Chapter 028 The new bishop is here
Andre just fainted due to loss of strength, and the fainting was not deep.
When Matthew flew over and reached out to help him, he had already woken up from his brief dizziness.
Seeing Matthew reaching out to grab his shoulder, Andre's expression changed.
He subconsciously swung his sword to slash Matthew's wrist.
Matthew was startled and took three steps back.If it weren't for his sharp eyesight and quick hands, this hand wouldn't have been saved!
His face looked a little ugly.This is just a discussion, why don't you be so cruel?
Andre also realized that something was wrong. He just subconsciously wanted to cut off Matthew's hand that touched him.
Seeing Matthew's suppressed anger, he quickly stood up and apologized to Matthew: "Yes, I'm sorry. I don't like being touched by men. Well, what should I say, I don't like men!"
Matthew said angrily: "I don't like men either! But I won't cut off other people's hands casually. I have to prepare for the celebration in the past two days and the competition is suspended."
"Ah? Don't be like this. I still have new insights that I want to verify with you." Matthew's words made him feel very disappointed.
"If you want to compare notes, wait until the celebration is over!" Matthew said softly.Playing against Andre can also improve his ability to deal with melee professions, which is a win-win situation.
I don’t know what kind of stimulation this guy Andre received, or he heard some strange rumors, and actually thought that he was interested in men?
Nonsence!There are so many cute girls around him, why should he be interested in men?
He originally planned to scold him a few more times, but seeing Andre's uneasy look, it was really hard for him to stay angry.
Matthew is very cruel to his enemies, but very tolerant to those around him.
Forget it, it wasn't intentional, and it didn't hit him. Even if it was really cut off, Diana could help pick it back up with divine healing.
That's almost it. It scares the young master.
Just as he was comforting Andre, the housekeeper hurried over and handed Matthew a letter.
"Sir, the Holy See's team stopped at the border of the territory, and their envoy sent a letter."
Matthew raised his eyebrows and suppressed a smile.
Sure enough, it would be impolite not to knock. These guys finally know to knock before entering and to say hello to the owner when leaving?
If Archbishop Cochon had shown any courtesy before, Matthew might not have driven him away.
Cochon's nostrils were turned upward and he couldn't position himself correctly. He treated Matthew as a servant who could come and go at a moment's notice. Of course Matthew would not accept it.
Andre saw that Matthew had to deal with business, so he obediently found an excuse to leave.
Matthew admired his intelligence.As expected of someone who came from a business group, he is very good at observing people's emotions.
I just don’t know why he was a little nervous just now.
Forget it, maybe someone really spread the rumor that he is a man for both men and women.These are all rumors spread by bastards with only one page in their household register!
Not to mention that it is eaten by both men and women, he has never eaten it at all!
I haven't eaten the maid next to me for three years, just because I'm underage.Such an honest and good comrade was spread like this by you bastards?
Don't let me know who did it, or you'll have some juice.
Matthew opened the letter angrily and scanned it.
This is a strange letter.
The letter began by informing Matthew of the purpose of their visit, indicating that the Holy See was undergoing a normal personnel change.
The previous Bishop Cochon was absent from the post for a long time for some reason and was unable to do his job. He has been transferred back and is now replaced by Bishop Klein.
Then Bishop Klein greeted Matthew and asked if the lease of the cathedral could be renewed.
Seeing this, Matthew's smile froze.
The guy who wrote this letter is really difficult to deal with.
Archbishop Cochon decided that he would never come back, and every arrogant words he said before leaving turned into a joke.It was like a fully-charged cock hitting the Holy See hard on the face.
Matthew knew that these Holy Sees were definitely coming, so he tried to find a way to replace them with bishops that were acceptable to both parties.
Bishop Klein is upright and upright, even more upright and selfless than Diana, the Just One.
In Matthew's imagination, this guy should be a clergy version of Hai Rui, but he didn't expect him to be so sophisticated.
The Holy See did not recognize that they had withdrawn from the Earldom of Lundebel at all.
The reason why no one has been here for three years is entirely Archbishop Cochon's own fault.
Replacing him was entirely a matter of work necessity.
Therefore, the Holy See did not leave at all, but there was a delay in the handover.
If you insist on explaining it this way, it seems that you really can't fault it.
There is no need to inform the local lords when there is a change in the Holy See.The emperor and the nobles share secular power, and the Holy See controls the power in the field of religious thought. This is the agreement after the elimination of Rodrigo.
Although the Holy See was trying to provide a fig leaf for itself, it was indeed a good fig leaf, and Matthew couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Matthew put away the letter, disdainful of the Holy See's petty tactics.
Although the Holy See uses this method to forcefully preserve its face, the common people are not blind, so how can they still not see who has gained two circles of fat on his face?
Matthew immediately made the decision to allow Bishop Klein to enter and the lease of the cathedral could be renewed.
Klein is the bishop he invited, and of course he cannot turn a blind eye to the performance that should be coordinated.
Matthew did not greet him at the border of the territory, nor did he ask the bishop to meet him. Instead, he compromised and met Klein at the gate of Rundebell.
Meeting Matthew at the border of the territory means that Matthew is at a disadvantage; meeting him inside the castle means that the Holy See is at a disadvantage.
Matthew had no choice either way.
Choosing to meet outside the city gate represented his attitude.
