Chapter 377

There were no outsiders in the hall. Thurnans didn't have to pretend any more. He asked curiously, "under the crown, what did you and Sylvia think of?"

"This problem involves many aspects. Turnans, you have to be patient."

Clement turned to Perot and said, "setting up a medium-sized prayer array requires a lot of holy power crystals and at least 80 ounces of secret silver. These extraordinary materials can not be bought with money. Coupled with the cost of maintaining the array, the cathedral uses at least 60 holy power crystals every year."

"The three cathedrals in Gambis are all located in the refugee gathering areas, including aughib, the northern main city of the augustian family, brinor, the king's capital, and vistock of the Wellington family. For example, the deep water city of the Joshua family, the Val city of the NIM family, the copper city of SoLIM, the golden water city of the York family, and now Yeliu City, there are cathedrals in name, but in fact they are only small prayer arrays 。”

"Randall's collar is developing at an amazing speed, but its geographical location is remote. It is adjacent to the Everglades in the west, the Jinshui River in the south, the Duke of York in the north and Yeliu city and chebman in the East. Geographical factors determine that Pinghu Town can not become a transportation hub and material distribution center, and it can not even be regarded as the rear. This is the front line to resist the ant tide. The York family is an outpost to explore the southern continent, and the future will be bright Pinghu City is an important military town. "

"My student, why did you let the Privy Council set up a medium-sized prayer array in Pinghu Town?"

"Yes! Why?" Thurnans touched his shiny head and shouted, "the shining Knights recently submitted a military plan to recapture a white crystal mining area in the northern wilderness. They plan to transfer 6000 paladins from the dusk forest and ask the referee and Templars to provide support. I have Templars to help you defend Pinghu Town cathedral?"

Bishop Perot frowned and said, "Archbishop Lazarus recently found a rich white crystal mine outside the dark forest. There is no need for the shining knight to venture for the white crystal mine in the northern wilderness."

"That's right. Their military plan doesn't even set a time for action." Turnans patted his thigh and said proudly: "I discussed with crown Xia and thought that the shining knights were playing a trick of taking advance as retreat. They didn't allow us to think about the temple army. The temple army could only expand north, regardless of South. As soon as the news that the shining Knights planned to transfer paladins from the dusk forest came out, the kingdom of SUS jumped up and down in a hurry. The Privy Council and ivory holy castle were under great pressure, and the shining Knights' Military Adventure plan We can only put it on hold. Are we joining the Templar army for the new paladins or Templars, arguing with the shining Knight there! "

"Just showed a little sign, began to argue?" Perot murmured that he could imagine the dangerous situation Clement faced in the Privy Council.

"This is expected." The pope said calmly: "Further is to take a step back, and further is to take a step back. Lazarus is about to be promoted to level 6 priest and return to the Privy Council. I am ready to support Thain in taking over the post of Archbishop of gonbis. At the same time, I will transfer Oleg back to El to run St. Benedict Abbey, and archbishop Borui will be held by Crewe. In exchange, tamore will support Max as archbishop of Wharton grassland. ”

"Teacher, never!" Perot sprang to his feet and exclaimed.

The secular lords only thought that the church had three forces: the Knights of glory, the Privy Council and the Presbyterian order, but the fact was much more complicated.

The Privy Council is nominally the highest authority of the church. When the order of shining Knights was the most powerful, the six Paladin families directly controlled the temple army and St. ograt monastery, kicked all the disobedient high-ranking priests to Benedict monastery and ivory castle, and was responsible for training junior priests and junior paladins. The Privy Council became the logistics and missionary organization of the paladin group.

More than 300 years ago, the secular lords united the two monasteries to launch the rebellion of the holy city and forced the order of the shining knights to conclude the new covenant of light. The most important provision was that the three monasteries were in charge of the Privy Council, which decided the promotion sequence of priests and paladins.

Since St. ograt abbey is the direct line of the Knights of glory, it is difficult for priests in this line to lead the Privy Council, while priests in Benedict Abbey and ivory Castle compete with each other for the throne of Pope.

Today, Reverend frieds, the representative of the oglat monastery, is in charge of the educational administration of the Sassanian Empire and the Wharton prairie. Clement, the representative of the Benedict monastery, holds the post of Pope, and the Benedict priest is in charge of the educational administration of the kingdom of Gambis, Neville and Borui. The representative of the ivory saint is Reverend tamore, and the Archbishop of his line controls the educational administration of the kingdom of Dodo and Sus.

Bishop Thain of Gambis and Bishop Crewe of Borui both have the background of ivory Saint castle. Clement supports them to take over the position of cardinal, which is equivalent to handing over the two dioceses of Gambis and Borui to pastor tamore, in exchange for the Walton prairie diocese.

Frieds couldn't pour the water from Wharton grassland. Would he let Clement's disciple Max take over the position of grassland Archbishop?

Sure!

In the context of the great development, Clement's abandonment of the two dioceses of Borui and Gambis means that the Benedictine priests give up the South expansion and concentrate on helping the kingdom of Neville to attack the northern wilderness. The glorious Knights need the support of the neville people to counter attack the northern wilderness. However, Neville's strength can only attack the Sassanian Empire and pick up some leftovers.

As a result, the Benedictine priest became a partner of the order of brilliant knights, and frieds was certainly willing to give up the teaching position of the prairie to the Pope's disciples.

In contrast, tamore in Ivory Castle connects the dioceses of suss and Borui, and dodo and Gambis. The priest of ivory castle is a well deserved leader of Nanto.

Clement did avoid the internal strife of the Privy Council, but what's the use of the prairie?

