of the return of the gods, so now the church has made a decision to maintain a peaceful relationship with the high tower wizard. For this reason, the church even paid a high price to target the Assassin's Room against Hill Via's assassination has been smoothed over."

The relationship between the two people in the room is not just a colleague relationship, they are also friends and allies for many years. Both sides have given each other a lot of help in career and status, and they can also express some things and ideas that cannot be said to the outside world. They told each other, so the Prime Minister did not have any doubts about the words of the archbishop of foreign affairs.

It's just that in this sentence, in addition to hearing that the church is indeed worried about the wizard of the tower, the prime minister also heard that the church attaches great importance to the return of the gods.

In fact, the return of the gods is not a new topic in the Mozambique continent, or even in the entire world of Velen. After the fog disaster, various monsters emerged one after another, and the power of the church was gradually revealed in disasters. In front of the world, those magical arts that make people feel the majesty and gifts of the gods, without exception, remind believers that the gods who have disappeared for a long time have been paying attention to them, so there are topics such as the return of the gods.

However, after so many years, the topic of the return of the gods has long been replaced by other topics among the people. What the people are concerned about is the problem of food supplements, the problem of monsters attacking the city, how to survive in such a world, and whether the gods will return. It seems that they don't care at all.

Ordinary people can ignore this matter, but as the prime minister of the country, he cannot ignore it.

Regardless of the fact that the United Kingdom of America and California is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. Except for a few nobles, the members of the parliament are all elected by the people. The king has long been emptied by the parliament. Know that the United Kingdom of America and California is a church country, and the church controls every aspect of the country. From birth, to growth, to death, everything in life is related to the church.

Although, in the past years, the kingdom tried its best to suppress the influence of the church, and achieved certain results, but with a series of events after the fog disaster, the world once again saw the miracle of the Lord of the Sky, The influence of the church also quickly recovered under these circumstances.

However, due to the deliberate suppression of the kingdom's officials and dignitaries, the power of the church has never reached its peak in the past, and the two have always been in a state of balance. However, once the return of the gods mentioned by the foreign affairs archbishop appears, the United Kingdom of America and Canada is bound to be the same as the past. To become a church-state with the church as the main body is the last thing the so-called democrats like the prime minister want to see, even if he himself is a devout follower of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

"The return of the gods is just a talk, or..." the prime minister asked in confirmation.

The archbishop of foreign affairs was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand why his friend asked such a question, so he nodded, but did not answer directly.

"How long?" the Prime Minister asked again.

The Archbishop of Foreign Affairs replied: "I don't know, it may be within a few years, or it may be within decades. These times are no different for the gods." Turning back to the previous topic, he said: "You'd better be cautious about the Dodd Group, because before the gods appeared, the tower wizard Leo Dodd was the one who stood at the top of the world. One, and his power has no limits, and he can do many things that none of us can do."

"Then what should we do?" The Prime Minister also pulled his thoughts back to the Dodd Group, and asked after a moment of silence.

The Archbishop of Foreign Affairs thought for a while, and said: "Use commercial and political methods to solve commercial and political matters, and don't use methods beyond this range. In this way, even if Leo Dodd and Sylvia are powerful and have good But they cannot use methods beyond the rules to deal with you, they still have to deal with your attacks according to the rules they should have."

After hearing this, the prime minister had a thoughtful look on his face.

The Archbishop of Foreign Affairs seemed to think that the prime minister hadn't thought it through yet, so he said suggestively: "Whether it is the New Porto area or Odoline, it is mainly industrial, not a grain-producing area. About 70% of all food supplies need to be obtained from outside." Import. It was also mentioned just now that the grain production in our country’s Temeri Plain accounts for more than 80% of the entire Mozambique continent. The grain in the New Porto area and Odoline are all purchased from us. If we stop supplying grain, What do you think will happen there?"

In fact, there is no need for the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs to remind. The Prime Minister already has several ways to suppress the Dodd Group commercially and politically, and the method of food supply is also among them, but the specific implementation needs further discussion. After all, the Dodd Group cannot be defeated just by cutting off the food supply as the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs thought.

Although the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs seems to be giving advice to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister thinks more. He does not want to see the Church of the Lord of the Sky as a pure bystander. He is more like the Church of the Lord of the Sky. Once any accident occurs, he can bear it together, so he asked in a deep voice: "What about the Church of the Ladies of the Lake? I remember that Sylvia is the favored person of the Church of the Lady of the Lake. If I ask for food supply from the Lady of the Lake Church, the plan of cutting off food cannot be carried out. You must know that the Lady of the Lake Church also has a large amount of food transactions. If it supports the Dodd Group, it is impossible for me to cut off food here alone. What kind of trouble did the German Group cause?"

The Archbishop of Foreign Affairs did not immediately answer the prime minister's question, but was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "The church can come forward in this matter. Although it is impossible to completely prevent the Lady in the Lake Church from selling grain to the Dodd Group, it can delay the sale. Time, reduce the amount of food sold." As he said, he paused again, and said: "And don't make a mistake, we are not trying to destroy the Dodd Group, but to make the Dodd Group uncontrollable In Odoline City, having grain exports as a bargaining chip is enough to have a fruitful negotiation with the Dodd Group, as for completely destroying the Dodd Group, don’t even think about it, you can’t do it, and I can’t do it either.”

After listening to the words of the Archbishop of Foreign Affairs, the Prime Minister didn't say anything. The two talked about the details of suppressing the Dodd Group, and then separated. Then he went to the mansion of the speaker of the House of Representatives. It didn’t take long for the prime minister to leave the mansion of the speaker and went to the embassies set up by various countries in Mozambique. It seemed that he wanted to bring down other countries that had concerns about the Dodd group. in their own battle lines.

A political and business siege against the Dodd Group began to take shape slowly, but Leo Dodd and Sylvia, one of the parties involved, knew nothing about it. The test subject who fell into a coma after taking the medicine is obviously more important, because this test subject is related to whether the constitution medicine needs to be modified from the core formula, that is to say, whether it is necessary to push the existing constitution medicine to start over.
