Chapter 892
When the black hair wizard filled with emotion left the Bain cathedral, the sky was already dark.
Looking at the bustling crowd around the church...Don’t wait until the 2nd day, when the Duke of Byrne returns from his mission, the news of the first visit to the Byrne cathedral will spread throughout the Scarlet Blood Fort, and then to the entire Byrne.
As the teacher Dalton said, he is no longer the one he was three years ago; the Lord of Byrne who controls the south is eye-catching in every move.
My visit to the cathedral will become a strong signal, which will make Byrne’s nobles and subjects believe that the Duke of Byrne is on the side of the bishop and supports his "new reform" plan. of.
Loren certainly knows this.
So he must be the first to express his stance and make this a fait accompli, just like what the little priest did before—it’s him who took the initiative to stand up and support the church, not the church who convinced himself and approved it. The reform plan of the little priest.
The difference between active and passive is the difference between who has the dominant power and who is more powerful.
So no matter whether the Byrne Church wants it or not, they owe themselves a favor; even if the little priest Weber wants to keep the church "pure and independent", he has to accept that the church is formally managed by the round table council. The fact that the level is lower than one's own.
Yes, this approach is exactly the same as when Eckhart II deliberately brought the conflict between the church and the wizards to the imperial trial when he was at Imperial Capital, and he personally arbitrated...
p>Human, sure enough, he still has to be the most annoying appearance.
With a sigh of emotion again, the black hair wizard returned to the palace surrounded by the accompanying guard Knight; before entering the main entrance, a slender silhouette had already stood in front of him.
"You're back late, again."
Put your chest tall, Charlotte coldly said: "We've made an appointment to meet before the evening, and then talk about you at dinner Regarding the issue of government affairs during the departure period-this is a very formal transfer of power. I don’t think it’s too rude to be late and let a woman wait, my lord duke?"
"Sorry , But it takes a lot of time to persuade our bishop master." Loren had a pleased smile: "You know, it’s not easier to persuade a pious Holy Cross believer than to persuade a stubborn girl."
"Then... Our respectable female count, have you taken care of some disobedient servant and made him a little more honest?"
Facing the black hair wizard with With a slightly mocking tone, the female count indifferent expression coldly snorted, raised her head.
"At the latest tomorrow afternoon, the price of the Scarlet Blood Castle will return to normal and stable. It is announced to the outside that it is the result of your personal interview with the Lord Duke and detailed consultations with the merchants; the crisis is resolved, but I won a lot of people’s hearts for the Torino family."
"As expected, it is our dignified Scarlet Blood Castle female count, she is indeed a descendant of the Torino family!" Loren grinned and showed two neat rows of white teeth. Thumbs up:
"I know that guys like Jr. Yod are definitely not your opponent; as long as you come out in person, you can do it in a few words..."
!
The answer to him was Charlotte, who turned his head and left, with the long hair drawn "violently" on his face; it left him with a fragrance on his face and the back of his hurried departure.
Only the black hair wizard with an awkward smile stood there stiffly.
"Please allow me to express my sympathy for your experience, Your Excellency." The palace chief Charles, who was standing by the side, turned around with his hands on his back and a smile:
"But you must also understand-female count has just won a beautiful victory, and she continues to get your encouragement and recognition; but you are not only late, but you also use that tone full of...friends ridicule, so..."
"So I just deserve it, right?" black hair wizard rolled the eyes.
Charles made a desperate smile, lowered his head, only his shoulders were still shaking.
"Please come with me, Lord Duke...You are already late to meet you, don’t you want to be late even for dinner, do you?" The palace general stepped aside and extended his hand to welcome: "According to count’s arrangement, this is only one time A simple family dinner-but even so, when it comes to the master Duchy and important members of his family, there must be a form."
"So if you like, we can go and go. Please explain all the procedures and steps in the dinner party; of course, if you don’t want me, I also said... Count told me that you might not like to listen."
Loren’s helpless nodded and held it back. The urge to roll his eyes a second time.
