I have a shelter

Chapter 269 [Please be more self-aware] (6K)

Who was the most powerful in the entire North?

Grand Duke Yongfeng and His Majesty Phillips can be counted as one of them, but they both have chains on their bodies. And their identity, in this political whirlpool, is not as stable as it seems.

Any king, if he has not received the heavenly authorization from the Seven Gods of the Holy Court, will feel extremely uneasy when he sits on the throne.

Of course, the Pope did not come here to baptize His Majesty Philips himself, but the Archbishop here baptized him on behalf of the Pope.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, in the eyes of the entire Southern Kingdom, the person who has truly established his position is the supreme archbishop.

No matter who the future king of Rodunk is, he will eventually sit at the top of the pyramid with him!

What's more, the current black tide has made the establishment of the fourth cathedral almost a foregone conclusion.

This archbishop will inevitably become one of the core members of the Cardinal Order. He will support Vic White to become the next pope. This is also the victory won by the reformists in this black tide!

In this world, the Order of Cardinals is equivalent to the 'cabinet' of the Holy Court. If they unite, the Pope will be turned into a rubber stamp.

Although the cardinals of the Cardinal Order require the Pope to go through the final appointment procedures, the Pope is also elected by the Cardinal Order.

So, among these seven countries. The archbishop is equivalent to the official who is sent to the frontier. The king is the little king under the care of this official. If this king devotes himself to an evil god, the strength of the cathedral and even the temple will be very terrifying.

Of course, among the Seven Kingdoms, both the kingdoms and the lords are loyal believers of the God of Sanctuary. There is only one true emperor in this world, and that is the Pope.

Therefore, the status of the archbishop, and even the cardinals in the ‘cabinet’, in various countries is obvious.

And the big boss here, no matter his status, authority, or military strength. I'm afraid there is no need to be inferior to the Grand Duke and His Majesty - even the thorn bird, which has become more and more independent, has to find a way around it if it wants to disobey his orders.

Unless the Thorn Birds don’t plan to develop in the future and don’t plan to ask for any more supplies such as rune words, torches, holy water, etc.

As for all the priests and priests, naturally they only listened to him.

So in this heavy fog, if the lords want to go out and get back easily - even His Majesty Phillips on the front line must have a smile from this big boss.

Therefore, when a priest entered the lounge and respectfully invited George Bolton to talk to the Archbishop, the eyes of all the lords could not help but glazed over - no one could have imagined this scene. , after all, the people above are a bit too special.

But George was not surprised.

It's just that he never thought that the old man who brought him into the temple would take him into it again today.

Judging from the fiery and flattering attitude of the priest, George knew that he might have guessed right.

But in front of the meditation room, when he saw Wallace, who was glowing with red face and looking extremely excited, he was slightly surprised - but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it seemed extremely reasonable.

The high priest secretly said: "Lord George, the God of Sanctuary arranged for us to meet. I'm afraid it's fate. From now on, in the valley, we have to support each other!"

George smiled and nodded, knowing that this was probably the new Bishop of the Valley who would take over his position as bishop.

Bishops were not allowed to have noble titles - they had to put aside their worldly status. Take up that transcendental right.

If you want to become a Grand Duke, you must let go of the title of Bishop.

‘In Wallace’s eyes, I paved the way for you. Haha, don't worry, I will train you well and then put you in this position. ’

Wallace opened the door for George, and the two of them walked into this antique meditation room, which was like a study.

When he saw the 'Avery Krendel' who looked a little older, George felt like he was in another world.

I remember that under the leadership of my father, I had met this adult once. George was fourteen years old at the time, and the man who had tied his father's hands was still the Archdeacon.

Come to think of it, after this fog, this powerful logistics director has been promoted to the deacon bishop of St. Wilmick's Cathedral - for the Holy See, if the Seven Kingdoms are the seven provinces of the Holy Court, then this position There is no difference from a senior official.

In the Kingdom of Elda, he can be said to be under one person. After coming out of the church, he was assigned to be the archbishop of Rodunk, which was actually an ordinary job. But if a fourth cathedral is to be built here, then this boss has finally come forward.

