I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

The so-called 'saint identity review' ended, and Mayfair and Xu Siling left the church cabin.

In the room behind them, the four bishops and Archbishop Sussani looked unhappy.

The silence was broken first by the angry bishop.

"No, Archbishop, I swear to the Lord, what Raya wants to say is to admit that she has been favored by the Lord!"

"Yes, I also heard that what she meant when she spoke was to answer your question, not another answer."

Sussanny waved his hand, he was thoughtful.

"I have it, and may God continue to favor me. If not, may God have mercy on me."

He repeated what Fei'er answered, his cloudy eyes slightly narrowed.

"This answer is perfect, I can't find any loopholes."

"Archbishop, Raya is lying to you, the Pope, and the Lord. We have all seen her performance!"

"No no no."

Suzanne shook her head in denial.

"What evidence do you have that she said something she never said?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

"Since you are all here, you understand what the Pope's purpose is in arranging us. Do you think that Raya's loss of her identity as a saint is a good thing for our Holy Religion?"

The bishops looked at each other.

In fact, they all know it very well.

In the current situation, not only France needs Mayfair, but the Roman Catholic Church also needs Mayfair.

Regardless of the current holy religion, because of the Prisoner of Avignon incident, they became an accessory of the French royal family.

But Philip VI was not the previous king, and he did not have the courage and ability of previous generations of kings. Clement VI was not as mediocre as his predecessor.

The holy religion has a huge influence not only in France, but also in the whole of Europe.

We cannot focus solely on France.

Now all of Europe is suffering from the Black Death.

No matter which country or region, among the three major factions, the royal family, the nobility, and the Holy See, the most number of people died from the Black Death was the Holy See.

The Holy See died of the Black Death, which plunged the Holy Church into a storm of public opinion throughout Europe.

Many people questioned, thinking that the Lord did not protect the Holy Religion, or that this was a punishment from the Lord to punish the corruption within the Holy See.

Otherwise, why would the messengers, who have always been super capable and have the protection of the Lord, die in large numbers due to the Black Death?

Before Mayfair showed up, the Holy See was still arguing about whether the Black Death was contagious or not.

Ways to control the Black Death and treatments?

Are you kidding? There's no point in doing it. He spread his hands and started waving.

The people were afraid of the Black Death, as were many members of the Holy See.

The credibility of the Holy See suffered a major blow due to the emergence of the Black Death.

Clement VI needed to find a way to reverse the direction of public opinion and regain the credibility of the Holy See.

But they had no choice but to do nothing about the Black Death. Even if they had a way, they would not let the Black Death spread for several years in history.

Historically, in order to re-establish its credibility, the Holy See did not do many things, but all of them were damaging.

To put it bluntly, it means transforming conflicts and contradictions.

In various places in Europe, some said that the Black Death was caused by witches, and some said that they saw Jews poisoning wells.
The Holy See has done many such methods of transforming contradictions, countless of them.

The effect is there.

Otherwise, there would be no story about France gathering Jews and burning Jews.

These crude and direct intensification of conflicts gave the people an outlet for their spiritual beliefs.

They no longer doubted the God in their hearts, but firmly believed that the emergence of the Black Death was caused by these Jews.

This method was very good, but unfortunately it failed in the end, and even became the trigger for the collapse of the Holy See's credibility.

There are only two reasons for failure.

The Black Death exterminated itself too slowly, and the Jews died too quickly.

As long as the Black Death exterminates itself quickly, or the number of Jews increases several times, let the Holy See slowly organize it.

Maybe once most of the Jews had been wiped out, the Black Death would be just in time to exterminate itself.

The Holy See can be convinced that the Black Death was brought by the Jews.

In this way, the previous remarks questioning the Holy See can be transformed into motivation to support the Holy See.

It’s not even about the Renaissance.

Unfortunately, this is no longer possible.

Grilled fish has only happened once in France so far, and it was done by Xu Siling himself, and the incident has not been spread.

The appearance of Mayfair made it almost impossible for this kind of incident to happen.

The Renaissance was not only forcibly postponed.

