Chapter 78: The Order of St. George and Tithes (continued)
Chapter 78 The Order of St. George and Tithes (continued)
Licking is an extremely profound knowledge.
Although Bruno didn't know how to lick it deliciously, what surprised him was that his personal guard Mike seemed to have a very high understanding of this matter.
With just a little push, Mike can lick people until they feel refreshed and filled with pleasure.
Therefore, Bruno had no choice but to reluctantly part ways with him and sent his right-hand man to Bethlehem together with the gangsters.
In the Norman Empire, where divine power and royal power were equally important, if you wanted to get ahead, there were only two possibilities. One was to lick the emperor, and the other was to lick the church.
Among the two, Bruno obviously chose the latter.
After all, it is no longer a matter of a day or two for the five regents of the Regency Council to be at odds with the emperor. As a nobleman, Bruno will be under pressure from the other side no matter which side he chooses to stand on.
This is not just a question of whether the butt is crooked or not, but an important matter related to the subsequent development of the entire Idar Territory.
Instead of taking a huge gamble with Idar's fate, Bruno preferred to be a mere wallflower like other nobles, swinging back and forth between the emperor and several regent ministers.
As long as he can hold on, sooner or later the Idar Territory will become one of the top aristocratic territories in the eastern part of the empire and even the entire Norman Empire!
As a time traveler, Bruno still has such confidence.
Therefore, the Church of Light, which was the largest church in the Norman Empire, naturally became Bruno's first choice.
Anyway, even if the bishops of the church are difficult to serve and Mike is not comfortable licking alone, then Idar has not lost anything.
But if Mike really makes the bishops feel comfortable by licking them, then letting something slip out from the church's fingers can be of great benefit to the Idar Territory, which is currently in dire straits.
In the camp, Mike's touching words made Cardinal Camus Blanchard directly feel the admiration and sincerity from the lower class believers for the first time.
It turns out... I am indeed the cardinal archbishop who can best represent the Holy See. No wonder His Majesty the Pope would entrust such an important position to me.
Mike's compliment made the red archbishop smile, and he immediately felt good about the ragged civilian in front of him.
"I heard... you workers from the Idar Territory are the only team that can complete the task on time?" Camus Blanchard asked.
"Yes... Actually, while completing his original task, the villain is also trying his best to help other workers complete their labors. Unfortunately, the villain's ability is really limited, and he is far from meeting the requirements... I hope the red clothes
Your Excellency, the Archbishop, forgive me..." Mike said sincerely.
"You... are also helping others dig out rocks?" The confusion in the cardinal's heart was clearly evident.
"Yes, my lord, the Earl, often warns us that the God of Light is the most worthy of belief and praise in the world. Anyone who can make more contributions to the God of Light can alleviate our past sins. In this world,
Only the God of Light is our ultimate reliance!"
At this moment, Camus Blanchard was shocked and speechless. Is this something that an ordinary nobleman could say?
"However... in order to improve the work efficiency of other civilians as soon as possible, the villain now takes time every night to teach them how to mine and transport. Although the effect cannot be seen for a while, the villain believes that other civilians will
The work efficiency can also be gradually improved..."
"These skills... how did you Idar people learn them?"
"My Lord Earl has said that the construction of the Colossus of the God of Light is the most important event in the entire Norman Empire. No bias is allowed. It is the duty of every nobleman in the Norman Empire to assist the Church of Light in building the statue.
Responsibility!"
"Therefore, before we commoners of Idar came to Bethlehem to build the Colossus, Lord Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar, specially asked us to practice all the skills that may be used in building the Colossus, including cutting stone, transporting wood, and small
When it comes to the specific construction details, Lord Bruno allows us to practice every detail, so that we can not hold back everyone when we come to Bethlehem to build the Colossus..."
"Practice it with your own hands?"
"Yes, Lord Bruno even spent a lot of money to build a garden in Idar Territory in order to improve our proficiency. The real purpose is to enable us to better build a colossus for the church, so that it was even led by Sauron.
The soldiers took advantage of the situation to rob and repeatedly provoked troubles at the border."
"You mean... your lord, Count Idar, spent a lot of money to build a garden in order to cultivate you?" Camus Blanc found it incredible that the so-called Count Idar... turned out to be a right person.
Is the church such a sincere believer?
"Yes... it was precisely because Master Bruno invested a lot of money in the construction of the garden that the army led by Sauron took advantage of it. They burned, killed and looted, committing all kinds of evil, but even though they suffered such heavy losses
, Sir Bruno has not yet asked us to stop work, and he... led the soldiers to fight in a bloody battle, and then repelled the invasion of Sauron. Even the Earl was seriously injured, but maybe the God of Light felt him
With such piety, Master Bruno actually recovered under the protection of the God of Light, which further strengthened our Idar people’s belief in the God of Light..."
Camus Blanchard: "..."
Although this sounds ridiculous, and Mike is so skilled that he seems to have rehearsed it long ago...
but,
The work efficiency of the civilians of Idar was shown here, which made the cardinal archbishop reluctantly believe what Mike said.
Count Idar...is really a talented person who is loyal to the church!
But then again...
Where is this Idar territory...?
The red archbishop suddenly felt a little confused, because he really had no impression of the so-called Idar Territory...
Returning to the Lateran Palace, the red archbishop summoned his personal attendants.
"Idar Territory..." The attendant pondered for a moment, and then said: "This should be the easternmost county of the empire, close to Mann Fortress. Although the territory is large, it is extremely remote and desolate..."
"Is it remote and desolate... In that case, please go ahead and exempt Idar from tithing for the next five years, and give Count Idar the Order of St. George in recognition of his sincere belief in the Church of Light!"
