Chapter 0413: New Year

The first day of 1522 was, for many, nothing more than the beginning of another year.

But for the Cathedral of Reims, it was the first New Year for all of them.

It was also their first year in their new home.

Nock and Leo, the day before the New Year, yesterday afternoon, rushed back to Reims City.

Compared to Angeladi, it is half a day earlier.

Because the two of them were still fifty kilometers from the city of Reims,

Directly abandoned the team and rushed back on Ukao.

This made the abandoned Angeladi angry.

This also led to Nock after putting his daughter and disciple to sleep,

had to sneak into the lord's mansion overnight and fought in the lord's boudoir for a year.

From last year's bloody battle with Angeladi to the morning of the second year.

It is estimated that the two little ones in the family are about to get up, and Nock has to be a thief again.

Back pain climbed the wall back to the cathedral.

Fortunately, Leo and Sophia should also be in a New Year's Eve battle last night,

Church patrols are largely guarded by alarms.

This is not difficult for Nock, after all, almost all of these magic circles are arranged by him.

Even if a few of them weren't, he knew how to crack it.

Therefore, when he slipped home, he was unaware.

even took the time to wash early, and just like everyone, he pretended to open the door refreshed to welcome the New Year.

Of course, the New Year in the West is not the same as in the East.

For them, the Feast of Divine Grace on December 25 is the most important thing for them.

Even in the Black Bull Kingdom, which no longer believes in the Holy Church, their whole country celebrates the Day of Divine Grace.

But the New Year, as the beginning of a new year, is not as valued as Charismatic Day.

But it is also a rare time for people to rest, so it is also one of the major festivals.

If you have to have a ranking, the New Year can be ranked in the top five Western festivals.

For the New Year in the cathedral, everyone went to pray in the morning, led by Leo.

Then we enjoyed a breakfast without any meat.

It's not that Reims Cathedral can't afford to eat meat, it's Nock's own arrangement.

He hoped that in the form of this fast, the personnel of Reims Cathedral, in the coming year,

All away from killing.

Naturally, there was no objection to this.

They all agreed with Nock's idea, and although they knew that it was just an implication, they also hoped to make it happen.

What's more, Nock promised that a big meal would be prepared for dinner,

And everyone must be personally involved in the preparation of the dinner.

Not to mention one dish per person, but at least to participate in the cooking.

Even if it's a barbecue, a porridge, or a bread.

In Nock's words, we can cook badly, but we definitely can't not cook.

Otherwise, once you are in trouble, you will not be able to eat the food in your mouth.

Nock's point of view was unanimously agreed by the Triumvirate of Reims Cathedral.

As for who are the Big Three of Reims Cathedral?

Nock, Leo, Sophia.

Miledi was unhappy with this, clamoring for her to be the Big Four.

It's a pity that Rena has already gone home for the festival before the feast of charisma.

Although she is a probationary nun, she still has to go home for the holidays.

Only when she became an official clergyman, she wanted to see the arrangements of the church for the holidays.

Of course, Nock is not that unapproachable.

Except for Diana, who is not very talkative, the rest of the students went home for the holidays.

But it wasn't Nock who approved it, but Sophia.

At that time, Nock hadn't returned to the cathedral yet!

It stands to reason that this guy Sothos should stay in the cathedral to celebrate the festival with Nock and the others.

But someone licked his face and followed Rena.

Rena is also nervous enough, and she didn't think about her as an unmarried leftover girl at all.

What's wrong with bringing a man home for the holidays. (Note 1)

Rena was going to be a nun, and she certainly hadn't thought about it herself.

As for what Sothos thought, Nock said that after returning from the Holy Court,

Understand what's going on.

Fortunately, Rena is not an official nun now, and her name is not registered on the official list of Reims Cathedral.

If Sothos can really marry this big stupid girl home, Nok can't turn a blind eye.

But if Rena only wants to practice as a nun, Nock can only say sorry.

Not even if your surname is Sotos!

That's right, it's the Sothos outside the city of St. Rome.

Nock didn't know how this kid came to Reims City, after all, he hadn't made it to the Holy Court before.

I don't have a relationship with Sothos.

Today's Reims Cathedral, except for the afternoon will be open for two hours to the people of Reims,

Aside from a Mass presided over by Nock himself, there was no other event.

Now staying in Reims Cathedral for the New Year, except for Nock, Leo, and Sophia,

That is, the two little guys, Milady and Rasti.

As for the other servants, they were all hired by Sophia from the city of Reims.

Originally, Nock was going to use slaves,

But Sophia said that the slave had no worries and a low status, and that if someone used the restored freedom to buy a slave,

That is impossible for Nock and the others to prevent.

Instead, they use the people of the city of Reims, who drag their families with their mouths, even if someone buys them,

Also consider the consequences of the church's investigation after the fact.

So, Nock and Leo adopt Sophia's suggestion.

No, during the New Year's holiday, the originally lively cathedral became empty.

Nok even got up first thing in the morning to activate the vigilance and defensive magic circles of the entire church.

Except for the gate, anyone who enters without telling will become the target of the defensive circle.

What's more, because there are no outsiders in the church during the Chinese New Year.

The cathedral's patrol is free to patrol.

The captain is Miledi, and the vice-captain is Lastie, who was bought by Miledi.

The member and thug is Ukao.

Anyway, as long as they don't go out, the three of Nock are scurrying around the church with a few guys.

