The orcs, the undead, and the sea occupy the south, north, and east directions of the human empire, respectively.

However, despite this, the empire with its abundant resources can still take the initiative.

In addition to the mysterious Eastern Continent, another neutral place should belong to the place located in the west of the empire.

A kingdom of many believers who believe in the goddesses of this world.

Holy City.

Although Jack once wanted to unify the area, for some reason, he gave up on such an idea and instead reached a friendly agreement with the Holy City's supreme leader, the Pope, which will never be violated.

Over the years, the empire and the holy city have also gotten along fairly well.

And almost some of the time, some people from the royal family would go there to pray.

However, the land of the Holy City is limited, and the aspirations of human beings are endless, even for the so-called believers.

However, under the pressure of the Empire, they had to endure it.

The two sides get along amicably on the surface, but the contradictions in the secret are constantly intensifying.

"Your Majesty. ”

In a church that was not so atmospheric, but full of majesty and sacredness, a woman saluted the old man with her back to her.

However, knowing that she is a woman can only be discerned from her voice.

Dressed in silver heavy armor, his long golden hair, which was originally smooth, was tied into a ponytail.

On both hands, she held a silver shield that looked very heavy, and her right hand was pressed against the scabbard at her waist.

"Your Majesty, are you in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

"Christina. In front of what seemed to be the woman called Christina, an old man with white hair slowly turned around.

"I want to ask you a question. ”

"Speak. Christina respectfully knelt down on one knee.

"As the head of the Knights Templar. What do you think about the war?"

War?

"War. Cristian pondered for a moment, then said, "As long as it does not harm the people, and it is for the benefit of the people, it is a just war, and vice versa." ”

"Then what do you think, the people of our holy city now. How's it going?"

"This, I don't know. ”

"Then I'll talk about it. The old man raised his head, "Our people are constantly increasing, but because of the Empire, our territory has not increased. ”

"Your Majesty?" Christianity wondered, "do you want to...... Start a war?"

Although the soldiers of the Holy City will certainly be the most determined, but. After all, the strength of his side is weak, so he will definitely not be the opponent of an empire with a large number of people.

But this is an order after all.

"Last night, I had a dream. The Pope said slowly, "But perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a directive from God."

A blonde woman riding a python that claims to be the representative of eternal life entered my dream.

Then she didn't know what to say to me, but I thought it should be a good thing. ”

"A girl riding on a python?"

The books on gods and religions in the Holy City have long been memorized by Christia.

"Do you mean ......?"

In one of her hands, she also held a golden apple. The Pope's tone became agitated: "If I am not misremembered or misread, then she should be an oracle of the Creation God." ”

"It represents the light, and will always have eternal life. Eden?" Christina picked up. But then he was shocked by the sight in front of him and was speechless.

Behind the Pope, a pillar of golden light shone brightly. And, as if something was going to land.

"Pi, Your Majesty Peter, ...... behind your back"

"What?" the Pope, who felt unusual, hurriedly turned his head as well.

As the beam grew larger, a golden python suddenly appeared from above the beam, and it sat on it. It was a blonde girl with braids.

"Difficult, do you say ......" The Pope's eyes were full of disbelief. "Is it true, a miracle?"

――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――

"Well, my father has agreed to your request. "In Ariel's manor, Chris was a little reserved when he first came to this newly dressed hall.

"It's just Ariel. Do you really need tens of millions of gold to build?"

After Chris told Jack what Ariel thought, Jack agreed without thinking about it, and gave Ariel a maximum limit of 50 million gold coins for Ariel to squander.

But if you build or something, even if you add wages, 10 million is enough.

"Actually, it's not that much, and the key money I need to use, well, invest. ”

"Investment?"

Chris has heard too many words he doesn't know these days.

"Even if our buildings are built, people will always need to open them, and besides, we will always need to invest some money to make the capital chain of the orcs who have not used currency run for a long time. ”

"So, we need to use a certain reward plus a temporary reward to get some of our businessmen here to invest there. Moreover, it is necessary to exchange gold coins for goods to allow orcs to come into contact with gold coins first. So tens of millions are not considered Dora. ”

"Okay. Chris didn't understand all of Ariel's tirade, but only a few.

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you, I'm sure you'll see a thriving orc clan soon. ”

"I have one more thing to ask you, though. ”

Through observation and investigation in the past few days, Ariel has discovered a problem.

"Aren't there any religious believers in our imperial capital?"

"Cultists?" Chris was stunned, "There are cultists, but most of them are gathered in the western part of the empire, which is a country called the Holy City. ”

Is there a country besides the Empire?

"What about the relationship? is it neutral, or is it ......?"

"Friendly, I guess so. "Almost every year if we have the chance, we go to the church there and pray for good luck in the coming year," Chris said. They are also quite respectful. ”

Prayer, that is, is this holy city similar to Christianity and Catholicism?

"Shall I go there, then, and have a look, since they are friendly with the Empire, I believe they are willing to spread their ideas. When the time comes, it will be slightly changed and spread to the orcs.

As for the content, of course, it was changed to be beneficial to our empire. ”

“......”

The devil, really a little devil.

Chris now has to admire Ariel's various outlandish ideas, can it be said that Ariel can even distort the ideas that have condensed the communication theology that has been condensed for generations?

(Today's shift, I have to go to class immediately, trouble) (to be continued......)
