Over the next few days, one thing after another.

Immersed in the sudden joy, the businessmen asked the Financial Services Department one after another.

I was told that the kingdom would first open the teleportation magic circle connected to Yugudral, and that the merchant could use the teleportation after paying a certain fee, which by the way was a one-way teleportation for the pit father, which meant that if you wanted to come back, you would have to pay for it.

However, the kingdom does not guarantee the safety of teleporters during teleportation, and everyone who comes to inquire will be informed that they will be affected by the power of time and space during teleportation, and that their lives are in danger without a certain physical strength.

This makes most businessmen have a problem, although wealth is important, life is also precious.

Just when many businessmen hesitated about this, another shocking news came.

The merchants of the Saint-Quentin Mercantile Exchange were the first to attempt the transmission, and it was successful.

But what specific method was used, the merchants of the exchange were silent.

This stimulated other merchants like chicken blood, asking around, and some merchants even swore that they must have magician qualifications or warriors with certain mortal strength in the merchants to succeed.

But unfortunately, according to the rumors, the exchange merchant is trying to transmit to ordinary businessmen.

Rumor arose that the traders of the exchange had raised money to buy enough magic items to protect themselves.

Many people believed this, so many people patronized the alchemy shop, so that the sale of alchemy items was in short supply for a while.

Derek's success has left others behind.

The way for the merchants of the commodity exchange to succeed was, of course, Solomon's idea to build a huge magic sealing box, and with the effect of space magic technology, the actual space inside could reach the size of an entire warehouse, enough for a single person to stay in it for a long time without worrying about being suffocated.

Derek had gone with another merchant as an attempter, and according to the Academy's estimation when it was built, this modified self-sealing magic chest, even if it was made so large and had a warehouse-like space inside, would only be enough to protect three people from plane travel at most.

If this number is out, once there is a loss of time during the teleportation process, it is very likely that the teleportation will not be able to arrive, and it will suffocate in the sealed box.

This method is kept secret from the traders of the commodity exchange for the time being, of course, it will not be kept secret for long, and perhaps the truth will be discovered in a few days.

Whether it's the huge box itself that will be placed in the teleportation array when teleporting, or the people who are interested, there will always be other methods, such as bribing the mages who are responsible for the maintenance of the kingdom's teleportation array, and getting the news from them can't be hidden for too long.

But Kindleberger and Derek they just want these days, and the business opportunity is like this, you are one day early, you may eat meat, and one day later you may only have to drink soup.

However, this way of traveling was not very pleasant, and Solomon did not lie to Derrick.

Although the merchants would not be harmed by the protection of the Sealed Box, they would have to stay in such a large tank for at least seven or eight hours when they fell into a state of time loss.

Sullenness can be annoying, but even more terrifying, the merchant inside doesn't know when the time loss will end, and it is difficult to keep track of the time when staying inside, because when teleporting, even the magic timer will be disturbed by the power of time and space.

Merchants could only use the oldest method of carrying an hourglass with them and counting the hourglass again and again.

This is the businessmen taking risks in the exploration, as well as the open and secret fighting.

However, Asturias was destined to be unquiet from then on, and the merchants' adventurous attempts at dimensional trade were nothing more than a child's in comparison to the events that followed.

In a startling move, the royal guards, led by the chief of the royal guard, searched several churches outside the city of Saint-Quentin on the orders of the king, and the results were unbelievably evil.

In the town of Pamp Brinks, 30 kilometres from St. Quentin, a crypt emerged from the church, from which more than a dozen children were rescued, as well as the bones of some young children.

It was found that the pastor who presided over the church had committed a blasphemous act, leaving behind some of the children who had come to play in the church and kidnapping them in the basement as an outlet for his shameless, filthy, and sinful thoughts.

In a similar town, also a church, the presiding priest of the church likes to play with boys.

In the name of the kingdom, the chief of the guard arrested the two criminals and called on everyone in the various towns to uncover their crimes as much as possible.

