Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

"It's done, the harvest is not small." Wayne's mouth raised a smile, of course the harvest is not small.Not only did he know what was in Wei Yanwu's box, but he also learned about Wei Yanwu's backer, and even said a classic line that he wanted to say a long time ago.

I just don't know what Wei Yanwu will come up with from this.With the peak brain power of the Yan people, this is really something worth looking forward to.

But these are not suitable to be told on the street. Wayne paused, changed the subject, and stated his purpose:

"Come out for a walk, Teresia?"

"Do you want to bring Wei Na?" Teresia did not refuse, but asked instead.

Wayne thought for a while and replied, "Is she asleep?"

"No, I'm watching the news." Teresia turned her head and glanced at the Yan Guoqiang announcer who was sitting in the living room, watching TV while repeating what he said, practicing her Yan Guohua pronounce.

She worked hard.Wayne is right, learning a foreign language is not a bad thing.Although logically speaking, it is more appropriate to choose the Ursas language that is often contacted than the language of the Yan Kingdom, which is closed to the outside world.But in order to understand Wei En's strange Yan Guo proverbs, she decided to learn Yan Guo dialect first.

"Then let's talk about it after she falls asleep."

Wayne said disdainfully.

Theresa smiled helplessly:

"Don't be like this, I promised to take Wei Na out to play."

Wayne waved his hand subconsciously: "Just kidding. Don't wait for the next time, let's call Wei Na this time. But say yes, you will supervise her with me later, and don't let her eat too much. Don't let her drink."

"Understood." Teresa nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you at 'Earth's End'. Take a taxi."

After Wayne finished speaking, he paused, and after saying goodbye to Theresa, he hung up the phone.

He's going to 'Earth's End'.

As a qualified lion, how could he refuse Aneng's invitation?With the personality of an angel, since they have already handed over their business cards, they will definitely go to the end of the earth every day to wait for Wayne.A girl's curiosity is a terrifying thing.Wayne didn't want to let her wait for too long by releasing the energy angel pigeon.

On a big night, in a place like Longmen, if you are invited, instead of going to the Emperor’s Bar, you can listen to expensive vinyl records, drink a cocktail made by Texas, and enjoy the gorgeous neon lights while having a conversation with your favorite If you talk freely, you really don't know how to enjoy life, right?

Don't tell me, this is a bit like a cyberpunk romance drama.

Thinking of this, Wayne took out Neng Angel's Apple red business card in his bag, turned on the mobile phone terminal, connected to Longmen's LAN, and started walking in the direction of the bar at the end of the earth according to the map.

He wasn't going to take a taxi like Teresia and Vina did.Although that saves time, it somewhat wastes the scenery along the way.According to the plot in The Law of Noise, the night market in Longmen is also an indispensable feature of the city, and Wayne wants to experience it for himself.

Maybe, you can still find some buildings with a sense of memory, and food that seems familiar?

Although he has gradually integrated into and changed this world, as a foreigner, Wayne will still be more or less emotional.

With his back facing the setting sun and the dusk reflected on his body, Wayne walked towards the street in front of him with his head held high and his chest held high.Without taking a step, the neon lights lit up one by one until the whole city was lit up.Step by step, without stopping.

...........

Lateran, holy city.

Towering buildings, sharp or sleek domes, churches lined with congregations.This is the Kingdom of God coming to earth.The final home of all Sakotas above the land.

Layers of thick doors were pushed open by the religious knights guarding the gates, dressed in red robes and gorgeous crowns, the face of Archbishop Urbino in red was brimming with a happy smile.

He is now a big red man in front of the Pope, the best, youngest, and bravest cardinal—Father Urbino.These venerable and pompous titles are not earned by flattery alone.He, Urbino, is undoubtedly the most capable cardinal in Lateran today!

