Release that Witch Chapter 123: Church’s invitation
Roland recruited stronghold and stronghold nearby size noble into the castle hall on the fourth day.
Although most people know the news, he feels it necessary to emphasize in person that -- Western Region has changed to a new owner.
When he declared that he would return to Border Town and hand over stronghold to the eldest son of Honeysuckle Family, everyone immediately talked. Of course, no one is willing to take the lead to stand up at this time to express dissent. The head of Duke is still hanging high at the city gate mouth, and the news of the Timothy defeat has made speculators unable to do so with the help of external forces.
Except for Knight of Honeysuckle Family, the other captured Knight will not accept the ransom, and together with those mercenaries will be escorted back to Border Town. In the plan of Roland, mercenaries were sent to mine for labor reform, while Knight adopted -- as appropriate after examining its repentance attitude. After all, most Knights are literate and can be used as enlightenment teachers for universal education. Of course, they are not allowed to use weapon in this life.
In this way, the power of Honeysuckle Family will stabilize Four Great Families. The military force in his hand is basically sufficient to defend Longsong Stronghold and his Earl collar. Roland thought that as for the undercurrent flowing under the water, Petrov should worry about it thing.
In the past few days, he also took the time to send personal guard to capture a group of officials who caused the Border Town residents to starve to death two years ago, including Minister of Finance Freno, who will be tried by the people at Border Town. The only regret is that Hill Thai.Dmitry Earl, the culprit who killed Greyhound in an attempt to burn the grass and grass, died directly on the battlefield without trial.
Today, the traffic between Longsong Stronghold and Border Town has been completely restored. In the coming week, there will be more than ten sailing ships every day, and the natural resource will be continuously transported to Border Town. Roland guessed that Barov must be busy next time. It is also receiving coins plundered from Duke, and it is also to resettle a large number of immigrants. I don't know if the temporary wooden shed set up by Karl has been done.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to return to Border Town as soon as possible to preside over the upcoming farming cause.
The small and large nobles have lunch. When Roland is going to take a nap, the castle welcomes a special guest.
Taylor High Priest of Longsong Stronghold church.
Roland suddenly no drowsiness.
Unlike Border Town, Church has taken root here for a long time. Not only has it built a church, it has also dispatched a High Priest to station here. This is also the main reason why the prince decided to return to the development of Border Town. -- Under the long-term indoctrination and influence of Church, any civilian may become their eyeliner. The plan that he wants public participation will be constrained everywhere, and the risk of witches being discovered Also multiplied. Unless the church is uprooted, his reforms will be very difficult.
Church pays close attention to the replacement of stronghold feudal lord. It is quite normal. Roland is strange. They can only tolerate sending representatives to deal with themselves today. However, the identity of the visitor is not simple. The followers of High Priest are already high-level figures of Church's. They are responsible for supervising one party, and their territories are similar to the secular Duke.
He met the other party in the lobby as usual.
Taylor High Priest is a middle-aged man, wearing a Church white robe with a blue background on a white background. He is about forty years old, and his clothes and looks are very neat. He speaks and behaves like a polite noble. If it is not sitting on the side of witch and the royal family, I am afraid that anyone who talks with such people will be happy.
High Priest must be carrying a high-quality qualitative God Punishment Stone. In order to avoid accidents, Roland specifically instructed Nightingale to stay away from the other party before the meeting.
After Taylor salute, Roland invited him to the seat and ordered attendants to bring tea.
No matter what you think, you still have to work on the surface.
"His Highness the Prince of Esteemed, I send blessings on behalf of Holy City," Taylor said with a smile, "You have become the true master of Western Region, I hope gods may bless you."
"Thank you," Roland replied in a light tone, "It seems you don't care at all that I killed Duke Ryan and seized Longsong Stronghold."
"We rarely interfere in worldly disputes. As long as it makes people better off, we are a wise king. As for which family he was born from, or from the royal family, is not the focus of Church. In fact, Church Promotion has never been based on status. I used to be a farmer's son, and now I can hold the post of High Priest in teaching, "he smiled." Excuse me, my lord, no farmer's son can become Duke. Right? "
If he launches an uprising to overthrow the royal family, he can still become King. Roland thought so, but did not refute it, and changed the topic directly, "So you came here today just to send a blessing?"
"The blessing is only part of it, and I also bring cooperation."
"Cooperation? What cooperation?"
"In expanding territory and influence, we can help you within your ability."
"Wait ..." Roland frowned. "You also said that Church rarely interferes in worldly disputes."
"Few interventions are not equal to non-interferences," High Priest still calmly said, "Now the battle between your brother Timothy and Third Princess Garcia has made southern region people boring. I said that as long as the world lives a stable and peaceful life, Church acknowledges him Is a king worthy of Esteemed. And you are just such a person. "
Roland is awkward. Is this the other party's intention to help them fight for the throne? He asked subconsciously, "Why?"
"You led the Border Town's people to fight against Evil Beast and passed Months of Demons safely, which proves your courage and ability. You can see from the large amount of food bought by Willow Town that you do n’t want your people to starve and freeze. This is kindness Performance. Having three noble qualities and being the blood of the royal family is why we chose you. "
Roland doesn't believe the other party's reason at all, but these words at least prove that even when Border Town is in the isolated state of Daxuefengshan, Church is still watching this remote place.
"How to help, send Judgement Army to fight for me?"
"We also want to quell the war as soon as possible, but doing so will arouse the dissatisfaction of most noble, so we can only provide help from materials." High Priest took out two **** from his arms, one red and one black, "This is Holy City God Prayer Chamber --, which is equivalent to the medicine made by your Alchemic Workshop. The red pill can temporarily give your subordinates a powerful power, while the black pill can make them tolerate the pain, the severe cold, and the heat. advanced mathematics times. Drugs, your army will be unstoppable. And Church only charges the most basic production cost, "He paused," a five gold royal. As for these two pills, they can be given as a test product to you to prove me What is said is true.
"What is the return you are asking for? Expand the congregation and build churches in every territory?"
"It's certainly good, but it is our intention to calm down the war. As long as the people settle down, they will naturally fall into the arms of God."
Roland accepted the pill, "It sounds amazing, but I have no plans to compete for the Greycastle crown for the time being. Whether it is Timothy or Garcia, it is my blood of my dear ones. I do not want to hurt them."
"I can understand," High Priest smiled, "But sometimes family relationships can't stop the temptation of power, especially when you become a stumbling block on their way to seizing power. Pills are just the beginning. The help we can provide is Many, if you decide to take that step, you can come to the church at any time. "Speaking of this, he stood up and bowed down to salute." Church's resolution I have brought, I hope gods is with you, Your Highness. "
