"It is clearly stipulated in the legal code that in order to ensure the purity of the temple, no person above the bishop level can marry."

"Unless the Black Stone Leader wants to become an enemy of the kingdom, there are still some rules to follow, and now we obviously haven't competed with the power of the entire kingdom."

"That's not right!" John suddenly retorted, "I know that some bishops are married. ”

Malone explained: "They were married before, and it is impossible for them to leave again after becoming bishops.

"The code doesn't say that married people can't be bishops, that thing was set at the beginning of the temple's establishment, how many years have passed, it hasn't changed, it's long outdated, and now it can be said to be full of loopholes, and it's normal to be exploited."

"Then you ......" Harvey wanted to ask Malone why he was in a hurry to make Elijah bishop in the first place, but he took it back again.

This matter is obviously Malone did a bad job, but Harvey finally has some scruples in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to ask, maybe it's better to let John ask?

"There's nothing you can't say." With a little helplessness, Ma Long sighed: "I didn't know that there was such a provision in the code at the beginning, and I was in a hurry to increase the power of the territory at that time, so I entered a dead end like this." ”

He said in a more relaxed tone: "But don't worry, I already have some eyebrows about this matter, and I think it's a few years later, I've already told Illya, it's not a problem at all!" ”

"Okay, you're sure of it anyway......"

Next, the three of them discussed some arrangements for the army as the New Year approached.

said that it was three people, but in fact, it was Malone and Harvey who were saying that John was completely redundant......

A few days before the New Year, Ma Long was running around in the territory, in the words of his previous life, inspection work.

It wasn't until the last day that I was barely busy, and I was busy with my own New Year's affairs in the castle.

The family had a happy Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and ran to the top of the castle to set off fireworks!

This thing was specially made by Marlon in the goblin village, not only for his own use, but also for sale in the city.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Lines of fire rose into the sky, bursting into dazzling light, and the dark night sky suddenly became bright.

"It's so pretty......"

"I want it too, I want it too, I want it to ......"

Salad snatched the candle from Marlon and lit it herself.

"Wow......"

The pony jumped in his father's arms, and writhed restlessly, trying to get down.

Marlon looked at the city, and there were fireworks rising into the sky everywhere, blooming dazzling sparks in the air.

Residents inside and outside the city came out of their houses one after another when they saw the light shining in the sky and the sound in their ears.

Immediately stunned by this beautiful scene, when had they ever seen such a dense fireworks!

A sense of pride in being a lord of the Blackstone Lords arose......

Some of the merchants and adventurers who came to the Blackstone Territory from the outside world stayed temporarily because of the delay in their trips, and some of them came to make war money.

I saw the flames rising into the sky, bursting open and lighting up the entire night sky, just like day.

The roar accompanied by the flickering light was deafening, and I couldn't help but feel deeply shocked, and I felt that even if I didn't come home in time for the New Year, it was worth it to see such fireworks......

This New Year was not very prosperous because of the barbarians, and because of the need to reserve supplies for the war, even the bonfires of previous years were not held.

But the fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve have given this New Year a new topic.

Until the past few days, people still talk about it from time to time......

At the end of the year, the black stone collar suddenly became busy, especially the military and logistics personnel, and their feet did not touch the ground.

Malone also went to the wall at the Grand Canyon and personally presided over the reconstruction.

If you want to attack the north and take control of the Grand Canyon, you must first open a door in the wall.

Fear stems from the unknown, and Malone built this level to guard against barbarians.

At that time, I didn't know the specific situation, so I could only think that it was as dangerous as possible, and I didn't even dare to leave the door when I built the wall.

Until I went to the north in person, and I also saw the barbarians in person, although I didn't despise it, I really didn't have fear in my heart.

Now the Black Stone Collar already has enough engineering construction personnel, with the guidance of Ma Long, an alternative construction master, and the level is not low.

A project like rebuilding a city gate that is not too big does not require Ma Long's intervention.

If he didn't even feel at ease, he was afraid that there would be a barbarian raid during the construction, he could not come.

Just as the rebuilding of the city gate was almost complete, John's wedding was approaching.

Malone thought that nothing would happen - the investigators who had just returned reported that there was no large-scale gathering of the northern barbarians for the time being......

After Steck repeatedly promised to lead people to guard the wall, Malone returned to Blackstone City.

John got married, and the most excited was his father, John Sr.

Although there is no saying in this world that no queen is unfilial, it is still a happy thing that the family can pass it on.

In particular, John's current situation is very good, and it can be said that he has won the trust of the lord.

Not surprisingly, being canonized as a knight in the future is almost a sure thing, and there is always a need for an heir.

Although I'm still married, and it's still early to have a child or something, it's always a good start.

Marlon returned to Black Rock City and also gave his own gift - the blood of the Barbarian King.

"What is this?" John took the test tube handed by Malone and looked at it curiously.

"The things obtained by Northern Xinjiang can increase strength, which can be regarded as a wedding gift for you."

"Why don't you use it?" John asked, looking at Malone.

Shrugging, Malone replied, "I've used it, this one doesn't work anymore." ”

John hesitated, "There won't be any strange side effects, right?" ”

Ma Long glanced at him, and said angrily: "If you really want to have a bad effect, I will give it to you?" Don't want to pay me back! ”

"Hey...... I'll just ask. "By the way, how do you use this thing?"

"Just drink?"

John no longer hesitated, he knew that Malone could not harm himself.

Pull the plug and pour the liquid from the tube into your mouth.

"How's it going, how do you feel?" Ma Long asked with some curiosity, he was not worried about the quality of the things produced by the panel.

He was just curious if John would roll around in pain like himself, or if he would have nothing to do with it like a little sister.

"You don't feel anything, do you?" John was also curious, didn't he say that it could increase strength?

He first looked down at himself, there was really no change, and then he looked up at Ma Long, and said with some doubts: "Where did you get the things, were you deceived?" ”

"Impossible!" Malone shook his head to deny John's speculation, knowing that this is a panel production, Malone doesn't believe that there will be a problem.

He reassured, "You're waiting, maybe the effect is coming slowly." ”

John spread his hands indifferently and said to Ma Long: "Okay, I didn't have much hope, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" Drink something to improve your ...... Hum...... It's so hot......"
