Chapter 288 “Who is scheainst whom?” (Part two)
After deliberating for a htened his back and asked in a whispering voice: ”How much do you need me to bet?”
Maxiht… It would be reat pleasure if I had the opportunity to personally preside over your baptism”
Du Wei laughed: “Dear Bishop, you've set your sight on my head now?!”
Indeed As a duke who controls the ician of the Earded by the general populace as one if not the eneration This outlook has been ironed out ever since his outstanding performance at the day of the coup
Such a man, who holds enorine what it would be like for the individual that can convince this person to become a believer of the Temple!!
This feat would be far greater than spreading the word of the Goddess to tens of thousands of ordinary people
As a bishop, their s of the Goddess and make more people believe in the Tein was people of the ordinary class, it would be pointless for they hold no power On the other hand, bringing in a proure would be another story And Du Wei… Who on the continent can possibly claient?
Du Wei didn’t agree at once, instead he continues to ask, ”And what else?”
“I have heard that in your territory the attitude towards the temple is not very friendly” Maxi up the past now In the future I will personally send sos of the Goddess My request to your lordshi+p is that you show a friendly attitude towards the members of our Mosa faction”
“Haha! So you want to also pull my Desa Province into your diocese too?” Du Wei couldn't resist a laugh
“It is as you say” Maximos didn't try to conceal his intent and ca to the custoin land that hasn't been developed yet, it will be zoned into the diocese of whoever can pioneer it The clergymen sent to your territory before were merely small characters froh to warrant that reward I will later send my own people from the central northern diocese…”
“But you have to understand that the Desa Province is a barren land without many riches to be found I can hardly force ious tax atop of my own” Du Wei frowned
“In order to expressto exeious taxes for three years As the archbishop of a diocese, this is within my power and authority And once three years had passed, if…” Maximos smiled: “Of course, it’s just hypothetical If I could step up to that position, the tax-exempt decree would be extended”
“H me convert and allow your missionaries into my land, what other request do you have?”
Maximos's smile noas mildly adrift: “Duke, you see, I am not an insatiable old man My request is not too much, if you can prorateful Of course…… If you are generous, I would like to add just one tiny bit of a request, just a very small one”
“Say it”
Maxi to the decree of the Tehts stationed in a diocese is controlled by the local archbishop and is obliged to insert fresh blood each year into their ranks Although… The Holy Knights are loyal to the Pope, they are after all stationed many miles away With time, it's hard for anyone to remain pure to their cause So, I believe it's hts within my watch Umm… What I mean is, in due course, I need the assistance of your army when a time of crisis arrives”
Du Wei furrowed his brow: “Have you goneto every decree in the Empire, no military official or army is allowed to involve the imperial authority into the Temple's dispute? If that happens…”
“No, no, no, you ent or special' circuhs: ”For example, let one of your arhts Order, what do you think?”
Du Wei was really shocked this time
