Chapter 246 Cardinal——Mike! (Please subscribe! Two-in-one!)

The cold winter did not have a great impact on the holy city of Bethlehem, which was located deep in the southern border of the empire. Although there was no barrier from the mountains, when the cold wind from the northern border of the empire invaded the surroundings of the holy city, it quietly The sound disappeared.

It is precisely because of the dual blessings of being as warm as spring in the cold winter and the bright church that the name of the holy city of Bethlehem is so resounding, attracting countless devout believers.

Lateran Palace.

Cardinal Camus Blanchard frowned tightly, his face looked a little displeased, but his eyes still revealed a bit of hatred for the iron that cannot be transformed into steel.

"Are you sure you have thought clearly?" The red archbishop hesitated for a moment, finally opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the villain has thought it through!"

Mike looked into the Archbishop's eyes and said firmly.

Mike came here to say goodbye to the Cardinal.

In fact, he could have slipped away quietly, but after some weighing, Mike decided to come to the red archbishop to make a sound.

Without Cardinal Camus Blanchard's personal nod, how could he suddenly become a priest from an ordinary believer, and then naturally enter the Inquisition, a powerful institution in the Holy See of Light? An important institution?

Moreover, if you come here specifically to seek advice from Cardinal Camus Blanchard, you might be able to rely on the Cardinal’s appreciation of yourself and finally gain some benefits for Idar…

Regarding this, Mike has strong confidence in his dog-licking skills.

There are two reasons why Mike is suddenly so eager to return to Idar Territory.

On the one hand, it is because he has learned some of the secrets hidden behind the church, and on the other hand, it is because the Odin people are gradually encroaching on the eastern part of the empire.

At this moment, the news that the first wave of attacks by the Odin people was repelled by the Idar people has not yet spread, so...

As the spy sent by Count Idar to the church, and as a native of Idar, when he heard the news that the Odin people would invade the Idar territory, Mike's most instinctive reaction was to return as soon as possible. Idar Territory, report your major discovery to the Earl - a discovery that may allow the Stuart family's rule to continue in another form!

In Mike's view, now is the most critical moment related to the life and death of the Idar Territory!

As soon as the Battle of Glen Highlands ended, Mike and the gangsters were dispatched to the holy city of Bethlehem. Therefore, Mike was somewhat unsure about the true situation in the Idar Territory.

Although he has great confidence in Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, but...

The situation of the war is always changing rapidly. Even if the Earl can successfully repel the harassment of Sauron Territory, when the Idar Territory faces the more powerful Odin Iron Cavalry... who can say for sure?

What's more, if the Idar Territory really turned into history under the invasion of the Odins, then who should he report to for the information that he had finally dug out from under the church? Could such a shocking secret just rot in his stomach?

Therefore, Mike came to the Rutland Palace and gave a reason that although it sounded a bit absurd, it was also reasonable...

He wants to return to the Idar territory in the eastern part of the empire, support the Idar people in their counterattack against the pagans, and like the ancestors of the church, participate in the battle against the pagans until death!

after all……

Mike's character is that of a devout believer, so when the war comes, it is not difficult to understand why he requests to return to the Idar territory in the eastern part of the empire to pray for that land.

Moreover, at the beginning of the founding of the Norman Empire, the figures of the Holy See clergy did appear on the front lines of the war.

Although they will not go into battle to kill the enemy, they will pray for the wounded soldiers in the camp. It is said that... this has a great effect on the implementation of bloodletting therapy and saved the lives of countless Norman soldiers.

Cardinal Camus Blanchard gently tapped the armrest on the side of the seat with the knuckles of his fingers, seeming to be struggling with whether he should agree to Mike's request.

In the days since Mike arrived in the holy city of Bethlehem, he has always shown a deep longing for the Idar Territory, so it is not too abrupt to make a request to return to the Idar Territory at this moment.

only……

What a wonderful seedling this is!

In Camus Blanchard's impression, Mike not only had a devout belief in the God of Light, but was also extremely serious and responsible in everything he did. He even considered promoting Mike to be a leader as soon as possible. bishop……

Thinking of this, Camus Blanchard looked at Mike with a hint of unbearability... Could such a good seedling be gone forever like this?

Camus Blanchard never thought that Mike could come back alive, because in his knowledge, no force in the eastern part of the empire could resist the invasion of the Odins...

And for a believer of the Church of Light to be surrounded by a group of pagans, the possibility of survival is extremely slim...

so……

"According to church practice, only bishops can bless and pray for the soldiers of the Norman Empire on the front lines of the battlefield. Although you have lofty and sincere faith in the God of Light, you are only a priest after all, and you are not qualified... …”

Hearing this, Mike's heart suddenly went cold...

Damn it! Careless!

You don’t know how to take off your clothes, do you?

"...So, since your desire to return to the eastern part of the empire to fight against the infidels is so strong, I will promote you to the cardinal of the eastern diocese and do your best..."

Camus Blanchard really wanted to refuse, but looking at Mike's firm eyes, he knew that unless he detained Mike here, there was absolutely no way he could stop Mike from returning to the Idar territory.

In this case, let's simply promote Mike to Cardinal, and let the priests and bishops in the church see that as long as they have a pious faith in the God of Light, they can be promoted to Bishop in one year!

not to mention……

In Camus Blanchard's opinion, Mike's cardinal probably won't last long. After all, the wolf-like Odin people are definitely not something that Mike, a bare-handed believer, can mess with at will...

Hearing this, Mike felt his head was a little dazed.

This is a cardinal!

