MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 694 : this is your time

In the Moonlight Cathedral, the Pope, who was meditating, felt a feeling in the dark, and then slowly opened his eyes, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Is something wrong?" asked the archbishop beside him.

The Pope said with a strange expression: "Do you still remember that prophecy I made twelve years ago?"

The archbishop recalled it carefully, and was a little speechless: "Of course I remember that twelve years ago, Simon came to the cathedral for the first time. You predicted that he would be the most honored guest in the history of the cathedral, but obviously, that was another failure. prophecy."

Although Simon is now the king and the holy son of the church, his status is respected, but if he is the most honored guest in the history of the cathedral, it would be a bit too exaggerated.

Among the heroes and great men who have visited the cathedral, regardless of the great men from other countries, at least the identity of the first silver moon king, the demigod Amilcare, is far more noble than the current Simon. The incarnation of the goddess of moonlight together gave birth to the current silver moon royal family.

Pope Moonlight shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "No, that's not a prophecy of failure, it's just that it was a little earlier in time."

He used to think that the prophecy was just his imagination, but the invisible throb just now made him instantly understand the truth of the matter.

The prediction is correct, but the time axis is wrong. It is not an instant prediction, but a long-term prediction spanning decades or even hundreds of companies.

The archbishop frowned: "What do you mean?"

Pope Moonlight looked solemnly at the outer hall: "He is finally coming!"

 …

The once magnificent and beautiful Moonlight Cathedral now reveals the desolation of the western mountains at dusk. Simon, who got off the carriage, felt something, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He is very clear that there is actually no fundamental difference between the Moonlight Church and the temples of the gods. The clergy who never engage in production activities only maintain the majesty of the gods by exploiting the people.

But there are still some differences.

The Moonlight Church is the native church of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Although it also exploits the wealth of the people, it will always leave a trace of sympathy when it strikes, so as not to make the people unable to live.

Take the long-term, sustainable development route.

Foreign churches like the Temple of the Gods are different. In order to suppress the Moonlight Church as soon as possible, they will develop their own power at all costs.

Whether the people can survive is none of their business, anyway, this is not the territory they control.

Even if there is no way to bring down the Moonlight Church in the end and let the Silver Moon Kingdom have more dead people, isn't it weakening the Moonlight Church in disguise?

Secondly, the Moonlight Church had already completed primitive accumulation by exploiting the people thousands of years ago. There were temples and churches all over the country, and the income and expenditure and daily consumption had already reached a balance.

But the temples of the gods are different. They just came to the Silver Moon Kingdom empty-handed. They want the temples of the human gods to bloom everywhere in the Silver Moon Kingdom, so they have to repeat the process of exploiting the people again.

Building temples and churches, holding masses and ceremonies, and training clergy, which one does not cost money? But the clergy are not engaged in production, so where does the money come from? It's not about grabbing from the hands of the people!

All in all, the difference between the Moonlight Church and the Temple of the Gods is roughly equivalent to that of a farmer and a poacher.

For farmers, every sheep is a precious asset. Although some sheep will be slaughtered for food from time to time, it will not be mass-killed.

Poachers are different. Anyway, they are other people's sheep, and they earn money every time they kill a sheep, so of course they can kill as many as they can.

And Simon, the king, is equivalent to the investor of the farm. The farmer is greedy to eat a few sheep, which has little effect on the overall income, so he just turns a blind eye.

But poachers who may make the farm lose everything must be severely cracked down!

With a heavy heart, Simon walked up the steps step by step, and the archbishop had already been waiting in front of the cathedral. After seeing Simon, he immediately held his arms: "Welcome, my esteemed majesty!"

Simon forced a smile, and hugged the archbishop who was a bit fat: "Your Excellency, where is the Pope?"

The Archbishop let go of Simon, his face was a little weird. Is the prophecy of the idiot Pope really reliable? So far, his prophecy has never been fulfilled.

There were many thoughts, and finally, the archbishop's thousands of words were combined into one sentence: "He is waiting for you in the quiet room."

Simon nodded, and was not surprised by this. The church's intelligence system has always been powerful, and the Temple of the Gods is menacing, and the Moonlight Church has countless eyes on it.

And he just dealt with a matter related to the temple of the gods, and there was a lot of commotion. The Moonlight Church will definitely follow the trend of this matter, and naturally know his whereabouts.

When they came to the quiet room, Simon and the Pope sat cross-legged on the futon, with a small table between them. The archbishop who led the way retreated out with great interest, and locked the door of the quiet room.

The two people in the quiet room looked at each other, no one spoke, and the quiet room was quiet.

After a long time, Pope Moonlight heaved a long sigh, and looked at Simon with a complicated expression: "We haven't talked for a long time."

Simon spent only a handful of times in the cathedral these years. After he became king, he came a lot, but unfortunately, he came here to find the two elf lovers.

This Holy Son is clearly incompetent...

