Chapter 179 Cathedral
Elvis rode a carriage all the way to the cathedral in the city center.
This church looks very new from the outside. In order to match the growing influence of the Corner League, the church spent a huge amount of money to build this magnificent church next to the central square in Nisburg. of buildings.
Compared with the old church located in the east side of the city, in addition to being more ornate, this new church occupies a wider area and is also higher. Its tallest building, the bell tower, is even taller than the Confederate The golden tower, the government building used for the Council's offices, is even taller. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of people, a hanging basket is installed in the big bell tower.
It won’t be long before Nisborg’s landmark building changes from the golden tower to this cathedral.
Elvis got off the carriage and came to the door of the church, where he found a reward notice posted nearby for clues to find Dame Fanny.
He shook his head mockingly.
"Huh! You wouldn't have thought that the person you have spent so much effort looking for is in this church in the city center."
He continued to walk into the cathedral, meeting people along the way. The monks and believers who arrived saluted him one after another, and Elvis returned the salute one by one, showing no trace of the arrogance he had shown in the embassy just now.
An emerald-green bird flew up from his carriage. It circled around the door of the sitting hall, as if hesitating whether to fly in through the door.
It turned to the side of the cathedral and found that the windows on the wall were all open. Just when it was about to choose a window and fly in, Elvis walked out from a small door next to it.
He turned around and walked towards the courtyard behind the church.
The bird turned around and flew towards the courtyard behind.
Bishop Elvis seemed to be in a good mood. He walked briskly into the courtyard. The layout was quite elegant, with flowers and plants planted all over the ground. It was for the clergy in the church to take a walk after meals and cultivate their body and mind. place.
The bishop soon found the person he was looking for. A man also dressed in clerical clothing was feeding the birds in the courtyard. He was holding a small box full of grains in his hand.
A large group of birds of various colors surrounded him, chirping and pecking at the grains he scattered on the ground from time to time.
Elvis said with a smile: "Sir Anthony, I can't find you in there, so I guess you are most likely feeding the birds here again."
The other party did not look back. , still looking at the birds all over the ground. Strangely enough, these birds were not afraid of him.
"How did the Grand Duchess react?"
"Huh! He said he wanted to consider it, and I gave him a deadline. If she hasn't agreed to our conditions by this time tomorrow, then let's Their family was in ruins.”
"Oh, you really don't care about women at all. I heard that Her Royal Highness Helen is a well-known beauty in Cape Bay."
Elvis frowned. Such frivolous words should not come from a priest. mouth of personnel.
But the other party is a special envoy from the Holy City, and he does not want to make the relationship tense.
“For the glory of my Lord, I will find a way to overcome every difficulty in my path, whether physical or spiritual.”
Converted by the man he called Anthony He came over and said in an admiring tone: "You are indeed Lord Elvis. With a pious and capable bishop like you sitting in Cape Bay, the glory of our Lord will surely shine on everyone here."
< br>
Elvis puffed out his chest and accepted the compliment calmly, but he still had to be modest.
"No, no, if it weren't for the information brought by Mr. Anthony, I would still be in the dark about the little tricks of the Alliance Council. I'm ashamed to say that they were making little moves right under my nose, and I actually I didn’t notice it.”
“Alas~” Anthony sighed.
Elvis was a little confused, "Why do you sigh?"
Anthony looked sad and angry.
"I'm sighing. There are devout servants of God like you in this place who are dedicated to spreading the glory of the Lord, but there are actually a lot of people in the Holy City who are holding back." "Are... holding back? What do you mean? ?”
“It’s hard to put into words!” Anthony’s expression seemed to be apologetic for Elvis.
“There will always be such villains around His Majesty the Pope. They are critical of the witch-hunting campaign launched by Horn Bay and always accuse you of bringing unnecessary trouble to the church.”< br>
A look of hatred quickly appeared on Elvis's face.
"Shameful traitors! Shameful heretics! They should all be tied to the rack and burned alive!"
In Elvis's heart, people labeled with these two labels are more important than heretics and unbelievers. What's even more hateful is that these guys don't know what to do and will stab you in the back.
Anthony added fuel to the fire: "What's more, some clergy proposed to 'rehabilitate' the wizards. The reason is that it is not recorded in the holy scriptures that every wizard is evil. ..."
"Father in Heaven! O Lord Almighty!"
Elvis shouted in horror, his whole body began to tremble because of his extreme anger. .
The bishop pointed a finger at Anthony.
"You...what have you guys been doing all day? Why do you allow such nonsense people to stay in the Holy City? Why do you allow them to live in the world?"
Seeing that the bishop was about to lose his balance, Anthony immediately stepped forward to support him.
"Lord Elvis, we are also powerless. The situation in the Holy City...how should I put it, is a bit complicated, especially that Ming Li, who engages in some messy heresies every day, and today's Pope Your Majesty is a tolerant person..."
"Humph!"
Elvis snorted coldly, not sure if he was dissatisfied with the heretics in the Holy City or with the Pope.
Anthony whispered in his ear: "We are now eagerly looking forward to an extremely pious saint coming to the Holy City to preside over the overall situation!"
Elvis heard what the other person said. He said something, and he looked at Anthony with an inquiring look.
Anthony smiled and whispered: "The Archbishop of Corner Bay is old and will soon have to arrange a successor. Has Lord Elvis ever had any thoughts in this regard?"
"I..."
Elvis suddenly started to stutter a little.
“If I can better serve the Lord of Light, of course I will work tirelessly.”
“Then it will be hard work for Mr. Elvis. To tell you the truth, I will work hard this time. I have been tasked with secretly inspecting the bishops from all over the Cape Bay and reporting their conduct to the Holy Capital Headquarters. Therefore, I can still say something about personnel arrangements in this area."
This was more than enough words, Elvis' heart suddenly exploded.
"Sir Anthony... No, Lord Anthony, you..."
Anthony waved his hand.
"Don't do any unnecessary things. I just like the piety in your heart! Please do your best within the scope of your current responsibilities."
"I swear! "Elvis looked solemn and raised his right hand.
“I will spread the glory of the Lord into the hearts of every Jiaowan person, and I will eradicate all the filth in Jiaowan!”
