Chapter 569

Ayres, Guangming mountain, holy see.

The Pope, dressed in a starched yellow priest's white robe, sat behind the oak desk, writing on a piece of stationery with a quill pen in his hand. The hard tip of the pen crossed the paper and played a unique rustle in the small guest room.

At this time, footsteps from far to near came from the corridor outside the door, followed by the sound of slamming the door. Clement inserted the quill pen into the ink tank and said aloud:

"Please come in."

The beech door was pushed open from the outside and a hale and hearty old man came in. He has a ruddy complexion and a straight waist. He looks solemn and dignified in a gorgeous and restrained cardinal robe and a dark gold bishop crown symbolizing level 6 shepherds.

The heavy door was closed to isolate the movement of the Pope's private lounge from the outside. The old shepherd took off the dark gold crown, exposed his carefully combed silver hair, and asked with a loud smile:

"Clement, what's the good thing? Are you anxious to come to me?"

The Pope leaned against the back of his chair, pointed to the armchair opposite the writing desk, smiled gently and said, "Lazarus, sit down and talk... Can you use me to move a chair for you now?"

This light and healthy old man is Lazarus, the former cardinal and now Cardinal of Gambis. A few years ago, he was still old and weak. Now he has been promoted to level 6 priest and mastered the art of delaying life. The gullies on his face and scars on his skin have disappeared. His long lost energy has returned to him. If it were not for his silver hair and beard, it is difficult for people to imagine that he is an 80 year old priest.

Ordinary priests are generally difficult to live to this age. The use of divination will consume the spiritual power and vitality of priests to a certain extent, so as to shorten their life. This is the price that mortals pay for using extraordinary power. The life delay of level 6 divination can passively feed people's soul and body with holy power. As long as you pay attention to maintenance and use less divination, the theoretical life of level 6 priests is equivalent to that of silver knights. They can even carve the life delaying divinity into the holy power crystal before dying to make life prolonging divinity items and reward them to paladins or ordinary nobles. It is actually a privileged divination given by Pope Enoch to level 6 priests.

This is why the priest's social status and reputation are always higher than that of the paladin.

Who wants the great first Pope to be a priest?

Delaying life can prolong life, but can not restore youth. Lazarus and Clement are similar in age. They have served the same high-level shepherd since childhood. Their appearance and age look twice as bad as before. Clement is not only a level 6 priest, but also a junior knight. His soul and body are much stronger than ordinary people. Lazarus was just an ordinary man. The cardinal who had worked in gangbis diocese for 30 years was promoted to level 6 pastor, returned to the Holy See and finally found a cardinal seat.

However, in order to relieve Clement's pressure on the Privy Council, he handed over the hard-working parish of Gambis to the patriarch tamore. In terms of practical influence, Lazarus is now far inferior to other Cardinals.

This shows how deep the relationship between Lazarus and clement is.

Put the crown on the writing table, Lazarus opened his chair and sat down. He picked up Clement's letter paper and said, "eh".

"Is this... Writing paper? White writing paper?"

Clement clasped his hands on the table, nodded and smiled: "Pastor piergen of the Diocese of suss made this kind of white writing paper by beating the devil grass roots of the eastern alliance and the white rock wood stems of the dusk forest into pulp. Although its process is complex and the raw materials are expensive, it is still cheaper than the sheepskin scroll. Most importantly, the manufacturing specifications of this kind of writing paper can be adjusted arbitrarily. It is very convenient to draw a big map The map paper sewn with animal skin has more advantages. Moreover, it is light and thin, foldable and easy to store and transport. The only disadvantage is that the process is complex, there are too many residues and the output is limited. It can not replace animal skin paper for the time being. "

"If we hand over the manufacturing process of white writing paper to his highness Randall of Renma hill, we can receive a reward of 800 gold sol from him. Unfortunately, pilgen firmly disagrees with the process. He said that this kind of paper is specially used to issue mutual aid vouchers in the Diocese of SUS."

