Li Aili said to the leading golden knight, "Ben is one of us."
The golden knights then all sheathed their swords.
Ben said to Ellie, "Mr. Conrad sent us here to protect you."
Ben stepped forward and lowered his voice to Li Aili, saying, "The castle has been rather unsettled these past few days."
Li Aili nodded to indicate that she understood.
She stepped aside to let Bogdard in.
Sixteen golden knights, each holding a sharp sword, stood guard in front of Li Aili's door.
Their eyes were piercing, and anyone with ill intentions who passed by would shudder.
The two knights guarding the gate silently closed the door for them.
Li Aili gestured for Bognard to sit wherever he wanted, then walked to the desk and took out another piece of parchment.
She cut to the chase, "Bognard, do you know the Holy Light Society's 'price list'?"
Bognar tilted his head slightly, "?"
Li Aili explained, “For example, I want to ask the cardinal archbishop to do something for me.”
I know I need to donate to a church first, but how much do I need to donate?
Bogdard: "..."
His expression froze briefly, then he quickly gathered his thoughts and said:
"If you wish to meet the missionaries in the small lecture hall alone, donate 1 gold coin each month."
The local lord would donate 100 gold coins a month in exchange for the individual services provided by the missionary each month.
"For bishops in larger cities, each private meeting costs 15 gold coins, a bottle of holy water costs 35 gold coins, and a Holy Light Heal costs 50 gold coins per session."
In large cities, nobles charged different amounts depending on their rank.
Oh right, the pricing standards for small kingdoms and large empires are different.
For example, you, the Duchess of a small kingdom, receive 2000 gold coins per month.
But the Duchess of the Great Empire receives 20,000 gold coins a month.
Li Aili: "..."
"At the level of a cardinal, the algorithm changes."
Those who accumulate 1 million gold coins in donations to the church will have the opportunity to participate in Holy Communion held by the church at the end of the year.
10 million gold coins will grant you a personal blessing from a cardinal.
If you want to ask a cardinal for help…
Li Aili raised her hand. "Alright, no need to say anything more."
This is a price she can't afford.
Li Aili: "..."
That day, it was the Dark High Priest who gave her his contact information, not the Cardinal.
Well, given the relationship between Cold Jade Territory and the Holy Light Court, it's impossible for them to give it to her.
Undeterred, Li Aili asked, "Do you know anyone in the church?"
Bognar stroked his chin, thinking, "I do know someone from the Papacy..."
Li Aili: "!!!"
"Scripture administrator".
The Holy Light Temple has a great many scriptures.
Only three volumes have been passed down from the God of Light: the Book of Creation, the Book of Praise of Light, and the Book of Last Judgment.
However, each pope would write down his own understanding of the 'divine scrolls' and establish them as scriptures.
Over time, it has become somewhat inconvenient for people to find the scriptures of past popes.
Therefore, the Papal Court needed such a position: 'Scroll Administrator'.
Li Aili's eyes lit up after hearing this.
If a cardinal wants to be promoted, wouldn't he have to study the classics of the ancients every day?
Wouldn't that mean dealing with the Papal Court's scripture administrators every day?
Li Aili immediately said:
"Come on, contact your old friend."
Please ask him to pass on a message to Cardinal Joshua for me.
"Tell him that I have some information about the Dark Church that I would like to tell Cardinal Joshua privately."
Considering how quickly that cardinal was promoted, it's hard to imagine he could resist the temptation of such a rapid career advancement.
Bognar: "…………"
Bognar knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help asking out of curiosity, "What secret?"
Li Aili calmly replied, "That's a good question. I'm thinking about it."
She lowered her eyes and circled a few words with squares on the parchment that was already full.
【bright】
【dark】
Before Bognar left, he saw Ellie staring blankly at the parchment.
...
The Holy See replied faster than Li Aili had anticipated.
At dinner, Bognar brought a reply from the Papacy.
A Holy Knight personally delivered the letter.
Of course, upon arriving in Constantinople, the other side was furious.
The result was a fight with the humanoid emerald dragon.
Then, forced to calm down, I understood the cause and effect.
I don't know how Bognar explained it.
I have no idea how this paladin came up with this idea.
Anyway, when Li Aili received Joshua's handwritten letter, the bruised and battered Holy Knight of Light looked at her with a gaze that was like...
Let's look at another lamb who has suddenly repented and turned over a new leaf.
This made Li Aili silently look away.
Li Aili took the letter opener that Conrad handed her.
Even when handing over a letter opener, the old steward kept a wary eye on the Holy Knight.
Unfold the messenger's elegant cursive handwriting:
Let's meet in a relatively neutral place to discuss this.
Li Aili raised her eyebrows slightly.
Without any beginning or end, it's clear that His Excellency the Cardinal Archbishop is acting with great caution.
Li Aili took out the note the Dark High Priest had given her and, under Conrad's silent gaze, wrote down the coordinates of the Dark Church's stronghold in her reply.
Then, the time was written down.
