"Phew! Stand still! ”

As soon as they entered the gates of Tournest, the two priests were greeted with an unexpected "warm" welcome.

This loud roar was the first to silence the group, and then several heavily armed soldiers rushed forward and "helped" the two priests to a small dark hotel on the side of the road.

What happened?

"Hiccup!"

Not only the two priests involved, but also the rest of the people in the car were stunned by this situation, only their donkey driver continued to burp with the donkey.

The fat priest almost fainted, and the priest tried his best to keep his composure, he didn't want to do anything serious.

Just as the people in the car were about to call the chengguan, a guy with a gilded spur on his foot lined up with the soldiers, walked up to the priests, and said, "Look, look at you, aren't you local priests?" ”

"Yes." It was difficult to disguise himself as a local priest, and the envoy had no such ambitions, and knew very well that he did not have such acting skills.

"Didn't attend the sacrament in the city?"

"So far, not yet." The clergyman, who was familiar with the mysteries of politics, gave a very cautious and official answer, that is, he did not say yes or no.

"Ah, great, God forbid! No sooner had I prayed than he sent us two priests! But wait, you know how to read, right? Can you write? ”

"Of course." The priest secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, great, I'm going to add two candles to tomorrow's sacrifice, and thank the merciful gods for being so considerate of my distress. But let's get down to business for now, gentlemen, I'm not just a random person," the knight straightened his chest: "My ancestor is the magistrate of Zelske, and my father is Baron Lane. I

I came here on the orders of my father, who told me to come here and meet the venerable bishop, but the bishop was now too busy to receive the sacrament of the envoy, and had to hand over the book to make an appointment, and all the priests were also busy with the sacraments, and no one wrote to me. ”

"......" worked for a long time, but he was actually caught.

"But since I've met you two, these won't be a problem, and if you two have time to help me write a letter, I'll be thankful." By the time the knight said this, two of his soldiers had blocked the door, and it was evident that if the two priests had not written for him to-day, they would have had no time to do anything else

……

People are not as good as heaven, and the situation is stronger than people...... The envoy decided to write a letter for them, to see why they had come here to deliver the bishop's book.

He didn't know where he was, but Zelske was clearly outside the boundaries of the diocese of Tournest. If he was not mistaken, it seems to be the confines of the diocese of Romuto, why did a nobleman of the diocese of Romuto send his son to the diocese of Tourneste to give a message to the bishop? What he has to say, it is not right

Passed on to Bishop Romouto?

It seems to have crossed the line.

He thought of this, for the knight knocked on the table with a "bang", and a young man dressed as a boy next to him presented a crumpled roll of paper and an inkwell made of bronze in the shape of a piglet, and a quill in it.

The envoy spread out the paper and dipped his pen in ink.

He did not want his companion to write letters in his place—his companion was said to be very proficient in secular affairs, but not good at writing and writing—not to mention the fact that the monastery generally had only a few books, even when Martin Luther founded Protestantism, and the clergy were illiterate, and Gutenberg printed a hundred Bibles with movable type

It's been a year!

Instead of watching your companion bite the pen and be anxious, it is better to write it yourself.

The knight didn't care who wrote the letter, and after two days in the city like a headless fly, it was his luck to catch a priest who could write to him, and he didn't care who wrote it!

He just dictated.

"To the Venerable Bishop of Turnest......"

The envoy followed his dictation, writing word by word.

“…… If you are willing to send me a few clergy who are proficient in how to administer the sacraments, I am willing to build a chapel for them and St. Aubrey in the territory, and to give St. Aubrey X, in addition to their expenses and lodging

A bull, ten cows, a hundred ewes, a hundred pigs, ......"

St. Aubrey, the saint enshrined in the cathedral of Tournest, whose headless body is enshrined in the church, is headless not because his head was cut off by the pagans and cannot be found, but because when the queen "invited" his body from a monastery abroad with a lot of money, the monastery left his head

Make a commemoration.

This saint was thus beheaded because of the queen's piety.

Although most of the Chinese would have felt cold about this, it was a common phenomenon at the time, and the more famous saints, such as St. Peter, churches and monasteries, were eager to split one of their bones into two and use them.

St. Aubrey was cut into only two pieces, and the more famous saints were cut into at least six pieces on one hand—five fingers, one palm.

Therefore, the envoy who had done his homework in advance was not surprised when he saw the headless corpse flag on the road.

He was only surprised by Baron Lane's proposal.

He actually wanted to hire a few priests from the diocese of Tournest with a high salary to "do the sacraments" with him!

Such a generous and devout benefactor is truly touching – if he had not come all the way to the point of discovering that the "sacrament" of Tournest and the "sacrament" of other places are completely different concepts!

But the knight's letter to him wasn't finished.

“…… If you would like to send the Agricultural Federation and rent all my land...... My land goes from the swamps to the Arrow River to the White Wolf Forest to the ...... If the land that used to be handed over three truckloads of firewood was leased by the Agricultural Federation, I would be willing to accept only two truckloads of firewood, and I would be willing to pay three hundred loaves of bread on the land

Collect two hundred...... In addition, the three altars of the Cathedral of Tournest are dedicated every year on Candlemas Day, Christmas Day and St. Aubrey's Day, as well as a woollen bishop's robe, with boots, hats and other accessories......"

What is the logic of this?

In order to get the agricultural federation to contract the land, are you willing to charge a lower rent than before?

“…… If you wish to send a clergyman, or an agricultural federation, to my domain, I will highly recommend you before the king and other nobles the next election of the Archbishop of Neustria......"

Actually, actually, not only promised to send money and goods, but also promised to canvass for votes during the election?
