Chapter 495: Human Relations
The negotiation went much more smoothly than expected. The people from the Church of the Sun agreed to their terms without much bargaining, which made Clown wonder if his offer was too low.
After seeing off a few guests, Crown expressed his doubts.
Eliza smiled and said, "It's not that our offer is too low, but the actual value of the resources we need in the Church of the Sun is much lower than we thought.
For example, Runestorm Diamonds are very rare for us, but for the Church of the Lord of Storms, which has accumulated them for many years, they are not so rare.
Just like the Word of the Moon Goddess, which increases the chance of breaking through the silver rank in the Moon Goddess Church, the Moonstone used to make potions is a companion product of the Moon Goddess Temple's magic array. Moonstone of this quality is extremely rare outside, and although the Moon Goddess Church cannot mass-produce it, it can supply it in large quantities.
For us, the price was right, and for them, they got what they wanted, so everyone is happy.”
Clown nodded. That was the truth. He turned his head to the window and glanced at the sky where snowflakes were no longer falling. He asked, "After the church is established, how do you plan to allocate the resources for advancing to the fifth level?"
How to allocate resources may seem like a question about the transcendental path, but it can be said that it affects the power structure of the church's future and is a profound religious issue.
Eliza's body tensed up and she said solemnly:
“The first two people to receive the resources were Fanny and Chloë.
Fanny and Nick have been in charge of Hammers's academic and general affairs for a long time, and have made outstanding contributions to the stability of Shattrath. In addition, you have a close personal relationship, so the two of them occupy one position.
The other spots are between Chloë, Janice and Melissa. I prefer Aunt Chloë. She is the first person to master the Golden Light Spell independently. Although her qualifications are not particularly outstanding, her talent in the Golden Light Spell can completely make up for the lack of qualifications.
There is a deeper reason why I chose Chloë. Compared with others, she is closer to me, and I need someone who is truly my own to maintain my status.
If you also hold the position of Pope, you naturally do not need to consider this, because you have enough strength and prestige to ensure that your orders are thoroughly carried out.
But even if you are as powerful as a god, you can only grasp the general direction when dealing with religious affairs. There are too many twists and turns in the specific implementation of policies. So I cannot completely control the church when I become the Pope. "
Crown nodded slightly. He understood his wife's concerns. As a leader, he did not have the energy to do everything personally. If he did, the efficiency would be too low and power would inevitably be dispersed. The biggest reason why his wife could become the Pope was because he was behind her.
Therefore, it is normal for the wife to worry about her status. After all, she has never given birth to a child of the Moya family.
He coughed and said:
"Janice needs to take up a spot. With her talent, it would be a huge waste if she advances ten days or half a month later."
As the other party is Del's daughter, I have witnessed her growth and care about her more. More importantly, the girl is talented enough and can take on great responsibilities in the future.
Eliza hesitated: "I understand how talented Janice is, but she is not even 20 years old yet. Being in a high position at such a young age may make her develop a bad habit of looking down on others.
You also know that if the other party grows faster than me, it will have an adverse impact on my authority.
If the Pope is not the most powerful person in the church, it will be easier for those below him to form interest groups.
You won't have any problems in the material world, but the gods will eventually leave and enter the spiritual world. What should I do then? Generally speaking, after the first silver-level transcendent advances to the stigma gold, they can only stay in the material era for a maximum of more than two hundred years.
The lifespan of a fifth-level transcendent is far more than two hundred years, not to mention a sixth-level transcendent. Janice is too strong and is always a hidden danger.
She will be loyal now, but what about after you leave? Who knows."
She knew that with the rise and fall of the spiritual energy tide, the material world and the spiritual world would briefly overlap, but then the two worlds of different dimensions would gradually separate.
When the concentration of spiritual energy drops, the material world will no longer be able to accommodate extraordinary creatures at the level of gods. This is also the reason why gods cannot stay in the world forever.
Without her husband's support, her papal power would inevitably be usurped by her subordinates. She could not gamble on the character of her subordinates as there would be too many variables.
In some ways, a church is like a pack of white wolves in the snow. The leader must be the strongest one to lead the pack.
If the leader becomes weak one day, he will inevitably be replaced by other stronger white wolves.
This is what happened in the Kingdom of Farouk, as a result of which the Saxon family lost control of the church and the kingdom for thousands of years.
