Chapter 290 (2/2)
In the nine hundred and sixty years of the Roland Eht, this tradition has never been broken, nor will it ever be allowed to be broken!
In a way, this could even be called a standard of legality for the reigning eitimacy!
Unconsciously, people have even erected such a concept: without the Pope's personal presence during the e it around, as the supreht, the pope mustn't casually perform a baptism!
This is the iron law!!
“Is his Majesty the Pope insane?!!!” Du Wei suddenly ju, is he stupid?”
This is provocation! A blatant provocation!
Du Wei's face was pale too as he stared at Zack: “You are also stupid! How can you take on so like that!”
Zack's face hite too as he shouted, “Oh heavens, my Duke! You think I'ht of the situation? You think I want to accept soe was standing in front ofthe Pope's personal decree at my face! You think I can deny it? I'm not you, I' your businessIn front of a character at the level of the Pope, how do you expect me to refuse? I have to say yes even if every fiber ofit over, Du Wei had to admit… In front of the Pope's personal decree, he himself wouldn't be able to refuse, let alone this monkey
On the whole continent, who can openly say no in front of the Pope?
“Besides” Zack ht after I accepted that thing, I immediately sent someone out of the capital to find you on the roadAt that time, you should've been halfway to the capital, did you notthe tio, wasn't that exactly the time when he saved Maximos from those Xieni assassins on the river?
“I did not ers you sent out” He hastened to ask: “Then what about Prince Son? What does the Regent have to say about this news?”
Zack's face eird before he ht, I wanted to seek you out in the er of the court and handed a copy of the Regent's order, and then…”
“And what?”
“Then that person took the listed ite his words, Du Wei felt like his face had been punchedFu with anger, Du Wei slammed the table with his palm and snapped at theso iht! Why now!!!”
“I'd like to, I really wanted to” Zack shook his head: “The htWithout so much as a word, the two men stormed into e to transe to soet about leaving to inforoodness sake!”
Du Wei noddedHe did find it odd that Zack did not receive hiate yesterdayAs his lord, it's only natural the steould be there, yet even thisthe monkey had to call for an audience at the shop instead of co did the court ers allow ent is doing either, I can only do as they say and call for youEven just now those people from the court were still here, butto bet they placed so, Zack s: “I sent ency of the matterAside from the road, I also had thes now, I can see they've been intercepted by either the Temple or the royal family”
Du Wei slowly calms himself down
It seems this was done intentionally by Prince Son
Deliberately blocking the news along the way and not letting himself learn of these matters until he co?
As for Earl Biliaibuer and the others, those guys also didn't poke a word either last night, obviously ordered by the Regent too!
But why all this, what's the point?
Seeing Du Wei plunging into a long muse, Zack bitterly smiled and said, “Milord, now is not the tient now is the auction at noon today…But we don't have the decree that everyone's waiting for, Prince Son took it away last night! What are we supposed to do when our hands are e with you?”
Du Wei furrowed his brow… Prince deliberately ent did have that thought, then why shower hiift hi clan? There's no reason to set this up today to fraood way to ruin the auction that's for sure, but there's no reason to e deeply, Du Wei finally clears histhe hness is obvious… Deliberately sending so is to not allow anyone else to get their hands on the item! His point is very clear: use any et their hands on the Pope's promise!”
“Then what should we do at the auction?”
“This is the part where we need to find our own solution” Du Wei sighed: “Now that we're on topic, the only way out of this is to buy it ourselvesAt the auction, noprice is, weat his own auction house, what kind of irony was this?
Zack was slightly stunned, but he was also a wiseup, he exclaient means! Just that, why didn't he discuss the matter with you prior to this event? Instead, he sends someone to snatch it away and not let ive runted with displeasure
From the looks of it, this Prince Son see Du Wei wouldn't want to touch this troublesoent forcefully du him know until the last moment!
Prince Son will never admit to the fact that he took the decree awayIf Du Wei doesn't have the item at hand after so bla the Pope's decree”In order to not bear this accusation, Du Wei can only bid for the item hi the bird that stands out!
Based on Du Wei's style thus far, it's a certainty that he would absolutely be unwilling to stand at the cusp of this! So, the Regent simply made the decision for hi hihed inside: And here last night he was still worrying about the stick after the carrot
Seems the stick is quite the heavy handed one!
