Rawls subconsciously took a few steps back. He had been overtly and covertly persuading Philip to accept a political marriage these days, but when this matter happened to him, he understood how Philip felt.
Dorothy Lovelace had neat short hair, slightly cold facial lines, a tall figure, and a smile in her gray-blue eyes. When she saw Rawls subconsciously taking two steps back, the smile on her face became even bigger.
Sheng, but her expression looked even weirder, like a cold doll suddenly changing its expression.
Next to her, a middle-aged man in formal attire and glasses with a scholarly air looked at the countess with some surprise. He was the bishop of Winston University, a professor at Winston University, and Dorothy's academic scholar.
There is not much cooperation, but in his impression, he has never seen the other party behave like this.
But the most important thing now is the sudden appearance of the heir to the Gonzales family!
When Archbishop Bernhard told him the news and asked him to go to Backlund with the academic delegation, he was as panicked as Rawls. Whether it was the sudden addition of an heir to the Gonzalez family, or his
For a bishop of the Church of Knowledge to set foot in the country of the "tyrant" is enough to cause a huge disaster involving politics and religious beliefs!
"Mr. Adrian, we will discuss this matter later. I am Trevor Swindin, the bishop of the Church of Knowledge. This time, as a professor of the Smelting Department of Winston University, I am accompanying the delegation on an academic visit."
Although there were many doubts in his heart, Trevor knew that this matter was not something he could intervene in. He only needed to complete the task assigned to him by Archbishop Bernhard.
Rawls, who was shouting in his heart that this was retribution, forced a smile on his face, took a few steps forward, stretched out his right hand, shook hands with the bishop, and introduced himself:
"I am Rolls Adrian, currently the owner of a law firm."
He does not have the status of Viscount Derian of the Kingdom of Tirun, which is a minus for Bishop Trevor.
"Mr. Adrian, I need a drop of your blood. Well, I need to do another verification. This is necessary." Trevor put his hands on his waist and took out a test tube each. There was a colorless liquid inside, one of which was
A drop of blood floats on the surface of the root liquid.
"This is as it should be."
Rawls looked at the countess and nodded when he saw that she had no abnormal reaction. He took out a ruby ring from his pocket and put it on the index finger of his right hand. This was the "Scarlet Feast". Shadows appeared on the surface of the ruby, and in his hand
A shadow knife condensed, and a cut was made on the index finger. After the dark red seeped out, it floated into the air.
The ruby ring exudes the smell of blood, and with the help of "Bishop Rose"'s flesh magic, the connection between that drop of blood and itself is eliminated.
Trevor squinted his eyes. As a "savant", he could easily tell that the ring should correspond to the "Rose Bishop". He immediately frowned. Aurora would be the key target of the Knowledge Church, and the flesh and blood magic
It can affect the judgment of blood fusion.
However, he does not have the final say on the standard of judgment.
Then he used the test tube with only colorless liquid to catch the blood and said:
"Mr. Adrian, I need to use a ritual magic and let the Pope make the final judgment."
Pope?Albert Mendoza?
Although Rawls was a little surprised, he felt that this was not an exaggeration and gave the small table to Bishop Trevor. Then he saw him rummaging through the suit like magic to find mercury, brass, mint, lavender,
Pepper and other ingredients were prepared, and then he took out three candles that exuded the fragrance of mint and arranged the altar.
Trevor took off his glasses, slid them along his suit, and disappeared into his palms. After lighting the candle with his spirituality, he read out the honorable name in ancient Hermetic language:
“Eyes that understand the rules;”
"Teacher who guides believers"
"Angel of knowledge and wisdom;"
After doing this three times, the candle on the altar began to burn violently, half of it burned out in a few seconds, and then seemed to solidify without any change.
Trevor's back suddenly became illusive, and he quickly collided the two test tubes with each other. The glass fragments disappeared before they fell on the altar. Two groups of colorless liquids suspended in blood merged with each other. The blood spread rapidly, and the fused liquid
The water polo was dyed pale red.
He nodded, letting the red water ball disappear as well, turned to look at Rawls, and said in a vicissitudes of voice:
"You are indeed Madeleine's son."
Albert Mendoza Rawls was a child. He always thought that the Pope, who was revered as the "Grand Master", used rituals to make judgments from a distance. Unexpectedly, he actually possessed him directly. To be precise, he was possessed by the Pope.
