MTL - Online Game: Island War-Chapter 593 theocracy

Compared with the open bar, the decoration and layout of the teahouse are more traditional. Most of the tea customers are elderly mermaid grandfathers and aunts, and a few are middle-aged people who prefer the leisure of tea tasting. Year Mermaid.

Unlike previous bars, the occupiers are all young people.

The old men gathered together to drink tea in twos and threes. There was a storyteller on the pavilion who was talking about storytelling. The content was probably about the life and achievements of a certain generation of mermaid empire.

Some listened to the storytelling intently, and more chatted in a low voice.

Of course, everyone is very conscious. Those who listen to the storytelling sit closer to the storyteller, and those who want to chat are farther away.

Lei Jiu put on a worried expression, sat far away from the storyteller, and then let go of his mind and listened carefully.

As a result, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Most of the chattering mermaid gentlemen turned to him.

Some are guessing whether he is broken-hearted, unemployed or lost, some are commenting on what kind of bird the Jiu Ge on his shoulder is, and what kind of sea snake's baby snake is the Jiu Ting on his arm...

Fortunately, he was still relatively focused, and he didn't pay attention to Lei Jiu's entry.

Sitting at that table were three old mermaid masters. At this time, they were mourning and comforting each other.

All three of them have children who are priests in the Ocean Temple, and all three received notices of their children's death in the past two years.

After all, two years have passed, and the pain of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person is difficult to eliminate, but time can make them settle into the heart, and gradually they will not be easily revealed on the face.

Gradually, the tone of the three people changed from sadness to anger, because the incident had happened for more than two years, and their children's pensions had not been issued yet. At the beginning, it was clear that their children died in battle for the empire.

After going to the temple, the reception priest of the temple can only smile bitterly, saying that the temple has had a hard time in the past two years, losing the Trident of the Sea God, not to mention the loss of authority, and the empire has also begun to put various supplies on the temple. neck.

Originally, every time the temple went out to fight at the invitation of the empire, the death pension was allocated by the empire to the temple, and then distributed by the temple.

This has been done before, but this time...

In addition to the imperial appropriation, the biggest source of application of the temple is the dedication of the believers.

As the only shrine of the God of the Sea in the world, every year the believers donate, the income is quite considerable.

just...

The scale of the priest priest team in the Ocean Temple is too large. Although the empire allocates a certain amount of training resources every year, it is far from enough to meet their cultivation needs for the obviously oversized priest system.

Therefore, excluding corruption, misappropriation, etc., most of these believers' offerings have been filled into this big pit.

Therefore, the inventory of the temple is of course a lot of good things, but there are not many ordinary goods that can be used as pensions. Normally, if one or two or even a dozen priests die occasionally, the temple can pay for it.

But in recent years, nearly 3,000 priests have been planted in the hands of Huanghuang Island twice, and even the high priest has died several times. Such a big hole, the temple will not be full for a while, unless some treasures are taken. go out and replace.

But... don't say that the top of the temple is unwilling to take out these things, even if they are willing, they can't afford to lose face.

The Ocean Temple, the temple dedicated to the supreme sea **** in the sea, has actually been reduced to the level of smashing pots and selling iron hair for pensions?

What does this make those believers think?

Lei Jiu understood, it seems that the conflict between the Ocean Temple and the royal family of the Mermaid Empire is not a day or two.

Whether it is the Ocean Temple, which believes that it should have a detached position in the sea, or the merman imperial family that controls a large area of ​​the ocean and leads countless mermaids and murlocs, they all think that they are the most supreme.

To put it bluntly, it was still the struggle between imperial power and divine power, but it did not escape the scope of Lei Jiu's guess.

Come to think of it, both sides have the idea of ​​​​using the external pressure of the Kunpeng family to determine who will be in charge of the first voice.

As for the loss in the process...

Internal power struggle, loss is inevitable; loss of external invasion? As long as you stay in the city honestly and don't go out, what will you lose?

When the dust settles, the siege of the Kunpeng family can be broken with a backhand.

As the capital of the Mermaid Empire, the living supplies of the Mermaid Capital are enough to last until they decide the winner.

So old-fashioned, nothing new!

But think about it, there are two existences with the highest status in one power. If the relationship is not smooth, it will be strange if they don't fight.

Like Huanghuang Island, all rights belong to the island owner, so naturally there will be no similar problems.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the high prestige of the Ocean Temple among the few special races such as the Dragon Clan and the Kunpeng Clan.

The three mermaid masters didn't know much, and Lei Jiu was able to analyze so much from their words.

As for the strengths that both sides can use, and when will the decisive battle be launched, this is not something that ordinary people can know.

However, if you think about it a little, you can understand that if you want to directly attack the Ocean Temple, the royal family of the Mermaid Empire can only use the most direct line of power that can guarantee 100% loyalty. dead.

After all, the Ocean Temple has a strong mass base, even in the military, and the eight high-level murlocs will definitely stand on the side of the temple. If the royal family's actions are not secret, it will be difficult to succeed.

In other words, the Ocean Temple lost the Seagod Trident~www.novelbuddy.com~ Otherwise, the Ocean Temple held the Seagod Artifact with high protection and operation authority, and the royal family would not have the desire to win the Temple at all.

And the temple side is not easy to deal with. They can only wait for the royal family to do it first, and then they can fight back after getting an excuse to be righteous.

Only in this way, after the victory, they can put all the charges on the head of the royal family, and then they can start to weaken the imperial power and try to grant the imperial power.

Um...

No, there is another doubt, the attitude of the three holy levels of the Mermaid Empire.

If it was said that it was because of the fear of the sacred Mystery Lock in the hands of the Ocean Temple, it was now stolen by Lei Jiu. If the three saints do it, the royal family doesn't need to prepare for so long, right?

Could it be that the three saints do not all belong to the royal family? Or do they disagree with themselves? Or... Ocean Temple still has a hole card that can hold down multiple saints?

It seems that if he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, he will have to figure out some things before he can handle it!

It is easy to control the big formation with the operation authority of the Seagod Trident, and sneak a group of Kunpeng in to kill and kill. It's hard to hit it hard!

However, there are only a few people who know more in-depth information, and it is not so easy for him to get it.

Ah~!

I can only go back first and bring the Mirage Dragon Magic Sea in. Why didn't I think about it all before, I just thought about ensuring safety, and brought two holy beasts to protect myself, but I forgot to get information. The mirage dragon with powerful illusion ability is indispensable...