He welcomed the Holy See as an equal.
Strictly speaking, if Bishop Klein does not represent the Holy See, he is not qualified to talk to Matthew on an equal footing.
Bishop Klein was very sensible. He dismounted before Matthew and strode towards Matthew.
His posture was so low that Matthew was too embarrassed to hold it any longer, so he got off his horse and walked towards Bishop Klein.
Seeing Bishop Klein, Matthew could hardly believe his eyes.
In the picture he imagined, Bishop Klein might be a very bookish guy, or he might be a dull guy, but he didn't expect that this guy was two meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a pair of eyes as wide as bells.
It would be quite reasonable for such a person to appear in the Holy See's Inquisition or the Protectorate Knights, but he was actually a bishop, which was somewhat unexpected to Matthew.
It's very stupid to judge a book by its appearance. Matthew accepted this setting with only a slight shock.
Lu Bu also served as chief registrar. What's wrong with a two-meter-strong man becoming a bishop?
If you think about it carefully, the earliest Holy See always encountered various enemies in the process of preaching. The clergy were all part-time combatants, so they were all powerful, and there were many who were tougher than Klein.
Bishop Klein has returned to tradition.
Matthew and Klein entered the city side by side and soon arrived in front of the Great Cathedral.
Klein stopped and asked calmly, pointing to the vehicles pulling food in and out and the cathedral that had been transformed into a food warehouse:
"Your Majesty Earl, is this the former Great Cathedral?"
"Yes." Matthew looked at Klein with interest and nodded.
He must understand Klein's character as soon as possible so that both parties can have a basis for cooperation.Diana only knew the basic situation about him, and she didn't know the specific details. He had to observe it himself.
After a few seconds, Klein suddenly burst into hearty laughter and said loudly:
"The purpose of the Holy See is to serve the Lord of Holy Light and spread the Lord's glory to the world."
"It is our honor that the former cathedral has become the current grain warehouse."
Klein turned back and bowed to Matthew, and said solemnly: "Sir Matthew, we are no longer renting this cathedral. Please allocate a piece of wasteland to us. I plan to build a new cathedral."
Matthew looked at Klein in surprise.
He suddenly felt that he might have invited the wrong person.
Diana, you tricked me!
Then who, where is Mr. Cochon, or let’s talk about it later?
Compared to Archbishop Cauchon, who is ambitious, talented, and moody, Klein has a profound knowledge of the city and has his own worldview, which is almost unaffected by the outside world.
Such a guy is really much harder to deal with than Cochon.
If inviting Cochon back would not give the Holy See too much of a face advantage, Matthew really wouldn't mind supporting a loser like Cochon as a cover.
Forget it, if you invite the wrong person, just ask the wrong person. Everyone is here, can't they be driven away?
After all, this is the candidate that Diana strongly recommends, even if it gives her face, she will accept it.
If it's not easy to get along with, don't get along.Let's all go our separate ways and not interfere with each other.
Faced with Bishop Klein's request, Matthew readily agreed. He let Klein choose the location to build the new church, which would be three times the size of the old church.
After all, it is the new church after the miracle, so it is reasonable to have a larger scale.
He then extended an invitation to the bishop to attend the celebration tomorrow at noon.
Since this celebration is nominally to celebrate the coming of a miracle, Bishop Klein certainly has no reason to refuse.
He readily agreed to the invitation.
Matthew prepared accommodation for the papal procession in the city, but Klein refused.
He said seriously: "According to the tradition of our Holy See, if there are no religious facilities in the city, we will camp outside the city."
Okay, since he insists so much, it’s not easy for Matthew to insist.
After settling in Klein (referring to drawing a clearing outside the city), the busy day was finally over.
Lying on the bed, Matthew silently prayed that nothing would happen to tomorrow's celebration.
He was really tired.
Let's have a simple and lively time together, why not have a meal?
Chapter 029 Chicken soup or soup?
More and more people from all walks of life are coming to Lundebel these days.
Some came to inquire about information, some came to do business, some came to win over Matthew, and some wanted to get inspiration for breakthroughs from the coming of miracles.
In short, fish and dragons are mixed.
Matthew couldn't even count how many spies, assassins, and people with malicious intentions had sneaked in here.
His attitude is very simple, just strengthen monitoring.
There is no need to arrest people as long as they do things without knowing what they are doing.
Matthew hopes to turn Rundebell into a new business hub.Only stable law and order and a good business environment can allow business to flow.
With all kinds of thoughts, Matthew fell into a drowsy sleep.
In his sleep, he dreamed that after several years of struggle, he finally reached the pinnacle of life. Not only did he become the emperor, he also became the patron of the goddess.
He cleared his name.
Even though he really was the Demon King, no one dared point it out.
Not only that, he also married many wives.
There is the heroic Diana, the cute maids, and even Shirley, who has always had a bad relationship with him.
Just when Matthew held a banquet proudly, Shirley's love chicken soup was served.
Matthew happily picked up the chicken soup and drank it, then his expression suddenly changed.
There is poison in the soup!
Unfortunately, Matthew woke up too late.
There is magic mithril powder in the soup. This kind of thing itself is not very toxic, but with the help of two other auxiliary medicinal materials, it can instantly detonate the magic power in the body of the user.
Matthew's ocean-like magical power became the culprit that killed him.
