Archbishop shakika of Bayer, led by 2000 divine punishers, is about to arrive at the foot of ice rock city.
They are not many, but they are of great significance. If Manda goes to war against shakhka at the moment, it is equivalent to sending the scholars to war against the whole Church of God.
Manda knew that the missionaries had no strength to fight with the divine 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 position as the other party.
After grooming, Leo Frank looked at Manda and said:
"I try my best to negotiate with her, but it concerns the interests of a country. I''m afraid the problems that can be solved by negotiation alone are very limited."
Manda shrugged her eyebrows and said, "don''t you have any other means?"
Leo nodded and said, "there are indeed means, but how useful do you think it can be? If I can conquer a country in bed, why hide under your eaves?"
"With less complaints and more ideas, the Lord will help you. If you can conquer Bayer, you will become the Archbishop here. You will lead the army here to attack bucken from behind until you get everything back."
Leo nodded: "this temptation is really irresistible."
Manda also nodded: "I hope your temptation makes her unable to refuse."
Leo took seven attendants outside the city. These seven people were his carefully selected counselors, including Amado. Everyone was smooth, old and eloquent. The only problem was that the battle was a little small. It seemed not very respectful to greet the Archbishop with seven people.
No way, Manda''s use of the shuttle of the underworld brought a limited number of people. Fortunately, Archduke bayev supplemented the battle for Leo.
This was definitely not the original intention of Archduke bayev. According to the law of Bayer, he could not welcome the archbishop, but he could not let the Archbishop enter the city alone, so he told it to fajev, the high deacon of ice rock city.
Ice rock city is the Archduke''s territory. According to common sense, there should be a bishop here, but Archbishop shakika did not appoint a bishop here. The highest leader of the divine punisher of ice rock city is the high deacon fadev.
Fadev gathered more than 500 believers outside the city. Now the problem comes. Leo comes first and occupies the most appropriate position. Fadev could not conflict with Leo, but could only go further to meet the archbishop.
But Leo did not allow him to leave and asked Amado to show the Pope''s instrument to canonize Leo as a holy archbishop.
The holy Archbishop Leo Frank ordered the high deacon fadev to meet Archbishop shakika with him.
Fadev wanted to refuse, but he couldn''t find a reason to refuse.
It sounds ridiculous. Leo is the holy Archbishop of Roma road. Why should he give orders to the high deacon of Bayer?
This is a very complex problem. In the Church of divine punishment, the appointment and removal of deacons and above requires the permission of the Pope. Although it is only a formal process between documents, this process means the transformation of identity.
The Pope will write in the document that all the divine punishers who can become Deacons will become the children of the holy kingdom of heaven, that is, Leo and fadev are the children of the holy kingdom of heaven, loyal subordinates of the Pope, serve mainly under one system, and stand at the height of the overall system of divine punishers as the holy Archbishop of Leo, He does have the power to give orders to a high deacon.
Of course, there are still many problems that can be disputed. Fadev can also refuse to execute orders from the perspective of local system, but fadev is not qualified to argue with Leo. What does a high deacon argue with the holy Archbishop? The identity difference is too far.
The seven men Leo brought were all high deacons who could form a circle and quarrel with him while singing hymns.
Besides, fadev''s mouth was stupid. Amado blew him up after playing casually.
And fadev has to consider for the future. If one day he wants to go to the holy heaven to provide for the elderly, he''d better not provoke big people like Leo. So he stood behind Leo frank, and the 500 believers he brought became Leo''s guard of honor.
After waiting for a long time, the banner of God''s punishment finally appeared at the end of sight.
In the wind and snow, Archbishop shakika in a bright red and white robe stepped out of the carriage.
Her robe is not only brightly colored, but also inlaid with various precious stones on her chest. Gold bells and pendants are hung on the lower edge of her robe.
This made Amado not get used to it. The costumes of God punishers should be very simple. The color of robes is mostly black, and there should be no ornaments except brooches and badges.
But Leo understood that this was the most traditional dress of the divine Punisher. The traditional divine Punisher''s clothes were more gorgeous than the noble service in the classical period. However, a trend was deliberately formed later, which made the divine Punisher''s clothes more simple, which could attract more people at the bottom to join the church.
Although Amado did not like it, he had to admit that the Archbishop in full dress was very moving.
Her age seems to be around 30, which is similar to Leo''s, but she is likely to be a high-level divine punishment warrior like Howitt and bucken. Her actual age may be quite different from her appearance.
Leo bowed and reached forward to help shakika out of the car.
Fadev believed that this was a serious breach of etiquette. In Bayer, no one, including the king, was allowed to touch the Archbishop''s body.
But shakika didn''t mind. She put her hand on Leo''s hand.
When she got out of the carriage, she looked at Leo for a long time.
Leo sent messengers in advance, and shakika knew that Leo was the holy Archbishop of Roma road.
But looking at each other''s eyes, it seems that they are not the first time to meet, but old friends who have been separated for many years.
