"He's always been like that. Looking at the back of Xilan's departure, Archbishop Lange sighed and said, "Obviously, my method can maximize the benefits. ”

"He is more suitable to be a legion commander than an archbishop, and fighting in the army is his forte. Jon spoke up, "I really don't know why His Majesty the Pope put the command of the Crusaders and Paladins in his hands, there is a more suitable candidate." ”

"Speaking of which, have you visited Your Majesty recently?" Lan Ge had a worried look on his face, "Is Your Majesty's health showing any signs of improvement? The Bishop's Conference is not presided over by his old man, and now it is all a lecture meeting for Xi Lan, he can't listen to other people's opinions at all, if it continues like this, I'm afraid our plans will be disrupted by him." ”

Jon shook his head, remembering the last time he met the Pope, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Majesty's condition has deteriorated again, and I can feel the almost depleted vitality in Your Majesty's body. ”

Lan Ge frowned tightly, "Without His Majesty the Pope, who can suppress Xilan? The other two temples of the Three Temples are almost finished, and the Temple of Judgment is almost the spokesperson of the Holy See, if Your Majesty continues to ignore it, I am afraid that it will not be long before we will become vassals of the Temple of Judgment." ”

"It's too early to say this, Xilan just does things in a straightforward way," Jon curled the corners of his mouth: "I don't think about gains and losses, I only think about the set of justice in my heart, if the Holy See is really ruled by him, I'm afraid that all the nobles in the world will leave us, and then the Holy See will become an empty shell, and it will fall down when you touch it!"

"The privileges granted by the papacy to the nobles are the result of careful consideration by generations of popes," Lang stroked his beard, "and only then will they willingly support us in order to maintain their rule and power." ”

"If you don't give the nobles a chance to atone for their sins, execute them in front of all the inhabitants of the entire city, and I'm afraid that the news will cause a shock in the aristocratic circles of the entire continent. Jon yawned, "Inform our people to get rid of those nobles before Xilan reaches the Void Ancestor!"

"At least this will prevent Archbishop Xilan from exacerbating our previous conflicts with the nobles. ”

"That's what I'm thinking about," Rang nodded, and suddenly said as if he remembered something, "there's a question......

"Huh?" Jon said, "That guy isn't here, you can ask with confidence." ”

"You just said that His Majesty's health is deteriorating day by day, and even you can feel the almost exhausted vitality...... I wonder who will sit in the seat if His Majesty returns to the sea of stars one day in the future? Until now, His Majesty has not appointed an heir, but according to tradition, the successor will be chosen from among our three archbishops, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" asked Langer with a smirk.

Jon chuckled inwardly.

But he quickly returned to normal.

"Naturally, there is a holy judgment of His Holiness the Pope in this matter, and it is useless for us to guess. Jon's expression was very calm: "And I'm very old, even older than His Holiness the Pope, for me now, staying in this position and going further, there is no difference." ”

......

Maddie wears a wet coarse cloth over her face to prevent dust from being inhaled into her lungs through her nose, and most of her fellow mine-workers actually use this method to filter the dust that flutters in the sky, and she feels very lucky to watch her companions carry baskets of ore out of the hole.

Ever since the Lord sent this strangely shaped big guy with four iron wheels to the mine a few days ago, the speed of delivery has increased considerably.

After a few simple exercises, Maddie mastered the way the big guy operated, and thanks to his own talent, he soon became the only locomotive driver in the mine.

Now his daily job is to travel back and forth to the major mining areas, loading the mined ore into trucks and transporting it to the warehouse for sorting.

In the past, dozens of trucks were needed to carry the ore mined in five mines in a day, but now Maddie can drive a locomotive with a huge cargo compartment to cover half of the total ore.

It's just a little busier.

Needless to say, this must be the latest invention of the lord.

Just need to start with the crank handle, lightly press the pedal, this big guy will roar, burst out dozens of times stronger than the horse's strength, pull a few heavy ore at a time at no pressure at all, even if the wheel is stuck in a pothole, you only need to step the pedal deeper, the uneven tread of the wheel will forcefully grab the ground, pull the vehicle out of the pothole.

As the lord said, it is extremely capable of off-roading.

But every once in a while, Maddie would add some fuel to the inside of the big one, "Is this its food? It's a big appetite, and it's going to fill a bucket at a time." ”

But its strength is also undoubted, Maddie once did an experiment out of curiosity, more than twenty strong miners tied to its tail with ropes, dragged in the opposite direction, when the accelerator pedal was pressed to the bottom, it let out a terrifying roar, more than twenty miners could not stop it for even a second, and it was dragged around.

Manpower was completely defeated by this steel machine.

And to make a similar machine can not even be used up for half a month, Maddie has a hunch that in the near future, these machines will replace manual labor to complete all the work, so that there is no need to be tired and busy, only need to spend some brains, to learn the operation of these machines.

Compared to the level of fatigue in the past, this is many times easier.

Maddie thought and grinned slowly.

"Hey, come here and load the truck!" a worker at the entrance of the mine shouted at Maddie as he stood under the conveyor belt.

Maddie recognized him, the guy called Knife and Sickle, who was the first group of people to be selected to operate the mining machinery, and Maddie still remembered that she had envied him for a long time because of that easy job, but now she has also been reborn and transformed into an advanced one.

Maddie responded, tapping the pedals, turning the steering disc to the right, and the front of the car dragged the body while turning.

But when he turned the steering wheel, the afterglow suddenly swept to the opposite hill, where a dozen guys in worn-out strange uniforms stood.

One of them raised his longbow and pointed it at the miner below.
