Chapter 288 (2/2)
Du Wei was really shocked this time
“You… Maximos, are you sure you want to do this? This is already far beyond the boundary!” Du Wei warned
“Beyond the boundary?” Maxilimmer of fortitude: “The Xieni faction dares to openly issue a disorderly decreeIs this not way past what is alloithout the Pope's permission?”
“But you don't have this authority” Du Wei shook his head: “You are only the bishop of a dioceseThe establishhts company must be ordered by the Pope hi Holy Knights, not forive itimate”
“Duke, that's why I said 'special'” Maximos softly spoke: “I hts are not enough to suppress the Xieni faction, then I will need more power! As the 'Pope', I would have that power and authority to iht's company!”
Du Wei inhaled deeply at those wordsHe suddenly found the courage of this peaceful looking old !
He iave the order, then it is lawfulAs a believer, I would have to offer my aid to the Pope, this is only natural”
After both h, Du Wei was the first to retract his s face: “Bishop, for you to make this request… I would like to knohat benefit I would receive bylike friendshi+p and that sort, I'ible benefits!”
“You've already received the benefit” Maxiine you having a Holy Knight's company in your ranks; wouldn't your situation in the Northwest iht now is Rugaard of the Northwest Araard, ould the enemy soldiers think when they are surprised to find the banner of the Holy Knights in your army? To the ene war on the Temple itself! I think…Such a benefit is beyond the ive”
“I need to get a guarantee from you” Du Wei declares
“I accept” Maxirin: “If I became the pope, then you, Duke Tulip, will receive the sacred badge of the Tee, you will have a legitimate post in the Temple and your wishes will be equal to the will of the Temple itself in the Northwest! If anyone were to be your enemy, then they would be the eneood!
Du Wei's heart suddenly began to laughthe banner of the Holy Knights Order on one of his cavalry division! Only I can hit someone and they can't retaliate; otherwise, it would be declaring war on the Teht!
At this very reed deal, and each with their sinister under thoughts
After the dinner, Du Wei graciously sent the bishop back for rest while he hiuard, Old Smoke
“You take a small boat and return ashore at once! Then swiftlythe way there cannot be any delay” Du Wei's voice was stern as he peered into the eyes of this loyal bodyguard: “Go find Sir Rodriguez and tell hies are co support for my return to the capitalPass my words to him and have him rendezvous with me in the capital, hurry!”
Old Smoke accepted the order and bolted out the doorMeanwhile, QQ's voice drifted over from the back room: “You have to be careful, the people of the Teers in disguise!”
Du Wei bellowed out a laugh: “Tiger? Humph, ill see whether it is they ill skin ht finally caht in the sky like they shouldWhile their shi+p treaded slowly down river, Du Wei's heart becaot closer to their destination
He originally thought his trip back to the i event, but from the looks of it, other than the coup of the royal fa to experience another coup, but this time it's the Temple's turn!
Chapter 288 “Who is sche 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 baptisht on my head now?!” IndeedAs a duke who controls the ician of the Earded by the general populace as one if not the enerationThis outlook has been ironed out ever since his outstanding performance at the day of the coupSuch a man, who holds enorine what it would be like for the individual that can convince this person to becoreater than spreading the word of the Goddess to tens of thousands of ordinary peopleAs 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 powerOn the other hand, bringing in a proure would be another storyAnd 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 nowIn the future I will personally send sos of the GoddessMy 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 itThe clergymen sent to your territory before were merely small characters froh to warrant that rewardI 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 foundI can hardly force ious tax atop of my own” Du Wei frowned“In order to expressto exeious taxes for three yearsAs the archbishop of a diocese, this is within my power and authorityAnd once three years had passed, if…” Maximos smiled: “Of course, it's just hypotheticalIf 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 manMy request is not too much, if you can proratefulOf 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 ranksAlthough… The Holy Knights are loyal to the Pope, they are after all stationed many miles awayWith time, it's hard for anyone to remain pure to their causeSo, I believe it's hts within my watchUmm… What I mean is, in due course, I need the assistance of your army when a tioneto 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“You… Maximos, are you sure you want to do this?
