144.Sunday (4)
The wrath of the Holy Knights, the cardinal of the Holy City, was reluctant to try it, but he saw that the saints would not get angry at the sacrament on Sunday.
"Yuri, come here!" Saruman beckoned to Yuri gently.
Qualified to be saints are alongside the great men of Hippocity and the nobles of the shores of the Endless Ocean, who have become accustomed to the conflict between the Church and the Academy of Arius. However, Saruman still made these people sweat when he was dealing with the saints on such an important occasion, and St. Thomas's temper was too good, and in the early years in the taverns of Rome, he once threw the drunkard into the rainy street.
Yuri ran over with a fart, a little confused with excitement. He was in a trance, the cardinal priests of Rome in the holy city, the decision-makers of all the cardinals of the church, such a big man, even when he went to Rome, it was impossible to see him. Now it's actually by his side, talking to him.
"Add a place here!" said Saruman to the waiter.
The long table for the sacrament is of brand new white oak and covered with a white linen tablecloth. The tall candlesticks illuminate the long table as if it were daytime. "Yuri, is Yuri the dishonest right?" said Saruman, "are you right to agree to a lady's request for repentance?"
Yuri's face flushed, he hadn't thought Saruman would know so much about him, especially the sad thing in his mind. "No, Your Excellency, that's not the case!" Yuri stammered. He was now eager to change Saruman's impression, so that he would no longer have a slim hope of leaving the Ashfurnace Village, and returning to the Holy City was just a matter of Saruman's words, and the red-clothed priest had this right.
"Yes, young man, what everyone knows may not be the truth of the matter, but the Holy Father naturally has his plan, right?"
Saruman smiled and took Yuri's eagerness in his eyes. "If it weren't for this, how could you come to Ashfurnace Village to be a priest, and if you weren't here, you wouldn't be friends with His Highness Merlin. So, it's all the best arrangement. ”
"Yes, yes. The obsession in Yuri's heart, the desire to leave the Ashfurnace Village, to leave this ghost place, was like a balloon that had been pinned out of a hole and burst with a bang. "Why should I leave Ashhearth, why should I leave Merlin. I'm fine with that. ”
"Yes, it's the best arrangement. Yuri wasn't sure if it was the Father's arrangement, but he believed Merlin would have the best arrangement. Now that the church sees that the ashburgh will be an important place, I am afraid that many people will want to get a foot in it.
Saruman pulled Yuri to sit on his other side, "Life under the stars is the same for the Holy Father, these are his children, do you believe me?"
Yuri nodded.
"Son, from now on you are the bishop of the diocese of Ashhearth, and you will be clothed in white robes. ”
Yuri couldn't believe his ears, "But there's only one priest in Ashhearth?"
"Naturally, the Holy Father will have the best arrangement, and you and Merlin have become friends, and he can write such a beautiful manuscript, it must be the arrangement of the Holy Father. The canon of the church also needs to be replaced. This kind of thing is ahead of the curve, and we can't afford to lag behind. ”
Merlin wanted to object, but when he thought of those delicious caviars, the saliva in his mouth couldn't stop secreting, "I've already copied the book for the big guy here, there's no reason for the big guy here to refuse." I can't afford to offend either side. ”
Lord Saint snorted, he knew that this day would come when Merlin refused to join Arius Academy. The manuscripts of these monuments are said to have been written by the Holy Father himself, and it was very difficult for the Arius Academy to monopolize them.
The white bread of the sacrament is a bit hard and a little stuffy to chew. The Lord Saint personally buttered Merlin, and Saruman ordered a few sparkling caviar on Merlin's bread. The salty touch exploded in Merlin's mouth. It's not the best food in the minds of the goths, and it didn't disappoint Merlin. An ancient memory seems to have awakened.
"This is the caviar of the sturgeon, which could not be bought with money in Rome, and only the man known as the Hand of the Sea God could find the sturgeon, who sent a jar of caviar to the monastery of the city of Rome every year. ”
Power is naturally a good thing, and Merlin understood it early on. Whether in empires or in the Endless Ocean, power brings money, and power brings beauty.
The so-called fairness is all used by these people to deceive people, and Merlin knows that there is never such a thing as fairness. Just like now, Augustine didn't have the opportunity to sit next to the saints and taste this delicious caviar.
"Saruman has good things, that's something that everyone under the stars knows, but the Arius Academy also has good things, and you shouldn't look down on people. Thomas took out an emerald green bamboo tube, and with a light touch of the knife, a small hole appeared in the joint.
"I don't drink, don't you know?" Saruman's face was a little ugly.
"It's not wine, it's the fountain of life!" Thomas said mysteriously, pouring only half a glass for Saruman before filling the glass in front of him.
"You see, this guy is so stingy, he doesn't have your share in the good stuff. Saruman didn't forget his old rival at this time, but he was doomed to be disappointed, Merlin looked at the old man with a calm face, and consciously did not participate in this fight.
"Haha," Thomas laughed, "it's not that I'm stingy, it's really that I'm stingy." ”
Saruman drained half of the glass in one gulp, "Good wine." He exhaled a fruity puff of wine. "Hey, there is actually the breath of water of life in it, although the content is very low, but it is the real water of life. ”
"Even if you old guy still have a bit of vision, why am I a good thing?" Thomas smirked.
"Of course it's good, but it's just too stingy, only half a glass. Saruman shook his head and sighed, "Merlin, you see that the people of Arius House are so stingy. You should be more careful in the future and don't be deceived by them. ”
"Old thing, who just said not to drink?" Thomas was furious, "If it weren't for the old friend's face, there would be no two half glasses, but you don't know, this good thing is not from Arius Academy, this fountain of life belongs to the Ashfurnace Castle, and belongs to Lord Merlin." ”
"The fountain of life contains the water of life, which has a life-saving effect on wounded knights. ”
