It is also home to the largest theological library on the mainland, with 2,500 books, as well as a clerical university.

Four hundred people were here to defend the safety of the Pope and the cardinals.

Even though he was injured (pretending), Bran was ordered by his boss Fernando not to leave without permission.

St. Benburg was brightly lit, and the huge candles seemed to be lit again after they were extinguished, and after a day and a night, many high-ranking people came out of it, and Bran knew the reason.

The Hand of God, the shield of light, Luyo II, the apex of the clergy, fell ill!

After believing that he had received God's favor, he invested huge financial and human resources in the East, but the outbreak of such a serious epidemic was interpreted as a divine decree by a cardinal candidate who had already received funding from the "Frankish Emperor", and together with the previous transfer of fiefdoms, he attacked Lujo II.

This cardinal candidate was able to speak well, and also put together some catastrophic visions, Luyo II did not argue, and fainted in anger for a while, so that he has the vigilance he has now.

When the Pope fell ill, he delayed for two days, and when he found that he could not discuss the matter, he was replaced by other cardinals.

But who came, the cardinal vote was divided, and in the end, the sick Pope struggled to write the name of "Heywood" and decided that he would serve as acting pope.

The cardinal was the abbot of Bran's former monastery, and he had greeted him since he arrived in Rome, and he had met twice in the Order, so he was quite familiar with it.

Heywood was promoted, Flore was very happy, and the two had a deep personal relationship.

After all the formalities were completed, the cardinals issued a proclamation from St. Benburg, and then Heywood entered the high platform of St. Benburg, dressed in white holy garments, and received worship from his subjects for half a day.

The Oz incident, which Bran was most concerned about, had an accident and was not discussed at the emergency meeting, because there were too many unexpected events.

The merchant ships sent by the god of the south, Chai Su, have recently crossed the sea boundary and infested the Roman merchant ships many times, and they need to be warned.

The dispute between the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller over a small island has not yet been resolved, and it has even intensified.

Edward, the long-legged of England, kept writing to the Holy See asking for a peace decree to stop the military invasion of William the Conqueror of Scotland.

Seven minor nobles broke away from the southwestern region controlled by the Kingdom of Denmark to form a new alliance of powers, called the "Netherlands Seven Cities Union", and introduced a governor (Grand Speaker).

They also sent men to the Holy See to seek alliances and baptisms.

The Dutch declared that all of their forces could be converted, but that the Holy See and the Illuminated allies would need to trade with them and conclude a military alliance.

The Frankish Empire will also have a number of bishops in the country, which will need to be supervised.

There is also the withdrawal of troops from the Holy City and the medical operation, and the Great Misa in the city after the New Year.

All of these major events are more urgent than the Little Earl of Oz incident.

However, because of the messenger sent by Oz, he proposed that the territory be returned to God, which was a work of opening up the land.

That night, Heywood thought about it and gave Duke Never and Count Oz a mandatory peace order that they should not go to war first, and the words were very deliberate.

Two more parties are invited to come to the Holy See within 30 days of receiving the letter to explain the situation.

This was ordered by Heywood himself, and as acting Pope, he decided to show his "diplomatic talents" and let both men come to Rome to listen to the voice of the Lord and avoid fighting.

Because of Florelle, their team suddenly changed their mission and became the personal guard of the vicar of St. Benburg.

This is a glorious duty.

The guards were also dressed differently, and their bodies were inlaid with holy gold threads.

Bran was known for his good looks, courtesy, and convent studies, and arranged with Leary and Fernando to stay with Heywood, eight hours each, in three shifts.

However, Fernando occupies the noon time, the morning and evening slots are given to the other two, and Bran is the evening slot (8 p.m. to 4 a.m.).

As Heywood wrote the peace order, Bran watched from his side.

The words written by decades of immersion are neat and powerful, and Bran thinks that he is much better than himself.

During this time, Heywood also said to Bran, "I heard that you participated in a war in Northern Italy last time. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency (also addressed to the Cardinal)."

"I know Duke Never, I met this highness several times when I was in Florence, he was a very brave knight, but I have not seen Oz, tell me about him, I also want to know what kind of man committed the atrocities that Never said."

"He's a ......," Bran said, sorting through his memories.

During this time, Heywood's face kept looking at the pen, occasionally glancing at Bran, and when Bran finished the whole memory, the former just answered, and Bran stood quietly aside, not thinking about it.

As soon as the mission was dismissed that night, Bran went to inform the messenger sent by Oz and told him to return with the good news.

Because of his identity tag and clothing, even if there is a curfew, Bran is still not subject to interrogation.

Although relieved of his duties, he did not immediately return to the Order, but rode back to the house he had purchased in Rome.

There was a man guarding the front of the house.

When he heard the sound of horses' hooves, the man immediately went in to make a report, and Hilde, the steward of the inner room, came out of the door to greet him.

More than a year has passed, Hield has not grown much in height, Bran is taller again, and the contrast between the two standing together is even more obvious.

But Hilde's expression has improved significantly, and he has become extremely confident, and he can even say that he radiates.

He currently acts as the "overseer of the money bank" opened by Bran in Rome.

He knew all the prices and exchange rates of various countries and regions, and he had to touch them every day until he fell asleep, and now he blindfolded them, and by the touch of his hands, he knew where the currency was produced, and the value could buy a few pounds of cream.

He went to the harbor whenever he could, smelled the sea, and went to the sailors who had just come ashore to drink rum with the money he earned, and to know the details of each of their trips.

Although he did not leave Rome, the information did not fall at all.

Last time, he heard rumors of a merchant ship that had sunk off the coast of the peninsula, loaded with artifacts that were also produced in Provence in Rome and southern France, and that goods such as ivory or rhinoceros horn had been imported from North Africa.

Judging by the day, the flag painted by the sailors was believed by Hilde to be a celebration of Ashklai's birthday party, as well as to sell handicrafts purchased by other nobles, from Byzantine ships.

So Hilde went to Bran to discuss and buy some crafts.

Due to the power of the guilds, he couldn't buy much.

Later, the Byzantine chamber of commerce judged the date and bought the fastest from Rome, and sent someone from the Aegean Sea to buy a whole ship, and raised the price of the change of ship again.
