    "How's it going? The church's gentlemen should have a pretty good time here with me, right?" He left the dungeon with Wazilu and on the way back to the living room, Yi Wenyan confirmed to him with a smile.  "In order for you all not to get bored, I specially asked the maids to send them some gadgets to entertain them. It seems to have a pretty good effect, doesn't it?" Hearing Yiwen Ian's words, Waziru couldn't help but smile bitterly.  After a moment: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, you are too worried." The smile faded slightly, and Wacru narrowed his eyes slightly: "But I also heard in the Holy City that Sir Ivan Ian of White Rose City is a (note)  He is an all-rounder, whether it is territorial governance, tax reform, monetary government affairs, or even education and entertainment. " (Note: This includes all non-martial arts and non-military studies, similar to the division between civil servants and military attach¨¦s.) "  But as you said, as a lord, haven't you noticed that extending these things to the entire territory, which can only make people lazy and despondent in addition to 'passing time', will have a negative impact on the empire?  Is the negative impact on the people simply unpredictable?¡± Even in the face of Wazilu¡¯s questioning, the smile on Yiwen¡¯s face did not change at all: ¡°Is that what you think, Lord Waziru?  ¡­I have heard this statement before, but my opinion is slightly different from yours.¡± ¡°In my opinion, any game is essentially a game between people, such as chess and mahjong.  Ah, such a tabletop game can only be started with more than 2 people. So in essence, the game is just a bridge. It is essentially a competition between people and a battle of wits between people.  " Yiwen Ian thought for a while and gave an example to Waziru: "For example, the Empire's Twelve Kings Cup competition, that competitive competition open to all Imperial Academy students, is a kind of 'game' in my opinion.  Friendship, struggle, strive for the goal at all costs, never give up even in the face of huge setbacks, and calmly think about the reasons for your failure after failure" "If we talk about the purpose of the Empire holding the Twelve Kings Cup,  It is to encourage students from martial arts academies at all levels to compete with each other and strive for excellence. So I think, whether it is poker, chess, or mahjong, it is a kind of rehearsal and cultivation of talent-mastering the rules and mastering the opponent's strategy.  Then use your own resourcefulness, your opponent's carelessness, and even luck to defeat the opponent" "So, in my opinion, chess and card games are a 'human' game. Although it is really bad if you lose your mind with a plaything, I  I don¡¯t think that just such a change can change the enthusiasm of the people of the entire empire.¡± Wazilu was stunned by Yiwen Ian¡¯s words. No matter how powerful his combat power is, he is just a warrior.  To be persuaded in front of a master who has reached the level of a master, he has no temper at all.  "Besides, in my opinion, the benefits of board games go beyond this." Seeing that Wazilu didn't refute, Yi Wenyan smiled and changed his tone to a chatty tone.  He said casually, "Although chess and card games are competitions between people, it is somewhat different from the ruthless competition in the political field and the currency circle. No matter how miserable you lose, it is just a loss."  In a game, the players are opponents on the chessboard, but they are likely to be friends off the court. They may be happy, annoyed, and quarrel with each other, but they can all show the truest side of people. " "For civilians,  These very simple emotions are close to them and inseparable. But for us nobles and priests who are far away from the common people and are bound by etiquette and doctrine, these most essential exchanges between human nature and people's hearts may be our most important.  Something is missing." Waziru stopped.  However, Yiwen Ian's words continued: "Although I don't know what Mr. Wacru thinks, at least in my opinion, your subordinates are a bit too deformed. Father Abel and Sister Ellens  Maybe it's better, but the personalities of Miss Kate Paladin and Sister Glance are still a bit lacking, right? " "It's like they were deliberately brainwashed soldiers. " Ivan Ian.  He stopped and turned around to look: "However, I think this is probably because I'm overthinking it. What do you think, Lord Wacru?" Wacru smiled bitterly and bent down slightly.  There was absolutely no sense of the frivolity that a 15-year-old boy should have. Yi Wenyan made him feel as if he was standing in front of Catalina. Although he lacked the majesty and calmness of a divinely appointed Duke, he had an extra layer of relaxation.  Freehand brushwork, but the huge pressure that comes when one inadvertently understands everything is exactly the same.  "Father Wazilu." Seeing Yiwen Ian and Waziru returning to the living room, the blond girl who had been waiting for a long time stood up.Come.  "Don't worry, Harvest, Abel and the others are doing well. It should be said that they are having a little too much fun" Vacru smiled bitterly and touched the head of the girl who came up to him, although there were no thirteen cubes of sugar.  