Give Me the Name of God

Archbishop Bair, Shakika, led two thousand divine punishers and was about to arrive at the Ice Rock City.

They are not many in number, but they are of great significance. If Manda goes to war against Shakika at this moment, it is equivalent to sending soldiers to go to war against the entire Church of God's Punishment.

Manda knew that the dispatchers did not have the strength to fight the God Punisher, so he wanted to send a suitable person to negotiate.

There is only one suitable candidate because he can solve the problem from the same standpoint as the other party.

After tidying up his appearance, Leo Frank looked at Manda and said:

"I tried my best to negotiate with her, but it concerns a country's interests, and the issues that can be solved by negotiation alone are probably very limited."

Manda shrugged her eyebrows and said, "Don't you have other means?"

Leo nodded and said: "There are indeed means, but how useful do you think they will be? If I can conquer a country in bed, why should I hide under your roof?"

"Fewer complaints and more ideas. The Lord will help you. If you can conquer the Bayer Kingdom, you will become the archbishop here. You will lead the army here to attack Bucken from behind until you take back everything you have."

Leo nodded: "This temptation is indeed irresistible."

Manda also nodded: "I hope your temptation will make her unable to refuse."

Leo took seven followers outside the city. These seven people were his carefully selected counselors, including Amado. Each one of them was smooth, sophisticated and eloquent. The only problem was that the formation was a little small. Point, it doesn’t seem very respectful to welcome the Archbishop with seven people.

There was no way, the number of people Manda could bring by traveling through the underworld was limited, but fortunately Grand Duke Bayev supplemented Leo's formation.

This was definitely not Grand Duke Bayev's original intention. According to the laws of Bayer, he could not welcome the archbishop, but he could not let the archbishop enter the city alone, so he told the matter to Fadev, the senior deacon of God's Punishment in Ice Rock City.

Ice Rock City is the territory of the Grand Duke. According to common sense, there should be a bishop here, but Archbishop Shakzka did not appoint a bishop here. The supreme leader of the God Punishers in Ice Rock City is High Deacon Fadev.

Fadev gathered more than 500 believers outside the city. Now the problem came. Leo arrived first and occupied the most suitable position. Fadev could not conflict with Leo, so he could only go further to meet the archbishop.

But Leo would not allow him to leave, and asked Amado to produce the papal document conferring Leo the title of Holy Archbishop.

Holy Archbishop Leo Frank ordered High Deacon Fatev to join him in welcoming Archbishop Shakka.

Fadev wanted to refuse, but could not find a reason to refuse.

It sounds a little ridiculous. Leo is the Holy Archbishop of the Romulu Kingdom. Why should he issue orders to the senior deacons of the Bayer Kingdom?

This is a very complicated issue. In the Church of Divine Punishment, the appointment and removal of deacons and above require the approval of the Pope. Although it is only a formal process between documents, this process means a change in status.

The Pope will write in the document that all the Divine Punishers who can become deacons will become subjects of the Holy Kingdom. That is to say, Leo and Fadev are both subjects of the Holy Kingdom and loyal subordinates of the Pope. Serving the Lord under the system, as the Holy Archbishop of Leo, standing at the height of the God's Punisher's overall system, he does have the right to issue orders to a high-ranking deacon.

Of course, there are still many issues that can be argued about, and Fadev can also refuse to execute the order from the perspective of the local system, but Fadev is not qualified to argue with Leo. What does a high deacon argue with the holy archbishop? The identities are too different.

The seven people Leo brought were all senior deacons, and they could form a circle and quarrel with him while singing hymns.

Besides, Fadev is also stupid, so Amado completely blew him away with a casual display.

Moreover, Fadev also has to think about the future. If one day he wants to go to the Holy Heaven to retire, it is best not to provoke a big shot like Leo. So he stood behind Leo Frank, and the five hundred divine punishment believers he brought became Leo's guard of honor.

After everyone waited for a long time, the flag of the Lord of Divine Punishment finally appeared at the end of their sight.

In the wind and snow, Archbishop Shakka, wearing a bright red and white robe, stepped out of the carriage.

Her robe is not only brightly colored, but also inlaid with various gemstones on the chest, and there are bells and pendants made of gold hanging from the lower edge of the robe.

This makes Amado very uncomfortable. The God's Punisher's attire should be very simple. The color of the robe is mostly black, and there should not be any accessories except brooches and badges.

But Leo understands that this is the most traditional attire of the God's Punisher. The traditional God's Punishment robes are more gorgeous than the aristocratic services in the classical period. However, later a trend was deliberately formed, which made the God's Punisher's clothes become more and more gorgeous. Simplicity can attract more people from the lower classes to join the church.

Although Amado couldn't stand it, he had to admit that the Archbishop in his attire was very moving.

She seems to be around thirty years old, about the same age as Leo, but she is probably a high-level divine punishment warrior like Howitt and Bucken, and her actual age may be quite different from her appearance.

Leo leaned over to salute, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, trying to help Shakika get out of the car.

Fadev believed that this was a serious breach of etiquette. In the Kingdom of Bayer, no one, including the king, was allowed to touch the body of the archbishop.

But Shakika didn't mind, she put her hand on Leo's hand.

When she got off the carriage, she looked at Leo for a long time.

Leo had sent a messenger in advance, and Shakika knew that Leo was the holy archbishop of Romulu.

But looking at each other's eyes, it was as if they were not meeting for the first time, but were old friends who had been separated for many years.