The spirit came to Bishop Trevor.
He bowed respectfully and said:
"Good evening, Your Majesty."
"Good evening." She nodded to Rawls and Dorothy, "This is Backlund. I can't stay too long. Trevor and Dorothy will tell you what happens next."
As soon as she finished speaking, Trevor's figure stopped being unreal and became normal. He traced the book on his chest with his index finger and said in a deep voice:
"Knowledge is sublime!"
This is the prayer gesture of the Church of Knowledge.
After praying, he put his right hand on his suit, took out his glasses, put them on again and said:
"Your Majesty has verified your identity. According to the news I brought from Archbishop Bernhard before I came, you will become one of the future heirs of the Maxi Kingdom. As for the identity of the Crown Prince, we still need to wait for another matter to be obtained.
Only with your consent can it be recognized by the church.”
"What happened?" Rawls had a vague feeling in his heart.
Dorothy, who had been silent for a long time, said:
"Of course I will marry a princess and have a political marriage!"
Sure enough... Rawls' eyelids drooped, he thought for a while, then suddenly widened his eyes and said:
"How will you explain my identity to the outside world?"
The most important point in a political marriage is the exchange of interests, followed by the equality of status. If Rawls is the future heir to the throne who grew up in Ma Xi, he can be qualified to match any princess, but the problem now is that he suddenly appeared
Yes, although his mother is the crown prince, she has been officially dead for more than 20 years.
"After today, the church and His Majesty Orff will recognize that Princess Madeleine has an heir and will become the heir to the throne." Trevor explained.
"that's all?"
Rawls' mouth twitched. What's this explanation? An explanation is the same as no explanation. Even if you say that his mother and father eloped, it's better than this!
"Yes." Trevor sketched the book on his chest again, "Ma Xi and Luen are not the same."
In Loen, or in foreign countries such as Lunberg, which believes in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Orthodox Church and political power are in a state of balance. In countries such as Lunberg, Masi, and Sehgal, the divine power is greater than the royal power, and the identity of the crown prince needs to be determined by the church.
It is certain that the king will be crowned by the Pope himself.
Even if he knew this situation, Rawls was not very willing. If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. This explanation is really too "ridiculous"!
"What about Loen? I am still Viscount Derian of Loen."
"King George III of Loen told the Church of Knowledge in October last year that he wanted to get married and wanted to find a suitable marriage partner for his daughter."
"Run? George III?"
Rawls pinched his forehead. He thought he was marrying a princess from Lundberg or Segar. He never thought it would be Rune. George III only had two daughters, so the marriage partner was with him at the New Year's party.
Talking to Princess Delina?
"Is it Princess Delina?"
Trevor replied with some surprise:
"Judging from the previous attitude of George III, it is Princess Delina. Do you know her?"
"He only has two daughters, and Delina is the future eldest princess..." Rawls frowned and avoided his question, "Will George III agree?"
"He took the initiative to express his attitude, and you have been recognized by the church. This is enough!"
Ridiculous explanations, political marriage based on exchange of interests, the Church of Knowledge and Loen... This is George III preparing for war! Rawls connected a reason in his mind that could explain this series of situations.
George III wants to be promoted to the "Black Emperor", which has the tacit approval of the Seven Gods, and the "Black Emperor" is not a "Red Priest", and there is no need for war in the ceremony. The war in the second half of the year is actually the goddess gaining the "God of Death"
"After the uniqueness, the counterattack from the "God of War".
George III didn't know this, but he had to make some preparations to prevent accidents from happening. After all, once he became the "Black Emperor", Naluen would have four gods, even if the God of Steam and Machinery were neutral or turned against each other.
Intis, the three gods are enough to crush other countries.
As for the countries that can cooperate with Loen to share the potential war, only the countries controlled by the Church of Knowledge, such as Lundberg, Masi, and Sehgal, are geographically located enough to serve as a line of defense against Intis and Fenebaud.
That's why George III chose to marry.
But for this unknown knowledge, the church may not have been aware of the hidden plan behind the marriage at the beginning, and did not give an answer immediately. Then Rawls appeared, a man with the identity of the heir to the Maxi Kingdom.
The Luen people, as soon as this was connected with the marriage proposed by George III, problems arose.
