Unmarked carriages pass through the silent streets of Muenze, and although it has been half a year since the end of the war, the city has still not recovered from the scars of the war. On both sides of the main road where the carriages traveled, most of the pyroxene street lamps were only lampholders, and the place where the bright pyroxene should have been placed was now only a black hollow. And the few street lamps that are still on are also dim, and it seems that they may go out at any time. The repeated struggle and control of the city by Ronninger and Prince Wenfeng, as well as the lack of funds for post-war recovery, made it impossible for those illuminated pyroxenes that would not otherwise be coveted to stay on the lampholders, and countless people were waiting for those pyroxene stones to exchange for food. Later, Earl Patrick, who was temporarily in charge of the city, simply abandoned the idea of restoring the road lighting and left the city dark.

"Is there something Earl Patrick is looking for me this time?"

Sitting in the carriage, Haile Scott could see through the small front window the pyroxene wind lamps hanging on both sides of the carriage, gently swaying to the rhythm of the carriage's swaying. Since leaving the position of archbishop of the Tritheistic Church and bidding farewell to the city called Rossville, he has taken a respectful and distant attitude towards politics. His Aunz religion rarely took the initiative to contact those in power, and spent most of his time spontaneously preaching among the middle and lower classes. When the congregation grew, and the congregation was about to build a church in Munze, he had to meet with Earl Patrick and obtain permission from him for the first exclusive church of the Church of Orn.

"I don't know very well, but the Count said that you should come at once, there should be something important. However, the Earl had a good face when he said this, so it should not be a bad thing. ”

The four young men who accompanied Scott were all domestic slaves of Earl Patrick, who grew up in the earl's family, and their loyalty could still be trusted. Two of them, who had become followers of the Ornism some time ago, were now talking to Scott, and among them were the earlier believers, so their attitudes were very friendly.

"I know, the Earl has mercy and has given us a lot of food, which can save hundreds of people, and I have to thank the Earl again when I see the Earl this time."

Although he didn't know what Count Patrick was looking for him, Scott had his own ideas. In any case, the last time there was a food crisis in the church, Earl Patrick was a great help. In public or private, he had no reason to refuse the earl.

The carriage jolted for a while and came to a halt outside a high-walled compound on the west side of Moonze. This courtyard was originally the mansion of the Moonze local family, the Outlets family, and later with the defeat of Ronninger and the surrender of the two adopted sons, the Outlets family was uprooted by Prince Wenfeng and supported the originally unwilling Earl Patrick to take over, and this courtyard naturally became the main residence of the Patrick family.

"Shepherd Scott, I'm glad you're here, my lord has just arrived, please come with me here to change your clothes."

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Scott looked at the man waiting at the door with some surprise. It was Count Leon Patrick, the ruler of the city. The man, who had always sat in the main hall and waited for him to go, now stood by the carriage with a humble face, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Lord Earl, why did you come here in person? Which adult came to visit and wanted you to go out to pick me up? ”

Scott also saw the world in Roseville, and when he saw the battle of Earl Patrick, he immediately realized that it was estimated that there was probably a big man who came here for himself, which made Count Patrick show such etiquette.

"We'll talk about it later, please come here with me to change clothes first."

If you need to change your clothes, it must be a member of the royal family, and the most famous royal family member in this neighborhood is Prince Wenfeng Gibson, is it him? But shouldn't he be busy stabilizing Ronninger's situation at this time? How did you have the heart to run to Moonze?

While thinking about things in a mess, Scott had already changed into clothes to meet the royal family. He followed Count Patrick through the perimeter of the courtyard, walked past the moonlit stone slabs, walked through the corridor neatly hung with small pyroxene lamps, and met Prince Wenfeng in the study on the west side of the courtyard hall.

"Here you are, sit."

Prince Wenfeng is no longer what Scott remembers, and the Battle of Roninger has made him mature and old. Seeing that it was him, Scott no longer hesitated and simply sat down neatly.

"The last time I saw you was three years ago, I really didn't expect that you would be able to let go of the power of the Tritheistic Sect and come here to start a new sect, it's really admirable."

