After coming out from Montoya, Bishop Sinclair was naturally not in a good mood.
But the problem is, Sinclair thought about it for a long time, but found that he had nothing to do with Montoya. This holy knight who was originally loyal to the cause of the church obeyed any order of the church and had the courage to devote himself to it.
But nowat this point, I have no way to control the other party.
Sinclair was dismayed to find that both himself and the church in the imperial capital had lost control of this holy knight who was originally boundless in loyalty.
Even if the church wants to break up, Montoya can't do anything about it - what else can he do? Report it to the Empire and say that Montoya, the murderer of the late Emperor Malsi, is hiding in the northwest?
So what if I report it?
Montoya just attempted to assassinate the late emperor! And the current emperor Hilo is a veritable regicide usurping the throne!
Even if he did report it, with Darling Chen¡¯s current power, he would still be able to protect Montoya. Ever since Darling Chen advanced to the Saint level, Shiloh had to look at his expression. Can Darling Chen exonerate himself, Baron Pierre and others, and really want to shame him and protect Montoya - can Shiloh really send troops to the northwest to capture Montoya?
It¡¯s obviously impossible.
What makes Sinclair even more frustrated is that he clearly feels that this holy knight has really "changed his heart". He has fundamentally doubted the cause of revitalizing the church, and even his faith has been shaken
"What kind of magic does this damn Darling Chen have? Is it brainwashing him?"
Not only Montoya, but almost everyone here regards Darling Chen as a god and are in awe of him! Just look at the people who go to the temple to pray every evening.
Darling Chen¡¯s prestige here is almost overwhelming!
What kind of imperial power, what kind of Temple of Light. In this land, nothing is as effective as Darling Chen's words.
Sinclair is disappointed and the failure of his mission. But he was not willing to return to the imperial capital in despair.
After all, he is a high-ranking member of the church, a dignified archbishop. Although he is already considered "old" in terms of grade, if he has any big ambitions to become the next pope, that is It¡¯s impossible.
His Majesty Heynckes is much younger than Sinclair. Even if he is named the heir, it will not be Sinclair's turn.
But this does not mean that Bishop Sinclair does not have his own pursuits.
The position of the pope in the future is unimaginable. But within the church, there is still some ambition to continue climbing up.
Now Sinclair is an archbishop. However, just being an archbishop in the imperial capital does not give you much real power. If you want to move up the ranks, there are still some attractive positions.
For example, the chief referee of the tribunal? For example, the chief cardinal of the center?
There is no need to think about the leader of the Holy Knights - he must be a Holy Knight.
But just like that, those positions are among the top five in the church.
As an archbishop, he is not yet in the true inner circle, and he does not have the decision-making power of the church. At most, during internal meetings, one has the right to make suggestions. Just get some respect on weekdays.
Even if the chief judge of the tribunal and the chief cardinal cannot take the positions then, get an archdeacon. Or simply transfer it to the local dioceses and become the local archbishop of a large diocese, which can also be regarded as the local emperor. It is much more refreshing than staying in the Imperial Capital's Temple of Light as an empty post.
But those positions with the most real power. How could it be so easy to climb up?
Heynckes has only been on the throne for a year, and he really needs to build his own team. But if you want to enter Heynckes' circle, you must have outstanding achievements!
In simple terms. Heynckes must be made to think that he is capable and valuable!
"I finally got a mission to the northwest, but I didn't complete it. It's conceivable that if I really ran back to the imperial capital in such a dejected manner, I would have to wait to fill this empty position of archbishop!"
Sinclair believes that he still has at least twenty years of good life, but he doesn¡¯t want to sit in this position until he dies.
You have to climb up.
Sinclair returned to his residence and had a sleepless night, thinking hard.One night. Until daybreak, I heard the buzzing morning bell coming from the direction of the temple outside
This bell suddenly woke Sinclair up! !
He sat up from the bed suddenly and grabbed his hair hard.
¡°I¡¯m so stupid!!¡±
Sinclair¡¯s eyes shine!
"Why did His Majesty the Pope send me to the northwest?" !
Although it was nominally to confer a blessing on Darling Chen, and also to knock on Montoya and Ade who had been away for a long time At the moment, it seems that the blessing was done, but the task of knocking on Montoya was a failure. ¡
but!
His Majesty the Pope obviously attaches great importance to Darling Chen. This kind of attention is not only appreciation, but also vigilance!
Yes, just be vigilant!
Since I came here, I have seen everything, including Daring Chen¡¯s policies and his construction of religion everything, it is obvious that he will be a serious problem in the future!
Since I can¡¯t do anything else, if I learn more about the situation here and find out more information, I will still gain some merit when I go back!