So since I have no choice, why would you explain it to me?
This is probably the most unacceptable place for him...No matter what kind of event, Charlotte always likes to be very formal and very ceremony; it can be as small as a simple banquet, as large as a thirteenth party. The round table council that leads the count is likely to be equally important in her eyes.
After several years of getting along, Loren probably understands her reasons, but it does not mean that he is willing to suffer.
"This morning's meeting..." Interrupted Charles, Loren quickly changed the subject: "Your excellency, a financial officer, must be having a hard time, right?"
"Of course not." The palace manager shook his head decisively, but then he smiled nodded: "Count entertained him in the palace garden with great enthusiasm, and gave him the calmest and most tactful tone. Explains the consequences of not cooperating with yourself."
In a calm and tactful tone...Loren raised his eyebrows.
Intimidation? Intimidation? Threatened by fate? Isn't it unpredictable?
"In short, the distinguished treasurer soon realized that if he does not make a certain compromise as soon as possible, Duchy will hand over the title of treasurer to Gareth count of Rainbow Bridge. The division of Chamber of Commerce will be united." Charles said softly, with a hint of admiration in his tone: "For Byrne three years later, the united Chamber of Commerce is no longer necessary. However, the joint Chamber of Commerce must be attached to Duchy; otherwise the roads, minerals and shops they control will soon become the fat in the eyes of the rest of Chamber of Commerce."
"Uh...I remember Duchy I owe a lot of money to the Union Chamber of Commerce, and it seems difficult to pay it back?" Loren couldn't help but opened the mouth and said.
"For this reason, the Joint Chamber of Commerce must not leave Duchy; otherwise, all debts will not be honored, and Duchy's financial concessions and support will be lost, and they will soon face the dilemma of collapse and complete destruction. "
Charles lightly nodded: "Count tells me that this is still the'shameless trick' she learned from you-the person who borrows the money is the grandson, and the one who owes the money is the lord-the Duke of yours I just repeat the original words."
"..."Loren Torino.
"The count is very clear. The Joint Chamber of Commerce is an important tool for the Duke to control the various territories of the thirteen territories; there are only small appointments for those who can balance the round table council and firmly hold the financial power of Duchy. German one."
Charles' eyes flickered and he opened the mouth and said meaningfully: "And that's why count was helpless to him before. It's also the reason why you can easily play with him after you come back. The reason for this."
"until now, count always puts its own status under you, and would rather endure grievances but also take into account your prestige first-even if Jade is just a businessman, even if he It’s just the financial officer with the lowest status;
But as long as it is yours, count will surely win your tacit approval before using its own wrist—count’s feelings towards you are not just 'Loyalty' can be described."
"What do you mean?" Loren raised his eyebrows.
"It means literally." Charles humbled his bow and saluted: "I'm just your humble palace chief, execute your orders, expound my views-judgment is your authority."
p>black hair wizard laughed: "Really?"
"The banquet has been prepared. You will clean up in two quarters of an hour and prepare to be seated." Charles did not answer his question. Very abruptly opened the mouth and said:
"We have prepared the dresses and accessories for your attendance. You have five minutes to take a bath, and 3 minutes to clean up and take care of your appearance. One minute to choose clothes-do you have any other questions?"
"Just one, can I ignore all of these?"
"No, because you are Lord Byrne." He bowed humbly, and the palace chief turned and left.
Throw down Loren again, standing alone outside the main hall door.
"My lord, has a conflict with Charlotte count again?"
A slightly witty voice came, causing the black hair wizard to subconsciously turn his head and look It's kind of weird.
"Carl Colin, I always thought you were a very serious guy. Didn't expect you to be such a Fiend hunter."
Being "Tucao" hunting Fiend He chuckled slightly, and was very indifferent: "No way, Lucien is too serious in Captain normally; if our subordinates can't look a little bit more, it's easy to suffocate ourselves."
Carl Colin-Root Infinite, the night watchman placed in Byrne; he was successfully "instigated" when Loren formed the Fiend Legion, and became a well-known "double agent" on both sides ".
