Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

If you want me to pay tithes, first take the gods out for a walk...

Until this moment, Leon's words yesterday were still echoing in his ears.

But the young lord in front of him seemed to have nothing to do, and he showed his devotion to the God of Light in the banquet hall.

Obviously, even the Duke of Galicia, who was in charge, was a little surprised by this.

But Father Matthews said that Antolia has...

Your Majesty the Duke!

Leon interrupted the Duke for the first time and said righteously:

The Jimena family is a devout believer in the God of Light, and will always believe that the God of Light can lead Antolia to a better future!

Therefore, the successive generations of patriarchs of the Jimena family regard the promotion of the Hadith as their own responsibility and the spread of the faith as fundamental.

“My father, the previous Viscount of Antolia, Arthur Jimena, has told me countless times that his lifelong ideal is to build a church on the land of Antolia and make it a The people of Ya have realized the blessings of the gods!”

But Antolia is so poor! He is so poor that he can't even afford food, so how can he raise the cost to build a church?!

Father Matthews laughed angrily at Leon:

According to what the Viscount said, Antolia doesn't pay tithes because it's actually to build a church?

It's natural!

Leon's voice was steady, powerful and unwavering.

At this moment, he has a clear conscience!

What about the church? Where is the church in Antolia?! All Antolia can see is the body of Father Renato!

That's what he deserves!

Leon cursed angrily:

What is the duty of a priest? The duty of a priest is to teach church believers through words and deeds, and to be a guide for believers in the world!

Antoria's tithes have never been in arrears and are always delivered to the priest on time. But how did Renato do it?

Not only was he greedy for money in Antolia, which seriously hindered the speed of church construction in Antolia, but he also slandered devout believers like the Jimena family! How can such a person shoulder the responsibility of a priest?

If Father Matthews doesn't believe it, he will send religious knights to search Father Renato's house in Parma!

The boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry are irrefutable proof that Father Renato is greedy for tithes!

After Leon finished speaking, Father Matthews was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

It's not that he doesn't want to pick it up, it's that he can't pick it up.

Which priest in the church is not extremely rich?

That is to say, in this era, there is no crime of unexplained sources of huge amounts of property. Otherwise, if you randomly catch a priest and slaughter him during the holidays, you will definitely find a box full of gold and silver!

Leon did not intend to let go of this opportunity.

The church in this era was indeed powerful, but it was far from being able to shake the rule of the Jimena family.

Since the church failed three consecutive holy wars against the pagans in the Kingdom of Walras, its army has been exhausted and has lost its former glory.

What's more, Antolia is not the only noble who refuses to pay tithes.

In the northern frontier of the Andal Kingdom, there were at least dozens of nobles who refused to pay tithes.

It was precisely because of the above that Leon was not afraid of the church in front of him at all, and even planned to climb up the pole.

Father Matthews, it is the duty of the church to preach the holy teachings and educate believers. I also hope that Father Renato's tithes can be repaid in full, so that the church in Antolia can be built as soon as possible.

Only in this way can the holy light of the God of Light shine in the hearts of the Antolian people.

What?

Father Matthews' eyes widened and he stared blankly at the young lord in front of him.

What did he just say?

Is he asking for money from the church?

impossible!

Why isn't it possible?

Leon retorted righteously:

Building a church is the only way to spread the gospel of the God of Light. If it weren't for the church bugs, why wouldn't there be a church in Antolia until now?

How can we run a good church with a bunch of insects?

alright!

The Duke raised the wine glass on the table and smoothed things over: It's not easy for Leon to come from afar. Let's drink a glass of wine first! Congratulations to the Antolian people for their great victory at Gray Water Castle!

Father Matthews looked at the Duke gratefully and drank the wine in his glass.

Father Matthews.

But at this moment, Deol on the side said: Since Viscount Antolia also said that the reason for asking for tithes is to build the church, I think Father Renato should pay back the money he embezzled. It doesn’t seem impossible.”

Um?

Leon on the side couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Lord Deol who was speaking for himself.

The young lord was obviously making overtures to himself.

As for the reason...

The Duchy of Galicia has many vassals, but the most capable of fighting is Antolia.

If Leon's prediction goes well, Deor's move is probably to consolidate his status as the first heir and the Bravis family's control of this land by wooing him.

After all, although the Bravis family is a duke, most of their subordinate vassals have their own thoughts.

For example, the Count of Brabant whose fiefdom is located east of Parma.

He is a vassal named Duke of Galicia, but he often colludes with the royal family and the church. His intention to replace the Bravis family is even more obvious.

Since your plan to beat yourself up through the church has not been successful, then change your mind and try to beat up the church by wooing yourself.

In short, the Duke family will win no matter what.

Lord d'Or is true to his words!

Leon didn't care what the Duke of Galicia wanted to do. He only knew that Deol's words were in the interests of Antolia.

If Father Matthews is worried, I would like to invite Father Matthews to work in Antolia and personally supervise the construction process of the church. Leon said sincerely.

this……

For a moment, Father Matthews couldn't help but be speechless.

He originally planned to use the Duke's influence to make Antolia pay at least part of the arrears of tithes, thereby gaining capital for his further advancement in the church.

But he didn't expect that things were developing in a direction he didn't expect, and he was about to be tricked into Antolia himself!

Where is Antolia?

That is a place where only those who offend others will be sent to by the church!

Not only is it chaotic and barren, but in the dictionary of the Antorians, greeting the parents of the God of Light is really a common thing.

Viscount Antolia's suggestion does make some sense.

When the Duke of Galicia, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, Father Matthews' face was already pale.
