Huggins walked into the king's audience room, saw Todd sitting at the table with his eyes closed, and said, "Your Majesty, all the people you asked me to notify are here."
Todd waved his hand: "Let them come in."
Father Moore and Friar Joe each led a group of clergy and monks into the room.
Todd looked at these people and said calmly: "Where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
Father Moore opened the wooden box he carried with him, took out a book with trembling hands, and handed it to the king.
Todd took the book, looked at the large words on the cover - "Union Bible", and sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, this is the first draft. We will continue to revise it later." Friar Joe took out a stack of pages that he had just copied from his arms: "As for the establishment of a new religious sect, we followed your instructions and established the Evangelical Sect.
, and sent notices to churches everywhere announcing the establishment of new denominations.”
Moore took a deep breath: "To this day, I still can't believe that there are already many priests and bishops who are dissatisfied with the church's actions."
Todd opened the Union Bible, looked at the "Ten Holy Commandments" at the beginning, and said calmly: "The best way to shake church believers is to re-establish a new sect based on the Bible and use the new sect to
influence to completely deny the legitimacy of Heavenly Father’s Church
Sex. Only in this way can the influence of the church be minimized and enough allies be won for us... You can think about it, from the very beginning of "justification by faith" to the subsequent "Heavenly Father Pope"
"Book of Criticism", these are all paving the way for the establishment of Protestantism."
Moore was a little confused: "Your Majesty, if you are establishing a new sect, why should you use the Bible as the basis of religion? To be honest, the scholars and aliens in the city don't have the slightest good impression of the church and the Bible."
Todd waved his hand and said: "We are flying the banner of religious reform, not to overthrow the relevant beliefs of the Bible. Only in the name of the Bible can we naturally attract believers."
Friar Joe said excitedly: "So, Your Majesty, what are we waiting for?! Let's hold the founding ceremony of the new sect!"
Todd put the Union Bible on the table and shook his head slightly: "Now is not the time to announce the establishment of a new sect. We must tell those watching around us that we are not only willing to reform the corrupt church, but we also have the ability to defeat it.
Their army!"
Moore thought thoughtfully: "What do you mean?"
"In a while, at the Holy Acropolis, the church coalition forces will approach the city. If we can win this war, then we can prove the power of the new sect to the world. When that time comes, it will be impossible to hold the ceremony again.
Not too late."
After saying these words, Todd was silent for a while, and then said to the people in front of him: "Your task is to continue to improve the theory of the new sect during this period, and to actively contact the bishops and priests who are dissatisfied with the church."
After chatting with the clergy and monks for a while, Todd waved them to leave first.
Facing the empty room, Todd stared blankly at the umbrella badge on the wall without saying a word.
A sudden knock on the door brought him back to reality.
"Come in."
Huggins gently opened the door, looked at Todd and said, "Your Majesty, what would you like for dinner?"
Todd glanced at the setting sun outside the window, stood up from the chair with his hands on his hands and said, "Follow the past practice, put the food in the palace garden, and I will eat there."
Huggins was only briefly stunned by this strange request, then nodded and left.
Todd walked through the corridor of the palace, looked at the beautiful scenery under the sunset, and walked slowly to the pavilion in the palace garden.
Huggins had already ordered the maids to prepare the table and meals. A group of people stood around the pavilion, waiting quietly for the king to take his seat.
Todd did not rush to sit at the dining table, but walked to the wooden wall of the garden and looked at the night view of the city below the mountain through the wooden frame.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Huggins shouted twice and found that Todd had no response. He took two steps closer and said, "Your Majesty, please eat first, otherwise the food will get cold."
Todd waved to Huggins, pointed in the direction of the port area and smiled: "Do you remember? That's where we went to sea for the first time. I still remember that there was only a dilapidated plank road in that place, and we
The ship was stolen from the North Island pirates."
Huggins followed the instructions and looked down the mountain, and also laughed: "I still remember that night on Waiheke Island. Although Your Majesty was not used to the cheese soup we cooked, you still had the guts to drink a bowl."
A look of nostalgia appeared on Todd's face: "Yeah, during that time, I didn't know much about anything, but I wanted to do everything. Thinking about it now, it's really not easy to get to where I am today."
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said to you before going to sea?"
"Which sentence?"
"You asked me if I believe in miracles. I said I do, because you standing in front of me are a miracle."
Todd was stunned.
After a moment, he gently closed his eyes and murmured: "A miracle..."
"Are you worried about the battle of the Holy Acropolis in the near future?" Huggins stood up straight and said firmly: "The final winner must be us!"
Todd looked at the other person: "Are you so sure?"
"Although the church coalition has 15,000 soldiers and has assembled nearly 30 kingdoms, we only have 1,900 Muxi Knights, plus 2,000 defenders of the Holy Guard City. It seems that this is a
It’s a hugely disparate duel, but we have several reasons to win!”
"Tell me and listen."
"First, the Muxi Knights have three hundred heavily armored knights. They are equipped with exotic war horses, holy guard armor, keel bones and supernatural powers. I believe that no army in this world can stop them head-on!"
"Second, the Holy Guard City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has a moat, an arrow tower, an urn, and a battlement. The barbarians sent nearly 200,000 people three times, but they failed to capture the city.
"
"Third, the commander of this battle is Lord Cumberland..."
At this point, Huggins smiled and winked at Todd: "With so many favorable factors, are you still worried that this battle will fail?"
Todd smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something: "I asked you to take Queen Mary back to Muxi City before the war started. How did it go?"
Huggins scratched his head and whispered: "She refuses to come back."
"What?"
Huggins leaned close to Todd and whispered: "She told the person who went to pick her up that before His Majesty left the Holy Acropolis, the words left to her were to stabilize and defend the city. Before completing this matter, she
Will not leave the Acropolis."
Todd sighed deeply: "I owe her a lot."
Huggins raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, the food is already cold. I'll ask the kitchen to heat it up."
Todd cast his gaze towards the lights of thousands of houses in the city, with prosperity and loneliness flowing in his eyes: "It's okay, just leave the food there, let me see the city for a while longer."
