Chapter 403: Meng Ji Yu Bird, Two Clans (23)
The small town of Taluse was in good order, the church was being built, and the faithful became more faithful day and night as they were nurtured by the teachings, and because of the arrival of Smoker and Martin, the miners were no longer sick from exertion, but there was no way to heal them.
On the other side of the hill is another town called Melas, where the owner of the town of Talus, the Knight of Max, lives.
Because everyone worked in the mines, it was only a month before the church came to the town of Talus to build a church and became known to the knights of Max.
He didn't take it seriously at first. Mount Talus, close to the Taks Mountains, was already on the edge of the kingdom, and he had invited himself to be a small landowner here because it was remote and would not be subject to too much control by the kingdom and the church.
When he arrived here, he found that he had never even heard of the church, and he was even more satisfied—since the church did not even have a church here, it meant that there was no need to pay the church's church tax here.
He could put this part of the tax in the kingdom's poll tax, and the rich went directly into his own pocket.
In the past, there were no missionaries who wanted to make a career here, but unfortunately the villagers here did not respect religion at all, and only absolute power could subdue them.
The average missionary will not receive the true preaching of the church, and the knights of the Inquisition will not be able to preach in such a remote country.
So all this time, Max Knight was not worried at all. He thought that this time the missionaries would be like the previous ones, and they would not come for more than two days, and they would naturally leave if they could not stand the ignorance and arrogance of the villagers.
So, while he was in his castle sipping wine and leisurely looking at the distant mountains, wondering whether he should go hunting in the forest, his butler knocked on the door of his study.
"Knight."
Even though Max had his back to him, the butler bowed very politely.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Max was actually a little impatient, he only had three small towns under his jurisdiction, and in fact, the so-called town affairs were just some trivial things:
For example, whose cattle are too old and want to buy a new one; or whose family's wedding and funeral want to be condoled; Or whose son was naughty and broke his leg......
It's just that this housekeeper also reported these things to him in every detail, and these things were solved directly, isn't it? Delay his mood to enjoy the scenery and hunt!
So when he opened his mouth, his tone was full of impatience. But the butler, as if he didn't understand the impatience in his words, still spoke in an orderly manner:
"My lord, Jos, the head of the miners in the town, has just said that the miners of Talus have been hearing a lot about the progress of the construction of the church in their town, and the situation of the people who have come from the two churches......"
"Alright, alright! Isn't it the one sent by the church to preach? Over the years, there have been fewer missionaries? Which one do you think has built a decent church? ”
Before the butler could finish speaking, Knight Max interrupted him impatiently, and at the same time turned around, his brown hair was properly trimmed, but with the double chin that had been pampered for many years, it looked a little nondescript.
"That's it?"
The butler was interrupted by his own master, and sighed inwardly, can't he wait for him to finish? However, he did not know how to read words and feelings, and served the knight of Max for many years, and his questioning showed that he was on the verge of anger.
"The knight said some time ago that he was going to go on a safari, and the old servant has already prepared his horses and retinue, I don't know when the lord plans to set off?"
