Chapter 404: Secretary-General
In Lidney, as a member of the College of Cardinals and appointed Secretary-General by Mine, Theodore sat in his dedicated office, and his originally fat body had lost a lot of weight because of his sad face all day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not to mention anything else, Enomosen's side is still looking for excuses for the deaths of thirteen missionaries, and pushing back and forth for the Holy See to intervene in the investigation.
The Pope left him alone, and then got into the carriage and headed north.
Theodore wants to stay away from these damn papers!
Originally, the attitude of the royal family has always been tough, but after such a long time, gradually the one doesn't like to care about this matter.
If these things are just inconsequential things, then in Ghana, the caravan of the Albizi family, which has been 'secretly' seized to this day, is simply a big trouble!
Not only is it troublesome, but it's also tricky!
Although the Albizi family has repeatedly come to negotiate, and even verbally promised to reduce the financial support for the Scorching Sun royal family, the Pope is still vague about this, and the royal family is also simply, as if they don't know that there is such a thing!
After so many years in politics, Theodore seems to have determined in his heart that the black cauldron of the 'private seizure' of the Albizi family's caravan will be carried by him!
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and they have to be hard-headed.
Seeing a whole box of gold coins in his office, Theodore suddenly became a little frenzied, threw his cup directly on the ground, and roared at the comer, "Are you blaspheming my faith in the Light?
"And don't doubt my ability and determination!"
"Get out of here now!"
Coming to bribe Theodore, the mustachioed envoy from the Duchy of Albizi had a dry smile on his face, but he was already scolding in his heart!
Damn the Scorching Sun royal family! He did a good job and asked us to wipe his ass!
And such a clumsy excuse, only a fool would believe it!
The Holy See made it clear that the royal family of Ainomosen would not give them an explanation, and Albizi, the golden trade route to the north, would not be able to do it!
It can be said that the current Albizi family is caught between the Northern See and the Ainomosen royal family, and it is neither advancing nor retreating.
Quickly let someone carry the box out, even if the scolded dog was bloody, the mustachioed envoy still smiled, "Your Excellency, you are angry, I will come to you another day." ”
You must know that the Northern See is not like those Tubaozi sects in the south, Albizi once tried to send someone to secretly rescue them, but the result was that the dead soldiers were sent out a week later, all of them were like stones in the sea, and there was no news.
After another week, all those they sent out were deported by the Holy See.
And everyone was cut off the little thumb of their right hand as a warning!
At this point, the idea of Albizi using force was completely stillborn.
Watching the mustachioed man leave his room, Theodore put away his tense face, and the box of gold coins just now was three thousand!
Although the duck in his mouth was gone, Theodore did not feel pity, and he did not dare to accept bribes openly after seeing the purge list once.
And besides, the pink-haired 'crazy woman' kept an eye on her......
Even anything worth more than a gold coin, Theodore had to weigh it in his heart when he took it.
Sorting out the documents that needed to be signed by Mean, Theodore rang the bell on the left side of the table, and in a few moments, the red-haired girl walked into Theodore's room.
"Domina, have these documents sent to the 'Elwyn Line', they need to be signed by the Pope himself. ”
The latter took the paper, bowed his head slightly and left.
Leaning back in his chair, Theodore let out a long breath, but he had just lazy his waist when a man he least wanted to see pushed open the door and walked in.
Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, Lucia Holy Inquisition.
Dressed in plain white clothes, Lucia threw a report on Theodore's desk, and said lightly, "This is the report that has just been sent back from the south, I have read it aside, and I can preliminarily determine that among the thirteen missionaries who died, not only the shadow of the Vulcan Sect, but also the Scorching Sun royal family was also implicated." ”
Facing the Archbishop of Sunnah, who had secretly assassinated her, Lucia did not have a good face, "Recently, the number of mysteries in the Enomosen Kingdom has also increased rapidly, and the number has exceeded ......a thousand since the statistics of a month ago."
With a slight pause, "I hope you can convey this information to the Pope in its entirety, not to embellish it. ”
The voice was cold, and even the word 'embellishment' was deliberately emphasized.
Theodore is naturally not a soft persimmon to be manipulated, the past is always the past, and in his heart Theodore is also very happy to see Lucia's hostility towards him, at least he will not let the adult worry that he has too much authority in the Holy See.
Snorted coldly, looking at Lucia expressionlessly, "I hope you don't forget your identity, Your Excellency the Grand Judge, I haven't had your turn to accuse." ”
...
At this time, Mien was standing in the 'Alwyn Fortress', which had just begun to be built and the wall was less than two meters high, Merlin was holding the blueprints in his hand, followed by three or four officials in charge of construction, standing beside Meen and starting to give a special lecture.
Not only does he know how to draw, in addition to what a mysterious person should do, the architectural Merlin is also deeply studied, and his attainments are no longer even under his painting skills!
Listening to a lot of jargon Merlin had said to him, Meen patted Merlin on the shoulder and smiled, "I'm more concerned about whether the walls of this fortress can withstand the impact than that." ”
Although Mien would love to cast the fortress in reinforced concrete, considering the technical limitations, even Mien himself was only half-aware and had to give up.
However, Merlin will draw magic circles with Mithril in some of the key load-bearing parts of these boulder walls, which has been used to make them even stronger.
That is, the technology is not enough, and the magic comes to make it, at least this will be several times stronger than the ordinary masonry structure!
Accompanied by Merlin and the person in charge of the place, Meen briefly looked around, and in addition to the slow and slow construction period, Mien felt that this fortress that had been built at a great cost should be able to be used in the future.
In addition to checking the progress and quality of the construction of the fortress, Mien also went to check on the former black bishops who had been sent here by himself to work and reform.
More than half a year of manual labor has made these greedy people who were originally full of fat stomachs sober up a lot at this moment.
It was already night, and after the purpose of his visit, Mien would see the construction of the fortress again tomorrow morning, and at noon he would be ready to return to Lidney.