Listening to Sophia, Milady and Lastie, even found several secret rooms built by previous generations of church owners.

It's a pity that everything inside has been emptied.

Think about it, except for a sudden death, who leaves office and doesn't take their net worth away?

Lunch was casually dealt with a few times, and it passed.

Because everyone is now in the kitchen preparing the big dinner for the evening.

Of course, after being notified by the men sent by Angeladi, Nock was kicked out of the kitchen.

He was going to bathe and change his clothes, change into a gold-rimmed robe, and prepare to preside over the afternoon mass.

As for the morning, it was the time when Angeladi was making a New Year's declaration to the people of the city.

Basically, as a lord, summarize the achievements of last year's Champagne Collar, and then set a goal for this year.

Anyway, every sentence is inseparable from people's livelihood.

In the words of the aristocracy: all fool mud legs!

After all, the people don't know how much money the territory makes, but they themselves know how much taxes the people pay.

Because of Nock's relationship, many believers in the vicinity of Reims City are attached to the name of Reims Cathedral.

Much fewer tax items are levied.

Angelati didn't care about this at all.

She controls the entire territory of Champagne Territory.

The benefits that Nock brought to her were not comparable to the taxes of the peasants of Reims.

Moreover, the bulk of the tax has always been on the side of the aristocracy.

As long as the nobles don't bother with taxes, she doesn't care about the three melons and two dates.

Anyway, with the lessons of the Julien family and several small families,

Last year's taxes, Angeladi was very satisfied.

The afternoon ceremony was a success.

After all, in the face of the famous Bishop Nock Lane, there is also the tall "Dragon Knight" Leo Gareth.

As long as the brain is not pumped, it will not cause trouble at this time.

Champagne collar is not far from the royal city, what was done in the royal city on the day of the Grace of the Gods,

But it all passed back to the ears of the local nobility.

For this reason, the Kate family regretted their death, and frantically urged Kirby to return to the cathedral,

Celebrate the New Year with Nock and others, but was ruthlessly rejected by Kirby.

Dean Custer had the cheekiness to go through the door once, but he couldn't even get in.

was sent away by Leo: the cathedral is not open during the festival, and there is something to wait until after the festival.

The rejected Custer was annoyed, but helpless.

I can't beat it, and I can't afford to offend it.

But after he was turned away by Leo, he was seen by the spies of which family.

In just a few days, several families began to suppress their Custer family.

If it weren't for the Kate family's Kirby being forcibly tied home by his family, he wouldn't know the attitude of the cathedral,

I'm afraid that the Kate family will also be suppressed.

The patriarch of the Kate family, coercion and temptation, and good words and persuasion, failed to persuade Kirby.

The patriarch even threatened to take him to the cathedral to make amends.

As a result, Kirby said coldly that this is the best,

He directly shook out the fact that the Kate family forced him to leave Reims Cathedral.

and the fact that the Kate family wanted to take the opportunity to step on the occasion of the bad luck of Reims Cathedral was also exposed.

Hearing Kirby's threat, the patriarch was immediately frightened and did not dare to persecute Kebi again.

You can see the lively people on the street who went to Reims Cathedral to attend New Year's Mass,

The Kate family is very awkward.

I want to participate, but I am afraid that I will lose face in front of the people in the church.

Then there is really no chance of redemption at all.

But if they don't go, will other families misunderstand that they have been abandoned when they see that the Kate family does not appear?

What the Kate family thinks, Nock and the others don't care.

And at the end of the Mass, looking at the crowd that was about to disperse,

Nock loudly announced something else with his mana.

"Everyone, please wait. Today, we have another happy event to share with you.

If you are not in a hurry to go home, please stay a little longer.

Today, I will be the officiant and marry a couple!

Please join them in witnessing the beginning of their happiness!

Mr. Leo Gareth and Ms. Sofia, please! ”

"Wow! Oh, my God! I was able to get a marriage witness from Father Lane in person! So blissful! ”

A noble lady who had followed her parents out to see the excitement exclaimed in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, her mother said quietly: "It's just the marriage of Bishop Lane's subordinates."

If you can climb into Bishop Lane's bed and become his lover, that's true happiness! ”

"Mother~" The aristocratic woman complained to her mother in shame,

Can such humiliating words be said in public?

Even if their location is an aristocratic district, there are many nobles nearby.

There are even many women's "old enemies".

But the woman didn't know that her worries were unnecessary.

Because the parents and brothers of other noble women were saying similar things to them.

Who made the lord of Champagne a woman, and had no sons.

The man with the most distinguished status in the champagne collar is Nock Lane on the stage.

Not to mention, the other party has such achievements at a young age.

At least a cardinal in the future, shepherding one side.

There is a son-in-law who is like a feudal official, isn't it going to be sent!

Although the bishop cannot marry, he can have illegitimate children!

The mother is more valuable than the child, and the child can inherit the family in the future, and may even inherit the father's business.

In the future, their family will also have the opportunity to become a clerical family!

Thinking like this, countless people looked at the handsome young man on the stage with green eyes.

To be a lover to such a good-looking man with status,

It's not impossible.

Even when the other party leaves, he can secretly raise a few faces,

Isn't it better than getting married!

If they have children, even their families can be decided by them!

"Note 1: Noble women are engaged at the age of 12 or 3, married at the age of 16 or 7, and commoners are about 18 to 20."
