Old Sword Master

Little Bazin hesitated and nodded.

Uncle Hei continued: “Let Wood and Morty cooperate with you in this matter. I’m going to the private residence of Bishop Busk.”

Chapter 150 The Bishop’s Missing Gandia people were alarmed

Seeing the dark and crushing crowd in front of him, coupled with being surrounded by the church guards all the stars cup themselves around the moon, Father Xavier gradually felt so much as a bishop.

In the past half an hour, several nuns have already taken the initiative to report their thoughts to him, asking Father Xavier to give him guidance.

Although the lady of the church guard Captain is not beautiful, she is very strong. She also politely expressed her respect to Father Xavier, and her younger sister Judy is really lovely.

Of course, the church guards and the male staff in other churches did not take the initiative, but Father Xavier would not have time to respond to them for a while.

“Don’t be afraid, ah, don’t believe the rumors or spread the rumors.” Anyway, he will definitely spread the rumors anyway, so Xavier has no need to lower his style.

“My lord, they said that Bishop Busk had taken away all the money from the church, and the next month’s salary would not be released, and the sacrament would be stopped.” Several church guards and handymen were worried.

This is not nonsense, but it is not entirely true. Father Xavier has already looked at the financial situation of the church a little bit. The money in the accounts is indeed very small, there are only less than 100 talers, but it is not a problem to barely maintain for a month. of.

He was too busy to check the church’s cashbox, otherwise he would not be so calm. There were no dozens of talers in the account. In order to supply the Ottomans, Bishop Busk owed the fate of the Chamber of Commerce and Several other merchants in the city have a few 100 talers, and a batch of nutrients that should be supplied to the city defense army does not exist.

This is also one of the reasons why Father Gurda hesitated to take control of the situation in time after he learned of the disappearance of Bishop Busk. He stayed with Bishop Busk for a long time. After so long, he knew each other. There must be a deficit.

However, Father Xavier did not think of such things at all. He just said with a pious expression to the church staff and the citizens who came to inquire: “Everyone must believe in the church, believe in the emperor, even if something happens to Bishop Busk His personal affairs will never affect the normal operation of the church. Everyone can continue to receive my guidance, and the sacrament will be distributed regularly and quantitatively. He will never let everyone have no place to eat the sacrament on Sunday.”

Although Bishop Xavier is not very majestic, he is considered (very tǐng) gracious, and it feels good to be a priest for that many years. He has not really become a bishop. That many people have already come. Holding it up.

Father Xavier knew that he would definitely give most of the power to Wood’s agent Liandra, but this was not a big problem. Although the church of Gandia was in decline, there were still many benefits.

In the past, every domestic animal and every grain of food, whether it is pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, or fruit and vegetable food, must be given to the church. Although the ratio has been very low after several reductions, and often only the kind can be collected. Not gold or silver, but the church does not support that many people like the government of the Republic.

Bishop Xavier…Oh, for the time being, he is still a priest. I think it’s okay to get a few 100 talers every year.

Several nuns have reported to him that Bishop Busk has many lovers in the city. They provide building materials to the church, outsourcing of vehicles, and outsourcing maintenance of weapons and equipment. Of course, several related nuns are very dissatisfied. They My family wants to do this business too. I changed a bishop, and the original relationship didn’t work well. Naturally, I had to fight again.

Of course Xavier doesn’t know which ones are Gulda’s relations, which ones are Busk’s relations, but it doesn’t matter, you can sit down and talk about it. This priest Gulda still has some foundations in this church. But he had no voice at all, which was obviously intended to obey his leadership.

Father Xavier thinks this must be because his work in the suburbs is more recognized by everyone. Of course, the support of Wood and the referee behind him is also very important, but he also has a certain charm and influence. Well, that’s right. From now on, in Gandia City, Xavier will speak with weight. He looked at Liandra who was talking to Sister Judy next to him. 80% of this Young Lady is a heresy. I will still guide her in the future.

The same is true for Wood. He is a good young man, but there must be some problems with his belief in God. Father Xavier will not demolish Wood’s desk, but it is necessary to give some free soul guidance.

“Father Xavier, do you have a warrant from Bishop Busk to temporarily perform the duties of the bishop while he is away?” Father Gurda, who has never known where the cat, suddenly appeared, his The appearance of Father Xavier was shocked, and the Judy sisters who were going to sit and watch the situation were also very surprised looking at each other in blank dismay.

