"My lord, Priest Duncan has something to see."

Bird had just finished his breakfast when an attendant whispered a reminder beside him.

"Alone?"

"No, there's a middle-aged man behind me."

Bird wiped his mouth and motioned for the attendants to remove the table and clean it up.

Then he got up and prepared to change places, "Let them in."

"Yes"

"Lord Lord" followed Duncan by a middle-aged man, Bird could vaguely look at it, but this person kept his head down, and he didn't know what this person looked like.

Looking at Duncan's driving, Bird also roughly guessed what Duncan was doing this time.

"Priest Duncan, how's the church being built lately?"

"Thank you Lord for your concern, I'm here to recommend talents for your lordship" Duncan didn't seem to want to exchange too many pleasantries with Bird, but went straight to the point.

"Sid," Duncan shouted in a low voice.

The middle-aged man standing behind Duncan also hurriedly took a few more steps forward, and then stood side by side with Duncan.

"Your Lord!" Sid bent down and waved his hand, doing the proper etiquette.

'A man with a story, a weather-beaten, handsome middle-aged uncle,' Bird looked at Sid's long face, and immediately rolled out of his mind these three rough adjective sentences.

"Sid, who used to be a tax collector in the Duchy of Roque, has brought him here and recommended him to your lordship. As far as I know, the Stanlow Free Territory has only one political officer appointed at the moment. I hope that Lord Lord's permission" Duncan said at this point, and his words couldn't help but carry a little confidence, as if he thought that it was impossible for Bird to refuse such a talent, and it was possible that he was showing his own strength or that of the church.

"As far as I know, the Duchy of Roque is the number one principality in the Empire. I wonder why Sid wanted to come to such a small place as me, is it because of the church?" Bird habitually narrowed.

Sid seemed to have thought that Bird would ask such a question, and he had already thought of the answer, so seeing that he didn't think much time, he replied directly, "The Duchy of Roque is now finalized, and Priest Duncan told me that in the remote part of the empire, there is a free territory with great potential for development. So I followed his advice, and I came," Sid did not answer Bird's question about whether he was a member of the Cult of Arthur, but said that he was only a friend of Duncan.

Bird felt that Sid's answer seemed a little more outrageous than the story Aubrey had told yesterday. How could a normal person only listen to other people's words and come to the door to apply for a job, giving up everything he had before.

"I wonder what Mr. Duncan thinks of the development potential of the Stanlow Free Territory?"

"There are no free realms in the empire yet, and the Duchy should openly recognize the existence of the Cult of Arthurs, right?"

Bird then remembered, and was immediately dumbfounded.

He was indeed overlooking the fact that there was only one religion recognized throughout the empire, and that was the Salvation Society. Although he has now driven out the Salvation Society through the hands of the Cult of Arthurs, this means that his relationship with the people of the entire empire has reached indifference or hatred to a certain extent.

Although there will always be some people who have some kind of affection for the Salvation Society, no one has ever declared it loudly and acknowledged the existence of another religion.

What will happen next? Inquisition, or religious wars. Thinking of this, Bird couldn't help but have a headache. However, what can make this situation a little better now is the information obtained from Jean, although Heisler intends to retaliate, it seems that he has not yet contacted the headquarters of the Salvation Society, and has not received approval.

"Mr. Duncan, I hope that the Salvationists in the city will not be harmed" Before Duncan could say anything, Bird continued, "I hope that the Free Order of Stanlow is a place of freedom of religion, and of course, for our friendship, I will do my best to help the Cult of Arthur grow"

"Is this to avoid a mortal feud with the Salvation Society?" Duncan said to break Bird's purpose.

"Of course, as long as the Salvation Society doesn't attack, the Cult of Arthur will also develop, right?"

Duncan closed his eyes, as if thinking about something, or getting in touch with someone.

After a moment, Duncan opened his eyes, looked at Bird meaningfully, and nodded "We all agreed"

Duncan uses 'we'.

"Okay, my new tax collector, Sid. I'll ask Mick to find you a nice place to stay later."

Anyway, several good courtyards in Stanlow are empty now.

"Yes," Sid nodded in response, as if it was a deal.

As soon as Duncan left, Bird hurriedly issued a new decree, that is, freedom of religious belief.

"Where did Captain Mick go?" for most of the day, Bird hadn't seen Mick appear. According to the past, now is the time when I should be sick to my stomach when I watch Mick, and I haven't seen anyone for most of the day.

The new Knight Training Instructor was one of Mick's cronies, and even Bird asked, "Have you forgotten what your lord promised yesterday to conduct a population and land count?

Bird couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, especially now that Mick wasn't around. When the time comes, if Mike works hard to complete the task, and suddenly finds that he has only completed a small part of it, and the reward is discounted, it will inevitably be frustrating. Especially since this money is basically given by himself.

A few of the attendants looked confused, not knowing what Bird was laughing at, but they couldn't open their mouths to ask.

Bird hadn't rested long before another person came, and it was Aubrey.

stepped forward to apologize first, "I drank a little too much with Captain Mick last night, so I only came here at this time today, I hope the lord doesn't think I'm putting on a show, it's like this."

"It's okay, it's okay" Yesterday's drinking, he didn't tell Mick to do it, which can't be blamed on Aubrey. However, Bird suddenly felt a little dark in his heart, especially when he commanded others to do things and reaped the fruits on the sidelines, while the person being manipulated did not know that the 'real murderer' was in front of him, and was still complaining about the person who made the move.

"No," Aubrey said with a serious face, "As a government officer, the first thing to discuss with the lord of the day is the decision-making decree of the day, which is what a government officer should do."

"Relax, Aubrey, you're going to get worse and worse if you do that. Don't worry, if I have any ideas, I'll discuss them with you."
