Alien Knights

Chapter 48: condition

   There was a wave of turmoil in the King City of Silver Ring.

   "Holy Item Appreciation Meeting".

The nobles distributed invitation letters in the name of their families, initiated gatherings, and placed the treasured (snatched) crystal relics in the most conspicuous position of the banquet hall, and then invited friends and colleagues to enjoy the food and wine while enjoying Crystal clear treasure.

   This may sound incredible, but it actually happened in the upper class.

   Gradually, this trend entered the royal family. King Gay VI and Queen Mary, imitating the nobles who are familiar with each other, began to set up a banquet in the palace with the theme of the treasured (yes, still grabbed) crystal relics, inviting the wealthy dignitaries in the Silver Ring Kingdom , Get together.

   This move can be regarded as completely pushing the popularity of crystal holy objects to a climax.

   In the following days, civilians gathered in private taverns, hotels, chambers of commerce, and rural villages and towns. The most talked about, all became the topic of "treasures from the north".

   People are eloquently chanting to each other.

   What children like to hear most is the adventure stories on the way to treasure treasures; what young people like to talk about most is that treasures are of great value; what older people care about is the mysterious effects and sacred brilliance of sacred objects.

   There is only one person in the huge Silver Ring City, who did not participate in this popular feast, but fell into great anxiety.

   Bishop Fabian touched the top of his head, and attentively read the report on the sacred objects that his subordinates had arranged for him.

   The sacred objects that were supposed to be dedicated to the pope have flowed into the secular royal family and nobles. Although the main responsibility is not with me, once the archbishop and the cardinals of the diocese learn about this, the first unlucky person must be me. The most urgent task is to find a way to remedy it as soon as possible.

   The sudden knock on the door made him raise his head displeasedly: "Come in."

   The deacon opened the door, glanced at his boss's face, and whispered: "Father Paul is here, and I beg to see you."

   The bishop frowned and waved his hand impatiently: "It's him again? No see!"

   Watching his subordinates exit the room, the old man once again turned his attention to the report.

   The northern islands, repelling the pirates, capturing the ships, and returning full of loads, several things made him realize that in order to obtain the crystal relic, the fastest way is to persuade Todd to go north. After thinking for a while, the bishop picked up a pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter, took off the single crystal mirror, rang the sounding bell, and said to the subordinate who entered the room: "Give this letter to Lu Father Bert, tell him to do it as soon as possible."

   Three days later, in the library of the monastery, Todd met the priest who had been "exorcising" with him.

  Fr Rupert gave Todd a bad impression for the first time, but after experiencing an "exorcism ritual" and meeting again, his attitude changed significantly. The original arrogance has become enthusiasm, and the original hostility has become respect.

   The two sat down at the table and exchanged a little bit, and the monk fully understood the purpose of the other party.

   "The church hopes that he will go to the north again and bring back more crystal utensils."

   was secretly delighted, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, but his face couldn't show any signs.

   Todd touched the cross on his chest and shook his head. His trembling hands matched the lingering face, making the other person feel ashamed for forcing him to go to the north in an instant.

   It seems to be chatting with old friends. The monk first avoided discussing whether he would like to go to sea. Instead, he first told the priest Rupert about his "experience in the north". The waves were surging, the rain was heavy, the hurricane was raging, and the barbarians were chased and killed. The degree of excitement is comparable to the plot of the previous Hollywood blockbuster, and he opens his mouth to make the other person startle with his adventure (made up), and the atmosphere does not dare to breathe.

   "I can return to my homeland, it is already the grace of the Father, how can I hope to obtain the blessing of the Holy Spirit again?"

   These words of Todd made Father Rupert feel afflicted and deeply moved.

The priest, who was oriented towards theology and not good at scheming, immediately patted his chest and promised loudly to the monk: “Don’t worry! Brother Todd! I’ll write to Bishop Fabian and persuade him to find someone else to do such a dangerous thing. Mission! It's my responsibility!"

   Todd heard this, his eyes were blank, and he said in his heart.

   You, why don't you play cards according to common sense.

  According to the routine, you should persuade you again. I will put forward the conditions and we will counter-offer. This matter can be settled.

  Why is the routine only halfway through, so you just put on your pants and said nothing?

Pulling the topic back to the original topic smoothly, while talking about his heart to the Father, he was grateful for the church’s principles. Todd vaguely reminded the other party a few words. If there are suitable conditions, he will consider going abroad again for the church’s sake. Swim to the north again.

   Under Father Rupert’s repeated questioning, Todd slowly put forward his terms.

   Three days later, St. Co.'s Cathedral, Bishop's Interpretation Hall.

Bishop Fabian looked at the letter sent by Father Rupert, touched his forehead, and said with a headache: "First, I hope to set up a church in Muxi Harbour to preach to the north; Second, I hope that the church will allocate materials and ships to him. And weapons; third, hope that the church will send a knight group of no less than 300 people~www.readwn.com~ as his **** to resist the pirates?"

   The subordinates in the room looked at each other.

Someone who was once a member of the visiting group, grateful for Todd's good deeds, mustered up the courage, and carefully worded: "Master Bishop, the combat effectiveness of the northern pirates cannot be underestimated. Our people have fought with them eight-on-one and almost lost. The journey to the north, in the words of the letter, is dangerous and a life of nine deaths, not too much..."

The bishop threw the letter on the table, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone: "The first two conditions are good to say. The last one is near the sea in the west. Where can I go to find the Knights of the Church to be his escort? Find and go to the barbarian land in the north, who would be willing to undertake such a task?"

   sat back in his chair, Fabian propped his forehead with the palm of his hand: "Obviously the first time I went to sea to return safely, the second time I became so greedy for life and fear of death. It is necessary to beat this kid..."

   At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

   After getting permission, the deacon walked into the room and looked at the bishop with a bitter expression.

   The latter sighed, "Is it Paul again?"

   The deacon nodded.

   The bishop shook his head and asked helplessly: "Go ahead, Father Paul, what's the matter?"

   The reporter looked around the other people in the room, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

   Fabian waved his hand to signal the others to go out temporarily; he picked up the letter on the table and opened the drawer.

  The deacon walked up to the bishop and whispered: "Father Paul said that Todd is a heretic, and he wants to initiate a heresy trial against him!"

   Bishop Fabian froze, turned his head in disbelief, and the letter paper in his hand fell to the ground.