On the one hand, he collects Byrne and information about hunting Fiend and Loren for the Sky Palace; on the other hand, he also delivers the latest news from the Sky Palace to Loren, and at the same time, he works for the hunting Fiend Legion. .
Because of this relationship, in the past three years Lu Sien has always restricted Carl Colin’s actions, and often handed over tasks that were nearly death to him to complete, until the battle of Cloud Peak only slightly started. Trust this "Stinking Insect" running dog.
"Lu Sien Captain just came back, there are a lot of things in Legion to deal with, so tonight it is my turn to complete the task, the'Stinking Insect' who returned from Imperial Capital Golovin has taken up the post "
With a little ridicule and self-deprecating tone, Carl Colin explained: "Of course, it's only one night today-our Master Captain, don't dare to trust this important job Give it to others."
"Everyone knows that Captain, as long as he is not by your side, is'extraordinarily' upset, almost as if he has lost his soul."
"Then...you What kind of intelligence did the'Stinking Insect' who just returned from Imperial Capital brought back?"
Ignoring the other party's ridicule, Loren asked indifferently with his mouth turned.
Karl Colin gradually put away his smile.
"After hearing the news of your successful mission, the nobles of Imperial Capital all cheering excitedly and praising you for being an imperial loyal minister, Torino bloodline." Hunting Fiend calmly opened the mouth and said: "But so It’s better not to believe it."
"As far as I know, more than one imperial nobleman has written to the cabinet of the Vault of Heaven. In the name of your successful mission, you deserve to be rewarded.' Invite you to go to Imperial Capital; the real purpose is to put you under house arrest in Imperial Capital to control and threaten Byrne Duchy."
"oh?" Loren raised his eyebrows: "Then the Emperor himself What’s your attitude?"
"I’m just a Fiend hunter, and I can’t spy on the court’s internal affairs." Karl Colin shrugged: "I only know that the Justice and the Imperial Family wizard adviser are all opposed This plan thinks that you, as the Lord of Byrne, must sit in the south to truly maintain the stability of the empire."
Oh?
Loren's expression is a bit surprised.
Imperial Family wizard consultant Albert Master supports him, not surprisingly, but Justice Victor...he wants to eat himself alive, right?
In his eyes, the duty of maintaining the stability of the empire and the law and justice far exceeds his own hatred-it is possible, if so, it is really thankful.
So the most important thing is the attitude of Eckhardt II...
"Loren ·Torino——!"
Summer sounded behind the door Lott roared angrily, and the two guys who were talking and laughing were shocked in an instant!
"When will you wait until, my lord Duke——?!"
The voice fell, and Karl Ke stood in great numbers on one side without the slightest hesitation. Turning around, holding his neck high, standing still motionless as if pretending to be a sculpture, madly hinting to Loren with his eyes.
Count is anxious, what are you still hesitating?
Loren rolled his eyes back.
took a deep breath, the black hair wizard with "no retreat" stepped up the stairs, generously and bravely, and strode like going to the execution ground.
Leave only Karl Colin and another fellow newcomer hunting Fiend.
"Master Duke, what's wrong with...?" The newcomer with an ignorant expression, or an unfathomable mystery: "What happened? Isn't it just a dinner? Why is it so fanciful?"
"I ask you..." Looking at the newcomer who hadn't reacted yet, Karl Colin sighed then said: "You joined Legion, the skywing, what is the purpose of allegiance to the Duke?"
"I..."
"I want to glorify the family, get the title, go to the peak of life, one day be able to stand beside the duke and become his most trusted confidant, am I right?"
"Uh...this, of course if it is possible..."
"I also hope to please count. I don’t know which day I can hook up with a noble lady. Marry your favorite girl, right?"
"This, of course, is only one aspect..."
"Then listen to my advice, rookie." Carl Colin I also rolled the eyes and said in the tone of "coming man":
"As long as you can pass tonight in peace, don't make any movement, pretend not to hear anything, say If not, everything will be there!"
