Warhammer Throne

At this time, Alfred was already sweating all over, but he knew that there should be no hesitation and thinking at this time, otherwise it would give Archbishop Vikmar a very bad impression.

This is not the Kingdom of Brittany, the ancient church district of Freyja in the Duchy of Moussilon, this is the Cathedral of Justice!

Vicma cleans up Alfred as easy as squeezing a chicken to death!

Fortunately, the first question is not difficult to answer. Alfred pretended to think for two seconds and immediately replied: "From what I know, Ryan has no plans to support anyone, from beginning to end."

"Really?" Vekema clenched the command scepter, and he asked casually: "Don't perfuse me! My lord will distinguish between true and false. You have been in the church for more than 20 years, so you know what to do. ?"

"It's true." Alfred nodded, and the blond and blue-eyed Knight Templar said seriously: "Ryan is actually not very familiar with these three candidates. If the most familiar one is the Great Alchemist Guy But he has met several times before and after, and when he came to Brunswick the last time he met Otto, the Supreme Dean of the Illumination Academy, he only met once, as he and Gehrman had not even met. Face, he came to Brunswick this time only because of the emperor’s invitation."

"So, he is familiar with Gelt, so why wouldn't he support Gelt?" asked Hans Reitdorf, the Grand Instructor of the Knights Templar.

"He and Gelt are only because of the emperor's decree." Alfred explained a little: "Ryan is very busy. He has been preparing to recover Moussilon from the year before last. In February last year, he blitzed the Spire Palace. It took more than half a year until Moussilon was completely regained. After returning to the territory, he was busy with reforms, and then the eldest son was born, and then he was busy negotiating to take back Mousillon’s old collar south of Lyonace. How can he have the energy to reconcile him? Gelt contacted. He came here to treat himself as a spectator and enjoy the Winter Veil holiday. On the contrary, his personal relationship with Emperor Karl-Franz is very good."

With this remark, both Vekema and Reitdorf couldn't help nodding their heads. Indeed, Ryan was very busy and this was what they knew. Alfred's words were well-founded and convincing.

Regardless of the fact that the Church of Justice has a position on the position of the Royal Chief Wizard, the Church of Justice wants to see Ryan and Karl have a personal relationship, because Vekma does not want war between the two human countries, so on this issue, they are Support Ryan and Karl Franz to make friends.

"We know." Vicma nodded: "Since he doesn't plan to participate in this matter, that's also a good thing."

Alfred let out a sigh of relief, knowing that this hurdle was over.

Thinking of this, Alfred couldn't help but sigh deep in his heart, lamenting that Ryan is really an incredible character, because of the second question, when Ryan was soaking in the hot spring with himself that day, he used the whole to "exercise" it again. At this time, I will talk to the archbishop again, and the Templar Commander already has a draft in his heart.

At the same time, Alfred also gradually gained new insights.

"I think that many of Lutherhus's opinions and opinions are not wrong!" The Templar commander looked firm, and he said astonishingly: "From some perspectives, I agree with him!"

Grand Tutor Leitdorf opened his mouth wide, this kid! Do you want to die? !

Luther Hus was almost expelled from his membership in the Council of the Righteous Church. It was Archbishop Vekmar who saved his life! Do you think the Archbishop will protect you again?

"Oh?" Archbishop Vekema's tone became strange. He stretched out his hand and squeezed the command scepter: "Some angles? Then other angles, are you different from him?"

"Yes, I think he is really too anxious. His idea is to get it in place in one step. I think there are indeed some problems in the church now. We need to solve the problems. But we must not do as he suggested. If we follow Hu According to Si’s theory, we have to expel thousands of priests in one go, and then afflict tens of thousands of church personnel. Its influence covers four free cities and ten provinces of our empire. This is simply absurd..." Alfred said Slowly explained what Ryan had said to him: "So I think that Luther Hus's proposal has merits, but we must never do as he said!"

Listening to Alfred's generous statement, both Vikmar and Retdorf's expressions changed.

The archbishop nodded slowly. He had asked many people privately about this question.

There are people who keep kowtow, begging for mercy, and don't say a word.

Some desperately cursed Huss, slandered him as an apostate, and thought he had fallen into chaos.

He also supported Huss, and in turn accused the Council of the Holy See, headed by Archbishop Vekema, who felt that he was the incarnation of justice.

"So, do you think our church has always had problems?" Vekema asked in addition.

The atmosphere in the corpse hall suddenly became serious again, and two pairs of eyes were fixed on Alfred.

The atmosphere was very quiet at one time.

"There is no way that can be persevered and operated effectively forever." Alfred said seriously: "We must face the problem but don't exaggerate it. Lutherhus's views are indeed radical, but we can't just I think there is no problem in the church!"