"I understand your concerns, but the most important thing now is to improve the hard power of the Ming Cult as much as possible before the evil god fully revive.
Before you go to the spirit world, I will leave you enough countermeasures.
Apart from anything else, the sixth-level golem and the Holy Light Naaru are the guarantee of your power.
Also, when I said that I could make you pregnant, it was not to comfort you, but to be truly certain.
However, bearing the direct bloodline of a god will certainly cause you great harm. I will wait until you become a sixth-rank transcendent before doing so. By then, your vitality will be strong enough, and with the help of secret techniques and potions that replenish your vitality, the harm you suffer will be minimized.
The Moya family is bound to expand, how could I not make all the arrangements properly!"
Crown has studied some of the mysteries of rebirth through blood. Theoretically, he can erase all the information about himself in his blood and only retain the normal genetic information, and then integrate the blood into the tadpoles.
In this way, Eliza will be able to conceive and give birth to children normally. There is still some time before his wife becomes a sixth-level transcendent, so he can study her leisurely.
Eliza's eyes were gentle, as if to drown the person in front of her:
"I feel relieved with your words. Bloodline inheritance is related to the rise and fall of the family. For us, it is also related to who controls the church and the kingdom. If we don't have direct descendants, the fruits of our hard work will be stolen by others. This is something I cannot tolerate.
I will also add Janice to the first group of people to receive advanced resources, but do you think their current accumulation is sufficient?"
“Janice is not far away. After the church holds the ceremony, we should be able to start preparing for advancement.
Fanny and Chloë are not as mature as they used to be, so maybe we need to wait a few more months before we can have a successful marriage."
Eliza nodded gently and continued, "What arrangements do you have for my sister's family? Both of them have ordinary extraordinary talents, but the two children have been exposed to the Golden Light Mantra Visualization Method since they were young, and have shown better talents."
"What do you think?"
Crown asked in return, not knowing whether the Moya family would prosper in the future, so he wanted to train his sister's family.
“I feel that my sister and Rodney should be given noble status, but we should not invest too much in their path to becoming extraordinary people.
The two children can be brought up well. I plan to wait until I become Pope and talk to my sister about sending the two children to the Vatican for personal training.
Children of this age have simple minds and are easy to get close to us.
When we have children, they will be able to develop close relationships with their cousins.”
Eliza didn't want Tiffany and Rodney to gain more power, and neither of them had enough ability to shoulder more responsibilities, so she directly bypassed them to train Julia and her brother.
She paused and continued:
"I also plan to select some children from White Stone Castle to train, so that I can have another group of relatives to help me."
She knew that there were several young men with excellent qualifications in the White Stone Castle, a branch of the McLean family.
"You can do whatever you want, but you have to be careful not to let these relatives take over the show.
In addition, you should also cultivate some outstanding extraordinary people from ordinary backgrounds, as these people are more willing to support you."
Crown had little experience in power struggles and could only offer a little advice.
Eliza nodded firmly: "I know what to do. The Ming Cult must be the Ming Cult controlled by the Moya family."
"I have created a brand new breathing method, and I am now passing it on to you. From now on, this breathing method can be regarded as the inherited breathing method of the Moya family."
“Is the new breathing method suitable for my physique?”
Eliza was a little unconvinced. With her husband's current level and knowledge, it would not be difficult for him to create a breathing method, but this breathing method might not be suitable for her.
You should know that a good breathing method has a bonus effect on specific groups of people. This is why the breathing methods of many large families seem very powerful to outsiders, but have average effects when practiced by other people.
This is true for every top-level breathing method. This type of breathing method is also called bloodline breathing method. All the core breathing methods of the Holy See and the Silver Wolf Howling Moon of the McLean family are top-level breathing methods.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“Of course it is suitable. This breathing method is suitable for everyone who has a certain foundation in the Golden Light Mantra.
In addition, I plan to modify the breathing method into a slightly simplified version and teach it to other high-level extraordinary people in the church and the core members of the Silver Dawn. Do you think it's okay?"
Eliza shook her head slightly: "I don't think it's a good idea. If someone has a talent for breathing techniques, they might covet our original breathing techniques.
If there are unfilial descendants in the future, they will not be able to suppress those ambitious people, but will bring disaster to them instead.
