Judging from this first impression, the financial strength of the Holy City is probably far beyond imagination!
Father Solger didn't think much about it. His chest rose and fell slightly as he looked up at the city wall with hope in his eyes.
Holy city! My hometown in my dreams has finally arrived!
The two men dismounted and led the carriage to the city gate.
People around him kept looking sideways at Lai Gou'er, a strange Oriental man.
Until the carriage was ready to enter the city.
Two guards in silver armor holding spears blocked their way.
Without waiting for the guard to ask, Father Solger hurriedly explained: "We are from Feka. I am the newly appointed archbishop by the Pope. I came to the Holy City to be baptized."
After saying that, he immediately took out the letter of authorization and handed it over.
The guard took the letter of appointment, took a look at it, then raised his chin towards Lai Gouer.
Father Solger said hurriedly, "This is a guest from a great Eastern country, and he is also my friend. He has come to see the Pope."
The guard looked Lai Gou'er up and down and nodded.
There are many people coming and going in the Holy City. Although this person is of a different race and has an unusual appearance, there is nothing strange about him.
One of the guards held out his hand and said, "The entrance fee is one silver coin per person. Pay as much as the number of people in your convoy."
Father Solger was stunned for a moment and questioned: "How can they charge money in this holy city? Will the faithful believers be stopped outside the city just because they have no money?"
The two guards looked at each other and laughed.
"This is the rule! You can't enter without money. Are you going to pay or not?"
Seeing the frivolous looks of the two, Father Solger was furious: "How can this be! You are simply taking advantage of the opportunity to make money! I am the archbishop, and I will report you to the Pope!"
The two guards grinned even wider, "Great! You can go and complain to the Pope, but you still can't enter without money. Are you going to pay or not?"
"I won't hand it over, and I want to enter the city. What can you do to me?" Soljie was furious.
I was so happy to arrive in the holy city, but this happened before I even got through the gate. It was really disappointing.
The beauty of the first impression was completely ruined.
Hearing this, the two guards straightened up, poked their guns on the ground, and said in a bad tone: "Then don't come in, stay aside, don't get in the way here."
"How dare you!"
Seeing Father Solger looking angry, one of the guards bent down and approached Father Solger with a playful look on his face.
"Steamed bun, are you not convinced?"
