Raise the sword sky

Chapter 546 The Famous Holy City ([-])

In order to avoid the drawbacks of the power of theocracy overpowering the power of the king, there are quite a few high-level priests and paladins among the three royal families of the Huiyao Empire. They are devout believers of the three glorious gods. Needless to say, the bloodlines of the other two royal families have also been optimized for hundreds of generations. They are all first-class high-level bloodlines. One-third of the real power faction comes from the direct line of the three royal families. In this way, the Huiyao Empire has achieved a high degree of unity of theocracy and kingship.

Among them, the one who has achieved the highest achievement is naturally the archbishop of the Temple of Dawn, Shulk Casillas, the spokesperson of the Lord of Dawn in the mortal world, and the strongest power of the Temple of Dawn among the three temples. It is firmly in the hands, which is one of the reasons why the Casillas family has gradually become the head of the three royal families in recent hundreds of years.

There is also a rumor circulating among the royal family, that is, the reason why Kristina betrayed her faith in the Lord of the Dawn but was not punished by the family was actually what Shulk meant, because Shulk was worried that if If Kristina becomes a believer, it will dilute the Lord of the Morning's divine favor towards her and affect her rights, so she is happy to see Kristina stay out of the matter and silently support her in secret.

Of course, no one dared to say this kind of thing publicly. Shulk has been in charge of the Sanguang Council for hundreds of years, and the emperors of all dynasties are just puppets under his hands. They have long been the uncrowned king of the Huiyao Empire.

So when he opened his mouth at this moment, no one dared to speak anymore.

"Christina, come and sit here."

As Shulk spoke, he patted an empty chair beside him, and the expressions of everyone around him suddenly became a little strange, because that chair had an owner, an old man from the Tanzanian family among the three royal families. Duke, but in recent years, the old Duke Shouyuan will have been bedridden and unable to participate in the parliament, but the seat has always been reserved for him.

Can this chair be used casually? The three major royal families have spread out and multiplied to this day. Not to mention the branches and direct lineages, there are more than a few hundred in total, and the total number of people who are eligible to sit here is no more than twenty, Shulk What do you mean by doing this?
I can’t help others not thinking about it, it’s the same thing in politics, sometimes a look, a movement has a special meaning, a hint, and people who don’t know how to think and interpret carefully in this respect are simply not qualified to participate in this kind of power Game, I believe that with Shulk's character, it is impossible to do such meaningless things at will.

However, no matter what Shuerke meant, Christina remained unmoved. She nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your attention, but I am not qualified to sit on that chair. I know this very well. If you have any questions, Your Highness, just ask me directly."

This was obviously not to give Shulk face, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Shulk. But Shulk was not annoyed, and just smiled and said: "Why belittle yourself, sooner or later this chair will be yours, don't you Sit down, which group of boys of your age would dare to sit down, is it possible that there will be no successors in the parliament?"

Now everyone's expressions are a bit subtle again, and I don't know if the blood of the three royal families has been accumulated and optimized to a sufficient degree, and there is a sudden explosion in Christina's generation, not just Christine The purity of Dawning Light's bloodline is unprecedented and incomparable. Most of her peers in the three royal families also have excellent bloodlines, which is greatly improved compared to their elders. Rulin, not to mention that the direct line has produced many outstanding talents even among the side branches, and she is just the representative of the strongest among them.

Among other things, there are two people who are as famous as her, namely Hammurabi Tatton of the Tatton family and Daelin Tanzani of the Tanzanian family. They are both the eldest sons of the family with pure blood. They are all young and extraordinary under the age of 20. Their rapid growth and excellent bloodlines make their elders envy and hate them. Together with Christina, they are collectively called the "Brilliant Three New Stars". An outstanding representative of the younger generation of the Glorious Empire.

However, unlike the deviant Christina, both Hammurabi and Daelin have followed the orthodox career path of the family. Hammurabi is the paladin of the Twilight King, and Daelin is the priest of the Moon Goddess. They are all in high positions in the temple system, and their future positions are almost doomed.

If there is no accident, the future head of the Tanzanian and Tatton families will inevitably fall on Hammurabi and Daelin, but Christina is different. Expulsion would be good, so she will at most be a family elder in the future, existing as a high-end force of the family.

However, according to Schulke, it puts Christina above the position of the leader of the younger generation. According to him, if Christina does not join the parliament, then other people will too. Are you not qualified?
What a joke, this is to block the way of young people from other families!
Now other people will quit, no matter how majestic Shuerke is, no one is willing to compromise on this kind of matter, and immediately a silver-haired middle-aged beautiful woman stood up and said loudly: "Your Highness Shuerke! What does this mean, please explain clearly!"

She is Sansa Tanzani, Daelin's aunt, a devout priest who has dedicated all her life to her family and the Moonlight Goddess. Daelin, who lost his parents very early, can be said to be raised by her alone. The older one treats her like a son, she has already made plans for Dai Lin's future, how can Shulk suddenly interfere?
"Please calm down, Ms. Sansa."

Shulk still smiled warmly, and said softly: "I think you have misunderstood me. I have no intention of hindering the progress of the younger generation. I just hope that Christina will not be excluded. She should have a role in the parliament. It's your own place, isn't it?"

Sansa was obviously relieved, obviously she didn't want to really turn against Shulk, so she glanced at Christina and said: "This is Kristina's own choice, she doesn't believe in the three glorious gods I am not allowed to join the parliament, this is not my decision, but a long-standing tradition, in fact, I also like Christina very much.?"

As soon as this remark was made, the Tanzanian and Tatton family members who were present all agreed. In fact, apart from the Casillas family, the other two families were more fortunate than Christina’s deviant back then. Well, being suppressed by a Shulk for hundreds of years is already aggrieved enough. They don't want to produce a stronger Shulk in the future, so it is almost a tacit joint decision of the two families to reject Christina.
