261 Archbishop
Because of the hardship that she had to endure in the face of such a difficult situation, Luo Yi sometimes even envied her friend's mind, if she could be like the other party, she didn't have to think about politics, she didn't have to think about the secular infidels of various miscellaneous religions at home and abroad, bandits, mental illness, she didn't have to think about budget revenue and expenditure, and she didn't have to think about the future, as long as she wholeheartedly beat those juniors whose background and status were far inferior to herself, and threw this world and the troubles in this world to a certain man, what a comfortable life it would be!
But, having looked around all the men around her—yes, there were many men around her, and none of them were eunuchs—she felt compelled to continue to sit on that throne of thorns, and after the budget war, she was all the more sure.
Therefore, this envious thought only occasionally turned in the head of Her Majesty the Queen, and then disappeared after a while.
While Chief of Staff Jason the Short is explaining to his assistant Berlier why they can't just destroy the Great Monastery of the Source of the Black Hand, Lord Roy is holding a rally for her first believer, convincing him to go to the Eternal City and receive the archbishop's shawl.
It is conceivable that this believer of the Great Demon King was not at all interested in such a journey, first of all, the Eternal City was a holy place for many people, but it was never his, and he had already learned enough from the venerable former Bishop of Tournest under the cloak of religious brilliance that he felt that there was no need to go any further and go to the Eternal City for graduate study; Secondly, he still has so many things to do in the country that the church cannot find his replacement for a while, and the other bishops are very suspicious. And the clergy who are faithful to Her Majesty the Queen, they are better suited to all walks of life and administration. It's religious knowledge, uh. In terms of knowledge about the old religions, it was the same as that of a crash apprentice in a literacy school, "knowing only the five hundred words that were taught to them"; Besides, he could not have gone to the Eternal City alone, and Her Majesty the Queen was already suffering from a shortage of manpower; In the end, he didn't want to be with him, who was also a good friend of the people of Tournest. Baptista meets again; In the end, even if he went to the Eternal City, he might not get a shawl. I don't know what I can get is a barbecue, the kind that grills human flesh.
These were the reasons that the archbishop put on the table, and in private he had some reasons, but he did not want to tell anyone.
"You have a point, but you have to go." The Great Demon King Luo Yi rubbed his head in pain and thought of words, "Yes, your religious knowledge is enough to serve as the archbishop, and then I don't think a shawl can add any wisdom to you." It's not a game item, it's a +5 intelligence. However, many people feel that no shawl cannot be called an archbishop, and that a bare neck is never a thing. ”
"We can weave one ourselves." The archbishop zealously built the yì road. He has done a lot of fake work under the Great Demon King, and he has become accustomed to it.
"No, because this shawl is not just for people in China."
"Is it for the former king?"
"And your ex. Former archbishop. Luo Yi said, "I have reliable information. He had reconciled himself to the Great Abbey. ”
"It's amazing." The archbishop exclaimed.
"It seems that he made a promise to persuade the Duke to donate vigorously to the Great Monastery when he returns to China," Luo Yi snorted. "And the bishopric of the diocese of Tournest, and perhaps the appointment of an archbishopric heir, ah, there is a good saying, there are no eternal enemies, no permanent friends, only eternal interests."
"Well said."
"The Great Abbey, and the bishops who are hostile to us, are already actively taking action, they are everywhere to make official vows, inciting the priests and the people to oppose us, you have not been to the Eternal City, you do not have the archbishop's shawl, it is a very important part of their mouth."
"My men have reported a lot of this, and I have reported it to you, but I don't think they will shut up when I have a shawl, and then they will claim that I don't have white hair, so I am not worthy of being an archbishop, and with gray hair they will ask for crow's feet, and with crow's feet they will demand that the tail must be upturned and not drooping. Reason, as long as you look for this kind of thing, there will always be it. ”
"Yes, but a shawl is more than just a shawl."
"That's going to be ......"
"The attitude of the Pope."
"I don't think the bishops will remember that they have a 'daddy' on their heads when they fight, and in my experience, you can't see anything but your opponent when you fight." The archbishop said bitterly, which was indeed in line with the facts of the time, "Besides, how can you be sure that the Pope will give me a shawl?" ”
"The people watching will see your shawl, and their attitude is important to our battle. As for the shawl, haven't you heard the saying, 'In the Eternal City, anything can be bought with money'? ”
"It was the Eternal City in the time of the Infidels." The archbishop squeaked, not loud, because he was in the church, and he still climbed from nobody to the highest position in the Neustriac church, so he was not as confident in the church's discipline as ordinary fools and fools, or as Chinese living in the secular 21st century society, he felt that although what the Great Demon King said was absurd, but thinking of some previous rumors, the success rate of exchanging gold and silver for shawls seemed to be quite large......
"Yesterday, the letter of complaint sent by the envoy of the Grand Abbey to the Eternal City disguised as a merchant was intercepted at the docks, but it cannot be said that this is the only one. The letter is here, you can take a look. ”
"They sent a message to the Eternal City......"
"It seems to have completely torn the skin."
"There are quite a few people who came from the Great Abbey in the Eternal City...... Because the threshold of the Grand Monastery is very high, ordinary people cannot enter it, so the Neustrians who can go to the Eternal City, the Grand Monastery is the absolute majority. The archbishop read the letter as he spoke, and then, he understood the reason why Her Majesty had summoned him to the Eternal City, "Ask the Pope to declare the Tournestites heretical?" ”
He immediately understood the severity of the matter, this matter may not be able to kill him, because the army of the Great Demon King protects him, in this era, as long as there are enough troops in hand, it is nothing to believe in paganism, and there are many strange rituals after the local churches merge with local paganism. But then the work of the whole church would be greatly threatened, for not every clergyman would have such perfect protection as he had, and those who opposed would rejoice and be multiplied in courage, and besides there would be many foreign nobles who would fly like flies to blood.
"I'll go!" After understanding the current form, the archbishop said resolutely.
"I'll ask Francis to come with you." Of course, the Great Demon King will not ignore the possible threats that the archbishop may be, although gold and silver can be bought for one qiē, but it is not omnipotent.
"What about the Navy?"
"There's Adair, they're there."
This answer made the archbishop, who had experienced all kinds of dangers, dizzy: "They? (To be continued......)
