Over the centuries, no one knows how many ascetics are registered in the Church, and how many are not registered but obey the Pope.

This group of apostles, who are purely trying to make themselves stronger, are the most cutting-edge forces, the most terrifying deterrent of the Church.

They obey only the orders of the Pope, and their loyalty is not to the individual, but to the position of the Pope.

Rosie thought about it and sighed, Thor still remembers Thor as powerful as he still remembers, that kind of howitzer that can walk is really not something that ordinary people can fight. However, there should not be many forces of this level, and if there are really a few hundred, I am afraid that the situation will not be as strong as it is now, and it will not be overwhelmed by the ruling class of the empire. There were, at most twenty or thirty, this is Rossi's guess.

Soon, he asked a second question, "If one day I go against those diehards, will you help me?"

Help, and support are not the same. Support can say that I agree with you, agree with your claims, and approve of your actions. But helping is different, helping is more active and positive than supporting. It's like two boxers standing in the ring, and the supporters are shouting praises from the audience, using words to encourage the fighters they support. But to help, it means to get into the ring, to stand behind the supporter, to punch with him.

Ares was silent, he shook his head slightly, which made Rossi's heart fall vigorously, and he said, "I don't know, the Templars are all under the orders of the Holy One, and the Holy One is directly responsible to His Majesty the Pope. Although the Templar was an independent department, it was still part of the Church. I'll need to ask the Sage before I can give you an answer. But don't get your hopes up too much, after all, we are all brothers. ”

Rossi did not get the answer he wanted, and it was to be expected, there is no doubt about the papal crown's dominance over the Church, and every pope can be said to be an absolute dictator, he has absolute power. As long as he doesn't nod, few people can go against his will.

"The third question, if one day I leave the church...... No, what if one day the church split?", Rossi sighed, "Actually, it's all a problem. ”

Yarez glanced at Rossi in surprise, "How is this possible?"

What he meant was that Rossi was an orphan adopted by the church, with roots in the church, how could he think of leaving the church, and how could the church be divided? The church had never been divided in the most difficult times, and even more so that things were getting better and better now?

Rossi has her own opinions and perceptions, and if the diehards become more and more tenacious, when they impose their will on Rossi's head, Rossi does not think that she will swallow her anger. He can say without hesitation that he has done enough for the church, and for more than 300 years, no one has been able to do what he has done, giving the church hope and opportunity to rise. In some ways, he may have done something deviant, but he did more for the Church than even these popes.

If such a hero is to be isolated, there is no reason why he should not leave such an organization that is opposed to him, especially if the Pope does not support him, and there is no reason for him to stay.

Arez saw that Rossi wasn't joking, and he fell silent.

During his time with Rosie, he knew very well what Rossi had done for the church. Ask yourself, he very much agrees with what Rossi has done and affirms everything he has done.

A year ago, the Church was still cowering in Greenland, and in order to survive, the Templars even went out to rob the bandits. The clergy also made guest appearances as doctors, learning medical knowledge that they once disdained, just to get the supplies and money they needed to survive.

Looking at the changes over the years, the church has moved out of Greenland, the mission has been loosened to a limited extent, and Rossi has raised a lot of money for the church. Some of this was given directly to the church, and some of it was offered to the wealthy believers after the church lifted the ban. A year ago, you dared to worship the Church, and the Iron Fist of the Imperial Privy Council let you know what it means to be ruined!

It is undeniable that Rossi's success is due to the church's support for him, but the church has supported more people over the years, and no one has the ability to bring the church out of the swamp it has fallen into.

Areth took a deep breath, "No, it won't be that day. ”

He indirectly expressed his attitude, and Rossi was relieved that at least there were still people firmly on his side, although Ares was only a small person in the whole church.

No matter how many worries there are, life still has to go on.

The eleven members of the bishopric arrived in the imperial capital after ten years, and they quickly accepted the daily trivial work of the cathedral, and these people had received some hints before they came, and they did not point fingers at Rossi, but were very cooperative.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is not a few days away, the imperial capital is even more lively.

The number of believers in the cathedral is also increasing day by day, which is a good sign, and at least some people are starting to find peace and tranquility in their hearts. They can accept the teachings of the church, which means that the teachings are not outdated and have a certain market.

