Public trial?You deserve it too!

In order to stabilize the rule, the army has become the second class, only under the jurisdiction of the first class, and they are superior to others-then the free people, pay attention, the free people who own the land, become the third class, and their benchmark is The common people of the empire are also the largest class.

However, in order to stabilize the common people, the empire chose to give them opportunities, compulsory education, imperial examinations, selection of magic power, serving the country in the army, countless life-changing opportunities before them, naturally they would not consider rebellion.

And the choice of the Theocracy is not to give opportunities—it is to continue to subdivide the civilians into classes, and let them know, hey, there are people who have a worse life than you.

This is the servants of the gods, the fourth class of society—they are nominally free, but have no land of their own, and can only live by attaching to the first and second classes—although they are not as good as ordinary people, but at least they can See how some powerful dog legs are domineering.

And then all they can think is, if I can get Master's appreciation, I'll be able to... blah blah blah.

But these are still not enough. After all, painting cakes is not really enough to satisfy hunger. After painting too much, people will gradually develop drug resistance-so how to make these mud legs obedient and stop being rebellious all day long?

The answer is simple, let these oppressed taste the sweetness of being an oppressor.

As long as these civilians and servants of the gods also have people they can oppress, and when they can reap happiness by oppressing other people, then they won't think about resisting their oppressors.

Their thinking will change from how to resist their oppressors to how to vent their oppressed anger on those they can also oppress - so that they will only envy the oppressors instead of leading the oppressed to rebel .

The strategy of fooling the people has been like this since ancient times.

Thus the fifth class [Guilty Ones] was born.

They embody the evils of a country, but their number is less than one-tenth of the entire country, which makes them even unable to fight against the Church with collective strength—because they account for more than 80.00% of the entire country's population The civilians and servants of the gods are unreservedly tilting their malice toward them.

The enemy identified by the collective is the enemy—and the [culprit] is the enemy identified by the collective.

So bishops and knights enjoy the offerings of civilians and servants of God, feel the beauty of the heaven on earth, and even the air they breathe is sweet, while the people angrily pour curses and malice on the "enemy", but never think that Bishop they have any fault.

The guilty ones can only stay in the shadow of this "heaven on earth", rotting and smelly, without any hope.

——Because even they themselves will think that they are the most shameful part of the Theocracy.

No one can save them, nor any hope of awakening them.

They are the stepping stones of the entire Theocracy.

The Burning World: Chapter 243 Chapter 220 Seven This makes ta full of determination

Claude picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and reawakened his mind with the spiciness and pain of alcohol.

Even he knows what real evil is.

The Theocracy is the absolute evil in the human world.

"...This is the reason why the Theocracy is still standing. There are [Guilders]. If there is no external force, then their structure will always be impenetrable."

Humphrey sighed.

When he first came into contact with the social structure of the Theocracy, he was also shocked. After seeing a lot later, he gradually realized that this is equivalent to sacrificing nearly one-tenth of the total population in exchange for a stable , and even imprisoned the wisdom of the people, completely treating the common people as pigs.

In the Theocracy, birth means everything. Apart from that, unless you have magic power, there is no possibility to continue to climb up. The wisdom and possibility of the common people are completely stifled. It is not so much a person, but a group of people who have no self-thinking ability dog.

If the largest class in a country is locked to the upper limit, then what hope is there for this country?What future?

"Yes, impregnable... hope their graves are as strong."

Rarely, Claude's words were as angry as his real feelings.

But in fact, his mood was much heavier than anger.

The reason is very simple, since Humphrey helped him confirm the social structure of the Theocracy, and also helped him fill in the details, then his piece of the puzzle has been filled——

The ruler of the Theocracy, last but not least, is in the same situation as the emperor of the empire-the whole body is covered with ancestral plaques.

The reason is very simple, the superiority of the caste system - yes, although Crowder is very reluctant to admit this piece of mud, no, this piece of shit, but he really has a fucking superiority thing, that is the whole country Extremely stable.

And what a stable class brings is the unshakable position of the ruler—that is to say, this system is extremely dependent on the degree of elites of the first class and the duration of this class's maintenance of elite status.

Then the question came one after another. In the face of such an unreasonable BUG-level existence of the empire, how could the Theocracy survive for a thousand years, and it is still jumping happily?