Judy elder sister’s position is the way of Father Gulda. Although their family is a big family on the island, the position in the church can be obtained thanks to the compromise between Father Xavier and Bishop Busk.

Judy looked at elder sister’s face and turned ugly: “What’s wrong with elder sister, it’s okay for Father Gulda to fight Wood.”

“Yeah, big sister, you are no weaker than Wood, he has only been a full-fledged fighter for a few days?” Akkad, who had been shrinking even more and dared not to show his head, finally dared to speak, “big sister how many years ago you It’s the famous new Swordsman in our city.”

“He had only been in office for a few days at the time, didn’t he just beat you by one move? Do you still think you made a mistake?” Judy’s elder sister snapped Akkad.

Akkad and Judy dare not talk anymore.

“It’s not as simple as you think. I just went through a great war and killed that many Ottomans. This time it was stronger than whose sword was.” Judy’s elder sister looked at her younger sister, and again He shook his head, “Just after the battle, it was when Wood was the strongest.”

“But that’s only temporary power. Most of the time, the police officer is stronger, and the police officer just didn’t go out of the city to fight.” Judy’s words were correct.

Her family is also related to the city defense army. She knows some information about Wood’s battle. Others say that Wood is hugging a mage Lord’s thigh, but she can hear that even if there is mage, the Wood sword technique and The pace is also extremely prominent, it may be said that he is close to an elite fighter, and he has a sword that can burn people, which is really difficult to deal with.

Violence is the foundation of strength. Father Xavier has the support of the sword of Wood, and Father Na Gulda must get the public support of Archiliao’s officials. Only the kind of support at meetings will not work. It must be supported by the real thing, and there are still a few strong players in the city defense infantry team.

But are the officials willing? He has always used his political power very carefully to survive the pressure of the Spaniards. Until now, Gandia City can only be maintained by the protection of the Spanish fleet. The police officer knows this very well.

So will the fight with Wood damage the already limited vitality of the Republic of Crete? If you fight, it will definitely be even more disadvantageous.

Why couldn’t Wood work well with police officers and city defense officers?

Although Judy’s elder sister can see Wood’s strength more clearly than most people, he still feels that Wood is not good at this point. He should take the initiative to seek cooperation with police officers. Everyone is already so difficult, so they can’t stop fighting. Well.

Just as she was thinking about it, a few fierce-faced guys poured into the church. Sister Judy recognized them as members of the Greek community on the street. Judy immediately went up and yelled: “What are you here for?”

“Go away, go away, who is in charge now, Bishop Busk has borrowed 80 white talers from our boss, who will pay it back!”

As soon as the leading gang shouted, everyone focused on Father Xavier, who had just enjoyed the pleasure of being a leader.

…

After separating from Viscount Leida, Joselu walked around the city, mainly to understand the terrain of Gandia City. Although he is a knight-errant, the city is also the terrain he is scheduled to fight.

As a child of the powerful emperor, he is also ready to fight the Ottomans here. He has a glorious history of fighting in Algeria and Morocco in North Africa. Although the Spanish fleet is a few stronger than those nomads Dimensional, but strongholds on land may still be attacked by the enemy. At that time, it is necessary to rely on determined soldiers and knight-errants to hold the strongholds and wait for reinforcements.

In the course of this battle, Joselu accumulated a lot of experience. He found that small and strong strongholds are often more reliable. All of them are fortresses composed of Spanish soldiers and military members. Even if there are only 2 people, it is best to stick to it. A large town with 100 people would be a lot more difficult, but more manpower also has advantages, but if there are 500 unreliable indigenous people out of 500, it is extremely dangerous.

The situation in Gandia City made him feel similar to that kind of unreliable city, and the heretics here are bolder than those heretic in North Africa that have just been transferred.

Everyone on the street was spreading rumors. The Italian-speaking citizens were relatively wealthier. They stopped talking after seeing Joselu wearing a dark suit walking by. This suit looked like a Spanish. Style, pure black is a trend brought by the Spanish emperor and the court. Such a mellow color is not affordable for ordinary people. Joselu also only has this brightly colored and reliable black hunting suit. He killed a core Peak. The nomads, only bought his good horses.

The clothes made the Italian residents who were talking gossip shut up, but their eyes still wandered.
