Chapter 502: Propaganda (II)
"Yes. My lord, a middle-aged man," Gu Ke said in a sincere voice, "Everything is in the old, and it will be spread and completed!"
"Alright, you go out!"
As soon as the middle-aged Zuo went out, Luo Meng said to his wife with a wry smile: "Eleni, this time it's a big trouble." β
When Elini saw his situation, she knew that she was in big trouble, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Romon also had nothing to hide, and told his wife about it in 1510, finally. He said with a wry smile: "I didn't think of building a castle." The purchased stone actually involves elves. The Church of the Lord of Radiance assassinated me!"
After hearing this, Eleni's face suddenly changed drastically.
As a pastor, she understands the gravity of this matter better.
Seeing his wife's reaction, Romon jumped in his heart. I keenly feel that maybe things are worse than I imagined.
"The problem is serious, RomΓ³n. Although Alini's face changed drastically, she did not panic, and she muttered for a moment. Only then did he raise his head and say.
"I know, so I want to form public opinion first. and the intervention of the gods of order and war. The Lord of Radiance assassinated me, and apparently there is not enough evidence to judge me. Romon said.
"Your approach has some effect, but it's not enough. Seven thousand years ago, the Lord of Light did issue a prophecy prohibiting trade with elves, and the oracle was not the same as secular laws, as long as the gods did not abolish it. It has always worked, so the parable is still in effect. At this time, she finally showed her strength as a fifth-level priest, and she said methodically and analytically: "If the Church of the Lord of Radiance openly accuses you of this, your actions just now will not have much effect, and the Church of the God of Order and the God of War, and even the merits of resisting demons, can not do much for you." β
"Then what should I do, just wait for death?" Luo Meng raised his eyebrows, revealing a trace of killing intent.
"No, the oracle of the Lord of Radiance, you can't fight it, if you are a saint of that god, maybe it's different, but now, there is no way to fight it head-on, you can only take advantage of the loopholes inside. β
"The Lord of Radiance does prohibit trade with elves, but you don't trade with them directly. It's through human pirates, which is the most critical factor, and with that, there's room for maneuver. β
"Secondly, in the parable of the Lord of Radiance, there is indeed an order for punishment, but it does not state that it must be put to death, or other severe punishment, and this is again room for reversal. β
"Romon, your indirect dealings with the elves have violated the taboo of the Lord of Radiance, this matter is difficult to solve, and besides, you are not safe in the territory anymore. What would you do if the Church of the Lord of Radiance sent someone to arrest you now?" Eleni's face was ugly, and she said, "If you resist." Then the truth is serious, and it has become openly against the Church of the Lord of Radiance, and if you don't resist, you will go there, and it is basically impossible to live out, and this is the tradition of the Inquisition. β
"As for assassination, this kind of method should not be available in the future, and this is not a big deal, and the Lord of Radiance will not admit that he secretly assassinated. β
After listening to this, Luo Meng was silent, and with such an analysis, Luo Meng would be in his own territory
γ
"Romon , the only way now is for you to hide out first, according to the agreement of the gods, the only place that can give you the right to take refuge is the temple of the gods, but this often leads to conflicts between churches, if the prince refuses to take him in, it is not too late to find the right to take refuge. Eleini muttered and said: "You can't continue to stay in the territory, let's go to the second prince first, he is a member of the royal family, and Blue Earth Island is therefore the territory of the royal family, even if the Church of the Lord of Radiance is powerful, it will not dare to break in easily, this is against five thousand years ago." An agreement signed by the gods. β
Five thousand years ago, the Sovereign Lords of Radiance were challenged, and almost all the gods joined forces to confront him, finally making the Radiant Lord back down. No longer directly controlled the secular world, the status of the secular government was protected, and the independence of the royal family was written into the agreement of the gods.
"You went to the Blue Earth Island, which is equivalent to being protected by the royal family, your current sin, it is impossible for the Radiant Church to tear up the agreement of the gods, so it is very safe, let's find a way, go to the Harvest Goddess Church in the city to find help, and communicate with other churches, give mediation, and try to strive for a relatively reasonable result. β
"What if I leave and they look for you?" Romon listened, but did not hesitate.
"No, their target is you, I'm a fifth-level priest, blessed by God, they won't do anything to me. Eleni shook her head.
Seeing that Romon was still hesitating, Eleni said solemnly: "Romong, if you don't leave." That Glorious Church, both publicly arrested. Or an attack, it would be easy to confront the entire territory against the Church of Radiance, and when the time comes, the consequences will be even more serious and irreconcilable. β
Hearing this, Romon thought for a moment. Nod.
That night, Romon called the main cronies and subordinates in the territory, including Nick, Fafer, and the Lulun scholars, and told them about the assassination attack, and handed over the aftermath to them.
As soon as they heard this, the three of them were shocked, and their faces changed greatly.
The authority of the Lord of Radiance, in this world. It is a presence that is stronger than the country.
Later, they all agreed to Efinia's suggestion. I also think that Romon should hide from the game for a while, and wait for things to be cleared up, and then discuss what to do next.
"Romon leave the affairs of the territory to us, you go to the prince, at least it will be safe. It's too dangerous to stay here. Nick nodded approvingly.
