In front of the temple built by Bei Selen, Luo Lan personally greeted the messengers of the Central Church who came from afar. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】

But an unexpected event made this otherwise grand welcome a little cold, as the procession of hundreds of people was attacked by a horde of barbarians on the way.

When the news came, Luo Lan was also slightly stunned, because this matter was not from his handiwork, in fact, he had decided to temporarily accept this as a help for his own establishment of the seminary, the Pope did want to use himself, but why didn't he want to use the other party?

It was precisely because both sides knew this that this party was able to pass through the lands of the Kingdom of Dentonlun so smoothly and then follow the trade route into the plain of Bethlehem.

But the key point is that the barbarian tribe has been sparing no effort to suppress Luo Lan since he became a bishop, and restricting each other from all aspects of food and weapons, it can be said that the current barbarians no longer occupy the scenery of the Northern Selen period, and have even degraded to the previous primitive tribal form, and most of the remaining tribes have even retreated to the edge of Bethlehem, barely surviving.

Moreover, maintaining trade routes has always been important to Luo Lan, and even built a lot of fortresses and fortresses for this purpose, and there are holy war armies patrolling back and forth, it can be said that in this case, even ordinary bandits and robbers cannot appear in this area, let alone a large number of barbarians appear in the hinterland of Bethlehem, and then attack a powerful team Such an unthinkable thing is unbelievable......

Luo Lan frowned slightly, he had a vague concept in his heart.

Although most of the clergy were cold and hostile, the Lesmio priest obviously did not take this matter to heart, and was still very interested in meeting Luo Lan, and talking freely about the current situation on the continent and what he had seen and heard, and for a while, the dull atmosphere was broken by his peaceful and warm laughter.

But to Luo Lan's surprise, Daphne was actually in the queue of the priests this time, and his expression was slightly stunned. Soon he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Priest Daphne, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, right?" I didn't expect that after the battle of the dragon slayer, we could meet again in the distant Eastern Continent, it seems that the rope of fate is as unpredictable as the Lord said, full of accidents and surprises. ”

From the very beginning, Devany's gaze never left Luo Lan's figure. Now the latter has lost a bit of its former closeness, but has added a lot of unfathomable majesty and depth. She bowed very formally, and said with a somewhat indifferent expression: "I've seen Lord Bishop. ”

Luo Lan's eyebrows moved imperceptibly, he nodded, quietly turned his gaze away slightly, and then moved back to the Lesmio sacrifice.

Before meeting this person. Luo Lan would never have imagined such an unattractive middle-aged man. It is actually a high place to worship in the central papacy. He stood inconspicuously in the crowd. The reason why he can be distinguished. It's just because he wears a red robe that is different from the rest. But no matter how you look at it, you feel that this luxurious and supreme majesty robe is incompatible with him. His words, words and deeds have nothing to do with nobility and majesty.

But Luo Lan had to admit it. This is a very charismatic person. The other party is not as deep and introverted as those schemers. Rather, it is extremely talkative. He is not shy about even touching sensitive topics on the papal land. His honesty surprised Luo Lan. There was even a little admiration in my heart. Anyone who confronted this sacrificial ground would probably not be able to regard him as a pure enemy. It's a friend who can benefit from each other.

But. This aroused Luo Landi's interest and vigilance.

In fact. Able to do this position on the ground. All of them have gone through a brutal struggle that is no less than war. Step by step, he stepped on the corpses of others and climbed up to the ground. Such people. If you only judge from the preconceived impressions on the surface. That's definitely going to be a big deal before you know it.

There was a small interlude at the banquet at the hospitality ground. A noble girl unintentionally spilled a glass of wine on the sacrificial lord's lichen robe. All the guests looked at each other. However. Lesmio, who was supposed to be angry, took off his robe very casually. And nodded very seriously. Said: "Although I have long wanted to take off this robe that blocks your enthusiasm. But out of etiquette, I really didn't dare to do it. Now this idea has been achieved by this young lady for me. ”

There was a good-natured laugh in the hall. The girl hurriedly apologized in a daze.

