"His Excellency Bishop Françaeco has arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"The herald's orthodox Latin swirled between the marble of the empty reception room, with a metallic texture, reaching Jonas's ears, and Jonas stood up from his seat as he stood up in respect of the bishop of the cathedral of San Lorenzo, who was about to appear before him as his footsteps drew closer.

"Squeak..... The gorgeous white stone door was slowly pushed open, and the lines depicted in gold on it changed between the movement of the door because of the angle facing the sun, and the angle of refraction also changed, and Jonas faced the door head-on, only feeling the brilliance floating for a moment, and the whole originally clear world in front of him was dyed a blurred white by the change of light, and for a while, he could only use his hands to block this somewhat strong light.

Fortunately, the strong change did not last long, and in 5 seconds, the door was closed and opened, and Jonas's eyes quickly adapted after the instrument that refracted the light disappeared, and then he saw Bishop Francisco walking slowly towards him at the place where the door opened.

"He is really the bishop of Genaya, and he is really ..... rich. Looking at Bishop Francisco, who was coming towards him, Jonas could no longer take his eyes off, Francisco's clothes were so shiny, and the red brocade was draped over the bishop's thin body in a very simple, but by no means simple, shape under the delicate weaving of the workers.

It doesn't look like the traditional clergyman's robe is bloated and fat, it doesn't show the figure of the person who wears the dress, and it doesn't make people feel that the bishop doesn't look solemn enough in this dress, which in Jonas's eyes, it doesn't actually look like a clergyman's robe, but gives him a feeling of Taoist robe, or the clothes of the Han and Tang dynasties in China, with long sleeves and fluttering sleeves, wide robes and large sleeves, giving people a sense of elegance.

Just this piece of clothing, Jonas can feel that it is worth a lot of money, but if it is just this piece of clothing, it will not make Jonas unable to control himself from saying such rude words in front of other guards, he is just admiring the artistic taste of His Excellency the Bishop, the main reason for Jonas's amazement is that in addition, the pure gold scepter in Francisco's hand is about 1.30 meters, which is what Jonas will covet so much, the forehead is wrong, it is an exclamation of appreciation.

The main function of these scepters is to open his hands when the lord meets his subjects, in order to show a tool for the lord's prestige, at this time, the scepter is needed to support his open hands, this tool is also in this need to show the majesty of the time, what is the purpose of Francesco to see himself with such a scepter, Jonas knows a little bit about it, but this is completely different from the design of other scepters, which is the reason why Jonas is surprised.

A scepter of about 130 centimeters, Jonas has seen a lot, Count Il has one, he once went to the Milan Museum with Sandra and also saw the scepters used by the previous Dukes of Milan, there are a total of 5, in this world, gold is not as scarce as in the previous life, so even if it is made of gold, Jonas does not think this scepter is expensive.

At least in Jonas's limited knowledge, he knew that the grandfather of the current king of France had built a villa made of gold for his mistress in the suburbs of Paris, and it could also be seen that gold was not as expensive in this world as imagined.

Of course, Jonas was not surprised by the raw material of the scepter, but he was surprised by the huge sapphire set at the top of the scepter, which was the reason for Jonas's surprise.

Europe in these years is the same as the Middle Ages, and is not familiar with the world outside Europe, at most it knows about the West Asian region and North Africa on the other side of the Mediterranean, but it is also poorly understood, as for India and China, which go further east, it is a place of legend, as for the west of Europe, it is a place where birds are silent, flowers are not fragrant, men are ruthless, women are unrighteous, and it is not a pity to know and pity.

As we all know, the main production places of sapphire are in Australia, China and Sri Lanka, and now, these three places are undoubtedly like the Arabian Nights, the story of the Thousand and One Nights for Europe, and it is hard to believe that these places really exist in this world, including Jonas himself, who called this world so different from the world recorded in history.

However, there are not many sapphires in Europe, which Jonas knows, otherwise such a beautiful gemstone has long been used as an ornament by the girls of aristocratic families, just like those jewelry made of gold, and those necklaces made of diamonds, so Jonas can conclude that this sapphire the size of his fist is definitely worth a lot.

