To be honest, Sinampei didn't have much hope for Henry's character, after all, he was a typical king who had been on the throne for almost his whole life, and he would definitely drive his children to death when he thought it was necessary - Sinampe had no doubt about the possibility of this.

But from an analytical point of view, it is still necessary to take into account Theresa's influence on Henry...... The Pope definitely has this intention, using Theresa's identity to suppress the Capetian people's covetousness of Lelan City, and at the same time using Theresa's legitimacy to eliminate the Emperor's excuse for interfering in Lelan City.

Meantime...... It may not be that he has not taken advantage of his own possibilities - Sinampei thought. He had even seen the pope's attention to his inventions.

The Pope had realized how much his invention could bring to Eugenia, just as Mr. Zhen Nanzhu had done with the reform of the Selman Empire's navy.

At the very least, these inventions could be used to deal with the commercial republics, and if nothing else, glass alone would be enough to put enough pressure on Adria and Jenova.

The church has a good hand to calculate, but this is really an upright conspiracy, and Sinampei and Theresa still have to follow the baton of the church.

"You don't have to worry too much, Division. Old Man Clément reassured him, "Since we will keep the power of the Emperor and the Capetians away from Leland, then the Church will not interfere in that place either. His Holiness is only thinking about maintaining the balance of power. If the church intervenes there, I am afraid that the Litian Sect Alliance, which has been maintained with great difficulty on the entire continent, will collapse in an instant. Our greatest enemy at the moment is the Selman Empire - His Majesty the Pope has a much longer vision than you might think. ”

Sinampe glanced at Varangi and Kuran and understood a lot. I'm afraid they were so happy when they heard Clement's promise that the church would not intervene there.

To be sure, Sinampei has a good opinion of many of the monks in the church, but he has little affection for the church itself...... Like the end-of-the-world Catholic Church on Earth, the current Church of the Celestial Church is sliding into the abyss of deterioration and decay. The Pope may be a capable man, but he can't change that—just as a man can't change his fate.

It would be fine if the Litian Church was still just a simple religious organization, but since it overwhelmed the royal power and became the supreme authority of the entire Litian Church, this was unavoidable. Among the kingdoms, there are many cities and villages. Their rulers were not even feudal aristocrats, but various bishops, who were both clergy and secular lords, just like the Pope ruled over the city of Roman.

Once it is related to power and interests, then corruption and depravity are almost inevitable, and it is not a matter to buy and sell clergy and indulgences, and in many places the clergy even openly ripped off the skin of morality and turned into a demon in the eyes of the people. The most terrible thing is that there is no one to restrain and supervise them, even the king's church is in the hands of the church, and who can resist them?

Although there is no shortage of truly respectable people in the Church, and although the current pope has been reforming since taking office, this general trend is inevitable.

"In other words, I'm really in charge when Leland City falls, right?" Sinampe looked at Varangi and Couran.

Varangi thought for a long time. Only then gritted his teeth and said, "If you can really solve those problems for us, I can guarantee that the city council will not hold you back." ”

This guarantee is somewhat vague and weak. However, Si Nanpei knew that he could only guarantee that he would get to this point. Nodding, he looked at Curran again.

"The citizens have no complaints about the rule of the Auvergnes, who ruled the golden age of Leland compared to the dark rule brought about by the Municipal Council. Curran replied.

"Good. Sinan Pei breathed a long sigh of relief, and it could be seen from the faces of the two of them that Lelan City. At the very least, the current city of Lelan will obey the orders of outsiders like him and Theresa.

"So......" Sinampei couldn't help but rub his hands and laugh, "Father Clément, do you think His Majesty the Pope can lend me his guard?"

Then both Varangi and Kuran were frightened, and only the person to whom Sinampe was questioned. Father Clément nodded indifferently: "I'm afraid the Pope's direct guard can't do it, but the 1,800 mercenaries can still make it up for you - the church can afford all their expenses, as long as you can solve the problem of Lelan City." ”

"That's good. Sinampei shrugged his shoulders, "You guys are really, you don't tell people about the situation when you come to ask for ......."

"You got it?" said Varangi, surprised.

"Say, is it the Emperor, Adria, or Genova who gave you a formal warning?" Sinampe sighed, such a thing can be thought of with his toes, Lelan City is not only suffering from its own financial problems, if it is only financial and its own management problems, Sinampe believes that those plutocrats would rather let Lelan City rot than return her to the hands of the Auvergne family.

"The Emperor and Jenova...... And Capet -- I mean Henry in the South. But Cape's warning came last. "As we were on our way to the town of Aliai, Henry sent a messenger to deliver a letter to our lodging place, saying......"

"What did he say?" Si Nanpei was stunned, he really didn't expect that there was a king's business here.

"He said that he wished that we would seriously consider the question of the House of Auvergne, though the countess had betrayed Capet with a pagan by refusing the marriage arranged for her by her guardian...... But he was still willing to shelter her. At first we thought it was just an excuse for him to interfere with Saranyi, but ......" Varangie glanced slightly awkward at the second floor and lowered her voice, "but we now know that the Countess is her daughter. To be honest, we really can't figure out what the hell is going on. ”

"Don't say you can't figure it out, I'm a little confused. "Sinan Pei sighed, King, seeing that you killed the nobles so neatly and neatly, when you touched your daughter, you really softened your heart? This still makes people a little unbelievable.

But the Pope was right, and he might have even known about it before forcing himself and Theresa to take over Leland.

"These people are really more than one by one...... The egg hurts. Sinampei thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a suitable adjective. (To be continued......)
