Villain: Son Of The Holy See, I Can Devour The Gods
Chapter 5 Superiority
The royal capital, Boolean Palace.
Although the Holy See advocates thrift among the clergy, it is obviously useless to such high-level bishops of Lorraine—even the bishop of Lorraine is best known not for his devotion to the Lord, but for his extravagant style.
The Holy See is not without a resident in the royal capital of Sirank, and it is very luxurious.
But the Bishop of Lorraine obviously prefers his private official residence, the Boolean Palace.
After all, if compared with the Boolean Palace, which is more luxurious than the royal palace, the residence of the Holy See is too simple
In a luxurious study, the Bishop of Lorraine is enjoying his own dinner.
Judging from the appearance alone, the Bishop of Lorraine is a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance and a big belly.
Even the loose and neat cassock could not hide his big belly, which made him look extremely bloated.
Fingers full of emeralds, gemstone rings and a cross necklace made of crystal diamonds are proof that the Bishop of Lorraine's reputation for treasures is true.
Beside the Bishop of Lorraine, there stood a middle-aged man respectfully. His name was Sager, the priest of the royal capital of the Kingdom of Sirank, and he was the confidant of the Bishop of Lorraine.
Sager respectfully said: "Master Bishop, that person has already arrived at the residence of the Holy See, and the messenger also sent the invitation to that knight attendant."
The Bishop of Lorraine nodded, and ordered: "The banquet must be arranged. You also know the identity of that person. He is very likely to become the Holy Son. You must satisfy him."
Sager smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord bishop, I have already arranged it."
"Well, I'm at ease with your work."
The Bishop of Lorraine chewed a piece of half-cooked beef in his mouth, and the blood flowed horizontally, making him look like a greedy vampire: "What do you think the person who came to observe the Grace Festival in person is for?"
Sager said without hesitation: "Although the Kingdom of Sirank is one of the most important tax areas of the Holy See, every year on the Grace Festival, great figures from the Holy Mountain come to watch the ceremony.
But it wasn't enough to arouse Lord Roland's interest at all.
I think this lord came here in person, probably for the sake of the Holy Son...
After all, with your support, maybe they can suppress the voice of the ascetic sect. "
The bishop of Lorraine squeezed out a smile on his fleshy face: "Yes, these people are now trying to win the support of the major dioceses, and the ownership of the Holy Son should be decided in the past two years."
Sager hesitated for a moment, but said: "My lord, His Highness Roland's talent is beyond doubt, and with the support of His Majesty Kerron, he is the most likely person to become the Holy Son.
Why....."
"Why haven't I made a statement yet?"
Sage hesitated and said: "If you enter the arena now, I'm afraid... that person will not really regard you as one of his own in his heart."
The Bishop of Lorraine chuckled, his small eyes flashed with cunning light: "You should have heard that just last month, there were two constitutional bishops in the Holy Mountain, three priests in white clothes were arrested and brought into the trial hall, and one The Metropolitan is excommunicated."
Hearing this, Sage lowered his head thoughtfully.
"Nowadays, the competition for the position of Holy Son within the Holy See is becoming more and more fierce. This person has a great chance of winning, but his opponents are not idle people. Even the Metropolitan can only be reduced to a funeral object... "
Sager has figured it out.
At the level of the bishop of Lorraine, there is no need to do any gambles to send charcoal in the snow.
Prematurely getting involved in the Holy Son Controversy will bring great benefits, but the risk is also not small, one mistake will fall into the abyss.
Those metropolitans are examples.
The bishop of Lorraine is a regional bishop. Although he is far away from the center, he can also avoid direct confrontation, which is also an advantage of being in the region.
If the Bishop of Lorraine had supported Roland early on, he would have already become a victim of fierce struggle by now.
But to remain neutral until now, the Bishop of Lorraine has instead become a heavy bargaining chip.
Roland, or the Cardinal Corron behind him, wants to win him over, so he has to pay a price that is enough to satisfy the Bishop of Lorraine...
Sager bowed his head deeply, full of awe.
Everyone in the world said that the Bishop of Lorraine was greedy and had no other skills except collecting money, but only his confidantes knew it.
How wise and cunning the Bishop of Lorraine is...
.........
The banquet at Boolean Palace has always been a grand event in the royal capital.
Although the nobles in the capital are no strangers to the banquets held in Bull Palace, today's banquets still want to be special.
Because tonight's banquet is to welcome the big shots from the holy mountain.
The Kingdom of Silanque is an important tax area of the Holy See. Every year on the Grace Festival, the holy mountain of the Holy See will send envoys to the royal capital to observe the ceremony in person to express the Holy See's recognition of the Kingdom of Silanic.
He was a metropolitan the year before last, and a cardinal last year. I don't know who will be the big guy this time?
The nobles of the royal capital have speculated about this and are looking forward to it.
For the Western countries where the universal religious power suppresses Wang Quan, it is undoubtedly an honor to have the great figures of the Holy Mountain come to observe the Grace Festival.
Therefore, the nobles attach great importance to tonight's banquet. If they can get the favor of the big shots from the holy mountain, then the whole family will be prosperous!
Ladies and ladies are even more formally dressed, and the most important thing is naturally the soap and perfume that are very popular in the aristocratic circle.
With these two, ladies and wives will be surrounded by faint scents, and their charm will soar.
This is simply a deadly weapon for them, and no woman can resist these two temptations.
Even though they are very expensive....
Even the cheapest perfume costs more than 300 gold coins, which is money that ordinary people can't make in ten years!
…
The evening breeze was mixed with the fragrance of tulips, and the brightly lit capital city was shrouded in a dreamy halo. There were luxury carriages parked on the street in front of the Bull Palace.
The gentlemen and ladies, led by the servants of Bull Palace, walked through the front garden and entered the banquet hall.
At this moment, a jet-black carriage was parked in front of the gate of Bull Palace, and the gold-plated purple-gold emblem on the carriage was shining brightly under the light.
A handsome young nobleman with black hair and black eyes stepped out of the carriage, and behind him was followed by a stern old man, his movements were meticulous.
Almost everyone recognized the young nobleman's identity immediately.
It is Earl Duy who is very popular in the Kingdom of Sirank now!
Almost immediately, Duy was surrounded by courteous nobles, paying homage to him.
"Count Duy, I salute you!"
"Good evening, Your Excellency the Earl."
…
At this time, Dewy was undoubtedly the most dazzling star, his every move attracted attention, and his ears were full of praise and admiration.
Duy smiled slightly, and his demeanor was noble and elegant.
Who would have thought that just a year ago, he was just a little transparent in the aristocratic circle and suffered all kinds of humiliation?
Surrounded by the nobles, Du Yi walked into the banquet hall in high spirits. Along the way, people kept paying tribute to him, and the limelight was boundless!
But Duy also knew that the transformation of these nobles was actually because he invented soap and perfume.
The current Duy can be said to be the richest person in the entire Sirank Kingdom, even richer than the king.
The nobles all want to get a little 'gift' from Duy, which is enough for them to make a lot of money.
It doesn't matter if you can't do business with Duy.
Duy is now a popular person around the king and the bishop, and it is always right to have a good relationship with him...
Du Yi was well aware of the thoughts of the nobles, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
These aristocrats look noble and reserved on the outside, but in fact, their incomparable greed is even more exaggerated than businessmen. As long as they have interests, they can kneel down like bitches and bark like dogs.
But on the surface, Dui smiled and greeted the nobles.
A sense of superiority could not help but emerge in his heart, these people are pawns in his eyes, they are just passers-by in his life.
I will eventually rule this world, and these people can only look up at myself at his feet, and will be complacent because they have talked with me...
