It has been more than three months since the selection of the mayor and other officials.

After the brand-new "City Management Regulations" began to be implemented in all the cities in the Designia Territory, the situation in all aspects has been significantly improved and developed.

Especially in the treatment of urban environmental sanitation, quite outstanding results have been achieved.

After all, no one wants to be fined two coppers for defecating.

In addition, water pattern paper is widely sold in the Thorn Chamber of Commerce into various places.

After this new type of paper was researched and manufactured by Xia Zuoyi and others, it was first handed over to the priests to compile the law, and then printed as the carrying paper for the compilation of two books, the textbook and the question bank.

And sell it in each city's Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, the sales of the new paper were not very good, and it was only spread in a small range. After all, there were parchment and papyrus before.

The most important thing is that due to the cultural backwardness, the usage rate of paper in the Western Continent is extremely low, and few people will buy it on purpose.

When water pattern paper was first sold, people almost mistook it for papyrus.

At most, they felt a little bit of surprise and surprise in the early days, and felt that the papyrus seemed to have changed.

Immediately, it was found that this paper was significantly different from parchment or papyrus.

No matter in terms of the texture of the friction between the fingertips, or the texture and thickness of the paper surface, it can be clearly distinguished from the other two papers.

The books made of new paper in the Thorn Chamber of Commerce will not be easily damaged when the pages are turned, and they don't need to be carefully cared for like papyrus.

People soon realized that the hardness of this paper was obviously superior to that of papyrus.

It didn't take long for the water pattern paper to use the Thorn Chamber of Commerce to carry out effective publicity strategies in various cities.

From the moment papermaking technology was researched, Xia Zuoyi began to prepare for the construction of papermaking workshops, such as recruiting workers and preparing a large number of raw materials.

Until the end of the examination to select the mayor and officials, the plan for the establishment of the paper workshop has been completed.

Before the production conditions of the workshop could supply and demand the entire territory, the amount of paper sold in the chamber of commerce was very limited.

After all, it is impossible for most commoners and slaves to spend money to buy some paper that is of no use to them.

Commoners and slaves were illiterate.

They didn't need papyrus before, and now they naturally don't need water textured paper, which is a little more expensive than papyrus.

Even if the quality of water pattern paper is better, the price is already very cheap compared to parchment paper.

…………

The examinations to select the mayor and other officials have come to an end.

Xia Zuoyi's previously prepared paper publicity plan was launched, and after some effective campaigning, the sales volume of water pattern paper gradually increased...

Moreover, Xia Zuoyi is also slowly implementing some plans.

In addition to residential areas, he intends to build public category buildings first.

For example, administrative-level government buildings and schools that serve people living in the territory, the transformation of the original subsidy station into nursing homes and orphanages, and different functions.

The territory of Designia is undergoing different changes and developments every day.

In the church of King Gainar City.

This is a wide hall where the statue of the Creator God stands. It should be a solemn and holy place, but at this moment it is full of chills and blood.

The surroundings of the church have been severely martial law by the knights, and in the hall there are two groups of people standing opposite each other.

On one side is the party led by Bruno Green.

The other group of people is the faction headed by the eldest son of the eldest prince, Wright Green.

The eldest son, Wright Green, is the most likely candidate to inherit the throne.

However, the succession to the throne has been delayed until now because of rumors that she loves men in the royal city of Gaina.

Today, the two sides confronted each other inside the church.

On the ground in the middle of the hall lay a male corpse wearing a servant's clothes. The blood was still slowly flowing down from his chest, gradually staining the ground and the man's cold and handsome face.

Wright tightened his jaw and pursed his lips tightly, and the turbulent emotions were forcibly suppressed in his heart.

He forced his eyes to move away from the corpse, and then he looked at the person sitting in front of the statue of the God of Creation with the waves in his eyes.

He looks young, with a handsome face and a pair of extremely beautiful and special golden eyes. He is slightly closed at this time, with his right hand resting casually on the back of the chair. ignore.

Ever since he entered the church, and when Wright had a quarrel with Bruno Green, he had been like this, with the same expression on his face, calm and composed, but he never said a word.

The bishop and priests of Gaina Church stood behind him in a very respectful manner, while on both sides stood tall and burly men who were all wrapped in black robes and had a chilling aura.

Wright couldn't help but clenched his palms tightly, unable to guess whether the situation in front of him was in his favor...

Because neither he nor Bruno Green had already guessed the identity of the young man—the Pope, Saigalot Wordsworth Oggsig.

A person who has been allowed to succeed to the throne by the previous pope since he was a boy.

During the reign of Saigalot, his mind and methods made everyone, including the powerful cardinal, bow their heads. Even if there were voices of opposition, they would be suppressed mercilessly as soon as they were raised. .

He is the darling favored by the God of Creation.

Seeing that the Pope hadn't shown any signs, the Bishop of Gaina turned to Wright behind him and said, "Prince Wright, you don't admit that you are in love with your servant, do you?"

Wright said with an ugly face: "My servant has already proved it with his death, isn't that obvious enough?"

"Everything is Bruno's trick. He framed me for the purpose of ascending the throne."

Bruno was not as handsome as Wright, and his face was thinner.

The expression on his face was indifferent, his eyes passed over the pope without a trace, and looked directly at the bishop: "The death of the servant is not necessarily to prove that there is no connection between him and Wright."

