Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

　　 Chapter 60 You are so pious!

　　 Holy City, Bethlehem.

　　Different from the bustling capital of St. Lawrence, the holy city of Bethlehem, located in the southern part of the empire, is like a jewel indulged in the mountains. Although its breath has long been reduced, it still cannot be separated from anyone's eyes.

　　As the place where the legendary **** of light descended, Bethlehem has the most majestic church and the largest number of idols among the four continents.

　　 At the same time, it is also the seat of the Holy See, and the Lateran Palace in the center of Bethlehem is the residence of the Pope.

According to legend, the star cave of Bethlehem not only preserves half of the "Book of Angel Rachel" known as the "First Book of the World", and devout believers can even pass dreams and relationships in the star cave. The gods communicate and accept the will of the gods.

　　 Bethlehem has its own laws, has its own army, and under the rule of the Pope, it is like a country within a country.

　　 However, it has been twenty years since the current Pope Clement V took over the authority of the Pope.

　　 Except for attending the coronation ceremony of the imperial emperor eighteen years ago, he never took half a step out of the Holy City. Cardinal Camus Blanchard was in charge of many matters of Bethlehem.

　　 And this time the recruitment of believers to build the idols was naturally also ordered by Camus Blanchard.

　　 At this time, outside of Bethlehem, a strange team ushered in.

　　 This is a team of about dozens of people. They crossed their chests with their right hands while walking forward unhurriedly.

　　 Idar’s soldiers escorted the fifty men to the edge of the holy city of Bethlehem, and stopped advancing, leaving the rest of the way to go by themselves.

　　 In his last life, Bruno remembered the grand scene of the pilgrimage in Mecca.

　　Since every noble leader must send someone to build a **** statue, how can the bishops of the church remember these believers from Idalling?

　　Be sure to let the bishops of the church experience the piety of the Idars!

　　 You should know that if you have a good relationship with the church, it is very good. At least in name, the birth of every imperial nobleman needs the approval of the church.

　　 More importantly, everyone, including the nobles, must pay taxes to the church. This is the legendary tithe!

　　 Tithe tax is a tax that is added to the total products of the land. It is necessary to pay taxes or goods equivalent to one-tenth of the agricultural and animal husbandry products.

　　 This is also one of the most important sources of income for the church!

　　 Although this kind of tax will almost be transferred to the civilians after the layers are transferred, Bruno feels especially distressed when he thinks that what originally belonged to the Idar collar needs to be handed over.

　　 Even if it is a civilian, it is also a civilian of Idar, so why pay taxes to the church!

　　 If you have a good relationship with the church, then the amount of tithing will be more flexible.

　　 As one of the fifty gangsters, Mike has the deepest understanding of the doctrine of the Church of Illumination, so he was regarded as the most devout believer by the lord of Idar, Bruno, and became the leader of the fifty gangsters.

　　 Bruno made a solemn promise to the gangsters who came to build the gods. All of their families in Idar can be properly taken care of.

　　 Besides, for Mike, once he has completed the task ordered by Bruno, he will be rewarded generously when he returns to Idalling!

　　 The team of fifty people is not very large, but this group of guys who have been making a cross with their right hand outside the city gate and chanting words in their mouths obviously attracted the attention of the Crusaders.

　　 "Stop!"

　　 A soldier from the Crusades stopped these strange people.

　　 "Where are you from? What do you do?"

Mike, who was piously drawing the cross, was taken aback by the sudden shout. He settled his mind, and then recalled the words of Lord Sabie and Lord Bruno a few times before, and he drew another cross on his chest. Then he said, "The villain came from Idar, a believer who went to the holy city to build a **** statue..."

　　 Soldier: щ(???)щ

　　 Hearing Mike's words, almost all the soldiers on duty next to him looked over.

　　 "Are you believers... or are you soldiers escorting civilians?" The soldier felt as if he had heard something wrong, and asked again.

　　 "We are believers and are here to repair gods!" Mike said powerfully.

　　 "Then...what about the soldiers who escorted you?"

　　 "Soldiers? Why are there soldiers? We came voluntarily!" Mike asked strangely.

　　 Something is wrong!

　　 This is not right!

　　 The civilian who was escorted by the noble master to build the idol is not a frowning face. Even the soldiers of the Crusade Army can’t be willing to ask themselves.

　　 There will be people in this world who voluntarily abandon their families and come to the holy city of Bethlehem to build statues?

　　 You must know that in this era, a man is the pillar of the family. If you come to meditate on a **** statue, what do your wife and children eat and how do they live?

　　 Ordinary aristocratic masters just take you to repair the statues, and they won’t care about the life and death of your family!

　　 Even if you can go back after repairing the idol alive, when you get home, it is estimated that the green grassland will be mad at you.

　　 It takes so much pious to the God of Light to be able to do this!

　　 I am afraid that only the bishop-level bosses can be pious to this level!

　　 Thinking of this ~www.novelmt.com~ even the soldiers couldn't help but take a high look at this team and said: "Go along this road and go to the square in the center of the city to report!"

　　 "May the God of Light bless you!" Mike said softly, and once again crossed his chest with his right hand.

　　 In a side hall of Lateran Palace.

　　 Cardinal Camus Blanchard is looking at a thick roster of civilians recruited from various places.

　　 "Did all the noble leaders send over the people responsible for building the statues?"

　　 Blanchard's voice is a bit hoarse, but his voice seems to contain an extremely strong aura, which cannot be disputed.

　　 "Except for Duke Eric and his vassals who guarded the northern frontiers of the empire, the rest of the nobles have successively sent their hands..." Beside Blankard, a bishop cautiously replied.

"Duke Eric..." The red archbishop pondered for a moment and knocked on the table, as if he had finally made some decision. He said in a deep voice, "No matter how long you wait, I'm afraid the people in Northern Xinjiang will not send it. Coming... In this case, let the statue begin to work, let the Holy Order Army supervise the work."

　　 "Yes." The bishop on the side lowered his head and quickly agreed.

　　 Regarding the currency, I checked it on Zhinet today and it will be changed, but there will not be much change.

Preliminary consideration is to use gold coins, silver shillings, and copper pennies as monetary units, and 1 gold = 20 silver shillings = 400 copper pennies. Documents from the early Middle Ages.

　　 What do you think?
