Chapter 839 Infernal Affairs
"Now we won't be short of food for many years..." Hearing Li Huailin's report, Anthony here is also a little dumbfounded. The 120 million tons of food is really beyond his expectation, but there is no such thing as any compensation. It's also cool enough.
But in fact, the harvest on the human side is also very rich, mainly due to the addition of dwarf craftsmen. The value that these super cheap skilled workers can create for human beings is very terrifying, and this effect will naturally be reflected over time, although I didn't get a lot of money at one time, but the actual effect is also very good.
"Where is the Sahamelah area?" Anthony looked at the report and asked again. Like the undead, the humans also asked the dwarves for a piece of land, but Anthony didn't know where this area called Sahamelah was. .
"Your Majesty, Sahamelah is an area in the northwest of the dwarves. It borders us humans. It is famous for producing blue-green crystal mines and anthropogenic rocks. It is a very good rare ore producing area." The more knowledgeable prime minister Mahe replied immediately.
"Yeah, there are a lot of dwarf slaves, send them all over there to mine, isn't it that dwarf mining is also very good." Li Huailin said with a smile, of course, he didn't know this place at all before, It was also Su Ruoyan who helped him read it.
"Your Majesty, blue-green crystal ore is a material for alchemy, and erythrolite is a material required for forging some special items, and they are very important resources." Maher explained again.
"Oh, that's right." Anthony nodded. "Wylin, I'm sorry for you this time."
"It's okay, it's okay." Of course Li Huailin is okay, and he has made a lot of money. Su Ruoyan over there is already counting how much money he has earned. Counting the robbery and the contract, it is estimated to be no less than 30 million gold coins.
"Remember this credit first. When the war against the demons is over, we will reward them together." Anthony said here.
"Your Highness, the people from the church are here." Just as he was speaking, the Knight Commander Ternate walked over. whispered in Anthony's ear.
Anthony here immediately frowned, it's not a good thing for people from the Illuminati Church to appear now. The target of the other party is estimated to be the Archbishop Degusby who is still in the prison. After all, the cardinals of the Church of Light have been arrested, and it is impossible for the other party to let him be locked up here, but the Church of Light's help for the rebels It also made Anthony very angry. Now that the other party wants to take him away like this, Anthony is naturally uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked, looking at the change in Anthony's expression.
"People from the Guangming Church are here to ask for someone." Anthony naturally wouldn't hide it from Li Huailin, and said immediately.
"That Degusby?" Li Huailin nodded, which was expected, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.
"Damn it, if it wasn't for the people of the Guangming Church, I would have cut him down a long time ago." Anthony said, "Now the people of the Guangming Church are clearly against me, but I can't move them. After all, the Guangming Church is now in our country His influence is still very large, and his prestige among the people is also very high, it is really troublesome."
"It's really annoying." Li Huailin also said. I have been disgusted by the people of the Bright Church several times, but there is really no good way.
"Although other theological religions are also starting to spread in the country, after all, there is too little time. The Church of Light will still be the largest church in our country in a short time, but they obviously don't like me, the new ruler. It is very detrimental to my rule." Anthony said annoyed. "Wylin, is there any good way to quickly disintegrate the power of the Church of Light?"
"Hey... Religion is the most difficult thing to do." Li Huailin said.
"After all, belief or something is really troublesome."
"Your Majesty, things in this area must be done step by step." Maher next to him also said, "After all, the church is so powerful, and if you want to get them out, you can't do it in more than ten years. This is a long-term battle. "
"I know, Prime Minister." Anthony here was just complaining, and he knew that it was not so easy to deal with, "Oh...it seems that I will bow my head again this time, really... If you are the Pope, Wyrin All right."
"Oh?" An inadvertent sentence from Anthony's side, Li Huailin's mind suddenly flashed: "Wait, Anthony, what did you just say?"
"Huh? I said that you are the Pope?" Anthony also asked a little strangely.
"That's it!" Li Huailin shouted suddenly, startling Anthony here.
"What's wrong? I was just joking," Anthony said.
"No, I figured out a way. Since the outside cannot be breached, let's start from the inside and send spies in." Li Huailin said.
