Chapter 50: The Church of Birti

Princess Claudia is a devout polydoctrinal believer, and the city of Birti is small in size, but it has a striking, unusual church. When Albert entered the city, he asked the Crawford brothers why the Earl of Destiny had such a magnificent place of erudition.

Knowing that the young Ah had been trained by the Bojiao monks since he was a child, and had a lot of affection for Bojiao, he had already done his homework before, and he calmly explained: "After the Cremish Throne became famous in the battle of Roma City, the Tambolance Empire was immediately supported by him, and the entire Bodi Continent responded like a tsunami, but the Kentan Kingdom to the west was an exception. Their monarch still uses the long-extinct Vane Empire as an excuse to say nothing and submit to the newly formed Tamborance Tent. Clement was not only a great polymath, but also an admirable strategist, considering that Kentan was located in the western corner of the country, and that with lofty mountains as its backing, if he turned his face and attacked it, he would definitely destroy the already weak foundation of Tamborans. He adopted a policy of gentleness, and ordered a number of churches and monasteries to be built in the vicinity of Kentan. This building in the city of Birti is also a legacy of that time, and has been renovated by the Liberal Devotees for hundreds of years. Several pious Counts of Destiny have also funded the renovation and reconstruction, so it has lasted for a long time and looks particularly magnificent and solemn. ”

"And how did this Kentan kingdom finally come to pass?" Albert wondered.

Tarun smiled and said: "This matter is a long story, the reason why Kentan can be one of the Electors, it is also the result of the game between the two sides, I just know a little about this matter, if Your Highness has a heart, you can ask the people of Destinibe, or if you go to Kentan in the future, you can personally ask their duke." ”

The old Count of Destini came up with a trick and thought of colluding with the people of the Cortés. That Neo was sent by the pseudo-pope Pisius to support Albert, but Neo was not a careerist who could remain under the rule of others for long. Pisius is still sincere to Albert, but Neo is different, he only shows three points of truth to anyone, even the Pope of Cortése.

Princess Claudia is still a sober-minded person, she is very dissatisfied with Neo's actions, and a few kind-hearted subordinates secretly reminded her to guard against Neo, she looked at her father's face, and did not turn his face to Neo for the time being, but made compromises to plan for the future.

The day after Albert went out of the city to raid Mandunkou, the princess got up early, and after washing up, left her maid Catherine, and hurried to the church.

The architecture is unique and incorporates some of the most sophisticated elements of the Guvien Empire. Its lobby is particularly tall, topped by a portrait of the erudite prophet Cyril, and the surrounding windows are engraved with Pope Clement's handwriting: Know, Do, Good.

The only drawback is that there are only three or four people practicing in it today, and Bishop Mirière is the leader of them.

This man was in his sixties, in good spirits, and often gave to the poor, and Princess Claudia had been presiding over the church before she was even born.

Although the old earl was addicted to wine, he still had a little heart for Bojiao. He had great respect for Bishop Mirière, and always asked someone to bring some of his condolences and gifts to the church during the holidays. In some special years, the old earl would even come to worship in person.

Princess Claudia's subtle influence on her maid Catherine, coupled with her father's tacit, made a very good impression of the church and of Bishop Mirière himself.

Her worried expression made Bishop Mirière very worried: "Your Royal Highness, your father's illness has been getting better these days?"

Claudia forced a smile and said, "My lord, thank you for your concern, my father has been ill for a long time, and although there has not been any improvement in these days, it has not worsened. ”

The bishop nodded comfortingly: "Exactly, exactly, the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, as long as it does not get worse, it is good news." ”

"My lord, I ......" Claudia was suddenly a little excited, and she stopped talking.

Bishop Mirière wrapped the princess's slender hand tightly in his palm, and tried to find out her thoughts with those sharp and kind eyes that were perceptive to the world: "Your Royal Highness, please don't worry about state affairs, I had the good fortune to see that prince Albert when he entered the city, and it seems to me that his face is still childish, and his heart is still pure and gentle, and he will definitely not harm your father. ”

"My lord, my father has lived a life of mishap, but he is my biological father after all, and I don't want to see him worrying about state affairs when he is seriously ill. You say that the prince of Albert has a good heart, but what is the use of that? his men are very deep in the city, and they are bent on taking the city of Birti for their master. If he wasn't Borot's prison state, he might still be a good person, but the current situation is not up to him, my father's country is a dish in the bowl of their Borot principality, and sooner or later it will be swallowed up!"