When everyone left, the priest of Lesmio asked Luo Lan to retreat, and presented a parchment scroll to Luo Lan's surprised gaze, saying: "This is my own idea of the seminary, please take a look, Lord Bishop." ”

Luo Lan didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, but smiled and said: "The sacrifice lord has a tiring journey, this matter is not in a hurry, we will have time to discuss it slowly in the future." ”

"No!" Lesmio shook his head and insisted, "Your Excellency, please take a look." ”

The light of Luo Lan's eyes pierced Lesmio like cold lightning, but the latter's gaze calmly met it, and said again: "Please take a look." ”

Luo Lan frowned slightly, he finally reached out and took it in his hand, and opened it to look at it, as the contents of it were revealed one by one, he gradually revealed a complicated look.

After a while, he slowly put down the parchment roll, muttered for a while, nodded, and said, "This is ......"

Lesmio took a step back and nodded, "It was written by His Majesty the Pope himself." ”

Luo Lan pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I need to think about it." ”

Lesmio, who had been looking at Luo Landi's expression just now, breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and said, "This is a matter of course, if the Bishop has any objections to these conditions, you can raise them with me at any time." Luo Lan smiled deeply and said, "I won't let the priest wait for a long time." ”

"One more thing," said Lesmio, in a deep voice, "please allow me to choose a piece of land outside of the city of Northern Selen for the construction of the Seminary. ”

"What does the priest mean to start building a seminary immediately?"

"Yes," Lesmio said, nodding and smiling, "this requires the approval of the Bishop." ”

Luo Lan said with some embarrassment: "Although Bethlehem has expanded its trade recently, after all, it has only experienced a war, and the various expenditures for military affairs are too large, and there is really no spare energy to build a magnificent building. ”

Lesmio shook his head and said, "As long as the adults agree to this matter, it is fine, as for the money and craftsmen, I will prepare it myself, and I will not use one of your gold coins." ”

Luo Lan glanced at Lesmio in surprise, nodded with a smile, and said, "Since that's the case, then I have no reason to stop it." ”

"Then thank you, Bishop, for your hospitality today," Lesmeo said as if he had let go of a thought, and his tone became soothed, "Then I will not disturb your rest again, and I will take my leave." ”

After the attendant sent him out of the room, Luo Lan's face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Call Lemon over." ”

After a while, Lemon entered the study with a nervous mood.

Luo Lan was silent at first, and then said slowly: "Lemeng, is it your unauthorized order to attack their team?" Lemmon immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and said, "Mentor, I am the one who is making the assertion. ”

"Oh?" Luo Lan said lightly: "You are not an impulsive and irrational person, I want to hear your reasons." ”

Although Luo Lan was not angry, Lemon felt a heavy pressure, his body trembled, and said, "I just want these clergy from the Holy See to know who is the real ruler here in the land of Bethlehem, and interfering indiscriminately will only invite unforeseen disasters. ”

Luo Lan said coldly: "Is it just this reason?"

Lemon's body trembled, and said, "Mentor, I have always been loyal to you, and I want them to understand that you are the only light here, and no other impurities are allowed. ”

"Looks like you've been preparing for a long time. Luo Lan sneered and said, "A group of thousands of barbarians not only went deep into the hinterland of Bethlehem silently, but also accurately grasped the whereabouts of the convoy, I think this matter is probably not only you, but also many people involved, right?"

"Yes, before we learned that the emissary of the Holy See was coming, we sent a batch of grain to the barbarian tribe for them to ......" Lemmon kept breaking out in a cold sweat on his back, lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Mentor, we are only here to maintain your authority. ”

Luo Lan looked at Lemmon, waved his hand and said, "Get up, I have to say, although you have planned well, but this approach is actually very stupid, because not only does it have no effect, but it exposes your inner timidity," he waved his hand and said, "Go down, remember to tell me about such things in the future, don't make your own decisions." ”

Lemmon nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, mentor." When he exited the door, he realized that at some point, his back was already cold and sticky.

After Lemmon walked away, Luo Lan fell into deep thought, he understood that with the consolidation of his position and the increasing power, for these subordinates, as long as he ruled Beiselen for one day, then he could keep their current status and interests, in this case, of course, they did not want to see another part of the people enter Beiselen to share the fruits of their hard work, and they also knew that Luo Lan would never blame them for this matter, because their original intention was to defend his rights.

Luo Lan secretly thought that as his power gradually expanded, it was impossible to pay attention to some trivial matters one by one, and he had no energy to pay attention to them.

A cold glint gradually appeared in his eyes, it seemed that the expansion of the Doomsday Guild was imperative, and he needed to have a dark force that could control everyone's every move in his hands at any time!