Simon smiled helplessly: "No way, who asked me to be busy! I am busy with the affairs of the Hawke family, my friends and lover, and now I am busy with the affairs of the Silver Moon Kingdom."

Pope Moonlight nodded knowingly, took out a bottle of wine, pulled out the cork, and poured a glass for himself and Simon respectively: "How do you feel about being a king?"

Simon took the wine bottle, took a sip, and was silent for a moment: "Busy, tired, confused, more and more troubles, and more and more stress."

After finishing speaking, Simon laughed at himself again: "To be honest, I feel at a loss and don't know how to govern this country well."

After all, he is just an ordinary person, even if he is lucky enough to travel to this world, it will not change the fact that he was just an ordinary person in his previous life.

In his previous life, he had an average appearance, an average IQ, and an average family background. He was completely a model of the attributes of a passerby.

Although he is familiar with the history of Blue Star, among the students in the same class, there are not many people who are better than him, let alone those students from other classes, as well as those experts and professors.

Such an ordinary passerby, even if he travels to another world, it is impossible to grow into a hero in an instant.

Pope Moonlight shrugged and comforted: "You have done a good job. Even if the sage kings from all over the world take over the Silver Moon Kingdom five years ago, they may not necessarily do better than you."

Simon laughed at himself again, shaking his wine glass, and said, "Silvermoon Kingdom is strong today only because of the alchemy techniques I invented. Leaving aside those alchemy techniques, I really have no skills in governing the country."

He knew very well how capable he was, and without the bonus brought by Blue Star's knowledge, he would be nothing, and this was indeed true.

If someone can comment fairly and objectively, the Silvermoon Kingdom after he took over, aside from those alchemy creations, he has almost no strategy for governing the country in the past few years.

In fact, during the period of the new law, Simon felt that his control had reached its limit, and he took over the Silver Moon Kingdom rashly. He was simply unable to control the operation of the entire country.

Because of this, he often feels powerless and hesitant.

Pope Moonlight looked into Simon's eyes: "But those alchemy creations were indeed brought by you, didn't you? I still say that, in the current Silver Moon Kingdom, no one can be a better king than you. "

Simon was silent for a long time this time before he opened his mouth and said, "What do you think about the erosion of faith in the temples of the gods?"

Finally got this kid out...

Seeing that Simon began to talk about state affairs, Pope Moonlight smiled: "The most critical factor in the erosion of faith in the Temple of the Gods this time is the empire standing behind the Temple of the Gods. If the Silver Moon Kingdom cannot resist, the pressure from the Empire, The Moonlight Church will also be powerless against the Temple of the Gods."

In terms of evangelism, the major orthodox churches are actually equally divided, and no one is better than the other.

Although the power of the Temple of the Gods is huge, but if you really want to fight against the Moonlight Church in the mainland, in fact, that is the case. The Moonlight Church's winning rate is not ordinary.

But the problem lies in the empire behind the temple of the gods. Once the temple of the gods fails in preaching, the empire will definitely put pressure on the Silver Moon Kingdom.

As long as the Silver Moon Kingdom can't handle it, it must give the Temples of the Gods a certain amount of missionary convenience. If the two sides can't fight fairly, the Moonlight Church will be a ghost if they can win...

Simon murmured with blurred eyes: "But the territory of the empire is dozens of times that of the Silvermoon Kingdom, and the gap between the army and the legendary powerhouse is even greater. How can the Silvermoon Kingdom resist such a behemoth?"

Pope Moonlight looked at Simon: "That's your problem, you are the king of Silvermoon Kingdom!"

The expression on Simon's face seemed to be struggling~www.novelbuddy.com~ He gritted his teeth for a while, and clenched his fists for a while, as if he hadn't made up his mind yet, and just like that, the quiet room became quiet again.

After a long time, Simon finally gritted his teeth: "I have some plans in my mind, but I don't know whether it is right or wrong to do so?"

The Pope Moonlight looked at Simon solemnly: "Simon, as I said, this is not the era of the original Silver Moon King Amilcare, nor the era of King Ambition Bradley, nor the era of King St. George.

This is your time! The Age of King Simon! You are the king of Silvermoon Kingdom!

During your reign, as long as you think something is right, then he is right, even the goddess of moonlight has no right to interfere! "

The words of Pope Moonlight made Simon feel a heavy weight. He recalled that when the priests of the temples forcibly confiscated property today, the people looked at him expectantly.

A great pain lingered in Simon's heart. He knew that as long as he took this step, the future would be accompanied by many sacrifices and pain.

But when the temples of the gods are stronger and more powerful than the last, and those people look at him expectantly, what should he do?

And the malice of empire.

Several experiences in the empire have told Simon that blindly giving in is useless, it will only make the tolerated act more recklessly.

Some people...he is cheap!

Concession is just to avoid conflicts and show friendship, but they always think that others are weak and can be bullied.

That being the case, let them be sober this time!

Simon closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them abruptly. The cold gaze made Pope Moonlight terrified: "I want to meet Her Majesty the Goddess!"
