Evil Dragon: The baby dragon I picked up always wants to be the empress.

Chapter 464: Bishop, I dare to confront you in front of the God of War!

Griffin had his own ideas about taking Lucia to Anselm Province of the Farolan Empire. The Anselm Province believed in the God of War, so the people in this province were tough and martial, and bravery and integrity were imprinted in their souls.

Theocracy and imperial power were also fighting openly and secretly in this area. During the time he stayed in this province, theocracy suppressed imperial power.

He felt that the new emperor of the Farolan Empire was actually very powerful, but after several decrees targeting the temple left the imperial capital, they were misinterpreted by some clergy of the temple, and then the misinterpreted decrees were passed on to the people of the Farolan Empire.

This led to varying degrees of rebellious sentiment in the major provinces of the Farol Empire.

However, these have little to do with the golden dragon. He will not interfere in the fight between humans and the major temples. He took Lucia to the province of Anselm to see whether Lucia would choose to use divine power to achieve her goals.

He would also stand on the side of officials loyal to the Farolan Empire and use the power of the Farolan Empire to undermine the suppression of theocracy over imperial power.

Of course, he hoped that Lucia could conquer this province. If she could do that, she could start to erode the surrounding provinces from this province and become the emperor of the Farol Empire in a few years or even a dozen years.

The golden dragon Griffin let Lucia fly onto his dragon's back, and he carried her to the Anselm province of the Farollan Empire.

The young dragon Lucia wanted to refuse, but the golden dragon Griffin saw her idea and told her to jump on his back without worry, and he would not feel humiliated.

The young dragon agreed.

The brave warriors Leon and Evelyn were carried flying by the green dragon Drummond, but they were not treated like young dragons. The green dragon Drummond held them in his dragon claws and flew them.

All the pure-blooded dragons present followed Lucia to the Anselm Province of the Farolan Empire.

On the way to Anselm, the golden dragon Griffin asked the young dragon Lucia what she thought about the conflict between imperial power and divine power.

Griffin's question reminded Youlong of what Lance once said. He said that the so-called struggle between divine power and imperial power was actually a attempt by some small-minded, power-hungry, and control-hungry clergy in the temple to use the power of the gods to dominate millions of people.

The imperial family just doesn't want to be controlled by such rubbish clergy.

Once the clergy who want to place themselves above the imperial power discover that such a person has appeared in the imperial family, they will bring up theocracy and accuse him of wanting to blaspheme the gods and place himself above all gods.

Youlong remembered that she asked Lance at that time how the emperor of the empire should resolve this situation?

Lance grinned and said that if he encountered such a situation, he would just kill the Pope in the temple who was very controlling and liked to make accusations, saying that he was squandering divine power and using the power of the gods to benefit himself.

Or they could go to the temple and debate with the pope in front of the gods and statues to see if the gods would respond to what the pope or clergy in the temple said.

She silently kept Lance's words in mind.

She felt that Lance's words could resolve the conflict between theocracy and imperial power.

It was also the first time that she realized that the thoughts of the temple clergy were not the thoughts of the gods.

The gods have no interest in worldly power.

If the existence of imperial power really displeases divine power, there should be kingdoms of gods everywhere in the world, instead of kingdoms and empires as we have now.
These are still countries where humans are in charge of their own development.

Well, that's what Lance said.

Therefore, the young dragon is not afraid of the clergy of the Farolan Empire Temple at all.

If the temple clergy dared to bring up the gods, she would dare to ask the gods in front of their statues whether the gods had instructed the temple clergy to suppress the imperial power.

"It's not a struggle between divine power and imperial power. It's that some clergy in the temple who have lost their ideals and faith are using the power of the gods to suppress and restrict the imperial family. These clergy in the temple who have lost their ideals and faith are blaspheming the gods. They want to drag the holy gods into the mortal world and taint their divinity.

For these clergymen, what I can do is to punish them on behalf of the gods and make them sweep the streets."

???

Can the war between theocracy and imperial power be understood in this way?

Not
How did this silly-looking Princess Lucia come up with the idea of ​​separating the clergy from the gods and divine authority?