Francisco bought a four-wheeled car, and he couldn't help but show off every day that the only country that could produce four-wheeled cars was the Confederation. The Federation's technology is the most advanced, and many of the scientists of the Truth Society like that relatively liberal system, and they contribute to the Federation's technology, leaving the Tuhlman Empire behind.

Of course, the republic is still far inferior to the Turman Empire, and the warlord melee has not yet had an ending. Although the three countries are hostile to each other, there are always some magical merchants in the Turman Empire and the federal government, who can transport some important materials to some big warlords in the republic without loss.

Given his beloved toy, Francisco couldn't sit still anymore and made the car his home all day long, eager to live in the car twenty-four hours a day. There are not many nobles who own cars in the entire imperial capital, and the productivity of the federation is limited, so they can only accept orders, and the annual output is less than a hundred, but it has to be divided among thousands of wealthy people in the two countries, and it is said that the orders have been lined up for ten years, and I don't know if it is true or false.

Rossi regretted this for a long time, why didn't he memorize the internal combustion mechanism diagram in the first place, he should have been more prepared if he knew that he was going to cross.

The New Year is approaching, and the nobles in the imperial capital are no longer making trouble, although the New Year's fights are often reserved items, but this year is unusually calm.

Beneath this calm lies a turbulent undercurrent.

Prince Fabio has solved the long-standing hidden danger in his sphere of influence, the Church, and he can focus more on Heinse and the royal family. His preparations were more complete, and Heinse and the royal family were more careful.

Three people of similar strength all want to knock each other down, but whoever gets the first punch first means the first out. Because the other person will not hesitate to swing his fist at each other, and it is the most correct thing to do to eliminate one first.

Under this eerie peace, the tandem between the nobles was secret and frequent.

"Anthony is now in charge of the outer city defense, his position is important, find a way to get him down. The Grand Duke of Greenland sat on the couch in the hall, chewing on his legs crossed. The ** of two gold coins gave him a feeling of fluttering immortals, this magical little fruit has always been the favorite thing of the nobles, and only the nobles and those rich merchants and magnates can enjoy it. "If we don't get him down and replace him with our people, it's always a hidden danger to us. ”

This was simply a discussion of the steps to usurp the throne, but the noble patriarchs in the room were deeply convinced.

Rossi sat near Prince Fabio's right hand, with a dozen or so positions in between, which was already the most advanced position he could do.

Let's see who is in front of him, the Speaker of the Imperial Council, the Minister of Finance, the General of the Imperial Military Headquarters, the Vice President of the Presbyterian Council, the Grand Duke of Greenland, the Grand Duke of Sidon, the Grand Duke of Elveron, the hereditary Earl of Andiel, the hereditary Marquis of Kiran, ....... Each of them is a big man of extremely prominent status, who controls one-third of the power of the empire, from the army to the tax collectors, and they can be said to represent the ruling class. Rossi's ability to reach the tenth position on Prince Fabio's right hand has already made many people vomit blood with jealousy.

Andil seems to be just a playboy, but he actually represents the attitude of the great aristocracy, and he himself is in an important position, one of the heads of the Imperial Court.

Rosie first met Grand Duke Greenland, a man who looked to be in his forties, but he was almost sixty years old. This old guy is very well maintained, and his rich life makes him not need to worry about anything, and people who don't have troubles are very young.

"He's not out of the house all day, and Heinsys's old dog knows how important Anthony is, and he's not going to lose his place easily. The Archduke of Sidon was only in his forties, and he inherited his father's title.

The title of the Grand Duke has no concept of reduced succession, and to the extreme of the Grand Duke, a nobleman, it has almost escaped the control of the imperial family. In the past, the fiefdom of the Grand Duke was called "Guo", and they were called His Royal Highness, but now although it has changed a lot, the inheritance of "Guo" was personally selected by the previous Grand Duke. In other words, after the title of duke, the duke is no longer a title, but a position. The royal family can have its own opinions on who will inherit it, but it is the previous Grand Duke who will nod the specific implementation.

The fief of the Grand Duke of Sidon was on the edge of the province of Greenland, and it was also a complete province, and the royal family mixed a lot of sand into it, but unfortunately, this sand eventually became a solid supporter of Prince Fabio.

They did not dare not support Prince Fabio, not to mention that His Royal Highness applied the means, even Sidon could not see the sun the next day.

You know, this world is still very chaotic, there are so many thieves, and it is not a great thing to impact the nobles' manors, as long as they don't kill the nobles.
