goddess of revolution

Chapter 22 The Court and the King

Li Qi pretended to be stupid: "Sir, I don't understand what you are saying. Why should I persuade the church to refuse to be loyal to the court? Isn't the court the official church of the kingdom?"

Fortunately, Tarrence advised him not to disclose the identity of the pope, and this temple is only a branch, making outsiders think that the church of the Scarlet Lady has more power.

"Viscount Prior, you are much smarter than your father..."

Sir McGore shook his head: "But it is not enough to have brains, you must also have eyes that can see the situation clearly."

He also pointed to the hall: "The viscount has been wandering outside. It seems that he doesn't like such things like me."

I really don't like it very much. If he was thrown directly into the hall by the goddess, he would definitely think that he ran into the scene of the evil god's sacrifice.

Li Qi sighed: "I'm not an ascetic. I don't think I have the right to interfere with other people who occasionally go wild. But just now I saw some... things that violate ethics. Is this okay?"

"Your Excellency, the Viscount is really young and innocent." Sir McGore said with a sneer, "Don't you know that this is the sacrificial ceremony of Ms. Joy? Why do these people like to attend banquets? Because no matter how indulgent they are at the banquet, how can they ignore taboos? , will not be blamed, this is to please the gods."

To please the gods?Lady Joy's faith has fallen to this point?

Li Qi was very puzzled: "Ms. Huanyue still has the priesthood of love, right? Isn't this mixing love with lust?

"The viscount also believes in love? It seems that we have more common languages."

Viscount McGore's gloomy face eased slightly: "Before... at least a few hundred years ago, the banquet of Ms. Joy was not like this."

"At the joyful banquet at that time, the guests were as simple as you, the Viscount. Everyone gathered around the fire or the bonfire, and the women chatted about their family affairs and how they dressed. The men boasted how capable they were, how virtuous their wives were, and how smart their children were. .Everyone got drunk and held hands and danced the Harvest Dance together."

"The most anticipated part of the banquet, in the middle of the night, boys and girls will confess to each other to see who can get a kiss from the person they like."

That's right, that's how Li Qi longed for the banquet before.

"Why did it become like this?"

Li Qi's questioning did not make McGore impatient, and he also sighed: "Yeah, no one thought that Ms. Huanyue's belief would be distorted like this."

"Just like the love you mentioned, Viscount, the goddess of love, Tenevi, fell in the battle of gods thousands of years ago, and her priesthood was divided up. Ms. Joy was assigned the 'joy of love', which was very holy at first."

"Ms. Huanyue, together with the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Dawn, spread love, marriage, family happiness, and the desire to reproduce to the whole world, allowing people to stand up again on the ruins of the alternation of eras and the war of gods, Finn is back to life, too."

"Lady Joy is looking more and more like Lady Chastity these days," he said with biting sarcasm.

Lady Chastity has fallen in the last era, but her reputation spanned the era, and people are still talking about it because of her fall.

Originally she was enthroned as the patron saint of virginity and purity, but over time her beliefs were distorted into "purity of heart".As for the body, it is just a skin, no matter how much you take drugs and promiscuously sell meat, as long as you believe in the lady of chastity, you are still a good girl...

Ms. Chastity left behind a "Pink Book", just like the "House-Zhongshu" on the other side of the earth, with a scientific and pious attitude, it tells how to keep the "pure" of the heart in various carnal desires, It was the book that made Fern's gentlemen haunt the chaste lady.

Li Qi was a little surprised: "Sir, are you saying that Ms. Joy has fallen?"

"Isn't this an obvious fact? Not only Ms. Huanyue, but the entire loyal court has fallen! Viscount, you are here, don't you feel this?"

Sir McGore's firm expression made Li Qi feel that the role was misplaced. Compared with himself, the king's second aide was more like a revolutionary.

"You Xiang..."

Li Qi tried hard to recall, and found that the impression of the original owner was that he was in a luxurious paradise, but he, a country boy, could only look up.