If Her Highness Lucia's idea spreads widely in the Farol Empire, then the clergy in the major temples who want to suppress the imperial power will be punished.
The people of the Farol Empire will subconsciously question the temple clergy.
Obediently
This is similar to the various major temples misinterpreting the Farolan Empire's policies against the temples.
As expected of someone who has eaten the fruit of wisdom
Dragon Knight Hela, Brave Leon, and Evelyn were also shocked by the young dragon's words.

There has always been an invisible struggle between royal power and divine power, and between imperial power and divine power.

Generally speaking, when there is a conflict between the two, people will subconsciously feel that offending the temple clergy is offending the gods.
Once this idea came up, there was almost no solution.

However, now, His Royal Highness the Young Regent has severed the relationship between the temple clergy, the divine power and the gods by saying that they have lost their ideals and faith. As a result, the contradiction between royal power and divine power, and between imperial power and divine power, is the contradiction between the royal family, the royal family and individual temple clergy.

In this case, the people of both the kingdom and the empire would naturally prefer to stand on the side of the kingdom and the empire.

I didn’t expect that this little Regent Prince (little ancestor) is actually quite something.

They don't dare to challenge the gods, but they dare to deal with clergy who have lost their faith.

Several pure-blooded dragons also thought of the lethality in the young dragon's words. It seemed that Her Highness Lucia had chosen to stand on the side of the Farolan Empire.

Instead of choosing to stand on the side of the temple.

If this happens, the clergy of the major temples will probably suffer greatly.

Great, great, I didn’t expect that there would be something exciting to watch when I was with this prince.

As a pure-blooded dragon, he loves to cause trouble, and he also likes to watch others cause trouble.

It gets even more interesting when the temple is involved.

I just don't know if Her Highness Lucia can defeat the clergy of the major temples of the Farolan Empire.

"How long does it take to get to Anselm Province?" the young dragon asked the golden dragon Griffin.

"It will take about five days. Of course, if Her Highness Lucia doesn't rest and can adapt to the high-intensity flight, she can reach Anselm Province in three days."

"Three days! I want to be in Anselm Province within three days!"

Time is running out, her whereabouts have been exposed. With Lance's ability, it won't be long before he appears in the Holy Light Domain.

Then, through the Holy Light Empire, her latest whereabouts can be found. She must become the emperor of the Farolan Empire before Lance finds her!
Therefore, there can be no delay at all, and there can be no slow pace in becoming the emperor of the Farol Empire.

"understand!"

The golden dragon Griffin grinned and increased its flying speed.

Seeing this, several other pure-blooded dragons also flapped their wings and sped up.

After two sleepless days, the golden dragon Griffin carried the young dragon into the territory of the Farollan Empire. On the morning of the third day, Griffin and the young dragon entered the province of Anselm.

"Your Highness Lucia, below is the Anselm Province. Are you going to the city where the administrative hall of the Anselm Province is located? Or are you going to the Temple of the God of War?"

"Take me directly to the Temple of Martial God." The young dragon instructed the golden dragon Griffin, and turned to look at the dragon knight Hela not far away: "Hela, go to the Anselm Administrative Hall and ask the highest official of Anselm Province to come to the Temple of Martial God to see me. When you meet the highest official, tell him directly that the emperor of the Farollan Empire is waiting for him in the Temple of Martial God. If he doesn't come, you can force him to come to the Temple of Martial God to see me."

"."

Dragon Knight Hela grinned. This little ancestor really didn't take the officials of the Farolan Empire seriously. Moreover, he felt that this little prince became more arrogant after entering the Farolan Empire. Every move he made revealed that this empire belonged to her.
The problem is, she is not the emperor of the Farol Empire.
etc.
This little ancestor said that she was the princess of the empire. Oh my god, could she really be the princess of the Farol Empire?

impossible.

No matter how you think about it, this possibility is unlikely.

"I'm afraid I can't do it alone."

“Drummond, take Ackerman and Hela with you to the Anselm Administrative Hall. If Chief Administrative Officer Anselm attacks you, you can say that you are followers of the Emperor of the Farollan Empire and take him directly to the Martial God Temple.”

"."

Princess Lucia wants them to play the role of the dragon for once?
It's not that they think Lucia's behavior is more violent than that of a dragon.
"understood."

With the Dragon God supporting his highness, they really didn't take the humans from a mere province seriously.

Not to mention the humans in the province, they even dared to force their way onto the God of War in the Temple of Martial God.