With a slight sigh, the Pope leaned back and said: "Old man, can you believe it? Victor offered a reward to develop papermaking technology a few years ago, not only to use wheat straw to solve people's personal hygiene problems, but his ultimate goal is to invent paper that can write and is cheap. From this point, we can see that he had an idea of general schools and vocational schools long ago... If I could manage all his politics at that time You will see a complete tenant system several years in advance... His wisdom and talent are like miracles. It's amazing. "

"Fortunately, the three natural wise people are closely related to the church. His majesty Enoch and pastor Arya are the servants of the Supreme Lord. Although his highness Randall is a secular Lord, his many measures are of great significance to the pastor's missionary work, just like a general school. If he insists on running his own school, we can't allow it... In essence, wise people must be able to give consideration to God at the same time The interests of officials, knights, nobles and ordinary believers... This must be the guidance of our Lord. " Lazarus said as he read the contents of the writing paper.

"Praise my Lord." Clement bowed his head and said with a smile, "Victor should be inspired by father Miller to be close to the Church... This is indeed the guidance of our Lord."

Bishop Lazarus raised his head, raised the writing paper in his hand, and said in surprise: "it is written on the exiled Gambis knights and nobles for nearly 20 years."

Clement nodded, took out a sheepskin scroll from the next drawer, pushed it to Lazarus, raised his hand and motioned him to read it.

This letter came from the remote Renma hill, which was written by Bishop Perot. It recorded two things: first, Renma Hill agreed that the missionaries sent by the church should intervene in the daily education of craftsman schools and soldier schools, but did not allow the church to intervene in the escort training camp; The second thing, Sylvia asked the Pope to help him persuade Jin to adopt some noble children under the age of 15 among the exiled knights and nobles.

Efforts to expand the scope of missionary education was the main goal of the Privy Council during this period. Sylvia agreed that missionaries' involvement in the daily education of vocational colleges was of great significance to the church.

Children's thoughts are simple, and it is particularly easy to shape their faith in the Lord of glory. Moreover, their hearts are pure and innocent, and the power of faith provided is extremely pure. Missionaries of the general education college organize children to sing poems in the morning and evening every day, read and read in the morning, copy church classics with a sand table, exercise and learn basic martial arts in the afternoon. Even if the general education college is not within the scope of the faith law array, the priest can collect high-quality holy power crystals from it every day.

It's rare that the Lord gathered so many children together. How can the missionaries only educate them for four years? It's best to educate them until they reach adulthood. However, the costs of general education schools are borne by the LORD alone. On the issue of educating young children, the church has a lower voice than the Lord. Many lords are even unwilling to continue to open vocational schools. At this time, the stationed priests always talk about people and horses.

Look at the development achievements of Renma hill in recent years. His highness Randall, a university student, insists on running vocational schools. Even if you are as stupid as a donkey, you will not be fooled by learning. If you don't learn now, other families will follow suit. You will regret it in the future.

Renma hill has become the object of the lords to emulate. Jinshui city has set an example by opening vocational schools to missionaries. Although it's a pity for missionaries to stop at the squire training camp, it's reasonable, not to mention that the number of people in the squire training camp is not too large.

The second thing puzzled Lazarus.

The exiled knights and nobles are generally the losers in the family struggle or the scapegoats sacrificed by the family. They must lead their families and vassals to the twilight forest defense line in the north of Susi, first serve hard labor ranging from 10 to 20 years, and help the temple army and Susi Lord resist the invasion of the Twilight jackals. Accepting Lord Susi's solicitation is their only way out. If the exiled Knight dies and there are no naturally awakened Knights among his blood relatives, this small family can only be exiled to the Eastern League, and there is no possibility of turning over.

It seemed normal for Sylvia to choose some chivalrous descendants among these hopeless exiled families, but she found the wrong person.

The tribunal is responsible for the exile of knights and nobles. Sylvia asks the trigowal family for several children of exiled knights. They will not lose face to the divine knights. But when the Pope came forward to arrange this matter, the Privy Council exceeded its authority, because the tribunal is nominally only responsible to the Pope and does not accept the dispatch of the Privy Council.