You can drink black tea, but compared to other places where the prison life is dark, humid, full of insects, rats and mosquitoes, and you even have to be tied up and hung up, and you have to be beaten every once in a while, it is really almost like paradise.  "Now that everyone has seen it, let's start talking about the business." Yi Wenwen walked to the sofa and sat on it carelessly. "I should have said that with the previous price of the church, the current transaction content is  It's already the limit. When you say you want to release the prisoners, do you want to continue to increase the price?" Wacru nodded: "Actually, I am here not in the name of the entire Church of Gods, but only in the name of the Church of the Gods.  It is on behalf of my lord, the divinely appointed Duke Catalina Sephora, in order to form an alliance with the Duke of Nanling's Ian family." "Duke Ye Xiao" Yiwen Ian rubbed his neck.  The so-called night owl is an owl, which is considered a symbol of wisdom in the empire.  As for the Night Owl Duke Sephora family, there are only thirteen families in the entire empire that use animal images to define their family emblems. They are all famous families when the first emperor of the empire was founded.  Even the Silver Rose House, which is now known as the leader of the Sixty Corollas, could not be compared with the East Duke Sephora House, which was already at its peak a century ago.  However, with the church's eastward movement as a watershed, the Ye Xiao family, which had always shown off its empire in the name of wisdom, suddenly began to go downhill. Not only did it donate all its territory to the church at a jaw-dropping speed, but even its army and tax revenue  Because of the loss of territory, he was completely lost like duckweed without water. He became an "honorary noble" similar to those big bankers. Although he had the name of a noble but no real noble, he became what other nobles called him.  laughing stock.  Therefore, if it were any other imperial duke who wanted to form an alliance with Nanling, Yi Wenyan would have agreed without even thinking.  Only the Sephora family's covenant, he must carefully consider the charm contained in it.  "If I remember correctly, Grand Duke Catalina is now one of the thirteen supreme cross archbishops of the Church of the Gods. It is a bit strange to propose an alliance with a heretical family like my Silver Rose family, isn't it?  And aren't you afraid of being impeached by people from other church forces?" Yi Wenyan gently knocked on the armrest of the sofa and finally threw his doubts to Wazilu.  Wacru did not answer directly: "The church has dispatched the Ninth Air Mobile Crusade, and the Pope has reached a consensus that even if it does not hesitate to launch a holy war, it will destroy the Ian family - even if it takes the entire White Rose City and most of South Ridge.  As a price." Yiwen Ian's index finger froze. After hearing the news, he calmed down the leisurely expression on his face for the first time.  "Huh I see No wonder those church members who have entered the city recently have not received any reminder from the 'Teaching Sect'. It seems that the Teaching Sect has decided to part ways with us" Yi Wenyan's expression became a little bit  Dignity: "Although I don't think I can share the same goals with those high-level leaders of the teaching sect But even if we want to achieve this, we have to destroy our Ian family It doesn't make sense from politics, interests and logic, so then  Only faith" "What does the 'Black Blood' mean to your church? Even if you pay such a price, you will destroy us at all costs?" Yi Wenyan raised his head quietly,  Look at Waziru.  "Sorry, I can't say." Wazilu shook his head gently.  "Hmph" Yi Wenyan snorted coldly, but Wazilu's answer did not exceed his expectations. If "Black Blooded One" is really something that can be blurted out by just any close associate of the Supreme Bishop,  Then it is no secret among the upper echelons of the empire.  "So in other words, thank you for your news, which confirmed a doubt I had recently, and it can be regarded as expressing Duke Catalina's sincerity." Yiwen Ian restrained his smile, "However, Duke Catalina needs  What price does Nanling have to pay to ally with us? Or in other words, why do you want me to trust you and not betray us at a critical moment?" Wazilu hesitated: "Alchemy, Nanling?  "The alchemy of Ling." "Is it that thing called industry? We need a full set of technologies." Wazilu raised his head and looked at Yi Wenyan, "It's all, not those ordinary textile machines and assembly lines.  "It's technology that can make simple golems in large quantities, as well as guns and artillery that can harm truth-level experts." "This is Duke Catalina's condition. As long as you agree, then?All of Lady Telina's subordinates currently in Nanling will stand with the Ian family and Nanling at all costs.  " "" After a few seconds of silence, Yi Wenyan showed a cold ridicule: "If you want to exchange a few hundred lives for a complete set of technology trees in Nanling, Grand Duke Catalina is a bit too whimsical.  Bar?  ¡± ps: Just after it was put on the shelves, 50 collections were dropped!
