Chapter 584: Clumsy
"Sir Edward is really ...... Be faithful. Giles smirked.
Edward bowed, "Yes, this is the duty of every vassal. He paused, and then said, "In addition to meeting Lord Gilles, there are two other things I would like to ask the Earl for your help this time. โ
Giles sat up straight, spread his hands, and said, "You say." โ
"The first thing is about Sir Allen, and now Lord Allen's territory, combat power, and military strength have reached the standard of the Imperial Viscount. Therefore, Sir Allen has entrusted me with the request of the Earl to submit an application for the qualification examination to the District Inspectorate on his behalf, and Lord Allen hopes to obtain the certification of the Viscount as soon as possible. He's been in the position of baron for too long, and it's time to bring it up, I don't know what the Earl thinks? โ
Gilles was stunned and glanced at Gral. The latter didn't seem to have thought about this question either, and couldn't give the count a response for a while. Under Edward's inquiring gaze, Gilles could only smile dryly: "This is as it should be, with Sir Allen's current strength, it is indeed not an exaggeration to be promoted to viscount." This matter can be covered by me, and I will have an application drafted and submitted to the local supervisory court tomorrow at the latest. โ
Edward bowed deeply: "Thank you very much, Lord Allen will be very happy to hear this news." โ
"It's a gesture. As easy as lifting a finger. Giles nodded, "What about the second thing?" โ
"The second is just a small thing." Edward smiled indifferently: "In our frontier lands, a new church has sprung up. Sir Allen himself was a believer in this church, and he believed that faith in this church helped to strengthen his purpose and faith. Now, Sir Allen's territory has grown to the neighborhoods of Ark Harbor, so now, Lord Allen, I hope that the Earl will allow this church to preach in places like Ark Harbor and Dawning Castle. โ
"Oh, there's such a thing? Even people like Sir Allen are their followers, it seems that this church is very interesting, what is its name? Giles asked curiously.
"Christianity." Edward named a church that had never been preached in the Empire: "The gods they believe in are God Almighty. โ
"God Almighty?" Glaal laughed: "This is nothing new, don't the gods of all sects claim to be omnipotent?" โ
That's true, but Christianity is a little different. For it has a messenger of the gods who walks on earth, and God has her eyes and gives warnings to mortals about the future. Edward pretended to be mysterious, and said, "That Miss Vera, until now the prophecy she has made has never been in vain. The Count only needs to send someone to the frontier to inquire a little, and it will be known. โ
Glaal obviously didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "This kind of method has been used by churches before. It was later proven to be fake, and it angered the Imperial Supreme, and there are many examples of being burned at the stake. โ
"Whether it's true or not, time will naturally prove it."
"I don't think it will take time to prove that Miss Vera will let that Miss Vera in. If she can foreshadow the future of me or the Earl, then it would be fine for any Christianity to preach in the realm. Graar waved his hand.
Edward looked at him deeply and said, "Will Lord Graar's words be a substitute for Lord Earl's decision?" โ
Grearton shuddered, just now he got carried away, forgetting that Gilles was no longer the boy he used to be, but a dignified Earl. When he said that, he was indeed a bit of a deviant. He looked at Gilles, and sure enough, the young earl's eyes flashed with displeasure. The two of them looked like this, and fell into Edward's eyes, and he took a qiฤ in his eyes, and he had some understanding of Gilles's temperament.
Looking at Edward again, Glar's eyes changed slightly. From the moment Edward stepped into the study just now, seeing that he was younger than Alan, Glaal didn't take him too seriously. Now that Edward has caught the handle he accidentally fell and provoked his relationship with Gilles, he knows that this young man is not simple. He and Alan are not the same kind of people at all, and Allen's difficulty lies in the powerful power he controls, whether it is personal combat power, the strength of his core team, or those elite special armies, each of which is not too strong to be a mess. Therefore, he acted vigorously and straightforwardly, without taking into account the thoughts of a person with no real power like Gral, and was simple and rude; Edward took a different route, a seemingly weak teenager who was good at seizing opportunities and quietly dropping a trap in a few words. Dealing with this kind of person, if you don't mention the spirit of twelve, I'm afraid that he will still be in the dark if he falls for his plan.
