Chapter 1,068 The Truth and Difficulties(2/2)
"Usually such an event is only held every five or six years, or even more than ten years."
"The reason to celebrate is either a birthday or other fancy things."
"If it weren't for the large expense of holding it every time, the nobles would be eager to hold it every year."
"But in fact, the daily social life of those nobles also involves various banquets and lewd and dirty gatherings."
In Safuri's words, she made no secret of her contempt for the degenerate life of the kingdom's nobles.
The things she said from her mouth also made Zong Shen listen with interest.
"Damn fallen nobles!"
“They actually held a silver party!”
"The most important thing is that you don't call me someone from Zong!"
Zong Shen complained wildly in his mind.
He originally thought that his behavior of having a harem in another world was debauched enough.
But in fact, they pale into insignificance compared to the indigenous people of the Endless Continent.
Still a stinky little brother worth mentioning!
When it comes to giving play to biological instincts of happiness, Aboriginal people have already played various tricks.
It is said that nobles have various forms of play, large and small, imaginable and unexpected.
It is no longer just between people, after all, this is a world with monsters and alien races.
I'm not allowed to tell you what the specific pattern is, and I'll have to wait for you with a 404, so I don't mind mentioning it.
Not noticing Zong Shen's little thoughts, Safuli continued.
"The focus is on this giant city competition and the noble banquet."
"As an invitation initiated by the Marquis, all nobles within the jurisdiction of the giant city will attend the appointment."
"And Henry Lancaster has sworn allegiance to the second prince before."
"So the second prince will also come in person this time."
"This place is located in the eastern part of the kingdom. It is only tens of thousands of kilometers away from the giant cities on the coast controlled by the three princesses. It can be said that they are separated by a thin line."
"And the second prince's purpose, besides consolidating his power, is more to disgust the third prince."
When Safuri said this, an angry expression appeared on her face.
"The despicable second prince had previously planned to use the giant city of Lentax as a bargaining chip to win over the church."
"In exchange for the church harassing the power of the three princesses."
"But he broke his promise just because he saw the photo of Miss Penny's true appearance."
"That is indeed a beauty. Even I have to admit her beauty."
Having said this, Safuri caressed the side of her face, feeling a little unsure of her appearance.
To be honest, she looks like a top-notch little girl.
Although Zong Shen dare not say that this is already the level of the ceiling of the Endless Continent.
But whether looking at the aesthetic standards of the earth or the endless continent, Safuri is worthy of the adjective "beautiful".
So what kind of beauty does Miss Penny have that makes her feel inferior?
In this world with transfiguration and various physical or magical means of disguise.
Native beauty is still extremely valuable.
You must know that disguise cannot change the influence of blood.
Beautiful spouses can give birth to better-quality offspring.
The marriages of the great nobles are still based on appearance.
Of course, the same goes for having fun.
The original beauty is the most precious. Otherwise, the nobles would not need to marry a wife, and they would only need to catch a shapeshifter to enjoy the blessings of the whole family.
In fact, there really are such warriors in the Endless Continent...
It can only be said that the world is a big place and there are all kinds of birds.
"oh?"
"So the second prince has reached an agreement with your church first."
"I promise to take advantage of the noble banquet to help you catch all the nobles in your jurisdiction."
"In this way, we can quickly disarm the legion and achieve top-down control."
"In this way, the church can quickly control the entire huge city, and even the cities and villages within its jurisdiction."
Zong Shen habitually took out two apples from the storage compartment.
One handed it to Savory, and the other directly put it into his mouth and took a bite.
After all, he is also a lord, and his intelligence is no less than that of Safuri.
I just don’t understand the secrets of the second prince and the church.
Now after listening to what she said, I can basically understand the cause and effect.
As for why the church chose athletic competitions and noble banquets to start the action.
It is nothing more than to facilitate direct control of the ruling nobles.
This is a typical strategy of catching the thief first.
Zong Shen's words made Safuli suddenly startled, and she took the apple.
I didn't expect his reaction to be so quick.
It's just that Safuli is a little dissatisfied with what Zong Shen said about "your" church.
She shook her head sadly.
"Please don't use 'you' to describe my relationship with the church."
"I have difficulties..."
"When I was a child, I merged with the spirit of the raven when I was baptized by the raven, and became the saint chosen by God."
"Since then, I have become one of the carriers of communication between the church and the gods."
"After countless rituals, I have the state of favor granted by God."
"In that state, my own consciousness will completely sink, replaced by another me in the state of a fanatic."
Sally finally revealed what was bothering her.
Such a secret made Zong Shen frown.
"A vehicle for communication between spirits?"
"The other you of the fanatic?"
He repeated it softly, with a look of surprise on his face.
This can explain why Sally is sometimes decisive and cruel, and sometimes polite and gentle.
But even if it is a dual personality or the interference of gods, this cannot be the reason for Safuri to "whitewash" her.
He was willing to contact Safuri because the lord belonged to a third-party force that was neither good nor evil.
The indigenous people's standards of good and evil cannot constrain the lord's code of conduct.
The only person who can decide the lord's actions is the lord himself.
That is, the lord's own concept of good and evil or neutrality.
In other words, as long as Zong Shen approves it, then it is reasonable regardless of good or evil.
However, facing Safuli, who had sacrificed blood to hundreds of villagers and lords, it was difficult for Zong Shen to fully trust her.
But no matter what, Sally's willingness to reveal her inner feelings is also a good start.
Facing Zong Shen's inquiry, she nodded solemnly.
"Yes."
"Many times, I can't help myself."
"And I have a very strong premonition that the me favored by the gods will eventually replace the real me!"
"My perception has been sharp since I was a child."
"This premonition is more like a death sentence, which makes me uneasy every day!"
"I am grateful for the church's nurturing grace, but I don't want to become God's puppet."
"Over the years, I have repaid the church."
