Linton didn't know much about the Church of Light, but he probably knew that it still had a great influence on the mainland. Basically every city in the empire had a church, even the novice village that Linton built before
There is a small church in every town, so one can imagine the influence of the Church of Light.
To be honest, Linton didn't want to have anything to do with such a blasphemous organization. After all, he himself did not believe in religion. In the eyes of non-believers, all religions are basically organizations that deceive people. Linton heard the light
This is also the first reaction of the church. People in this world have particularly serious problems in this regard. With almost no development in science, almost everyone is a supporter of the church, which results in the church almost controlling all the guidance of public opinion.
In other words, whatever it says is black is black, and whatever it says is white is white. Linton is still very disgusted with this.
Even the royal family does not want to mess with the church. Linton also heard old man Klose talk about this matter. The church is also a very powerful force in politics. Although it does not directly govern, it can influence politics.
, when Rennes rebelled, they also considered the influence of the church.
Of course, if the other party really wants to fight, Linton said that he will fight with you head-on, but it is really unnecessary. What will you gain by knocking down the Church of Light? Linton's most important task at the moment is to complete the mission and win the prize.
Contribution is not about pulling out feudal superstition or anything like that. In this regard, there is really no need to confront the church. On the contrary, it will affect your own construction tasks.
This time the church sent someone here, but they didn’t know what the purpose was. Linton guessed that on the one hand, it was possible that he had been reported on his research on "necromancy". After all, Linton was not very covert.
On the one hand, it may also be related to the affairs of the Cthulhu Church. After all, the influence of this matter is also expanding now. Of course, I hope it is the latter, so that Linton does not have to directly deal with the church.
While thinking about it, Linton also returned to Moon Lake City, of course through the method of teleportation by Flying Thunder God. With a flash of white light, Linton appeared directly in the hall of the Duke's Mansion. It felt like a banquet was being held here. Linton
Dun also appeared directly next to Gassen who was having a meal.
"So, as I said, can you show up normally next time?" Garsain also calmly ate the food in his mouth, and then said, he was almost used to Linton's sudden attack.
Linton glanced around and saw that there were many people in the banquet hall, but not many people were sitting at the dining table. The first person sitting at the main seat was Gasan, and the other guest was the first person who had not seen him for a long time.
The third princess, Yalan, also has an old acquaintance behind her, the captain of the Maple Leaf Guards, Barry. It seems that the third princess did not sneak out this time, and was followed by the guards.
Next to Princess Yalan is a girl she has never seen before. She looks very young. She is probably about the same age as Princess Yalan. She has very conspicuous long platinum hair and is wearing a gorgeous white robe. She seems to be exuding...
It was like a holy light. Linton looked behind her and saw several knights wearing gold-rimmed armor standing there. They were obviously guards, so if he guessed correctly, this girl might be from the church.
In addition, there are two people slightly further back who are obviously dressed as civil servants. They are both old men of some age. Linton still has an impression when looking at them. They should be ministers of the palace. They should have been during the coup.
Saw it in the palace.
"Linton." Seeing Linton appear, Princess Yalan stood up and said hello happily, but the girl from the church next to her was much calmer. She first put down her knife and fork, picked up her napkin and wiped it elegantly.
He wiped his mouth, then stood up, held up his long skirt and saluted, saying: "This is the great Sword Master Linton Melo, right? The church priest, Melissa Teoduro Paulino Sobu
Reno, on behalf of the Church, greets you."
After Melissa saluted, several church knights behind her also bowed their heads slightly towards Linton, naturally out of respect for the holy class. From the current point of view, few of them saw any obvious hostility, and Linton also suppressed it.
He pressed his hands and said, "Sit down first."
After saying that, Linton directly pulled out the chair next to him and sat down. Garsain waved to the servant next to him, and the servant here was naturally ready to serve Linton dinner.
Seeing Linton taking his seat, several people also sat down again. Linton also naturally asked several people about their purpose of coming here. Of course, the first person to ask was the third princess Yalan.
"I'm here mainly to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my father." Princess Yalan said. As expected, Linton had guessed the purpose of Princess Yalan's coming here. After all, Linton had helped the emperor a lot before.
Not only did he solve the problem of the coup, but he also helped the emperor obtain the Dragon Blood Sword Grass and solved the health problems of the royal family. The emperor must express his gratitude.
