scepter

The joining of Priest Darwin obviously lowered the level of the entire team. Even Bart, Avery and others saw Yannick's excitement, but they couldn't make Priest Yannick happy.

In the eyes of others: from a low-ranking priest to a bishop, he achieved a qualitative leap in one fell swoop, and he was also received by the Pope and Archbishop Vishelich alone, with great favor and a bright future.

The self in Yannick's eyes: The hard life needs no explanation.

Archbishop Lahe also returned to the Jiade Imperial Capital with them. He needs to hand over some of the original daily affairs to Yannick before officially taking up his post.

As a bishop of a country, in the non-war outbreak stage, in fact, there is very little daily work. Take Archbishop Lahe as an example. During his tenure as a bishop, he basically dealt with official correspondence from all over the country every day. , Occasionally attend some banquet occasions at the invitation of nobles or royal families, and spend the rest of the time freely.

With such a simple work content, Yannick only took a few hours to complete the handover.

The only surprise of becoming this bishop is that the church treasury of the Garter Empire is very rich. It can be seen from the last time that Bishop Lahe allocated him five thousand gold coins without blinking. At least around [-] gold coins.Although these were public funds, Yannick didn't feel guilty about squandering the public funds after he was given such a difficult task by his superiors. The [-] gold coins were just enough to provide the daily expenses of the entire team when they went out.

This is why the church in the Garter Empire can be so rich and powerful. In those smaller duchies, it is already very good to spend a few thousand gold coins.

Bishop Lahe said to him: "Although they are both bishops, as the bishop of the empire, their status is higher than that of the principality. As long as you have enough qualifications in your post, it will be much easier to advance to the next level."

Thinking of that cheating task, Yannick could only smile wryly: "I will try my best."

In addition to the bishop and the priests and paladins accompanying the bishop, the church of the Garter Empire also has some low-level priests who are responsible for some daily trivial work, as well as other ordinary civilians. They often serve as cooks, gardeners, and handymen in the church. roles like this.

Although Bishop Lahe took away his group of priests, the framework of the church was still there, and the low-level priests and servants were not dismissed. Before Yanick was not proficient, these people were enough to maintain the daily operation of the church.

But Yannick actually didn't have much time to familiarize himself with the business, and he needed to start preparing for the tour.

When bishops go on tour, they don’t just go wherever they want. Every country has its own churches and bishops. It is very rude to rashly go to other people’s territory.Therefore, Yannick needs to send an inquiry letter to that country first, and will not start planning the itinerary until he receives a reply letter expressing welcome for his visit.

From sending out the letter to the reply from the other party, although it is said that there is a teleportation magic circle, which is more convenient than the plane, but considering that the bishop of the other party cannot receive the letter immediately, or the business is busy, it may take a few days to reply. .

Yannick handed over this matter to Augustine, and asked Ai Fuli to start preparations for the visit. Alexander assisted him. As for the other new priests, he didn't know much about them, so he put them aside for now. Take your time to see the good and the bad.

As for Darwin, who heard that he would soon be able to travel at public expense, he was gearing up. It is rare for Darwin to burst out with extremely high enthusiasm for work...

"Priest Darwin, although there are convenient teleportation magic circles from the Imperial Capital of Garter to the countries we want to go to, I hope to better understand the current beliefs of the Holy See in various countries, so please help us formulate a travel plan The route, including the towns to pass along the way, and the hotels where you rest, etc., I believe this kind of thing should not trouble you, right?"

"Of course, of course!" Darwin's eyes lit up, and he immediately sensed an opportunity to fish in troubled waters from Yannick's words, for example, marking towns with more brothels and more food, avoiding those attacked by the undead army, A dangerous town that is about to fall. "I will do this well, don't worry, Your Excellency Hill!"

Yannick knew what the other party was thinking just by looking at his expression, and he didn't bother to care about it. Anyway, he was just looking for something for Darwin to do, and it was up to him to decide which way to go.

As a newly appointed bishop, he should visit the emperor of this country out of reason and reason. Since the two parties may have long-term cooperation opportunities in the future, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship. Yannick came out of the church and went directly to the palace. go.

Emperor Francis II had already received a call from Yannick, and he was also very curious about the new bishop. Since he took the throne, the bishops of the Garter Empire have changed three times.

The first appointment was really a bad memory, and Francis II didn't want to mention it anymore. The bishop put on a high air, made things difficult for Francis II, who had just ascended the throne, and even wanted to intervene in the Garter Empire This also allowed Francis II to plant the seeds of loathing the Holy See.

The second is Bishop Lahe. As a mature politician, Bishop Lahe will certainly not be as stupid as his predecessor. He has a good personal relationship with Francis II. This time Lahe was promoted to Cardinal Archbishop. Lance II even gave him a generous gift in the name of the royal family.

As for the third term, it is the Bishop Yanikhill in front of him.

