Chapter 17: The Idea of the Church

Along the way, they dodged the virtual pursuers, and several others, including Sinampe and Theresa, came to the port of Masaac again. It's just that unlike the last time Toyoaki came here to negotiate with the Sailis fleet, this time they became hapless fugitives - although he was accompanied by three girls, he was actually a fugitive.

Sinan Pei still didn't have any real sense of this matter, after all, a week ago, he was still a capable leader in the kingdom. This futile change of identity is not something that few people are quick to accept.

And he didn't expect that in this port city, there would be people who would come to meet them.

He was a priest in a black robe.

"Hello, Mr. Si. "A priest who looked fairly young had sneaked into the city and had somehow managed to locate them and appear before them.

Sinampei subconsciously made a defensive move, he protected the girls behind him, and then stared at the comer with a wary face: "What, the local church also has to obey the king's order and arrest me back?"

"Oh, we have nothing to do with the worldly king, so you better not be nervous. The young priest motioned for Sinampe to calm down, "My name is Jean RenΓ©, and I am the one who has come to meet you. ”

"Take it easy, Division. Theresa patted Sinampei's shoulder from behind. She stepped forward and looked the young priest up and down, "I can't believe that the Magicians' Guild will have a day to cooperate with the Church." ”

"I think you're misunderstanding something, there are a few magicians who don't represent the Wizards' Guild. And the people who informed me that I had come to meet you just happened to be the same goal as ours. Jean shook his head.

"Why don't I understand, Your Highness......" Sinan Pei muttered.

"I'll explain it to you later, Si. Theresa turned back and smiled at Sinampei, "I can escape this time." Or please Master Arue......"

"It always felt like we were all led by the nose by the nose. Sinampei had an inexplicable bitter feeling.

Theresa did not respond to Sinampei's emotion. She turned her gaze to the young priest: "I can guess what Arue thinks, but what are you here for? Don't say you don't knowβ€”I know very well that you represent His Majesty the Pope." ”

"What a sharp insight, Your Highness the Duchess. The young priest bowed, "However, I am only in charge of bringing this Mr. Si from Seris to Roman City." I don't know anything else. ”

β€œ...... Is it just to bring Si to Roman City?" Hilmelia couldn't help but interject.

"Maybe there's something special about Mr. Si. Jean smiled, "His Majesty the Pope attaches great importance to him. Of course, we will welcome his companions, whether it is Her Royal Highness the Duchess or you as a witch. ”

Sinampei frowned. Could it be ...... And because of Sybil's prophecy? To be honest, he was about to have enough. It's not that comfortable to be treated like a marionette.

"If it weren't for the fact that I have nowhere to go now, I would really like to change my mind. Theresa snorted, "You look so bored with this face. ”

"Don't you have a piece of land north of Saranil? it's a whole county. Sinampei asked in a low voice.

Of course, he didn't expect to be that close. These words can be deceived by the ears of the young bishop in front of him.

"But I got nothing from that land except a pittance of taxes, and the management of the city was in the hands of the Autonomous Council. Theresa became frustrated at the mention of this, "And that tax is probably only enough for our daily expenses." ”

However, the "daily expenses" in Theresa's mouth can refer to the lifestyle of the aristocracy......

"That's enough. Sinan Pei tugged at her sleeve, "Believe me, I can double this money a year." ”

"Nope. That's not enough. Theresa said astonishingly, "I can't recruit many troops." It can't get any fame. And, no matter where we are, the taxes we get from there will not change in the slightest. Choosing to live there or somewhere else is actually the same. And if you do go there, you might end up annoying the locals. Father, we will go with you to Roman City. ”

Sinampei's jaw was about to fall off. At that moment, Sinan Pei saw that his hostess Wang Ba's qi was leaking. Shock ...... Well, that's not the case here. However, Sinan Pei was indeed surprised by the momentum that burst out of this petite body.

Kara and Hillelia were rather indifferent, as if they were accustomed to the occasional display of Theresa's temperament.

"Army?Theresa, you ......"

"Si, don't make a fuss. A private soldier is indispensable. Theresa shook her head, "They can give us a little ...... Security. When she said this, she couldn't help but reveal a little loneliness.

Is there a lack of security...... Sinan Pei was speechless. He, like Theresa, didn't feel the slightest reassurance in this world.

Whether it was the threat of war or the pressure from those in charge, it scared him. Maybe he doesn't usually feel it, but every time he meditates late at night, he is always completely grabbed by this feeling.

"The right choice, Your Highness. Jean bowed again, "Holy Roman City will welcome you." Roman City will not only give you the security you want, but also the opportunities you will have in the future. ”

"Are you a guarantee?" Theresa stared into Jean's eyes.

"Of course. For His Majesty the Pope is more than happy to grant you asylum. Jean smiled, "But it's ......."

"But what? Just say it bluntly. Theresa frowned slightly.

"His Majesty hopes that Mr. Si will be able to exert his full power in Roman City. Jean turned his gaze to Sinampei.

Sinan Pei narrowed his eyes and looked at him as well.

It seems that the church knows a lot about itself...... However, Sinan Pei couldn't guess whether the church knew that he was a tourist from another world.

"All the power......" Theresa took a deep breath.

"Mr. Si has too few opportunities to show in Nanpei, because of the king's ideas, his talents cannot be fully developed. "A secular monarch is not able to fully understand the value of Mr. Si, and we know. ”

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I think I'm not going to be famous until now, and I'm afraid it's because of myself. Sinampei shrugged, "But since His Majesty the Pope has invited me so kindly, then I have no reason to refuse - I will follow the Duchess to Roman City." (To be continued......)
