Naples City at the moment......

After Randy walks into a warehouse that was originally set up as a granary, he finally sees Narciss, who has fought against him many times, from a middle-aged person to an old man in a very short period of time.

This hollow-eyed, fool-like fellow heard that the Norman King, the commander of the coalition forces, was coming to see him, and he regained his spirit a little, but he seemed very confused.

"Your Excellency is Narciss?" Randy asked.

"That's right, you must be His Majesty Randy!"

"Yes!"

"What is your age this year?"

"Twenty!"

"Twenty?"

Narcisse felt a little incredulous, and then fell back into that state of blank eyes and empty eyes, and Randy also felt a little bored, and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, what do you think is better to do with him?" Maffeo hurriedly asked.

"He's your captive, it's your business to do what you do, kill him, keep him for ransom, or let him go."

Randy's indifferent statement made Maffeo very distressed.

The first two options will definitely offend the Eastern Roman Empire, and the latter option will inevitably offend the coalition forces, although this century war seems to be dominated by the coalition forces at present, but the Eastern Roman Empire still has the main force to come out, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the end, so Maffeo really doesn't want to offend, before he saw that Narcis was a great achievement, but now it seems that it is a big trouble.

Once again, intentionally or unintentionally, the poor worm of the Count of Bologna, Randy sent the knights of the Guards as usual, trying to find a well-preserved villa in the city of Naples as his temporary residence, but the result surprised Randy, after a series of searches, the knights of the guards ran back in embarrassment, saying that there was no building in the entire city of Naples that met Randy's requirements.

Randy was surprised when he heard the news, and it wasn't a big problem for Randy to find a good house in the city during the battles of Marseille, Stockholm, and even Bergen in the first place.

But this time, maybe the attack on Naples was too badly damaged, or maybe it was because of Randy's ten-day order to massacre the city, which inspired the fierceness of the soldiers, but in any case, Randy didn't want to stay in Naples City any longer.

On the other hand, Randy was relieved to not find a good house in Naples, and Randy walked out of Naples again, looking back at the city that was being slaughtered and was about to be burned down.

Along the way, the Knights of the Guards also sensed the monarch's inexplicable depression, so no one laughed, and the dull atmosphere further aggravated Randy's unhappiness.

For the first time, Randy felt that it was unpleasant to be surrounded by a group of loyal knights who could defend him at any time, so when he returned to the camp, Randy waved his hand to disperse the knights.

The knights were very surprised, but they didn't dare to disobey Randy's order, thinking that this was in the camp of Jifang, and secretly followed a lot of Norman killers to protect it, it should be no big deal, and the monarch's temper was not good, if he went up to persuade him, he was likely to be counted down or even punished by the monarch, so no one dared to touch this mold, and they all returned to their camp to play bridge, drink and compete.

In this way, only Randy was left alone, but Randy felt lonely, the camp was empty, most of the soldiers and even other commanders of the coalition army went to Naples to make a fortune, in fact, if it wasn't for the Normans' rules, half of what was robbed must be handed over to the king, Randy would not be able to help but go to Naples to rob.

Randy sighed softly, remembering someone she would never want to meet, or dare not meet, at this time, but finally gritted her teeth and walked towards her tent.

What Randy is most afraid to see now, obviously, is naturally the nun Joan of Arc whom he loves, Randy often thinks, maybe Joan of Arc is the last good person in this world, every time he spends a little longer with Joan of Arc, Randy's idea is a little stronger, and sometimes Randy thinks, is Joan of Arc really a saint? I felt ridiculous afterwards, but I have to say that Randy has been thinking more and more strongly in his heart recently.

"Joan of Arc! Is Joan of Arc in there? I'm coming in. Randy said this as he opened Joan of Arc's tent and walked in, which is quite strange, since Joan of Arc was influenced by him and changed to take a shower once every two or three days, Randy was thinking about the time to push the door in to see if he could meet the welfare state, but Randy was so brain-dead, but Joan of Arc is not an idiot, who would not lock the door when taking a shower? So Randy hasn't succeeded until now.

In the end, Randy gave up on this idea, thinking that after soaking Joan of Arc in his hands, he could see the nude or something at any time, and he didn't need to rush this time, but instead reduced Joan of Arc's favorability.

"I'm so sorry!"

"Huh?" That's when Joan of Arc reacted.

“………………”

Speaking of which, because Joan of Arc is recognized as Randy's lover in the whole army, no one has ever come to her camp except for a few servants arranged by Randy and Randy, and Randy is now going to attack Nabulus, Joan of Arc estimates that Randy will not come back so soon for a while, so he asked the maids to boil water and prepare for a bath, and then it developed like this, slightly blushing and heartbeating.

Although he had agreed to maintain a platonic spiritual relationship with Randy, Joan of Arc was completely unprepared when he saw the nude or something, recalling the way Randy stared at him intently just now, Joan of Arc put most of his body into the bucket and spit bubbles in the water.

Ten minutes later, Randy finally heard a gnat-like voice in the tent, "Come in!" ”

Randy breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Joan of Arc was not annoyed, so he opened the curtain and walked in, saying as he walked, "I'm really sorry just now, I didn't expect you to ......"

Randy was stunned again, because Joan of Arc was dressed a little differently at this time, with only a white bath towel wrapped around her bumpy body, and two slender thighs completely exposed underneath, and a knot tied at the chest, which didn't look strong, as if it could be untied with a slight pull.

"That'...... That ......"

Joan of Arc asked as she watched Randy stare at her again, feeling a little excited when she had calmed down.

"It's pretty, Joan of Arc, but why don't you get dressed?" Randy sighed softly and sat down in the chair next to Joan of Arc.

