Chapter 1411 Don’t Do Loss-Making Business
There is no specific standard for measuring the scope of protection.
But it is obvious that going to the toilet does not require close protection, but Lei Zhen’s identity is different, and the current task of Earl Ruth and Earl Sally is protection.
Unless something unexpected happens, the two of them will stay.
"I'm afraid of death, come quickly."
The words "fear of death" left the two golden knights helpless.
In the end, he had no choice but to follow him into the bathroom and provide close protection for the cardinal.
Of course they weren't wearing armor, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.
Even so, after the three of them entered the bathroom, it was still packed.
"Have you seen it?" Lei Zhen asked.
The two golden knights frowned slightly and chose to be patient.
"Is it big?" Lei Zhen asked again.
The two turned their heads away, not wanting to answer such questions.
"I asked you if you've ever seen clouds this big. If I guessed correctly, you've never been on a plane. When we get there, I'll let you enjoy my plane. It's quite comfortable."
“…”
This is not a joke, but the plane is really too narrow.
Lei Zhen began to miss his strategic transport aircraft and the flight that he had spent a lot of money to renovate, which was simply a seven-star hotel in the sky.
I must let them enjoy the big plane someday. No matter what, these two golden knights will be my personal bodyguards from now on.
After going to the toilet, Lei Zhen sat back and began to listen to Bishop Gaia accept the division of duties within the Holy See.
Simply put, the identity and status of the cardinal are above that of the purple. They are people working in the agency and are the highest among them except the Pope.
The Purple Archbishop is equivalent to the local leader, and can also be understood as the warlord in various places.
Normally the cardinals are definitely more powerful, but the situation is different now. They all have to stay in the Vatican, and their control over the local areas has weakened. Instead, the purple cardinals have a higher status.
In peacetime, the superiors are the most powerful; in chaos, the warlords are the most powerful.
Therefore, the purple-robed archbishop Lei Zhen is more powerful, and even the cardinals have to give him some respect. The most important thing is that the purple-robed archbishops from all over the country are responsible for safeguarding the interests of the Holy See.
To put it bluntly, the Pope can only give Lei Zhen the title of Purple Archbishop, after all, this is a field job.
"It took you so long to give my cousin such a position?" The cousin said unhappily, "The Pope is too stingy! He should at least give him a cardinal, right?"
"Cousin, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. You can take the Saint to sleep in the back." Lei Zhen said.
It was obvious that the cousin was not the kind of person who would abandon his lover after having fun with her. He eventually kept the saint with him, even though she was not happy about it.
But things like this will only be revealed over time. Being unhappy now does not mean you will be unhappy in the future. It will get better over time.
"Cousin, come with me."
"What is it?"
"Come!"
The eldest cousin pulled Lei Zhen to the back and pulled the curtain closed.
"We lost a lot this time."
"There's no doubt that the Pope is using you. He has absolutely no influence at all. He's just good at boasting. Even though he's imprisoned, he still acts so noble."
They are not fools. After being baptized, my cousin is as smart as a monkey.
Besides, he grew up in the Roman Empire, and until he got involved in the affairs of the Vatican, he was simply defeated in wars and was eventually imprisoned in an area of 440,000 square meters.
To put it nicely, it is called a country within a country. To put it bluntly, it is just a larger residential area, not even as big as Tiantongyuan.
"Do you know how much land the Vatican has?"
"have no idea."
"Do you know how many industries the Vatican has?"
"have no idea."
"Then do you know how much offerings the Church receives each year?"
"have no idea."
"You don't know anything, how can you be sure that I'm losing money?"
Lei Zhen didn't want to talk to his cousin because the other party knew nothing and understood nothing.
Don’t think that the Holy See has declined. They have many ways to make money, so many that it’s hard to imagine. It’s hard to imagine how much land they indirectly control.
"Cousin, they almost reaped all the wealth of the Western Continent with their indulgences. How much wealth do you think the Vatican has?"
"This... did we make a profit?"
"Nonsense, bloody profit!"
Ever since he started out, Lei Zhen understood one thing: a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
The Long family has countless wealth hidden in the caves, even though they have been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years. However, the Holy See has controlled the Western Continent for hundreds of years and has had an influence for thousands of years, even to this day.
“The Holy See is not only the core of a vast spiritual and cultural community, but also a vivid symbol of a vibrant system of ideas and values, and it is also a secretariat that coordinates a transnational bureaucracy worldwide…”
"Their largest investments are in banking, real estate, and energy. Their ties with Western capital are very close, and it's not as simple as it seems."
Never do business at a loss, this is Lei Zhen’s motto.
Killing is for money, fighting is for money, and becoming a purple cardinal is also for money.
No one knew when he started to be interested in treasures. Maybe it was after he plundered the treasures of the blood clan, or maybe it was after he saw the treasure cave of the Long family.
"Cousin, can you give me one of your Golden Knights?" The cousin said expectantly, "Actually, I'm afraid of death too. Sometimes I even cry in my dreams."
"Um?"
Lei Zhen was a little confused. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.
Saying that he was afraid of death was already very shameless, but he could swear that he had never said that he was so scared that he cried in his dreams.
"Give me one, I want the one with red hair."
"You can't subdue it."
"You can lower it slowly."
"Do you believe I'll beat you?"
"Are we still cousins?"
“…”
Qiu Yang was very disappointed and full of disappointment with his older cousin.
He was just afraid of death and longed to have a golden knight to protect him, that's all.
"Cousin, how about letting me build your palace?" The cousin said seriously, "I wouldn't trust anyone else with this job. After all, you'll have to live in it in the future."
"No, how did you come up with this?"
"Don't worry, cousin won't take your money."
"You want a beauty pageant?"
"Absolutely not!"
“…”
When it comes to intelligence and talent, no one can compare to my cousin.
The red-haired golden knight is just a prelude. If they eventually build a palace for their eldest cousin, they are close cousins after all, so of course they will help if they can.
As for the beauty pageant, it was pure nonsense. Qiu Yang was not that kind of person at all.
Wearing a swimsuit outside is called a beauty pageant, while holding a pageant in the purple archbishop's palace is called the selection of saints. Wearing no swimsuit at all, but being selected naked, are two completely different things from a beauty pageant. How can they be confused?
People of high standards should do high-level things, so I have to help my cousin hold the scene no matter what!