Lazarus scratched his neat silver hair, looked at the list in his hand, knocked on the table, leaned forward, stared at Clement's soft blue eyes, and said in a low voice:

"This is not to persuade Jin to adopt, this is a hostage! Does the queen of roses want to intervene in the eastern alliance?"

Trigowar United Holy Mountain Monastery regards the eastern alliance as its own back garden and earns a lot of wealth from the population trade and swamp specialty trade every year. They do not allow forces other than sus and Borui to intervene in the eastern alliance. Ordinary refugee groups can't even bubble into the East. Only the exiled nobles are protected by the glorious code and the New Testament of light, and can gain a foothold in the Eastern League, but they will also be slowly concocted by the magistrates and holy mountain priests.

Sylvia avoided trigova and went directly to the Pope's dignitaries. It was obvious that she planned to secretly lay out the eastern alliance and insert a few nails into it first.

Clement shook his head, smiled and said, "it's not the queen of roses, it's his highness Randall."

Lazarus thought for a moment, nodded and said, "you're right, this is not Sylvia's style. The divine Knights will become aggressive and irresistible only when they are about to die. Before that, they were generally more restrained and did not easily make enemies for the future generations of the family."

"Then why does his highness Randall plan the Eastern League now?"

"If I can see through his ideas, I either have rare wisdom and talent, or I am a top God dependent." Clement said with clear eyes: "but I believe his highness Randall has seen that we are ready to attack the referee."

Lazarus was silent, and it was his habit to keep silent about things he didn't understand.

Clement shook his head and smiled bitterly. "That's not good for you, old man... Turnans asked if he didn't understand and couldn't stop. If you didn't ask, I don't know where to start."

Lazarus said with a straight face, "from the beginning."

Clement pondered for a moment and said: "You know, I designed Kent and Wallace to guard Raven Town, but Sylvia received my favor. Therefore, I owe Rael garel a favor... Vera Rael garel and Neo West secretly became partners, and her father asked me to arrange for Neo West and Victor to meet more. The reason for this was that nahtigal encouraged the royal family of Rand Empire to enter the East In the Southern Alliance, trigowar was worried. They secretly united with the six families of SUS, Bory, tamore and paladins to try to lead Neo West's eyes to the southern continent. "

Lazarus nodded and said, "this may be right in the arms of nahtigar. Although we don't want to see the bright Iron Guard develop secular power, how can nahtigar and Neo west be separated so easily after more than 300 years of marriage? Nahtigar has broken out of the shackles of the kingdom of Al whether Neo West crosses the Henan or moves eastward."

"That's right. As soon as trigowar was anxious, he fell into the trap of nahtigar and exposed his weakness." Clement continued: "I still can't figure out why his highness Randall arranged the Eastern League, but he obviously smelled a different smell. Seeing the flaws of the Eastern League, he thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Because after his brief contact with Neo West, he neither agreed with Vera's proposal nor explicitly rejected it, but deliberately shelved relevant issues. He was waiting to see the development of the situation and wait for a solution The opportunity to hand. "

"Some time ago, Perot asked Ron to test his highness Randall and talked about the admission of the vassal's children to the general education school. In such a simple conversation, his highness Randall asked Ron what to do if the general education school found a young wizard? Ron told him that the young wizard was dealt with by the referee... Today, he asked me to help him install him in the Eastern League Nails. "

Lazarus took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "Ron doesn't know. You have a plan to put the referee under the Privy Council... Your highness Randall can see it so easily?"

"He obviously saw it."

Lazarus shook his head and said, "clement, I can't support you on this issue... We will only benefit the tamore faction if we fight with trigova. Don't forget that behind the referee's office are the Knights of glory and fledes."

Clement Twain said, "old man, I didn't make it clear... The 'we' seen by his highness Randall refers to everyone except trigowal and the holy mountain priest."

"Including me, tamore, Flanders, nahtigal, and... The five Paladin families of the shining knights."
