Chapter 1054, I Am a Brick of His Majesty
PS: When you saw the update of this chapter, I was undergoing root canal surgery in the hospital because of acute pulpitis. The pain was so painful that I rolled on the bed in pain at night, and I couldn’t sleep o(╥﹏╥) o.
When Alfred's army arrived in Brunswick, it was already a bit late.
More than 20,000 church troops are gathering in the capital, including many religious troops, provincial troops, and troops privately sponsored by the electors. Twenty great swordsmen were dispatched to participate in this holy war.
As a rising star in the church, Alfred is not too close to the capital of the empire. Everyone can understand that he arrived late. In addition, Patriarch Alfred is the childhood playmate and best friend of Knight King Ryan ( Of course, there used to be rumors that they were good brothers with a negative distance), and everyone in the church showed respect to him, or at least did not sneer at him.
However, Alfred's complexion was not very good, and he smiled reluctantly in the face of everyone's greetings and inquiries. Everyone was guessing whether the Patriarch had offended the Knight King and the Lake God and Witch.
"Patriarch Alfred Damien Wien of the Diocese of West Britannia, it's been a long time." One of the two great chanters, the great chanter of Brunswick, Karl Vern Esme III, Emperor Lanz’s religious adviser and representative of divine power, took the initiative to say hello to Alfred. He seemed very enthusiastic: “Just like everyone else, I will call you Alfred, welcome back to Brunswick, In this city that belonged to Charlemagne, we have to face a new challenge."
Alfred was not surprised by this. Many sources said that Esme III was no longer satisfied with continuing to be a great chant master, but wanted to become an archbishop. allies.
The patriarch maintained basic courtesy to Esme, but he didn't seem close: "Hello, Your Excellency Esme III, the God of justice blesses us and everyone."
Normally, the position of the great reciter is much higher than that of the regional patriarch. Under Archbishop Vicmar, the establishment of the institution developed by the Justice Church for two thousand years can be described as complicated and bloated.
Under the archbishop, there are two great recitations, three cardinals, twelve cardinals, a metropolitan in charge of many specific aspects, and a chief bishop who is stationed in many important cities, and then it is the turn of Alfred. The diocesan patriarch, then the diocesan bishop, the priests who are directly in charge of the cathedrals, and then ordinary priests, and the lowest level is monks and nuns.
In addition to these levels, the Church has as many as nine Congregations dealing with internal affairs; Congregation of the Faith, Congregation of the Eastern Churches, Congregation for the Liturgy and Sacraments, Congregation for Canonization, Congregation for the Episcopal Congregation, Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, Congregation for the Holy Order, Congregation for Religious Orders and Ministry of Education.
three legal agencies,
They are the Religious Court, the Holy Pardon and the Inquisition, eleven religious committees, and six affairs agencies. In addition to these, there are three secretariats that are responsible for assisting the priest in handling affairs.
The difference between Alfred's diocesan patriarch and the diocesan bishop is that the former is a military and political leader, while the latter is only in charge of church affairs and does not hold military power.
Seeing that Alfred did not express his favor to him, the great reciter secretly scolded that the Nord country bumpkin is really short-sighted, but Ah Fu's backstage is too hard, the great reciter has nothing to do with him, so he can only politely turn around and leave.
After the briefing, Alfred soon met Archbishop Vicmar as he wished, and the high priest was sitting behind a simple and somewhat decayed oak table in the relic hall of the Justice Cathedral.
"You're late." Vic immediately criticized Alfred for being a little late, but from the tone of the high priest, Alfred could hear that he was not angry, the Patriarch of West Britannia With great respect, he stopped and bowed 20 steps away from Vikma, but the high priest stretched out his hand to signal him to come over. The circle of golden sun ripples is as aggressive: "Looking at you like this, you must be in some trouble? My patriarch, can you save me from worrying? Hasn't it been a few years for you to learn to mature?" And stable?"
"That was many years ago, High Priest, now that I have a wife and children, I am here to answer your call this time for the glory and will of our Lord." Alfred held Vic The horse's cold stare, perhaps to mortals, the eyes of the great priest carry the power of coldness and judgment, but Alfred often gets along with Ryan, and occasionally comes into contact with Morgiana and even the fairy of the lake. He is used to it: "But on my way here this time, I encountered an unexpected situation. Can you give me a few minutes?"
"My time is very precious, my patriarch." Vikmar's face showed anger, and he reached out to grab a large number of scrolls on the table: "Very...precious!"
Alfred remained silent. The patriarch carefully observed the expression of Archbishop Vicmar. He noticed that the high priest seemed... still not angry, so he kept silent and waited for the other party's lecture.
"So... let's talk, it'd better be something of value, or you'll get out of here!"
