"Matthew, don't be too arrogant! Look clearly, the person in front of you is the Cardinal Archbishop of the [Holy Vatican] and one of the future pope candidates, Archbishop Cochon. Please pay attention to your identity!"
It was okay not to mention his identity. Matthew smiled when he mentioned his identity. He said with a bit of ridicule:
"Really? Then do you know who is standing in front of you?"
Matthew shouted quickly as if he was announcing the name of a dish: "The person standing in front of you is Earl Lundebel, one of the electors of the Clare Empire, a candidate for the future emperor, and the human spokesperson chosen by the Lord of Holy Light."
"Who do you think you are, and you dare to compare your status with me?"
Matthew's words were very rude and made the white-clothed priest so angry that he became speechless.
Matthew was right. If it were truer, he was indeed the elector, and there was a one-seventh chance of being the next emperor before the election.
The status of an elector is different from that of ordinary nobles. Even if Matthew is just a count with less than 30 people under his command, most dukes have to be polite when meeting him.
That's all, Matthew has a more terrifying identity, that is, the chosen son of God.
Although the Holy See does not want to admit this fact, Matthew's identity will not change.
Archbishop Cauchon knew that Matthew was here to cause trouble tonight, and he also knew that he was in trouble tonight.
Do it directly?Don't be ridiculous, attack the lord in the territory, even if the Pope comes, he will not protect him.
We are all decent people, so we must abide by the rules of the game.Those who do not abide by the rules of the game will be kicked out by all forces.
Matthew pried open his big mouth and stuffed an old turtle inside.
However, Cochon had to eat it, and he even had to say that the turtle was delicious.
Archbishop Cochon accepted Matthew's gift graciously.
千"?寻.".小;.".说!;;资?源:.'群'2'5":?'5!?!5''9:"".5""3,,":0'0 他向身后的另一名白衣牧师嘱咐道:
"Raistlin, record what happened today when you go back. On April 1203, 4 of the Holy Calendar, Matthew, Earl of Rundebel, the elector of the Clare Empire, presented a farewell gift to Cardinal Cochon on behalf of the people of the territory."
Matthew: "..."
He never expected that Cochon could endure this humiliation and rebel so calmly.
This guy's city is too deep.
Like Cochon, Mathieu had no intention of making the first move.
Today he dares to challenge the rules of the game, and tomorrow the Vatican's tribunal will come.
The reason why he caught up was not that he was too idle, he was just here to have fun.
As long as Cochon dares to take action, he will immediately fight back to eliminate this scourge.
Okay, the old fox’s city is too deep.
The eyes of the two met in the air.
They were smiling, but their eyes wanted to eat each other alive.
The provocation failed, and Matthew didn't care. He enthusiastically sent Cochon to the edge of the territory.
When they parted, the two were still reluctant to say goodbye, and the scene was quite touching.
If any unfamiliar passerby saw this scene, they would probably think that Matthew was reluctant to leave Cauchon.
Chapter 021 Surante’s Awakening
After sending the old fox away, Matthew still has many problems to face.
Such as Deanna and Shirley's doubts.
The two of them had already absorbed the holy water. As long as Matthew needed it, they could go out and mediate, but Matthew asked to hide aside and watch the show.
In their view, Matthew had no sincerity in reconciliation at all.
Matthew had just returned to the castle, and before he had time to wash and change clothes, two girls found him.
In the small study, under a magic lamp, the expressionless lord was facing two cute girls full of doubts.
After a while, Shirley was not as patient as Matthew and asked first:
"Matthew, what are you thinking? Why should you miss such a good opportunity for reconciliation? Forget it if you miss the opportunity, you also deliberately angered Archbishop Cauchon. Why?"
Diana didn't speak, but her eyes were full of doubts.
Her meaning was similar to that of Shirley, and she couldn't figure out the purpose of Matthew's operation.
Judging from what Matthew has done in the past, he is not the kind of person who acts on impulse. What happened today?Is it really just to vent the bad anger from three years ago?
Matthew calmly poured tea for the two girls, pushed the tea cup in front of them, with a playful smile on his lips: "Do you think Archbishop Cochon is here to reconcile?"
Deanna and Shirley looked at each other without saying a word.
They knew Cauchon. This guy was notoriously narrow-minded within the Holy See and would retaliate for his anger.
Matthew offended him three years ago, and now that this guy has been promoted to Cardinal, it is strange that he can let Matthew go.
If Matthew wanted to reconcile with him, it would be difficult to kneel down and beg for mercy without spilling some blood.
Diana sighed softly, with a little helplessness in her eyes, and her voice was much softer than usual.
"Matthew, I know you don't want to suffer this kind of injustice. But if you don't reconcile with the Holy See, you won't be able to restore your membership. You won't even be eligible to participate in the emperor's election three years later."
"If it's for a higher goal, why aren't you willing to endure it temporarily? Besides, with Shirley and I mediating, it may not be possible to resolve the matter peacefully."
"Although you are participating in the election of the emperor...in short, religious affiliation is very important."
Diana immediately interrupted herself mid-sentence.
She was always outspoken and almost said the words "no chance", but luckily she stopped herself.
According to convention, even if Matthew participated in the emperor's election, he would be a foil.The whole country knows about this, but it would be rude to say it in front of me.
"Are you trying to say that I have no chance of participating in the election?"
