Episode 80
##080
The Going Misha moved inland along the river against the current.
A magnificent harbor was built at the location where the river flowing from the upper stream descended.
shaaa.
When the Going Missha appeared in the distance, people began to flock to the pier.
oh oh oh!!!
From the slaves rescued by Lian to the citizens living in the city and the reporters, they were engulfed in phosphates.
A reporter climbed dangerously high on a building to capture Lian’s image.
Chow ah! thud.
As the ship reached the dock, Lian shouted to the crowd.
“Ahh. thank you god Everyone has arrived safely. Now that I have seen you all safe, I will leave.”
However, he did not get off the ship.
Naturally, people thought they would get off and go straight to the Vatican to meet the Pope.
Surprised reporters gather around shouting.
“Your Excellency Count Leon!!! I would like to do an interview.”
“Please give me a moment!”
“The people of the Yul Continent want to know more about your Excellency’s achievements.”
Then, Lian took down the board of the Going Missha and put it down at the pier.
“thank you. Your Excellency Count!!”
Reporters rushed over the ship.
But besides them, there were also people who wanted to meet Lian.
“Your Excellency Count!! I am the representative of the slaves Your Excellency saved. I would like to express my gratitude.”
“You guys also come up.”
At Lian’s words, some slave representatives who were saved by Lian also boarded the Going Misha.
In fact, they had something to sort out with Lian.
This was because the eight ships contained various plundered goods in addition to slaves.
With my daughter~ With my daughter~
at that time. The sound of bells resounding in the distance.
People from the Vatican appeared cutting through the crowd.
The white and gold embroidered robes made people naturally get out of the way.
“I’m here to see Count Lian Leon.”
“Go up this way.”
People from the Holy See were also invited to the Going Missha.
Of course, Lian was greeted not in a private room, but on the deck where everyone could watch.
Right now, the Vatican must be boiling inside.
I even dispatched a fleet to kill him, but he came back with a lot of credit.
Thanks to that, the security of the Holy See was temporarily paralyzed, and it was difficult to deal with Lian because of the outside gaze.
Rather, the plate should give the award to Lian.
At worst, he was even thinking of becoming an honorary paladin.
“You have done a great job. Count Leon.”
“What. I just did what I had to do. hehehe.”
The cardinal had a gentle smile on his face, but his insides were bubbling.
that is inevitable.
Click click!!
Reporters diligently recorded the meeting of the two with their cameras.
It will soon spread across the continent.
“His Holiness is waiting for you. Wouldn’t it be nice to meet you since you came all the way here?”
“How dare I enter the Vatican with a bloodstained body?”
“It is the blood of the pagans, and God will bless it.”
Lian shook her head.
I wouldn’t do anything particularly bad because of people’s attention, but I still don’t know.
“It is rather dirty blood. And now I heard that war clouds are hanging over my maternal grandfather’s land.”
“It will take a few days. His Holiness is going to bestow the title of honorary paladin on Count Leon.”
Lian was a little tempted, but had to leave immediately after Seina’s brother was rescued.
Getting the timing right is difficult.
Besides that, we don’t know when the Pope’s fleet will arrive.
By now, they would be fighting against the Oth Empire’s fleet for a long time, but it would never end again.
You must leave before they arrive.
You don’t know what insidious tricks the papal court will use.
“Because I still lack training, I am not enough to become a servant who practices the word of God.”
“If the Count doesn’t become an honorary paladin, who will… … .”
“Rather than that, would you accept this?! I would like to dedicate it to His Holiness as it is not something I would dare to own.”
Lian suddenly made a big move and took something out of her bosom.
Looking around, the attention of the reporters was focused.
‘This is it.’
Some also show high-performance cameras.
The girl nicknamed Nine Fingers was better than I thought.
I never thought I would be able to implement fakes well up to this point.
Swoop.
Rian got down on one knee and put her hands together to support her.
“It is an artifact from the fountain there. It seemed like something that had a lot of meaning to them.”
“Ahh. something so precious… … .”
In fact, even the cardinal who was swearing inwardly was surprised.
He gave his personal spoils to the Holy See.
With something like this, I could earn enough money to buy a castle… … .
‘Is this what the pagans were looking for?’
Even the cardinal couldn’t just accept the unusual object.
He hurriedly untied the long red scarf that had hung around his neck and folded it.
flutter!
After folding it in half, he induced Lian to carefully put the necklace he had donated onto it.
Sometimes the relics of the pagans overlapped with their own relics.
In fact, it was just a difference in the way they believed. Believing in the same God was something high-ranking priests knew but pretended not to know.
A division has already occurred within the Yul Continent.
“Ohhh!!”
Reporters also admired the halo coming out of the object.
In fact, I mixed some of the box ingredients that were contained when I found it in a fake necklace.
It was a natural reaction to the energy of the cardinal.
Contrary to appearances, there was no power.
“It is something that really excites admiration. Also, I’ve never seen a pattern like this before. Studying this will be of great help in interpreting Lord Zhu’s words.”
The cardinal was so happy that he forgot that they were against each other.
Rather, they are misunderstanding. I wondered if Rian was a sincere believer.
The war god bishop was also saved by chance.
“Cardinal. Can I ask you a favor?!”
“Anything I can listen to.”
He was willing to listen to anything he could.
“Can I take two of the eight heathen ships? With no oars running.”
It is said that the Vatican is managing the ships, but in fact, there is nothing to say even if Lian takes all eight ships.
