The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife
Chapter 80 I want to be the king
"Sister Leah, have you broken through the third level?"
At the tea party in the back garden of the castle, Amy looked at her with surprise.
Liya nodded happily.
In fact, she herself never thought that she would have this day.
Even the Gray Wolf Knight was only at the third level, and now she has become a third-level knight.
All this is really too dreamy for her.
At this time, Lena looked at Leah with an expression of amazement on her face.
She remembered that Leah was less than 20 years old, right?
Such a young third-level knight can be called a genius in any family.
In addition, Leah was born as a commoner before, so the real training time is definitely much less than those geniuses in the family.
In this case, Leah's talent can be seen more clearly.
No, that's not right.
In addition to Leah's own talent, the magical power mastered by the Frostwolf Duke is the most critical.
Even she herself is also a beneficiary of this power, otherwise it would be difficult for her to improve her strength to the peak of the second level in a short time.
Thinking of this, she secretly clenched her fists.
She believed that her talent was not weaker than Leah's, and she would never fall behind.
...
During the day.
David continued his knight training as usual.
For a fourth-level knight to break through to the fifth-level knight, the most important thing was to transform the gaseous Dou Qi into liquid Dou Qi. For this reason, he had been constantly refining the Dou Qi quality recently.
At noon, he would find Cynthia to practice.
In the afternoon, he continued his knight training.
In the evening, it was time for Leah, Amy and Reina.
The sage time after each double training was used to practice meditation.
At this time in the city hall.
David was holding the information he had just obtained in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The old king of the Silver Moon Kingdom might not be able to hold on for long.
And this also means that the civil war in the Silver Moon Kingdom is about to begin, and the eldest prince cannot watch the second prince take the throne.
In addition, there is the third prince, who is called the Silver Moon Star.
The Silver Moon Kingdom is about to usher in a situation where the three kings compete for hegemony. In this case, maintaining neutrality is indeed the best way.
And what he has to do is to make all parties believe that he has the strength to maintain neutrality.
After all, even though he was the second prince, he still did not tear his face with the other party on the surface and maintained superficial peace.
Now, what he lacked most was time.
"My Lord Duke, do we really have to submit to the King of Silver Moon?" Lena suddenly asked.
David looked at his smart woman and smiled slightly, saying, "As long as I become the new King of Silver Moon, it will not be considered a violation of the agreement."
This was the first time he said his goal.
From the beginning of his plan to pursue the path of wizards, he was destined to be an enemy of the largest organization on this continent.
And if he wanted to fight against the church, he had to borrow the power of the king.
Theocracy and kingship have always been two different sources of power and forms of rule in history. The opposition between them is mainly reflected in the differences in the source of authority, the legitimacy of power and the way of rule.
Theocracy emphasizes that the power of the ruler comes directly from God or supernatural power, while kingship believes that the power of the ruler comes from inheritance, conquest or the consent of the people, and the legitimacy is more based on secular laws and traditions.
In this world, theocracy is centered on the church, and its pope is regarded as the spokesperson of God on earth, holding absolute authority in the spiritual realm.
The church not only teaches faith, but also interferes in secular affairs, influencing the royal decision-making through the influence of clergy.
The royal power is represented by the king or queen, who are the secular rulers of the territory and are responsible for military, legal and administrative management.
David found that the historical records of the Frost Wolf family are full of stories of struggles between royal power and theocracy.
The royal families of various countries have repeatedly challenged the authority of the church and tried to weaken its control over the country. They realized that if they wanted to truly grasp power, they must break the shackles of the church and liberate the royal power from the shadow of theocracy.
A key turning point occurred hundreds of years ago, when the major kings on the continent formed an alliance to fight against the excessive intervention of the church.
They launched a reform movement aimed at weakening the economic power of the church, limiting theocracy, and ensuring that the king's orders could be directly executed without obstruction from the clergy.
This movement is called the "revival of royal power". Although the process is full of blood and fire conflicts, it eventually succeeded in establishing a more balanced power structure within the major kingdoms.
However, this victory does not mean that the conflict between theocracy and royal power has ended.
As time goes by, the church has been gathering strength again, and with the disappearance of those legendary knights, theocracy has begun to suppress royal power again.
David understands that his era still needs to face this subtle power game. Perhaps one day, the kingdoms will unite again to stand at the forefront of the fight against theocracy and fight to maintain the independence of the royal power and the prosperity of the country.
What he has to do now is to try to master the royal power and start a struggle between royal power and theocracy as a chess player, so as to destroy the church.
He is a wizard.
If he wants the church to perish, he must ascend the throne.
Only by borrowing the power of a kingdom can he fight against the church, use royal power to fight against theocracy, and re-create the kingdom that belongs to wizards.
A hint of fanaticism flashed in Reina's eyes. She herself saw the potential of being a king in her man, and this is also what she expects!
"Then I am willing to help you ascend the throne."
Reina knelt on one knee without hesitation and swore allegiance.
David smiled slightly, stepped forward and lifted Reina's chin, "When I become the King of Silver Moon, it will be time to help you take back the Kingdom of Crystal Song."
"So now, can I collect some interest first?"
Woo——
Reina just opened her mouth and was blocked.
Then one of her feet was lifted up and her back pressed against the wall.
