[Ask for recommendation, ask for collection......]

Santos's manor in the suburbs outside the city is smaller than the Marquis's Palace, and it is more beautifully decorated, but it has less of the luxury of the aristocracy and more of the ostentatiousness of the nouveau riche.

There is a distance of seventy or eighty meters from the gate of the manor house to the gate of the building, paved with bluestone slabs, quite a few flower beds, and a mermaid fountain. On both sides are low trees that are more than one person tall and manicured, and outside are slightly undulating lawns like hills.

The entire manor is divided into four large parts, centered on the mansion. There is a swimming pool to the left of the entrance, as well as a polo field, which is a very popular sport nowadays. However, judging from the traces of use, Santos does not seem to have the habit of playing polo, and has not even used it once, just a decoration. There is a labyrinth-like bush on the right side of the entrance, which is very interesting, and it seems that many rich people like this thing. Behind are two open spaces, which have not yet been utilized, and some reclining chairs and other things for people to rest.

Entering the gate of the mansion, the first thing is the four gold-painted stone pillars, which are very domineering and earthy, which makes Rosie have a desire to complain. This stone pillar, which is completely different from the decoration style, spoils the overall beauty of the building and makes the atmosphere of the nouveau riche even stronger. The floor of the hall is paved with vermilion marble to illuminate the human figure, the ceiling is made of white stone, and two huge crystal lamps hang in the air, and the light refracts the light through the crystal pendant to the whole room, which is intoxicating.

A two-stage spiral staircase leads to the second floor, with two doors on the side of the staircase leading to the room at the back, and a dining room through the side doors, and the overall layout is similar to that of the popular buildings at the time, with only a gap in detail. Such a building is enough to accommodate nearly a hundred people, Rosie just glanced at it a few times and left, he didn't like the emptiness here, there was no trace of fireworks, it was full of depression and emptiness.

Not only Rosie, but almost everyone who has been here does not like this manor, probably because they have lived under the influence of the church for a long time, and feel that such a luxurious house is not very suitable for them. There is one person who is an exception, and that is Hano.

Hano, a turtle, has always lived in the countryside, and his biggest ideal is to live a life where he has meat to eat every day and money to go to the casino every day. Such a house is the most perfect house in his heart, and the strong nouveau riche atmosphere also intoxicates him. If it weren't for Rosie's unwillingness to live here, he would have been eager to move here immediately and enjoy the life of a superior person as soon as possible.

After a visit by the church, the estate was put on hold forever and put up for sale, and Rossi cared more about money than the environment in which he lived and enjoyed.

Santos does have a lot of wealth, about nearly 20,000 gold coins, which is about 300 million yuan on the earth. These may seem like a lot of coins, but they're not.

If you use these gold coins to arm the team that has always been modern, you can get together a thousand people at most, and you will reach the limit. The gunpowder gun costs two gold coins each, but the bullet costs ten silver coins each. The price of light armor has been much cheaper because of the improvement of craftsmanship, but it also costs about four or five gold coins, plus other miscellaneous things, including salaries and various reserves, and a thousand people are quite reluctant. It can be seen that the church has been maintaining a small number of armed forces not because of forbearance, but because it really has no money.

During this time, since the death of Santos, all parties in Lyme City have gradually accepted the fact that the church headed by Rossi has become a new force. People are still reluctant to believe that such a religious institution, which has always been upward, has been transformed into a strong and decisive organization. However, the doctrine and the Bible do not say that the church must be outside of society, otherwise there would be no such thing as bringing 300,000 armor back then. People are slowly accepting it, and the church needs to change slowly.

Rosie played with the ruby in his hand without a trace of impurities, shining in the light, ten days ago he was still worried about the start-up capital, but now he has a large amount of money. This money may seem like a lot, but it doesn't actually meet the needs of Rossi's plan. He needed more wealth, more gold, more gems. But before he can have more wealth, he needs to use it up and use it in key positions.

He threw the ruby into a pocket and ordered Hanno to pack it, "The pocket must be tightened, sealed with lacquer, and you will personally send it to the imperial capital to be handed over to the Marquis of Andier, and the other bag of gems will be given to Lord Count Francisco, and the rest will be given to Prince Fabio's butler." Rosie glanced at him, "If I let me know that you stole any gold coins or gems from it, I promise to hang you on the gatehouse of the city gate and keep Santos company." ”

Hano immediately shuddered, his eyes flickered to look elsewhere, and the whole person fell to the ground, shouting loudly: "This is impossible! Your faithful servant will definitely send these things to the imperial capital according to your request." ”

Rosie pouted, there were two kinds of people he didn't believe in the most, the first was a guy with a drug addiction, and the second was a gambler.

