At one o'clock in the morning, Londinium is extraordinarily quiet. This city does not have the tradition of staying up all night like Longmen. People living in this city abide by the ancient living habits, and are particularly particular about the quality of sleep.The outskirts of Londinium was originally a remote place where only some idle nobles would build houses here. When it was late at night, it naturally became more deserted.
Wayne arrived at Langdon Monastery on foot. Aslans are not good at long-distance raids, but if they take a slow walk while eating snacks bought in the market, with Aslan's physical strength, no matter how many kilometers they walk will be tired.
Wayne greeted Wei Na at nine o'clock in the evening, set off from the palace, walked around the snack street in Londinium along the way, and strolled along the Thames River at night, so it took a lot of money. After almost four hours, they finally wandered to the gate of Langdon Abbey.
This was done on purpose by him. After all, going early will make people feel impatient, which is not conducive to negotiations, and it is difficult to explain why he sneaked out so early without Wei Na's sight.And he went too late, and it didn't fit his personality, so he didn't seem to care about this matter.Therefore, one o'clock is the best time for the Victorians to fall asleep.
Wayne clapped his hands, wiped off the chili noodles on Yanguo snacks, reached out and knocked on the door of the church.
As he watched, Mostima, who followed beside him, had goosebumps.
The gate of the monastery is still very sacred, and the inside is the domain of the gods. It is considered disrespectful to touch it with oily hands.
But thinking of his mission and situation, Mostima couldn't say anything more.
Since the Pope asked her, the special envoy of the Holy See, to come to Victoria to be a liaison officer who is on call on the surface and secretly monitors Wayne's watcher, whether it is out of humility or out of conspicuous considerations, I am not suitable to play the role of counselor.
I will remind Urbino later and ask him to prepare a basin of water to wash his hands.
Don't look at Mostima's carefree and indifferent attitude towards the church, but when it comes to the level of piety of faith, there may not be many people in Rutland who can match her.
It's just that she believes in a transcendent god, not a secular church.
"Bang bang."
There was a knock on the door, and a few dozen seconds later, the blond nun Li Boli gently pushed the door open.
"You two, it's so late, is there something to do in Langdon?"
Xi Dejia, also known as Kong Xian, looked at the two people outside the door suspiciously and asked.
When her gaze turned to Mastema, she was immediately drawn to the dim halo around her head.
Mostima's halo is not bright, just like a short-circuited incandescent lamp, which loses its lighting effect in the dark, which was once ridiculed by Wayne: "The monthly electricity bill will be half more. "Kongxian didn't notice the identity of Mostima at the first time, also because of the halo that didn't shine.
After all, in her opinion, Sakota people are born with holy light, such as Mostima, who is hacked, and her first reaction ruled out that she is the option of Sakota.
And now, now that he has noticed, Kong Xian hastily opened the door of the monastery a little more, bowed to the two, and stretched out his hand to lead the way:
"It turns out to be Lord Angel, please come in, Lord Bishop has been waiting for a long time."
The bishop naturally meant Urbino, and he had indeed been waiting for a long time.
I was so hungry that I lay on the sofa and reported the name of the dish.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Urbino raised his head and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Wayne who had arrived late with an apologetic smile on his face.
so far so good.
To be honest, since Wayne hasn't come for so long, he thought he was on the second floor while the two were playing charades today, and Wayne was only on the first floor, so he didn't understand him at all.
Fortunately, Wayne came, which proved that he was not that stupid, and also proved that he did have the idea of making a comeback and the value of being supported by Rutland.
"Oh, my friend."
Urbino stood up, wanting to give Wayne a big hug.
Wayne turned sideways, avoiding the arms of Urbino, who was already staggering from hunger.
"No, my friend, I accept your wish. If you want to hug, please let Miss Mostima next to me do it."
"a ha ha ha....."
Mostima, who was suddenly named, let out an embarrassed laugh.
Just kidding, she is an artist but not a woman, you have to wash your hands before hugging, understand?
Mostimara grabbed Urbino's clothes, pulled him aside, and said:
"Go fetch a basin of water."
Urbino gave her a strange look: "Did you touch something unclean on Wayne Road?"
"That's not true, that thing is quite fragrant."
Mostima replied.Urbino chuckled:
"Then why wash your hands? Finish the task earlier, and I have to go back to Rutland."
After finishing speaking, he put down Mostima and started chatting with Wayne.
"His Royal Highness, you are a little late."