Alfred told Vikmar about Woten, and he relatively concealed some content, focusing on the powerful fighting power of the little blacksmith in the village of Wicked Laugh, and the twin-tailed comet birthmark on his chest.
"What?! A twin-tailed comet?!" Vikma stood up, and the archbishop's face showed an expression of extreme shock. He immediately got up and paced back and forth in the shrine: "Impossible, impossible! How could there be no oracle to issue an oracle if God Chosen appears or a true God descends into the world? Are you sure you read it right, or did you stay in a foreign country for too long, which led you to believe the strange words of the gods in that foreign lake?! "
"If there is no miracle or the reincarnation of the true god, it is impossible for an ordinary human being to have the power of the sanctuary at the age of seventeen or eighteen!" Alfred quickly stood up and said to the high priest: "Your Majesty, it is a twin-tailed comet, The pair of hammers are as dexterous as a pair of daggers in his hands. Every movement of his has golden flames, and those flames have two long trails. You must understand what those are? We all Remember the ancient prophecies, when Charlemagne left the empire to go to the other side of the roof of the world, when the savior took off the crown and announced his abdication after fifty years, there were oracles..."
"When the empire is in danger, they will turn into twin-tailed comets and come down to the mortal world again!" Archbishop Vicmar hurriedly replied: "But do you know what it means if this Voten is really the reincarnation of Charlemagne? It means that as the founders of the two empires, Woten is born with the right to claim the throne! This will cause Franz's nearly twenty years of hard work to be in vain, and the political situation of the empire will fall into turmoil. The foundation is already unstable. The empire that barely shows signs of centralization will quickly split in two! Those enemies of Franz, especially those big merchants, nobles, opponents, and fanatics will quickly gather around this Woten, and a civil war will ensue It is inevitable! Now the wind of magic is very unstable, another civil war? Charlemagne will not forgive all this!"
"I know exactly what will happen." Alfred said in a low voice: "I have already told Wo Ten to keep a low profile. There will be a very powerful champion warrior in Smile Village, but there is no one-man army God of War .”
"You blocked the news?" Vekmar suddenly turned his head.
"Watten voluntarily blocked the news." Alfred was puzzled by this: "He said that, and he said that the time was not enough."
"This, this doesn't look like the level a blacksmith's son should have." The high priest's face became more and more ugly.
The empire is undoubtedly the most advanced in the old world in terms of civilian promotion and education (even if Ryan vigorously reforms, it is impossible to catch up in a short time), especially in the culturally civilized south of the empire, it is not particularly difficult for yeoman to get basic education , They can send their children to study in towns or churches to learn basic knowledge. Of course, they can also let their children join the army. If they make military achievements and be promoted to become small officers, they will also have the opportunity to receive education.
Among them, the indispensable craftsmen among the common people, such as the sons of blacksmith families like Woten, can be easily educated, and even the children of some outstanding blacksmiths can directly become knights.
However, even so, the High Priest deeply understands that Woten has no reason to have such political acumen and wisdom!
Could he really be the reincarnation of Charlemagne?
But... If it is really reincarnation, why are there no signs and oracles? !
"Don't let outsiders know about this." After thinking for a while, the high priest looked very serious: "Aside from you, who else knows that he has a twin-tailed comet birthmark on his chest?"
"People from the whole village, people from several nearby villages, and many people who came here because of the name."
"...Very good." The words of the great priest made people confused: "If necessary."
……… I have the necessary dividing line………
Of course, the information about the large-scale military operations of the Justice Church on the side of the Empire cannot be concealed from Ryan, but Ryan currently has no reason to interfere or participate without invitation or permission. In addition to continuing to order to pay close attention to this matter, There is no other way to do this.
Of course, Ryan was not idle here. Not long after Alfred left, he personally brought Suria to Musillon to inspect the Musillon Industrial Zone.
After years of hard work, Musillon has become a semi-industrialized area with relatively complete industrial categories, especially in Musillon City, where many factories are in full swing. In addition to war machines, many civilian factories are also Production of daily necessities begins.
When Ryan’s private visit arrived, Beria, the chief political commissar of the 1st Guards Lancer Corps, happened to be inspecting the factory area, and he brought his little maid Khorkina. After seeing Ryan, Beria was surprised at first, and then It is ecstasy.
He has nothing to do to inspect the factory all day long. Isn't one of the very important reasons for him to let Ryan see that he is doing things seriously?
Happiness knocks on the door! Beria quickly seized the opportunity to introduce the current situation of the Musillon military factory to the King of Knights.
However, Ryan knew the situation of the military factory very well, and the King of Knights just smiled and listened to Beria's introduction, and at the same time silently compared the difference between the situation in Beria's mouth and the real situation he knew.