The Black Death will also be proven to have nothing to do with the Holy See and will be controlled and treated.

The Jews, on the other hand, could live an elusive existence in the sewers of France.

Everyone has a bright future.

The bishops in the room quarreled over whether Faile's previous words were sincere.

That's something they don't want to admit.

A new cleric will appear in the Holy See, and this clergy will also be sealed with the word 'holy'.

Usually, most of the people who are later canonized as saints by the Holy See after their death.

Just like St. Margaret mentioned by Mayfair earlier, she made great contributions to the Holy Religion during her lifetime and was posthumously canonized as a saint.

In France today, there is no one alive who can bear the title of 'saint'.

And this situation will be broken.

Mayfair will be a saint of the Holy See, which has never been the case and no one has ever imagined it.

This is something that the bishops subconsciously resist.

But on the table, they couldn't refuse.

Clement VI urgently needed to recognize Mayfair's identity, and he wanted to formally incorporate Mayfair into the Holy See system.

Only in this way can he openly use Mayfair's method to promote the punishment of the Black Death, thereby controlling the public opinion throughout Europe.

You must know that European believers now have doubts about the Holy Religion.

Clement VI must come up with something to silence these questioning remarks.

And Mayfair is his savior.

pity.

If Mayfair had not written a letter frankly supporting the French royal family, this matter should have been expedited and it would not have been delayed until now before sending someone to meet.

Mayfair's unwavering support for the French royal family frightened Clement VI and other cardinals.

If they supported a new faction member who was an uncontrolled supporter of the royal family, wouldn't it cost them their lives?
Originally, the reason why Clement VI came to power was inseparable from the support of Philip VI.

But support is support. How can the Pope, who has stood at the top of European power, be willing to be controlled by others?
Even if Clement VI was French, he would not want to.

That's why Clement VI came up with this idea. He knew Philip VI too well and knew how to make Philip VI doubt and distrust Mayfair.

Logically speaking, this method is extremely good. There's nothing wrong with that question either.

It was impossible for Mayfair to deny that she had not been favored. She had no choice but to admit it.

As long as Mayfair admits it, her words of admission will reach the ears of Philip VI.

Philip VI's temperament must have worried about the instability of the throne under his butt.

His throne was due to luck and had never been stable, so naturally he was always worried about this happening.

Everything is over.

No prey fell into the hole Clement dug for Faile.

Could it be that if the prey had not fallen into the trap, wouldn't Clement VI recognize Mayfair's status as a saint?

The answer is no.

Of course he had to admit Fei'er's identity, and it was easy to compare the interests that were more important.

No matter how important France's words were, the whole of Europe had to be included in the eyes of Clement VI.

It's just that things are messed up, and Suzanne and the four protagonists look uncomfortable.

Susanni tapped her finger on the table, recalling something.

"That Raya knight is not simple."

"Archbishop, why do you say that?"

"I know very well that Raya was about to answer my question in a logical manner, but was interrupted by Knight Raya. If he hadn't interrupted Raya, we should have gotten the answer we wanted."

"Huh?" The bishop looked disbelieving. "Archbishop, are you serious? That Raya knight has a good reputation and is very powerful, but he is just an executioner."

"How could the Archbishop, an executioner, be so smart? Even Raya accidentally fell into the Pope's trap. How could he, a mere executioner, have the brains to think about the things behind the Pope's words?"

Sussanny did not refute, but just shook her head: "But you have to admit that it was because of Knight Raya's sudden interruption that gave Mayfair the chance to change her story."

What Susanne said was true, and the bishop could not refute it either.

"Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. I will write a letter to report the situation to the Pope. But we must not fall behind on what needs to be done. Be prepared. In two days, the Holy Church will usher in a Holy Lady who has never appeared in the Holy See. "

"Yes, Archbishop."

Feier and Xu Siling did not speak to each other while leaving the Paris church.

It wasn't until she left the confines of the church that Feier couldn't stop and breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her eyes, and her face under her golden hair was full of exhaustion, as if she had fought an extremely difficult battle.

"It's torture."

"Thank you for your hard work. I was watching from behind and I could feel the pressure on you."

