In the study.
Luo Yi sat behind the desk, his body stretched out, his whole body leaning against the back of the chair, his head slightly tilted forward, staring at the person in front of him.
In front of him, Lord Regan bent his body slightly, appearing very respectful, but his expression was a little nervous and his lips were tightly pursed.
After he finished reporting the news, he stood there in silence.
Behind Luo Yi, Oliveira, who was originally sitting on the sofa, had already stood up, his expression showing a bit of seriousness.
A few minutes later, Luo Yi threw away the information in his hand and finally asked, "Father Virgil Berry, Bishop of the Flower Territory of the Church of the Sun God.
Tell me, what kind of person is this?"
Regan hesitated for only a few seconds before saying, "He's hypocritical and greedy."
"How do you say that?"
“He was always kind to the freedmen. The church would distribute food every once in a while, and his sermons attracted many people to listen.
However, he has an unusual addiction to gold.
Just like the legendary dragon, he likes to convert all the tithes collected every year into gold and pile it in his room! "
"Even if this gold remains in his hands for only a few days, it will have to be handed over to a higher-level diocese!"
"However, it is said that he has a secret room that is built entirely of gold. The floor is paved with gold, the walls are piled with gold, and the roof is also made of gold.
Even the desk, bed, chair, and toilet in this secret room are all made of gold."
"Golden House!"
Luo Yi was a little stunned: "Is what you said true?"
Regan gave a bitter laugh. "It's just a rumor, a rumor known to the entire upper echelons of Flower Territory. Whether it's true or not, only he knows."
"Then why has he been away from his parish for so long?"
"I heard he went back to report on his work. I don't know much about the details of the church's internal affairs."
"When did he leave?"
Regan pondered: "At least half a year, right?"
"Half a year? That long?"
Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Does it take so long for him to report on his work every time?"
"Of course not! In previous years, it was only half a month at most!"
This time it was Oliveira who spoke. Loy turned his head slightly and looked at him. He didn't say anything, but their eyes had already communicated.
Looking back, Luo Yi looked at Ruigen and asked again: "I'm curious, why did he contact you first when he came back?"
Lord Regan pursed his lips and said, "Earl Carl and this person have discussed before. In order to maintain the stability of the territory, the Raymond family will collect the tithe on behalf of the family.
In other words, when the Raymond family collects taxes, they will collect all the taxes at once.
Then it will be divided into two parts, one part will belong to the family, and the other part will be sent to the Church of the Sun God."
"I was in charge of the finances, and I was basically the one who handled all the connections, so I had the most contact with the regional bishop.
This time, after he returned from his work report, he sent someone to contact me directly."
Luo Yi nodded slightly, acknowledging his words, and asked, "Where is he now?"
"According to the messenger, the bishop will preach in the villages and towns along the way, so it will take a long time.
I estimate it will take some time to return to the temple in Brussels."
"So, he rushed back just in time for the harvest, just to avoid missing out on the tithe?"
"That's what it should be."
"Hypocritical and greedy! Regan, your assessment is incredibly accurate."
Luo Yi said: "Since he has found you, you should take over.
I just hope this one won’t cause me too much trouble.”
Having said that, Roy waved his hand and let Regan leave first.
Lord Regan backed out of the room and closed the door behind him, then he relaxed completely, his shoulders slumping.
However, his expression was ever-changing, sometimes weak, sometimes angry, sometimes helpless, sometimes painful...
However, all this did not last long, and everything returned to normal. He straightened his body again and stepped out of the manor.
In the study, Luo Yi sat behind the desk, squinting his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
At this time, Oliveira came over from behind and said, "Master, don't you think this Virgil Berry is suspicious?"
Luo Yi raised his head and sneered, "Then it's not suspicious, but he must know something.
He left before the Raymond family incident, and his work report lasted for half a year. When he came back, everything was settled."
"He perfectly avoided everything. If you say he didn't know, I'd never believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"Since you're involved in this, you still dare to come back. You really have nothing to fear!"
Oliveira took another step forward and said, "How about we just take action and capture him and see if we can get some useful information out of him?"
"As long as we do it cleanly and neatly, no one will suspect us!"
Luo Yi nodded, really thinking seriously about the feasibility.
But after a while, he shook his head again: "I'm afraid it won't work. The attack and disappearance of a bishop will definitely attract the attention of the Church of the Sun God.
By then, I’m afraid the situation will be out of control.”