Now whoever leads the development is qualified to strive for church resources, arrange the promotion of confidants, strengthen the strength of the school and master the voice of the Privy Council. In Perot's view, Clement should exchange Borui archdiocese for dodo Archdiocese of ivory Saint castle, integrate dodo, Neville and Gambis, and simultaneously realize the North expansion and South expansion strategies.

To put it bluntly, the holy power pool is so big that it can train several level 6 priests?

Perot dare not expect the Pope's throne, but level 6 clergy has life delaying divinity. Does that high-ranking priest want to live a few more years?

Clement withdrew Benedictine's position in the Privy Council. How else can he get in?

Perot's heart sank at the thought of Thain riding on his head and pointing fingers at the educational administration of the horse hill.

"The terms of exchange include your promotion to level 6 priest." Clement seemed to see through the disciple's mind and said faintly.

Turnans squeezed his eyes at Perot and joked, "Perot boy, you will be a legendary priest in the future. Are you happy?"

Bishop Perot was over half a hundred years old and looked older than the Pope. At this time, he was full of surprises. He didn't care that he was called a boy by turnans. He tried to control his facial muscles. He said with a ashamed face: "thank you, teacher. Perot will live up to the teacher's expectations."

"What do I expect of you?" Clement asked with a smile.

Perot leaned over slightly and said respectfully, "please tell the teacher."

Clement raised his hand, motioned his disciples to sit down and said, "tell me first, why do you want to set up a cathedral under Randall?"

Perot pondered for a moment and said, "mainly because there are too few priests available to me and the Randall family expands too fast, the educational administration of Randall can not keep up with the development speed of Randall. For balance, I think it is necessary to build a cathedral in Pinghu Town."

"First of all, Baron fenicos and Viscount Randall are basically a territory. Lord Victor actually controls a population of more than 85000, most of which are migrant workers. Here, we have only two third-class priests, two second-class priests, six first-class priests, 20 paladins and 127 church attendants. With such a small number of manpower, we can't even get the believers busy with medical assistance, They also preside over prayer ceremonies, distribute relief supplies, calculate 11 taxes, and monitor wizards... "

"Well, I can see that Randall's educational administration work is arranged in good order and there is no confusion."

Thurnas said strangely: "Didn't Viscount Randall organize a medical team of more than 700 people to help the priest heal the people and distribute relief materials? What's the name of the members of the medical team? By the way, nurse! The nurse packs food and shelter and receives 50 copper sols a month. Viscount Randall not only pays 1100 Silver sols to the medical team every month, but also donates a large number of materials to the church. There is no one A lord, like Viscount Randall, will support the priest's academic affairs out of his own pocket. "

"That's what I'm worried about!"

Bishop Perot sighed and said: "Victor didn't let Miller distribute prickly kidney beans and designated relief objects for the donated materials. He openly interfered in the educational administration while the church's strength in Randall was insufficient!"

With his mouth open and his face full of shock and confusion, Clement smiled: "In the past two years, Randall's newborn birth rate ranks first in the Viscount's Parish, even higher than that of most earls. The death rate of believers is lower than that of any Parish, and no one even died of cold and hunger. These are all your achievements. Otherwise, the pivot hospital will not easily promote you to level 6 priest." The Pope's tone gradually became serious. "Don't we allow Viscount Randall to do what we haven't done well?"

Perot was surprised, got up in a hurry and said sincerely, "teacher, I'm wrong!" He smiled bitterly and explained, "I'm also trying to protect Viscount Randall."

With a curious expression on his face, thurnans asked, "how to protect Viscount Randall? He's in danger?"

"Yes." Perot nodded and said, "Victor is noble in blood, young and vigorous. There is no restriction of knights and vassals in the family, and Sylvia connives behind him. He leads Randall and has great power. Randall leads a large population and the strength of the church is relatively weak. I'm afraid he will feed Wizards."

Turnans rubbed his bare chin and said, "it makes sense."

It's nothing new for the grand Lord to secretly keep wizards, but the refugees like to tell each other in exchange for the great reward of the church. The Lord is difficult and dare not accept the refugees' wizards, and the Wizards born in vassal families are often sheltered by the grand Lord, and the church can hardly grasp any handle.

Fortunately, the number of refugee groups far exceeds that of vassals, and the proportion of wizard awakening is also higher than that of vassals. However, the Randall family has extremely strict control over the migrant workers and directly manages the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the migrant workers. If Randall had the awakening of wizards, Victor must have found out before the church that he was likely to keep wizards. At least he had the courage.

"There's another problem."

Bishop Perot said with a serious look: "Victor recruited mercenaries. He formulated a military merit reward system. One of them is that those who died in the war compensated 10 mu of cultivated land, and those who fled without authorization were convicted of cheating the nobility and beheaded in public! Ordinary vassal soldiers were first granted land and then served military service, but the mercenaries of Randall family were the opposite... Victor took the refugees as the victims!"

The Lord's keeping a wizard is not a big crime. It can be ended by handing over the wizard and punishing a large sum of money. At most, the church is to exile or imprison a scapegoat aristocrat. But the consequences of the Lord's sacrifice of the refugees were very serious enough for the church to send the emperor to the scaffold.

Turnans touched his bald head and muttered, "I don't think it's bad."

The pope said nothing, his expression was calm and his eyes were deep and distant, which made it difficult to guess his inner thoughts.

Perot paused and continued, "I don't want Victor to go the wrong way, but I know it's difficult to convince him. The next step to build a cathedral in Pinghu Town is to build a monastery. Then the referee sent a monitoring team to form a complete missionary system under Randall's leadership. I think Victor should calm down. As he said, power needs to be restricted."

Clement tapped the table with his forefinger and sighed, "Perot, I now believe you really want to protect Viscount Randall. There's another important thing you didn't mention."
