Chapter 22 Rejection
Linda was already emotional, and the wet corners of her eyes were even more charming.
She was completely depressed.
As long as the Governor nods, she is willing to do anything.
Looking at Linda's appearance, Ron swallowed and couldn't help it.
In broad daylight, it is simply tempting to commit crimes!
Linda's eyes were straight and she looked concerned about Ron: "Sir, are you feeling unwell? I will accompany you back to your room."
Ron frowned and asked knowingly. Right?
If I really follow you into the room, the situation will be difficult to control.
He took another look.
Hiss~ It’s really hard to control...
Seeing that Ron didn’t agree, Linda hesitated for a while.
She gritted her teeth and said with a blush, "If you don't want to go to the room, then... you can do it here"
Huh?
Ron glanced at a row of maids standing not far away. They were looking here cautiously, their faces slightly red.
It's in public, isn't it?
Ron wanted to be impulsive, but he couldn't be impulsive.
What if I get impulsive and end up in the palace of Slaanesh again?
He must restrain his desire, at least wait until Little Sun's ability has recovered to a certain level and he has the ability to protect himself!
Seeing Ron's hesitation, Linda took action.
Phew, this is not bad!
Ron quickly held her down and comforted: "Next time!"
"Sir, did you promise me?"
Kneeling Linda raised her head , with a look of anticipation.
What magical perspective is this?
Ron couldn't restrain himself, so he made some moves, then stood up and left with satisfaction.
“I still have something to do, let’s dig deeper later!”
He does have something to do.
After leaving the Spire Mansion, Ron came to the Anglican Church under Carter's escort.
He has something important to discuss with Bishop Donny.
A few days ago, after learning that Ron had used gold and gems to decorate the God-Emperor icon, Bishop Donnie was very satisfied and his attitude toward him became much better.
This time, I went to the church door in advance to greet Ron.
"Your Excellency, Bishop, are you too polite?"
Ron got out of the car and greeted: "I have only made some insignificant contributions to His Majesty the God Emperor"
“The great God-Emperor will never forget anyone’s efforts!”
Bishop Doni had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty the Governor, let me pray for you."
He turned and walked inside.
When Ron saw this, he followed him. He didn't mean to pray.
But it’s coming, so just pray.
He followed Bishop Doni to the shrine and prayed under the guidance of the other party.
Cherubim flew around him and sang hymns.
There were also angels holding holy water and pouring it on him as if they were free of charge.
The whole church was dedicated to Ron alone.
It seems there is really no business left.
But that’s right, this church originally served the nobles and officials who came to the nest.
But in that heretical rebellion, almost all the nobles and officials who came to the nest were slaughtered.
Those who were lucky enough to survive were purged by Bayev again.
Those who can stay now probably don’t have much time to pray.
Nowadays, there are many loyal believers among the people in the territory.
But they are either in the mine or the factory at the moment, so it would be nice to have time to sleep.
There is no time to come to church.
Since I am willing to use the luxurious rest time, I want to come to the church to pray for the blessing of the God and Emperor.
Due to long-term hunger, they simply did not have the strength to walk such a long way to the church.
Even if you really have the strength, the Sacred Square is already under martial law.
They will be stopped by bailiffs and driven away.
If you are stubborn and force your way in, a beating will be considered a light punishment, and the unlucky ones may even be executed on the spot.
But that's only temporary. Everything will change in the future.
Every citizen of Eth is qualified and must be qualified to pray for the God-Emperor’s protection.
After the prayer, Ron came to Bishop Donnie and handed over the data pad, which contained documents related to the ceremony.
From the time Urth was burdened with heavy taxes to the fission of subspace now, the "Emperor's Ascension Festival" gatherings have been suspended for many years.
Now he wants to restart the "Emperor's Ascension Festival" and hold a grand ceremony on the festival day!
Ron promised to help the church rebuild its past glory in the future, and hoped that Bishop Doni would cooperate with him in the ceremony.
Based on his contacts in the past few days, he felt that the old pastor's probability of rejection was low.
Bishop Dorney carefully flipped through the text and pictures on the data pad.
To put it simply, it is the imperial version of PPT, which records the ceremony process, the attire of relevant personnel and the speeches in detail.
Of course the most important part is about Bishop Donnie, who needs to cooperate with Ron's actions.
On the "Feast of the Ascension of the Emperor", the icon of the God-Emperor will appear in its entirety and perform great miracles.
In conjunction with the grand ceremony, Bishop Donnie announced the identity of Ron's savior to everyone based on the divine revelation he received.
Afterwards, the benevolent Imperial Governor Ron Grant will appear in front of his people in the most perfect posture.
He will make promises to save people from their suffering!
That's the whole plan.
The entire plan will use most of the material reserves in Wangting District. This is a big gamble!
As he read through the pages, Bishop Doni’s expression became more and more serious.
Ron's heart was also raised: "If you have any questions, you can ask us, we will make changes and cooperate"
"I only see deception!"
Bishop Donnie held the data pad tightly and controlled his emotions: "You are deceiving the believers and trying to use the majesty of the God Emperor to gain political benefits...
What a blasphemy!"
"This is temporary, I will..."
"I will not agree!" Bishop Donnie interrupted Ron's explanation: "Go away, Your Majesty the Governor, the church will never tolerate such blasphemous behavior!"
He stuffed the data pad back into Ron's hands, turned and left with the scepter in his hand.
Under the influence of their master, the angels also stayed away from Ron and flew far away.
“At least listen to my explanation.” Ron sighed: “What’s wrong with white lies? I’m doing this for the sake of the people of the territory.”
“Lies lead to heresy, and the Emperor will not Accept any deception!”
Bishop Donnie’s stern voice came, leaving no room for negotiation.
Ron looked at the other person's back and sighed deeply.
It seems that there is no way to win the support of the church.
But the plan has already begun, and he has already asked people to spread the news: the benevolent Lord Ron Grant has been blessed by the God Emperor and will save the people from suffering.
This kind of news, coupled with the miracle sent by the God Emperor - the God Emperor's icon was restored overnight.
The inspiring effect will be multiplied.
But now he has no support from the church and may even face opposition.
The problem is troublesome...
If the church suddenly jumps out against him on the day of the ceremony, the situation will be difficult to deal with.
Ron looked at Bishop Donnie's retreating back with some helplessness.
He couldn't even be tough on the old man.
When they went to the nest to resist the army of heretical believers, it was Bishop Doni who led the priests at the forefront.
Wielding a huge power ax, he braved artillery fire and slashed his way into the enemy's rear.
In the end, an ax cut off the head of the heretic high priest who blasphemed the God Emperor.
This greatly damaged the morale of the heretics and gave the Wangting District a chance to turn defeat into victory.
For this old man, this loyal and fanatical, even somewhat radical believer in the God Emperor.
Ron really didn't want to do anything to hurt him.
He turned around and walked out of the church with a heavy face.
The Wangting District has spent so much manpower and material resources that the ceremony of the "Emperor's Ascension Festival" must continue.
The arrow must be fired when it is on the string!
Ron got on the hover car and set off back to the Spire Mansion.
If face-to-face communication fails, Plan B can only be launched.
"Since I can't convince you, let the God Emperor come!"
