Chapter 1941 Recruitment
Priesthood Hall.
The Great Emperor Lancelot would appear here every morning and have a two-hour early morning carnival with the priests.
The only way to wake up people who sleep late is to ask them to play.
Only today, several old priests were worried and absent-minded when playing. Even the best wine sent as tribute from the Kingdom of Tania was not in the mood to drink anymore.
"Lord Ix, Lord Drizzt...you don't seem to be interested? Are some of the tributes not exquisite enough?" His Majesty the Great Emperor asked kindly.
More caring than caring about his own mother.
"No, Your Majesty, everything is the best in the world. What we are worried about is because we received a piece of information..." Ix quickly bowed in greeting, and then said that the summoned object was killed and upgraded. Something that cannot be done.
They also made relevant responses, but they were too passive.
Lancelot nodded.
He already knew this information.
Now it seems that there are always some sober people among the clergy.
This is the core that I really want to win over and rely on.
There are more than 5,000 people, and he can only be closest to and directly control 100 people. This is the most, and he will not be happy if he has more.
"Oh, that's it. I've ordered the hookers to investigate, and they got the news that two children of the old nobles were in charge of this behind the scenes..." Lancelot said with a smile, Everything seems to be in his hands.
"In that case, why didn't His Majesty the Emperor arrest and execute them immediately?" Ix asked hurriedly.
“Oh, Lord Ix, what do you think is the real threat to our clergy?” Lancelot asked.
"Of course they are the old nobles who have always wanted to fight back," Ix replied subconsciously, and then saw His Majesty shaking his head, and quickly changed his words, "There are also those untouchables, tramps, and those in the depths of the ocean who want to turn over. Unknown threats, and the long-lost demonic tide..."
"No, it's our own greed," Lancelot said slowly.
Ix touched his white hair and fell silent.
The priesthood brings them endless energy, making aging only a BUFF, but they can still walk fast with the blessing of high attributes.
But if the aging BUFF turns into a death BUFF, no matter how high the attributes or the level, it will not help.
He also wants youth, which is his own greed, and he even did some shameful things for this purpose.
"God's grace is limited, Your Majesty." Ix whispered.
“Yes, you should not be too greedy. Even emperors often died of greed. In order to gain a longer life, they squandered their original life on all kinds of strange herbs. "Lancelot sighed.
"Understood, Your Majesty, I will persuade our brothers and let them always remember to control their greed." Ix replied cautiously.
Lancelot nodded.
He did not tell his true intentions.
Because his intentions are invisible to others.
Of course he would not think that just two untouchables could be more powerful than his priests.
Divine grace is limited and will fade, of course because the demonic tide subsides.
Of course God’s messenger does not need to stay any longer.
But what if the demonic tide appears again?
"But what should we do with the two children of the old nobles?"
Lancelot could not reveal his thoughts, he smiled and said: "Those two children were originally innocent. We Brother, a priest, driven by greed, could not control his anger, ignored justice, and made wrong decisions.”
"I see, that's why you chose to pardon them, hoping that they would return from their lost ways." Ix thought he understood His Majesty the Emperor's intentions, and quickly praised, "You are so kind, you are our eternal beacon, our eternal beacon. Your Majesty."
"Okay, go down, I will let others handle this matter." Lancelot nodded.
…………
In the forest.
"His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that he has reprimanded the priest brother who harmed you, and granted you the status of free citizens, as long as you pay a separate tribute of 50,000 red-eyed mice to the royal family every year." Palace Eunuch , holding a document and speaking arrogantly to the brother and sister.
Judging from his appearance, this emperor's will is the supreme favor.
If it seems to others, it is indeed the case.
After all, two children of the old aristocracy chose to rebel just because of a little grievance, and actually killed so many noble clergy summons. They should be roasted to death with an iron bull.
And now, to be pardoned and become a free citizen, what a kindness it is!
But in the eyes of the big mouse, this is contempt!
Look, how merciful I am. Not only did I not hold you accountable for your sins, I also reluctantly said a few words to my brother. You should be grateful and continue to do the work of raising rats! What kind of free people, just another name, paying tribute of 50,000 animals every year, isn't this the same job as the previous rat farmers?
Damn it!
He lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
Weir was worried about his brother's anger.
However, the elder brother suddenly raised his head, put on his most beautiful smile and the most comfortable expression, respectfully took the document from the eunuch's hand, and carefully put it into his arms.
"Thank you, the just, great and noble Emperor, for your brilliance..."
The eunuch nodded repeatedly with his flattery.
The dozens of pieces of gold and silver jewelry and expensive gold and silverware that followed made him smile even more.
Even though there was some faint blood stains on it, he turned a blind eye.
"Next time, it should be cleaner. By the way, this is one of my addresses." The eunuch hinted, and then handed the other party a note.
The big mouse immediately took it carefully and placed it further inside than His Majesty's document.
The eunuch smiled, he was indeed from an old noble family and he was sensible.
Others are reluctant to come close to them for fear of being eaten by them with rats or being infected by the demonic plague.
And he himself chose to come and issue the decree because he understood that they must know how to make the choice.
Now it seems he did the right thing.
The eunuch sat satisfied and left in the carriage.
After he left, the big mouse took out the emperor's document...
He tore it into three parts and stamped it hard on the ground, letting the mouse eat all the pieces. Go down...
Of course it was all his imagination. In fact, he did nothing but memorize every word carefully.
This is a protective talisman.
It seems that I have a huge responsibility on my shoulders, but in fact, if I use it well, it is also a huge power.
He came to a nearby noble manor.
"I want a piece of land of six hundred acres, and I want it today."
As he said that, he showed the document.
The nobleman here is a count, who lives his life carefully every day.
He has known this for a long time.
“I am a rat breeder for His Majesty the Emperor!”
The document was true, but the earl felt sorry for the land and couldn’t help but question: “There is nothing in this document that says... Let me provide the land."
"Well, when I can't get 50,000 rats, I will die, but I will say before I die that it is because you refuse to provide the land." The mouse smiled.
When the count heard this, he almost jumped up with hatred.
How unlucky he is to be blackmailed!
He didn’t know that he was actually carefully selected by the big mouse.
The other party has a lot of land, and it has been cared about by several priests. However, the priests have to live in the temple, and they cannot enjoy it if there is too much land. In addition, he worships it carefully. The matter was put on hold for the time being.
By taking away the other party's land, he also moved the target for the other party.
In the end, the earl compromised and transferred to him the land that the clergy was eyeing.
And cursed him viciously, saying that he would be beaten into scum by the priests.
Unfortunately, the big mouse is not afraid of this at all.
Because he knew that as long as the red-eyed mouse was around, the priest would never do that.