Mirière wiped the tears that kept dripping from Claudia's eyes with his hand, and he first muttered words to himself for a while, and then said earnestly: "Princess, all things in the world are nothing more than condensed with goodness. Without goodness, all things become vanity. The Count's plight deserves sympathy, and you have grown up watching you from childhood. Although the Pope does not allow his cultivators to interfere too much in politics, I am willing to give it a try for you, the princess. ”

"You are wonderful, Bishop!" Claudia burst into tears, tears of hope and joy mixed with sorrow.

Mirière waited for her mood to calm down a little, and then said slowly, word by word: "Princess, where His Royal Highness Albert now lives, I intend to visit him personally. ”

"He lives on the edge of the Earl's Palace, and my father was originally going to let them live in the palace, but the generals were very suspicious and refused to agree, so they could only arrange to live on the edge of the mansion. ”

Claudia, knowing that the Bishop was not only good at words but also quick to act, reminded her again: "Last night my father summoned a Cortése who provided news of Albert's departure from the city, and that my father had relied on him so much that he was ready to join him against the plundering of the Duchy of Borot. ”

When Mirière heard this, he was shocked, but he still decided to respect Claudia's meaning, and tried to ask calmly: "Your Highness, what are your intentions, and is this Cortése credible?"

Claudia hesitated, although she didn't express anything, but the head on her neck shook vigorously from side to side, "He was too frivolous, he grabbed my hand as soon as he came up, my father was old and weak, and it was inconvenient for me to have a seizure in person, so I had to endure it." I don't think he's much better than Albert, maybe even more insidious!"

Mirière laughed, and just as he was about to speak, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the church, and a man who was so strong that he dismounted, took three steps and made two steps, and went straight into the church.

The Bishop greeted him from the side of the conversation, and saw that the other man was wearing a red scarf on his head, a red robe wrapped around his body, and a scabbard curved at his waist that stood out. As soon as the man saw Mirière, he immediately greeted with a smile on his face: "My lord, may I ask if Princess Claudia is here?"

The bishop nodded and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, is there anything to find the princess?"

"My lord, the contemptible Neo, on the orders of the Count de Stini, personally escorted the princess out of the city. ”

"Out of town?" Mirière was a little puzzled on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also hindered by the Count's order, so he could not show too much surprise.

Princess Claudia also stepped out from the side at this time, and she said in a loud voice, "Why did my father send you? Why are you in such a hurry to get out of the city now?"

Neo saluted respectfully and replied, "His Highness Albert of Borot may have been hampered in his plan to raid Mandunkou, and for your safety, the Earl is ready to send me to send you out of the city to take refuge from the limelight, so that we can facilitate our movements. ”

Bishop Mirière couldn't help but ask his own question: "Your Excellency, are you a Cortése?"

"Exactly. Neo had a look of pride.

"Cortés taught that to be the Emperor's favorite. There was something in Miri's lamentation.

"My lord, you are calling us heretics, but that is biased. We at the Cortés Church have never engaged in that kind of false propaganda that stirs people's hearts, nor do we engage in any empty forms. That's why the emperor pays attention to us and takes a fancy to us. Neo argued.

"It is true that you do not move much in your mouth, but you are very active and energetic in your actions. The remote state of Destinie has not yet been harassed by your followers, but the rest of the empire has not been so lucky. As far as I know, you have harassed the churches and monasteries of the Liberal Religion everywhere, and have also wantonly and secretly hunted down some devout Liberal Christians and monks, and even instigated the faithful to besiege the Holy See, and this is not enough?

"Isn't it the same with your Liberal Arts Sect?" Neo was a little annoyed, "You are just people with vested interests, and you will spare no effort to discredit our Cortés. You have churches and monasteries, and the offensive can be very violent. Those ignorant people can only hear your voice when they hear that the wind is rain, and they can use chicken feathers as arrows, and they can only hear your voice, and of course they will worship you as the truth. Even if there is something wrong with our Kotés Sect, it is forced by the situation and has to do it. The truth of becoming a king and defeating a villain, adults should understand. ”

Claudia, worried about her father, stopped their quarrel and asked Neo to see the old Count first, but Neo could not help but hold back his anger, and at last he did not forget the etiquette, bowed slightly to Bishop Mirière, and turned back and walked out of the church.

The princess had gone in such a hurry that she had no time to say anything more to the bishop, but she was relieved to read a lot from the old man's eyes.
