Chapter 80 I Want to Become King

"Sister Liya, have you broken through to the third level?"

At the tea party in the castle's back garden, Amy looked on with surprise.

Leah nodded happily.

In fact, she herself never thought that this day would come.

Even the Gray Wolf Knight is only at the third level, and now she has become a third-level knight.

This was all too dreamy for her.

Reina looked at Leah at this time, with an expression of amazement on her face.

She remembered that Leah was also less than 20 years old, right?

Such a young third-level knight can be called a genius in any family.

Moreover, Leah was born into a common family, so the time she spent on actual training was definitely much less than that of the geniuses from those families.

In this case, Leah's talent can be more clearly seen.

No, that's not right.

In addition to Leah's own talent, the magical power possessed by Duke Frostwolf is the most crucial.

Even she herself is a beneficiary of this power, otherwise it would be difficult for her to improve her strength to the peak of the second level in such a short time.

Thinking of this, she secretly clenched her fists.

She believed that her talent was no weaker than Leah's and she would definitely not fall behind.

……

day.

David continued his knight training as usual.

The most important thing for a fourth-level knight to break through to the fifth-level knight is to transform the gaseous fighting spirit into liquid fighting spirit. For this reason, he has been constantly condensing the quality of his fighting spirit recently.

At noon, he would practice with Cynthia.

In the afternoon, knight training continued.

At night, it is Leah, Amy and Reina's time.

The sage time after each dual cultivation is used to practice meditation.

At this time in the city hall.

David was holding the information he had just obtained in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The old king of the Silver Moon Kingdom may not be able to hold on for much longer.

This also means that the civil war in the Silver Moon Kingdom is about to begin, and the eldest prince will not sit idly by and watch the second prince take the throne.

In addition, there is the third prince who is known as the Silver Moon Star.

The Silver Moon Kingdom is about to face a situation where three kings will compete for supremacy. In this situation, remaining neutral is indeed the best approach.

What he needs to do is to make all parties believe that he has the strength to remain neutral.

After all, even though he was the second prince, he still did not break off relations with the other party and maintained superficial peace.

Now, what he lacked most was time. "My Lord Duke, do we really have to submit to the Silver Moon King?" Lena suddenly asked.

David looked at his smart woman and smiled, "As long as I become the new Silver Moon King, it won't be considered a violation of the agreement."

This is the first time he has stated his goal.

From the moment he set out to pursue the path of wizards, he was destined to become an enemy of the largest organization on this continent.

In order to fight against the church, he must borrow the power of the king.

Theocracy and monarchy have always been two different sources of power and forms of rule in history. The antagonistic relationship between them is mainly reflected in the differences in the source of authority, the legitimacy of power and the way of rule.

Theocracy emphasizes that the ruler's power comes directly from God or supernatural forces, while monarchy believes that the ruler's power comes from inheritance, conquest, or the consent of the people, and its legitimacy is more based on secular laws and traditions.

In this world, theocracy is centered on the church, and its Pope is regarded as God's spokesperson on earth, holding absolute authority in the spiritual realm.

The church not only taught faith, but also interfered in secular affairs and influenced royal decisions through the influence of clergy.

Royal authority is represented by the king or queen, who is the secular ruler of the territory and is responsible for the military, law, and administration.

David discovered that the historical records of the Frostwolf family were full of stories of the struggle between royal power and divine authority.

Royal families of various countries have repeatedly challenged the authority of the church and tried to weaken its control over the country. They realized that if they wanted to truly grasp power, they must break the shackles of the church and liberate royal power from the shadow of theocracy.

A key turning point occurred several hundred years ago, when the major kings of the continent formed an alliance to fight against the excessive intervention of the church.

They launched a reform movement aimed at weakening the church's financial power, limiting divine authority, and ensuring that the king's orders could be carried out directly without hindrance from the clergy.

This movement was called the "Restoration of Royal Power". Although the process was full of blood and fire, it eventually succeeded in establishing a more balanced power structure within the major kingdoms.

However, this victory did not mean the end of the conflict between theocracy and monarchy.

As time went on, the church was regaining its strength, and with the disappearance of those legendary knights, theocracy began to suppress royal power again.

David understood that his time still needed to face this subtle game of power. Perhaps one day, the kingdoms would unite again and stand at the forefront of the fight against theocracy, fighting to maintain the independence of the monarchy and the prosperity of the country.

What he has to do now is to try to seize the royal power and, as a chess player, once again start a struggle between royal power and divine power, thereby destroying the church.

He is a wizard.

If he wants the church to perish, he must ascend the throne.

Only by borrowing the power of a kingdom could he use it to fight against the church, use royal power to fight against divine power, and re-create the kingdom that belonged to wizards.

There was a flash of fanaticism in Reina's eyes. She saw the potential to be a king in her man, and this was also what she expected!

"Then I am willing to help you ascend the throne."

Reina knelt on one knee without hesitation and swore her allegiance.

David smiled slightly, stepped forward and lifted Reina's chin, "When I become the King of Silver Moon, it will be time for me to help you take back the Kingdom of Crystal Song."

"So now, can I collect some interest first?"

woo-

As soon as Reina opened her mouth, she was blocked.

Then one of her feet was lifted up and her back was pressed against the wall.
