That's it, completely ignoring Aurora's visceral gaze of contempt. Egil was laughing and talking at the banquet. Jeanne d'Arc was even invited out as a guest. Joan of Arc was dressed like a hostess—the same style that Egil had given her. It was exactly what Egil had prepared a few days ago.

Absolutely stunning. Seriously, Joan of Arc's physiognomy should be on the same level as Artoria. Actually, it doesn't quite fit the mainstream European aesthetic - but Joan of Arc has two bonuses. The first was her Virtuoso banner, which was much better than Altoria's always cold-faced and frightening face. The second is Joan of Arc's chest that has reached C+. Much better than the slabs in Altoria. Add to that the law that people should be clothed. and the make-up techniques of the court ladies. Makes Joan of Arc look as charming as a blooming white lily.

Still, having said that, the guests didn't feel wrong with Egil's actions. In this day and age, although it is said that under the mainstream of monogamy, every nobleman has at least one lover - some have even developed to the extent of making it public. The same as in and out of the same way and in the same way as a real husband and wife, like Egil, a young and promising king, did not have a lover. It's an incredible thing. There are even people who privately doubt Egil's ability to beep. In particular, Queen Artoria does not seem to be able to have children yet (in this day and age, it is definitely the fault of women that they cannot have children. Sincerely). That's even more anxious. What if Egil died? Wouldn't the Norman kingdom be extinct?

Oh yes, and Aurora. So looking at this urine surname, Aurora may be able to become a Norman queen. This is also the reason why some people go to great lengths to marry Aurora. But so far no one has succeeded. All the noble male surnames who proposed to the eldest princess were strongly despised by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. For this reason, there are not a few people who throw water and take poison. After all, not all men are as shameless as Egil and can face contempt with all the contempt, especially of beautiful women.

So, when Egil announced in public, Joan of Arc, the venerable maiden who was favored by God, was going to become a nun. Spend all the time to pray for the faithful. And Egil himself was touched by this. A cathedral was to be built in each of the four cities of Gothenburg, Normandy, London, and St. Petersburg, and handed over to Joan of Arc for administration. Everyone's surprise can be imagined.

Although it is said that "beeping" nuns is a very fashionable thing in this era. It's like the Chinese "beep" Taoist or nun in the same period. It can produce a special spiritual pleasure. As someone has said, the more sacred something is, the more it is tainted - it's just a pity that the bearded men of the Islamic world don't have female religious roles because of their absolute patriarchy. Muslims are deprived of such a benefit.

But Joan of Arc is a saint, a saint, eh! Isn't Egil afraid of being damned by heaven if she does this? And I want to talk about this girl dressed as a nun? Is she going to beep in the church? It must be beep in the church, right?

In this way, Egil's behavior feels inappropriate. But the Holy See begged Egil, and the other nations were either afraid of Egil or equally begged him. Therefore, no one dared to raise objections. Especially when Egil ran to the envoy of the Papal State with a smile on his face and asked: "After this matter is over, can the Holy See canonize me or something?"

The papal envoy was so embarrassed that he had to excuse himself and said: "This kind of thing is usually a reward for the ancient sages. As for the people of this world...... This ......"

That means that the title of saint is basically only worn by the dead. Wait until you're dead.

After all, the Holy See is not stupid. In other words, these people are smarter than ordinary people in the name of God. And the profession they are engaged in makes them know that faith is terrible. How troublesome it would be for the words of a living saint to appear. And if the living saint is still a monarch with real power. Then the clergy will not be able to play for a long time. Therefore, no matter how Egil cancels, the papal envoy will bite the bullet and not let go. Resolutely, absolutely not to allow Egil to be canonized.

"Forget it. Egil shrugged, knowing how vexatious his offer was. But anyone with a normal IQ - no, even if he is a little stupid, as long as he is not a very stupid clergyman, can understand the harm that the emergence of such a theocratic force will do to the Holy See.

