Start As a Lord In a Viscount

In the next few days, Claire stayed in the capital for a few more days, modified some spell models to suit the magic swordsman, and then ordered a booklet to give to Cillian in the Knights Academy.

A few days after the release date of the heart-shaped crystal, Claire made sure that there would be no major trouble, and then returned to Nafu City with confidence.

In the past few days, the number of pre-sale heart-shaped crystals has exceeded Shane and his expectations. The two of them still underestimated the wealth of the nobles in the capital, especially after the news that Princess Irene also had a piece was released. The number of people has risen by one level.

…

In the largest and most magnificent church in the outer city of the capital, a bishop in a white robe and a bishop in a red robe were in a small room in the church of the Guangming Church.

"The limelight in Nafu City has been very hot recently." Bishop Baipao said solemnly.

The bishop in the red robe nodded, "There's such a thing, even someone like me who just came to this country has heard of it, and it seems that there are some mermaids."

"But the offerings from Nafu City seem to be the same as before." Bishop Baipao narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of light.

The red-robed bishop who was sitting opposite him looked up, "His Holiness the Pope means..."

The Church of Light was founded on a territory, and the white-robed bishop they sent to each country as the leader was also called the pope, which was not the same conceptual name as the bishop in the country.

"Bishop Randolph, you came from the Holy Nation. Logically speaking, I should let you go to a certain big city to become the bishop of the church there." Bishop Baipao's voice was a little hesitant.

Randolph sat upright and said, "Your Excellency Pope, what can you say directly."

"I have seen the lord of Nafu City..." When Bishop Baipao said this, his eyes narrowed again, as if he was caught in a memory, and after a few seconds he continued: "I am right in front of me. When I saw him at Duke Charles' wedding a few days ago, I knew that he was not a simple person, and the priest in Nafford should be under his control."

Randolph was not surprised when he heard it. He heard about these things from time to time when he was teaching in China. It was common for some priests to be assassinated by local nobles. It was killed, but if you can't catch it and there is no evidence, you can only recognize it by pinching your nose. After all, this is not the era when the church is the most powerful. At that time, the king of a country could be hanged for any excuse. However, since the defeat of the "Holy War", the power of the church has declined rapidly. Now it has recovered to the current state. The level has been the work of generations of pastors.

Now it is more of a stage where the power of the church and the kingship are balanced with each other. It is a stage of peaceful competition. Whoever wants to break this balance with violence will not have good fruit.

Therefore, there will be some local churches that are relatively powerful and almost control the economy and culture of that area, while some local churches have no right to speak at all, and the local aristocratic forces are dominated. Time to pull it out for a walk.

And the more economically developed the place, the weaker the church's control, because there will be more magicians in that place, and magicians are not born to deal with these people in the church, because it is normal to fight with different ideas.

"His Holiness the Pope meant to let me go to Naft City, right?" Randolph guessed.

Bishop Baipao nodded and put the documents in his hand on the table, "This is all the information I have collected about Nafhu City and their lord Claire. According to the above information, it is not difficult to find out. The city will inevitably become one of the economic centers of gravity in the south of the country. I want you to take the lead and build up the people's belief in the Lord there, otherwise, when it develops, it will be difficult for us to enter."

Randolph picked up the paper on the table and looked at it. Their church has a church in every city and town, and there are many believers, and many nobles also believe in the Church of Light, so the source of the church's information extremely rich.

Randolph looked at the information on the paper, his eyes widened involuntarily, and exclaimed: "As expected, the Pope, the lord of Nafu City is really not easy. It has not been half a year, and Nafu City has been run by him into this appearance, which is richer than some medium-sized cities."

Bishop Baipao nodded, "Bishop Randolph mustn't think that I'm ostracizing you and arranging you to a remote city, but this city of Nafhu must be taken by our church, and I won't send other pastors over there. Don't worry, I think you can't fight against the other party, but if you don't want to, I won't force it."

Randolph shook his head, "The Pope has underestimated me. Where missionary is not missionary, I am willing to accept this task."

Bishop Baipao's eyes lit up and excitedly said: "As expected of a bishop who came from the Holy Nation, then please!"

"I will take Nafu City!" Randolph's tone revealed a hint of confidence.

Bishop Baipao stood up, patted Randolph on the shoulder, and encouraged: "I believe you have the strength." Then he pointed to the documents on the table and continued: "These are all information about Nafu City. Take a good look at it, and if you need anything, just mention it, and I will satisfy you."

…

As soon as Claire returned to the Viscount Mansion, she saw Priest Omar walking anxiously outside the door.

After kicking the wolf king and letting him find a place to play, Claire walked straight to Omar and asked, "Why is Pastor Omar interested in coming to me today?"

After seeing Claire, Omar trotted over as if she had seen a savior.

"Lord Viscount, you are finally back!"

Seeing Omar who was so anxious, Claire also had doubts in her heart, and waved her hand to calm down the other party.

"Pastor Omar, don't worry, there is something you can say slowly."

"The church over there in the capital sent me a letter..."

"Huh?" Claire frowned instinctively when she heard the word church, and asked, "What is written on the letter?"

"They asked me to go to the church in the capital for further study!" Omar said excitedly. He had been looking forward to this opportunity for more than 40 years. He had already given up, but now this surprise is too exciting.

Claire felt something wrong in her heart, but she didn't speak in a hurry and continued to look at Omar.

Only then did Omar continue: "That... those transactions between me and you, I hope you can keep them secret."

He didn't want Claire to leak out the deal between them, as long as he went to the capital to study, he would definitely have a brighter future! He didn't want to be influenced by Claire anymore.

"Wait a minute!" Claire reached out to stop the other's plea and asked, "If you go to the capital, who will be in charge of the church here?"

Omar looked up and thought for a while, and replied, "The letter says that it seems that a new priest will be sent over, and it seems that it is still a bishop."

Claire's pupils shrank, and sure enough, her bad hunch at the beginning was right, the trouble that she had been avoiding was still coming.

Seeing the slight change in Claire's expression, Omar asked suspiciously, "Lord Viscount, is there any problem?"

Claire smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's okay, I wish you a bright future!"

As for letting the other party not go and stay, there is no need to say that it is not something that a small priest of the other party can decide. Now he should think about how to deal with the so-called bishop who is coming.

If he was a little more interesting, then he might not be able to get along well with him, and he didn't want to mess with that tough guy in the church. But if you have to do it against yourself, then you won't be easy to mess with.