In a way, it was no different from Lian’s spoils. It is no different from lending it to slaves.
“It’s not difficult. Count Leon.”
I thought I would take all eight, but it was surprising that there were two.
The cardinal turned to the slave representatives.
Because they carried it.
“We will obey the will of our hero, His Excellency the Count.”
“thank you. I’d like to leave the other five ships to you. Also the stuff inside it. The road home will be difficult.”
At that, the representatives of the slaves were moved.
In fact, even selling the pagans captured from Tunis as slaves would provide enough money for travel.
It is highly likely that their hometown was devastated by pagan pirates.
Even if you go back, you will have to worry about making a living.
Everyone here knew that even that was taken into account.
“Count Leon. Even if you are busy, could you wait here for a while?”
said the cardinal urgently.
There are not a few credits made by Lian, and even these items are dedicated, but sending them as they are is a problem for the Vatican’s face.
The third parties saw that he had left without seeing the pope, and did not consider it impolite. I will humbly evaluate Lian who left for refusing compensation.
“For what? Cardinal.”
“I will bring His Holiness. How about being ordained an honorary paladin, albeit briefly? I don’t think it’s bad to do it here while so many people have gathered.”
Ryan pondered for a moment.
What is the difference between Honor Paladin and Normal Paladin?
It’s a duty and a right.
The Honor Paladin has no responsibilities.
Because it literally means ‘honor’.
first. Once you go to any country, you can be recognized.
This is because the honorary paladin was a title that could only be obtained by participating in the holy war.
For this title, countless knights had to lose their fortunes and lives in the crusade.
It is the highest honor to prove oneself as a knight.
second. You can receive 1,000 pennies of activity expenses and various support wherever you go to a parish in any region.
At worst, he could walk all over the Yul Continent and walk like a tax.
The maximum cost a parish can receive is 1,000 pennies.
From the standpoint of the denomination, existence alone is publicity, so it was actively recommended.
Think of it as a kind of model cost.
The third had the authority to inspect churches.
It may be considered unfavorable to the Church, but it was not.
It was because his faith was not normal enough to become an honorary paladin.
If it wasn’t for this hot-blooded honor paladin, the church might have already been rotten and ruined.
He does not rebel against the Church, and does not covet the Church’s power. It wasn’t bad to purify the church alone.
“If Gyoha comes out in person, we have no choice but to wait.”
Ryan was a little uneasy.
No matter how unusual metals were mixed, the counterfeit might be exposed.
It was also a problem if the rescue operation ended too soon.
“While you wait, I will replenish supplies. Of course, the cost will be borne by the Holy See.”
He talked as if he was generous, but the reward was poor compared to what he received.
That is, if the necklace is genuine.
‘It’s difficult to come to catch me because I’m caught too soon… … .’
As the cardinal left, reporters began to bombard them with questions.
-How did you become the son-in-law of the Synsenrom Empire?!
“I just want to say thank you. A small person like me dares to be the son-in-law of the Sinsenrom Empire.”
The reporter looked disappointed at Rian’s answer.
As old as she is, she should be excited and talk nonsense, but she wasn’t at all.
A more mature response than an adult.
-I heard that you played a big role in the naval battle between Serang and Ingleson. I’d love to hear specifics.
Then another reporter changed the subject and asked a question.
It seems that information exchange is faster than expected, and now news of the naval battle between the Thrang Empire and the Ingleson Kingdom seems to have been leaked.
“I have nothing to say. I just participated as a mercenary and I am obliged to keep it a secret.”
– You said you single-handedly seized the communication line of the Serang Empire, is that true?
“He also has nothing to say. As I said, it will be known when the war is over.”
Fans of journalists do not care even if they are aristocrats or even kings.
Controlling the media has never been easier. Even if it was possible, it would cost a lot of money.
Moreover, since there are many people whose nationalities are ambiguous, you can’t even get your money’s worth if you mess with them.
but.
“You are an honorable nobleman who keeps his oath despite his young age. I respect you. Your Excellency Count!”
Their eyes were covered with bean pods.
That’s why he single-handedly entered a place teeming with pagans and rescued the slaves.
In this process, all risks and costs are borne by yourself.
Obviously, the sailors will have to pay a lot of gratuities.
If not, dissatisfaction will build up.
Nevertheless, they only took two ships and the booty from them.
From nob le mt l. com
Journalists probably think they haven’t even gotten their money’s worth.
Because it was an act that never made sense.
Moreover, the sacred objects obtained there were also supported.
If you touch such a faithful young genius, there may be a backlash.
If you don’t, you might be stoned to death… … .
“Do you know what the offering to His Holiness is?!”
Now another reporter asked.
Coming this far, not everyone was expecting much.
Because Lian’s existence alone was enough for an article.
However, the moment I thought that if it was a little more stimulating, it would be good to sell articles.
A bombshell came out of Ryan’s mouth.
“The Spear of Longirus. And the king’s chamber.”
-… … ?!
-… … !!!!
-… … !!!!!!!
A legendary weapon that can annihilate any city at once if you set your mind to it.
Fear itself that does not allow resistance itself.
The ultimate weapon of God that is said to exist in the secret room of the Great Pyramid in the realm of the Oth Empire.
Everyone snorted when they said that the Otto Empire was looking for the key.
How did you believe in something like a child’s fairy tale and pour it into the national budget?
But if what Lian said is true… The key to the end entered the Holy See.