"I took them all and washed them, and just now I found out that there were no spare ones, and Sister Mary told me that she would look for a few spare clothes, but you came here before she came back."

Randy nodded, indicating that he already knew that the so-called Sister Mary was the maid that Randy transferred to serve Joan of Arc, who was just fourteen years old this year, and then he didn't know if he was taught by Joan of Arc or what, and he also became a little nun, so it was quite appropriate to follow Joan of Arc.

"You're back soon!" Still embarrassed, Joan of Arc watched Randy keep watching her not speak, and found a topic to break the silence.

At this point in the topic, Randy was a little lost: "Joan of Arc, I was in Naples just now, I saw something that made me uncomfortable, originally I thought my heart was hard enough, hard enough for me to ignore these things, but I found out that I was wrong, it turns out that I am not that strong, Joan of Arc, what should I do?" ”

Randy asked, moving a chair closer to Joan of Arc, holding Joan of Arc's hands.

"Do you regret it? Or are you willing to repent of these things and promise not to commit such sins again? ”

"I don't regret it, even if I could turn back time, I would choose this way."

"That's true! You are such a character, you look sleek on the surface, but you are extremely stubborn on the inside, so what about even the most basic confessions and confessions? ”

"That's what only cowards do, regretting in their hearts and asking for forgiveness and forgiveness from Jesus Christ, and repeating it over and over again, and even God loathes them, and the more they pray, the more God will dislike them."

"You may have some truth in that!" Joan of Arc thought for a moment and whispered.

"Joan of Arc?" Randy was a little surprised to see that Joan of Arc agreed with her words.

"Nope! I have something to say to you...... It's just that...... Can I trust you? ”

"Hey! But I saved you from the stake. When Randy heard Joan of Arc's words, he said excitedly like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

"Yes! If you can't even be trusted, then you won't be able to find someone you trust, in fact, I've been thinking about a lot of things these days, and many of them are related to you. ”

"Please, I'll try to satisfy you."

"Does this crusader really stand for justice? Can it really represent God's will? What is the purpose of the gap between the Eastern and Western churches? Is it simply a difference in philosophy, or is it because of worldliness and power? If it's because of the difference in philosophy, then who is right? If it is because of the worldly and power, then neither side can naturally represent the will of God, so who can represent the real God? Since the clergy do not represent the will of God, what about the Pope? Can the Pope represent the will of God? Or is he just a deception? ”

“………………”

Randy really didn't expect that someone like Joan of Arc would say such a rebellious thing, and it would be okay to deny the Crusades, but for the Catholic Church, for the Pope to question, what's the matter? Is time and space out of order? Is it now the sixteenth century, the age of Protestantism?

But it's not an opportunity! Speaking of which, Randy is also very jealous of the Catholic Church, and if he wants to dominate the continent in the future, this group of gods may be a threat, around the right of bishops, the right of church taxes, tithes, and the struggle between the church and the royal family all over the continent has always existed and will continue to exist.

This is not different from the world in which Randy lived before, from the establishment of the Papal States in the Middle Ages to the peak of Innocent III's authority of the Church, all the royal families of all Europe prostrate at the feet of the Pope, and the papal decree is like the voice of God, and no one obeys it.

But this good life did not last long, the Black Death soon swept across Europe, severely hitting the authority of the church, and then the extreme rise of feudal dynasties, Germany promoted Protestantism for religious reform, Britain implemented the state religion, and the church was classified as a royal vassal, and France took a pope from the Vatican and imprisoned him in Avignon.

Britain, France, Germany, and the three major European powers in their own ways ended the domination of the Catholic Church in their own ways, while the other two countries that last adhered to the Catholic faith, Austria and Spain, gradually fell into second-rate countries, and the status of the Catholic Church plummeted. Even the last fiefdom, Rome, could not be kept.

The struggle between the church and the feudal dynasty lasted for a thousand years, during which there were many repetitions, dangerous and abnormal, the slightest carelessness is an endless abyss, as the king Randy is so arrogant, the future and the Catholic Church is certain, Randy has supported Joan of Arc before, with Joan of Arc's fame and the title of saint, to resist the influence of the Catholic Church, and build cathedrals named after Joan of Arc throughout the Norman Kingdom, which belongs to the management of Joan of Arc, and there is also a heart to take precautions.

Randy looked at Joan of Arc's longing gaze a little speechless, he seemed to have come to Joan of Arc to seek solace for his soul, not to comfort Joan of Arc's soul, although it was not bad.

Randy organized his language and said to Joan of Arc, "Do you think the current Catholic Church represents Jesus Christ?" ”

Joan of Arc shook her head: "I don't know! ”

"And what do you see on a daily basis? It is true that among the clergy there were many penances, who lived in poverty, who were unusually religious, but many more were scoundrels, who ate the best food, drank the best wine, lived in rooms called monasteries, which were in fact castles and palaces, had large amounts of land and other assets for them to squander, and they were not enough, and they had to collect tithes, and they had to sell indulgences, and even more odious were these bastards, who did not pay even a single copper plate tax to the state. Without that last word, Joan of Arc would really be treating Randy as a cynical theologian.

"There is some truth in what you say, and the corruption of some clergy is indeed a fact, but it does not negate the entire church."

"Of course not, as I said, there are good and bad priests, and you can't generalize, but Joan of Arc, you have to know one thing, no matter how much a priest hates another priest, no matter how much he wants him to die, when the nobles, knights, theologians, and the like accuse that priest, the other priests will certainly help him to say good things, because they are one, and they think that only the priest can accuse another priest, and only the pope can judge whether a priest is guilty or not."