Perhaps, it can be the same as the price of 1/3 of St. George's Palace.

Thinking of this, Jonas also had to admire the Holy See's ability to collect money at this time.

A small bishop can get such a fortune and have such a magnificent church, but what about an archbishop? What about a cardinal? What about the pope?

I can't imagine it.

"Viscount, please maintain the majesty of the Ruger family, Viscount Billrow, and don't lose your dignity. Vig, who was standing aside and followed Jonas to the side, heard his lord's emotion, although he deeply agreed, but Vig's heart still didn't want to see his lord so flattering to money, so he took a decisive action and reminded his greedy lord not to lose the demeanor of a nobleman in front of His Excellency the Bishop, like an ignorant child.

"Vig, didn't you see the jewel in his hand? Jonas was unimpressed by Vig's reminder, and since the wealthy bishop was willing to reveal his wealth in front of him, there must have been his intentions, and no one could say for sure that it did not include his own exclamation.

And whether the brain of a bishop is more intelligent than ordinary people, this is accurate, Jonas does not think that Francisco is just a nouveau riche, or a hypocrite who only likes money, can be in the current position, and can still be loved by the people of Genoa, such a character, is definitely not simple.

"As a knight, I marvel only at the sword that sharpens iron, and the fast horse that travels thousands of miles a day, my lord. “

Vig said majestically, obviously, he did not agree with Jonas's evaluation of this scepter, in his eyes, as a qualified nobleman, he should not have lust for these expensive things, but should concentrate on studying, work hard and in the territory, and then give birth to an heir, let his territory be inherited, and let his children continue to be loyal to the Bierro family in the future, this is what Jonas should care about, this is what Jonas should pay attention to.

Vig's speech naturally attracted Jonas's attention, he glanced sideways at Vig, just in line with Vig's eyes looking at him, Jonas looked at it a few times, listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer in his ears, and finally did not speak, and withdrew his gaze, and walked forward, ready to meet Francisco.

As for Vig, although his ideas are too conservative and make Jonas a little uncomfortable, but as a knight, Vig has such a loyal mentality now, and the traditional ideas are what he needs, otherwise if he turns Vig into a reformist, who knows what deviant things this guy will do, or like this, it's good.

"Your Excellency Bishop Francisco, it is a great honour for me to be willing to receive a little nobleman like me. Walking towards Francisco, Jonas's face was like a spring flower at the moment, the sun was shining, like a sunflower seeing the sun, and his smile was full of warmth, and he walked over to Francisco.

Until he bent down in front of him and saluted, then he grabbed Francisco's hand and gently touched his lips against the bishop's ring, and the whole set of actions looked like a real child, immature, cute, and there was no **** and interest calculation just now.

"It is my pleasure to have you here, Your Excellency Viscount Jonas Bierro, and I am sorry for my tardiness, as you know, as a bishop, the confession of a subject requires persuasion and atonement from every priest. “

Jonas's actions were obviously something that Francisco did not expect, this was just the first time the two of them met, how could this viscount show such an intimate attitude towards himself? With such thoughts, Francisco naturally spoke with a sense of officialdom.

However, as an old politician, Francisco's ability to adjust his mentality is naturally not bad, so after saying polite words, Francisco still spared the topic back, and did not say much nonsense, but said bluntly:

"Mr. Jonas, this is the time when you are needed, and all the nations are waiting for you to relieve their suffering, and the Lamb of God, hungry, is waiting for you to come and find sweet herbs for them, and what is the matter with an old man like me who comes to me at such a busy time?"

"The people need their lords, and even more so God's guidance, Your Excellency. “

Jonas didn't expect Francisco to be so direct, he originally planned to use the reputation of his cheap godfather, Bishop Da Vinx of Milan to earn a little favorability, but this is good, he was directly forced by the other party to the point of face-to-face negotiation of benefits, which is very unfavorable to himself, the party who has a request.