Matthew took over the topic with a smile, then suppressed his smile and said meaningfully: "Of course Earl Lundebel has no chance, but what if you add the identity of the chosen son of God?"
"The chosen son of God does have a chance, but what about your religious membership? Without religious membership, you are not even qualified to stand for election!"
Shirley is not as gentle as Diana. She speaks bluntly and is the kind of guy who stabs her heart with a dagger.
Matthew spread his hands and looked at the two girls: "I have to leave it to you."
"Please?"
Deanna and Shirley looked at each other, not understanding what Matthew was talking about.
Although the religious group they belong to is also a branch of the [Holy Holy See], revoking and restoring religious membership is the core power of the Holy See and has never been delegated.They had no power to reinstate Matthew.
Diana was a little embarrassed, "I may not be able to help you with this."
Matthew's expression suddenly became serious, "No, you can definitely help me. It depends on whether you are willing."
"Tell me what you need me to do."
"It's very simple. Write a letter to the grand master and ask him to meet with the pope and send a suitable bishop."
Diana suddenly understood, but then fell into trouble, "You are trying to find a bishop who is willing to be close to you and obedient. But no one in the Holy See likes you."
Uh, am I so annoying?Matthew was speechless.
It makes sense when you think about it carefully. He bears the stigma of being a heartless demon, so it's strange that people from the Holy See are willing to get close to him.
Fortunately, that's not the kind of person he wants.
"Diana, you also have a position in the Holy See."
"Of course, but I hold a military position, not a bishop."
"There should be bishops similar to you in the Holy See." Matthew reminded.
Diana suddenly realized that although there were no bishops willing to get close to Matthew, the Holy See did not lack honest and fair bishops.
This kind of bishop is usually a passionate young man who joins the Holy See with the vision of saving the world and serving the Holy Light.
Then they were sent to various ungrateful ravines because they didn't know how to please their superiors.
Because these places have a sparse population, they will definitely have the fewest believers during the annual assessment, and their performance will naturally be the worst.
Since your performance is the worst, don't blame your superiors for not promoting you.
Even if you appeal to the Lord of Holy Light, you can't say that the Holy See did something wrong.
In this way, within the framework of the rules, bad money drives out good money completely legally.
This is the current employment situation of the Holy See.
If you don’t run or send it away, stay where you are; if you run and send it away, you can reuse it quickly.
Unless these suppressed young people are as strong as Diana, and become strong men who are likely to break through to the super level, they will be favored by the Holy See.
Although there are many corrupt people at the top of the Holy See, the Holy See also needs people to do serious things.
For example, Diana, although her behavior is incompatible with the senior leaders of the Vatican, the senior leaders are willing to use her.
If everyone lies flat, can this organization be better?
The organization needs old scalpers like Diana to come out and do the work.
Matthew's meaning is very clear. Is there a big wronged person like Diana? Bah, such a good person, give us Lundbell a dozen.
Although Diana had a vague feeling that Matthew's plot was not that simple, she didn't care.
After thinking for a moment, she gave her answer.
"Bishop Klein Huron. He serves in the border diocese of the Kingdom of Endor. He has worked in a difficult and remote area for three years. It is reasonable that he could be promoted, but because he has no backing and no money to build connections, he has been shelved."
Diana briefly introduced the basic situation of this person.
Matthew was delighted.
Bishop Klein is a treasure.Apart from not being able to flatter his superiors, flatter others, and amass money, this guy has no shortcomings.
If your Holy See doesn’t want such talents, you can send them all over.
Matthew slammed the table hard and said loudly: "Okay, it's him!"
Deanna felt a little better when she saw that Matthew was so supportive of the candidate she recommended.
Klein is indeed a talent, but it is a pity that he has never been reused. It would be a good thing if he could turn around with Matthew.
The task of writing this letter was given to Diana.
She should be very familiar with how to choose words.
In Matthew's opinion, Diana would probably use both soft and hard tactics, move with emotion, reason with reason, and carefully analyze the interests and interests to impress the higher-ups of the Holy See.
He was a little curious about what Diana would write in this letter.
Faced with Matthew's doubts, Diana said calmly: "When I write this letter, I only have one sentence: Please appoint Bishop Klein Huron to Rundebell Diocese."
There are no reasons, no explanations, just conclusions.
As expected of you, Diana.
This is the way of writing that best suits Diana's style.
Does she need to explain anything to anyone?She is only responsible for making suggestions, and whether she accepts them or not is up to the headquarters itself.
After the discussion was completed and the two girls were sent away, Matthew's anxious heart finally relaxed.
He suddenly remembered that Surante was still in the state of [Epiphany] and hurried to the library on the top floor.
Through the crack in the door, you can see Surante still sitting there, with a calm expression, but his eyes are lifeless.
She was still thinking.
Well, we can't disturb her at this critical moment. I hope she can break through through epiphany.
Return to the bedroom.After washing, changing clothes, putting on soft cotton pajamas, and half lying on the bed, Matthew carefully thought about what had happened recently.
His biggest confusion was why the Lord of Holy Light would bring miracles to his territory.
If you don't understand this, it will be difficult to make the right decision.
Matthew came to the table, took out a pen and paper, and started to deduce.
Miracles don't just happen.
There are a total of 300 years of written human history in this plane, and miracles have only occurred five times.