"If possible, I'd like to wait until the magic machinery is fully deployed, the Flower Territory truly completes its transformation, and its strength is significantly improved before I touch this bomb!"
Oliveira was a little unwilling, but still nodded: "Then wait, wait a moment!"
"I just hope this one doesn't go too far!"
"If it really is too much, we'll have to find a way to make him disappear."
Luo Yi's voice was barely audible in his last words.
But he really didn't want to go that far.
Theocracy belongs to the sun god, and royal power belongs to the royal family. This is not just talk.
Even in the Habusid Empire, the authority and influence of the Church of the Sun God were not completely eliminated.
Even so, when the Church of the Seven Gods has completely gained the upper hand, it still has a place.
Outside the Habsburg Empire, humans have no other choice of faith; the Lord of Light is the only one.
The result is that many fanatics are brainless and can cause huge chaos with just a little incitement.
To be honest, apart from the Habsburg Empire, Roy really doesn't want to provoke the Sun God Cult.
It’s a pity that the Sun God may not have much desire for worldly power, but the priests and sheepdogs under his command are not like that!
Therefore, it is not uncommon for theocracy to interfere in secular affairs.
Beep beep beep!
Just as Luo Yi was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. Luo Yi frowned, looked up, and asked, "Who?"
Butler Hoover's voice came: "It's me, Lord Earl, it's urgent!"
"Come in!"
The door opened and Butler Hoover walked in, but Loy's eyes did not fall on him.
But look behind him!
He was a young man, dressed very simply, with a tall but strong figure.
His legs were still bound, and his large feet looked very restrained on the expensive carpet.
His face was covered in sweat, soaking his clothes. Even though he tried to control himself, he was still breathing rapidly.
Luo Yi also smelled a faint smell of the sea from him, mixed with the smell of sweat. It was not very obvious, but it did not escape Luo Yi's sense of smell.
"Who is this?"
"Messenger, messenger from Siren Port!"
Luo Yi's eyes narrowed, focusing on the young man, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
The man knelt down and said, "I, I'm here to deliver a letter for the Knight. Siren Port, Siren Port has been attacked by pirates!"
As he said this, he took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, opened it carefully, and a roll of letter paper appeared inside.
Hoover immediately stepped forward, took the paper, and handed it to Roy.
Luo Yi took it, unfolded it, scanned it at a glance, and his face immediately became gloomy.
He practically gritted his teeth and said, "The three great pirate kings of the Silver Sea, the Mist Pirates!"
"What kind of people dare to jump out and cause trouble?"
Having said that, Luo Yi waved his hand and handed it over.
Oliveira took the letter and glanced at it quickly: "For many years, pirates on the Silver Sea have not dared to rob ships flying the Lion flag.
What's more, this is approaching Siren Harbor."
Luo Yi nodded and said, "Hoover, take the messenger down to rest first, prepare some food for him, and then let him take a bath."
"yes!"
Butler Hoover left with the messenger, but before the door could be closed, there was another sound of footsteps.
The heavy footsteps were obviously those of a knight, a fully armed knight, striding forward with a slightly hurried pace.
Loyi looked up and saw Hoover move aside and a tall knight stride in.
Alfonso Zeke, the most outstanding son of Iron Knight Phil Zeke, is also the current acting leader of the Lion Knights and the Grand Knight.
This one is actually similar to the Iron Knight. They are pure knights who are only loyal to the head of the Raymond family, the current Earl of the Flower Territory.
In other words, Roy's ascent to this position means he has their loyalty.
But this loyal and powerful knight appeared somewhat serious at this moment.
He handed a big red invitation to Luo Yi.
"My Lord, this was just delivered to me. I sent it here immediately."
"What?"
"Declaration of war! Declaration of war from the Wick family!
The above is about the ownership of Frost Moon Canyon. The Wick family and my Raymond family have a huge disagreement, so, hand over the letter of challenge! "
At this moment, Luo Yi was so angry that he laughed.
He stood up, took the letter from Oliveira's hand, threw it on the right side of the desk, and threw the information sent by Lord Regan on the left side.
So, the three pieces of information were placed side by side.
Luo Yi's smile grew bigger and bigger, and he was even on the verge of going berserk.
"You really think I'm a pushover!"
"Since you want to fight, then fight! Have a good fight!"
"I want to see who dares to fight to the death with me!"
"Inform all vassals and knights that the Lion King needs their swords and shields!"
"Right now, at this moment, in Brussels, gather!"
Here comes the first update!