"Oh, hahaha, God's guidance, God can't solve the fact that his people are hungry. “

Francisco laughed and said, his laughter, on the one hand, was that Jonas's funny way of speaking made him happy, and on the other hand, as the head snake of Genaya, he knew the mood of the people in the entire Genoa City at the moment, so he felt even more ridiculous about Jonas's appearance of acting in front of him.

"Your Excellency, how is it that a man as wise as the sea of you would not know that I have come to you, not for the problems of the people's stomachs, but for the problems of their hearts?

In contrast to Francisco's playful ridicule, it was Jonas's wry smile, since people already know what they are here to talk about, then they don't have to hide it, or say what they want, and let the other party offer a price that they can accept.

But before Jonas finished explaining, he only saw Francisco wave his hand, signaling that Jonas didn't have to continue, and when Jonas closed his mouth, Francisco, holding the scepter, squatted on the ground with difficulty, looked into Jonas's eyes, and whispered:

"Viscount Jonas, none of us should pretend, a person like you who can lead troops into Genaya, do you think I will believe that you are just an ordinary child? I will not continue to talk to you with a mask, I only have one condition, I will assign 6,000 acres of land to my family in the suburbs of Sissel outside the city, and I will help you calm down the current chaos in Gennaya, how about it?"

It's blatant to ask me for bribes in front of so many people. Jonas still had a childish smile on his face, but he was quite frightened in his heart, he had never seen such a kind looking person, such a black heart, 6,000 acres of land, this was enough money to buy this dress on his body, and it was recorded in his family's name, not the name of the church, which was really, too ruthless.

"Your Excellency, your offer is too high. Jonas looked at Francisco's eyes and couldn't help but say, this guy is completely black and black, 6,000 acres of land, although it is not his own, but these lands are ownery, and most of them did not flee from Genaya, but stayed here, that is to say, if he wants to take these lands and hand them over to Francisco, he must use administrative energy, but if he really uses the army and administrative energy, his prestige will definitely show a cliff-like decline.

It's impossible for him to do this, but if he doesn't use these violent powers, then he can use it, but he can only buy it with money, this one, for Jonas, is even more heartbroken, so looking at Francisco's eyes now, where is there any sunflower looking at the sun's loving eyes, it is simply the eyes of the ewe protecting the sheep looking at the hound.

"It's not a lot of money compared to what you spend in Genaya. Francisco smiled kindly at Jonas, a standard eight-tooth smile, but in Jonas's eyes, it was like a tiger ready to eat, with its mouth wide open, ready to eat his own ewe.

And what surprised him even more was that he was so secretly manipulating the housing market, Francisco knew very clearly, how powerful these Holy See powers were.

"Your Excellency Francisco, 6,000 acres of land is not something that a small viscount like me can do, and the war I am waging is not for the Birro family, you should go to Count Il, my lord, to talk to Count Il, my lord, instead of bullying a child who is only 8 years old with his own age. Jonas said coldly.

"Haha, you're not an ordinary eight-year-old, Jonas, you're the one who moved into St. George with the army, 6,000 acres of land is an astronomical amount for others, but for you, it's just a small amount of money, and as for the great Sasu ruler, he has his price, hehe. “

Listening to what Francisco said, Jonas couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this guy even wanted to go to Il to extort another sum after blackmailing, this is even more greedy for money than himself.

But thinking about it this way, Jonas is somewhat acceptable to the 6,000 acres in his heart, since the Earl of Il can't escape this money, then even if he pays this money, when there are some deviations in publicity, it will be transferred to Il's head.

"6,000 acres is too much, Your Excellency Bishop, how about 3,000 acres?"

Thinking about it this way, Jonaston had no psychological burden, but he was still unwilling to pay such a large sum of money, so Joonas still had to do such a thing as bargaining, and in the end, the two of them changed from 6,000 acres to 4,500 acres of land, looking at the contract in his hand, Jonas signed his name painfully.

And Francisco, who was on the side, also sighed softly in a place where Jonas couldn't see.

This kid is really hard to deal with. (To be continued.) )
