Chapter 950 Fragrant Pastry

Remember for a second

When Chen Rui returned to the territory, night had fallen, but there was an unexpected visitor waiting for him in the mansion, Cardinal Birmingham of the Church of Light.

There are three cardinals in the Church of Light, but these three cardinals belong to three factions, and these three factions represent the three supreme angels of Light, who have stood in the church for many years, always as a rock.

The first Rogge that Chen Rui saw belonged to the Pope Vanddis family, that is, the Michael family; Gralin belonged to the patriarch, the Saint Eudora faction, that is, the Raphael family; the Birmingham in front of him was another. A patriarch of the Pursmir family, the Gabriel family.

Chen Rui sensed the existence of Tiffany when he followed Ben Ben to the Holy Mountain of Light last time, but due to the urgency of the situation, it was too late to go to investigate. The peak of the stars of Patriarch Pushmir.

In fact, he left a star spot before the Temple of Light that time, and he used stealth to venture there once, but the temple that was originally close at hand could no longer be seen, and the power of ancient runes was everywhere. , seals all nearby spaces. If it wasn't for Chen Rui's extremely keen response to the ancient rune, he would have immediately returned to the same path without touching the rune, and he would have been trapped there.

This is also the reason why Chen Rui came close to Gralin. Now that Birmingham is visiting, he must have received news about the "Crown of Thorns" and came to fight for him as the "Holy Son".

Birmingham is a handsome man, he looks younger than Gralin, and his eyes are sharp, but when facing Chen Rui, he still shows a very polite attitude.

"His Royal Highness Arthur. It's the first time we met, and this time I'm taking the liberty of coming here. Please forgive me."

Chen Rui said in his heart, this is not the first time we have met. I gave you a starburst when I was on the Snow Peak Terrace of the Snowdale Tree, but now I can only pretend to be pure: "Where, I have admired the reputation of Lord Birmingham for a long time, and it is my whole Jin Yao to be able to come here. The honor of the territory, please take a seat."

"His Royal Highness Arthur is too polite," Birmingham sat down, "His Royal Highness Arthur is the third prince of the Longhuang Empire. Lord Jin Yao, and he is also one of the three great masters of human craftsmanship, even the most experienced elf master fee. Noah, they are full of praise for His Highness's alchemy skills. In just two months, the Jinyao territory has grown to an astonishing level, and Huanglong Wine is even more famous in the world. It is the only way to meet His Royal Highness Arthur. My pleasure."

"I just got the inheritance of the ancient civilization by luck. I copied the achievements of my predecessors, how can I be praised by the Lord of Birmingham." Chen Rui smiled slightly. "Arthur"'s inheritance of ancient civilizations is already an open secret to those in the circle, which is the most "reasonable" explanation for the reason why he has a master-level weapon crafting technique.

"No one can deny that luck. It is also a kind of strength, such as... the crown of thorns." Birmingham's tone changed, and finally introduced the topic.

"The crown of thorns. It was indeed luck and an accident." Chen Rui frowned and shrugged. "There are many accidents in this world. For example, I have been missing for seven years. Another example is that I suddenly became a master. Oh, yes, it is also an accident, a pleasant surprise, to get to know Lord Birmingham."

Chen Rui said a few words, and then diverted the topic unhurriedly. While chatting with him, Birmingham frowned secretly. This third prince is really not simple, and he is so calm at such a young age.

"His Royal Highness, you are a sensible person, so I won't make a fool of myself." Birmingham smiled, "Actually, His Highness should have guessed my purpose. I wonder if His Highness intends to become the patron of the God of Light?"

"I have been recognized by the Crown of Thorns, and naturally I cannot ignore the relationship with the Church of Light." Chen Rui said indifferently, "However, I am the third prince of the Longhuang Empire, and I am also a strong contender for the throne in the future. This point, my lord. Shouldn't deny it."

"The ruler of the empire and the care of the God of Light...even the leader of the entire church, there is no conflict. If it is possible, the first double king in human history will have control of the Holy Empire and the church at the same time. It is not only unprecedented, but also very likely. There is no one to come! His Majesty Pushmir and all the power of the Temple of the Stars will fully support His Highness to leave such a stroke in the annals of history that countless future generations look up to."

Chen Rui looked at Birmingham's smile and said lightly: "The same thing, another cardinal of your religion, Lord Gralin, also said it, but the difference is that my supporter has been replaced by The Holy Maiden Eudora and the House of the Holy Family. I'm curious, should I pay attention to this distinction between believers of the God of Light?"

"This..." Birmingham's expression was stagnant, but he quickly reacted, "Just like the differences between the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince in the Dragon Emperor's country, the Holy Mountain also has some corresponding differences, the difference is that , The difference between the holy mountain will not end because of the progress of time, so Your Highness can not pay too much attention to this difference, but it cannot be completely ignored, in essence, we are all believers of the God of Light."

Chen Rui showed a playful look: "Lord Birmingham means that I recognize the support of Her Majesty Pushmir and the Temple of the Stars, and there is no difference between recognizing the support of Her Majesty the Holy Maiden and the Temple of the Holy Family?"

