Mofan was initially planning to visit Xinxia in Greece, but to his surprise, Xinxia was not at the Parthenon Temple. She seemed to be in England …
Mofan was left speechless. He had come all the way here, yet he had forgotten to check Xinxia's schedule. Either way, she was still a Candidate. She must have a lot of things to attend to. After asking around, Mofan learned that Xinxia was visiting Ayleen's clan in England.
"Is Ayleen very influential in England?" Mofan asked in confusion as he stood at the foot of the Parthenon Temple.
The Parthenon Temple had an endless stream of visitors every day. Even when it was raining, many people were still making their way up the stairs to the Hall of Faith.
As a matter of fact, many believers were not here for themselves, but for their families. If they could receive the Blessing of the Mountain of the Goddess, they would no longer suffer from any illnesses.
Everyone would fall sick, be it major disasters or minor ailments. Many illnesses were not fatal, yet they would torment them every day. Since they woke up and opened their eyes, the pain would always be with them, regardless of whether it was sunny or rainy …
The blessings and faith of the Parthenon Temple were not purely spiritual. Their ability to drive away plagues and diseases was incomparable to any other faction. Many people would only realize how precious it was to be healthy after experiencing real pain and suffering. As such, the Parthenon Temple was never short of devout believers!
"Although Irene is about the same age as us, her status in England is quite high. Her family is the famous Victorian family in English history. They once gave birth to a very impressive queen and received the highest respect from many important forces during the political turmoil at that time. You should know how influential the Casas are in Europe. As a matter of fact, the Casas were once a subsidiary of the Victoria Clan. Even though the Victoria Clan no longer had the same influence as the royal family in England, they still have a lot of power on the international stage … Xinxia has made the right choice by partnering with the Victoria Clan. The Victoria Clan is quite conservative, and their philosophy has always been to resolve conflicts and treat the people kindly, "Zhao Manyan said.
Zhao Manyan knew that Mofan knew nothing about these international forces.
"Does Eirinn have the right to decide?" Mofan asked.
"Of course, she's the first successor. Otherwise, how could she be Grand Duchess Eirinn? Xinxia and Irene are about the same age, so they should have a lot in common. According to my understanding, when Iza was in charge of Parthenon, Iza's ruthlessness angered the Victorians. The Victorians are unlikely to support the revived Iza, "Zhao Manyan said.
"That means her trip to England this time is very important. I still hope that she can come back. Forget it, I can't delay such an important thing." Mofan shook his head helplessly and finally gave up the idea of calling Xinxia.
If he told her that he was in Athens, she would be uneasy. He had been missing for some time.
"Xinxia has a good grasp of the big picture. If the Victoria Clan supports Iza in England, even if the Casas approve of her, the election won't be one-sided," Zhao Manyan said.
"Is that so? Why didn't I realize it before?" Mofan raised his eyebrows.
"Both of you grew up together. In your eyes, Xinxia is like a younger sister that you protected. You subconsciously think that she's weak and can't walk or take care of herself. As a matter of fact, you've really underestimated your Xinxia. Her IQ is many times higher than yours. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to survive in the Parthenon Temple. Just look at the conflict between her and Izisha in recent years. Do you know what kind of person Izisha is? If she wants someone dead, the person might even kneel down and thank her for freeing them. Besides, she killed three birds with one stone during the incident at the Alps … Xinxia was fighting against a woman like that, yet she did not lose everything. The fact that she was still alive showed how smart and insightful she was. I thought Xinxia would be sent back to China to take care of her husband and children after the Casas intervened. However, she went to England and defeated the conservative Victoria Clan. She has close ties with them, which is equivalent to turning the tables! "Zhao Manyan said.
"Is she that powerful?" Mofan was surprised.
