Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 447 Evacuate them! (Thanks to Stupid Wolf Xiaodong for February, ticket)
"Of course." Sean smiled: "My lord, you should know, right? Now the Anjou navy is colluding with the Rhode Island pirates and is preparing to launch a war."

Hearing this, Bishop Jay understood the reason for Sean's visit. Sean should be asking for money and supplies!

However, Bishop Jay remained calm: "Of course we know about this matter. This matter has been rumored in the city, and everyone knows it."

Sean sat at the table with his hands folded under his chin:

"My lord, in order to cope with this war, the nobles and businessmen in the city are giving generously. Earl Powell and I received a donation of 20 gold coins at the dinner, which does not include several nearby lords.

May I ask, can the church make some contributions to the Principality? "

Sean looked directly at Bishop Jay with a half-smile.

"this."

Bishop Jay sorted out his thoughts, and replied with some embarrassment:
"Kapor Port is in trouble, and we are very happy to contribute. But you also know that the church's funds are not very abundant. The training of missionaries, priests, paladins, and the church's expenses are a huge expenditure, and even our It is necessary to form a mercenary group to earn some extra money in order to maintain the normal operation of the church.”

Bishop Jay began to cry poor.

"But as far as I know," Sean interrupted Bishop Jay: "The total amount of indulgences sold by the church has exceeded the tax revenue of Port Kapoor. The ascetic monks of the church like to live in poverty. How could the church not Where's the money?"

"You're right. The church sold a lot of indulgences, but the proceeds from these indulgences are dedicated to the God of Light. We didn't dare to take a single gold coin!"

Bishop Jay sighed, his expression full of sincerity.

"That is to say, is the church unwilling to contribute to this war?"

Sean slowly stood up from his seat, the armor creaked as it rubbed against each other, feeling full of oppression.

"Of course not." Bishop Jay replied immediately:

"We are willing to donate 1000 oh no, donate 2000 gold coins as military expenses, what do you think?"

Bishop Jay tentatively quoted a price of 2000 gold coins.

Of course he knew that Sean's appetite was far more than 2000 gold coins, and it might take 8000 or even [-] gold coins to satisfy Sean.

But he still quoted this price to prevent Sean Lion from opening his mouth (for example, directly saying 2 gold coins), and it will be difficult to lower the price by then.

But what Bishop Jay didn't expect was that Sean didn't raise the price, but stood still and said lightly:
"Maybe I was wrong. The church may really have no money, otherwise you wouldn't say a figure as low as 2000 gold coins. Well, let me ask God for instructions after I go back and see what He says."

After Sean finished speaking, he walked out of the prayer room and walked out, and Khadgar immediately followed Sean.

Seeing that Sean and Khadgar were about to leave, Bishop Jay got anxious and immediately stood up and said loudly, "Your Highness Sean, please don't leave! We can continue to discuss if you have any conditions!"

But Sean ignored Bishop Jay, let alone looked back, and strode towards the carriage he was riding in.

Bishop Jay panicked even more, and hurriedly increased his price to 8000 gold coins, and even sent a priest to serve in the army.

But Sean still ignored him, and drove away in the carriage, leaving Bishop Jay in a mess in the wind.

After watching Sean's carriage leave, Bishop Jay suddenly fell into a state of trance.

What is Sean doing?
The vice-bishop Hannathan beside him also asked with a puzzled expression: "My lord, what is His Royal Highness Sean going to do? Why doesn't he give us a chance to raise the price? Could it be that he is angry?"

"I don't know either. Could it be that he wants to tell the gods about this and punish me with divine punishment?"

Bishop Jay looked confused: "Probably not! I am a devout believer in the gods, and the gods should not punish me for such a trivial matter, right?"

"I don't think so either." Vice-Bishop Hannason shrugged: "And to be honest, I don't think His Highness Xiao En can really communicate with God at will, and God certainly won't endlessly favor him. Otherwise, the war plan of the Kingdom of Anjou would have been cancelled."

"What you said makes sense." Bishop Jay nodded. "In short, let's step up our guard these few days! Be prepared!"

"Okay, my lord bishop." The priests around Bishop Jay replied one after another.

At the same time, the carriage Sean was riding in was also on his way back to his residence.

"How is it? Have you figured out the structure of the Church of the Holy Light?" Sean asked Khadgar.

"I've figured it out, my lord." Khadgar smiled and said, "Taking advantage of the 10 minutes you exchanged the teachings, I scanned the church as a whole, where is the warehouse, where is the storage box, and which wall has a hidden compartment behind it. , it's all clear."

"Great! We will start moving tonight!" Xiao En said with a satisfied smile.

In fact, Sean had no intention of negotiating with Bishop Jay on the issue of donating gold coins and materials. It's not that the materials are not good, but Sean's goal from the beginning was to remove the church's inventory.

After all, the church has existed for so many years, and the "ill-gotten gains" it has gained are worth tens of millions?Donating [-] to [-] gold coins is just a drop in the bucket, and they must be bloodletted.

So in the first 10 minutes, Sean deliberately discussed the doctrine with Bishop Jay, just to buy time for Khadgar.

After Khadgar finished scanning the entire church, Sean naturally had nothing to chat with Bishop Jay, and directly found an excuse to return to his residence in a carriage.

On the way back to the residence, Sean also asked Khadgar: "Khadgar, do you need my cooperation for tonight's action?"

"No." Khadgar smiled and said, "I can do it alone. But my lord, there may be only a small amount of wealth in the church warehouse. I think it is necessary for us to go to the private residence of Bishop Jay and several vice-bishops. There, we might have more to gain."

"You're right. I overlooked this point. The Church of the Holy Light is different from pirates." Sean nodded, "I'll ask Powell to send over the address of the church's top management this afternoon. You should be ready. .”

"Yes, my lord," Khadgar replied.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Khadgar's avatar raven landed on a short tree in the courtyard of the Cathedral of the Holy Light.

Seeing the crowd of people in the church and the scene of strict security, "Raven" showed a very anthropomorphic expression of disdain.

Then the raven flew up and slowly disappeared into the air. It was Khadgar's [Enhanced Invisibility Technique].

Khadgar is now a gold rank powerhouse, most of the priests of the Holy Light Cathedral only have bronze and silver ranks, and they can't see through his invisibility at all.

So Khadgar swaggered in from the main entrance, and searched for possible treasure locations point by point according to his memory this afternoon.