"Very good." Archbishop Vicma finally nodded. The green jewelry on his chest, the emerald griffin shining with the power of the **** of justice, was shining, he just said a word, and then he was silent.

Alfred gritted his teeth, he almost directly used his body to resist Victor's might.

He must say this passage.

He is no longer an ordinary paladin before. He is now the Knight Commander Templar, just like Ingrid said. At this time, Alfred is already a little famous. Say, that is that he already has the power to discuss matters.

At this time, passive avoidance, hesitation, or both ends of the snake and mouse will not only do no good for his future, but it will also greatly affect the evaluation of him by the entire old world!

As a Knight Templar, he must have his own opinion, his own opinion, otherwise he should agree when Archbishop Vekema proposed to send more manpower.

Since he doesn't agree, he must be a little bit "dry goods", otherwise he is unwilling to be a shopkeeper, and he doesn't come up with something real, then what he did is very suspicious!

The church will not rest assured that the entire diocese will be handed over to such goods.

There was silence for a while, and there was a little depression in the empty Saint Skeleton Hall.

Since the establishment of the empire, the remains of countless heroes and martyrs have quietly surrounded the people sitting here.

"Alfred Damian Wien?" Archbishop Vekmar said.

"Yes!" Alfred responded in a low voice.

"Tell me, what is the core doctrine of our righteous church?" the archbishop then asked.

"Justice has no distinction between high and low, justice requires a price." Alfred was a little bit about what the archbishop was thinking, so he had to repeat the core doctrine that had been carved into his soul.

"But different people and different situations have different standards of justice. The justice of some people is not justice in the eyes of others, but we know that the public is always foolish to follow the others, and the truth is always in the hands of a few people. In the hands of the dilemma, if you are the patriarch, how should you deal with it?" Vicma paused.

Alfred really feels tricky this time. This is a very difficult question to answer. This question is not only for Alfred, but for the entire church, and even many nobles and bureaucrats. Come up with a perfect solution.

The Templar Commander opened his mouth. He was a bit bitter and didn't know how to answer.

"You don't need to answer in a hurry, just take it as my assessment of you." Vicma motioned to Alfred not to worry: "Think about it, and answer it when you think about it."

Alfred couldn't help but remembered that when he was a little paladin in Nord, he was sent to the church because he was not the eldest son, and was sent to the church in order to prevent the struggle for inheritance rights. At that time, the archbishop of Nord region Innocent appreciated him and personally For his baptism, he once regarded Archbishop Innocent as an idol like a father.

But when he finally learned that Ryan was going to Marienburg, he was determined to follow Ryan. There have been many things in this, and it is not clear in a few words.

"The patriarch is the leader of the entire diocese, and is also the person in charge of the entire diocese. His existence is to allow the diocese to settle their duties. I am only a Templar knight commander, not qualified to be the patriarch, and I dare not have this idea..." Alfred thought about it seriously, and then replied conservatively.

"Huh! Don't perfuse me with the clichés in those churches!" Archbishop Vekema waved his hand coldly: "This is the Church of the Sacred Skeleton! Don't worry, talk freely!"

Alfred was flushed, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said tentatively, "Is my age too young? I'm only thirty-four this year. It is really disappointing to be the head of the parish? Worship as an idol and hero, but can’t I always rely on my personal prestige to deal with problems?"

"It’s true that few people have become patriarchs in their thirties, but it’s not uncommon. You already have enough qualifications. The fief has been entrusted to you. No, think again, there is a question of disappointing people’s expectations. Who are you? Hope?" Vicma shook his head lightly.

Whose hopes are negative? Alfred stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead with sweat. He chewed Archbishop Vekmar's words in his heart.

Yes! That's right!

The opposition between the emperor and the church on the issue of the royal chief wizard, Ryan’s arrival, and his report here, why should he ask himself the first two questions and doubts about the position of the patriarch? , All involve the core of this issue.

Whose hope is it? If you are the head of the parish, whose expectations should you bear?

"Under the crown of Vicma, whose hope is to bear, does it refer to the expectations of all the people who govern the entire ancient church area and the expectations of the church. The combination of these two expectations is the expectation carried by the patriarch?" Al Fred raised his head.

"Haha~Very good." Archbishop Vekema finally nodded approvingly: "I now understand why you can find your place in the country that belongs to the lady in the lake across the mountain."

"Please enlighten me as the archbishop." Alfred knew that Vekema had something to say, so he said quickly.