'Avery Krendel' took his hand away from the demon's head. He slowly raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.

In his satisfied look, George felt a little weird. What this look seems to express is - I know you, young man.

But what is revealed now is not that face at all

"When Archpriest Ulric asked me to apply for several priests to go to the valley (it seems that he had been promoted to deacon bishop at that time), I recommended you. It seems that I was not wrong about the person. It has been ten years now, you Is your father still safe?"

George had heard from Wallace before that after the fog came, many priests and pastors came out of the church to preside over parishes in various places, clean up the local plague, and lead the local parishioners through the crisis.

It was the end of the Blood Moon, the chaos in the temple had just subsided, and the outside world was extremely chaotic. Very few of the pastors who were sent out survived the journey. If a young priest can persist in the valley and achieve such results, then Avery is indeed right.

‘But, ten years? ? '

Could it be that I have really been out for ten years? !

‘No, no, no, no, I’m afraid the ten years I mentioned here cannot be true, because this B, I can’t even recognize what my face looks like.’

besides

‘Who the hell is High Priest Ulric? ! ’

George looked sad, with some tears welling up in his eyes: "High Priest Ulric, all the priests, and my father and the others"

"Sit down, kid." Avery stretched out his hand in relief.

George sat in his seat uneasily - indeed he felt a little guilty. Also added some acting skills.

But from Avery's point of view, he became more and more satisfied - Fernando said he was a bit frivolous? How can young people not be frivolous? He is frivolous in front of you just because he is from our church! Seeing a real big leader, this kid is still very sensible.

After a few words of relief, George's expression gradually relaxed, and Avery also spoke out.

"George, Ulric himself went to the local area to serve as the bishop, and the accompanying priest also has the responsibility to help the valley survive the crisis. You can accept his work and make such achievements. It is natural that you should "Deserving of the title of Bishop"

Wallace, who was listening in the audience, thought of the piety and determination of those priests, and couldn't help but nodded deeply - anyone who dared to go out during that period was a person who didn't want his life. And he admired this person in his heart for being able to achieve this level.

Of course, this idea is mainly due to his mentality. Like Avery, he now likes George no matter how he looks at him.

When George on the side heard this, he understood in his heart - this was a vindication of his identity.

Indeed, as Fernando said, no one would be willing to accept this powerful army that suddenly threw itself into his arms. What's more, Avery discovered that the leader was someone from his own sect, so he naturally bore the mark of St. Wilmick's Cathedral. And I don’t know if it was influenced by the pastors who wandered to the valley from the west. The pastors in the valley are extremely close to the reformists.

He had no reason not to pick this ripe and attractive fruit - so the future Bishop Wallace took advantage of this huge advantage.

For the Archbishop, the whole thing was just a nod to clear up the relationship with the Cardinal Order, and their entire faction gained a clean diocese, achievements and surging new blood. (those priests).

"I will report your deeds to the Cardinal Order. But, George, where did your family come from?" Bishop Avery smiled meaningfully: "Please forgive the memory of an old man. , you have to tell it in detail - during that chaotic period, many files in the church were lost. Since you have returned to the embrace of the church, the files about you need to be sorted out in detail. "

If you say black, it will be black; if you say white, it will be white. Not to mention this chaotic period, that many years ago, when a wealthy noble wanted to arrange a beautiful resume for his heir, how many times did the priests do it?

And of those aristocratic heirs with impressive resumes who were arranged to come here, how many of them actually checked in at the temple?

Hearing this, George finally understood. As long as Avery sends a file of priest or priest George Bolton and the deeds in the valley to the Cardinal Order (the official church under the bishop can be independently operated), then this man who took over the leadership of the Valley Church ten years ago will The young man who assumed the duties of Bishop Errick was completely settled.