In front of Wen Feng, Scott's identity is not a secret, not to mention that as Archbishop of Roseville, he has a good relationship with these princes. Seeing that Prince Wenfeng met and reminisced, Scott got up and saluted before he began to answer.

"The Third Great Demon Tide has subverted the foundation of the Tritheistic Sect, and they who rely on the Magic Transmission Array to preach in the mortal world cannot explain the Third Great Demon Tide at all, and the collapse of faith is almost inevitable. At that time, the Tritheistic Cult was a capsizing ship, and anyone who was on the ship and could see the future would definitely choose to leave, just like me. ”

"That's natural, I heard Leon say that the law and order of Muenze has improved a lot recently, and there have been a lot fewer mass incidents. He owes all this to your Auenke, I don't know what you think? ”

Owen taught people to be good, emphasized that believers should repay their grievances with virtue, and advocated a happy life after death. Our followers have indeed become more peaceful and patient, and this is the will of O'En that made me draft the doctrine in the first place, and I naturally dare not disobey it. ”

"Tsk-", Wen Feng smashed his mouth, obviously not used to Scott's chattering like this. He frowned, looked at Scott, and paused for two seconds before continuing.

"Archbishop Scott, you know my ...... of consistently failing theology grades"

Seeing Wen Feng say this, Scott smiled and put down his deliberately deep accent, "Your Royal Highness, I founded the Au-En Sect to guide people to goodness, hoping to reduce wars and strife. Therefore, when I drafted the doctrine according to the will of God Oo, I put the channel through which people could vent their grievances after death, so as to increase their endurance while they were alive. However, this is not the ultimate goal, this is actually a kind of penance, dieting or something, if you can overcome the desires of the heart, nature can defeat nature. ”

"Yes, I can't talk about you, let's get down to business", seeing that Scott was still playing in circles, His Royal Highness decided not to pester Scott's fake appearance anymore, "The recent fugitive slaves and trumpers have made my father very upset, even though we have taken a series of measures, but there are still people running towards Elena one after another." Moreover, if the repression is ruthless and people's hearts fluctuate, there will be some hidden instability in the local area. Now the great nobles have an idea to give certain personal rights to the serfs and stabilize the serf mentality. There were also some new aristocrats engaged in industry, hoping to abolish serfdom altogether. I'm sure you've heard all of these things, and I'm not going to go into details. My father didn't like the nouveau riche, and he wanted to find a way to stabilize the minds of the lower classes, including the serfs. I think about it, and there is still some hope for you, the Au-N Sect—"

"Want to settle worldly disputes by faith?" , Scott interrupted Prince Wenfeng halfway through listening, "Your Highness, the Auenjiao has always been far away from politics. I've been in Roseville for so long and know the consequences of being too close to politics. This is a favor—"

"Don't be too busy refusing first," Wen Feng interrupted Scott, "If you do a good job, I can make a proposal to my father and make the Au'en Religion the state religion." ”

Scott was silent, the state religion, not even the tritheistic religion in its heyday, had not received this honor. Although the Tritheistic Cult has a Grand Magister Pope, the Five Great Powers also have a Grand Magister, which is not inferior by half a point. The Tritheistic Religion can be allowed to preach in the six major countries, but it is absolutely impossible for it to become the state religion of any of the six major countries. At that time, when the Magister was still around, it was impossible for the people's faith to be handed over to the power of another Magister.

"How? If you really hope that God Ion's salvation will save the world from this catastrophe, then you should naturally accept my request to become our state religion, and to recruit believers and expand your ranks so that your teachings can be spread farther. ”

Prince Wenfeng saw Scott's hesitation, knowing that he had wavered, so he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and do a good job of persuasion. His father, Paul Gibson, did not have a good answer to his father's concerns at this stage, and he hoped to make a better impression in front of his father. Therefore, even if he has to pay a certain price, he will deceive the former archbishop in front of him to Roswell.

