-70- The Academy's Vision (Happy New Year's Day)
The ethereal chant is beautiful and dreamy, and the brilliant holy light is sacred and majestic.
In the prayer room of the North Harbor Church, Charlotte, dressed in a white dress, sits in front of the statue of Lord Harald, folds her hands and closes her eyes in prayer.
Looking at the young earl bathed in holy light, the priests of the royal court church showed excitement, and they drew a ring cross on their chests, secretly praising the sacred.
A godly lord often means a growing faith, especially for the church that is declining in the Northland.
If there is anyone in the Liberty Territory of Beigang who is most expected and loyal to this young Earl at this moment, it is probably these priests.
In their eyes, the holy light on the girl's body was so dazzling, almost the same as the legendary saint.
Coupled with the various rumors in the Northland some time ago and Charlotte's severe crackdown on the blood demon forces in recent days, in their opinion, the girl is simply a pious and loyal preacher, saving the "saints" of the Northern Church......
After a long time, the light faded and the chant slowly stopped.
Charlotte opened her eyes slightly, and a faint light flashed in the depths of the child's hole, and her expression also showed a bit of satisfaction and pleasure.
And this almost overflowing pleasure fell on the eyes of the priests, and it confirmed the piety and fanaticism, and the priests' eyes at Charrot became even more burning.
"Praise the holy!"
Charlotte stretched out her right hand and drew a ring cross on her chest, then gratefully greeted the idol.
"Praise the holy!"
The priests also showed excitement on their faces, bowing along with Charlotte's movements, their voices neat and reverent.
Only Lottie, the temporary presiding priest of the Northport Church, looked away unnaturally, looking at the priests with a faint sympathy in the depths of their eyes.
The daily prayer was already Charlotte's daily routine to replenish the divine power of blood with the power of holy light.
Although it is only a little bit at a time, it is also a source of divine power that accumulates into a small stream.
Her gratitude to the great god Harald every time......
It all came from the heart.
At the end of the service, Charlotte rose to her feet with Shirley's support, and the priests gathered in droves.
Charlotte's gaze fell on these priests, smiled slightly, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, how did you think about my previous proposal?"
The priests looked at each other, and then said respectfully:
"Lord Earl, I think what you said is very reasonable, the Northland is no more than other places, and we know that it is extremely difficult to spread the faith of the gods here, everything must be done gradually......"
"Yes, the church has long since lost its roots in Castel, and not only that...... There is also a large number of unbelievers and heretics who are hostile to the Church in the Northland, and it may not be a good idea to spread the glory of our Lord by forceful means. ”
"We very much agree with the gentle policy you mentioned, if they can truly feel the light and kindness of the church, they will eventually be touched by the influence one day......
Looking at the clergy of the church who all agreed with her, Charlotte showed a bright and charming smile and said gently:
"Then we need to ask everyone to restart the church school is the first attempt, and the Castel family will be responsible for all the funds of the church school."
"However, considering the public's perception of the church, I propose that the reopened church school no longer be named 'church', but directly called 'Northland College', how about it?"
"This ......"
After listening to Charlotte's words, the priests looked at each other, but thinking of the current predicament of the church in Castel, they finally agreed:
"Everything...... All at your command. ”
Charlotte's smile was gentler:
"Then then, we need your continued support, there is no one in the entire Miriaa Continent who is more suitable to serve as a tutor for general education and etiquette classes than the priests, and after the school reopens, you must be busy."
"Praise the holy, this is the proper righteousness! And being a mentor is also more convenient to point out the direction of young souls! ”
The priests have corrected their ways.
After some discussion, the remaining priests in the church were arranged by Charlotte to teach in the "Northland Academy", which was scheduled to be reopened.
Before leaving, all the priests were looking forward to it, and they were full of hope for the future in the near future.
Looking at the departing backs of the priests, Charlotte smiled at the corner of her mouth.
She turned her head and looked at Lottie, the priest who had been silent on the side, and asked leisurely:
"Lottie, how's that? What do you think of my handling? ”
Lottie looked strange, she sighed softly, and said:
"It's you...... It easily diverted the attention of all the priests and made them usable labor. ”
"General education and etiquette classes are the most boring and boring courses for students everywhere, and at the same time, they are the busiest, and once they become teachers, they probably don't have much energy to preach......
"Not only that, but reopening the church school is the wish of many church clergy in the Northland, but ...... Depending on your attitude, whether it is a 'church college' or a 'castle's college' is not necessarily the case. ”
Listening to Lottie's answer, Charlotte smiled and was noncommittal.
In the days since the censorship began, she has been thinking about what else she can do now, and adhering to the idea of "a 100-year plan, education-oriented", she feels that in the long run, she must first grasp this aspect.
This was also part of her efforts to consolidate her rule and spread her faith in the future.
"You're right, I do have plans for that, and not only that...... If the academy is really restarted, I still have the idea of teaching all the children of the nobles in the realm to the academy in the future. ”
Charlotte said.
Lottie hesitated and said:
"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, the nobles have their own lineage and private teachers, except for those who want to become noble priests, in fact, few of them go to church colleges. ”
Charlotte laughed:
"It's just an idea, the road ahead is very long, and the main thing for the priests in the North is to find something to do."
"Whoever controls education controls the discourse of thought, and if you want to build the Northland into a solid foundation, this aspect must be strengthened."
Lottie's heart moved slightly:
"Lord Charlotte, you ...... Are you planning to start a mission? ”
Charlotte thought for a moment and said:
"Let's take precautions for the time being."
After discussing with Lottie the details of the rebuilding of the "Church College" in the Northlands, which had been closed for many years, Charlotte returned to the Earl's Court after collecting the wool of the god today.
However, as soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw the captain of the North Port City Guard, led by the deacon of the mansion, hurrying up:
"Lord Earl, the city guards have something important to report!"
As he spoke, the captain of the city guard handed over a makeshift parchment with both hands.
The maid Shirley took the parchment roll and put it into Charlotte's hand, Charlotte picked it up and browsed it, her expression moved slightly, and her face was surprised:
"The Ness Clan? Mission? ”