Chapter 290 “What a heavy handed stick” (Part two)So, ten days ago, Zack released news that he's going to carry out hisevent, and exactly at that ti nor s the winter of this year, one of the provinces in the southern part of the empire suddenly suffered a catastrophic snowstormThe climate in the southern reaches rarely snowed, but it's not unheard of for this anomaly to occurNaturally, the finance depart out the relief efforts on this disaster It's just that this incident coincided with the annual gathering of the various archbishops in the TehtWhen hisreclusively for many years – heard this news, he coious taxes on the parishes involved in this disaster for one yearYou can say that it's not a big deal, but with the Pope leading the effort, it's only natural that the powerful followers of the Temple would make their own contributionsIn the end, nificant sums of money to the causeThis matter caused quite the stir in the capital for several daysEventually, the situation devolved into an e scenario for the court: With one call from the Pope, the aoldThere's no doubt the Pope's appeal was strong within the Te froan to spread around the capital saying the regent only old coins coathered in his naher than the Regent'sSuch rumors are naturally filled with ulterior motives, but the facts are there in front of them, how can the court deny this when the Pope did indeed raise that ae of the Teent loses face with each passing dayThe fighting between the royal faWhat h profile maneuver to snub the royal familyFor all these years, that old man had lived a low profile life and remained reclusive, but now suddenly he coht hereEveryone in the elite circle are old weaselsWith only a little sniff, these sly bastards can easily ss went according to the nor to the temple when such rumor arises, otherwise, their actions would be no different froent's faceYet that's precisely what happened here, it's weird! Prior to the rumor, the pace of the relief collection inside the Teh as it was, but when the words froed overnight! This pheno those few days, the faithful's who heeded the Pope's call to donate was so high that the line outside the cathedral covered nearly two streets and hts had to be suinally three old coins incredibly doubled in less than two days!This way around, the Pope's appeal would awe anyone that learns of thisIn turn, the Regent's side seems bleaker“Are these rich people in the capital all blind and deaf?” Du Wei frowned: “It's obvious so for the Pope while covertly losing the Regent's face! Are they not afraid of offending the royal family to join in on this type of show?” Zack shakes his head: “My Duke… You're wrong! Strangely, the majority of those who run to the temple to donate are not from the rich part of societyI've asked around and noticed n accent, as if they are from the south…I don't knohy there are soto the capital city recently, but all of thee su before they depart… This thing is an obvious and deliberate move to make the royal fahed: “How could the capital suddenly ee so anized this!” “I know right?” Zack smiled: “It's a shao, the scene outside the Temple was like a sea of people, endless!” Du Wei shakes his head and asked, “What about the royal fa?” “It's precisely because they have no response which makes it weird” Zack smiles wryly: “Even an idiot can see this is the Temple's deliberate provocation, very inconsistent with the Pope's usualno reaction, re silent and…” “And what?” “And you don't find it odd? To say a coent is afraid of the Temple is that field? Let's not mention the royal family, merely Earl Biliaibuer and Count Taklanshan can easily throw over several old coins to stack the odds, so why? There's so ent's faction, yet none are speaking” Du Wei began pondering with questionFor this ainst the royal faht's been doing well so far, why suddenly challenge the authority of the Regent? Then there's the people from the south…… Can it be the Xieni faction? But what's the reasoning for the Xieni faction to do this? Other than provoking the ire of the royal faet of this? Too many questions and too little answers, Du Wei can only set aside these questions for now: “Hmm, what does that incident have to do with the auction today?” “Just two days ago, someone came to us and listed one of their 'itely at the topic: “Guess who sent this item?“…… Who?” “The Te judge of the temple personally came here and handed me a decree from the Pope himself! The decree is one of the items for sale today and has been deposited in our vault for the past two days!” His Majesty's orders were very clear and that the decree will go to the highest bidder! As for the proceeds from the auction, it will all be used for the disaster relief fund in the south and the winner of the auction shall receive a personal signed pledge froardless of their background or status, good or bad, dumb or smart, faithful or unfaithful, that person's child will receive the honor of being personally baptized by the Pope hinized as a God child of the PopeNow that's neorthy, even Du Wei could barely keep hi over the baptiseneration of the pope will never give a baptism to any ordinary person, that was of course unless you were the emperor of the Empire!! In the nine hundred and sixty years of the Roland Eht, this tradition has never been broken, nor will it ever be allowed to be broken! In a way, this could even be called a standard of legality for the reigning eitimacy!
