While the devil from another world was busy in the barony's field for the life of the horses, the Bishop of Tournest was on his way back to the city of Tournest.

The most venerable bishop of Turnest was named Joseph, the same name as Joseph, the illustrious archbishop of the Kingdom of Newcastle, but the two were not related to each other and were by no means similar in appearance. Archbishop Joseph was a queen for his short, chubby barrel-shaped build, his voluminous silver hair, and his carefree appearance, no matter what his heart might be

and other court ladies favorite. And Joseph, the bishop of Tournest, was a long man, with his tall skin, and a few sparse hairs scattered to such an extent that even if he took off the bishop's pointed hat and wore only the clergyman's cap, no one could see for a moment that he was not bald. His face had very little flesh, and a pair of gray eyes were deeply sunken than the eyes

Under the eyes of several circles was a hooked nose and a pair of thin lips, and with his stereotyped expression as if he had been pondering, it was very similar to the portraits of saints on church frescoes, and His Majesty the King, who was troubled by mundane things, admired his appearance, and it is said that he once said: "Even bishops are always there."

I reflect on it. ”

For this reason (and for other reasons, of course) the relationship between Archbishop Joseph and Bishop Joseph of Turnest was not harmonious, and they had not yet developed to the point of calling each other heretics at meetings, but those who wanted to call them friends spoke in defiance of conscience.

Bishop Joseph of Tournest did not buy Archbishop Joseph, who came from a noble family whose ancestors had married into the royal family, who had studied in a major abbey, and Archbishop Joseph, who was only the personal priest of the Duke of Ulrich before becoming bishop, and was born in a little-known monastery in the Duke's domain of Ulrich, which is said to be the abbey

It was because he was too cold that he escaped the sack of the Duke of Ulrich.

In addition, he is one of the twelve bishops of Newcastle, which means that in the Church of Newcastle he is one of the top twelve figures (Archbishop Joseph and Bishop of Ruhrhof) in charge of the wealthy diocese of Tournest, and with the support of the king, there is no need to take the words of the archbishop as a golden rule like ordinary petty priests - in fact,

He had privately ridiculed the archbishop's mispronunciation during the ceremony.

He was more qualified to be the Archbishop of Newcastle than Joseph, the archbishop of the Priory, who believed so strongly that from his birth, from his education, from the support he received......

Not to mention the barrel that was only favored by the daughter of the Duke of Ulrich, even the prophet Moses, who also had the confidence that he could not lose to him - the prophet Moses could draw water out of the rock, but he, the bishop of Tournest, Joseph, could squeeze oil out of the stone!

As he rode his horse, he kept calculating his possible income.

Among them is also counted the minor priest Shepp in Brad's domain.

Shepp gave a lot of filial piety to the church, but it was not enough.

He should have worked harder.

If he could exert himself to such an extent that the Bishop could hold him firmly in his hands with the handle of Baron Brad's widow.

Although Baron Brad's widow had no right to dispose of the estate, she could convince her to teach her son to be close to the gods.

Then, the land is donated to the church by the hands of the little master, and this is legal.

If her son refuses, there are many ways.

Baroness Brad will not be the first, nor will she be the last.

When the owner is breathing, the hospice priest can use his name to declare that the deceased has donated his property to the church for the salvation of his soul.

The heirs did not arrive at the deceased's side in time to listen to the will, which gave the confessing priest an opportunity, many, many.

That's what the bishop did.

He was so pleased that he stretched out his witch-skinned finger and admired the ring on his finger, which was inlaid with a large amethyst, a mineral that was much more valuable in ancient times than it is now, and whose price had been greatly reduced by the discovery in Brazil.

Europeans believed that amethyst could ward off evil spirits, but its deep purple glow further fueled greed in the bishop's heart.

"If you get Brad's territory, the land will be connected to Alban Abbey, and then ......"

As for the purpose of his departure from Tournest, the All-New Synod of Bishops and Clergy, he did not take it to heart at all.

It was decided that all the clergy who had wives should abandon their wives and return to a life of pure service to the gods.

That's how the resolution is written.

The bishop didn't take it seriously at all.

Twenty years ago, the synod decided that bishops could not go into battle in armor.

The synods of previous years decided that the abbots and bishops could not use the tithe tax received to keep dogs and lovers.

Last year's synod decided that abbots and bishops could not use the tithe tax received to keep dogs, lovers and soldiers...... Yes, they have not only put on their own armor and go to battle, but also feed the army.

What, then, did he have to see this synod as different from the previous ones?