"Hey... Sending spies to the Church of Light? It's not that I haven't thought about it, but it's very difficult to be honest." Anthony said here, "The first one is that although it is easy to join the Church of Light, it is difficult to enter the Church of Light. The high level of the church is really difficult. The bishops in various regions are basically the Pope's confidantes, and the succession of bishops is also hereditary. The review of the Church of Light is also very strict, and it is difficult to get involved. Second It’s just that the demagogic power of the Church of Light is too great, and some spies themselves are influenced by the God of Light, and they really become their believers, which is very difficult to do.”
"It's okay, it's okay, I know someone who is trusted by the Pope, and he will never believe in their religion." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Huh?" Anthony asked strangely, "Who?"
"Ahem, it's me." Li Huailin raised his head and said.
"Huh?" Anthony was taken aback, "Uh...Wylin, everyone knows that you are on my side. The church has a semi-open hostile relationship with us now. How can we trust you?"
"It's okay, I have a solution, anyway, it's very empty recently, I'll sneak in and have a look first." Li Huailin said.
"Are you serious?" Anthony said a little worried. Of course, the main concern is that the church detained Li Huailin.
"Of course it is serious." Li Huailin said, "Don't worry, don't worry, can the Church of Light still influence me? I really don't believe it."
"Uh... Forget it, since you want to try it, you can try it." Anthony here thought for a while and seemed to think that it was unlikely to succeed. If Li Huailin was really detained by the Guangming Church, he would bring Let the army go to ask people to forget, anyway, I have long seen that the Guangming Church is unhappy, so let's start the war if it really starts.
"Okay, no problem." Li Huailin said confidently, "If that's the case, let's call the people from the church up first, and I'll ask them to send a message to the Pope for me."
Soon, two people from the church were brought up. The Guangming Church also inherited the previous arrogant character. This time when they came to ask for someone, the other party actually photographed two ordinary priests. They looked very upset and carefree. He walked up to the palace hall.
"Lin Deen (Jonnie), priest of the Illuminati Church, has met His Highness Anthony." The two bowed slightly to Anthony, as if they didn't talk much to him.
This arrogant attitude made Anthony even more angry: "What are the two pastors here for?"
"I heard that our Cardinal Degusby was detained by His Highness for some reason, and I don't know if we can take him away." Lin Deen took a step forward and replied.
"I don't know the reason?" Anthony sneered, "Your archbishop helped the rebel army try to threaten our country's politics, and you don't know the reason?"
"This is absolutely slander." Lin Deen said immediately, with a look of righteous indignation, "How is this possible? Our church has never interfered in the internal affairs of the country, so this is absolutely impossible."
"Millions of people in the main city can testify, and you can also say that it was a misunderstanding?" Anthony said.
"It's impossible. Your Highness can ask casually. It's definitely not true." Lin Deen said confidently. Even if it is true, but as long as the church says something, don't commoners dare to say it?
Anthony also naturally saw the meaning of Lin Deen's words here, and once again sounded the alarm to the church. This is definitely a huge threat.
"Your Highness, our bishop just passed by accidentally, and was taken away by you because of this misunderstanding. Of course, we understand the situation at the time, and the Pope will not pursue this matter. We hope that our Degusby Let the bishop go." Lin Deen said again.
"Ask me?" Anthony here was just about to get angry, but Maher next to him saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to remind him. Anthony also realized that now is not the time, so he could only swallow his breath. At that time, he didn't want to talk nonsense with the two of them anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Let him go, go to the prison and get him."
"Thank you, Your Highness, Emperor of the Human Race." The two smiled, as if they had expected this for a long time.
"Wait two." Li Huailin suddenly stood up and said at this time.
"Oh? It's the Duke of Aquitaine." Seeing Li Huailin, the two people here suddenly put on a smiling expression. After all, Li Huailin still has a good impression in the church now, "May I ask what's the matter?"
"Well, you are going back to see the Pope now." Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, together with Bishop Gusby went to report to His Highness the Pope." Lin Deen replied here.
"Then help me ask the Pope, can I join the Church of Light?" Li Huailin said.
"What?" Lin Deen was taken aback, "Duke of Aquitaine, you mean you want to join the Church of Light?"
"Yeah, how is it?" Li Huailin asked.
"This is really great. Of course, I can't make the decision. I will immediately tell His Highness the Pope what you mean. Please wait for the good news." Lin Deen said.
