Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Fourth: Clumsy
"Sir Edward is really...loyal." Giles said with a sneer.
Edward leaned forward and said: "It should be, this is the duty of every vassal." He paused, and then said: "In addition to meeting Lord Giles, I have two things to ask you, the Earl. help."
Gilles sat up straight, spread his hands and said, "Speak."
"The first one is about Sir Allen. Now Lord Allen's territory, combat power, and military strength have reached the standard of the Viscount of the Empire. So Sir Allen entrusted me, and I want to ask you, the Earl, to supervise the place on your behalf. The Academy submitted an application for the qualification examination, Lord Alan hopes to obtain the certification of Viscount as soon as possible. He has stayed in the position of baron for too long, and it is time to raise the position, = pig = pig = island = novel = www=zhuua=I don't know what the earl wants?"
Gilles was startled, and glanced at Graal. The latter didn't seem to have thought about this question, and couldn't respond to the earl for a while. Under Edward's questioning eyes, Giles could only laugh dryly and said: "This is what it should be. With Sir Allen's current strength, it is indeed not an exaggeration to be promoted to Viscount. This matter can be left to me, and I will be drafted later. An application document will be submitted to the local supervisory office by tomorrow at the latest."
Edward bowed deeply: "Thank you very much, Master Allen will be very happy to hear the news."
"It's easy. It's easy." Giles nodded, "What's the second thing?"
"The second thing is just a trivial matter." Edward smiled lightly: "In our borderlands, a new church has sprung up. Sir Allen himself is also a believer in this church. He believes that his belief in this church will help strengthen his own faith." Goals and confidence. And now, Sir Allen's territory has grown to the neighborhood of Ark Harbor, so now, Sir Allen hopes that you can allow this church to enter Ark Harbor and Dawn Castle to preach and preach."
"Oh, there is such a thing? Even people like Sir Allen are their believers. It seems that this church is very interesting. What's its name?" Gilles asked curiously.
"Christianity." Edward said the name of a church that had never been spread in the empire: "The god they believe in is Almighty God."
"Almighty God?" Graal laughed: "This is nothing new, don't the gods of all sects claim to be omnipotent?"
"That's true, but Christianity is a little different. Because it has a messenger of the gods who walks in the world, and God gives warnings to mortals about the future through her eyes." Edward pretended to be mysterious and said: "That Miss Vera, until The predictions made now have never come true. About this point, as long as the earl sends someone to the border to inquire, we will know."
Graal obviously didn't believe it,
He said with a smile: "This kind of method has been used by the church before. It was later proved to be false, and it angered the emperor of the empire. There are many examples of being burned to death on the stake."
"Whether it is true or not, time will naturally prove everything."
"I don't think it will take time to prove it. Let that Miss Vera come in later. If she can predict the future of me or the Earl, then it doesn't matter to let this Christianity preach in the territory." Graal said with a big hand With a wave.
Edward looked at him deeply and said, "Can Lord Graal's words replace the Earl's decision?"
Grayl shuddered for a moment. He was overwhelmed with complacency just now, forgetting that Giles was no longer the boy he used to be, but the majestic Earl. When he said that, it was indeed a bit over the top. He looked at Gilles, and sure enough, displeasure flashed in the eyes of the young earl. The expressions of the two fell into Edward's eyes again. He took everything into his eyes and had some understanding of Gilles' temper.
Looking at Edward again, Graal's eyes changed a bit. When Edward stepped into the study just now, seeing that he was younger than Allen, Graal didn't pay much attention to him. It can be seen that now that Edward has seized the handle that he accidentally dropped, and complied with the situation to provoke the relationship between him and Giles, he knows that this young man is not simple. He and Allen are not the same kind of people at all. Allen's difficulty lies in the powerful power he has mastered, whether it is personal combat power, the strength of his core team, or those elite special troops, none of them are too strong in a mess. So he acted vigorously and straight-forward, completely ignoring the thoughts of people with no real power like Graal, simple and rude; Edward took a different route, this seemingly weak young man was good at seizing opportunities, and in a few words Then quietly dropped a trap. When dealing with this kind of person, if you don't raise your spirits, I'm afraid you will fall into his tricks and still be in the dark.
At this time Giles coughed dryly and said, "I'm also very interested in this Miss Vera, but I don't have to be as harsh as what Sir Grall said. There is no sect in Ark Harbor now, if this Christ has the truth If the teachings guide people to be good, it’s okay to let them spread the sermons in the territory. But before that, I would like to ask Miss Vera to give a foreshadowing. I don’t know if this magical lady will go with Sir Come."