Fei'er saw the worry in Xu Siling's eyes and smiled with relief.

"Nothing. Compared with you, I haven't done enough. After all, I can't climb the city wall, nor can I win the crown in front of so many female nobles."

"If you don't tease me for a day, you'll feel uncomfortable all over, right?"

"Xu, I didn't expect that the Pope would trip me up like this."

"That's natural." Xu Siling explained, "He can't deny your identity. He needs you, but he doesn't want you to get too close to the royal family. Mayfair, you have to admit that Clement VI's method It can avoid arousing our resentment to the least extent, and also alienates our relationship with Philip VI. "

"None of these old fools is good."

Feier thought of something and snorted.

"In a few days, you will become one of them."

Mayfair raised her eyebrows curiously: "The archbishop asked me to get ready and go to the Paris church the day after tomorrow. There will be a grand Vatican banquet waiting for me. Do you think this is true?"

Xu Siling smiled gently: "You can't believe it?"

Mayfair shook her head first, and then nodded.

"No one can accept this as a matter of course, and I am no exception, Xu. Thinking that I will really become a saint of the Holy See the day after tomorrow, and the future of this sainthood, I am both excited, but also confused and afraid."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"I know." Feier smiled with a smile on her face. Her childish face made people pinch her. "I've always been lucky to meet you. Fortunately, you're always here. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do anything, let alone Say this."

"You're going to be busy these days, so be prepared."

"Since coming to Paris, I have been preparing for it all the time, my Xu."

Xu Siling sensed something and smiled at Feier.

"Look back, trouble is coming for the nobles."

The two of them turned around at the same time and saw Marquis Boggs approaching with several men wearing high-level noble attire.

Their smiles are kind and gentle, seemingly harmless, but their eyes cannot deceive anyone.

It can only be said that they are really not as good as Archbishop Susanni in this way.

Sussanny can even deceive Faile and almost succeed in deceiving people. These proud high-ranking nobles want to deceive Faile.

Before they got close, Fei'er joked.

"Xu, let's make a bet. Do you think Marquis Boggs will introduce his daughter to you? I think he will."

Xu Siling didn't know whether she should laugh or not, and said helplessly.

"What do you want to suppress?"

"I'm forcing you to do one thing. If I win, you go to John's Mansion tomorrow, find Princess Blanche, and ask her for a gift. Just say you want it."

"Okay, okay." Xu Siling nodded helplessly.

Mayfair was surprised: "Why don't you ask me what will happen if I lose?"

"To be honest, I don't really think you will lose."

In fact, that's exactly what the two of them thought.

Marquis Boggs wants to build a closer relationship with each other, and Chrissy is the key link, because Xu Siling once saved Chrissy's life in a knight's competition.

This is a big favor that can't be repaid in one or two favors.

Not to mention that it was the first time in Chris' life that she was so attracted to a man. Although Marquis Boggs knew that Xu Siling was married, he didn't care.

Men are all the same.

Marquis Boggs brought people closer, his smile seemed very sincere.

"Miss Raya, how was your chat with Archbishop Susanni? Judging from your expression, it seems to have gone well."

"Your Majesty, Marquis Lao, took the trouble and it went really well. Archbishop Sussani is a very quiet and kind elder. She takes good care of me."

Marquis Boggs looked at Xu Siling with a smile and said hello.

"Our perfect knight meets again!"

"Lord Marquis, it has not been more than an hour since we last met."

"As expected of a perfect knight, he even captures time so carefully."

To be honest, Xu Siling looked at Marquis Boggs and others laughing together, and he really couldn't stand such embarrassing pursuit.

Unexpectedly, his daughter had been under him last night, and there was such a relationship.

No matter how bad Boggs is at flattering others, he still looks good on him.

Who makes his daughter already his own?

Fei'er also couldn't stand the awkward drama of a few old men, so she asked directly.

"My lords, don't you know what's going on?"

"Miss Laya, I have discussed with some good friends to hold a banquet at Yao's home tonight and invite you to attend. I wonder if you are willing to reward me." (End of Chapter)