How to make the Pope take you seriously? In fact, it is very simple: it is enough for the Pope to pay attention to the news he brought back! !
When the time comes, when the church internally discusses how to deal with Darling Chen, wouldn¡¯t he, who has personally come to the Northwest and has first-hand information and knows the Northwest best, have a huge say?
Sinclair immediately made some adjustments to his mission!
Learn as much as possible about everything Darling Chen does!
¡¡
Chen Daolin actually put some thought into how to arrange Sinclair as the archbishop of the church - but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
He knows very well that although this Sinclair is an archbishop, he is not really a top core member within the church. At most, he is just a clay Buddha and a decoration. If he really held a high position, he would not be sent to the northwest to do this errand task.
But Chen Daolin did not take it too lightly. He sent several people to serve the archbishop. To be precise, it's surveillance.
No matter how you say that you are a "heretic", if you let such a high-level official from the Temple of Light come to your base camp, you still have to be careful about some things.
Therefore, Sinclair has been secretly trying to find opportunities to meet Montoya these days - Chen Daolin knows all this.
Including the news that Sinclair had met Montoya that night, Chen Daolin also knew it immediately - before Sinclair left Montoya's place, someone had already sent the news to Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin didn¡¯t take it too seriously.
He already knows people like Montoya very well.
The biggest characteristic of people like Montoya is that he accepts death.
"As long as it is something that this kind of person is serious about, no matter how nice the outside world is, it won't be able to change it. This kind of person is the most persistent and stubborn. It¡¯s hard to be moved by words. Such people only see with their own eyes. Listen with your own ears and be very sure of what you insist on in your heart!
Montoya used to be a person who regarded the revitalization of the church as his life's work and was ready to devote himself to this cause at any time. Therefore, he dared to assassinate the emperor, dare to do those rebellious and unethical things, and would not frown at all when it came to dying.
But once the belief in his heart changes then it really changes! It won't change back!
Chen Daolin knows very well that Montoya has been by his side for nearly a year since he came to Northwest China. Seeing with his eyes and listening with his ears, he clearly saw how he had won over tens of thousands of people and how he had single-handedly established the Unparalleled Martial Saint Sect. How to ensure that more than 10,000 people have food and housing, and how to ensure that more than 10,000 people can live and work in peace and contentment. I also saw with my own eyes the piety and loyalty of more than 10,000 people to this new religion under such a religious system!
??True Religion. Isn¡¯t that what it is? If you want believers to believe in piety, you must be able to come up with something that makes them truly believe in you!
Here are the top leaders of the Wushuang Martial Saint Sect. Whether it is the deacons or formal believers, including Chen Daolin himself, as well as Baron Pierre and others, their lives are very simple. There is absolutely no messy things inside the church, no fine clothes and fine food, no drunkenness, and no bathing. I wish I could build a house with gold and choose a group of young and beautiful "god servants" to serve me personally and satisfy my lust!
Low up, effect! Benevolence and sincerity!
After living in this relatively healthy system for more than a year, Chen Daolin didn¡¯t believe that Montoya had no feelings in his heart!
Now that he has feelings, his thoughts must be completely different from when he was in the imperial capital. For this kind of person who accepts death - this is enough!
If Sinclair could say that Montoya was shaken again and encouraged to rebel after just a few words during their meeting - then Chen Daolin would rather gouge out his own eyes!
¡¡
After Sinclair corrected his position and found the direction of his efforts, the old guy suddenly lost his dejection and became energetic.
The next day, we started our operations during the day.
After all, after spending his whole life in the Millennium Church like the Temple of Light, Sinclair can be considered an old fox with a good track record.
He went out and wandered around for two days during the day and really found several breakthroughs.
He first pretended to be curious and ran to visit the temple - it turned out that the Archbishop of the Temple of Light refused to step into the temple due to his identity! Even before, I would only peek and look at it from a distance.
But after correcting his position, Sinclair let go of the little reserve in his heart. He changed into casual clothes, walked into the temple and took a tour.
The temple is open to the public and anyone can go in to pray, so Sinclair's entry was not blocked. Some believers and servants of God inside looked at the old man in casual clothes and couldn't recognize him for a while. They actually let Sinclair walk inside and outside.
Sinclair even managed to learn the Rolandic version of the prayer song "All Creation". Evenhe was still on the street, chatting for a while with several members of the Wushuang Martial Saint Brotherhood who were helping others.
The old man shrank his own light, but he was flexible and flexible. He pretended to gossip and got some information, such as the structure and purpose of the brotherhood. Internal promotion system, etc.
Of course, Chen Daolin knew about Sinclair¡¯s actions soon.
After he learned about it, he just pondered for a moment and then ordered: Let him go and see.