Amado smiled inwardly, secretly admiring Manda's wisdom. Before the meeting even started, Leo was already halfway successful.

Shakika led the God Punisher into Ice Rock City, and Leo walked side by side with her, introducing the situation of Ice Rock City along the way. Leo could speak fluent Ruasi, but Shakika took the initiative to talk to Leo. Speaking of lingua franca.

Common language is the language of the Holy Kingdom of Heaven. It is the proud glory of the God Punisher to replace the ancient languages ​​​​of various places with Common Language. Between the two archbishops, communicating in Common Language is the most ceremonial choice, but it only suffers from the high deacon's method. Jeff.

He kept following behind, trying to get in a word or two in broken Common Tongue, but he couldn't get in.

Even if he occasionally added a word or two, he would be drowned in the sound of Amado and others.

"The road here is not very smooth," Leo warned carefully, "Please walk slower. In front of you is the market, which is where the most conflicts occur."

Everywhere he went, Leo would give a very detailed introduction, and it was obvious that he had done a lot of homework before.

This caused a misunderstanding among Shakka and his entourage, and caused misunderstanding among everyone, including Grand Duke Bayev who was dressed as a commoner.

"Who is the master here? I want him to see who is the master here!" Bayev wanted to rush up and teach Leo a lesson, but the retainer stopped him.

"This is a trap, Grand Duke. If you go there now, you will be violating the laws of the kingdom in public. Don't be impatient. I will find a way to arrange for you to meet with the Archbishop."

Bayev restrained his anger and watched everyone enter the cathedral. What happened next was completely out of his control.

Manda was also nearby. He also disguised himself as a civilian and quietly observed Shakika. Leo's performance made him very satisfied, but he always felt that things were not as simple as imagined.

There was golden light shining on the archbishop's chest, but Manda couldn't see the specific amount. She had a divine blood stone, and she used a special method to cover up her rank.

Entering the cathedral, Shakka sat in the first seat and Leo sat in the second seat. This was not a difference in status, but a respect for the lady.

The owner of the church, Fadev, sat on the bottom seat in embarrassment.

Shakika and Leo were still like old friends. After a few pleasantries, they got down to business, but both sides maintained a comfortable scale and tacit understanding.

"I think you should understand that Ice Rock City is the land of the Bayers. The dispatchers should not use their barbaric behavior to harm the Bayers in this land." While speaking, Shakika kept looking at Leo eyes, as if she was worried that the focus of conflict would destroy the harmonious atmosphere.

Leo nodded and said: "I admit that some of the practices of the missionaries are somewhat inappropriate, but it is probably extremely inappropriate to describe them as barbaric. I don't know if you have ever been to the tribe of the missionaries. If you have seen worshipers, You'll get a new appreciation for the word barbaric when you look at what the Germans did there."

Shakika was silent for a moment and said: "The dispatchers are vassals of the Bayer Kingdom. Paying taxes is their obligation and it is also the law of the Bayer Country."

"The land of the sentinels cannot be cultivated. They barely survive by hunting. Every year, they have to pay more than half of their prey to Ice Rock City. Is such a high tax rate required by law?"

"The tax rate issue can be discussed again..."

"If they can't pay their taxes, their wives and daughters are to be taken away. Is this also stipulated in the law? If there is nothing to take, their houses are to be burned, they are hung on stakes and skinned alive. Their skins are also required by law?”

Leo's voice was a bit loud, and Shakika frowned: "It is impossible for the law to describe everything in such detail. Every place has different traditions..."

"We want these barbaric traditions to disappear from the world. This is the mission given to us by the great and merciful Lord. It is precisely because the Lord is willing to share His wisdom with every child that the world is gradually getting rid of barbarism and ignorance!"

Shakika shook his head and said: "But the sentinels do not believe in the Lord. They believe in a pagan god called Harumas!"

"Why did they choose pagan gods? Is it our fault or theirs? They couldn't see the glory and love of the Lord and chose ancient and primitive beliefs. Don't you think we should all be ashamed of this?"

Shakika fell into silence. Taking advantage of this brief silence, Senior Deacon Fadev finally had a chance to speak.

"Archbishop, I don't think we have anything to be ashamed of. We should kill heretics when we see them. This is what Romulu did too!"

The poor pronunciation, vulgar language, and the loud voice unique to the Bayers made Shakika frown. In the past, she might have been used to the roughness of the Bayers, but compared to the graceful Leo, Fadev's various performances were a series of critical blows.

Leo turned his head and looked at Fatev, smiling and said: "Because of what Romulu did, the whole country fell into continuous wars for years. How many people died because of this? How many people were made homeless because of this? It is important for us to What is being spread is love, not war, will the Bayer people want to make the same mistake again?"

Fadev was speechless, and Shakika said that he was tired and wanted to take a rest, but he still had some deep thoughts on doctrine that he wanted to discuss with Leo.

Discussion, everyone knows that this kind of thing requires a suitable environment and cannot be disturbed by others.

Seeing Shakika and Leo leaving side by side, Fadev quickly chased after him. He still had important things to report.

But after just two steps of pursuit, he was stopped by Amado and others.

Fadev cursed loudly, and Amado tried his best to calm him down: "I know you have a lot to say, but the archbishop doesn't like you very much. Do you know why? It's because you were not prepared and told him what you were going to say first. Let’s say it again and we’ll help you.”