After Beria's introduction, Ryan was noncommittal, but said to Beria: "I heard that there is a famous food street in the factory area, Mr. Beria, can you take me there to have a look and have dinner by the way?" ?”
"Of course, Your Majesty." Beria moved his eyes and bowed respectfully.
In the first half of this Ugol man's life, he has never encountered such an unpredictable and unpredictable monarch of Ryan. It seems that no matter how friendly Beria is, how flattering, how tempting, the Knight King's thoughts It was hard to figure out, on the one hand he always let Beria try, on the other hand he was firmly controlled by the collar and chain.
The food street in the Musillon factory area was established under the leadership of Beria. In essence, it standardized and moved those wine houses, roadside stalls, small vendors and small shops that especially like to open at the factory gate to earn workers’ money, and moved them together. Beria provided them with a certain financial subsidy, so that workers could go to the food street to spend a few copper coins to drink a glass of beer after work, and then go home comfortably after bragging and farting with two side dishes.
There are everything in the food street, such as seafood barbecue, noodle porridge, bread with bacon set, hamburger pizza, hot pot and fried food, desserts and drinks, it is still very complete, and the price is cheap, and the quality is guaranteed. Thanks to the workers It seemed a bit deserted here before work was over. Ryan took Suria's little hand and ordered two glasses of coconut juice at a shop, and smiled at his wife: "It's a pity that Morgiana didn't come."
"Mogiana doesn't like the environment of the factory." Suria held a big coconut in her hand, and the female knight tasted it with Ryan's family with great interest: "Belia, well done, how do you have such a coconut?" thought?"
"I think workers, especially those researchers, work very hard and should enjoy some benefits, not only to eat enough, but also to eat well." With Suria's approval, Beria was ecstatic again, and he directly kneeled Kneeling down, he said seriously: "Your Majesty said that we must provide workers with enthusiasm and happiness through many methods. On the one hand, we must establish an assessment and evaluation system, and on the other hand, we must provide appropriate benefits. We must encourage competition, but we cannot completely Let it go."
"Hehehe, you still have a lot of ideas!" Ryan smiled and nodded again and again: "I really don't know how to evaluate you, Beria, you are from Ugol horse archers, but compared to soldiers, you are more Like a bureaucrat, I turned you into a military civilian, but you like to go to the factory all day long."
"I am a brick of His Majesty, and I can move it wherever it is needed!" Beria flattered me.
"Okay, get up." Ryan held a box of fried chicken nuggets in his hand, and the surface of the golden chicken nuggets was covered with salad juice. If you really want to do it, I dare not make him responsible for such a thing as Talleyrand."
Beria didn't dare to answer this sentence. If he answered, he would offend Talleyrand, a big celebrity, but if he didn't answer, he would offend Ryan. The Ugor man immediately changed the subject: "Your Majesty suddenly appeared, but there is important business to deal with? Need me?" Arrange for Engineer Sheogh and Engineer Dugan-Iron Man to come out?"
"Not for the time being." Ryan shook his head: "I came to Musillon this time to welcome a good brother. Since I met you, you can also meet him at the pier with me at night!"
"Yes!" Beria was still puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Don't be so nervous, Beria, to you, he is an old acquaintance!" Su Liya saw Beria's doubts, and the queen said with a light smile: "I promise you will not feel strange at all. "
Not unfamiliar at all? Beria was thinking about it.
However, in the evening, Knight King Ryan personally led the Old Guard Army and many Musilon nobles, including Beria's Ugol Army, and after several rumbling dwarf warships arrived at the Musillon pier, Beria Only then did I realize that this distinguished guest was indeed no stranger.
The cabin door was wide open, with the Hammer of Angrond hanging on his waist, the shield of resistance on his back, and wearing the full-body ancestor master-level rune meteorite armor, he led a large group of Bafeng mountain warriors who Angrond swore to defend personally. King, Bellegar-Iron Hammer happily slid down the gangway, and stretched out his hands towards the Knight King and his wife from afar: "Oh! Brother Ryan! Mrs. Su Liya, last time I left, you are all safe! , hahahaha~ I, Bellegar-Iron Hammer, is back again!"
"Welcome to Belegar, the true King of Eight Peaks Mountain-Iron Hammer!" A grand welcome ceremony was held on the pier.
After many years, Belega, the king of Eight Peaks Mountain, officially launched a several-month state visit to the Kingdom of Knights!
While at Bellegar, Ryan heard a rather special news.
"What? The high elves of Ulthuan plan to initiate a second round of peace talks with the High King of Eternal Peak? They also plan to send the next Eternal Queen, Alisara, as a diplomatic envoy?"
"The Eternal Queen Alarielle is willing to do so?"