According to the hierarchy of church clergy, the cardinals who are dispatched are all deacon-level cardinals, who control all religious affairs in the diocese under their jurisdiction, and can be regarded as middle- and high-level clergy in the church!

And it only took him a mere year to go from believer to priest to cardinal?

Although this is related to the fact that the red archbishop believes that he is rushing to die and be reincarnated, such a promotion speed is enough to be called sensational!

"Lord Blanchard..."

For a moment, Mike was so excited that he knelt down in front of Blanchard, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and fell to the ground along his cheeks.

"Go, go! Work hard! If you can come back alive from this trip, your future will be limitless!"

The red archbishop nodded and said.

I will never come back!

Although Mike felt extremely happy, he still burst into tears and said very emotionally:

"The villain will definitely live up to Lord Blanchard's expectations and fight to the death against those heretics until the end!"

Seeing Mike kneeling in front of him and making an impassioned speech, the cardinal archbishop was filled with emotion.

Since the power of the church has grown stronger, there have been few clergymen as sincere as Mike who have taken the initiative to go to the front lines to pray for the soldiers...

…

In the morning, I went to the Lateran Palace to say goodbye to the Cardinal. At noon, I took the appointment document issued by the Holy See and ran away in a bucket.

Mike had already packed his luggage and planned his departure route. He couldn't wait to get on the horse he bought a few days ago and ran towards the outside of the city as fast as he could.

The Crusaders soldiers who were patrolling the city naturally saw Mike who was ignoring the rules of the Holy See and running wildly through the streets of Bethlehem, but they turned a blind eye to it. On the contrary, they admired Mike's actions.

The new Cardinal Michael was going to the eastern part of the empire to personally fight the pagans from the Odin Empire. This news had been widely spread in the city of Bethlehem from the moment Michael stepped out of the Lateran Palace.

So much so that even the eyes of these Crusader soldiers looking at Mike became increasingly fiery.

They also wanted to go to the front line in person like Mike and see those damn infidels, but... they didn't have the courage...

When Mike finally rode the horse under him and left Bethlehem in a swaggering manner under the watchful eyes of everyone,

He turned back and looked at the towering city walls of Bethlehem. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed at this moment.

Every day in the Holy See is like walking on thin ice. Mike must be cautious at all times and not dare to make the slightest mistake.

Especially after he extracted some secrets about the church from Bishop Barbosa, Mike did not dare to show any flaws.

What the hell is God? He’s long dead!

this……

These were the exact words spoken by Bishop Barbosa after he was drunk!

This sentence contains two meanings.

One is that there really is a god in this world, at least there once was; and the second meaning is that the former god is dead.

The drunken Bishop Barbosa used the plainest words to tell this secret that made Mike feel trembling.

Mike wanted to continue asking questions, but it seemed that Bishop Barbossa was not high enough and knew only this little. This was only known because he was in an important papal institution such as the Inquisition.

The discussion about gods ended here, and Mike only got this little gain.

However... Bishop Barbosa does not know much about the topic of gods, but he knows a lot about the church's dirty information and what the church has done in the world.

Therefore, he revealed a lot of shocking secrets.

For example...

The war that is breaking out now is jointly planned by the church and the pagans of the Odin Empire!

Under the actions of the Inquisition, the church used some means to open a passage for the Odin people's cavalry to pass through the Forest of Warcraft, allowing the Odin people to directly cross the fourteen fortresses of the Northern Territory and penetrate deep into the northeastern territory of the empire. middle.

In addition, even the death of the Norman Emperor Raphael Alexander was under the instruction of the Church of Light, and... it was even planned by Bishop Barbossa of the Inquisition himself!

The Church of Light helped the pagans to invade their own country. This matter sounds very nonsense no matter how you hear it, but Bishop Barbosa said it with a clear nose and eyes, which makes people have to believe it.

so……

Mike felt particularly disgusted when he thought of Cardinal Camus Blanchard's usual contempt for the Odin people and his pretentious praise of his courage to fight against the pagans.

Pooh!

Hypocritical guy!

However, hypocrisy is hypocrisy. The position of Cardinal in the Eastern Diocese that he had previously obtained from Camus Blanchard was a fragrant one!

It's just a little embarrassing to say... This so-called Eastern Diocese was actually just established a few hours ago when Mike said goodbye to the Cardinal Archbishop in person.

The Church of Light did not originally establish an eastern diocese, because most of the dioceses of the Church of Light were designated at the beginning of the founding of the Norman Empire.

At that time, most of the land in the eastern part of the empire, including the Idar territory, still belonged to the Kingdom of Basel, which is now huddled in the southeastern corner of the continent.

It is precisely because of these historical reasons that not only the royal family and the Regency Council of the Norman Empire paid little attention to the territory in the eastern part of the empire, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net even the Church of Light paid very limited attention to the eastern part of the empire.

In addition, the Odins are about to take over the entire eastern part of the empire, so...

With a wave of his hand, Camus Blanchard brought the entire eastern part of the empire under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Diocese.

If Bruno were here at this moment, I'm afraid he would laugh out loud with joy!

As the owner of the Order of St. George, he already has a certain degree of religious interpretation power. Together with Michael, the cardinal of the eastern diocese of the empire, wouldn't it be possible to create a brand new church based on the Church of Light? Properly?

After taking one last look at the holy city where he had been lurking for a year, Mike immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Idar's leadership.

He didn't know how long the Idar Territory could resist the Odin offensive, so...

He must tell Bruno a piece of news from the Church of Light as soon as possible...

Beyond this continent, on the other side of the ocean,

There is also a wider land.