However, finding Linton is really troublesome. Not only is Linton's whereabouts uncertain, but Linton himself is too lazy to talk to the emperor, so the emperor has not seen Linton until now. So of course Princess Yalan came here just after she inquired about it.
Linton's whereabouts. Linton has been busy with construction work in the territory these days. He finally showed up. The emperor who heard about Linton's whereabouts also sent Princess Yalan over.
Princess Yalan also said that although Emperor Wigley wanted to express his gratitude in person, he was really busy with official duties and couldn't get away from it, so she could only express his gratitude on behalf of the royal family.
Of course, expressing gratitude was just one thing. Princess Yalan quickly talked about another thing, that is, Emperor Wigley hoped that Linton could return to live in the imperial capital.
"Go back to the Imperial Capital?" Linton was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Generally speaking, for a family with a fiefdom like the Melowei Family, family members would stay in their own territory, but the Imperial Capital would also generally stay.
The next few family members are, on the one hand, to facilitate contact with the royal family, and more importantly, they are also hostages. If you rebel, members of the imperial capital will naturally be detained. However, this is an unspoken rule between the nobles and the royal family, and the emperor's intention
Is he going to the Imperial Capital as a hostage? It doesn’t seem right. After all, he is a saint. How can a saint be a hostage? I guess he should go back and take charge. After all, it is quite strange for a saint to stay in a fiefdom of the empire.
.
Seeing that Linton didn't seem to understand for a while, the minister sitting slightly behind him coughed a few times and gave Gaseon a look. Gasein also understood, got up and walked to Linton's side.
, pulled Linton over a little and started talking quietly.
"Master Kermit over there just said hello to me. The reason why I want you to go back this time is mainly about your marriage," Garsain said.
"Marriage problem?" Linton was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Princess Yalan here.
"Understood, if you go back to the imperial capital, it will be more convenient for the two parties to contact you. After a while, I will make a request for marriage to Your Majesty on behalf of the family, and the wedding can be completed smoothly," Gassen said.
Linton finally understood. If an ordinary princess married into a minister's family, it would be a down-marriage. If the emperor liked the person, he could just issue a decree. However, Linton's situation was different. He was a saint.
, then the emperor couldn't say to marry the princess off, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of all saints, so the emperor couldn't directly issue the decree, and of course he couldn't take the initiative to give away the daughter. The result of the discussion was that the Melowei family proposed a marriage,
The emperor agreed without hesitation, so that neither party would lose face.
The princess came to express her gratitude on behalf of the emperor this time, and these ministers came to discuss the marriage with the Mellow family. It seems that the emperor is also a little anxious. Linton was promoted in his twenties.
The saint-level person is simply like a dragon or a phoenix among people, and he is very kind to their royal family. Both in public and private matters, he must be quickly tied to the royal chariot. It just so happens that he and Princess Yalan have a good relationship. Isn't that a good thing?
After understanding this, it became more convenient. Linton also looked at Princess Yalan again. Princess Yalan here obviously knew what the two of them were whispering. She lowered her head with a slight blush and avoided Linton's gaze. Then
Of course, Linton was not a fool. He immediately understood that Princess Yalan also obviously knew about this matter. If the girl didn't object, she would naturally agree.
"Getting married..." To be honest, Linton had not considered such a far-reaching thing. Although he boasted about marrying the most beautiful woman in the country at that time, it was not just talk. Now he has really encountered this matter.
Linton still didn't know what to do.
Of course, Princess Yalan is really beautiful and a nice person. The problem is that Linton hasn’t figured out who she is yet. He always feels that now is not the time to get married. However, after looking at the situation on Yalan’s side,
Although the other party avoided his gaze, he kept stealing glances at him. He was obviously waiting for his answer. To be honest, he looked so cute like this, and there was no way he could refuse it.
"Uh... It's okay to go back, but I still have some things to deal with here." Linton thought for a while and said.
"You have something to do with yarn." said Garsain next to him. "After all, what are you busy with recently?"
Of course Garsain also knew what Linton did, but he just couldn't understand it. He was wandering around nearby cities inexplicably, and then opened an alchemy materials store. What's going on? Brother, are you a saint?
Are you preparing to become a businessman?
"Anyway, I have some things to do. I will go to the Imperial Capital after I finish my work." Linton waved and said, then directly changed the subject and said to Melissa next to him, "So what does Miss Melissa do here?
"