This sensational thing is so frightening that the believers are overwhelmed and unable to speak for it, but to obey the inducement of the captain of the guard, which is attributed to their personal moral degradation and deviation from the faith.

But now that there is a beginning, more and more things are being revealed.

In the end, the royal family had to set up a special court to deal with these crimes and bring justice to the people.

And many people don't know that there are not only boys in the church, but also the priest in the basement who has amassed wealth, including gold and silver coins and some rare supplies, and even a small box of refined Mithril, which is enough to mint a hundred Mithril coins that are now in Free City. But just these add up, not counting real estate, which is no less than the income of a businessman's hard work for half a lifetime.

These were confiscated by the royal family, including the land in the name of the church, and the court had a good conscience to give a small part of it to the families of the young children who had been killed, declaring it to be the royal family's consolation to the unfortunate people, and most of the land was included in the direct domain of the royal family.

After this incident, the city of Saint-Quentin suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere.

It seems that something is about to explode, but it is still waiting.

It seems that someone is expecting something amazing to happen in St. Quentin again.

And except for those who are stupid, those who have a little bit of brains or have access to the kingdom know what this means.

This was His Majesty's return to the Church, and many eyes were on the Cathedral of Jolawan in the city of Saint-Quentin.

This kind of incident is not enough to alarm the headquarters of the church in Saxon, the Great Cathedral of the Holy Cross, but the Cathedral of Ralawan, which is a regional church in Asturias, is a blow to them.

Solomon felt something abnormal in the Academy of Magic, and it seemed that there was no change on the surface, but the academy suddenly announced a week off, and then a week later, it seemed that the magicians of the academy were also nervous about something.

The sudden move of the royal family was unknown to Solomon beforehand, but as a traveler, a similar history can be found in the original world, where royal power and divine power seem to have been disputed in Asturias.

However, his power is still too small in this turmoil to reach the true core, and there is no way to understand what the real situation is like under the surface calm.

He could only guess that the various forces in Asturias might be "taking sides" in this challenge against the Church, as exemplified by the two-week break from the Academy of Magic.

The magician branch of the Academy of Magic was jointly created by the royal family, but later the aristocratic families also intervened in it, and the influence was not as good as the first two, but it also had some weight.

In the Academy, the magicians are the disseminators of knowledge, but also the beings of mortal power.

But even they have to take a stand in this turmoil, even if it is neutral.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Solomon realized that, compared to the proposals he had proposed, His Majesty had used a quicker way to collect money, and had gone directly to the church.

Of course, he was very measured, and the royal family did not move the Cathedral of Jolawan, but chose the church in the town.

In addition, the evidence is conclusive, so the Ralawan Church can only be silent so far.

But this silence did not last long, because following the actions of the royal family, in the next two weeks, this similar situation gave birth to several more nobles in the fiefdoms.

Those nobles have always been close to the royal family, regarded as the "royal party", they followed the royal family to raid the churches in their own territory, one of the most daring even raided the largest church in their own city, that is a relatively large church in the kingdom, and the level has been raised from the town level to the city level church.

Of course, they had gained a lot, and they had found out some of the sins they had been born in the church, but this time it was not molesting boys or anything like that, but committing adultery and making fake holy water to sell.

However, this time it was not as easy as before, when the city-level church was raided, the clergy inside resisted, and there were only priest-level clergy in the town-level church, and the people dispatched were royal guards, and the chief and deputy chief of the royal guards were definitely high-level powerhouses, so there was no way to resist at all.

And when I started this municipal church, there were bishop-level clergy inside, and in terms of the level of divine arts, it was equivalent to the middle level of magicians, and there were many priests below, and there were two of these priests equivalent to the middle level, and the others were equivalent to the low level.

Fortunately, the family was still very well prepared when they started, and sent two high-level mages and one high-level warrior in the family, so that they could be caught without missing a beat.

However, the church was also damaged by the fighting, so the Ralawan Cathedral could no longer remain silent.