Then Gilles coughed dryly and said, "I am also very interested in this Miss Vera, but not as harsh as Sir Glar said. There is no sect in the Ark Harbor at present, and if this Christ has real talents and teachings that lead people to goodness, it is not impossible for them to preach and spread in their territory. But until then, I would like to ask Miss Vera to foretell me that this magical young lady may be with Sir or two. โ
Edward nodded and said, "She and Father Mirรณ are in the living room, Miss Vera is the holy daughter of the Church, and Father Mirรณ is...... Pope. โ
Although Mirรณ is the presiding officer of the church, with the current size of the church, he is not even a bishop, so he has always called himself a priest and has no title. Now that he wanted to gain a foothold in Ark Harbor and that the church would continue to expand in the future, Edward simply decided the title for him now, so as to save controversy later.
It's just that Gilles has a very vague concept of the Pope, and he didn't ask, just nodded half-understandingly. With this nod, he recognized Father Miro's priesthood, and it was much easier for the church to act in the future. Glaal next to him sighed in his heart, Gilles was still too young. Provoked by Edward slightly, he denied his own construction, in order to establish his majesty as an earl. He gritted his teeth, thinking that it was better to push out the previous plan as soon as possible, so as not to let Edward continue to talk about it, but he was afraid that Gilles would become less and less fond of him.
Alan is an invincible commander on the battlefield, but the Edward in front of him is a first-class lobbyist in the officialdom. His mouth was no worse than Allen's appearance on the battlefield. The two of them actually got together, and Glar only found this combination to be a headache. Fortunately, Alan is not here now, and they lack strong force support, so it will be much more beneficial to the plan they launched.
Graal coughed dryly, looked at Gilles with a smile on his face, and said, "Lord Earl, didn't you just say that you had something to discuss with Sir Edward?" โ
Giles let out an "ah", as if remembering something, and said "yes" in a hesitant manner. Edward looked at him and Glaar, and remembered the reminder of Steward Mace before, and had expected what was going to happen. didn't break it, but deliberately asked: "Lord Earl, I don't know what it is?" โ
"This, I suppose......" Gilles looked like he was about to say something, and the young earl rubbed his hands uneasily under the table, and then looked at Glaar with an inquiring gaze. The latter even glanced at him, and then Gilles stiffened his head and said: "That's the case, in view of Sir Allen's current lack of management talents, I would like to recommend a few people to Sir Edward, I believe they can help Sir Allen look at such a large territory." โ
After a pause, he said to Grar, "Is that so, Viscount? โ
Glar secretly cursed in his heart for being stupid, and Gilles asked, did he come up with the idea of not telling Edward? Sure enough, Edward looked at him with a smile on his face, and Graal hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, that's the plan you decided on earlier. I've referred to it for you, and it's definitely going to work, and it's for Sir Allen's good. โ
"I see." Edward was calm, he didn't know that Glar's idea was to install his own people within them. This is a good move, and these chess pieces can act as their eyes and ears, no matter how poor they are. And if Alan or Edward are incompetent, these pawns can develop their own power and thus silently seize power from within Allen. It's a good idea, but it's just too much to take for granted.
Edward bowed, "Thank you Count for thinking about Lord Alan, but I don't think the Count needs to worry too much about this." Now that I'm here, there's no problem managing the territory. Lord Allen trusted me to take charge of the territory on his behalf. โ
Before Gilles could say anything, Glaal had already sneered: "Sir Edward is too conceited, you don't even know who the Earl wants to recommend, so you refuse." Did Sir Edward think that he alone could outperform the Earl's recommendation? โ
"Why not?" Edward straightened up, his pupils turned from light blue to platinum, revealing a compelling essence: "No matter how much mediocrity there is, what's the use." To manage the territory, I am enough alone. What's more, if I couldn't manage even a small viscount, Lord Allen would have kicked me out long ago. โ
This sentence was so arrogant that Gral was speechless for a long time, and Giles was also suppressed by Edward's overflowing confidence. After a while, he said to Gral, "You see, I'll say that Sir Alan doesn't need us to worry about him. Alright, that's the end of it. โ
Then he said to Mace, "Go and get Miss Vera." โ
The butler pushed the door and left, and Edward stood aside gracefully. In the next stage, he is no longer the protagonist, so he can't steal the limelight from Vera. He stood next to Glar, lowered his voice, and said, "Such a clumsy idea must be the work of you, Lord Gral, I have heard Lord Allen mention you, but I did not expect that you are a hundred times more stupid than Lord Allen described. Sir Glar, the next era was the stage for Lord Allen. I advise you not to do anything superfluous, otherwise, you will not even be qualified to be a spectator. โ
"You!" Glaal shuddered and turned his head to glare.
However, the golden light that shot from Edward's eyes shot deep into his eyes, making him dizzy. Just then the door opened, and Vera arrived.