There are no drugs in this world, and for the time being, the gambler's character is not trustworthy. Hano didn't go to the casino during this time, not because he quit gambling, but because Rosie was unwilling to cast a blessing spell on him. With his hidden attribute of negative luck, no amount of money is enough to lose. People like to win, gamblers prefer to win, and without Rosie's help, Hano couldn't find a trace of happiness in the casino, not to mention that the casinos in Lime City now belong to the church.

Sometimes Hano would secretly speculate whether Rossi was a clergyman in the church who admired light or a villain in the cloak of light, and he had done a lot of things that only bad people could do. The corpses standing outside the city gate had begun to dry, and he, like many people, did not dare to show other thoughts on his face, but he could think about it without breaking the law.

"I'll arrange for two Templars to be with you, be careful on the way. ”

It takes about ten days to go to the emperor, and it is still by train. Since the invention of the steam engine, it has been rapidly reformed and put into practice. Everything that can strengthen the national power and be applied to war, whether it is a person or a thing, is attracting attention in this world.

Early the next morning, Hano quietly set out on his way with two Templars in black cloaks, accompanied by three Templars in the shadows, to ensure that the belongings, worth more than 20,000 gold coins, entered the political center of the Turman Empire safely and handed over to Francisco and Andiel.

And Rossi wants to continue to smooth out the relationship with Lyme City, this is his home base, and before he leaves here to go to the imperial capital, he must make sure that this place is safe.

"You're so relieved of that guy?", Yarez had a dead face all year round, stiff and numb. His thin lips moved slightly, "Although Hano is a believer in the church, I don't believe in this treacherous person, maybe you will be bitten by him at any time." ”

Rossi shrugged his shoulders, "But at least he'll be loyal to me until he has the power to bite me." If that day comes, I will personally cut off his head and hang it on the cross. ”

Yarez sneered twice and changed the subject, "There are still almost two months before Victory Day, do you really plan to go to the imperial capital?" Our strength in the imperial capital is very weak, and we have been suppressed and encircled by the nobles all these years, and there are only a few people left who are still hidden. I don't recommend you to go, because it's too dangerous to go, and if something happens, no one can save you. ”

Rosie dragged her chin and looked at Areth, "Sometimes I really doubt the intelligence of you and them, have you never considered using Huairou means against the nobles and the imperial royal family?"

"How?", a flash of curiosity flashed in Areth's eyes.

"You have killed one nobleman, but you have brought more nobles together and hated the enemy. I think it's stupid, boring, and naïve. Rossi didn't care that it was a pope who made this policy that died for it, and he didn't have the slightest sense of awe, which made Areth's brows stand up, "Don't look at it like that, if you think about it, you will know if what I said is right." There are also contradictions and conflicts between the nobles, and if these contradictions and conflicts are magnified and you don't need to do anything, the nobles themselves will be killed and bloodied, and in the end it will not be blamed on the head of the church.

But you have been making negative teaching materials, all kinds of plots to assassinate and subvert, so that the power of the royal family has been concentrated unprecedentedly in more than two hundred years, and your cause has not made the slightest progress, it is really sad!"

"It's our cause!", Aarez corrected the loophole in Rossi's words, "you are also one of us, and you should not say such things." ”

Rosie looked at Areth in surprise, but his attention was elsewhere, "I thought you wouldn't have any mood swings, were you angry just now? I can feel it, you must be angry!", Rosie laughed, "You're right, it's our business, no, it should be my business." ”

He didn't care about Aarez's temper and said lightly: "You see, it only took me a short time to do what you haven't done in hundreds of years, and that's what happened. Now, I need the connections and intelligence of the nobles of the Empire, at least let me know what kind of enemies and partners I am standing in Prince Fabio's camp at this time, who they are, what abilities and means they have, so that I can make fewer mistakes. ”

"I'll gather this information and hand it over to you as soon as possible, I repeat, it's our business. We have paid a lot of lives and sacrifices for this. ”

Rosie waved his hand, "Okay, okay, it's our business. He turned his head and diverted the subject, "Are you as strong as Thor?"

Areth looked at him, turned and walked away.

Rosie laughed a few times, shook her head, and closed her eyes.

There are some anomalies in the increase in his prayer progress in the past month, it seems that everything will affect the level of prayer, and seeing that the second-level prayer progress bar is close to eighty percent, he is considering whether to use up the attribute points. But he had a feeling that attribute points should be used for other purposes, more important than for prayer.