"Anyway, these things are not confidential to begin with. Anyone who pays a little attention can see and ask about it. This old guy likes to mess around, so just let him go.
Chen Daolin also thought about it. This Sinclair was so shameless that he insisted on staying with him, and he couldn't drive him away-he still expected to have some cooperation with the church people in the future, besides. The old man Heynckes was really kind to me and helped him a lot.
But a few days later, Chen Daolin couldn¡¯t sit still!
Sinclair ran to the Northwest Fortress to observe for a while, but Chen Daolin ignored him. Sinclair even went to watch outside the military camp, but Chen Daolin ignored him.
But in the end, Sinclair went to harass the magicians from the magic academy
Chen Daolin can no longer sit idly by and ignore it!
The drawings he gave to the magicians, including the "tidal magic engine", are naturally Chen Daolin's core capital!
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was too busy, Chen Daolin really didn¡¯t want to spin off this kind of thing and hand it over to others to make.
But since it was split up and handed over to the magicians for manufacturingthen forget about keeping it secret.
"The Roland Empire does not have a strict confidentiality system at all Even if it does, it relies on a group of students and teachers who have been hanging around in the school for many years to keep it secret. That's a joke.
Among these guys, there are many nerdy magicians who have been in school for many years, are full of magic research, and have a messy understanding of the world. Even if you gave him a confidentiality system. With the emotional intelligence of these people, they may be deceived by others in just a few words.
What¡¯s more, these people are full of classical scientific research spirit. The core of this spirit is sharing and communication. These days, although Chen Daolin ordered them not to ask questions again, these magicians were too eager to learn. They still keep in touch with each other privately.
You ask me if you don¡¯t understand, and I¡¯ll ask you if you don¡¯t understand.
There are often more than a dozen students and teachers getting together, putting together the drawings they have been assigned, and studying together all night long Chen Daolin can't stop this kind of thing, and he can't really regard these magicians as those honest people. Migrant workers come to use it.
As long as they can take into account the manufacturing schedule, that's fine.
But the problem is although these things will spread sooner or later after all, it is not possible yet.??
Chen Daolin doesn¡¯t want to just build a few tidal magic engines here, and then mass-produce them in the imperial capital in a blink of an eye!
Although Chen Daolin had several copies of the core drawings in his own hands, he made them himself and did not distribute them to these magicians.
But even the drawings distributed have some important principles. By connecting them in series with each other, you can also come up with something valuable.
It is impossible to copy a tidal magic engine, but based on these principles, it is not an extravagant hope to study it and come up with something else.
Chen Daolin doesn¡¯t want these things to be lost in vain¡ªat least not now!
Who is Sinclair?
He is the Archbishop of the Church!
Being able to sit in the position of archbishop, this old man is definitely not the dry, weak, bad old man he seems! He definitely has considerable magical attainments - oh, by the way, this is not called magic in the church, but is called divine magic.
??Actually it¡¯s all the same thing.
Those drawings may look like reading from heaven to others, but in the eyes of a person who is a high-ranking member of the church and has good magical attainments, they will definitely be able to understand them.
¡¡
"How many magicians did he meet today?" Chen Daolin sat in his study, listening to the reports of his subordinates. After listening, Chen Daolin frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "You can go out, I understand. .¡±
"High Priest Do you want to restrain this guy? It's not a problem for him to run around like this every year." The person who spoke was an official believer in the church and a subordinate sent by Chen Daolin to monitor Sinclair.
"I have my own sense of discretion, so don't worry about anything for now." Chen Daolin thought for a while and asked people to go out first.
Subsequently, Chen Daolin sent someone to call Dixon over.
Dixon has just returned from another trip to the north. He has been pestering Captain Hook for the past few days - this guy doesn't know why he is so imaginative that he actually proposes to practice martial arts! He said that he wanted to train himself to be a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts
When Dean Carmen found out about this idea, he scolded him severely. But he couldn't give up his idea. Dixon's reason was simple: he had to go north with Captain Hook to meet the werewolf Lei. The north was dangerous. As a magician, if he encountered danger, he would not be able to escape. , If you don¡¯t have some martial arts skills, you really can¡¯t do it. Besides, practicing martial arts can also strengthen your body.
Carmen scolded him twice and let him go.
??When Dickson Chen Daolin. Instead of wearing a magician's robe, he was wearing a warrior blouse, and his long hair was tied into a braid. He looked a lot more energetic, but there was a clear shoe mark on the skin behind the clothes - Dixon Hook The captain was kicked by Hook on the boat during sparring.
Chen Daolin immediately understood that this must be Mr. Captain taking the opportunity to take revenge - the captain had been dragged down by this broom star many times on several missions, but he didn't ruthlessly slap this guy when he got the chance?