Since taking office, a total of three major events have been accomplished. The first one is to win over Wayne Bruce, who is the royal family of Victoria, and win a valuable ally for Victoria.Although this ally is somewhat useless now, since there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he betrayed, this can be regarded as a great achievement like Urbino.Second, to turn the tide and help the building to collapse. At the time when the flames of the religious reform were burning most fiercely, he presided over the successful holding of the Holy City Assembly covering the entire Lateran religious world, and implemented a certain degree of reformation. The reform has stabilized the fundamentals of the Catholic Church at a minimal cost.

The third is the conversion event in Colombia that revived the majesty of the Catholic Church.Borrowing negotiation and diplomatic means, they successfully reached an agreement with the remnants of the western parliament and the orthodox former federal government. At the cost of converting the whole country to Lateran Catholicism, becoming believers, and establishing it as the state religion, in exchange for Lateran's assistance.It can be said that the Lateran power network, which had shrunk greatly after the religious reformation, took the first step of expansion again!

It is indispensable, and the credit is great!Although Urbino is still a cardinal, he has become a representative of the new generation of Lateran priests competing for the position of pope.

But, he still needs a stepping stone.A stepping stone with enough weight to take the last step of ascending to the gods!

That is, to knock open the door of that ancient empire, and spread the faith of the Catholic Church to a piece of land that has never been cultivated!

Chapter 59 Urbino Rebukes the Church

Lateran, Holy City, Pope's Palace, Cardinal Chamber.

Urbino strolled in here, and the other cardinals who had already arrived one after another nodded their greetings to him one after another. Some of them seemed to be convinced, while others seemed very reluctant.

Urbino didn't care about this either, he knew that those who smiled forcedly were old people.They are all remnants of the old days, still stuck in the most glorious days of Lateran.He believes that the pope is the representative of the gods, the supreme person on the earth, and the cardinal who handles secular affairs for the pope himself is equivalent to the king, emperor and president of the countries of the earth.

But Urbino knew that those were things of the past.

Today's Lateran is no longer what it used to be. Although Iberia is still under control, except for Iberia, the rest of the land countries that were once restrained have basically awakened. Shackled.Today's pope is no longer the only representative of the gods in the world built by the Lateran religious system. Every believer in Protestantism believes that he can communicate with the gods and that he has the power to become the pope in theory.

His Majesty the Pope is now nothing more than a secular lord.Since the church fell from the altar, he has stayed behind closed doors, probably because he wanted to use the last "mystery" to maintain his stubborn self-esteem.

As for these old men, or "old-minded people", the Rutland of the new era does not have a ship that can carry them, and the future Rutland will no longer need such a group of domineering and self-important cardinals.

If they cannot learn humility, Urbino will teach them humility in the future.Then kick them out!

"Hello everyone."

Urbino smiled, but the light in his eyes grew brighter.

He dared to utter such bold words and made such a great wish, naturally there was a reason.

"Everyone, things are basically done."

With a flat face, he said with a secret joy in his heart,

"Wei Yanwu of Longmen has already agreed to our cooperation. Our support - money, weapons, technology, staff, and even instructors - will soon arrive at Longmen. The Great Yan Empire, the fortress known as the forbidden zone of the gods, will soon officially Disintegrating from within, I will open up a whole new world for the Catholic Church!"

Various emotions such as shock, excitement, and contemplation appeared on the faces of everyone.After a while, Bishop Raymond, who is an old school sect, criticized:

"Bishop Urbino, your enthusiasm for opening up a new place of faith for the Catholic Church is commendable, but is your behavior somewhat reckless? It is our duty to spread our faith to the land that lacks the nourishment of gods." , but it is also their honor, we can provide them with some friendly help, but like you, is exaggerated assistance a bit too much?"

Most of the rest of the people also showed hesitant expressions on their faces, obviously thinking that what Bishop Raymond said was somewhat reasonable.

How much did Urbino give?

To put it simply, he gave Wei Yanwu ten "Waynes".

This is an outrageous transaction by anyone's point of view.Lateran wanted to expand his sphere of influence to Victoria, and in order to win over Wayne Bruce, the heir to the throne, he only spent tens of millions of Lateran gold coins.But this time, just to win over Wei Yanwu and support him in a game with an unknown success rate, he bet ten Wei En directly.

