Chapter 881 256 Judgment: Kael's Original Sin Theory; Bridge to the Magic Monarch (10K)_4
The problem is that the various churches in this world are still very receptive to this.
After so many years of fighting with demons, even the most good-natured and honest people were truly angered. Now, finding someone "harboring" the descendants of their enemies, they probably feel that others have betrayed their years of sacrifice.
Once this mentality arises, it cannot be suppressed.
However, if you want to condemn someone, you can always find an excuse. They won't consider whether people have done things they absolutely couldn't tolerate—they will simply bring their prejudice with them and reason backward from the outcome.
Once these emotions spread, people become increasingly irrational, ultimately ignoring rules completely and acting solely based on their emotions.
"Grandpa White, don't you find it interesting?"
Kael glanced at Old White, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and said:
"They probably still don't know what they're doing—a single unjust crime might only pollute the stream, but a single unjust verdict pollutes the source.
Once this news is out, the overall view that Holy Briania has painstakingly maintained for so many years will immediately collapse, and the degree of collapse will become more severe over time.
Eventually... they'll completely lose the privilege to judge others from on high.
Of course, the end of Holy Briania is something for the future; right now, we likely need to find a way to deal with some internal unrest."
"Young master, you have to be mentally prepared—we're probably going to war with those guys."
Old White wore a worried expression on his face.
On a face usually unchanged by a collapsing earth or crumbling mountains, a touch of worry lingered that couldn't be dispersed. His eyes bore an unfathomable look as he added:
"Our enemies are not only external but also internal.
The Yibel Federation has never had faith in the gods of the Golden Branch Kingdom. Once this news spreads, it will surely have a huge impact on our reputation in the Duchy of England and Lance.
Most people just blindly follow the church's propaganda, and I suspect the upper echelons of the Federation are already in chaos."
Kael gazed at Old White with a half-smile, saying: "Grandpa White, are you worried that someone might use my own achievements as a reason to frame me?
And surely, many will be envious, right? Such a vast piece of meat placed right in front of them—the possibility of being immortalized in history is so great, and they don't need to pay any price.
Even if problems arise in the future, they can just blame Holy Briania directly.
Anyway, as far as they see it, I would probably have died by then, unable to hold them accountable, and perhaps... by the time that happens, no one will care about this matter anymore."
Old White nodded, saying: "It's highly likely that this situation will occur, given the vast number of spells and magic potions you possess.
Except for some magic whose upper limits haven't yet caught up with those of the Magic Monarchs, you have comprehensively surpassed every other mage in any other domain.
No, more precisely, among the spellcasters I've seen, you're already the one with the most profound foundation, without a doubt."
Mage refers to both mages and other related subordinate and transition professions.
Spellcaster encompasses all professions with spell-casting abilities.
There's a clear chasm between the most profound mage and the most profound spellcaster, yet now Old White believes Kael has completely transcended this gap.
Or rather, he himself embodies the pinnacle of an era.
Such an evaluation is certainly high praise.
Yet Kael merely chuckled, happily accepting it.
"I'll accept this compliment, though I did use certain unspoken methods; perhaps unconsciously, I've indeed become the person most qualified to obtain this title in this era.
As for whether any clowns from among the mages will jump out, that's a different matter."
Interests can easily move people.
Many of Kael's possessions are extremely valuable, but only a few of them have even a slight chance of being seized by others.
The foremost is the identity of the already almost-confirmed second successor to the Lion Heart Duchy, which might face obstacles due to this announcement from Holy Briania.
After all, being able to partake in the upper-level intrigue is something many people would absolutely delight in; otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many rumors online in his previous life, laughing at his brother.
Ordinary people fall for this, and some crafty individuals hope to exploit this. Whether it succeeds in the end, who knows?
Anyway, the cost of spreading rumors is low. At the time, just tell everyone that Kael.D.Helois could achieve such accomplishments solely because he got support from the Abyss.
Do you believe it? I sure do!
This situation will persist until Holy Briania is defeated and won't completely disappear.
If Holy Briania is victorious, then what everyone said will be conclusively settled, regardless of the guilt of the person in the coffin, they certainly won't let future generations comment on it more than necessary.
After all, how unpleasant it sounds!
