Chapter 20: The Pope's Conspiracy

Yang Yang saw that the Pope's face was not good, so naturally he didn't bargain anymore, and obediently led twenty maids to take Sissi to leave. When Yang Yang walked out of the church with Sissi, the remaining 464 of the five hundred knights were already on standby. Seeing Yang Yang walking out in a divine envoy robe, the chief knight hurriedly walked forward to salute, and then said:

"Your Majesty, according to the instructions of the headquarters, we will take it as our lifelong mission to protect your safety in the future. Please indicate what we are going to do next?"

The crown is a unique title for the divine envoy, and the knight chief John has been notified of Yang Yang's title before, so he will be called so. Yang Yang waved his hand and motioned for the knight to grow up:

"There are no instructions, everyone has been dismissed, why are we staying here? ”

Yang Yang took out the letter of appointment and handed it to the chief knight, and the chief knight saw the address on the letter of appointment and received the order to prepare.

After a while, the chief knight had already prepared the men and horses under Yang Yang's orders, and arranged the twenty holy maidens in ten carriages. Then Yang Yang and Qian Qian were still sitting in the carriage when they came, and the group went out of the city in a mighty way. Sitting in the carriage, Yang Yang recalled the scene of meeting the Pope just now and what the Pope said, and he seemed to understand something.

After all, this is a place where religion is founded, and the pope is the de facto ruler of the country. Now there is one more divine envoy, and the divine envoy is, to put it bluntly, the spokesman of the gods in the world, and the pope is just the supreme leader of the church.

This would inevitably threaten the papal dominance, which had been passed down by word of mouth from pope to generation. Now that a positive result has been obtained, it is not realistic to let it go, what if the divine envoy comes back to seek revenge in the future?

If he doesn't mix well in the future, then he can't threaten the Pope's rule so far away in the border city, and if he mixes well, he can also say openly that this is the meaning of the gods, and the oracle left by the gods is to cultivate you, and I am cultivating your ability at that time.

At least you're doing a good job now to prove that I'm doing the right thing, and from the fact that the Pope doesn't even mean to stay in the main city for one night, it proves that the Pope is very jealous of his title of oracle. I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble this night, after all, the city has been controlled by religion for a very, very long time, and the inhabitants here are the most devout believers. If they knew that the oracle was in the city, they would probably kneel outside the church all night praying.

Yang Yang still understands this kind of mellow political struggle method, no matter how the outcome develops, he will not be affected, but only benefits, no harm. From the bottom of his heart, Yang Yang has already scolded the eighteen generations of the Pope's ancestors, and Yang Yang has not thought about whether to go back and surprise the Pope after thinking about all this.

But he thought about it again: after all, his wings are not yet full, and he can't be hard with the Pope. Even if he runs back to the city now and shouts that he is an oracle, it is estimated that no one will believe it, and it is more likely that he will be executed as a heretic. The pope will not accept his status unless he is accompanied by the pope, but this seems unlikely.

At this time, Yang Yang was not in a hurry or angry, after all, the Pope had already given him enough benefits, and he would not talk about his vain title. Just because of a fable that he may achieve high achievements in the future, and then let a man with the most power in the continent take the initiative to bow down?

Not to mention now, even if Yang Yang is really old enough to resist everything, he will not be arrogant enough to ban the pope. After all, people have been operating here for tens of thousands of years, and it is not his influence alone that can be subverted.

The group bumped on the road for about a month and finally arrived at the last town on the edge of the designated place, at this time everyone was exhausted, because Yang Yang was a clergyman and had a special status and the honorary badge of the highest rank of the church issued by the Pope himself, so the supplies used by the post stations they passed along the way were free of money, which made Yang Yang feel a little better. Otherwise, these more than 500 people eat, drink, and Lazar every day, he really can't resist, he is poor and nothing, and he has nothing to feed so many people?

Yang Yang jumped down from the carriage, walked to the guard officers, and the garrison saluted solemnly after seeing Yang Yang's Medal of Honor and the uniform he was wearing on behalf of the Holy See, and said:

"Your Majesty, we have received a letter from the Holy See a few days ago informing us that you will be here in the near future. The endless grasslands behind you will be your territory, and this is the last stop on the way to the mainland. If you have any instructions, please instruct!"

Yang Yang stood in front of the guard, stretched out his hand and stroked the guard's head and said:

"May God bless you, my child. ”

Then Yang Yang turned to look behind him, and found that his territory was really endless, and Nima didn't see any hair at a glance. There is not a decent town, but there is a lot of wildlife, and the scene is a bit like the African savannah!