"You see my heart," Scott thought for a moment and smiled, "what should come will always come." If we can seize this opportunity, it will indeed be an opportunity for our Au-En Sect to grow. Prince Wenfeng, we've known each other for some years, and I won't go around the bend in front of you. May I ask Your Highness, how sure are you about the state religion? ”

"Judging from Mu Enze's situation, it shouldn't be a big problem", Wen Feng heard Scott's words, knowing that he agreed to his request, and smiled happily, "Anyway, don't worry, I can still do it by convincing my father of this matter." ”

"Then bother His Royal Highness."

Now that the decision has been made, Scott no longer hesitates. He thanked the prince and agreed on a time to return to Roseville. Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he also wants to return to the city where he has lived for a long time, to see those people again, and to listen to those voices.

"A car sold for 830,000 rams? That's enough money for me to equip a legion of soldiers! Where did these people come from to the money! Firas, you can check it out for me! ”

At the top of the Roswell Sanction Mage's Tower, Emperor Ankenrein's grown, which had been growing more and more often, rang out again. Three days earlier, on March 23, 849, the Treaty of Moon, signed by Elena and the Five Great Powers, came into force, and the Five Great Powers had received a promise from Elena not to use magic or attack other countries with their troops, and Elena received a vast market for the Five Nations. From Anken Rein to the Third Republic, from the Alonte Empire to Loren Robus, no country in the vast central continent could prevent Elena's products from entering their markets. The day after the signing of the Treaty of Moon, the long-awaited spring auction was held in Roseville, and the Red Flag steam locomotive produced by Elena was placed at the end. The starting price of this car was only 5,000 rams, but the final transaction price soared to an incredible 830,000. This price was not only surprised by the people present, but even His Majesty the Emperor lost his cool in surprise when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, these people are only secondary, and the real purpose of wanting to take the opportunity to catch up with Gastens is to get on the line. Eight hundred and thirty thousand is a lot, but compared to the friendship of an archmage, it is very cheap. ”

Prime Minister Emile Owen explained. His family also participated in that auction and naturally knew exactly how the price came about. The Hongqi steam locomotive provided by Elena is indeed very good, but it is so good that it is not worth it to buy a car for 830,000 yuan. It's just that when there is a great mage standing behind this car, everything cannot be measured by simple money.

"That so-called Great Magister thinks about how to eliminate these bourgeoisie every day, and they are good, but they are still upside down, are they really not afraid of death?"

Paul Gibson was obviously not persuaded by the emir, he walked around the same place twice, and then looked at the Royal Police Sergeant Filas Navrei who was standing aside, "Filas, you give me a good check, who bought this car, where did the money come from, find out for me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Firas nodded, his expression calm.

"Also, keep checking with me about Elena, whether Chagastens is the Grand Magus after all. As long as there is solid evidence, we immediately let him know that the world is not so easy to fool! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing about Cha Elena, Navre frowned slightly. Now Elena's anti-intermediary work is very well done, his spies can't enter the Elena's plain at all, they can only wander around the province of Enspan, so they can't collect enough information, and he is also trying to find a way to see if he can get in touch with it. It's just that Filas thinks that he knows about these complicated and trivial things, and there is no need to tell His Majesty.

“……”

Paul Gibson took two more turns before he remembered something else.

"Wait for Huiwen Summit to bring a surprise, he will let us guess, you see, what will be that kid's surprise?"

"Your Majesty's biggest concern recently is Elena's continued fugitive slavery and evasion, and Prince Wenfeng has always been steady, since he dares to say that it is a surprise, it must have something to do with fugitive slaves and evasion. His Majesty solicited solutions to the problem of fugitive slaves and evasion some time ago, and now it seems that Prince Wenfeng should have a countermeasure. ”

Emile Owen actually knew that Prince Wenfeng was coming, but since His Majesty the Emperor wanted to play, he was also willing to accompany him, so it was reasonable to speculate on the purpose of Prince Wenfeng's coming.

"Haha, love is still powerful, it's really him. Come, let's sit down and wait and see what surprises my good son has brought to his father. ”

As soon as Paul Gibson gave the order, the emile knew that he could not leave, and he went to the stool brought by the servants around him, looked out the window, and fell silent. Elena's fugitive slave and trumpant problems are very tricky, and he himself has not thought of a good solution, and he does not know what kind of answer Wen Feng will bring.

Preferably, is a useful answer.