"Youxiang is just one side. Here in the kingdom, loyalty to the court is not only a matter of his own depravity, but also corrupts the entire kingdom."

McGore seemed to be fighting for Li Qi: "Look at those people and see what they have in common, I mean identity."

There are two types of people attending the banquet, one is the secular nobles, the other is the clergy of the church, what they have in common...

No, there are no two types of people!
Li Qi suddenly realized that there is only one type of people here, nobles!
Countess of Behemia, saint of elegant ladies.

Issus-Modewen, high priestess of the goddess of art.

His neighbor, Baron Deswan, is the knight mentor of the knight god Huma.

The Baroness is the priest of the god of music.

Deswan's sister Lena is a priest of the noble goddess.

Lena's husband is a paladin of the guardian god Kem.

All the guests attending the banquet were either secular nobles or nobles who served as priests of the church.

"The viscount should understand that the loyal court of the kingdom and the nobles of the kingdom are intertwined and have become one."

Sir McGore looked around, his voice lowered, but his tone became eager: "You are still young, Viscount, and you have been away from the kingdom for too long, so you don't know what happened in the kingdom."

Yo, who said the same thing just now...

"You've seen the aristocrat's debauchery and extravagance, but the other side is to squeeze the people and fish the people. In the north of the kingdom, some people have risen up. The king wants to alleviate the suffering of the people and benefit the people, but he is under the control of the gods. It's going to be tough."

"Your Excellency the Viscount, if you take refuge in the divine court, don't expect to stick to your beliefs, let alone survive this depraved turbidity."

Sir McGore said earnestly as if calling on revolutionary comrades: "You are a small lord in a remote country, I am a bastard who was excluded by the family, and we are all objects of oppression by the court. Join the king and become the king to sweep away Dark sword!"

At that moment, Li Qi thought he had found an organization.

Li Qi stayed for a while, and then pretended to be eager to say: "The actions of the gods really worry me. If I can do something for the kingdom, I am of course obliged to do it. What exactly do you want me to do? ?”

"Hahaha……"

McGore suddenly laughed out loud: "I'm just joking."

His face darkened in an instant: "Except for the extension of the debt period, the Viscount doesn't have to take it seriously."

Ghosts don't take it seriously!
Li Qi secretly thought that his acting skills were not good enough. This guy didn't believe in him at all, so he shrank back after trying it out.

"The last thing I want to mention is serious..."

McGore said: "If the viscount is willing to enter the royal family, the king can forgive this debt and keep your territory, of course in name, and only enjoy a fixed annuity."

Be a consort! ?

A goddess, not the funny woman who was the goddess of revolution, but the perfect woman in the original owner's memory flashed in Li Qi's mind, instantly igniting the hormone reactor in his body.

Princess Teresia!

When I was a child, I admired this beautiful and generous princess very much. In Hadron Kingdom, everyone said that the Countess is the best lover and Princess Teresia is the best wife.

If you can marry this princess, the great cause of revolution can be discussed in the long run.

Li Qi's expression was too bright, and McGore corrected with pity: "It's Princess Catherine."

Li Qi's face froze, that princess whose face was covered with pus and sores and had to put on a layer of iron armor all day long?

Even the best acting skills are useless, which is a serious insult.

Li Qipi smiled and said: "I will prepare the five thousand gold bushes as soon as possible. How dare you keep owing the king's money?"

"Your Excellency, there is no need to refuse immediately."

Sir McGore said meaningfully: "You can regard this money as a debt, and you can also regard it as an opportunity to obtain the goodwill of His Majesty the King. Such an opportunity is very rare."

"I should still have time, right?" Li Qi thought to himself, you just picked up the joke just now.

"Of course", Sir McGore nodded, and then left without saying anything.

Looking at Sir McGore's back, Li Qi sighed.

I thought that the situation would be clear after the temple was built and the banquet was held, but I didn't expect to face the choice of standing in line immediately.

Fortunately, both the court and the king should still be observing the church, and it is unlikely that there will be any big news about him in the short term.
