Chapter 459: A New Cardinal
The Cathedral of Merry, with the exception of the tall and solemn main church in the middle, is divided into two parts, east and west. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 To the east is the office of the cardinal, while to the west is the bishop of the city of Merry.
The cardinal's place is a place for office work in the front and a luxurious and comfortable place to rest in the back. The place of office, because of the cardinal's concession to the Merry family, except for the tritriennial meeting of all the bishops of all the southeastern dioceses, is sparsely populated in front of the door on weekdays.
The cardinal, who had no church affairs to deal with, was happy to be idle, and the gold coins sent by the Merry family filled one wooden box after another. There is also a woman sent by the Merry family, the Merry family fully considers the cardinal's taste, so that the cardinal does not always eat the same thing and gets tired, so under normal circumstances, the woman changes once a month.
Because the Fengyue place and the slave market in Meri City are in the hands of the Merry family, there is never a lack of women. When the cardinal gets tired of playing crookedly, change to a new group of people, and the old ones return to be sold as slaves, or continue to return to the Fengyue place to sell.
In order to ensure that the cardinal's body would not be squeezed dry by women, the Merry family also carefully prepared delicious food and drink for him to replenish his body, and of course, magic potions that allowed him to show his strength. The life of a cardinal is what these women dream of, and all the women who are also flexible, in order to escape from the sea of suffering, use all their skills to cater to the cardinal, trying to be favored so that they can stay by their side, and there seems to be a real example of success.
But this quiet day was upset ten years ago, when a new cardinal came to the city of Merry. This cardinal has made the usual methods of the Merry family invalid. Gold coins are not accepted by others, and women are not rare. The cardinal made his preparations and came to the city of Merry.
The cardinal, who was called Atlantis, came to the city of Meri with enough gold coins and twenty beautiful women. There are many gem-quality magic crystal cards, showing the cardinal's wealth, and the twenty beauties are handmaidens who have dedicated their lives to the god of light. The God of Light is now hiding underground to survive, where do you need maids, so these are all crazy believers who have come specially to satisfy their own happiness by the big men of the Bright Church.
Dedicating oneself to the God of Light is one thing to dedicating oneself to them, because they are the spokesmen of the God of Light. Can you speak for the instructions of the God of Light, and naturally you can also speak for the God of Light's needs. You made the cardinal happy, because the cardinal and the god of light have the same heart, isn't it also the god of light?
Therefore, from the Pope to the bishops below, they all rightfully rode on these handmaidens, working for the God of Light and enjoying for the God of Light. How noble the god of light is, let them do these laborious tasks for them, and as for the pleasure, the god of light can share it for a while.
So Cardinal Atlantis brought twenty handmaidens from the Holy Mountain, all but a few whom he had been enjoying, and the others were fresh maids who had just been ready to be consecrated.
Both the gold coin and the woman are useless, then as a man, the cardinal is also a man, and the rest is the lust for power. And the right is precisely what the Merry family is unwilling to let go, and the two sides have no intersection of common interests, and the fight is inevitable.
The first thing Atlantis did when he came to the city of Merry was to summon all the bishops of the southeastern diocese to the city of Meri to listen to the cardinal's lecture. This would have been a normal thing, and when a new cardinal takes office, he will definitely meet as a subordinate bishop.
However, at this meeting, Cardinal Atlantis specially read the canon of the Holy See of Light to all the bishops, but not all of them. It would take several days to read the entire thick canon. What Atlantis read out was the canon on the rights and duties of cardinals and bishops.
Not only did Cardinal Atlantis read it once, but in order to deepen everyone's impression, he specially asked the three maids to read it again. And that's not all, Cardinal Atlantis is a good and helpful man, and asked all the bishops to read it in turn, and finally come to a live assessment to see how well the bishops learned.
This toss, from six o'clock in the morning, you must know that this is winter, and it is still dark at six o'clock in the morning, and the meeting began. Out of polite respect for the cardinal, the big guy basically didn't even eat breakfast, and hurried to meet the cardinal, ready to eat a meal of food and wine prepared by the cardinal.
But it's a pity that not to mention the food, there is only a glass of white water, and I don't like to drink it. From breakfast to noon, Cardinal Atlantis had no intention of preparing lunch, nothing, it was too important to study the canons of the god of light, and no one would die if he was hungry.
This is the cardinal's territory, and behind the cardinal's throne is a convenient place for the cardinals to rest, which can only be used by the cardinals, who are not yet eligible to share. At lunchtime, and then the maid read the canon, Atlantis went to the back to make it easier. It's just that this convenient time is really long, almost an hour, and when he returns, the cardinal's face is red, his spirit is high, and there is a touch of blush on his cheeks.
Convenient? The back is indeed a convenient and good place, Cardinal Atlantis, ate a large plate of fatty barbecue in the back, and drank half a bottle of Blue Shadow. By the way, holding a beautiful maid, it was deeply convenient on the body, because it was a convenient place for the cardinal, involving the privacy of the Holy See, and the soundproofing effect of this room was nothing to say.
After the convenience was over, and the battlefield was cleaned up under the service of another resentful lady, Cardinal Atlantis may have felt that it was too long to be inconvenient, and it was time to go out and share the weal and woe with the bishops.
So, in a blink of an eye, it was evening again, and it was dark and it was time for supper on the surface of the bishops' rumbling bellies. It's been a day, and your majesty is enough, shouldn't your old man have a sumptuous dinner to comfort and comfort our injured little liver.
The big guys understand that Cardinal Atlantis is not coming for them today, they are just suffering from the fish in the pond.
Who knows that the cardinal said that the big guy is studying at the end of the day, in order to deepen the impression, let the maid read it to you a few more times, can any big guy talk about the learning experience. How can this study of the canon be done without communication? If there is no communication, I will regress and continue to study, so I will go to make it easier for me first.
Well, the bishops continued to listen listlessly as the maids read the canon, and their sweet voices and graceful figures made people think about it. But now, the bishops felt that the graceful figure was not as good as a piece of turkey meat. I can't help it, I'm hungry, so hungry that I can't even sleep.