"Come here. I'll give you a task." Chen Daolin raised his finger at Dixon.
Dixon immediately came forward in a dog-like manner.
"That old guy from the church has been buzzing around like a fly lately. You think of a way to tell him to be more honest." Chen Daolin thought for a while: "You are the smartest disciple under my sect. I believe you can do it. Good about this."
"No problem!" Dixon immediately raised his chest and suddenly rolled his eyes: "Teacher, why don't you let Lucius do this?"
"Lucius?" Chen Daolin curled his lips: "That guy is busy."
After getting drunk on New Year¡¯s Eve, I woke up the next day. Lucius and Sasha are a little weird. Chen Daolin saw it and didn't say anything. In fact almost everyone can see it, but everyone is happy to see the result.
I heard that Shasha had gone to Lucius¡¯s house for dinner several times. Governor Fritz was also very satisfied with this female magician.
However, Chen Daolin felt that Lucius might not have an easy life in the future This female disciple of his was actually a well-hidden evil woman! The bullying of McQueen was terrible at first.
Sure enough, a few days later, Lucius was tricked by Shasha into riding a horse and almost broke his leg. Just because Shasha said she wanted to experiment with the buoyancy effect of wind that Chen Daolin taught her, she made a large artificial kite and asked Lucius to drag it on horseback. As a result, Lucius almost broke his neck.
This incident left Chen Daolin and Governor Fritz speechless, but Lucius seemed to have found happiness in lifegenerally.
And Sasha didn¡¯t know where she saw a teaching note from Chen Daolin
That was a description of a kite Franklin built to measure lightning
It is said that Sasha has started making materials in the past few days.
And Lucius
¡°Well, luckily it¡¯s winter now and there aren¡¯t any thunderstorms.
"Anyway, don't worry about it. I'll leave this matter to you alone, and don't tell anyone else. Well, just find a way to make that old guy calm down."
"I understand! This is simple!"
Dixon made the commitment and strode out.
Chen Daolin smiled happily. Among his disciples, in terms of cleverness, boldness and carefulness, Dixon is really the one, especially since he went to the north several times with Captain Hook. Born like this, he is really the best. The experience came out.
Unexpectedly Chen Daolin vomited blood at night!
Someone came to report in the evening, saying that when Bishop Sinclair was going out, he was riding a horse on the street. Someone tripped the horse's leg with a stick and fell directly from the horse. He almost broke his neck and fractured his shoulder.
Chen Daolin was trembling in his heart at that time!
At this moment, Dixon ran in with a proud look on his face: "Teacher, how did I do?"
Chen Daolin yelled angrily: "I asked you to pester him and don't let him run away! I didn't ask you to commit murder!! What if he dies!! How can I explain to the Temple of Light!!"
Dixon was stunned.
¡¡
Chen Daolin immediately went to personally visit the seriously injured Archbishop, and personally performed a low-level healing technique on him.
Looking at the pale archbishop, Chen Daolin greeted him politely and then withdrew.
Dixon followed behind with a frown on his face.
After exiting the gate, Chen Daolin turned around and kicked this guy hard: "What a good thing you did!"
"But won't he be unable to go out and run around with this injury?"
"Stupid!" Chen Daolin said angrily: "He can also do magic! With this kind of injury, a healing spell can make him jump back and forth! Andif you had really killed him by throwing him to death, the matter would not have ended!"
"Then, I still have an idea!" Dixon thought for a while and said confidently.
"Huh? Do you still have ideas? You can't kill him this time!"
"No! I'm measured!" Dixon proudly promised and ran out.
It¡¯s the second day again
The men came to report that Archbishop Sinclair went out to have dinner in the evening On the way back, someone put a sack over his head, dragged him into an alley and beat him with a sap!
When Chen Daolin heard the news, he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven!
"Go! Go and get Dixon back for me!!"
Before he finished speaking, Dixon ran in: "Teacher! This time I did everything beautifully! I beat him till his face was bruised and swollen, but no bones were broken. He must be embarrassed to go out these days."
"You bastard!!" Chen Daolin yelled: "This is my territory! From the army to the civilians, everyone belongs to me! You still put a sack over his head and beat him as a sap?! What a fart! I'm sure you can use your butt to think about it. I sent someone to do it!!! What kind of sack is it?! You might as well just hit him with a stick in front of him!! It would be easier!!"
¡¡
Sinclair was in the room, with a thick gauze tied around his head, sitting at the table writing his report.
The old man was so painful that his eyes were filled with stars, and he was breathing in cold air.
(Goddess, it¡¯s so dangerous here! I almost risked my life for the cause of the church! Your Majesty, the Pope, you must reward me heavily) (Unfinished To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
