Since the church and shrine are to be rebuilt in Wisas, the Holy Church in the St. Airo Empire will naturally send clergy to the Territory of Desinia to deal with related matters.
Under the Pope, there are three levels of cardinals, archbishops, and archbishops who are in charge of clergy or various affairs. Among them, cardinals and archbishops sit in the empire and assist the pope in managing the Holy See, while the archbishop is responsible for solving the remaining small domestic churches and The problem with the occurrence of the temple.
As for its bishops, bishops' agents, etc., they are assigned to the church temples in small countries and even territories as managers.
It stands to reason that the Holy See wants to rebuild the church in Xia Zoe's territory, and the personnel sent should be at the bishop level, even if it is higher, it can only be for the sake of the archbishop.
Xia Zoe thought so, but when he saw the people sent by the Holy See in the castle, the expression on his face froze involuntarily: "Sai..."
The person in front of him was the one he had seen in Kaesri, the current Pope, Segalot.
Why is he here
Hasn't he left the territory since the duke's turmoil
Xia Zoe naturally didn't know that Segalot continued to travel after burning down the church and shrine in Kaesri. He had already traveled to a neighboring country, and then detoured to Gayna. He happened to encounter the royal turmoil in Gayna, and there was even a Holy See. participate.
Segalot stayed to investigate, and unexpectedly found that the forces sent by Xia Zoe were also lurking here, and helped the eldest son of the eldest prince, Wright Green, several times.
The eldest son is indeed like, as Bruno Green said, a person who only loves men and violates the Holy See regulations, does not follow the secular and common sense, and falls in love with the servant who grew up with him, confirming the relationship.
Bruno Green really isn't talking nonsense.
According to the regulations of the Holy See, it is very reasonable and normal for Wright to lose the qualification to inherit the throne because of this taint.
But Segalot did not hand over the evidence and information he ordered the Golden Armored Knight to find out to the executive bishop of Gaina, but chose to sit on the sidelines to see who would win the throne in the end of the battle between the two princes.
Among them, the most critical "evidence" here is the servant who was in love with Wright. He was sent away and hidden by Wright at first, but was later found by Bruno and brought directly into the church. In a chaotic dispute, the servant committed suicide when no one could react.
Bruno Green lost strong evidence against Wright, and the next thing was to let Wright take the throne.
From start to finish, Segalot doesn't care much about whether Wright loves men or women.
Xia Zoe met the clergy in the castle according to the date determined in the document issued by the Holy See, but the only people who came were Segalot and the man in black who protected him.
After the initial surprise, Xia Zoe calmly led people into the castle. Now they are sitting in the study together, with Fernandi and Valk standing on the left and right.
Seeing that the little lord did not speak, the people from the Holy See also sat opposite to each other in silence, but with a smile in their eyes and a slight hook at the corner of their mouth.
Valk couldn't help looking at Segalot. He looked about sixteen or seven years old. He looked handsome. From his hair to the hem of his clothes, he was exquisite in almost every part, but he was not inferior to the five standing behind him. The tall and burly man in black robe, or even worse, is obviously someone who has been in the upper position for a long time.
Such a person is definitely not like a bishop or a bishop's surrogate.
Valk couldn't help but have an incredible idea in his mind.
Especially his gilded eyes... Once known as the "honor bestowed by the God of Creation".
These eyes are a unique and extremely rare color in the Holy Church.
Valk felt that someone beside him was looking at him, turned his head and looked at Fernandi, and the other party also had the same question in his eyes.
Xia Zuoyi said at this time: "Are you here to preside over the construction ceremony of the church and the temple in person?"
Segalote: "I wouldn't come in person for something so small."
I just came to see a little rose that was growing.
"Then you are because... Do you need me to help you?" Xia Zoe said.
"No, no."
"… "
He felt that there was no way to talk about it. Why is the current Pope only staring at him
Is there something on his face? Impossible... If there was, Judit would surely wipe him clean.
Could it be... Couldn't it be because of how cute he looks
Seeing the changing expression on this little rose, Segalot was delighted and said, "I'm here for you."
"for me?"
Xia Zuoyi's expression was obviously puzzled.
Segalot: "The internal concerns have been resolved, but the foreign aggression still exists. The Holy See is the most direct and best means of consolidating royal power. A country recognized by the Holy See..."
He watched Xia Zuoyi and said slowly: "Even the territory is equivalent to being recognized in the eyes of other people, and for the time being, it can restrain some wanton growth ambitions."
Xia Zuoyi: "I've never been afraid of these."