'It seems that the heir to the Earl of Black Pearl is the deposit given by Fernando.' George thought secretly: 'It's really fun. The Duke and the Bishop have spent nothing so far, but they have made money from me. Got a benefit. But I had to be helped onto the warship by them. ’

"My lord, Miss Elizabeth conferred the title of 'Baron Johannes' to me. Before that, George Bolton was just a knight beside her."

Hearing this, Avery suddenly said: "Oh, indeed. I remembered that more than ten years ago, a group of young people from the Bolton family were sent to St. Wilmick's Cathedral for training. This is I was in charge of it at that time. The devout Brother George Bolton entered the 'choir class' because of his piety and excellence." At this point, Avery turned his head and looked at Wallace: "And later. Have you been singing for a while?”

"That's right, sir." Wallace nodded and said, "It will be the fifth period after me."

Avery nodded and said: "Many cantors are not recorded in the record, but such a glorious deed as George Bolton needs to be written down on the resume."

Seeing these two guys singing the double act in front of him, George was stunned - it turned out that it was the old boy Wallace who said he had been the lead singer, and this was how he arranged it!

‘How many pastors who have actually been cantors have been hacked by you like this! Without a backstage, it’s really hard to get along! ’

Avery continued, "After that, George Bolton was promoted to pastor, head pastor of the 'Bulman' parish, and 'sacrificial priest' of St. Wilmick Cathedral. After the blood moon, Ulrich went to Black Pearl Valley to take over as archbishop, and Priest George was a member of the entourage. He was later appointed as the archpriest of the Rose Cathedral by the regional bishop. In that disaster, Priest George stepped forward at the critical moment and took over the work that Archbishop Ulrich failed to complete. His position as a bishop is to obtain the appointment of the Cardinals and the Pope, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done, and no one will hold it accountable."

George frowned slightly - no one will hold it accountable?

‘It seems that these old guys are still worried about me, and they have to hold on to this little braid.

“George, the Holy See will recognize your deeds. The orders issued by Archbishop George in these years, the priests, priests, and cathedral knights appointed, will also have the power and effect of the bishop.” Avery’s eyes were meaningful: “But this bishop position can only be a history - because you will not only inherit the family title and fiefdom, but Grand Duke Yongfeng will also confer you the Earl of Delong County. So you have to step down now, and Wallace will lead the Archbishop of the Valley Diocese. After the reply from the Cardinals returns, all these procedures will be completed.”

Hearing this, George’s eyes twitched slightly.

To be honest, George had guessed everything Avery said before. But he didn’t expect this guy to be so cruel - it was simply cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot!

But he couldn’t express this dissatisfaction because Avery had already eaten him.

‘An identity, an Earl of Delong County is a deposit, and you sent me away? Fernando, you are a little too full of yourself. Aren't you afraid that I will be dissatisfied with you? And, old man, I am your blood relative after all! Although your ancestor was an illegitimate child, Austin never treated him badly, otherwise there would be no chance to enter the temple! '

Avery suddenly changed the subject: "This document will also include a resume of a 'God's Grace Knight'-it was Lord Vic White who extradited you, and he is your 'extraditor'."

Wallace suddenly opened his mouth and looked at George beside him.

I found that after a slight shock and dizziness, this kid actually widened his eyes and showed a look of "as expected"!

At this moment, Wallace's mind buzzed and lost all thinking ability.

-God's Grace Knight, this is a very special temple knight, whose status is far above the temple knight!

Because every God's Grace Knight is a saint and a son of God!

'I am really the chief angel of the God of Shelter? ! And then descended into this world? ’

[Please have some self-awareness]

Avery looked at the young man in front of him and stroked the demon head at hand. The look in his eyes was meaningful.

This look made George's brain flash with lightning, revealing a look of sudden realization - stealing and replacing the pillars.

Looking at this quick-witted boy, Avery nodded secretly: 'No wonder he can take over Ulric's work with the identity of a priest and do such a big thing in the valley. This kid is far superior to Ulric in both courage and thinking. No less than the first ‘Krendel’ of that year’

After a little thought, Avery slowly opened his mouth:

“George, your batch of Divine Grace Knights is not recorded - but it is suitable to be made public now, so I will baptize you in the ‘Blue Water Cathedral’ and strip you of your outer clothes - after that, you can stay in the ‘Cathedral’ or stay in the territory. But don’t forget, this is your home.”

