"By the way, are there no gold fingers in this world?" Ye Liuyuan asked.

"The requirements have not been met yet." The system replied: "It will be released in time when the requirements are met, but a friendly reminder, Mr. Ye can make the best use of the appearance of this body."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Liuyuan thanked in her heart.

Ye Liuyuan originally just closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but after finishing talking with the system, because of his weak body, he slowly fell into a dream.When he woke up again, perhaps because of the system, his fever had subsided.

The young man lying in the white quilt of the church woke up leisurely, his golden curly hair spread out on the pillow, like the sun shining on the ground.His face was thin with sweat and pale, obviously very weak from the serious illness.

"Master." The butler next to him took a step forward and said respectfully, "You're finally awake."

The butler who was guarding his bed was unexpectedly young, he looked about 30 to [-] years old, wearing a standard tuxedo, white gloves, and soft brown short hair.

Ye Liuyuan checked the memory of the original owner. The name of the butler was Will, the son of the old Earl Aaron's butler.After the old butler retired, Will stayed in Aaron Castle to take care of the things and property of Aaron's family.

It seemed that he rushed to the monastery and stayed by the bed only after receiving the news that the original owner was seriously ill.

Ye Liuyuan propped himself up, and the heavy cashmere blanket slid off his body, and he asked, "What time is it?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning, good day, Your Excellency." It was not the housekeeper's voice that answered Ye Liuyuan, but an old voice.

Bishop Foster entered, and with him Auxiliary Bishop Felton.

Bishop Foster, who is over [-] years old, has an amazing longevity in this era. His tall figure can vaguely reveal his youthful dignity, but his shriveled skin and age spots on it reveal There is a twilight of dying years and getting old.

Foster walked to the bedside and said, "I'm so glad to see you have overcome the illness, my Lord bless you."

"I'm sorry for letting you see me being so disrespectful." Ye Liuyuan straightened her loose white robe, obeying the strict and solemn image of the original owner, and said, "This time the archbishop sent me back to the fief, hoping that I will do my best Help you better manage the diocese, spread the Lord's gospel to the earth, and let the world know and praise the name of our Lord."

Foster lowered his eyes and responded happily: "Naturally, this is the common responsibility of our faithful believers, Felton? What do you think?"

"Of course, my lord bishop." Auxiliary bishop Felton rested his chest with one hand, but his expression was quite gloomy.

Ye Liuyuan can understand, he is the assistant bishop, and Felton is the assistant bishop.The difference between one word and the meaning is very different.

Auxiliary bishops have the right of succession and can succeed to the bishop's position after the bishop emeritus of the diocese, but auxiliary bishops do not have the right of succession.

Originally, when Ye Liuyuan was not appointed, Felton had the highest status in the diocese and the most experience in handling educational affairs. Even if he had no right of succession, he was also the most suitable candidate for the next bishop.

But the arrival of Yeliuyuan completely shattered Felton's expectations. Yeliuyuan is the lord of Aaron County, and also enjoys the title of earl. He is the owner of this land.He is a hereditary nobleman who naturally enjoys all the privileges, plus the appointment and succession of the archbishop, there is no reason why he will not be the next bishop.

Now that Yeliuyuan's fever has subsided, the housekeeper who was waiting by the side proposed to let Yeliuyuan return to Aaron Castle.The condition of the monastery is not very good, returning to the castle can better allow Yeliuyuan to recuperate.

"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave."

Yeliuyuan left the monastery and returned to Aaron Castle. The Aaron family's castle is a standard Gothic building, built on the hillside, and the buildings are elevated in order. The tall pointed coupons pierced the sky, magnificent and light.

Back at Aaron Castle, Yeliuyuan was going to take a bath first, to wash off the sweat and the residual oil on her forehead.

Ye Liuyuan was startled when Will was about to help him undress, and he quickly refused, "I'll do it myself."

Soak in the hot tub, completely relax and relieve the discomfort of the body.

Yeliuyuan took a bath and changed into a new white robe, and returned to Will to order the servants to prepare the bedroom early.

When he was lying on the big soft and thick bed, covered with a soft silk quilt from the East and a purple lambskin blanket, and a pillow with a silk pillowcase tucked behind him, Will and the servants behind him entered in line.

Behind Will, the servants in standard black and white clothes put the small table on the bed, and then put the tableware on the small table one by one.Linlang's porcelain containers are placed with soft white bread spread with honey, brewed green tea, green vegetables, egg custard and a small piece of delicate meat steak, as well as various gold spoons, knives and forks.

After the servants retreated, Will strictly adjusted the distance between all the tableware, and stepped back half a step: "Master just woke up, so it's not advisable to use too much, but you also need to replenish your body."

Ye Liuyuan... Ye Liuyuan was dumbfounded.