So, Egil didn't really take this matter to heart. Just trying to disrupt the emissary's thoughts and use it as a bargaining chip. That's all.

That's right, bargain - just after the previous emissary left, the Papal States were again attacked by the Eastern Roman Empire. This meeting was not as simple as before, the Eastern Roman army of 20,000 men besieged Rome, the capital of the Papal States, for nearly ten days, and finally had to retreat due to the desperate assistance of Milan and Venice. All of a sudden, the Papal States were almost scared to death - unlike before. The Germans of the Holy Roman Empire, even if they conquered the Papal States, would only exile the previous pope and then set up a new pope.

If the Eastern Roman Empire had broken the Papal States...... Then there would be no Papal States. The Pope would be executed by the Eastern Holy See for heresy. The entire Vatican and Holy See will be purged. It was later incorporated into the Empire, and the religious system was changed to Orthodox Christianity, which was administered by a bishop sent by Patriarch Constantine.

Destroy the country and extinguish the species. This is how the Eastern Roman Empire dealt with this group of treacherous traitors.

So, this time Innocent III was really in a hurry. The messenger of the strict command - also his confidant bishop. He must have Egil send troops to help.

"He can do whatever he wants! As long as he rescues Rome, then it doesn't matter if he wants to be emperor!!

At that time, Innocent III held the emissary's arm in this way, stared at it and lowered his voice like this. Later, when the messenger looked again, his arm was pinched in a purple circle.

“...... The Emperor. It's really a lot of money. But the Holy See was also in a hurry. If the Normans were promised an emperor, then the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire would not have been able to immediately lead their troops to the Vatican and eat the Holy See raw?" I think Innocent III is old and confused. However, it wasn't until he met Egil that he realized that this man was really difficult to deal with.

"So, sir, I have a collection of wines that are quite vintage, and taste quite good, but the name and year are unknown. Would you like to find a quiet place with me and sit down and have a bite to eat?" and bluff no more. It's still important to get down to business. And so he said.

The papal envoy breathed a sigh of relief: "I can't ask for it." ”

"Wait a minute. Egil said to Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc nodded in understanding. So Egil took the messenger a few steps towards the side door of the banquet hall, and then turned his head to look at Nemulis, who had been canonized as a viscount and was drinking wine alone in a dark corner where no one was around. He was relieved to see that the spy leader nodded to him, signaling that everything was normal and that no hostile spies had been found. Beckoning the papal envoy to open the side door, after a few turns, a small door was opened, and then the place was reached.

"Well, now Your Excellency should have no scruples. Egil pulled over his chair and sat down, then reached out to take the cold wine from the girl who was also dressed in a large black maid outfit, and sank the whole person into the soft polar bear skin cushions, reflecting the crackling red fire, and asked.

"Very nice outfit. "Of course, if there is one more person who is in a hurry, it is this girl with a sweet smile, a bumpy figure, and a very special dress, which is quite deviant for this era.

"If you like, I can give you one. Egil said as he sipped his wine.

The envoy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Forget it." I'm not young anymore. It's not like Your Majesty, you can't play anymore. ”

"Oh, that's a shame. Egil nodded, looking deeply regretful. Then snapped his fingers. The maid saluted and walked out.

Speaking of which, the messenger did not report himself to his home. But on the surface, it should be between forty and fifty years old. It's not the age group that "can't play anymore". Moreover, even if you really can't play. Rather, they wouldn't say that. The reason why he refused was because there were about the post-80s Shaolin abbots all over the continent, beggars, craftsmen, serfs, and even petty bureaucrats, thieves and bandits. It's just that because of the advanced mode of operation, not many people know about it until now - but in the upper echelons of the nations, there are few rumors of catching the wind. The Roman armor is the best in the world, not as good as a dagger behind Norman's back or something. This messenger is very clever. Naturally, I know that some bribes can be collected, but some bribes are fatal. That's why he politely rejected Egil.

Egil smiled, equally unimpressed. Indeed, as the messenger feared, the maid was really a spy......