"Yeah." Vekema nodded: "As the head of the parish and the vassal of the entire ancient church district, you must protect and protect your people. You must be fair, just, and open to make everyone feel Only if you are convinced and respected can your rule continue. This is to defeat the expectations of the people."

"But at the same time, you must also remember, where did your patriarchal position, including your Templar position, come from? Who gave you the power to rule this land? It's the church, it's us, It's me, and your childhood playmate, Ryan! A disobedient patriarch and vassal, what is going to do?"

"Therefore, you must find your own role by yourself, what you can do and what you can't do, you must know in your heart, what you should do, and what you shouldn't do. You must have a scale in your heart." Vekema continued: "You Excessively standing in the hope of the common people, just like Lutherhus, he completely abandoned his position. He felt that he was a great reformer and changer. Everything he did was for the good of the church, but he did not know him. It's trying to destroy everything he cherishes. If you really want to do what he said, I've been expelled from this cathedral long ago!"

"He just asked the question. As you said, he didn't think about how to solve the problem and how to deal with this series of concurrent problems. He just wanted to get it right in one step, which is impossible! Therefore, he himself Those who bear the hope of common people have completely escaped the control of the church. Such people cannot be the patriarch."

"On the contrary, blindly closing the door and cultivating hard, knowing nothing about the outside world, and being a puppet is no good." Vikma nodded and said: "You think I don't know some internal speeches in the church? Everything is under the banner of our lord. Say everything as the will of our lord. If there is an oracle, it does not consider the specific situation and is forced to execute it without the believers. Without the oracle, I am only busy with penance, confession and prayer. This kind of thing is also worthy of responsibility The patriarch of a parish?! They are destroying the credibility and prestige of the Church of Justice!"

"I have dismissed more than 80 clergy for this reason. These are only suitable for the battlefield, not suitable for the patriarch. The church does not need these idiots. They have to play their value in a more useful and suitable place!"

Alfred's sweat had flowed from his cheeks, and the hair that the Templar Commander had carefully managed was all sweaty, sticking to his face and neck, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

"These are all personally spoken by the archbishop, Alfred, you have to remember." Hans Leitdorf, the grand tutor of the Knights Templar, said to his knight commander warmly: "You need Find your own way and balance between the two. Bretania is a special situation. We can't teach you, you can only find it yourself."

"Yes!" Alfred bowed his head cautiously.

"As for the Luther-Huss matter, you must remember not to speak out or make any comments." Archbishop Vikmar nodded calmly, his bald head reflecting in the flames of the Sacred Church, two strands of comet shape. His beard shook slightly: "Remember, Luther Hus, I keep a lot of uses. This crazy dog ​​can be used well, and it can effectively attack the guys with corpse positions. He will open a lot of gaps. When the time comes, We only need to respond to the call, follow the trend, and we can perform internal shuffling. You only need to manage your parish and fief. If someone asks you, you will say that I don’t know what happened across the mountain, and I don’t have time to understand."

Alfred was a little surprised when he heard this. No wonder Archbishop Vikmar had protected Luther Huss and he did not agree to expel him. It turned out that he had this idea!

It's too old and cunning!

The Templar said nothing, he just responded again: "Yes."

"Very well, then the position of the Patriarch of the ancient church district of Freya is entrusted to you, Alfred, I hope you will perform your duties faithfully under the glorious guidance of our Lord!" Archbishop Vekema After clapping his hands, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar held a large plate and motioned for Alfred to come forward.

This is a set of purple-red patriarch clothes, including sacrificial cloaks, belts, uniforms made of silk and water wave silk, neckties, short white clothes, four-cornered hats, and two-tailed comet-shaped patriarch's scepter, etc.

"Yes!" The Knight Commander Templar only felt that he was deeply stabbed by this suit in his heart. His heart was excited and his eyes were a little lost. He quickly swallowed a sip of water, stepped forward quickly, and then Lived on this large iron plate.

He was about to open his mouth to express his gratitude, but Archbishop Vekema grabbed his arm: "Before this, I have something to say."

"The archbishop, please." Alfred's heart shuddered, knowing that Vekma had seen his absent-mindedness, so he could only bow his head.

"From now on, don't do anything like holding a torch to detonate explosives by yourself." The always serious archbishop suddenly showed a smile on his face: "You can do your best for other things, even if you are seriously injured or even disabled, we You can also ask the Church of Life to release the sacred art for you to regenerate your limbs, but if you die, where can we find another Ryan’s childhood playmate to be the patriarch on the land of the lady in the lake?"

"Understood!" Alfred took a deep breath and said loudly. Then, he knelt down on his legs and accepted the canonization.

Starting today, he is the patriarch of the Freyja church district appointed by the Church of Justice, and even the head of the parish in western Britania!