Because George III did not name his intention to marry the royal family of the Marcy Kingdom, any male heir of the right age from the Lemburg, Sehgal, or Marcy royal families can do it.
More importantly, Rawls speculated that Pope Albert Mendoza must have received an oracle or predicted something, and his identity must be recognized. This coming and going is equivalent to Luen inserting two sticks.
Nail to the realm of knowledge church mastery.
Although religious power is greater than divine power, one side involves the great power of Loen, and the other side involves Rawls who may be blessed by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, so this requires the Knowledge Church to consider it more carefully.
The best way to solve these two problems is to solve the two problems together. Rawls from Loen inherits the throne and marries Princess Delina who was married from Loen. In addition, the ridiculous explanation and the Church of Knowledge’s
With the control of political power, it is almost impossible for the two Loen people as king and queen to gain the recognition of the people of the Maxi Kingdom.
If Rawls is recognized by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, then the Church of Knowledge can naturally use its influence to guide the people to recognize this king from Loen!
Although these are all speculations, Rawls also believes that he should be close to the truth. After all, he knows the subsequent plot development better than the "Utopian Angel".
He could even deduce the reason why George III chose to marry the princess instead of letting a certain prince marry the princess.
First, marrying a princess can use her influence to help Loen survive possible wars in the future; second, the eldest son, Prince Govington, is already married, and the only suitable candidates are Charlie and Edsac, but choosing them will
This puts Lun, who has not yet decided on the crown prince, into crisis. What's more, these two princes are both scapegoats. Once exposed, they will offend the Church of Knowledge.
This world is really hard to mess around with!
Rawls raised his index finger and scratched his eyebrows, and asked the last question helplessly:
"Then when will you inform George III of this news? It can't be just by taking advantage of this visit, right?"
He still has many things to deal with in Loen. Once the identity of the heir to the throne is exposed, there will be no chance at all.
"I came here to inform King Loen that the church has agreed to the marriage he proposed, but will only tell him that the marriage partner is Princess Madeleine's son, the future King Maxi."
This is the reason why George III would give his approval to Trevor, the Bishop of the Church of Knowledge, to enter Loen.
That's good... Rawls breathed a sigh of relief. At least some of his arrangements in Backlund still have a chance to be put to use. He just wants the Tamara family to increase their investment in the Kingdom of Marsi. And the Abraham family, I hope
Some of them agreed to cooperate, and then mobilized their tribesmen in Ma Xi to support him, the king of Ma Xi with the label of Loen people.
It is a pity that Bernadette does not have many properties in countries such as Marsi and Lomborg, and it is impossible to transfer them in a short time. Otherwise, the help she can provide will be even greater than that of the Abraham family.
The official business had been dealt with, and Rawls started chatting with the two of them. The main content focused on the three-month arrangement of the visiting delegation. As a newly minted nobleman and close to Philip, he knew that Loen was interested in this visiting delegation.
some arrangements.
For example, in order to avoid religious conflicts, the main activity area of the visiting group is in the North District, which is where the Backlund University of Technology is located. There is the St. Samuel Church of the Church of the Night, and cases involving extraordinary people are also there.
Handled by "Nighthawks".
Although only Trevor is the bishop of the Church of Knowledge, the visiting group, except Dorothy, are all believers in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and can easily conflict with the Church of Storms.
Regarding this, Trevor shook his head and said:
"I will only stay in Backlund for a month. If you have anything to contact me, you can find the great detective Essinger Stanton who lives at 45 Gervais Street in Hillston District. He will send the information
Transfer it to me."
When he comes to Backlund, he will definitely be closely monitored.
"He has a messenger," Dorothy added dryly.
"Oh?" Trevor pushed up his glasses, quite surprised, "Even demigods find it difficult to have messengers. Of course, they have other means to do it, but they are far less useful than messengers."
"Not just me, Countess Lovelace's son Jamil also has a messenger."
Bishop Trevor knew about Jamil. Although he was the "reader" of Sequence 9, he didn't remember Dorothy as a messenger.
"He has the characteristics of the 'Necromancer' in his hand, and he can use it to sign a contract with the messenger."
"Really?" Trevor's eyes lit up, he wiped his hands on his body, took out a pen and a black notebook, and wrote on them, "Can you tell me the specific method?"