It would be great if we could let the outside world know that our breathing method is the blood breathing method. Only the Moya family can bring out the most powerful breathing method, which can reduce a lot of outside covetousness. "
Crown gave a thumbs up:
"Madam, you are very thoughtful."
Eliza snorted and complained:
"That's because you don't think carefully. You, who hold great power, don't need to think so carefully.
I am different. I don’t have invincible power, I can only think more and make fewer mistakes.”
The next day, the two archbishops of the Church of the Sun God came again. KIlk bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am sorry that I cannot attend your ceremony. I need to rush back to the Cathedral of Light to report our cooperation agreement to Your Majesty Marco.
His Excellency Edson will attend your ceremony on behalf of the Church of the Sun God, and I wish you a successful conclusion of the ceremony."
Clown nodded and said, "Messenger, please be at your service. Please give my regards to His Majesty Marco. I look forward to meeting the Sun God one day."
Kingdom of Budamia, Moon Temple.
Eunice was in the room, looking at the latest intelligence from all over the kingdom, her brows slightly furrowed.
Except for the royal capital area which is relatively stable, other regions are somewhat turbulent.
An urgent report came from Noah City, requesting reinforcements from the Holy See. The attacks of the twisted tree people were becoming more and more fierce, and their defense was becoming more and more difficult.
As a strategic location bordering the Kingdom of Namiia, once the city of Noah falls, Budamia will face constant harassment from the bloodthirsty tree people.
She found out more information about the Kingdom of Namiia, and her brows furrowed even deeper.
After the Kingdom of Namiia lost the unified leadership of the Holy See, all the dioceses near the Holy See have fallen, and other dioceses are now fighting on their own. Except for a few remote dioceses, they have all been defeated in the attacks of the tree people.
Coupled with the invasion of wild monsters, the human situation in the Kingdom of Namiia is precarious.
She sighed. Ever since the fall of several churches, the human forces that originally had a slight upper hand began to shrink rapidly.
After the evil god is fully revived, the only three kingdoms that can be relied on are Budamia, Arathi, and Farouk. The Church of the Storm Lord has accidentally retained its strength and can be considered a half ally.
This start is much weaker than the strength of the Human Alliance during the First Holy War. The only consolation is that the Moon Goddess and the Solar System have grown for nearly ten thousand years, and their hard power is much stronger than before.
The early birth of a new god among humans may bring more surprises and hope to everyone.
Eunice picked up the pen and began to write a reply to Noah City.
She asked the troops in the city to overcome difficulties and hold on for a while longer.
Along with the letter, there was also an elite force of over a thousand men from the Holy See, a large amount of war material aid, and ten thousand low-level transcendents.
With the end of the long winter in the Kingdom of Farouk, the next batch of Moon Soul Spirit Light Arrays that Clown promised would be delivered, and she planned to build these arrays in Noah City.
As long as Noah City can hold on, the combat pressure faced by the kingdom will be much less.
The magic circle can provide defensive supplements for the city, and combined with the protection magic circle, it can greatly strengthen the defense line.
At the same time, the magic circle can speed up the recovery of the extraordinary people and nourish their souls. The battle can instead cultivate a group of stronger extraordinary people faster. More silver-level extraordinary people will be born to enrich the Moon Goddess's Hand Guard.
After writing the reply, Eunice breathed a sigh of relief. Although life is difficult, as long as she can get through this darkest period, there will be the dawn of hope.
With the accumulation of a large amount of resources and her own continuous efforts, she has touched the threshold of the sixth level. She is confident that she can advance within half a year. If everything goes well, three months will be enough for her to complete the transformation.
Thinking of this, Eunice was once again glad for her wise decision. She had gone against all odds to introduce the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array, which was her most successful decision.
The people in the church discovered that although the power of the laws contained in the magic circle during the day was different from the laws of the moon, and could even be said to be completely opposite, it could actually promote the growth of physical fitness and the origin of life.
This major discovery made her gain more support and her position more stable.
Now, where to build the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array has become one of the most concerned issues for many cardinals.
Building a magic circle in Noah City can attract more high-level extraordinary people to go to the front line voluntarily, which is very beneficial to the battle situation.
Once the church has more silver-level extraordinary people, it can try to clear out the tree people in the border area between the kingdom and Namibia.