With the Dragon God supporting them, how dare a mere Martial God slaughter them?

"Go."

"okay."

Dragon Knight Hela, along with the green dragon Drummond, the shadow dragon Ackerman, and two blue dragons, went to Anselm's administrative hall.

On this day, the people of Anselm Province saw the giant dragon that had disappeared for a long, long time reappear.

What shocked them even more was that these giant dragons did not hide their whereabouts at all, and flew directly over the major cities in the province in broad daylight.

Fly directly towards Ansel City, the center of the province.

The most eye-catching one is a giant golden dragon.

When the clergy in the temples of major cities saw this scene, they hurriedly passed the news to the main temple in Ansel City.

Because he had stayed in the province of Anselm for some time, the golden dragon Griffin flew directly to the Temple of the God of War in the center of Ansel City with his young dragon.

In the sky above the Temple of Martial God, the golden dragon Griffin roared, and under the gaze of many clergymen and temple knights, it descended from the sky and appeared at the entrance of the temple.

After landing, he lowered his head to reveal the baby dragon on its back.

"Let the bishop of your Temple of Martial God come out to see me." Youlong said to the clergy and knights around the Temple of Martial God.

"I am the bishop of the Martial God Temple. May I ask who you are? Why did you come to my Martial God Temple in this way? Do you want to humiliate my God?"

A middle-aged man with blond hair walked past a group of temple knights and appeared in front of the young dragon.

"I am the emperor of the Farolan Empire. Do you want to bypass the imperial power and directly control the Anselm Province? Make Anselm Province your private territory?"

"???"

Emperor?

The Emperor of the Farollan Empire?

How could the emperor of the Farol Empire appear in the province of Anselm?

Will the major temples in the imperial capital allow her to run around?

If she was not the emperor of the Farolan Empire, she would not be qualified to appear on the back of the golden dragon.

Not to mention that this one is a pure-blooded golden dragon.

"How do you prove that you are the emperor of the Farollan Empire?"

"No need to prove it. If I say yes, it's true. You just need to tell me, do you want to be a law-abiding clergyman with ideals and beliefs? Or do you want to use the influence of the gods to seek personal gain for yourself? Cut off the empire's territory."

The face of the bishop of the Temple of Martial God suddenly turned ugly. No one had ever dared to question him like this, and no one had ever dared to speak to him in this tone.

Even if he had signed a dragon knight contract with a pure-blooded golden dragon, he should not be humiliated in front of so many clergymen and temple knights!

"Impersonating the Emperor of the Empire is a capital crime! Insulting the Bishop of the Temple and trespassing into the Temple of the God of War is heresy. Do you want to be sent to the Judgment Hall?"

The cardinal questioned the young dragon?

"Let the God of War witness whether I am guilty or not. If the God of War says I am guilty, then let the God of War punish me. If I am not guilty, then I will ask in front of the statue of the God of War whether you, the bishop who believes in the God of War, have used the power of the gods to seek personal gain!

If so, you are more likely to go to the Court of Arbitration than me!"

The young dragon Lucia jumped down from the back of the golden dragon Griffin, walked directly to the cardinal, and looked at him firmly.

The clergymen and temple knights around did not dare to make any moves because there were five pure-blooded dragons around.

If they make any move and are misunderstood by these dragons, the Temple of the God of War might be destroyed.

Moreover, the words of the girl in front of them made them dumbfounded. This human girl actually wanted to confront the cardinal in front of the statue of the God of War!

They knew about the conflict between the Temple and the Empire.

As clergymen and Knights Templar, they naturally did not want to be restricted by imperial power and naturally wanted to enjoy the privileges brought by divine power!
Some temple knights do not think so. They believe that their existence is merely to protect the power of the God of War.

"Arrogant! You think you can make the God of War appear?!"

The cardinal wanted to slap this silly-looking girl to death. Who did she think she was?

Do you want the God of War to appear with just one sentence?

He had been the cardinal of the Temple of Martial God for so many years, but he had never seen the God of Martial God appear.

"I just want the God of War to judge whether I am guilty or you, a temple clergyman who has lost your faith and ideals, are guilty."

After Young Dragon finished speaking, he didn't give the cardinal a chance to refute, and walked straight past the cardinal and into the temple.