"Are there any other towns in my territory?" Yang Yang was unwilling, and then asked the guards.

The guard was also very honest, and he was busy with his forehead for a long time and said:

"Lord Hui, there is a small town called Hemudu in your territory, but because of the perennial bandits, it is estimated that there are no more people living there. ”

Yang Yang really couldn't cry or laugh after hearing the guard's answer, okay, return to the pre-liberation period overnight. I didn't expect the Pope to be so cunning, he didn't even leave a decent place for himself, and said that he had a special identity to have his own palace and territory, Nima, you are going to give one.

Although Yang Yang had a lot of grievances, it was obviously useless to tell a guard about this. Yang Yang had no choice but to smile bitterly and glance at the guards who got into the car and prepared to go to the uninhabited town, the guards watched a team of knights pass by them with envy, but they didn't understand why they were assigned to a place where birds like him didn't. Although I didn't understand, I still respectfully performed the knightly salute.

After walking for about half a day, I finally arrived at the town that the guards said. After Yang Yang entered the town, he used thunder and lightning to slash several times in a row, hoping to find a few figures with a loud noise, but unfortunately he was disappointed, there was really no one here. It's good that way, and it saves a lot of trouble.

There are a lot of houses here, enough for the people he brought to live. Yang Yang searched for a long time and found a slightly larger courtyard, which seemed to be the place where the village chief lived in the past, because next to the house, you could see the only building in the village related to the Holy See.

In this central building of state power, the church is always around, Yang Yang looked at the dilapidated church next to him, and he was really not interested in going in and visiting. The knights under their command insisted that they wanted to live in the church, and their reason was that they were the knights who guarded the church, so naturally they could not leave the church too far. Yang Yang couldn't resist them, so he went with them.

It didn't take long for Yang Yang's "palace" to be cleaned up. Those saints were obviously pampered and would not follow the dilapidated churches to observe any doctrines, and their reasons were also very good, they were there wherever the divine envoys were.

Yang Yang looked at these saints who were not big in stature and had amazing food, and they really wanted to strangle them, and they all had the urge to strangle them, it seems that women everywhere like to eat this, which is really true.

After everything was cleaned up, Yang Yang took Sissi to take a walk outside the city, and told the knights to take care of their belongings. After all, the amount of food for 500 people is still very large, and what can I do to feed them if I leave the Holy See?

Yang Yang took Qianqian out not all for a walk, mainly to see what resources can be used around? If you don't want to find a way to make some economy, you may have to rob it, thinking of robbing, Yang Yang suddenly had an idea and seemed to have grasped the key.

But when I came out to take a look at Siye, I found that there were no decent tribes around to rob at all, and the only place that could be robbed was the main city that I encountered when I came, but if I let the church know that the divine envoy took a group of paladins to rob my own people, then it would be okay? Thinking that this method would not work, Yang Yang had to find another way.

After a while, Yang Yang took Qian Qian to a big river. Yang Yang saw that the river was not wide, the water flow was okay and not urgent, and it could be seen from the map that this should be the only main river in the north and south of the Kanto. This is a natural division between the location of the human kingdom and the territory of the barbarians, and the mountains behind are the places where the barbarians live.

Barbarians are different from humans in that they are tall and ferocious in appearance and not highly civilized. It looks more like an ape, but has a certain level of civilization. The barbarians have lived by hunting for generations, living in the area as tribes. In the past, when the Holy See was crusading eastward, the barbarians were a big obstacle, because these guys had very low combat effectiveness on the plains, but when they went to the deep forest, they were very scary, and after several hard battles, the Holy See found that it was thankless, and the most important thing was that the barbarians were very poor, and there was no oil and water to rob, and then they gave up.

The barbarians themselves did not dare to cross the river to rob the humans, and the humans did not bother to care about them, so they survived in peace. Yang Yang thought about the little armed force in his hand, it was better not to look for himself, it was boring, the Holy See had no such strength and could not do anything, wouldn't it be ugly to go by himself?

Yang Yang looked around, a barren place, thinking about the seeds of the melon that he had been preserving Yang Yang sighed, it seems that this may be the only way out for his future economic development. I don't know if this thing can grow in this area, Yang Yang has already conducted experiments before, this kind of melon can be mixed with a certain proportion of oil and a wick to burn the lighting, and the brightness is very high, at least much better than the oil refined from animal fat used by civilians now.

Yang Yang believes that as long as this crop can be produced in large quantities, his own candle sales should be high, and there will be no economic problems at that time. But most of the people he brought were paladins, and how many of them could engage in agriculture? Yang Yang himself was also a half-ass, and he had never been in contact with the planting industry, so he was naturally a layman.