So there is only one answer——The Theocracy has a thousand-year rule.

That's why the Theocracy chose such a system when the Theocracy was established—because when the upper echelon can always make the right choice, shutting up the people below and being pigs is the choice that can maximize one's abilities.

Although this choice is full of efficiency supremacy and overwhelming self-confidence, the advantage is that it saves countless troubles, no constraints, and no resistance.

Of course, the price is that 90.00% of the people over five in the whole country can no longer be called human beings.

They have no creativity, no thoughts, no brains, and they are not so much people as puppets under command.

The Gestalt youth version belongs to yes.

Claude hated this deeply. If it was him, he would definitely choose the empire as the inheritance to continue, because it represents the infinite possibilities of human beings-the superior is only responsible for the helm of the country, rather than forcing decisions and execution everywhere.

It filled him with determination.

"I'm sorry in advance, no matter what, even if it's tied to your graduation, this Theocracy, and this shit holy religion, I can't allow them to exist any longer. '

Claude's words were decisive and did not mean to discuss.

【Um. 】

Strangely, the system didn't intend to refute or ask questions, and hummed very obediently.

'If your graduation requirement is to create an Theocracy to rule the world, it can't be the Theocracy—I'll destroy the whole world first, and then I'll build you a new religion, a new Theocracy. '

【......it is good. 】

'If that doesn't count as your graduation...'

Claude scratched his head worriedly. After all, the destruction of the Theocracy was his own selfishness. He should not let others pay for his actions, and the help of the system is also indispensable to him. There is no way to maintain the relationship between them...

[Then you are not allowed to die, and take me to the next world to continue my graduation project. 】

The system quickly picked up the conversation.

Hey?

Claude was taken aback

[This is the result of you, teacher, isn’t it? I postponed it because of your willfulness—so you must take responsibility for me! 】

'Um......'

[Even if it's overtime, you asked for it yourself!Your task is to let me graduate. If I don’t graduate, even if you haven’t finished your work, you have to work overtime. In short, even if you don’t want to be resurrected, at least you are not allowed to die until the work is completed! 】

'...What kind of capitalist from another world are you?Is your racial civilization a megacorporation? '

Claude raised his forehead.

[Then you agree? 】

Even Claude couldn't tell whether there were other feelings in this question.

'Agreed, of course I agreed, I said, my behavior will not let others pay for it, since you are willing to accommodate me and let me destroy the Theocracy first, then how could I just watch you fail to graduate? '

Claude sighed.

"Work overtime, just work overtime—it's self-inflicted anyway. If this world can't help you graduate, we'll go to the next world."

【good!That's a deal!Never go back on your word! 】

'What are you regretting, isn't my life still in your hands? '

Claude rolled his eyes in his heart, always feeling that the system was struggling with something inexplicable.

But now, he didn't want to care about it. After the transaction with the system was completed, he wanted to listen to Humphrey's answer to another question with more focus.

"The above is the situation about the social structure of the Church."

Humphrey also took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and began to answer Claude's second question.

"As for the political aspects of Theocracy, that's more interesting."

He showed a somewhat self-effacing smile.

"I'm not boasting, Director Claude, no one understands the politics of the Theocracy better than I do—it can even be said that it is I Single-handedly facilitated!"

Claude showed an expression of interest—because the system told him that the old man Humphrey did not lie.

In other words, the other party really contributed to the formation of the Theocracy's current political situation, and it was not intercepted by the Theocracy's intelligence department.

This is very interesting, because it is impossible for the Theocracy not to discover Humphrey, but if they find out, it is impossible for them not to take action?With Humphrey's current expression and true mental state, it doesn't look like a double-faced agent can do it.

'Then there is only one possibility. '

['If the game is beneficial to you, then even if you are in the game, why break the game'-this is what you taught me, teacher. 】

'Yeah, let's see what this old man said. I really want to see how the situation he is proud of, and the situation he thinks is beneficial to the empire, can also be beneficial to the helm of the Theocracy's intelligence agency . '

The old man was full of energy. After drinking, instead of being drowsy, he became full of energy.

"In the current Theocracy, the pope's order to leave the Vatican is worthless. Only the warrants of the cardinals can be circulated, so in essence, the supreme leader of the Theocracy has been completely emptied, and the whole person has been emptied. Excluding the authority of the Theocracy."

