Chapter 116, the first confrontation (ask for subscription~!!)
As a member of the royal family that rules the empire, Arthur has to use and guard against the Church of the Seven Gods!
Religious and religious, the bachelors were specially trained to serve the imperial power and the nobility, and their loyalty was unquestionable.
Religion, on the other hand, represents divine power, which is nominally superior to the imperial power of mortals.
If the power is too great, it will inevitably threaten the emperor's right to rule, so the Church of the Seven Gods must be strictly guarded.
Think of Rome in the history of the West in the previous life, the Holy See was powerful, the pope held the divine power, had supreme authority, overrode the monarch, and controlled the people's thoughts and culture......
Arthur didn't want to see Westeros' socio-economic, cultural, technological, etc., because religion could not be developed!
And the Emperor Robert and Prince Stannis.
The Lahlo Church in Essos, which has been brought into the house and given a chance to enter the arena of power, is trying to grow and grow.
Especially after Melisandre's descendants, when Arthur left the Wall, Emperor Robert and the other northern nobles frowned.
Even Stannis felt a little too big to drop!
Let the Church of the Seven Gods re-enter the field to balance the Lahlo Church, it must be controlled!
After negotiating with the prince, Brother Mars immediately asked, "Your Highness, where should my brother and niece meet you?"
"Well, I'm going to go to the Horn Tomb, and then I'm going to the Tower of Babel in Old Town. Arthur said.
Mars: "Then, I will ask my brother and niece to wait for His Highness in the Old Town." ”
After dealing with the Church of the Seven Gods, he gathered two helpers and prepared to form a team to go north to fight the strange ghosts, and the young man rode back on horseback.
At this time, the sun is setting, and the colorful and splendid charming sunset spreads on the earth.
Looking at the aristocratic girl beside her, she made a curtain at dusk, with a charming face and an intoxicating smile like a fairy in the glow.
The more she looked, the more beautiful she felt.
Arthur could not be disgusted by his ambition and scheming.
"Do you want to come with me to the Horn Tomb?"
"Is it okay?" Hearing the prince's invitation, Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then she was ecstatic, which means that Arthur has recognized her and is qualified to become friends or more!
At least, Arthur, who understands the meaning of the emperor and the prime minister, Ryan, Varian and others, doesn't want to do anything with the poisonous tongue of Hainrikai for the time being.
I'm afraid of being killed!
Hearing the prince's irrational words, Selena suddenly couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, please don't do stupid things!"
"Is it true that when I become a prince, I don't even have the freedom to make a friend?"
"No, I'm just reminding you on behalf of Anne and Hainrikay. Selena said with a straight face.
"I've always kept my sanity. Arthur shook his head helplessly, and then said to the girl with a charming smile on her face full of satisfaction, "I wonder if you are interested in printing and publishing books?"
"Printing?publishing books?"
The aristocratic girl who heard the words looked puzzled, but seeing that the prince's serious expression was talking to herself, she hurriedly asked, "Can Your Highness explain it in detail?"
"Oh, I'm going to write a few novels, a collection of stories, a collection of fairy tales, a collection of poems, and so on, and then I'm going to authorize you to open a printing workshop and print books for sale. ”
"Is it the printing workshops outside the school?" asked Natalie at once, "Did Your Highness tell me about the novels, stories, fairy tales, and poems that he was going to write?"
"It's only part of it, but it's not enough to write well and the content is appealing, we also need to promote and build momentum, and you also need to learn some special marketing techniques. ”
"Propaganda and hype, special marketing techniques?" Although she didn't understand it, Natalie felt very powerful.
Arthur: "Propaganda is not just about telling people that we have books to sell, but also about getting attention before we sell them, and I hope all of Westeros, and even the nine free trade city-states, Slave Bay..."
The marketing concept of advanced propaganda, born in a barbaric and backward era, did not have much professional education, was only taught by a tutor, and then Natalie, who has been teaching herself, was stunned when she heard it.
In fact, during this period of chatting with the prince, she inadvertently accepted a lot of advanced knowledge and ideas from another world, and she has grown up unconsciously.
also secretly vowed to hold on to Arthur's golden legs!
......
After a ride with Mars, they then turned to the wooded hills, next to the Horn Tomb of the Crimson Mountains.
The small caravan of more than thirty people in total was very inconspicuous.
He was also a bookseller who sold books, and the carriage contained only harmless books, and the person in charge was a little aristocratic girl in her teens.
There was no chance of causing trouble, and the group entered the territory of the Tully family without incident.
In front of the castle, Arthur took out the letter and walked to the guard at the city gate: "Hello, I have a letter from the Deep Forest Fort in the North, and I want to ask to see Lord Randolph Tully, and please report it." ”
Looking at the small aristocratic caravan parked in front of the castle gate, and the teenager who took out the letter.
"Please wait. The guard hesitated, and then ran to the castle to spread the word.
It didn't take long.
The crowd was allowed to enter the castle and taken by the guards to the welcoming hall.
Lady Melissa, wife of Count Randolph Tully and a noblewoman from the Florentine family of Bright Waters, came with a bachelor.
He politely said to the young man who took out the letter from Shenlinburg: "Please forgive me, my husband went out hunting with his son, I don't know who you are?"
"Madame, you can read the letter first. ”
Arthur, who wasn't going to introduce himself, smiled.
It's not that pride looks down on people.
It's because he was originally an illegitimate child, and not many nobles knew him, so he was afraid that no one would believe him after introducing himself, so he specially asked the nobles in the north to jointly prepare this letter confirming his identity.
As a prince, he actually has a royal coat of arms to prove his identity.
It's just that if others want to recognize you as a prince, they will recognize it if they don't take out the royal badge, and if they don't recognize you as a prince, they will be considered stolen if they take out the badge.
"His Highness Arthur Holy Lorraine?"
Hearing this, Lady Melissa was puzzled to open the wax and check the letter, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly got up and saluted the young man.
"Madame don't have to be polite, this is my badge, and I know that many nobles have never seen me, so I have to work proof. ”
"Your Highness, no one dares to offend the majesty of the royal family by impersonating your identity. ”
Arthur was very happy to hear the Count's wife solemnly admit her status as a prince, which illustrated a message.
- The Tully also recognized that the Holy Loren family was royal and did not fully throw themselves into the Lannisters!
"I wonder when Count Tully will return, I want to discuss something with the Earl. ”
When Lady Melissa heard this, she immediately said, "I will send for my husband to come back at once, and ask Your Highness to wait a moment, and let me order the servants to come and entertain me." ”
The family crest of the Tully family is the Walking Hunter.
The castle decoration is not luxurious, but it shows the heritage and opulence in the low-key, as well as the martial arts.
Enjoying Lady Melissa's hospitality, Arthur finally took a comfortable hot bath, Natalie chatted with the three young ladies of the Tully family, and Selena was bored to accompany several aristocratic girls.
After a pleasant bath, the boy finally met the Earl of Horning, the famous tiger general of Westeros, Randolph Tully.
"Hello, Earl, it is an honor to meet you. ”
Randolph Tully was a rigid but steel-willed and shrewd man, and when he saluted the prince, he asked straight to the point: "Your Highness is here, do you want the Tully family to send troops to support Your Majesty?"
