Wallace sat in his chair for a few moments before he came to his senses and continued to crouch over his desk to sign papers.

An hour later, Wallace signed the stack of papers on his desk before he got up and left the office.

Wallace arrived at the gate of the General Police Station and rode to the Cathedral of the Mechanical Church in a steam carriage.

He sat in the carriage and thought carefully about whether he should accept the knighthood, whether he should go to the capital of the Bauhinia Kingdom, and whether this knighthood would be a trap or a conspiracy of the Mechanical Church.

Wallace felt that this time the knighthood, the mechanical church would have a plan nine times out of ten, as for whether it was a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it was unknown for the time being.

"Forget it, no matter if he is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, I will break it with a sword!"

Wallace sat in the carriage, his mind constantly analyzing.

The steam carriage sped down the avenue of the church district, and after about six minutes, Wallace finally arrived at the only cathedral in Hangenteren County, the Mechanical Church Cathedral in the Charismatic Quarter of the Church District.

Tall bronze arched gate with two more bronzes in front of the door with gears and steam motifs on them.

A three-tiered staircase made of large bluestone, and a mechanical church emblem carved above the door.

The emblem of the Church of the Machines has a gear in the center, a hammer on the left side of the gear, a pliers on the right, three flames below the gear, and a steam pattern above the gear.

As Wallace stepped into the cathedral, it was as if he had stepped into the kingdom of God, with a raised blue dome painted with the sun, moon and stars above them.

At Wallace's feet is a large bluestone with mechanical patterns carved into it, and beside him is a silver-gray stone wall with the teachings of the Church carved on the wall.

Directly in front of Wallace is a huge statue of the god of steam and machinery, with flying angel figurines on the left and right.

As soon as Wallace entered, a priest in a black robe greeted him, and the young male priest smiled and looked at him and asked softly:

"Policeman, did you come to church on business?"

After Wallace took out his ID from his pocket, he also smiled and said, "I am the Chief Inspector of Scarlett City Police Station, my name is Wallace, and this is my ID."

I'm here for you archbishop, take me there, or you go and tell me, I'll wait here. ”

After the young priest took the certificate and examined it, he returned it to Wallace, then looked at Wallace deeply, and said respectfully:

"Okay, then please come with me, and I will take you to the archbishop. ”

The middle-aged priest walked ahead, and he led Wallace from the exit on the right side of the main hall to the side hall.

There was no one in the side hall, not even a statue of the god of steam and machinery, just a middle-aged man in a purple robe sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

This must be Martin Soryl, the purple-clad archbishop of the Church of Machinery.

The young priest walked quickly to the purple-clothed archbishop and whispered, "Hello archbishop! This is the chief police governor of Hanlun Telun County, and he said that he has something to see you. ”

The purple-clothed archbishop slowly opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Wallace in front of him and said, "Welcome to the Inspector of the Mechanical Church, do you have any business?"

"I have something to ask you, what happened to this knighthood?"

Wallace frowned and asked in a rather unkind tone.

After hearing this, the purple-clothed archbishop hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Chief Inspector, do you know, there is a rule in the Bauhinia Kingdom that a fifth-order legendary transcendent will be canonized as an earl, a sixth-order epic transcendent will be canonized as a marquis, and a seventh-order demigod will be canonized as a duke.

This is the rule established by the royal family and the church at the beginning of the kingdom, the chief sheriff, since you are a demigod, the kingdom will naturally canonize you as a duke, and when you are canonized, the pope himself will confer the knighthood on you. ”

Wallace's face softened slightly, and then asked, "What about the duties I need to perform after being canonized as a duke?"

"Well, the kingdom also has regulations, according to the regulations, the duke must establish a grand duchy, and the royal family must be supported for generations and cannot rebel.

And once the kingdom is at war or facing a crisis, you must send troops to help, but the kingdom should give you a county fiefdom and let you establish a grand duchy, which is a good thing. ”

After the purple-clothed archbishop finished speaking, his face showed envy.

Wallace looked at him and asked, "What about the exact time of the knighthood? Is there anything I need to prepare? Are there any taboos?"

After thinking about it carefully, the purple-clothed archbishop said softly: "The specific time is to prepare at half past seven in the morning the day after tomorrow, and start on time at eight o'clock, you don't need to prepare anything, you just need to arrive early."

If you go to the royal capital tomorrow, you can go to the cathedral of the mechanical church in the royal capital, and the cardinal church will receive you in person, I don't know the specific taboo, but the cardinal should know. ”

"Okay, I know, I'll set off today, and I will definitely go to the royal capital tomorrow. ”

After Wallace finished speaking, he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

The purple-clothed archbishop said, "I'll send someone with you, forget it, I'll go with you, it just so happens that I'm going to go to the royal capital to report to the cardinal about the recent situation in Hanlun Telun County." ”

"Well...... Well, I'll go to the royal capital with you. ”

Wallace hesitated, but after some consideration, he agreed.

Wallace originally wanted to fly to the royal capital and take a look at Anna on the way, but he didn't expect the mechanical church to be so jealous of him.

The purple-clothed archbishop still wants to supervise him, and he is afraid that he will not go, so forget it, it is better to wait for the matter of knighthood to be over, and then go to see Anna.

Wallace thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go and inform the coachman first, and we'll set off later." ”

"Okay!"

The purple-clothed archbishop nodded slightly in response.

Wallace walked out of the church and came to the gate, and shouted to the coachman in the steam carriage. "You go back, let the housekeeper take care of the manor, by the way, you go and inform the housekeeper, let him go to the chief police station, and say that I will go to the Bauhinia Royal Capital." Let's go!"

"Yes!"

When the coachman saw that Wallace had finished speaking, he immediately answered.

Just as the purple-robed archbishop also stepped out, and a bronze steam carriage came to the gate.

"Chief Inspector, please get in the car first!"

The purple-robed archbishop pointed to the steam horse driveway.

Wallace didn't answer, and went straight into the carriage and sat down, and then the purple-clothed archbishop also entered the carriage and sat down.

After passing the west gate of the town, the steam carriage came to the port wharf, where a steamship was parked. After buying the tickets, the two entered the cabin.

Ten minutes later, the steamer was moving.........