Otherwise, he would have rebuilt churches and shrines to the Holy See long ago when Gadayat became the territory of Desinia.
Segalot praised: "You are indeed the smartest. Of course I understand that you are not afraid of these, but not afraid does not mean that you will not feel troublesome."
"You know, sometimes even the slightest bit of trouble can be a pain in the ass."
Xia Zuoyi nodded, this is indeed true.
But he didn't even want the clergy of the Holy See to intervene in the territory and hinder him from doing things in the future... He would rather be able to endure this obstacle, and whoever dares to attack his territory, don't blame him for returning it tenfold and a hundredfold. go back.
It's not hard for Segalot to guess what he's thinking.
It should be said that since the first time he saw him say those words with a smile in the church of Cais that day, Segalot could see that the child did not have much respect and awe for the God of Creation.
The way he looked at the statue of the God of Creation was just looking at an ordinary statue, with only novelty and a little interest in it.
Segalot looked at Xia Zoe and said, "So, I didn't bring any bishops."
"You can use your own people, as long as they are the churches and shrines built in Wissas, you will not interfere in the affairs of Desinia territory without authorization from now on."
He gave ample hints.
Xia Zoe instantly thought of the priests such as Grove.
"what do you mean?"
"You choose one person, and I can make an exception to promote him to bishop."
Xia Zoe: "why do you..."
Segalot's gilded eyes seemed to glow with flowing brilliance, and he smiled without saying a word.
Because he wanted to cultivate a bright and moving rose with his own hands, watching how gorgeous this rose could bloom in the fertile but thorny soil.
The matter of selecting a bishop is simple, and there is a pope who can directly appoint here.
Shazoe plans to make Grove the new bishop of Wisas.
After the business was completed, Xia Zoe sent Segalot to leave the castle.
Just after leaving the study, when they were about to pass the corner, the five black-robed men behind Segalot, that is, the golden armored knights, suddenly tightened their bodies and stared vigilantly at the slightly dark corner of the corner.
Segalot also looked over.
In the dark corner of the corner, gradually walked out of two huge bodies, one black and one white, smooth and full of strength, with beautiful stripes on the fur, and the thick paw pads stepped on the ground without making any sound.
The Golden Armored Knight responded quickly, and immediately surrounded Saigalot with a machete on guard.
The briquettes and the snowballs seemed to sense the threatening aura emanating from each other, so they couldn't help but stop in the same place, the tiger's eyes released a dazzling brilliance, and with a low growl, the sharp claws slowly protruded...
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help saying: "I raised them and they won't hurt anyone at will."
Segalot: "Put down your weapons."
The black-robed man at the head hesitated for a moment, then he put down the scimitar in his hand, and the rest of the black-robed man immediately did the same.
Segalot couldn't help but look at these two huge tigers, their rare colors, and their ferocious appearance...
He looked at Xia Zuoyi again: "how did you raise it?"
Xia Zuoyi wondered, how else can they be raised
"Feed the meat."
"Ow." The few people who were threatening just now put away their weapons, and the briquettes and snow balls also straightened up slightly and called out to Xia Zuoyi, but they didn't come.
"Can I go in and take a look at them?" Saigalot said, "I'm alone."
Xia Zoe nodded.
The black-robed man at the head couldn't help but want to speak, but shut up under the eyes of Segalot, he could only watch the Pope follow behind the little lord and gradually approach the two tigers that looked very dangerous and ferocious. .
"What are their names?" Segalot whispered.
"Black briquettes, white ones are called snow balls." Xia Zuoyi had already walked to the two tigers, and they rubbed their shoulders and face one by one, showing their intimacy.
When Segalot wanted to stretch out his hand, the briquettes and the snow balls showed resistance together, bared their sharp teeth at him, and even the word "king" on the top of his head seemed to squirm.
"Give me your hand." Xia Zuoyi stretched out a tender white hand to Segalot, palm up.
Segalot raised his eyebrows slightly in novelty, and he could almost completely cover it with his right hand.
Xia Zuoyi took his hand and slowly put it on Xue Tuan's body. Under the palm of his hand was a smooth and slightly hard fur, which came out from his fingers from time to time, "Xue Tuan is very good."
Segalot looked directly at the icy eyes of the white tiger, and suddenly smiled after watching it for a while: "Really, can I touch this black tiger again?"
"Um."
Segalot finally withdrew his hand under the increasingly dissatisfied eyes of the briquettes, "I think both of them are not good, you are the best."
"… "
Xia Zuoyi took a step back to avoid: "Indeed."
