Since it was a festival day, many believers in the gods of protection and justice had already gathered here, and the square was not too wide, and it was crowded with people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The location of the temple of the Church of Guardianship and Justice is okay, but it is not the best.
And this was a wonderful plot for the merchants, and it caused dissatisfaction among the believers of those churches.
After all, in the eyes of those priests, it was natural for them to dedicate the best and greatest land to their great gods, and there should be no charge yet.
For these people, as long as they are nobles with brains, they will not agree.
Even if you don't want to protect and righteous churches, others will want it.
"Is it finally here?"
Fira exhaled softly, her slender fingers rubbing her face, and the indifference on her handsome face was replaced by a sunny and gentle smile, and at the same time, a hidden fluctuation spread.
"Master."
Celina stepped out of the carriage and guided him out of the carriage.
"Lord Fira!"
"Are you also coming to the festival?"
The few people who knew him gathered around and greeted Fira.
Although many of them were older than him, they all greeted him with smiles on their faces.
After all, he has a rank like "High Mage".
For such a thing, Phila did not have any pressure at all, and there was no rudeness in terms of etiquette.
What is presented on the outside is the most perfect aristocratic image, and if there is no accident, it will be unanimously praised by outsiders.
It's like Viscount Shedman, the "noble man of the Cross".
And as the price of presenting a perfect image, Fira's facial muscles stiffened after the tedious greeting etiquette ended, and this feeling made him pull the corners of his mouth.
Silina rubbed it gently for him.
Fira smiled at her, and then continued to sigh in her heart:
"No matter how troublesome it is, no matter how similar it is, you still have to do it, the nobles are the ones who want to die and suffer the crime......"
The evaluation she had heard before sounded, and the corners of Fira's stiff and smiling mouth drew a subtle arc.
Amid the inexplicable sighs of the people around her, Fira entered the grand temple.
Then, he said a few words to the resolute priest, "Praise be to my lord," and then looked at the pastor's face as if he had a smile on his face, and put down the gift he had brought.
I have to say that this Renekton temple is still quite well arranged, both from the perspective of ornamentation and confusion.
In Filana's hidden perception, it can be found that among the statues of the holy shield that are everywhere, there is a kind of "holy" atmosphere. It can make the worshippers who pray in this temple quiet and fanatical.
To put it simply, these guys will become more and more faithful.
After waiting for the smiling priest to finish his prayer in the main hall of the temple, Phila finally met the Bishop Sodley under his guidance.
"Your Excellency Fira, I thought you didn't have time to attend!"
As soon as Sodley spoke, he spoke very bluntly, and his expression was full of sincerity.
"Yes, Bishop, I seem to be in some trouble......"
However, looking at the other party's attitude, Fira knew from the bottom of his heart that if he hadn't come, this Sodley would definitely take advantage of this incident to knock the Coronsa family again, as he had guessed before.
Although there are no plans to actually replace the Coronsa family, however, it is estimated that it is about the same.
If the Corensa family is still the same as before, then, basically, the Corensa family can only give up some interests in exchange for the help of the other party.
After all, the old Viscount of Corensa had done the same thing, so it wasn't something unspeakable.
Seeing the performance of the other party, Bishop Sodley also nodded secretly in his heart, this plan was very successful, as long as he could take advantage of the situation to control this area, he could be closer to the position of the regional bishop.
Although Fira is not yet the orthodox heir of the Corensa family, with the help of the church, the other party will definitely be able to become the next Viscount of Corenza, and when the time comes, his promise must also be fulfilled, which is a divine witness to the promise of the church.
"It seems that this Phila is also very discerning! Then, I told him about it, and I had to let him help with this. β
Sodley thought about something in his heart, and then looked at the young man in front of him: "Fira, do you know Duke Samael?" β
Although it is a question sentence, it uses an affirmative tone.
Because, Duke Samael, is one of the several great nobles of the Kingdom of Loland.
"Duke Samael? Of course I do. There was something inexplicable strange in Fira's voice, after something, of course, he knew a lot about this Duke of Samael, and in the Kingdom of Lorraine, whether it was a small nobleman at the bottom or other nobles at the top, it was impossible not to understand the meaning of this "Samael" represented.
Those who have not heard of the deeds of this duke, let alone not.
"I'm going to talk about Shulan. Sammael. Bishop Sodley blinked.
"I remember that this Excellency was just canonized to the title of Earl last month, did he send someone to Coronsa to receive it?"
It would have been normal not to have heard of this Shulan, and his father, any Loran person, must have heard of his name.
"Is there a chance I can do anything to help that Excellency?"
Fila looked "expectant" and looked at the face of Bishop Sodley in front of her with some nervousness.
The other man nodded.
"Count Shuran! The son of the Grand Duke! Fila gasped for air very "normally".
And he was indeed a little surprised in his heart, although he knew that this time the matter would not be too simple, but he did not expect that it would be so coincidental and would be related to the existence of the "Samael" family again.
"Maybe you can say ...... Destined? β
Fira sneered in her heart.
And on his face, there was still a look of "anticipation" and "nervousness".
After all, if it is the successor of a noble who does not even have the title of viscount, the expectation is certain, and there is nothing abnormal about being nervous.
As for Shu Lan coming here, it is not certain whether he will attack them.
