Chapter Ninety-Three: Changing the Sky (I)
On the morning of Lotta, Mien looked out the window at the blue sky where not even a trace of white clouds could be seen, and cursed secretly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the beginning of summer, it has not rained for half a month, and this damn ghost weather makes Mien miss the mechanical creation of his previous life very much, cold beer with air conditioning, God, that is simply the most enjoyable thing in life!
Unlike now, except for the fan in your hand and the cold water on the table, which can provide a little coolness, even the air is hot and unacceptable!
And Vader, the little snake, is a cold-blooded animal, and while Mien is about to melt in the study, the little one sits under the sun and enjoys the warm sunshine.
As if he didn't feel all the heat, Loren stood behind Meen, closing his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
Looking at the papers on the table, this weather, Lord Meen was not in the mood to pay attention to these things at all, and nine out of ten of these documents were asking for money.
It takes money to expand church schools, it takes money to build new churches, it takes money to work for the clergy who work for the church...
Meen sometimes wants to crumple the paper and stuff it in those people's mouths!
But this also exposes a problem, just relying on the donations of believers and the financial subsidies of Lotta is far from enough, besides, the purchase of some equipment and horses for those Holy Knight reserves a few days ago is enough to spend hundreds of gold coins, the Holy Light is above, Lord Mien is not a money-making machine!
Wait!Money machine...
After pondering for a while, it seems that the church still needs some property to support it financially, and relying only on donations and financial subsidies is a drop in the bucket.
If you want to vigorously develop the guardian power of the church in the future, it is inevitable that you will need a lot of money.
Maybe try to incorporate some minerals into the name of the church, or secretly develop a large business group or two...
Mien, who was already hot enough to melt, after thinking about these questions, an inexplicable sense of anxiety made him now just want to find a place to cool off!
But at this time, the door of Mien's study was pushed open by someone, and Mien, who was looking down at something, didn't raise his head, "Monroe, didn't I tell you, unless the sky falls, don't bother me with other trivial things." ”
"Teach... Your Excellency, it is me. ”
Moran's originally indifferent face was covered with beads of sweat, and he gasped for breath.
Mien raised his head and saw Moran's panicked look, and he felt bad in his heart, hell! It would definitely not be a good thing to make Moran, who had always been calm, panic like this!
Dropping the pen on the table, Meen crossed his hands together and smiled, "Your Excellency Moran, what is there to be so worried about. ”
Moran closed the door and glanced at Loren before he could speak.
"Whatever your Excellency Moran has to say, Loren is not an outsider. ”
Of course, there is still a lot of trust in Loren Mine.
Moran took a deep breath, his originally indifferent face was extremely solemn, and handed a piece of letterhead to Mine, "This is a secret letter from Priest Valen from Velva. ”
I don't know if it was because of the heat, or if the messenger was an unsophisticated fellow, but the secret letter looked shabby and even had some hardened tawny on the corner of the letter.
Mien frowned slightly, lightly touched the dried blood, and opened the envelope, the content of the secret letter was very brief, but Mien's face changed greatly after reading it!
Squinting slightly, Mien looked at Moran with a gloomy face, "What about the person who delivered the letter?"
Moran was silent for a moment, his voice low, "Although I have sent people to treat them with all my might, but..."
Moran was a little afraid to look directly into Mine's eyes, although calm, Moran could feel the anger in the heart of His Excellency the Pope.
"Who else knows about this?"
"It's just me and you. ”
The fall of Huelva overnight, the house arrest of the Golans, the destruction of the church, and the hanging of all believers in public display are simply a great shame since the establishment of the church!
And the culprit is Leverin! the barbarians from the east!
But blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way.
Not long after Moran arrived in the study, there was another knock on the door, this time Monroe's voice.
"Is Your Excellency the Pope there? A priest named Reggie is looking for you. ”
Isn't he supposed to be in Black Rock with Frankie?
"Let him in. ”
I haven't seen him for half a year, compared to the shrinkage when we first met, Reggie is now full of confidence, even in the face of Mine, this young man is neither humble nor arrogant, and his identity as an evangelist for half a year has made him taste the sweetness.
Reggie walked into the study and saluted Mine and Moran, then took out a piece of letterhead from the backpack he was carrying and handed it to Mine, "This is the secret letter that Your Excellency Xinger asked me to pass on to you. ”
It was another secret letter, and Meen motioned for Monroe to go out, close the door, and take the letter out.
The content of the letter was also very brief, and after reading it, Mien took a deep breath to calm his mind, and handed the letter to Moran, "What is your good opinion about this?" ”
Holding back the desire to scold, Mien behaved calmly, but his gloomy face made Reggie, who had just come in and didn't understand the situation, feel a pang in his heart, and bowed his head slightly, looking at the faces of the two big men cautiously.
But unsurprisingly, the faces of both men were extremely ugly.
Moran read the contents of the letter and said in a serious tone, "Your Excellency, this is a provocation to you and the Church, and to the Holy Light, we should start a holy war!
Holy war!
Reggie was suddenly shocked! Could it be that someone was going to wage war against the church?
"I'll think about it carefully," said Meen, "and now prepare the carriage for a trip to Medester Castle." ”
Although Samier is now the lord of Lota, she is the first Holy Knight within the church and will be the leader of the future Holy Kearners, so Moran is not surprised by Mine's decision.
The core power of the church is now almost entirely in these two men.
"Also, don't get the news from Priest Valen for the time being, as for Frankie... When the situation is clear, I will inform him personally. ”
Moran nodded, burned the two credit candles, and went out to tell Monroe to prepare the carriage for Mien.
Mien sorted out the papers on the table and left the study, and Loren followed Mien out of the study.
Reggie was completely ignored by these two big men from beginning to end, but Reggie was not embarrassed in the slightest, as smart as he had already vaguely guessed something.
It wasn't until Loren passed by him that Reggie called out to the boy, but before he could speak, Loren just glanced at him and whispered, "War is coming." ”
Reggie glanced at the young man's emotionless eyes, and at the same time, he felt more and more frightened, and felt more and more that he had not returned to Lotta for most of the year, and the church here was very different from before.
And Loren's cold words made Reggie stand in place, with a chill down his spine.
War....
Mien got into the carriage, his face was gloomy and about to drip water, and he was still thinking about the secret letter that Frankie had written to himself, and that there were people near Black Rock City who spread rumors that the church was a cult, and that some of the churchgoers were killed in the street, or that there were 'believers' who were doing something unsightly in the street...
Such a means... It seems that someone wants to target the church.
Moreover, Leverin ignored the alliance treaty and captured Huelva overnight, and if you think about the appearance of the old Houthi at the meeting, it seems that someone wants to use Leverin as a cover to seek a high position.
Speaking of Leville, Mean seemed to remember that there was a young man with the same surname Leverin in Lotta, and it seemed necessary to pull something real out of his mouth.
Even Mien didn't expect that kid to be able to hide from the world, and he was deceived by him for the second time in the dungeon half a year ago!
But for this kind of dishonest guy, Mistress Minn has the means to make him honest!