"Didn't it take some time to get rid of eyeliner on the road?" Wayne smiled embarrassedly.
Mostima's mouth twitched.
Huh, get rid of eyeliner?I see that when you walked all the way to the snack street and asked me to pay the bill, you didn't pay attention to the eyeliner issue at all.
You just haven't come out for a long time, so go and have a good meal, right?
Mostima understood this feeling very well. Before, when she was taking care of the younger sister of the old man, the little naughty egg with wine red hair did the same thing after being imprisoned for bombing the school.She calls this—snack withdrawal.
Urbino did not doubt that he was there, he paused, withdrew his cheerful tone of greeting, and became serious:
"Then let's get down to business."
He clapped his hands, and behind him, a Sakota attendant warlock from Lateran manipulated the origin stone skill of the fire department to light the candles placed on the altar at the same time.
The light was gathered together by the spotlight glass around the altar, and hit the altar on which the priest made alms, and what was placed on that altar at the moment was nothing else but the "first funds" that Urbino had promised to Venn. 50 Rutland gold coins.
This is not a check that needs to be cashed at Citibank Colombia, but actual gold coins.A total of 50 gold coins were placed in ten huge boxes, filling the center of the altar.The top of the box was opened, and the gold coins shone reddish-gold under the light of the candle.
"Your Highness, this is Rutland's sincerity."
Wayne's expression gradually changed from sluggishness to ecstasy, and he grabbed Urbino's arms fiercely with both hands.
"It's great, with these things, I can definitely make a comeback!"
On the side, Mostima looked at the happy and smiling expressions of the two, and the corners of his eyes twitched a little.
Poor Urbino.
Seeing Wayne's finger rubbing back and forth on Urbino's white teaching robe to wipe off all the oil stains, Mostima thought for a while, but decided not to say anything.
Who told you not to listen to me and fetch a basin of water?
Chapter 24 The King Only Cares About His People
What is the most important thing on the land of Terra?
dollar! When the dollar arrives, life also arrives.
Wayne was just joking. In fact, to him, money or not is not very important. No amount of money can disturb his mentality of treating money as dung.
But why did he agree to Urbino's request without hesitation, and came to Langdon Monastery without sleeping in the middle of the night?
It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the important thing is whoring for nothing!How cool is it to go whoring for nothing, 50 Lateran gold coins, put on a show, sell it badly, and put it in your pocket. Anyone who doesn't do this kind of thing is an idiot.
Since Urbino referred to the money as [missionary maintenance fee], Wayne didn't bother to expose him. He stepped forward generously, snapped the golden gold coin box shut, and said to Urbino Nuo laughed:
"Thank you, the Pope, for your dedication to Victoria's missionary work, and Wayne is very grateful here!"
50 Lateran gold coins!
His Excellency the Pope is generous, and he will give as much as he says. How much money does the entire Pope Palace have?
Do you want to find an opportunity to take a few "relatives and friends" of the army group, carry dozens of "sugar-coated shells", and go to Lateran to make a pilgrimage?
I believe that with the financial power of the Holy See, it will definitely earn more than paying tribute to Dayan!
Seeing Wayne's expression on the verge of laughing, Urbino sneered disdainfully in his heart.
Seeing that the money is open, it is best to control this kind of person. Don't look at Rutland's money to protect you and help you now. When the world changes, the money will definitely be drawn back from Victoria ten times and a hundred times!
But now, he must follow Wayne.
Urbino skillfully squeezed out a smile, stepped forward, took the initiative to hold Wayne's hand, and said:
"This is not only His Majesty's support for Victoria's missionary work, but also His Majesty's condolences to friends. Your Highness Wayne, you have worked hard during this time!"
Urbino said affectionately, a trace of astonishment appeared on Wayne's face, and then he sighed deeply.
"Thank you, His Majesty Pope, for taking care of me. During this period of time, hey, I don't think about eating and drinking."
There are fish and chips every day, and from time to time there is a star-gazing pie. Of course, he, a heavy-tasting celestial traveler, can't stand this kind of food.
In fact, Wayne felt that Wei Na might not be able to bear this damn food, because Wayne noticed that the time Wei Na ate the most every day was neither lunch nor dinner, but afternoon tea.All kinds of cakes and desserts were delivered to their mouths without money, and they were dismissive of the evening meal prompted by the maid.
It’s true, Victoria’s folks also have delicious food. This time Wen’s night out at the snack street also proved this point. However, the palace always talks about the food that is close to the common people, saying that it is to show the royal family. He does not eat and live with the common people.