Birmingham's eyes flashed: "Yes."

"Since there is no difference, why should I choose the Palace of Stars?" Chen Rui's smile became more meaningful, "I know Lord Gralin first, and if I offend you, my friendship with Lord Birmingham is not as good as Lord Gralin. "

On the contrary, Birmingham calmed down: "Friendship is a kind of bargaining chip, as long as the chips are enough, you can make friends.

easy. His Highness was able to manage Jin Yao's territory to such a level in such a short period of time, and he should know this better than me. "

"A chip?" Chen Rui smiled: "Any chips?"

Birmingham nodded: "Anything within my power."

"What if... the robe of holy light and the Holy Grail?" Chen Rui looked into Birmingham's eyes, "I have already obtained the crown of thorns, and Lord Birmingham should know what I want."

"It seems that Gralin has already told His Highness about the Three Holy Artifacts..." Birmingham nodded slowly, but shook his head again: "This is an extraordinary period, and the Church is joining forces with the two Holy Empires to deal with the Black Death. It is unrealistic for the great empire to ask for the robe of holy light and the Holy Grail, but. For His Royal Highness, these two creatures are not difficult. The robe of holy light is almost equal to what His Highness has in his pocket. As for the Holy Grail...I heard about the blue The news of the engagement announced by the Yao Empire, with the Pearl Princess present, it is not impossible for His Highness to win back the beauty and the relic at the same time. Of course, no matter the former or the latter, I think His Highness should understand that it is inseparable from the church. support."

These words are actually similar to what Gralin said last time. Chen Rui nodded, and he already had a bottom line in his heart. It seems that it is indeed impossible to use the church to directly obtain holy relics from the two holy empires. At least not in his current identity as "Arthur".

"What if I only want the same beauty and sacred object?" Chen Rui thought about it, "Or is the woman I want someone else?"

"Surprising choice," Birmingham was slightly surprised, thinking of some information about the past of His Royal Highness "Arthur", and nodded: "Is His Highness ready to have a bad relationship with the Lanyao Empire? If so The words of 'His Majesty the Son', who wholeheartedly serve the God of Light, can be justified, and the church should be able to solve it satisfactorily."

"Really?" Chen Rui's smile became more determined: "Then, I would like to know some introductions about the Palace of Stars, including His Majesty Pusmir and the members, it is best to be more detailed."

Birmingham's eyes brightened. While the two were talking, Samuel came to report: "The Cardinal of the Church of Light, Lord Rogge, arrived in the Jinyao Land. He has already checked into the Red Eagle Inn and sent an envoy to bring gifts. He said that he will visit His Royal Highness early tomorrow morning."

"Understood, Samuel, you will go to the Red Eagle Inn on my behalf to thank Lord Roger. Just say, I will be waiting for Lord Roger in the mansion tomorrow morning."

"As ordered."

Birmingham's face was a little ugly: "Hmph. Cardinal Rogge, what a big deal."

"Compared to another cardinal who waited in the mansion all day. There is indeed a difference. For Lord Birmingham, I am more apologetic in my heart."

"Your Highness is very polite." Birmingham smiled, "Actually, I didn't wait here all day. During the day, I went to His Highness's territory to go around. Jin Yao's territory is indeed the most prosperous territory of the Longhuang Empire, especially this time. After the trade fair, Huanglong wine will become the most well-known wine in the world. It's just... Please be blunt, due to the short time of His Highness' return and the reason of the previous His Royal Highness Garfield, whether it is manpower, material resources, control There are still many flaws in Jin Yao's territory in terms of power and other aspects... If Your Highness wants to absolutely control the territory, the road ahead is not smooth. His Highness Pusmir once explained that he would do everything possible to help His Highness. I don't know if His Highness will accept it. This kindness? Also, as a master craftsman, Your Highness definitely needs all kinds of materials, and the Palace of Stars happens to be in charge of a large number of related resources, Your Highness can take whatever you want."

Sure enough, there are competitors, there is motivation, and Birmingham, who was still hidden before, when he heard Roger's arrival, he immediately revealed all the chips in his hand.

In the same way, Rogge and Gralin will also become one of the "bidders", but these guys don't know what kind of "surprise" the "Holy Son of the Holy Son" they "bid" will bring to the Holy Mountain of Light. ".

Chen Rui's mind suddenly flashed, and the whole person's eyes shone with incomparably bright light.

"Lord Birmingham's kindness is really hard to refuse," Chen Rui nodded. "For the sake of this 'friendship', Lord Birmingham, let me give you a hint. I like money, I like it very much, because no matter what In that place, the benefits of money are always beyond imagination.”

Birmingham was a little surprised: "How much does Your Highness want?"

"I think you misunderstood, Lord Birmingham. What I want is not rigid money, but living, that is, a way to make money, like yellow dragon wine. According to my inside information, the recent research on Dragon Valley has been successful. A kind of practice magic game, unfortunately, those stubborn dragons are not willing to..."

As Chen Rui said that, he habitually narrowed his eyes slightly. Those who knew him well knew that this was the rhythm of a yin person. (To be continued..)
