Huggins walked into the King's Audience Room, saw Todd sitting at the table with his eyes closed, and said, "Your Majesty, all the people you asked me to notify have arrived. ”

Todd waved his hand, "Let them in." ”

Father Moore and Monk Joe each led a group of clergy and monks into the room.

Todd looked at these people and said calmly, "What about the things I asked you to prepare?"

Father Moore opened the wooden box he was carrying, took out a book with trembling hands, and handed it to the king.

Todd took the book, looked at the large line on the cover, "The Union Bible," and sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, this is the first draft, and we will continue to revise it later. Monk Joe took out a stack of freshly copied pages from his bosom: "With regard to the establishment of a new religious denomination, we have established an evangelical denomination at your command, and have issued a notice to the churches everywhere to establish a new denomination. ”

Moore gasped heavily: "To this day, I still can't believe that there are already many priests and bishops who have long been dissatisfied with the actions of the church. ”

Todd opened the Union Bible, looked at the "Ten Most Holy Commandments" at the beginning, and said calmly: "The best way to shake the believers in the church is to use the Bible as the root, re-establish a new denomination, and use the influence of the new sect to completely deny the legitimacy of the Church of the Father." Only in this way can we minimize the influence of the church and gain enough allies for us...... You can think of the beginning of "justification by faith" and then the "Criticism of the Father", all of which paved the way for the establishment of Protestantism. ”

Moore was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, if a new sect is formed, why should the Bible be the foundation of religion? To be honest, the scholars and heterogeneous people in the city do not have the slightest affection for the church and the Bible. ”

Todd waved his hand and said, "We are flying the banner of the Reformation, not to overthrow the beliefs of the Bible. In the name of the Bible, it is logical to attract believers. ”

Monk Qiao said excitedly: "So, Your Majesty, what are we waiting for?!

Todd put the CUV on the table and shook his head slightly: "Now is not the time to announce the formation of a new denomination, we must tell those around us that we not only have the will to reform the rotten church, but we also have the ability to defeat their army!"

Moore thoughtfully said, "What do you mean?"

"In a little while, at the Holy Acropolis, the Church coalition will be under the city. If we can win this war, then we will be able to prove to the world the power of the Protestant sect, and when that time comes, it will not be too late to hold the ceremony. ”

After saying these words, Todd was silent for a while, and then said to the people in front of him: "Your task is to continuously refine the theories of the new sect during this time, and to actively contact bishops and priests who are dissatisfied with the church. ”

After a few more conversations with the clergy and monks, Todd waved them back first.

Facing the empty room, Todd stared at the umbrella badge on the wall and said nothing.

A sudden knock on the door pulled him back to reality.

"Come in. ”

Huggins gently pushed the door open, looked at Todd and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want to eat for dinner?"

Todd looked at the sinking sun outside the window, propped his hands on, and stood up from his chair: "As is customary, put the food in the palace garden, where I will eat." ”

Huggins was only momentarily stunned by this strange request, and then nodded and walked out.

Todd walked through the palace corridors, watching the beautiful sunset, and slowly paced to the pavilion in the palace garden.

Huggins had already instructed the maid to prepare the table and meal. A crowd stood around the pavilion, quietly waiting for the king to take his seat.

Todd didn't rush to sit down at the table, but walked to the wooden wall of the garden and looked through the wooden coffin at the night view of the city below.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Huggins shouted twice, and finding that Todd was not responding, took two more steps closer, and said, "Your Majesty, let's eat first, otherwise the food will be cold." ”

Todd beckoned to Huggins, pointed in the direction of the port area and smiled, "Do you remember? I remember back then, when there was only a dilapidated boardwalk in that place, and our ship was stolen from the North Island pirates. ”

Huggins looked down the hill and laughed, "I still remember that night on Waiheke Island, Your Majesty, although you were not used to the cheese soup we cooked, you still poured a bowl of it. ”

A look of nostalgia appeared on Todd's face: "yes, during that time, I didn't know much about anything, but I wanted to do everything. Now that I think about it, it was not easy to get to where we are today. ”

"Your Majesty, do you remember what I said to you before I went to sea?"

"Which word?"

"You ask me if I believe in miracles. I say I believe it, because you standing before me are a miracle. ”

Todd was stunned.

After a moment, he closed his eyes lightly and muttered, "Miracle ......"

"Are you worried about the Battle of the Acropolis in the near future?" Huggins straightened up and said firmly, "The final victorious side must be us!"

Todd looked at the other party, "Are you so sure?"

"Although the Church Coalition has fifteen thousand soldiers and has gathered nearly thirty kingdoms, we only have 1,900 men from the Knights of the Twilight West, plus 2,000 from the defenders of the Holy Acropolis. It looks like it's going to be a big matchup, but we have a few reasons to win!"

"Tell me about it. ”

"First, the Knights of the Twilight West have three hundred heavily armed knights, equipped with xenomorph horses, guard armor, dragon bones, and abilities, and I believe that no army in this world can stop them head-on!"

"Second, the city of the Holy Acropolis is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the moats, arrow towers, urn cities, and moats are all available. The barbarians sent nearly 200,000 men three times in total, but they did not take the city. ”

"Thirdly, the commander of this battle is Lord Cumberland......"

Speaking of which, Huggins smiled and winked at Todd: "With so many favorable factors, are you still worried that this battle will be lost?"

Todd smiled and shook his head.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something: "I asked you to take Queen Mary back to Duskwest City before the war begins, how are things going?"

Huggins scratched his head and whispered, "She won't come back." ”

"What?"

Huggins leaned closer to Todd and whispered, "She said to the people who went to pick her up that before Her Majesty left the Acropolis, the words left to her were to stabilize and hold the city, and she would not leave the Acropolis until this was done." ”

Todd sighed deeply, "I owe her so much. ”

Huggins glanced up at the sky and said to Todd, "Your Majesty, the food is already cold, I'll let the back kitchen heat it up." ”

Todd turned his gaze to the lights of the thousands of homes in the city, and his eyes were full of prosperity and loneliness: "It's okay, just put the food there, let me see the city for a while." ”
