Chapter 2710 Late but Arrived
"Your Majesty, you want to ask about the wicked deeds of the 'Primitive Religion' in the New World, but it's a long story..."
Joan started from the outbreak of the insect plague in Leiden Port many years ago, leading to the "shepherd" Idar, and the brother Jack who joined forces with the "shepherd" to murder Master Rawls, and then went to Bailun Mountain to hunt the heart-eating Lidong, the dinosaur riot in Lake Aosta, the attack on the Temple of the Styx in the polar region, let’s go back to the rotting fever epidemic in Layton City, and finally talk about the "green terror" incident in Grizzly Town...
It took more than half an hour for Joan to enumerate the evil crimes committed by the "primitive religion" over the years, but only concealed that Angel Boda had been tracking down the whereabouts of "Tears of God" for many years, so as not to reveal his biggest secret.
"Your Majesty, the conflict between me and the Primitive Order is not just a personal grievance. What worries me the most is that the 'Primitive Lord' worshiped by Angel Boda is actually the evil god Zekskel!"
"Under the instigation of the evil god, the Mother of Demon Wolf broke into the Styx Temple and took away the artifact 'Winter Ring'. It is very likely that a crazy conspiracy is brewing-a use of the 'Winter Ring' to bring the world of Vales to the world. Go back to the Ice Age's plan to destroy the world!"
After hearing Joan's solemn warning, His Majesty's marble-like handsome face finally showed a throbbing.
"It's Zekskel again... I had dealt with that evil god eight years ago. At that time, my strength was still very weak and I was not qualified to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress that evil god. After only a few short years of dormancy, he came out to make trouble again."
Roland frowned slightly, and turned his gaze back to Joan's face.
"Dr. Vader, there is no doubt that Zekskel is our common enemy, but I don't agree with you to firmly bind the evil god with the 'primitive religion'. It is unwise to do so."
"But this is the truth!" Qiao An couldn't help but raise her voice to retort.
Roland smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Dr. Vader, what we are talking about is not the status quo, but politics. The true meaning of politics is to make more friends and less enemies. With a single-minded opposition, we can find an opportunity to divide and disintegrate this organization, weed out the ignorant fanatics, and the remaining talents can be used by us.”
Seeing Joan's thoughtful expression, Roland went on to say to him: "Variusha had contact with the three elders of the primitive church in Stone Pillar Town, Orfin, Humbaba, and Anahita. According to her evaluation, These three are reasonable and do not look like extreme fanatical cultists, perhaps they do not fully agree with Pope Angel Poda's crazy behavior, I think they should be given a chance to choose their own future."
"Dr. Vader, we can't cooperate with unreasonable characters. If Angel Boda refuses to give up the worship of evil gods, then she herself will become the gravedigger of the primitive order, and the rationalists in the order But you may not be happy to be buried with that crazy woman."
His Majesty the Emperor's views on the Primitive Order and Angel Poda moved Qiao An's heart, and he couldn't help but think of what Mrs. Josephine had said.
"Angel Boda created the Primitive Order, but in the end, she herself became the biggest obstacle to the continued development of the Primitive Order."
"If she still wants to make greater contributions to the Primitive Order, she should withdraw voluntarily and give the Pope's authority to someone with a clearer mind."
His Majesty Roland's implication obviously coincided with Madam Josephine's point of view.
If the primitive religious group wants to continue to exist, it must make a complete change, and the first step in the transformation is to attack Angel Boda, an "old stubborn" who is ignorant of current affairs.
If she wants face, give her face.
If she is not decent, help her to be decent.
In any case, as long as Roland does not form an alliance with Angel Boda, the stone in Joan's heart will fall to the ground.
From the indigenous tribes of the New World, Joan thought of his hometown, and naturally came up with an idea, and felt that it was necessary to discuss it with Roland.
"Your Majesty, can the valley village model be promoted in the villages of our colonies?"
"Dr. Vida, unfortunately, there is no social system or economic model that is universally applicable. The valley village model just contradicts the existing economic model of the colony, and I am afraid it cannot be promoted."
Roland shrugged regretfully.
"Is it because our colony lacks an established Druid society?"
Joan first thought of this factor, but soon realized that it was precisely the most secondary factor.
"Dr. Vader, druids, priests, including sheriffs, can be cultivated slowly, and there are ways to solve such difficulties. However, there are some deep-rooted traditions in the colonies of the New World. The key factor that conflicts with the village model.”
Roland poured a cup of tea for the young mage and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, what tradition are you referring to?" Joan asked curiously.
"Priority to private interests is far higher than public interests, advocating laissez-faire and separation of powers and self-government, and disgusting or even hostile to the tradition of authoritarian government."
Roland smiled, and continued, "Dr. Vader, just now you mentioned that there is a town council in your hometown town, and the councilors are all well-to-do celebrities and country gentry. Is this situation common in the colonies?"
"It is indeed very common. Not only do local villages and towns have a tradition of self-government, but even our highest authority, the Continental Congress, is actually just a loose club of representatives of public opinion. The Republic, rather than a unified country, is more like a loose confederation formed by the three small countries of Jotunheim, Midgard, and Yalfheim. Of course, it is unlikely that there will be such a unified country in the Far East. A strong central government." Joan replied frankly.
"That's the problem, Dr. Vida, I'm not saying that the colony's tradition is bad. In fact, it reflects a valuable humanistic spirit, a precious fruit of the enlightenment thought, based on respect for individual freedom and equality. Above all, it is in line with the spirit of the Declaration of Independence."
"More precisely, it was precisely because Mr. Jefferson lived in the New World, and was influenced by this tradition, that he was able to write that great manifesto, which was brilliant and destined to go down in history."
Listening to Roland's praise of the colonial tradition of autonomy and the "Declaration of Independence", Joan was quite happy at first, but the more he listened to it, the more disturbed he became. Foreshadowing, when will the turning word "but" come?