It is said that the red-robed abbot who presided over the Cathedral of Ralawan sent a messenger, and the archbishop, who was second only to him, went to the royal palace to demand that the royal family and nobles respect the church and stop the persecution of the priests of the church.

But the result was far from ideal, and it is said that the royal family rejected the request by slapping the archbishop in the face with conclusive evidence from the previous cases, claiming that it was not against the Church of Light, but that it could not tolerate the desecration of Shenhui, the defilement of faith, and the deception and persecution of believers by apostasy.

After this reply, the royal family decided to make the newly formed court an itinerant court, to formally accept any complaint against lawless church personnel, and declared that the people outside the direct domain of the crown could appeal to their lord, who could deal with them in accordance with the laws of the kingdom.

As a result, similar incidents broke out in various places, and even several churches were raided in the territories of the three wealthy families, not to mention the nobles who were close to the royal family.

The first act of the royal family was the most well prepared, and the powerful men who had been dispatched had long since investigated the kidnapping of boys in churches near the city of Sant'Quentin as conclusive evidence.

And these later lords followed the royal family's raid, and at first they could still show conclusive wrongdoing, but later it has become that as long as someone reports wrongdoing in the church, they will use it as a reason to do it.

For a time, except for the Jolawan Cathedral in the city of St. Quentin, the other churches in Asturias were plunged into a storm.

These nobles, who imitated the royal family, without exception, declared that the churches in their territories were sinful, and that the church members were greedy and filthy, and that they would also take their wealth for themselves.

Of course, not all of them succeeded, and some of them were bold enough to make a move against the municipal church, and the bishops inside, and even the archbishops, were not fools, some of them resisted, and some tried to escape.

Some of the rebellious churches caused great problems for the lords who were not well prepared or powerful, such as in the city of Haile, where the lords were violently resisted when they went to declare that there was wrongdoing in the church, wanted to arrest all the priests, and put the property belonging to the church in the lord's name.

Unfortunately, there was an archbishop in the church of Haile City with high-level strength, while the strength of the lord's subordinates was weak, only he was a high-level warrior, and as a result, when he led a team of men and horses to besiege the church, he was ambushed by the archbishop who had prepared for a long time, and he was defeated by the archbishop.

This is only a few, but more of a successful example, of course, this is related to the fact that most of the objects of the nobles are town-level churches, and the lords have a certain military power after all.

The clergy of the Church have the strength of the middle and low ranks, but that is only for them, they lack the military power that directly belongs to them, and the regular military force of the Church of Light is in the Great Temple of the Holy Cross in Saxon.

Unless Cardinal Cameron of the Cathedral of Ralawan could foresee this and come forward as soon as possible to gather all the church personnel together, there would be a fight.

But it's a pity that the royal family's action against the church was very successful, there was no sign beforehand, and he endured the suppression of Edward in the past, making the church think that he would also endure it this time.

Moreover, this incident can be called a conspiracy, the royal family used the pretext of cracking down on the lawless people in the church, which not only put the church in a passive position, but also made other nobles greedy, and imitated the behavior of the royal family to seize land and wealth from the church.

Using the word profit, the royal family succeeded in getting the nobles to support the action against the church in disguise, and also made the little anger and reluctance caused by the royal family's decision to open the plane trade to commoners other than the nobles dissipated.

In the aftermath of this action, the nobility will be forced to hold on tighter, and even the three great families will temporarily unite with the royal family, defending their common interests at home and abroad, in Yugudral and Farusion.

Thus, the bargains made by the royal family at the meeting of the nobles' council at a later time did not succeed in getting the nobles to agree to pay more taxes, but they also gained something else.

For example, the nobles at least openly showed their unity, and no one dared to refuse to close the roadblocks on the roads in their own territory.

The actual results are of course another matter, but at least this is the first step to success.

And the lords also underestimated the determination of the Majesty Xià in this regard, and in the days that followed, the Majesty Xià set up several special teams, all composed of light cavalry, whose duty was to patrol the Great 6 Highway in the territory, destroy the checkpoints on the road, and ensure the smooth flow of the trade route.