As a bishop, to be honest, Francis II felt that he was too young, and youth would always lead to some bad habits, such as arrogance and pride. Keep it that way when Bishop He is around.

However, his doubts were quickly dispelled.

The new bishop chose a good entry point for the topic—Prince Felton.

Even if Chris is a disgrace to the royal family recognized by the empire, an illegitimate child who tarnishes the royal family's reputation, etc., even some members of the royal family think so.But in the heart of Francis II, this half-brother is one of his most important relatives. He tried his best to give him the best treatment within his ability, but even if he is the emperor, the higher-ups still With the constraints of the House of Elders, even if Chris was given a title, it had to be delayed for so many years before it was finally realized.

This made Francis II more and more guilty of this brother. No one knew how much Chris had done for the empire, even if he himself didn't care, but the emperor couldn't pretend not to know.

The silver-haired bishop told about his fate with Chris—the two met on a wonderful adventure journey, from a prisoner to a friend, Yannick removed many details and fabricated some details, but His Majesty listened with great interest, even His perception of the new bishop also improved.

"I don't know what the bishop's plan is next?" Francis II said, "Every new bishop will hold a grand banquet in the empire. I can introduce you to the dignitaries of the empire."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but I'm afraid I don't have time." The silver-haired bishop declined with a smile. "According to the order of His Majesty the Pope, I may soon set off to visit other countries, and I am making some preparations for this. I hope that when I return, I will be able to receive His Majesty's banquet."

Francis II laughed: "Of course, I will welcome the return of Your Excellency the Bishop with the most grand banquet!"

The emperor was quite satisfied with the new bishop. He was very knowledgeable and did not make any excessive demands rashly. It seemed that he had a good personal relationship with Chris. There must be a lot of room for cooperation in the future, so he decided to sell it too. This bishop is a favor.

"Your Excellency, I have a request that I hope you can agree to."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Francis II had a baby still in its infancy.

"His name is Tang En. He is my son and the first heir to the imperial throne. He was born just three months ago. I hope His Excellency the Bishop can become his godfather," said the emperor.

"Me?" The silver-haired bishop couldn't hide his surprise.

No wonder he was surprised. Since his accession to the throne, Francis II has been trying his best to eliminate the influence of the Holy See on his country, which is exactly what the Holy See hates and has nothing to do.

Basically, the emperors of all countries are doing this kind of thing now. The only difference is that some countries are rich and powerful, so they are not afraid of breaking up with the Holy See, and some countries are relatively weak, so they dare not do it too obviously. The old country, the Principality of Santos, is completely conservative in power and a staunch supporter of the Holy See. Generally, in this kind of country, the living space of the Magic Guild is relatively small.

When he left the Holy See before, the Pope and Archbishop Vatican took turns to give him orders, all he wanted was to use diplomatic means to increase the influence of the Holy See over other countries, and now Francis II offered to make Yannick his son Of course, the godfather is a good thing for the Holy See.

It's just that he didn't quite understand the purpose of Francis II's doing so.

But Frans II didn't explain too much about it, he just smiled and said, "I just hope Tang En can grow up healthily under the protection of the Goddess of Light."

Hells don't believe this explanation!

An emperor who wanted to get rid of the control of the Holy See took the initiative to ask a bishop to be the godfather of his son, and the son who was likely to inherit the throne in the future. The deep meaning in this is interesting.

Yannick smiled: "With all due respect, does Your Majesty want to use the Holy See as a shield to deal with the House of Elders?"

Francis II was exposed by him, so he didn't get angry, but blinked: "Ah! Bishop Lahe once told me that you are a smart person, and it is true."

The silver-haired bishop shrugged: "I'm not as smart as His Majesty, at least I can't refuse His Majesty's request."

Although Frans II had the intention of using him, this approach is also beneficial to Yannick. On the one hand, he has an heir to the throne as a godson, which can increase his authority in the Garter Empire. Record a meritorious service on the Holy See.

Francis II said with a smile: "It is really a pleasure to deal with you, then, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." The silver-haired bishop shook the outstretched hand of the emperor.

Before the emperor issued a decree declaring Yannick to be the godfather of the little prince, he could finally have a good rest for a few days. Yannick didn't want to live in the bishop's gorgeous but cold room, so he went back to his own home, anyway. Not far from the church, Ai Fuli and the others will naturally come to him if they have something to do.

As a result, as soon as he got home, Butler Adam came up to him and reported: "Master, these days when you were away, His Excellency Chris came to the door almost every day, and he wanted to stay here."

"You let him stay?" Yannick raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not. You can't doubt the integrity of a conscientious butler. I withstood the pressure and sternly refused." Butler Adam looked serious.

"Well done." Yannick patted him on the shoulder. "But I must pay him a visit now."

"You want it?" Butler Adam was a little puzzled.