Although Ye Liuyuan, who came from modern times, thought this meal was ordinary, but considering the times, Ye Liuyuan was still shocked by the luxury and enjoyment of the nobles.

As for the memory of the original owner, he couldn't understand the value of this meal.In this era, gold spoons and knives and forks are nothing, and those porcelain containers are the real luxury.These fragile items floated across the sea from the east. In addition to the shipwreck and loss on the way, they also had to experience the exploitation of pirates and countries on the way.

It can be said that the price of the small dish used to hold white bread is enough for a family to chew for a year.Not to mention that in this era of scarcity of supplies, the food that Will serves is a delicacy that ordinary people may only eat once in a lifetime.

Eating this meal can be said to be more luxurious than eating gold.

Such tableware and food, let alone an ordinary earl, even a king may not be able to receive this treatment.The reason why the Aaron family can support such a life is because the fiefdom of Aaron County is near the sea, and it is just on the only way of a golden route, and it has the third most prosperous port in the country.

Not long after this world entered the ocean age, the golden route allowed the Aaron family to accumulate a huge amount of wealth unimaginable to outsiders.

The reason why the Aaron family was able to firmly control Aaron County and the port was thanks to the foresight of the successive Earls of Aaron.In addition to daily life, offerings to Valentin and paying taxes, they did not squander the huge wealth, but invested it in the formation of the fleet and the Knights.The nominally trade fleet actually has two hidden identities of "Navy" and "Pirate".

After eating this meal, Ye Liuyuan fell asleep again wrapped in a quilt.

It was already the next morning when he woke up again, and Will knocked on the door to wake him up, and asked, "How is the master feeling today, do you want to have breakfast in bed or at the dining table."

"I'm much better, it's fine on the dining table, thank you." Meals should have been on the dining table, but yesterday's lunch was just arranged on the bed because Will worried about his illness.

The original owner was a rigorous and self-disciplined believer. After Ye Liuyuan washed up, she performed a routine praise and gratitude before the dinner table.

After breakfast, Ye Liuyuan locked herself in the study of Aaron's house, trying to find records and clues about the holy object.The study of Aaron's family has a huge collection of books from past dynasties, which cannot be read in a short while.

So Yeliuyuan drew up a general scope for itself, and first read the local chronicles of Yalen County and the family history of Yalen's family.

The records of the local chronicles only briefly mentioned the appearance of the sacred object at the very beginning, but there are important records in the family history of Aaron's family.

The idea that there are holy relics in County Aaron originated nearly 4000 years ago.At that time, the name and faith of the Lord had not yet spread to the earth, and only a few prophets had heard the holy words of the Lord.

The prophets made up their minds to spread the gospel of the Lord throughout the world. It is said that a prophet beside the Lord came to Aaron County at that time.He turned water into wine, made a cornfield plentiful, fattened cattle and sheep, and healed a dying man.

The people of Aaron County treated and respected the prophet kindly and gathered around his feet to listen to his preaching. Aaron County became one of the origins of faith.

As a reward for faith, the Lord, through the mouth of the prophet, promised the people living in this land to live a prosperous life from now on, and left a holy object as a proof.

Whoever owns that holy object can own the most wealth in the world; whoever owns that holy object can listen to the voice of the Lord and become a prophet on earth and an angel in the world; To be the undisputed Master of the County of Aaron, and to stand at the right hand of God on Judgment Day.

Since then, in the ancient teachings, in addition to Valentin, which is known as the kingdom of God on earth, Aaron County was once considered to be the promised land promised by God.

Allen County has been ravaged by war because of the relics and the Promised Land.Today the ruler who supports this belief comes, and tomorrow the ruler who wants to destroy this belief will enter this land again.

Long time and wars caused the sacred objects to be lost, so Aaron County lost the protection of the gods, and there have been no miracles since the sacred objects were lost.

This period of history is really too long. It is said that it took 4000 years for the sacred object to appear and the promised land, and it has been almost a thousand years since the sacred object was lost.

Such a long time is enough to obliterate the particularity of Aaron County, making everyone think that the holy relic is just a legend.

Although this country has a history of hundreds of years, it took nearly 300 years for it to become truly strong and expand its territory.The Aaron family are all devout believers, so the first Earl of Aaron chose Aaron County as his fiefdom, and even gave up other counties that were larger and richer for this reason.

However, here comes the drama.

Aaron County was not considered rich when the Aaron family first took control, and it could even be said to be relatively barren, but it was unexpected that within a few decades, a route to the east would be opened.After more than 100 years of difficult exploration and trade, it has finally stepped into the ocean age in recent decades.

The route that the Aaron family has operated for more than 200 years has instantly become an important sea route full of gold. The Aaron family has also grown from an inconspicuous earl in a small county to a powerful old aristocrat with huge wealth in the country.