You must know that among the aristocracy, there has never been a monolith, and the power struggle between the local and central nobles, the resistance and compromise between the small nobles and the big nobles, has never stopped for a moment.
It is only when they face the threat of theocracy and the invasion of demons that they have a chance to unite.
And once the pressure from the outside world decreases, competing for each other's interests becomes their instinct again.
That is...... Dogs can't change that.
And as the heir of a great nobleman, the desire for power is also inevitable, just like the central nobles and local nobles of the kingdom.
One wants to develop, the other wants to preserve.
And if Shulan comes here, it is estimated that there are two situations.
1. Something else is planned.
Second, it is a plot about the meaning of the surname Viscount Colensa.
Yes, the Earl of Shuran is now an adult, but he still has a contender, though only a second son, and if it is a pair of brothers who believe in love, it may be that they hope to secure a fief for him......
If not.
"So ......."
Bishop Sodley stopped talking at this, and the rest seemed to be for Fira to guess.
"That's what happened!" Fira seemed to understand something, and nodded rather heavily.
In her heart, however, Fila wanted to scold the bishop for his stupidity.
Isn't it just mixed with the struggle within the kingdom? What's so mysterious about it?
Fira recalled some information, some information about this unrest.
As for the Duke of Samael, although they are the rulers of the entire Samael Territory, a region the size of a kingdom, they cannot own all the land.
Like the kingdom, Samael's territory has gone through generations of feudalism and the rise of other minor nobles, but only a small part of these things now belong directly to the surname Samael.
Up to now, just like the kingdom of Misola, almost all the large and small territories have been divided by the small nobles, and even the so-called princess and prince and other characters, if they don't win the favor of the king, maybe they can't even find a hereditary title.
In the end, he could only hang around in the name of a court earl or marquis, and even had a few dilapidated manors and a few pairs of knights in his hands.
And the Earl of Shuran, as far as Fila knows, as the eldest son of this generation of dukes, still reaped a lot of benefits, and the fief of his earl title is the richest territory in the Dukedom of Samael.
"I guess it's not trying to take the Colensa Territory, right?"
Fira thought about the areas that the other party owned, and when combined, the area and strength would far exceed that of the Colensa territory.
Even, compared to here, the benefits there are still other, which is very good.
To put it bluntly, even the Colensa family's savings for ten years are just a corner of the other party's vast trade.
Now that the other party is coming, it is estimated that he just wants to let the other party start.
It's impossible to divide your own territory, so you have to look elsewhere.
And this time, it was the other party's plan, and the other party tried to set his sights on the Colensa territory to get some "extra money".
And there are many ways~ Naturally, there are many ways.
Depriving a nobleman of his territory for no reason will definitely cause an uproar in aristocratic circles.
But if all the people in this family are extinct, they will inherit the name of the other family. That's a lot easier.
The other party has the status of a grand duke and has the influence of a marquis, and he can also minimize the consequences of this incident.
A sneer appeared in Fira's heart.
If that's right, what is "about to happen" this time is something that the church has negotiated with the other party, and there are even a series of terms.
As for whether the other party is relevant?
Even if the father of the Earl of Shulan is here, he will not dare to repay his debts, and even if the counterattack is successful, he will not forget the conditions he promised before.
This kind of thing that bets on both sides and guarantees a profit no matter which side wins or loses, why not do it?
"Thank you, Your Excellency, ......"
Although I already know about it, but the other party is "well-intentioned" after all? How can you refuse?
Phila stood up and thanked her.
This meaningless information is very valuable to "Fira", and it is estimated that only some people will fully believe in these possibilities.
In fact, this is very close to what Fira has gotten, with only a few differences.
..........
Half an hour later.
"Lord Fira." Bishop Sodley smiled slightly, "It seems that there are still some evil beings wandering around recently, I hope you will be more careful!" May our Lord bless you......"
Sodley personally sent Leylin out of the Temple, whispering a whisper in Phila's ear just as he was about to step out of the temple confines.
"I see!" Fira's eyes lit up slightly, and under Sodley's deep gaze, she stepped into the carriage.
The wheels rolled, driving the body to rise and fall, and Fira yawned, closed her eyes inside the car, and her thoughts kept floating.
"It seems that the temple really knows that there are many demons nearby, but what is the reason why they can tolerate temporary coexistence with demons?"
Fila thought to herself.
In fact, if possible, he would not refuse the help of the Guardian Church.
Don't be a thug who doesn't want money.
Of course, it is not very difficult to get the help of the church, but then you must put all your territory under the control of the church of this god and dedicate all of it to the church, but such a practice will definitely be resisted by all the nobles on the mainland and regarded as "traitors" among the nobles!
But what is there about this?
For Fira, this identity is just a disguise.
As long as the value is brought into play, you can retreat with honor.
After "taking refuge" in the Church of the God of Guardianship and Justice, Fila is sure that even if any adult personally pressures them in the future, they will be greatly hindered, and even make the other party give up this move.
As for the reverse, it was obviously impossible, and even the Bishop of Sodley did not have that much power.
The cardinals of the Church did not give him the authority to do so!
More often than not, Templars, priests, priests, and the like were sent to make the House of Coronza a subordinate of the Church of God of Guardianship and Justice in the eyes of outsiders.
And while this can show support, no one will want to accept it.
What's more, from the current point of view, the other party just gave a little information, and it was not immediately harvested a bunch of treasures.
