On the fourth day, Roland invited the large and small nobles near the fortress and the fortress to the castle hall.

Although most people knew the news, he felt it was necessary to emphasize it face to face again - the West has changed its new owner.

When he affirmed that he would return to the border town and at the same time hand the fortress to the eldest son of the honeysuckle family, everyone suddenly talked about it.Of course, no one is willing to take the lead at this time to stand up to the objection, the duke's head is still hanging high in the city gate, and the news of the defeat of Tifiko makes the speculators want to use external forces can not do.

Except for the redemption of the knights of the honeysuckle family, the other captured knights would not accept the ransom, and together with the mercenaries, they would be sent back to the border town.In Roland's plan, all the mercenaries sent to mining and labor reform, while the knights were hired as appropriate after examining their attitude of repentance - after all, most of the knights were literate and could be used as the enlightenment teacher of universal education.Of course, they will not be allowed to use weapons all their lives.

In this way, the forces of the honeysuckle family will be able to control the four people, and the force in the hands will be used to defend the long song fortress and the family's count collar, Roland thought, as for the undercurrent under the water, that is what Pero should worry about.

In the past few days, he has also sent out personal guards to retrieve a group of officials who caused the residents of the border town to starve to death two years ago, including the finance minister Ferreno, who will be tried by the people in the border town.The only regret is that Count Hilt Maid, the culprit of the grayhound who tried to burn the grain and killed the gray dog, died directly on the battlefield without trial.

Today, traffic between the long-gao fortress and the border town has been fully restored, and in the next week, more than a dozen sailing boats will be sent to the border town every day.Roland speculated that Barov must be busy next, receiving the coins from the duke, and the resettlement of a large number of immigrants, and did not know whether the temporary wooden sheds built by the head of the car.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to return to the border town as soon as possible and preside over the upcoming planting industry.

After entertaining the big and small nobles for lunch, Roland intended to go for a nap, and the castle welcomed a special guest.

Tyro High Priest of the Church of the Long Song Fortress.

Roland was asleep at all.

Unlike the border town, the church has been rooted here for a long time, not only building the church, but also sending a high priest to stay here.This was also the main reason for the prince's decision to return to the border town with peace of mind - under the long indoctrination and influence of the church, any commoner could become their eyeliner, and the plan for his own popular participation was everywhere, and the risk of the witch being found was multiplied.Unless the church uprooted, his reforms would be difficult.

For the fortress lords to change this kind of thing, the church's close attention is very normal, Roland is strange, they can not bear to send representatives to deal with themselves today.However, the identity of the comer is not simple, and the believers who are the high priests are already high-ranking figures in the church, responsible for the supervision of the party, and the territory is similar to the secular dukes.

He met each other in the hall.

The high priest of Tyro was a middle-aged man, dressed in a church-style white-bottomed blue-sided robe, about forty years old, with a neat dress and appearance, and a polite nobleman.If it were not for the ass sitting on the side of the witch and the royal family, I am afraid that anyone who talks to such a person will be happy.

The high priest must have carried a high-quality stone of divine punishment, and in order to avoid accidents, Roland specifically told the nightingale to stay away from each other's location before the meeting.

After the tea ceremony, Roland invited him to take a seat and ordered the servant to bring him tea.

No matter what you think, the surface of the effort or to do in place.

“Your Highness the Prince, I send a blessing on behalf of the Holy City,” said Tyrolean with a smile, “you have become a veritable Lord of the West, and may God bless you.”

"Thank you," returned Roland in a light-hearted tone, "it seems that you don't care that I've killed Prince Lane and taken the long-song fortress."

We rarely interfere in worldly disputes, and as long as we can make the people better, we are a wise king.As for which family he was born, or from the royal family, is not the focus of the church.In fact, the promotion of the church never depends on the identity, I was only the son of a farmer, and now I can also serve as the high priest in the church," he smiled, "I forgive you, my lord, I am afraid that no farmer's son can become a duke?" 」

If he revolted to overthrow the royal family, he would still be king.Roland thought so, but did not refute his mouth, and changed the subject directly, "Then you came today, just to send a blessing?" 」

"Blessings are only part of it, and I bring cooperation."

“Cooperation?Collaborate with what?”

“In expanding territory and power, we can help you as much as we can.”

“Wait,” Roland frowned, “you just said that the church rarely interferes in worldly disputes.”

"Freak intervention does not mean non-interference," said the high priest, still calm, "and now your brother Tifeko and the three royal daughters of Garcia's strife have made the people of the South border with a dead end."I have said that as long as the world lives a peaceful and peaceful life, the church recognizes him as a worthy king.And you are such a person."

Roland froze, the other side is said that he wants to help himself fight for the throne?He unconsciously asked, “Why?”

"You led the people of the border town against the evil beast and spent the month of evil spirits in safety, which proves your courage and ability."As can be seen from the large amount of food bought in Willow Town, you don't want to starve and freeze your people, which is a sign of kindness.Three noble qualities, and being a royal bloodline, are the reasons we choose you.”

Roland did not believe the reason for what the other party said, but these words at least proved that even when the border town was on an island in the snow-covered mountains, the church was still watching this remote place.

“How can I help you send a judge to fight for me?”

“We also want to quell the war as soon as possible, but to do so arouse the disgust of most nobles, so we can only help from the material,” the high priest took two balls from his bosom, one red and one black, “this is the holy city prayer room – that is, equivalent to the medicine made by your alchemy, the red pill can give your subordinates a powerful power for the time being, and the black pill can increase their endurance to the pain, the cold, and the burning.”With this drug, your army will be unstoppable.And the church only charges the most basic production costs," he paused, "a hardware dragon."As for these two pills, they can be used as a test to prove that what I say is true.”

“What do you ask for in return?Expand the congregation and build churches on every territory?”

“Of course it is good, but it is our intention to quell the war.As long as the people are safe, they will naturally fall into the arms of God.”

Roland took the pill, "It sounds amazing, but I have no intention of fighting for the gray castle crown for the time being, whether it is Tifeco or Garcia, it is my dear blood, I do not want to hurt them."

“I can understand,” laughed the high priest, “but sometimes familyness does not stop the temptation of rights, especially when you become a stumbling block on their way to taking them.”The pill is just the beginning, and there's a lot more help we can offer, and if you decide to take that step, you can come to church and find me."At this point, he got up and stooped, "I have brought the church's resolution, and may God be with you, Your Highness."