"This matter must not be fought any further, otherwise, even in order to maintain the authority of the Lord of Radiance, the Church of Radiance will take extraordinary measures. Lulun scholars agree.
Fafer automatically asked: "Romon, I'll go with you" to protect you, and you are personally in danger. Pai Dian sacrificed the fire, I'm not too relieved, the goal is too big, I'll go with you. β
Romon handed over all the affairs on the territory to them, and when he saw that Fafer still wanted to follow him, he said, "No, Fafer, I'll go alone." The territory needs you, and if you leave with me again, who will be responsible for the defense?"
Come to think of it, that's true. Fafer gave up at this time, and he proposed to select a few capable guards to accompany Romon, but Romont also vetoed them.
The reason is very simple, this time, Luo Meng went to the prince's territory, he planned to be quiet, not to startle the snake, and bring more people, it is easy to attract the attention of others, and it is not good to be shown when the time comes.
Listen to it too. Fafer stopped insisting.
That night, Romon finished his affairs in the territory. I told my wife for a long time. The next day, before it was fully dawn, he rode in a carriage with only one attendant, and first headed to Yuanfan Town, and arrived at the town. And by boat. Towards the prince's land.
Above deck. The wind was drenching.
Luo Meng grimaced, looking at the rough sea from afar.
In my heart, I was full of anger.
Although in front of his wife and subordinates, he tried his best to keep calm, but he was really angry.
Before he left, he had had the bodies of the dead followers collected, buried properly, and given a large pension to their families, but even so, he was still angry, for their deaths, and for the fact that he had been assassinated.
He was assassinated, but he had to compromise. He had to avoid it, to leave his territory, to leave his wife and children, which made his heart as uncomfortable as a fire.
Romon had not fully recovered at this time. This time, when he left, Luo Meng had no bottom in his heart, so there were a lot of magic scrolls and weapons in the space.
And, since it was early in the morning, I took a carriage that looked very ordinary. He didn't bring any entourage, only the coachman disguised as Lu Xiupei accompanied him away.
Now, it's a boat ride again.
Staring at the sea, Luo Meng exhaled heavily.
As a traverser, he instinctively has an estrangement from the Church of the Lord of Radiance, but it has not yet risen to the level of hatred, but this assassination, and having to avoid it, has made him a deep thorn in his heart.
The boat went smoothly, and soon, just as the sun was rising, it came to the prince's blue earth island. After telling them about it, the prince ordered them to be taken in. As soon as I saw Romon looking weak at this time. The prince was amazed.
"Viscount Tetashaw, what's wrong with you?" asked the prince.
"Let's go in and talk about it, His Highness Romon said with a wry smile.
Seeing Luo Meng's wry smile, the prince hurriedly let him in, Lu Xiupei rested in other places outside, and Luo Meng and the prince came to a room and told their own affairs.
Hearing Romon pay attention to this, the prince pondered for a moment. Didn't speak.
Seeing this situation, Romon felt a little in his heart, if this prince refused to take him in, then Romon would only be wandering.
"Viscount Tetashaw, seven thousand years ago, there was a myth that humans were not allowed to trade with elves. Because it has been too long since now, except for people like the children of the nobility who can see the books. Only the priest of the temple in question knows about it, you don't know, and it's understandable. But since this myth exists, it's okay if no one mentions it, and once someone brings it up, the punishment for you will appear, you know what I mean. The prince said with a solemn face.
"I know that, that's why I'm seeking your refuge. Of course, if you feel embarrassed, I can also leave Romon with a frown and say.
The prince smiled slightly and said, "Viscount Titashio, don't worry, I believe you didn't mean to. It can be reconciled. β
The laws of this world, even with pirates, as long as it is normal trade, not treason, will not be prohibited, Romon was promoted from a commoner to his current status, in this world, it is already a luxury for a commoner to be able to read and write, and the prince would not think that a commoner could have a collection of books recording these events.
Romon didn't know, and it wasn't really strange.
After a pause, the prince thought for a moment and said: "Viscount Titashio, you can live in my territory, you don't have to be too pessimistic, things are still taking a turn for the better, in your situation, first you didn't know in advance, and secondly, you didn't openly violate the gods, and the trade is only trade with pirates." Also, you were assassinated before, which is indeed a violation of the rules of the God of Order, and it is also an unruly thing, and you may not be punished too severely in the end, but only if you have to do it, you know what I mean?.
Romon nodded, and the prince was hinting at him. It is necessary to accommodate all aspects of the relationship, and if you can, you can make a difference.
"Your Highness, please help me through this difficult time, I am willing to offer 10,000 gold coins as a tribute to the royal family.
10,000 gold coins? That's a lot of money. From now on, he can lead Tetashaw and brand it as a royal faction, and the prince nodded secretly: "Viscount Tetashaw, you are my friend and a friend of the royal family, I will try my best to help you operate."
"I am already grateful that Your Highness is willing to help me. "I can get such a guarantee from the other party. Romon was already satisfied, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Romon was under the arrangement of the other party. Stayed in the castle for the time being, and here, it should be safe. (To be continued)