It's too radical.If it weren't for that person's acquiescence, it would be absolutely impossible for the Cardinals to pass this bill!

But facing the reprimand, Urbino curled his lips in disdain and laughed out loud.He spread his hands and said:

"Everyone, aren't you being a bit naive? Is the current Rutland the same as the former Rutland?"

"What did we have before, elite soldiers, strong generals, relic technology, a wide range of believers, affected countries, and a huge sphere of influence! And what we lacked at the time, lack of money! In order to maintain our circle of influence, we lacked money, very Lack of money!"

"So what did we do? We were at a critical step in the plan. When we were trying to reach into Victoria, that ancient and huge country, when we were trying to make the Catholic Church completely unify the ideological world of the entire land of Terra, because of the lack of Funding seems timid!"

Urbino raised his voice and reprimanded mercilessly:

"It's you, Bishop Raymond! It was you who voted against my proposal to increase funding for Mr. Wayne Bruce in the parliament! It was because of you, a short-sighted bastard, that His Royal Highness couldn't make it in the fastest time. Winning people's hearts and ascending to the throne gave the nobles of Victoria time to react, unite as one, and elected an anti-Latland queen, which made the flames of religious reform burn from under our noses!"

"Just imagine, if you weren't so arrogant at the time, if we had given more, if we had been more cautious towards Victoria, none of this would have happened, and our Rutland would not have become what it is today! And all this is because of your [arrogance]! Do you understand?!"

Urbino slapped the table and stood up, stretched out his hand to hold his heart, and preached loudly:

"And now, what we are facing is an equally ancient and huge empire that is not inferior to Victoria. The person we have chosen, his claims, and his power are not even as strong as His Royal Highness Wayne at that time. We are not willing to do more now. Spend your pennies to support him! Short time guy, do you want to [arrogant] a few more times, do you want to ruin Rutland?!"

Urbino changed his mood, made a heartbroken expression, and the hand covering his chest changed into a claw shape, and lamented:

"Poor our loyal ally His Royal Highness Wayne, who still insists on saying hello to His Majesty the Pope every month, reporting his safety, and reporting on Victoria's thriving situation and the unfair treatment he has suffered. I hope His Majesty can entrust him with another missionary mission." Maintenance fees, so that he can make a comeback. We have brought an ally to this end, do you want another friend who has just begun to believe in us to suffer like this?!"

Urbino took a deep breath, and said in a strange way:

"Do you know what Rutland needs most now? Money! Because some of us made a mistake in our judgment, all the funds we used to maintain a huge network of influence have been freed. So, give, don't say ten One Wayne, even twenty, also! I will give as much as he wants!"

"All for the glory of our lord, all for Lateran!"

Urbino swore the oath, adding inwardly: "All for my Pope."

His mouth is full of doctrine, and his mind is full of business.Spend some money and support Wei Yanwu, and you can get his Pope position.What a deal.

As for Raymond, he was not pleasing to the eye.

Chapter 60 If you didn't complete the task, you don't have to come back

"you!"

How can Bishop Raymond swallow this breath? He has been a cardinal for decades and has worked hard for the Holy See for decades, but now he is scolded as a sinner of the church by a young man who has just gained power.Bishop Raymond immediately became angry and wanted to refute.

However, before he could speak, the door leading to the Pope's Palace was slowly opened behind him.

Since the last meeting with Mostima who had returned from Victoria, His Majesty the Pope has never appeared in front of everyone in person.But living in the palace does not mean ignoring world affairs. The Pope naturally has his own mouthpiece, or in other words, the spokesperson of his will.

"Your Highness."

No matter how much irritability and anger there was in his heart, Bishop Raymond had no choice but to turn around at this moment, bow his head and waist humbly, and say hello to everyone.

With an eye-catching burgundy waist-length hair, a calm face that seems to have no emotion, and somehow a thin sense of existence, the saint of Lateran, the godson of the pope, with the legendary big The name of the angel is Miss [Michael] whose Christian name is.