"Brother, the Victoria Clan is like the Mu Clan in China. Even if the others hate Iza, they won't support another candidate. To gain their support, she needs the courage of a leader. She needs to understand the situation and the complicated relationships between different countries and international organizations. Having the same ideology doesn't mean they have to cooperate. The most important thing is how to negotiate and weigh the pros and cons. How to convince the Victoria Clan to support her instead of remaining silent … You have to understand that if the Victoria Clan doesn't intervene in the election of the Parthenon Goddess, even if Iza wins, Iza won't do anything to them. However, if they support Xinxia and xinxia loses, how will Iza treat the Victoria Clan? The Victoria Clan isn't stupid. Their conservative ideology means they won't support her easily. However, Xinxia asked them to support her … Wow, am I playing the lute to a cow? Can you learn more about the current affairs? Even if you're not interested, you should learn more about the current affairs since your woman is in the position of the Queen, "Zhao Manyan said.
Mo Fan felt awkward. Why did he feel so ashamed the more he talked about it?
"I think I understand. You grew up under the same roof. You must have given your brains to Xinxia and your martial arts skills to her," Zhao Manyan said with disdain.
"Don't make me sound so bad. Everyone in your family earns money as easily as drinking water. Why do you only know how to squander money?" Mofan retorted with a mocking expression.
"What do you know? I'm just not interested in earning money!" Zhao Manyan said.
"That's right. I'm also not interested in power!"
"Fine, fine, fine. We're all cultivators!"
"Speaking of which, what does Parthenon rely on to win the election?" Mofan asked.
"Votes. The votes of the Magic Organizations all over the world, the support of Parthenon Temples all over the world, and the support of the believers. I'm not sure how the ratio is calculated, but the votes of the Magicians are a lot more important. Since the votes of the government don't count, Parthenon is closer to the renowned clans and renowned families. The votes of the institutions are also very important. The higher the ranking of the institutions, the more effective their support will be," Zhao Manyan said.
"What about the Alps Institute? Do their votes count?" Mofan asked.
"Of course, they count a lot. The Alps Institute will take in orphans from different places around the world every year. The Alps Institute has orphanages in many countries, and they have a good reputation. Since the Alps Institute covers the whole world, and the orphans are quite self-reliant, the chances of the Alps Institute producing geniuses are quite high. You should know that the Alps Institute and Parthenon are on opposing sides. The Alps Institute has a huge influence, and it's an untapped force. If Xinxia can get the support of the Alps Institute, I bet Iza is going to panic! "Zhao Manyan said.
The Alps Institute had orphanages all over the world. These orphanages were more like schools, teaching the orphans knowledge and magic. Only the outstanding ones would be selected to enroll in the Alps Institute.
Every student of the Alps Orphan Academy was grateful to the Alps when they stepped into society. Therefore, in many places, the Alps Orphan Academy was also a kind of faith, and a very firm one at that!
"The ideals of the Alps Institute and Parthenon are quite similar, but the areas they contribute to are different. Parthenon mainly focuses on relieving pain and suffering, while the Alps Institute mainly contributes to the orphans and nurtures them into talents. Their influence on society is quite potential, but we can't ignore it. If the Alps Institute can work with Parthenon, it means that Parthenon will have a new batch of believers in a new field … the people of the Temple of Blessings in the corresponding cities will be more impressed by the new leader, "Zhao Manyan said.
"Is it really that effective?" Mofan was surprised.
"You only have eyes for the beauties of the Alps Institute, their figures, their looks, but you have no idea that their influence in society is only second to the Bodhisattvas …" Zhao Manyan said.
"Holy crap, who was the one that was acting like a horny dog at the Alps Institute? He even told me that he was saluting in his pants twenty-four hours a day!" Mofan said.
"Are you trying to set up a bridge between Xinxia and the Alps Institute?" Zhao Manyan seemed to have noticed Mofan's intention.
"Hehe, my Xinxia is working so hard. As a man, I should at least give her some support. Heidi and Brianca must be the representatives of the Alps Institute, too. I should bewitch them first, and slowly convince Headmistress Perry and Miss Ceylan. It's all from two lifetimes ago, why are you so stubborn about it?" Mofan said with a smile.
