Chapter 331: The Church of Light
Ever since Leo had demonstrated his might to the emissaries of various countries, the so-called coalition had unwittingly vanished, and the Parisians had completely cut off their ambition to destroy Lorraine. www.biquge.info The Duchy of Pritz, guarded by Leo, became an insurmountable barrier for the Paris Empire, and in the Paris Palace, the words Leo and Pulitzer became taboo that could not be mentioned.
But to Leo's trouble, Cardinal Owen stuck it like a hot dogskin plaster, pestering Leo to constantly explain to him the doctrine of the Church of Light and the greatness of the God of Light. However, Leo could not show his irritability and disgust with the Church of Light, after all, an entire Knights of the Holy Judgment was stationed outside the city of Pritz.
"Morning, dear Archduke Leo, do you feel the sunshine and warmth bestowed upon us by the god of light? Under such sunshine, when we are closest to the god of light, feel the warm and soft sunlight sprinkled on us everywhere, the ubiquitous light will make the darkness hide, as long as you sincerely believe in the god of light, you will be bathed in light all the time. As Leo greeted the first rays of the morning sun, he was cross-legged and breathing, but the noisy preaching voice of Cardinal Owen rang in his ears.
Leo, who was almost distracted by Cardinal Owen's words, stood up a little angrily, rubbed his hair vigorously, and said to Cardinal Owen quite helplessly: "Your Majesty Owen, you are good, stop talking to me, I already have my own beliefs, and I will not convert to the God of Light." ”
Leo's words made Cardinal Owen stunned, and he reflexively wanted to ask Leo which god he believed in, but then he thought about it, Leo was a nobleman from the Varu Empire, and naturally believed in the goddess of harvest, so he didn't ask any more.
However, if he really asked, Leo was not easy to answer, did he have to tell Owen that he believed in the gods of the other world? He was fighting endlessly on the Alpha Continent in order to win the pleasure of the gods of the other world? If Leo dared to answer like this, then he would definitely be nailed to the walls of the City of Light, exposed to the scorching sun until he atoned for his sins with his own life.
Although Cardinal Owen did not continue to ask, he immediately changed his tone and said to Leo: "Then Archduke Leo, can you allow the Church of Light to build a church in Pritz City, so that the church can spread the gospel of the God of Light?"
While asking this question, Cardinal Owen stared closely into Leo's eyes, and the meaning was self-evident. If Leo did not allow the Church of Light to preach in Pritz City, then Cardinal Owen would naturally judge the Principality of Pritz as a threatening and hostile country, and would definitely not allow Leo to develop the Principality in peace.
But if Leo really nodded and allowed the establishment of the Church of Light, then the Church of Light could openly extend its tentacles into the territory of Lorraine, which was almost equivalent to Leo offending the royal family of Lorraine and the magician at the same time. Imperial power and divine power, magic and divine power, these are all irreconcilable oppositions, and Cardinal Owen's problem is almost to roast Leo on the fire, no matter how you choose, you will offend one side.
In the face of Cardinal Owen's pressing step by step, Leo quickly turned his brain, but he did not hesitate to talk nonsense to delay time: "I wonder why you have traveled thousands of miles to my small principality to preach? As far as I know, the Church of Light is far away from here, and there are many countries such as the Paris Empire, the Vinolan Kingdom, the Turaz Kingdom, and so on, why do you want to set up a church in the Principality of Pritz?"
Facing Leo's question, Cardinal Owen smiled slightly: "Dear Archduke Leo, whether it is a huge empire, a kingdom or a small principality, every country and every corner of this continent is bathed in light, it doesn't matter whether it is far or near, only whether it is pious or not. Moreover, compared with those countries with mixed beliefs, I think the new Principality of Pritz is more pure, and it is more suitable for the spread of the Church of Light. ”
I think it's the magic resources of the Dragon Mountain Range that make your Light Church feel more suitable, Leo secretly scolded in his heart, he had already thought of a solution that didn't work.
"Since the blessings of the God of Light are sprinkled all over the continent, then naturally I will not object to the establishment of a church in Pritz City by the Church of Light. Leo's words stunned Cardinal Owen, who didn't seem to expect Leo to agree so happily, but then Cardinal Owen's heart was in ecstasy.
As long as the Church of Light can establish a church in Pritz City, it will be able to reach into the resource-rich Dragon Mountains and the Lorraine Kingdom, where the magical civilization is extremely prosperous, which is of extremely important strategic importance to the Church of Light.
But before Cardinal Owen could be happy, Leo added: "But after all, the Principality of Pritz is only a small principality, so the Church of Light only allows preaching and preaching, and does not allow garrisons to garrison, and all clergy must be registered in the principality before they are allowed to preach." ”
Leo's words were like a basin of cold water that instantly woke up Cardinal Owen, and he looked at Leo with unkind eyes and threatened: "Archduke Leo, this is impossible, the Church of Light must ensure the safety of all churches, and it is necessary to maintain a certain number of guards." Even the Principality of Pritz is no exception!"
Owen's threat did not move Leo in the slightest, Leo turned around and pointed to the constantly patrolling goblin soldiers outside the Grand Duke's Mansion, which had been converted from the City Lord's Mansion, and said, "In Pritz City, you must abide by the rules of Pritz, whether it is the Church of Light or the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, the safety of the city can be guaranteed by Pritz City." No foreign troops are allowed to stay in Pritz City. If Owen is offended, then the church should not have been said!"
Leo's tough attitude made Cardinal Owen a little uncomfortable, and when he heard that Leo regretted the establishment of the church, he hurriedly said: "Since Archduke Leo has agreed to the establishment of the church, then let's do it, but if there is a real threat to the Church of Light or some other evil event, the Church of Light will also apply for assistance from the church, and when the time comes, please ask Archduke Leo to be accommodating." ”
Cardinal Owen had to relent, he was very satisfied with being able to plant a nail in Lorraine, and there was naturally a way to get Leo to back down in the future when it came to the details of the garrison.