No one knew her real name, nor where she came from, who she was before becoming a saint, what she had experienced, and how she was favored by the Pope.But no one dared to question Miss Michael's authority because of this. During the time when the Pope was behind closed doors, she presided over or attended all the Holy City meetings, large and small, in Lateran.

And they, the cardinals, had already received the order from the Pope. During the time he stayed behind closed doors, everything was based on Miss Michael's judgment.

As the meeting of the cardinals that decides the direction of the Latina incident, it is natural that Ms. Michael will preside over it instead of the Pope.

The heavy and cumbersome robes on her body could not limit Michael's perfect figure in the slightest. She walked up the steps leading to the Pope's position, picked up the golden cross scepter placed on the gilded pillow, and held it in her hand. The triple crown, which is also a symbol of the status of the pope, still remains on the pillow.This means that she is temporarily acting as the Pope's power, but not the Pope himself.

After completing all the procedures of this ceremony, Michael glanced at the members of the Cardinals without any haste, and spit out a heart-stirring soft voice:

"Bishops, the Lord answers more to prayerful prayers than to loud voices."

It means your voice is so loud, I can hear it through the door.

Urbino lowered his head guiltily.

"It's not time for discussion just now, but since you can't wait, we might as well start right now."

Michael said, looking at the protagonists Urbino and Raymond who were arguing just now,

"The two cardinals seem to have different views on Lateran's current policy, can you listen to me?"

"Naturally." "Of course." Raymond and Urbino replied at the same time.

Michael nodded, and continued:

"I agree with Archbishop Urbino's opinion. Lateran is not what it used to be. The decline in our strength is obvious to all. At this time, it is impossible to recover what we have lost just by holding on to the hope to stabilize the basic market. "

"It will be recorded in the annals of the future that it was our generation that ignited the flames of heresy and reform, and that our atrocities destroyed the once beautiful, pious, and just Lateran religious world. I believe that none of you want to be treated as sinners." His name is carved on Satan's gate for all to cast aside, right?"

Bishop Raymond clenched his fists, his teeth chattering.

Of course he doesn't want to.Having experienced the glorious era of Lateran, even Urbino's innocuous yin and yang and accusations would be furious. rise from the coffin?

"However, Your Highness, if Wei Yanwu is given so much help for nothing, what should he do if he fails?"

Raymond expressed his worries.

That's all money.It's all money, the money of ten "Viens". According to the practice of dividing the spoils of the Cardinals, as the proposer of this plan, Urbino said that he can get [-]% of the benefits from it!

That's ten percent, a Wayne!A crown prince of the Victorian Empire deserves so much money from Lateran, and now not only Wei Yanwu has to give ten times, but also Urbino, an annoying newcomer, one.How could Raymond, who hadn't made so much money for most of his life, swallow this breath?

But the meaning of Her Majesty's Holy Maiden is already obvious. She sided with Urbino, so this meaning must be the meaning of His Majesty the Pope.Since it was the intention of His Majesty the Pope, what good would it be for him to say more?

Bishop Raymond sighed helplessly, turned his face away, and refused to look at Urbino's triumphant smile.Seeing Urbino make money was even more painful than seeing him lose money.

But just when he didn't have any hope, the saint suddenly nodded and said:

"You are right, Bishop Raymond."

The smile on Urbino's face suddenly froze.The saint didn't seem to pay attention to his changes at all, and continued:

"I also think that investing a large amount of money rashly is like a desperate gambler. Lateran is weak now, but we are far from the time of life and death. Bishop Urbino's words are a little bit Excessive."

Raymond laughed and asked quickly:

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, money, we can give it. But we need someone to oversee it."

supervision?Isn't that what the liaison officer means?

I am familiar with Urbino. Lateran was the liaison officer for the operation in Victoria. He was replaced by Mostima until he returned to the holy city and officially became a cardinal.

Originally, I thought Her Royal Highness would come up with some new tricks, but I didn't expect this?

Urbino's hanging heart dropped.With his hands behind his back, he nodded very obediently and said:

"Yes, you are right, Your Majesty the Holy Lady."

"The funds are huge, and this person's status must not be low." Michael continued.