Even if the Light of Dawn does not need to make a note, George’s mind is completely clear at this moment.

In the history of the Holy Court, heroes who beheaded the great demons were eventually given the title of saints. In addition to the valley demons that Tanya mentioned, this title is ironclad.

It’s just that the saint may not be qualified to become a ‘Divine Grace Knight’

After all, the rights and status of this knight are too special

However, the daring Avery is stealing and replacing the pillars - not only that, he also made a decision for Vic White without reporting it first.

With these achievements, it is inevitable for the Son of God to become a Divine Grace Knight.

Whether this person in the valley is the Son of God or a saint, there is another very important statement - did he go to the valley with the title of the Son of God, or did he become a saint after he came out.

Now, Avery has given him this title, so all the merits of the valley and the "Holy Black Lake Knights" cultivated by the Son of God have been taken by Vic White's faction!

This army not only proves Vic White's foresight, but will also help the Blue Water Cathedral become a cathedral - the things Avery sent out will finalize this cathedral!

'You are so fucking good at playing! Is this killing several birds with one stone? And it's fucking getting something for nothing! '

From now on, with this George Bolton, the entire valley's army will become a force for "Avery" and "Vic White" in the secular world!

And George will also have a "holy" word at the beginning of his name, just like the first generation Earl of Thorns!

Or add an ‘S’ in the middle of your name to pass on this glory to your family!

Deposit?

This is definitely worthy of a deposit for any noble! Even the deposit is not enough.

'However, the so-called deposit should have been given by Fernando. He would never have guessed what the old fox 'Avery' was thinking in advance, right?'

This is a direct benefit to Avery!

What does it mean when something you brag about comes true overnight? !

That's it!

For George, the meaning of this name is really too great - the arrangement of his resume is perfect - to be George Bolton. What was done in the valley is reported back to the Holy Court, and what the demons see will be just a force quietly deployed by Vic White!

This can be completely matched with the news revealed by everyone in this industry!

The light of dawn has an extra layer of fog covering it.

The devil no longer has any doubts about the inheritance of the valley.

[The light of dawn also thinks it is very meaningful]

George's heart moved slightly: 'I have boasted about my awesomeness, but Dawn of Light listens to it every day. Could it be that the light of dawn can secretly exert some influence on the believers of the Seven Gods? ’

After thinking for only a moment, Avery's eyes fell on him again - he had never looked so kindly.

Pushing yourself up like this is not only about benefits, but also because of this relationship, which can make future cooperation more reliable?

To an outsider, this 'Knight of Divine Grace' probably only remembers a lot of Vic White and a lot less of Avery.

But now, it's completely different.

George stopped his racing thoughts. He knelt down directly and kissed the corner of the clothes of this descendant who could not be said to be his grandfather, elder brother or younger brother - maybe he was George's nephew in terms of seniority.

"My dear grandfather, it is my duty to protect the church, so naturally I should stay here permanently. But I came here just to take a look at you." George raised his head, tears streaming down his face: " You are my only relative in this world."

As he spoke, George wiped the corner of his clothes on his face, and there were tears and snot on it. He looked choked with sobs, like a spoiled grandson.

Whether he is a grandfather or a distant nephew, it can indeed be said that there is a relationship, but it is not suitable to say this in front of Wallace.

But at this moment, Avery didn't care about anything, but became more and more satisfied - sensible.

At the same time, he looked at this extremely well-behaved and extremely well-behaved child. A wave of excitement inevitably arose in his heart - indeed, this child may only have blood relatives from the 'Krendel' family in this world.

"George, I'm not wrong. You are the most sensible and good boy in the Austin family." Avery nodded deeply. He stroked George's head and looked at the door: "I believe what will happen next." , I don’t need to say more. Let’s go, I believe Duke Adeline is already waiting for the heroes who have returned from slaying the demons.”