Yannick said: "I'm going to take a long trip in a few days. You've seen my clothes. It may be difficult to come back in a few months. After all, Chris has traveled abroad for a long time. You need to ask him."

"Are you going on a long trip again? After you left last time, Miss Sophia didn't continue to live here. Only me and other servants are left here, deserted." Butler Adam was a little sad.

"There is no permanent banquet in the world. Only when the show is over can we meet again." Yannick patted him on the shoulder, "This house is my home, and you are my family. No matter how far we go, we Still have to come back."

"I will always be here, no matter when you come back." Butler Adam wiped the corner of his eyes.

Yannick told him a few more words, and then called a carriage to Chris' mansion.

In the past, during this short distance, he would rather take a few more steps than take a carriage, but now it is different. The low-level priestly robes he used to wear were not conspicuous in the imperial capital, and others looked at him more often. At best, it was only because of his appearance. Ever since he changed into the bishop's robe, Yannick had experienced what it means to have a [-]% return rate on the way home from the church.

The carriages in Olin Continent are somewhat similar to western-style carriages. The carriages are also inlaid with highly transparent glass, which makes it easier for people in the carriages to look out. The decorative velvet curtains were drawn.

When approaching Prince Felton's mansion, the carriage stopped suddenly. Yannick opened the corner of the curtain. Through the window, he saw several gorgeous carriages parked at the gate of Prince Felton's mansion, and he could faintly hear the noise outside through the carriages. , obviously they are blocking traffic.

Chris' mansion is not in the center of the area where the nobles live concentratedly, but on the edge of the noble area. Because of his well-known status, even after he was named the prince, no one ever felt that this arrangement was inappropriate. Properly, Chris himself would not apply for another place to live just because of such a small problem.

Adjacent to the aristocratic district is the wealthy district. At this time, because of the excitement in front of it, many people have come to watch the excitement on both sides of the street, including nobles and commoners.

"What happened?" Yannick asked.

"Your Excellency, I'll go out and have a look." Bart said.

"No, let Baker go out." Bart's paladin outfit was easily reminiscent of his identity.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Baker opened the door, jumped out of the carriage, and went around to the front.

Baker will be back soon.

"Your Excellency, the owner of one of the carriages in front is said to be Prince George of the Charlemagne Empire."

"Charlemagne's Empire?" Yannick frowned slightly.He vaguely remembered that some members of the royal family of the Charlemagne Empire visited the Garter Empire during this time, and the Empire held a grand ball for this. Yannick also received an invitation letter at that time, but because he was about to meet the Pope, he did not accept the invitation Attend.

He also thought of the rumors that were popular in the Garter Empire some time ago. It is said that the House of Elders intends to let Chris "glorify the country" and facilitate his marriage with the princess of the Charlemagne Empire. It's a pity that the princess of the most powerful country wants to marry an illegitimate son who has no title of prince, that is really a flower stuck in cow dung.

"What is Prince George doing here?" Yannick asked.

"I don't know either. I heard from the onlookers that the prince got out of the carriage and went in angrily."

"What about the other carriages?"

"It seems that there are also nobles from the Charlemagne Empire, as well as local officials who accompanied the prince on his travels."

Yannick suddenly had a bad feeling, of course he wasn't worried about Chris, he was mourning for those nobles who didn't have eyes.

Perhaps looking at the entire empire, except for Emperor Francis II, no one knows Chris better than him. Chris usually keeps quiet, because he is too lazy to care about these people and annoys him. Grind it into slag.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Yannick originally wanted to have the carriage driven directly into the Prince's Mansion, but the matter had come to an end, and he couldn't do without the carriage.

Navy blue robes, gold and black rims, these three colors that don’t match if worn alone, it’s very likely that you won’t be able to suppress your aura and become ridiculous like a clown, but when it’s put on the newly appointed On the body of the Bishop of the Garter Empire, unexpectedly there was an indescribable harmony and an eye-catching astonishment.

Yes, stunning.

The moonlight-like silver hair was braided and tied behind the back, and when the owner leaned down to get off the carriage, it slid down, like a pool of clear spring water, slipping into the hearts of bystanders, bringing an uncontrollable admiration in their hearts.

It's not that the well-informed nobles were unaware of the news that the bishop of the empire had changed, but before they came to visit, the newly appointed bishop unexpectedly came over in person, and the destination was still the residence of a prince who had no real power.

Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor specially asked the bishop to come over to support his brother?They were puzzled.

The commoners didn't care about the convoluted thoughts of the nobles. They wanted to watch the excitement, but they saw a charming new bishop, and they were deeply amazed at the appearance of the other party.

I believe that soon, there will be rumors about this silver-haired bishop in the mouth of bards. It is conceivable that this bishop's appearance will also make countless girls in the empire fall in love with him.

The author has something to say: I believe that soon, there will be ballads about this silver-haired bishop circulated among the bards. It is conceivable that this bishop's appearance will also fascinate countless girls in the empire.
