Chapter 81: The Bishop Arrives
ps: Thank you for the second reward of the robot Tianyu, thank you!
After a short time together, Joseph had a great affection for Manstein, and Manstein was the same, although he did not immigrate to Nord, it is conceivable that he would stay in Nord for the next period of time, and maybe even die in Nord.
The teachers were satisfied, and the students felt that they were getting along very well, but not everything went in a smooth direction, at least Joseph did not like the arrival of the Bishop of the Vatican.
Originally, the bishop was supposed to come some time ago, but he didn't know what to delay, so he didn't come here now, because he didn't like it, Joseph didn't go to the airport to greet him that day.
At Nord Airport, when James greeted the plane with a smile, the bishop couldn't help but smile when he didn't see the familiar figure, and then said to James teasingly: "It seems that this little guy doesn't like me very much!" ”
The bishop's bluntness made James a little embarrassed, although the Vatican no longer has political influence, but their appeal is still very strong, after all, it is the world's first religion.
"Lord Bishop said with a smile, His Highness followed his military teacher to study military theory last night, and slept late, so he ......"
"Military teacher? That German General Manstein? ”
"Yes, General Manstein."
Originally, James thought that the bishop was dissatisfied, but who would have thought that after learning that it was indeed Manstein, the bishop actually nodded with satisfaction, indicating that Joseph could indeed learn something by following him.
"The hotel is ready to ......"
"Hotels? I'm not going to stay in the hotel James, so help me get a room in the palace! ”
"This ......"
I wanted to refuse, but considering the bishop's identity and the origin of the Ragnar family, this refusal could not be said in any way, and theoretically, even Joseph could only obey the bishop here.
There was no way, after getting in the car, the group could only go to the palace, and now James only wanted Joseph to save some face for himself, and he was sleeping instead of frolicking or having fun.
The journey from the airport to the palace was not very far, and on the way the bishop kept looking out through the car window, the streets of the Duchy of Nord were notoriously clean and tidy, and nodded secretly to show that the bishop was satisfied with the place.
"The airport is a little small, not in line with the international airport and the current Nord economy, I think your cabinet should be re-rested, and in terms of people's livelihood, I don't want my old friend's country to lose in your hands."
...... defeat, James may not have heard this word for a long time, after all, Joseph is synonymous with miracles, as long as he stays in the Nord principality, no one thought that one day the Nord will decline.
The bishop knew very well what James was thinking, and he did not speak again, but from the expression on his face, it was clear that he was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the officials of the Duchy of Nord at this time.
At the same time in the Nord Palace, Joseph looked at Elias Canetti in front of him and listened to his lecture very carefully, Elias Canetti was Joseph's literature teacher and Nobel Prize winner in literature, and had a great influence on literature.
"You should be very clear about the history of France, Joseph, but what I want to talk about now is the relationship between the Duchy of Nord and France, although this is an internal matter of your family, but I believe that the records of the Ragnar family after World War II should be very few."
"Yes, teacher, there are very few things in the family records now, but where did you know about these things, teacher?"
"Hehe, this is also a coincidence, a few years ago I was working in the Munich Library in Germany, and when I was looking through some documents at random, I found some things about the Nord Principality, including some of the life of your grandfather His Majesty Ragnar, but ......"
Elias Canetti paused, hesitating to know if some real history should be told to Joseph, after all, Ragnar I was not a decent character.
"Mr. Canetti, although there is a lot of missing family information, there is still a part of it that I know."
Elias Canetti's appearance Joseph knew what was causing it at a glance, so he hurriedly explained that he already knew something, but he didn't know the specifics.
"That's the best, then let's talk about ......"
"Mr. Elias Canetti, I'll do these things."
Famous writers, especially those of great worldwide fame like Elias Canetti, were very taboo about others interjecting in his lectures, so he looked in the direction of the door with great dissatisfaction, but ......
"Master Paul?"
"Canetti, long time no see."
"Long time no see!"
The two big men hugged each other very warmly, Joseph pouted disdainfully, but he was also a little strange about the identity of the person who came, you must know that this is the Nord Palace, ordinary people can't enter, but then he saw James on the side...... James? He wasn't there to pick up the new Lord......
As if remembering something, Joseph looked at the middle-aged man named Paul, if nothing else, this is the newly arrived bishop of the Duchy of Nord! It's just that James meant to bring it here, and he looked familiar with Elias Canetti.
All right! It's not very familiar but it's a pair of friends at all, the two hugged each other and didn't say anything, and they also came to a veneer ceremony, and even talked with a passionate look, of course, the next thing was purely Joseph's own association.
"Prime Minister James, this is ......"
Joseph really couldn't stand being ignored, so he asked James to introduce him, but this made James very embarrassed, because he didn't know how to introduce the bishop Paul, saying that the bishop of the Vatican was afraid that Joseph would not be satisfied and even directly expressed his attitude, so wouldn't things go bad?
A direct introduction to Paul's relationship with the Ragnar family? This was not right, after all, he knew very well how much Joseph hated the divine right to come to his kingdom.
"Your Highness, this is the new Bishop of Nord from the Vatican, Lord Paul......"
"Hello, Bishop Paul!"
To James's surprise, Joseph did not express his dissatisfaction but stepped forward to greet him very warmly, which made James puzzled and a little apprehensive at the same time, such an attitude is not right!
"Joseph, if you don't like me, don't force it, if I don't like it in your identity either, hypocrisy and lying are not in chivalry."
Your sister's chivalry, I'm not a knight, the chivalry of wool, and where are you sacred, actually calling me by my name, I'm very familiar with you?
Joseph's heart is full of dissatisfaction, but his inner dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, after all, he represents the Vatican, and there are some things that he still can't say, not only can't say that he should give face, but also need to give everything.
"Maybe James didn't tell you, me and your grandfather, that old fellow at Ragnar...... Ahem, His Majesty Ragnar has a very good relationship, in fact, I can also be regarded as a member of half of the Ragnar family...... Of course, not the kind you think. ”
When Paul's words came to his mind, Joseph's first thought was that he had an illegitimate child, but before he could think deeply, he was interrupted by Paul's ugly face, and Elias Canetti laughed on the sidelines.
"Your Highness, Lord Paul is the godson of His Majesty Ragnar, but he was taken away by His Majesty John XXIII when he was very young, and he has been practicing penance at the Vatican all these years."
Originally, Joseph was still a little skeptical, but James said this, and Elias Canetti kept nodding on the side, Joseph was convinced, but this did not make Joseph have a good impression of Paul.
