Chapter 305: The Majesty of the Holy Light Church

The nobles who received the letter like the Duke's Mansion were all in a frenzy, and they all held emergency meetings of their families to discuss what to do next.

The same was true for the Casillas family, an important member of the Maro City Council.

After reading the letter in his hand, Earl Charlton, the patriarch, smiled bitterly and handed the letter to his younger brother Rubrio.

Rubrio got angry as soon as he saw it: "Is this Ethan mentally ill?

Why is he going against the Holy Light Church?

What does the Holy Light Church have to do with the parliament to clean up the families that slandered them?

Why do you have to drag everyone into the water?"

As he said, he handed the letter to the next person.

And when everyone read the letter, they all looked at Rubrio as if he were an idiot.

This made him a little confused and extremely annoyed.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Just say what you want to say."

Because of his status, no one confronted him.

This made Rubrio even more annoyed, and he was about to stand up after slapping the table.

At this time, Charlton held him back.

Charlton was also helpless about this younger brother.

He knew very well that his brother had no ability, but he had to use him because he was very loyal.

In the face of loyalty, everything else was unimportant.

Although he had been warned to speak less, he just didn't listen.

"Ah..." Charlton sighed heavily: "Whatever you have to say, just say it!"

After hesitating for a moment, an old man stood up first and said: "In the 61 ruling districts of the Aslan Empire, only three dukes and one parliamentary district are not controlled by the two religions.

They all have one thing in common, that is, they all have more than 4 or more super strong people, and they must have a 24th-level magic god.

But here...

Without a strong military force to escort, the balance of the political ecology cannot be maintained at all.

So, the risk is too great, and this business is not worth it."

At this time, another old man stood up: "What you said was hundreds of years ago. At that time, it was indeed necessary to have such a strong military force,

but now the Holy Light Can the church be compared with the past?

In the past few hundred years, the Holy Light Church has declined faster than anyone else.

They still look like a behemoth, but in fact they are already weak.

If they still have the same temper as before, they would have intervened on the first day of the establishment of the parliament, instead of waiting until now.

And they used such cautious temptation.

This actually shows their weakness.

I think there is no risk at all. We should firmly maintain the authority of the parliament, and we must do it quickly. "

"Your judgment is too subjective. What if the Holy Light Church really takes a hard line?"

"What is subjective? Is there an objective way to judge? If the Holy Light Church can be tough, they would have been tough long ago."

...

The two old men quarreled because of their different opinions, and they kept talking.

The others at the table listened on the side, did not stop the quarrel, and exchanged opinions from time to time.

At this time, a housekeeper knocked on the door gently and walked in.

Then he stood at the door and said, "Gentlemen, the Duke's Mansion has just issued a statement that they firmly support the legitimacy of the parliament and all resolutions."

After saying that, the Guanzi family saluted and left.

The meeting room suddenly fell into silence.

Seeing this, Charlton finally stood up and slowly said, "Since there are different opinions, let's follow the family tradition and vote!

Since someone has already taken the lead, let's be quick, so as not to make people think that our family is procrastinating and has no courage."

Although Charlton did not explicitly support which opinion he supported, everyone present understood what he meant.

Then everyone cast their votes one after another.

Charlton looked at the voting results and raised his mouth slightly.

Then he said to his brother beside him, "Go and arrange to issue a statement. Our Casillas family firmly supports the legitimacy of the parliament and all resolutions."

...

Decisions similar to the Casillas family are constantly being staged in various families.

However, the results are different. Some families issued statements to support the parliament, while others said they would withdraw from the parliament.

Of course, there are some smart guys who neither support nor withdraw, just pretend not to know, and want to muddle through.

There are always people who think of speculation in the world, but they don't seem to realize that speculation is actually more risky.

Many people were worried this night because they knew that tomorrow's parliament would be a turning point in their fate.

But people like Ethan, Lyon and others were extremely calm.

Of course, the reason for their calmness is not that they don't know the risks of competing for power with the Holy Light Church, but because they are determined in their hearts.

No matter what happens, as long as the will is firm, they will not be affected by changes in external circumstances, and will not retreat because of risks, and all major events will become ordinary.

On the other hand, those who are not strong-willed must be worried about gains and losses. Even if they have made a decision, they are still worried. This is purely self-torture.

And among those who are worried today, Paparia is also one of them.

Of course, he is not because of the parliament, but because he did not answer Ethan's questions, and he didn't even have any guidance.

This makes him feel that it will affect his weight in Ethan's heart.

As soon as he got home, he went to consult his father Kloz about the Holy Light Church's purchase of herbs.

Kloz couldn't help laughing when he heard his son ask this question, because Sophia had asked this question not long ago.

Kloz immediately knew that his son must have asked on behalf of Ethan, but he pretended not to know and explained slowly:

"This is an old trick of the Holy Light Church."

When Paparia heard it, he immediately became interested: "What old trick?"

Kloz smiled: "Hundreds of years ago, the Republic of Helingard declared independence.

The place they occupied was the birthplace of the Holy Light Church. The Holy Light Church launched dozens of wars to regain the holy land.

But at that time, the Republic of Helingard was also extremely powerful.

As a result, the Holy Light Church not only failed to regain the holy land, but also lost soldiers and generals, and made itself weak.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up the use of force.

But they did not give up, but switched to business war.

They sent merchants to sneak into the Republic of Helingard and control the economy through various means.

The most famous is the Tulip War.

Tulips were first introduced by the elves. Although this flower cannot be eaten, it is indeed good in appearance. Look, because of the small quantity and the elf identity, it has always been regarded as a symbol of wealth and glory by the upper class.

The Holy Light Church saw this and began to hoard tulip bulbs and push up prices.

In less than three years, the craze for buying tulips spread to a national movement.

People no longer buy tulips for their intrinsic value or for viewing purposes, but expect their prices to rise indefinitely and make a profit.

A large amount of land is used to grow this useless plant.

Then one day, the tulip market suddenly collapsed, and within a week, the price fell by an average of 98%.

So, you understand what I mean!

Because of this, the economy of the Republic of Helingard, which was originally prosperous, plummeted and did not recover for hundreds of years. "

After hearing this, Paparia looked strange: "The Holy Light Church is really..."

When he was halfway through, Kloz glared at him fiercely, and Paparia did not dare to continue.

And Kloz continued, "After so many years, this trick has also been improved.

I heard that a certain grand duke planted a certain herb in his territory, which caused the land conditions to change and made it impossible to plant other crops.

It took several years to improve before it returned to its original state.

So, I think the Holy Light Church is probably promoting this herb.

As for why it does this, you should be able to guess.

By the way, the Holy Light Church is the largest food supplier for the Aslan Empire."
