Chapter 397 (1/2)
Chapter 397: The Slick Prist the officials who hated Bishop Victor, but now they have been quite suppressed,” said the Prime Minister ”We could think of a way for theain and continue to be a thorn in the side of the Bishop”
Hearing that, Benjamin nodded
”So… What else?”
The Prime Minister revealed a slick sratiating attitude towards the Bishop If it is for us to publicly rebel, or to release so the Church- that we cannot do”
Benjaed his shoulders in acceptance
Sure enough, although they had said that they would help, but with their identities and personalities, they were a bunch of treacherous court officials ayed according to whomever was currently in power It was very unrealistic to hope for any confidence on them
They could not be fully depended on as faithful allies…
Having thought about this, Benja: ”Then what can you do? Forget about interfering from the side; if it is about interference, I can do it myself Why must I need you and your men?”
Saying thus, he put away the smile on his face, and his tone became less friendly— he needed this Prime Minister to know that he was not someone as easily fooled, or this Prime Minister would not provide him assistance of any practical value
As for Mikel, it was not wise to continue holding back on his account
”Mage Benjamin, it is not necessary for you to be so hasty” The Pri ”What we can do depends on your plans If you can fight all the way to the gates of the City of Snoe can help you open up the gates If you want to smear the Church’s reputation, we can secretly edit the Bishop’s orders We are able to accos Nevertheless, you should understand that none of us wishes to bear too great a risk”
…If one wishes to be in the safest position, if everything fails, was it still possible to protect oneself prudently?
Although Benjaruntled, but he still accepted their stance He understood the means that they had If this team of people really wanted, they could even destroy the entire kingdoe
Under such circuood deal that they illing to provide assistance
”Then you should know a lot of things” After so these few days, other than clearing up the newspapers, what else has the Church been busy with?”
As practical help was unavailable for the ti, the least they could do was to furnish him with some news
”It is all as you see” The Pri slowly ”However… If you are talking about the ones hiding under the surface, they have sent many into the midst of the people to uncover those with divine talent When the tie will be built in Ferelden to expand their power of influence”
Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows Even Mikel wore an expression of surprise; apparently, he did not know of this
Raising up new blood?
It had never occurred to Benja exactly what he was
He understood the implications clearly
The Church was not very welcome in Ferelden, partly because they were outsiders and were not able to blend into this country of Ferelden Coners’ priest, preaching to the locals in a foreign accent The local would definitely resist his sermons subconsciously However, if they were to pick a priest fro would be completely different
Once a local priest appears, the Church would be deemed to have roots in Ferelden
”Can you stop this?” Thus, Benjamin hastily asked
”Unless the Bishop is driven out from the Palace Otherwise it would be very difficult to stop” The Pri ”We can only delay it, secretly try to trip them up and do our best to postpone the birth of the first Ferelden Priest”
”Then do your best in delaying it,” Benjaht for a moment, and added, ”In the future, if the Church has any plans, try to postpone them as much as you can Basically, just impede their administrative efficacy as much as you can”