Humphrey first told a situation that was beyond Claude's expectations.

"What did you say?"

Claude's question was almost blurted out, and he didn't even bother to use honorifics.

"The Pope has been completely emptied, and power has been completely dispersed in the hands of the cardinals of the various dioceses."

Humphrey didn't think it was disobedient, but repeated it to Claude with certainty.

"The cardinals have mastered the administrative and military power of the entire church, but this situation, for a complete country, is almost a disaster - because they are equivalent to the great nobles of our empire, the parish It is their fiefdom, and this situation means that splitting is almost an inevitable trend."

"If it wasn't for the empire's side, and the beliefs of the middle and lower classes in the Theocracy are still strong, I'm afraid these cardinals would have wanted to crack the earth and seal the king a long time ago--if the empire can find a way to buy off one or two cardinals, that would be great That's it, just promise them to split the land and become the king."

The old man shook his head regretfully.

"Originally, I worked hard in this direction, but unfortunately, the emperor just slaughtered all the big nobles this year-they also directly surrendered and kept their fiefs before. With these lessons learned, I am afraid that the cardinals I won't be fooled."

Apparently, the word "deceived" also expressed his true intention.

It's just that Claude has no time to play word-picking games with Humphrey - the shocking facts in the other party's mouth conflict with the conclusion he just made.

The Pope was emptied?And the order cannot leave the Vatican?

But how is this possible?If the Theocracy was a parliamentary system of bishops, how could the empire tolerate the Theocracy for so many years?

If the merchant alliance borders the empire, you can see whether the emperor's dictatorship can beat up these lip-smacking parliamentary parties and it's over.

Is it fake?

But even if it's a fake, what's the reason?

The emperor pretended to compromise with the great nobles in order to wait for the right opportunity to put them all together - but the pope's compromise with the bishop is not the same thing as this!

On the side of the empire, the emperor has a large army in his hands. He is not afraid of the rebellion of the great nobles, but he is afraid that the great nobles will not rebel-waiting for these clowns to send their own declarations, but can you teach the country to play this trick?At that time, there will be a religious war, why am I a true believer and you are a fake believer, so there will be no smoke everywhere?

At that time, I will choose something to choose the emperor bishop, and it will be directly broken into the Shinra of 1806.

Oh, and there's no Shinra in 1806, that's fine.

So Claude is now in a state of extreme confusion.

The system of the Theocracy, the rulers without a thousand-year-old heritage are no match for the empire. Have you seen that the elves with a thousand-year-old ruler are still biting the bullet and fighting with the empire on the eastern front, while the orcs without a thousand-year-old ruler are about to die in the north? was wiped out.

But the Pope, who has been passed down for thousands of years, is at this level?What about your army?your intelligence...

Ok?

What about other intelligence agencies?what are you doing?

Claude thought about it.

And Humphrey was talking endlessly, talking about how after he discovered such a situation, relying on one mouth, he managed to split the bishops who were originally divided into those who supported the Pope and those who opposed the Pope. A fifth.

The split that originally supported the Pope became those who supported the Pope's dictatorship and those who supported the Pope's council, while those who opposed the Pope were divided into those who wanted to have no Pope's council, and those who wanted the Pope to declare parish autonomy.

There is another faction that is even more outrageous - those who want to invest in the empire to make a lot of money and become a great nobleman.

But this year there should be no such people. The old emperor did too badly to deceive anyone.

Even so, Humphrey also made the Theocracy's successful business alliance parliamentary. The bishops met every day, and then they couldn't make any normal decisions for a year. There were often completely opposite orders.

The old man drank the wine in the glass and moistened his throat.

Logically speaking, this should be regarded as the meaning of seeing off guests, but Humphrey is obviously not that stupid. Claude was introduced by the director, and he has known him in the imperial capital for the past few years-this is a general who thought he had a bright future. Ah, it's always good to have more friends.

So he poured a glass of wine himself, and turned his gaze to Claude who was still thinking.

"Is there anything else you want to ask? Knight Claude?"

"I shouldn't have bothered you so much, but since I really don't have many chances to meet you, please forgive my impoliteness."

Claude said a little apologetically.
