When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 702: Reunion at Windmill Land

"Armand?!"

After seeing who was in the room, Rufair couldn't help but blurt out something, but she immediately covered her mouth.

In the meeting room filled with the scent of old wood, there are several exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, each of which is from a famous artist.

On the wooden table in the middle were scattered several manuscripts and the just-completed printing samples of "Yilin". The edges of the papers had been turned over and were slightly curled.

Next to the table, an incense burner with lit incense was slowly emitting smoke, and curved lines were floating in the air. Standing next to the smoke, wearing a black robe, was Armand, with a smile on his face.

"long time no see……"

The door closed with a click. Rufaire ignored Armand and hurried to the window, closing the outer glass window and the blinds, leaving only a few rays of winter sunlight into the room.

Then she opened the door again and whispered to the people outside: "Don't disturb me unless it's important."

As the door closed again, the dimly lit room seemed to become quiet all of a sudden, leaving only the crackling sound of the burning wood in the fireplace.

Rufaire's breathing echoed in the dim light. She took a deep breath and locked her eyes with Armand. "Why did you come to the windmill field by yourself? Don't you know that you are a wanted criminal by the Northern Church?"

"How much?" Armand asked immediately with great interest.

"2000 gold pounds! Is this a question of how much money it is? If you're okay, go back quickly." Rufair stared at him with both joy and anger.

"Who said I'm fine? I came here with a mission." Armand was not panicked at all. He even crossed his legs and took a sip of Lufel's high-end black tea before slowly speaking, "The first is to develop the Holy Fathers Association in Windmill Land, and the second is to be the host and promoter of the Thousand River Valley White Sugar Trade War."

"You came to the windmill land to develop the Holy Father Church?"

After the end of the Black Snake Bay War and the completion of the centurionization of the Thousand River Valley, at the Imperial Cardinals' Conference in July, Armand, who had just returned from presiding over the centurionization, proposed a missionary plan.

To be precise, Armand believed that in the face of the invasion of the Leias, they should fight out and seize the initiative instead of hiding in the Thousand River Valley and waiting for them to come.

The concept of the Holy Axis will naturally attract radical citizens and intellectuals from all over the world. If they can be organized, it will bring considerable benefits both in terms of intelligence and politics.

Due to the Leia Civil War and the north-south division of the church, the domestic control of the Leia Kingdom declined. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Holy Word Sect's missionary work, the Holy Father's Church was established at the grassroots level of the kingdom.

There is no need to reach the level of a hundred-household district. Even if it can reach the level of the Juano faction in Cassia County, it will be enough to bring immeasurable advantages.

"So, we sent missionaries and investigators to the four main directions: Fairy Rock, Dawn Island, River Island, and Windmill Land." Armand looked at the map of the empire on the wall. "These four places are close to the Nauan River, which is convenient for transferring and transporting propaganda materials. Once the basic Father Worship organizations are completed, Pravda and various theological pamphlets will be spread through these Father Worship organizations."

After being criticized as a "Holy Word newspaper", Yilin has recently reduced the publication of Holy Word theological articles.

But the previous "Yilin" has already attracted a large number of citizens. After all, if they accept this theological narrative, they will no longer have to fear not going to heaven or being criticized.

The Holy Way sect repaired a lot of the traditional theological loopholes, which made many monks regard it as a guiding principle. Armand organized the Holy Father Worship Society in the windmill land and had a believer base. Ruffield listened to Armand's narration, and felt a sense of indignation while being puzzled: "Why did you have to come? It's too dangerous for you to be here!"

"The Windmill Land is an important commercial center, and it is very similar to the Holy Way Sect in terms of form and ideology. It is the main target of this strategic activity." Armand flipped through the manuscripts on the table. "Besides, if the top leaders don't go, who will be willing to go?"

Looking at Rufaire's frowning brows, Armand stood up and walked closer to Rufaire: "Could it be that in the windmill land, such a big Larkin family can't protect a weak and humble little priest like me?"

Rufair was stunned, and subconsciously a look of suspicion suddenly appeared on her face, but she soon realized that this expression was inappropriate. She immediately wanted to pretend to be righteous, but she couldn't do it.

Seeing Rufaire's facial muscles uncontrollably showing an expression like an artist, Armand reached out and poked her face: "Do you have a facial cramp?"

Rufaire slapped Armand's hand away and glared at him: "Why don't you try touching my face again?"

Armand quickly raised his hands: "Woo woo woo, just a joke, I thought our friendship had reached this point. If you don't like it, I apologize and I won't touch you next time."

"Who cares?" Rufel suddenly turned around angrily, took two quick steps to the table, picked up the new issue of Pravda and covered his face with it.

The content of the newspaper was a bit messy, but it quickly caught her attention.

There were basically three main contents on the newspaper headlines. The first was that the Thousand River Valley had been completely transformed into a 100-household district, Juanno's posthumous work revealed the dark history of the church, and the sugar factory had expanded again.

Although the last content was brief, it immediately attracted Rufair's attention.

“…Currently, there are 30 sugar-making workshops, and we have raised enough funds in Hongye Hill. We plan to expand the number of sugar-making workshops to 45 by the beginning of next spring…”

"...On the afternoon of the 7th, the great leader, Holy Sun, the Holy Axis, the Sun Pope, Patriarch Horn, visited the sugar-making workshop. The head of the industrial zone told Holy Sun that the monthly output reached 300 tons. His Majesty made important instructions that there must be sugar in the sugar pool..."

"300 tons, 300 tons." After calming down, Rufaire put down the newspaper and asked Armand unhappily, "When will your sugar be delivered? I have been saying for you that the price of sugar will drop for three months, but now it has not dropped. People scold me every day, and the credibility of my Yilin has dropped."

Armand smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice: "This is part of the plan..."

"Then tell me a date." Rufeel interrupted unceremoniously.

Armand coughed awkwardly. "Wait a minute. Her Excellency Catherine is still discussing this with those El bankers and oligarchs. This matter must be kept secret."

Rufair pursed his lips: "I hope my Yilin will not go bankrupt before then... Never mind, where do you live?"

"The Pier Hotel."

Rufell immediately showed a look of disdain: "I have a garden villa by the canal in the suburbs of the city. You can move in. The pier hotel is crowded with people, and escaping from the canal will not be slower than escaping from the pier."

"As expected of the eldest daughter of the Larkin family," Armand pretended to bow to Ruffier, "Then I will obey your command."