Hehe, Wayne said, this is a big bad habit!
From the people to the people, if you don't know how to get close to the common people, you will be sent to the guillotine sooner or later!
What, I am the king, the king?
That's fine.
Go back and reform. The first step is to recruit a cook from the Yan Kingdom.
Seeing Wayne wandering in the sky, with a smile that can achieve great things and has a plan on his face from time to time, Urbino was already half relieved.
It seems that Wayne is already thinking about how to use this money to do something big!
50 Lateran gold coins, to be honest, this is an amount that even his newly promoted cardinal would covet—he can’t help it, he hasn’t started selling indulgences yet.Such a large sum of money, if it wasn't for his future and life, a fool would give all the money to outsiders.
But looking at it from another angle, 50 Lateran gold coins is not a small sum. Even if it were him, it would take a long time to spend all of them. What's more, Wayne is still under Wei Na's surveillance. , and it is not easy to use up all the money. This money will be used for Wayne's activities for a long time in the future. Rutland's investment is worthwhile in the long run.
Not to mention 50 gold coins, even if it was 50 pigs, it would take a year and a half for Wayne to kill all by himself!
"What's your name?"
"Sidja."
"I can't bear to light the candles in this church at night, and all the facilities are dilapidated, and they need to be repaired. How about this, I will give you a thousand gold coins, and you will be responsible for repairing Langdon Abbey. Take it."
"Hey, this..."
Sora blinked in surprise, but looked at Urbino with some hesitation.
Urbino: "..."
Tsk, I forgot, besides money, Wayne also likes beautiful girls.
What kind of church needs a thousand gold coins to repair? Langdon Abbey is currently the most magnificent and complete Rutland church in Victoria. Where does it need to be repaired? This guy, Wayne, obviously borrowed the name he gave Selling favors, just wanting to pick up girls!
Lend my Lateran money to have my Lateran nuns in my Lateran monastery?
Good guy, is it really the highest level of prostitution?
Urbino closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded slightly towards Kong Xian.
Only then did Kong Xian take the gold coin overjoyed, and bowed to Wayne:
"Thank you for your help to the church. Without this money, we would hardly be able to eat!"
To be honest, before Urbino came, Kongxian even broke the monastery's ban on non-interference in secular affairs, went out to work to earn money, and supported the monastery.When Urbino came to Langdon Abbey carrying a large box of gold coins, Sora had also fantasized that this was the relief that the Pope, who was far away in the sky, was considerate of the Church of Victoria in dire straits. funds.But the illusion is always ruthlessly broken. The angels who came to the monastery ate up their bread for tomorrow, lit the candles they were reluctant to light, and would be able to save their lives in front of the sacred altar, and even save the entire Victorian church. All the gold coins for his life were given to an unknown handsome boy.
Are you dissatisfied?Of course there are.
Want to say disappointed?Of course there are.
But Kong Xian didn't know how to release this repressed dissatisfaction in her heart. In her heart, the church was always above everything else. Although this angel was not as kind, open-minded, and helpful as he imagined, he was after all The Sakota people are the bishops of the holy city, and they are not something that can be slandered by lambs in remote areas who yearn for God's forgiveness of sins.
When Wayne offered to give her a thousand gold coins, Kong Xian was overjoyed and wanted to accept it, stretched out his hand, but shrank back timidly.She was a little afraid that her presumptuous behavior would arouse Urbino's dissatisfaction, so she turned her head and sought his opinion, and only after he nodded in agreement did she accept the quick money.
Such an action more or less disappointed Wayne.But he was not discouraged, the emancipation of the mind required a process, he had already learned from Wei Na about the tragic situation of Rutland Church in Victoria, and Wei En's action just now was to test, to test a person in a state of extreme poverty The next nun, between life and faith, which one will she choose?
It turned out that the pious nun chose faith in the end.
But Wayne also got what he wanted.
He saw the shaking of Kong Xian's suppressed human instinct when he handed out the olive branch of life, and saw the hands that stretched halfway before suddenly retracting.
This is enough.
Freezing three feet is not a day's work, and water dripping through a stone is not a day's work. Lateran's belief has been established for a thousand years, and he cannot break it lightly overnight. This stubborn rock needs hard hitting and soft grinding.If you fail this time, there will be a next time.
Wayne believes that there will be a day when Kongxian will readily accept help from the state and see himself as a member of Victoria, rather than just following Rutland's lead.
Because God only guides people to be good, and only the king cares about his people.