Amado smiled in his heart and secretly admired Manda''s wisdom. Before the meeting began, Leo had been half successful.
Shakika led the punisher into the ice rock city. Leo walked side by side with her and introduced the situation of the ice rock city all the way. Leo can speak fluent luasai language, but shakika took the initiative to speak common language with Leo.
Lingua franca is the language of the holy kingdom of heaven. It is a proud honor for those who punish God to replace the local ancient language with lingua franca. It is the most ceremonial choice between the two archbishops to communicate with each other in lingua franca, but it is hard for the high deacon fadev.
He kept following behind, trying to insert a word or two in poor common language, but he couldn''t get in.
Even if you insert one or two words occasionally, you will be submerged in the noise of Amado and others.
"The road here is not very smooth," Leo warned carefully. "Please slow down. In front is the market, where there are the most conflicts."
Leo will make a very detailed introduction wherever he goes. It can be seen that he has done a lot of homework before.
This led to misunderstandings among shaqika and his party, and misunderstandings among everyone, including Grand Duke bayev dressed as a civilian.
"Who is the master of this place? I''ll show him who is the master!" bayev wanted to rush up and teach Leo a lesson, but the family minister stopped him.
"It''s a trap, Archduke. If you go now, it''s tantamount to violating the law of the kingdom in public. Don''t worry. I''ll find a way to arrange for you to meet the archbishop."
Bayev restrained his happiness and anger and watched the people enter the cathedral. What happened next was completely out of his control.
Manda was also nearby. He 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 expected.
The Archbishop''s chest glittered with gold, but Manda could not see the specific number. She had divine blood stones. She covered up the class in a special way.
After entering the cathedral, shakika sat in the first seat and Leo sat in the second seat. This is not a difference of identity, but a respect for women.
The owner of the church, fajev, sat awkwardly at the end.
Shakika and Leo are still like old friends. After a few greetings, they cut to the point, but both sides maintain a comfortable scale and tacit understanding.
"I think you should understand that ice rock city is the land of the Bayer people, and the paiwu scholars should not use their barbaric acts to hurt the Bayer people in this land." when she spoke, shakika kept looking into Leo''s eyes, as if she was worried that the focus of contradiction would destroy the harmonious atmosphere.
Leo nodded and said, "I admit that some of the practices of the missionaries are inappropriate, but I''m afraid it''s extremely inappropriate to describe them as barbarism. I don''t know whether you have ever been to the tribe of the missionaries. If you have seen the actions of the Bayer people there, you will have a new understanding of the word barbarism."
Shakika said silently for a moment, "the priests are the vassals of Bayer. Paying taxes is their obligation and the law of Bayer."
"The land of the missionaries can''t be cultivated. They live by hunting. They have to pay more than half of their prey to ice rock city every year. Is such a high tax rate stipulated by the law?"
"The tax rate can be discussed again..."
"If they can''t pay taxes, they will take away their wives and daughters, which is also stipulated by the law? If they have nothing to rob, they will burn their houses, hang them on wooden stakes and peel off their skin alive, which is also stipulated by the law?"
Leo''s voice was a little loud. Shakika frowned: "the law can''t describe everything in such detail. Every place has different traditions..."
"We want these barbaric traditions to disappear from the world. This is the mission entrusted 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 gradually gets rid of barbarism and ignorance!"
Shakika shook his head and said, "the paiwu scholars do not believe in the Lord. They believe in a pagan god named harumas!"
"Why do they choose pagan gods? Is it our fault or theirs? They choose ancient and primitive beliefs because they can''t see the glory and love of the Lord. Don''t you think we should all be ashamed of this?"
Shakika fell into silence. Taking advantage of this brief silence, the high deacon fadev finally had the opportunity to speak.
"Archbishop, I don''t think we have anything to be ashamed of. If we see heretics, we should kill them, and so does Romulus!"
Poor pronunciation, vulgar language, and Bayer''s unique loud voice made shakika frown. In the past, she may have been used to the coarseness of the Bayer people, but compared with the elegant Leo, fadev''s various performances can be called a series of critical attacks.
Leo turned his head to see Jeff, smiled and said, "just because Romulus did this, the whole country fell into continuous war for years. How many people died? How many people were homeless? What we spread is love, not war. Do the Bayers want to repeat the mistakes?"
Fadev was speechless. Shakika said he was tired and wanted to have a rest, but he still had some deep thoughts on the doctrine and wanted to discuss it with Leo.
We all know this kind of thing. We need a suitable environment and can''t be disturbed by others.
Seeing that shakika and Leo left side by side, fadev hurried to catch up. He still had important things to report.
But just after two steps, he was stopped by Amado and others.
Fadev yelled, and Amado tried to calm him down: "I know you have a lot to say, but the Archbishop doesn''t like you very much. Do you know the reason? It''s because you''re not ready. Tell us what you want to say first, and we''ll help you."
