When Duke returns to the castle hall with Lenia, he finds Vlavic alone waiting to report on yesterday's work and today's work schedule.

As for Joseph, he had long been unaware of where he had conspired with Anvil and Leniel on how to get more equipment and benefits for the least amount of money, and he had not been seen at all.

"I thought it would take you a long time to patrol the barracks, but I didn't expect to come back so soon. Vlavich took a few steps forward to greet Duke, then looked at his face and asked, "Is something going on?"

Duke looked at his Home Secretary with some gloom, and he walked in with a normal face, but he could read something out of his face at a casual glance.

Maybe it's a human spirit!

He secretly complained a few words in his heart, but said quietly on his face: "Her Royal Highness Agnes, the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light, will probably go to the Connaughton area in three days to inspect the matter of the last cultist. ”

Vlavich said unhurriedly with a sudden look on his face: "It turned out to be His Highness Agnes, this is a very good thing, with her we don't have to worry about the revenge of the cultists." ”

"Is she amazing?" Duke asked, curiously, and then he understood from the strange expressions on Lenia and Vlavich that he had asked a stupid question.

But there really wasn't the slightest impression in his mind, and most of the memories he had inherited were about how to maintain decency worthy of dukedom with the least amount of gold, or the thirteen elegant ways to drink cheap wine, and how to make the most graceful movements while eating the worst food.

Little is known about many things on the continent, let alone Her Highness the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light.

"Her Royal Highness Agnes is one of the best priests in the Church of Light for more than 700 years, and the last outstanding person who can compare with her is the current Pope Pius V, so many people say that she is very likely to become a rare female pope in the future!" Vlavich roughly told Duke about the deeds of the holy woman Agnes.

Duke found out that this so-called Church of Light saint was born with a proper protagonist template.

She came from a religious but lowly family, her parents were low-level church servants, and although she was very religious, her social status was only slightly higher than that of serfs and untouchables who had no personal freedom.

At the time of her birth, it was said to be radiant, and the smell of incense used in the sacrifice filled the inside and outside of the delivery room, and even the statue of the god of light in the Cathedral of Divine Radiance shook lightly three times.

These visions caught the attention of Pope Pius V at the time, and he took her in as a godson.

And she lived up to expectations, and at the age of three, she was able to get the favor of the God of Light and receive God's gifts. When he was an adult at the age of sixteen, he began to make a grand wish to travel all over the continent, spread the holy light, and save the suffering, and he has been traveling on the mainland for seven years, leaving beautiful legends and rumors in various places, and is believed to be an angel.

After listening to Agnes's deeds, Duke couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the scrap wood template he had gotten, "This is the real big guy." ”

Vlavic didn't understand what Duke was saying, but said seriously: "So with His Highness Agnes handling this matter for us, then we don't have to worry too much about what bad things will happen." ”

He paused at this point, and waited for Duke to listen carefully to him before adding, "The most important thing is that we must welcome and entertain her strictly according to etiquette, and do not end up offending the entire Church of Light by neglecting her in such a trivial matter." ”

"Is this Holy Highness difficult to get along with?"

"Her Royal Highness Agnes is said to be very amiable, so she shouldn't care too much......"

"Then why do you have to prepare so luxuriously, I think it costs a lot of money. ”

"Lord. Vlavich took a deep breath before slowly saying, "I don't think it's wise to dwell on the cost and role of such a small thing, and it's not in our interests and your style." ”

Duke smiled and nodded to indicate that he knew, but he wasn't unaware of the importance of welcome and etiquette.

But when he made the herald's manship arrangements, spices, flowers, ceremonial guards, and all sorts of other splendid things, but none other than ornamentation.

All of these add up to more than a thousand gold coins!

And it was only the cost of a welcome ceremony, and Duke felt that he might as well allocate the spare money to the anvil for him to improve the new weapons or give it directly to the people.

So he resisted a little, but in the end he had to prepare according to the requirements on the list, and there are still many things that need the help of the church, just because this evil is not worth it.

Sooner or later, this decadent feudal religion will be outlawed!

Duke secretly made up his mind that when he was strong enough, he would give them a ruthless revenge and let them hold a welcome ceremony for him.

"Lord, do you think this is okay?Lord?" Vlavic's inquiring voice pulled Duke's thoughts back, and he had just told Duke all the arrangements, but Duke didn't hear much.

"Ah...... Okay, you and Joseph estimate the price and method, I think it's okay to follow the above. Duke froze, looked at the list again, and with some interest, took out his own seal and stamped it.

However, Duke remembered one more thing, and asked Lenia with some curiosity, "By the way, how will the people of the Church of Light investigate the cultists, just by virtue of the notes we have recorded the cult rituals?"

"The clergy of the Church of Light usually use quite a bit of survey magic to monitor the aura of cultists, and some powerful clergy, such as His Royal Highness Agnes, should also use special magic items to trace back. Lenia thought for a moment and replied.

"How?"

"I guess it's a specific ritual magic, but I don't know the specifics. ”

Duke touched his smooth chin, the Church of Light's methods of investigating the cultists were somewhat unexpected, he didn't expect that there would be a similar magic that used time.

But soon, a somewhat familiar word caught his attention, and he asked, somewhat uncertainly, "You just said ...... 'ritual'?"

"Yes, rituals. ”

Agnes ...... Arrive in the north in a few days.....

Confirm the traces of the infidels...... Ritual Magic......

Duke suddenly combined the murmur he had heard in the golden space of his dream with the information in front of him.

When he figured out the joints, his eyes widened.