"It is also possible that they committed suicide in fear of crime, covering up the fact that the two of them violated common sense."

After Bruno finished speaking, he looked at Wright again, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "I remember that this lowly servant used to be by my brother's side all the time, with an intimate gesture."

"It's not like a servant, it's more like... But after the news that you like a man came out, he disappeared without a trace. Could it be that he was hidden by the elder brother?"

Bruno glanced at the dead body on the ground indifferently. He managed to find him with great difficulty, but now he is dead.

Wright sneered back: "I can't let a servant stay with the master forever."

"If he did something wrong, he will naturally be punished, and I will send him to another place. Why, is your magnanimity so kind that you allow low-level servants to behave rudely to you?"

Bruno couldn't help lowering his face.

He was sure that the man who had just become a corpse and Wright were a pair of close lovers.

Even if he is not a lover, Wright hangs out with the untouchables all day long, and behaves badly.

With this alone, it is impossible for Wright to compete with him.

Bruno calculated Wright, and once the news came out, Wright would never have a chance to ascend the throne.

But for some reason, things didn't go the way he wanted.

I don't know where the error occurred, so that the rumors have always been just rumors and have not become reality.

Bruno's assassination plan against Wright was also disrupted.

Wright only lost a few knights, but he was safe and sound.

after this.

Bruno clearly felt that Wright began to deal with him quietly, until they confronted each other in the church, and the most critical "evidence" died...

The bishop couldn't help looking at Bruno, his eyes flashed.

He said: "We have investigated Prince Wright before, and it has been proved by many sources that although Prince Wright has a close relationship with his servants, he is indeed a man with normal needs...not a person who violates common sense."

"Prince Bruno, the servant you brought is dead. The evidence you mentioned is not enough, so..."

Bishop Gainar couldn't help feeling bitter.

He had already been bought by Bruno Green before, and he needed to be on his side at critical times.

But what I didn't expect was that the Pope actually traveled to Gaina, and he was obviously interested in the two princes' competition for the throne.

What was even more unexpected was that Prince Wright arrived at the church in time with the news from nowhere. During the confrontation between the two sides, the servant committed suicide with a stolen weapon before everyone could react in time.

Now there is no conclusive evidence for both parties, and it is not easy for him to take sides in front of the Pope.

When Bruno heard this, his chest heaved and his eyes flickered.

He is not willing to end like this...

Saigalote happened to move his body slightly at this moment.

He opened his eyes, and his golden eyes glanced at Bruno carelessly. He didn't pause for a long time, but it made Bruno's heart beat faster, and he wanted to lower his head subconsciously.

He seemed to have been seen through by the Pope.

Obviously...just a young man much younger than him...

The bishop even tensed his body when Saigalot changed his position, and said, "Since Prince Wright is innocent, it is only normal for him to inherit the throne."

"Yes, the church will hold a coronation ceremony for Prince Wright three days later..."

The bishop bowed forward and whispered in Saigalot's ear: "Your Majesty, would you like to..."

Segalot: "I'm leaving Gaina tomorrow."

The bishop said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Bruno couldn't help but clenched his palms below.

The Pope came at an inappropriate time, and leaving made him even more angry... The Pope's arrival can be said to have helped Wright to a certain extent.

Even though Sejalot did not intervene in all matters of the Guena royal family on the surface.

But as long as he stays here as the pope, the bishop can't do anything to favor him, otherwise...

In the end, Bruno was extremely unwilling to take the people back to the territory.

Gellar Church.

Saigalot stood alone in front of the window of the room, with a small and delicate bird whistle twirling between his fingers, his brows and eyes were calm, as if he was thinking about something.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The man in black pushed the door open and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything has been prepared and you can leave early tomorrow morning. Do you want to go..."

Saigalot: "Go to Garda, no, it should be called the Designia territory now."

As he spoke, a smile could not help but fill his golden eyes, as if he remembered someone or something interesting.

The man in black was obviously puzzled: "But, Your Majesty, didn't you just leave from..."?

Why are you going to...

Saigalot turned around and said indifferently, "Have I been to the Designia territory?"

The man in black couldn't help but feel serious, and immediately lowered his head and said: "No, of course you didn't, Your Majesty, there is no doubt about your decision."

Saigalot: "Go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The man in black retreated silently again.

Saigalot raised the bird whistle to his eyes, and said in an imperceptible way: "...Go back and see you, little rose, you really didn't disappoint me."

Three days later, Gaina was succeeded by Prince Wright, and the news was sent back to the Designia territory.

Xia Zuoyi soon heard about it.

at the same time.

A document from the Holy Church of St. Airo Empire was handed over to Xia Zuoyi.

What is written on the document is that the Holy See hopes to re-establish the church and temple of the Creator God in Wissas.

It is said to be a hope, but it is actually a request that cannot be refused.

After all, the Holy See is so powerful, as long as they speak, it is impossible for any country, including territories, to directly refuse.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but think of the date when the church and shrine in Kaesli were destroyed...he thought about the time when the documents of the holy church were delivered...

Xia Zuoyi murmured: "Judit, did he guess from the very beginning that I would win...?"

This document should have been prepared since he left Kaes, and the time when the document was sent was almost the same as the time when the St. Airo Empire set off and arrived at the territory...