Edward nodded and said, "She and Father Miro are in the living room. Miss Vera is the saint in the church, and Father Miro is... the Pope."
Although Milo is the leader of the church, given the current size of the church, he is not even considered a bishop, so he has always called himself a priest without a title. Now that he wants to gain a foothold in Ark Harbor, and the church will continue to expand in the future, Edward simply decides the title for him now, so as to avoid further disputes.
It's just that Giles had a very vague concept of the Pope, so he didn't ask, but nodded half-understanding. With his nod, he recognized Miro's priest, and it would be much more convenient for the church in the future. Graal next to him sighed inwardly, Giles was still too young. After being provoked by Edward for a while, he rejected his suggestion in order to establish his majesty as an earl. He gritted his teeth, thinking that it is better to push out the previous plan as soon as possible, so as not to let Edward go on talking, I am afraid that Gilles will become less and less fond of him.
Allen is an invincible commander on the battlefield, but this Edward in front of him is a first-class lobbyist in the officialdom. His powerful mouth is no worse than Allen's performance on the battlefield. These two people got together unexpectedly, and Graal only felt that this combination was extremely headache. Fortunately, Allen is not here now. They lack strong force to back them up, so it will be more or less beneficial to the plan they launched.
Grall coughed dryly, looked at Gilles with a smile on his face and said, "My lord, didn't you just say that you have something to discuss with Sir Edward?"
Gilles said "ah", as if remembering something, he said "yes" hesitantly. Edward looked at him and Graal, and recalled the reminder from Butler Mace, he had already anticipated what was going to happen. He didn't point it out, but asked deliberately: "Master Earl, I don't know what's going on?"
"Well, I think..." Giles seemed hesitant to speak, and the young earl rubbed his hands under the table uneasily, and then looked at Graal with questioning eyes. The latter even winked, and Gilles bit the bullet and said: "That's right, in view of Sir Alan's current lack of management talents, I would like to recommend a few people to Sir Edward, I believe they can help Sir Alan look at such a big A territory."
After a pause, he said to Graal, "Is that so, Viscount?"
Grall scolded a fool in his heart, Gilles asked, wouldn't he tell Edward that he came up with this idea? Sure enough, Edward looked at him with a smile on his face, and Graal hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this is the plan you decided before. I have referred it for you, and it is absolutely feasible, and it is also for Sir Allen's benefit." .”
"So that's how it is." Edward was calm. How could he not know that Graal's idea was to install his own people among them. This is a good move, no matter how bad the chess pieces are, they can serve as their eyes and ears. And if Alan or Edward were more incompetent, these pawns could develop their own power, thus silently seizing Alan's power internally. It's a good idea, but it's just a little too taken for granted.
Edward bowed and said, "I am very grateful to the Earl for thinking of Mrs. Allen, but in this regard, I don't think the Earl needs to worry too much. Now that I am here, there will be no problem in managing the territory. Mrs. Allen just trusts me and let me I will assume the responsibility of temporarily managing the territory on his behalf."
Before Gilles said anything, Graal sneered: "Sir Edward is too conceited. You don't even know who the Earl wants to recommend, so you just refuse it. Sir Edward thinks that he can Won the candidate recommended by the earl?"
"Why not?" Edward straightened his body, the color of his pupils changed from light blue to platinum, exuding a compelling brilliance: "No matter how many mediocre people there are, what's the use of it. I alone is enough to manage the territory. Besides, if If you can't manage even a small Viscounty, Lord Allen would have kicked me away long ago."
This sentence was so proud that Graal was speechless for a while, and Giles was also overwhelmed by Edward's self-confidence that overflowed his face. After a while, he said to Graal, "Look, I said that Sir Allen doesn't need us to worry about him. That's all, that's the end of this matter."
Then he said to Mace: "Go and invite Miss Vera here."
The butler opened the door and left, and Edward stood aside gracefully. He is no longer the protagonist on the next stage, so there is no need to steal Vera's limelight. He stood next to Graal, lowered his voice and said, "Such a clumsy idea must have been written by you, Lord Graal. I have heard Lord Allen mention you, but I didn't expect that you are worse than what Lord Allen described. A hundred times stupid. Sir Graal, the next era will be Lord Allen's stage. I advise you not to do unnecessary things, otherwise, you will not even be qualified to be an audience."
"You!" Graal trembled all over, turning his head and glaring.
However, the golden light cast from Edward's pupils shot deeply into his eyes, making him dazzled for a while. Then the door opened and Vera arrived.
