42. Country

"According to my observation, most of the gods in the universe have only two hands."

"One is just the left hand, the other is just the right hand."

"It sounds like nonsense, right? But be aware that at the structural level of those secular religious organizations, [the left hand of God] and [the right hand of God] are two important formal concepts!"

——"Neil Harber's Survey Report on the Structure Form of Secular Religious Organizations in Multiverse", page 42

......

In the lively tavern,

In the corner, the drinkers at a certain table,

Talking whisperingly,

What they know is the 'rumor' about the two countries.

"Forcing a palace? Are you kidding? Will the Holy See of the Church be forced to a palace by the believers below?"

The tailor in Gus City spoke in a lingering voice, looking in disbelief.

When he was young, he went to the surrounding noble leaders with his father, and became his father's business assistant, and he also gained insight.

He is now one of the dealers in Gus City, a civilian, but even more [outstanding civilian].

Naturally, my horizons are slightly higher than those of ordinary leaders in and outside the city.

He knew that his lord (whether he was from the previous or the current one) had always been cold to the church.

He also knew that the masters of several nobles nearby had their attitudes towards the church. Although they were not as straight as Master Feidieresh, they were also trying to reduce the influence of church personnel - in terms of tax collection and corvee.

He had guessed whether it was the great dukes and the noble king,

They are the same, they appear to be a pious person on the surface.

But in fact, in the hearts of some masters,

Don't believe in the [Soul of Atonement] at all?

Of course, these ideas can only be thoughts, and I dare not say them out.

In short, this tailor's lingering person once thought about it:

Will it be someday in the future?

His Majesty the King and the Grand Dukes of Spain,

They will bring the knights and men, and the army will surround the holy city [Vatikan],

‘Please’ move to the capital under the crown of the Holy See,

Let [Vatikan] retain the role of pilgrimage only, and move the administrative center of the church to the royal capital.

So, no one needs to continue to be ‘in harmony with the church’?

But I never expected that I would not have seen His Majesty's army besieged the city first, but I would have encountered the church's forced civil strife?

At the wine table, the tailor in Guscheng spoke in a lingering voice, looking in disbelief.

What's going on? Isn't the church inside the Holy See the Holy Lord [no one dares to refuse to follow the dictatorship]?

The tailor’s verbal verbal person’s ‘short-sighted’? No, no, no, you can’t blame him for this.

After all, for ordinary free people, being able to detect the subtle attitudes of the nobles toward the church can already be regarded as a "eyed" civilian.

It is difficult for ordinary people and ordinary believers to learn more about the situation inside the church.

Especially in the feudal era when information was blocked.

Where can ordinary people know what the rights structure of the monks in the temple are.

"Oh, you may not be sure, I'll think about how to explain..."

The marshal who had previously told the explosive news - he was a French and Portuguese scholar - held an empty wine glass in his hand, thought for 6 seconds, then lowered his voice and continued to explain to everyone:

"Well, I know some vague rumors about the situation inside the church of [The Atonement Lord]... Well, wait, what does your eyes mean?"

The other people at the table (the captains, the other maritime merchants, and the three people from Gus City) were all looking at the speaker with strange or ambiguous eyes.

"Damn, you guys, don't you think I'm the French and Portuguese [Dragon Rider Secret Spy]?" The maritime merchant looked amused and crying.

"Your brothers and I have been doing business for many years. Do you think I look like a spy?"

"My French and Portuguese [Dragon Knight Secret Spy] is the king of our French and Portuguese. They are all superb mercenaries who have unique skills, no worries about food and drink, and are like nobles. How could they be like me, who floated on the sea for more than half a year, reselling flour from Spain and spices from Sarasen every day, just to make some hard money?"

"Besides, if I am really a spy, then I will share information with your brothers. Wouldn't I be so tired of it? I have nothing to do to cause trouble for myself?"

The sea merchant spread his hands and said that he could never be the [Dragon Knight Secret Spy] of the French and Portuguese Kingdom.

The person in the grain store in Guscheng laughed and said, "We have been doing business for so many years, of course I know that you can't be a spy, brother."

"Hey! The spicy wine I ordered is here, let's drink first."

Maybe it was because everyone was too involved in talking just now so they didn't notice it-

I don't know when,

The young waiter was already holding a wooden plate, smiling, waiting quietly by the wine table.

——There were 6 cups of prepared flavored wine on the tray.

"I just saw the guests chatting happily, so I didn't disturb you." Hadir said politely, "Who are there 6 cups of strong and spicy wine?"

The person in charge of the grain shop pointed to the three captains,

"Little Hadir, give these brothers three more cups of pomegranate juice."

"Oh, I know." The young waiter nodded and delivered 6 glasses of spicy wine to the three vendors in Gus City and the other three maritime merchants.

Hadir then returned to the bar and began making fresh pomegranate juice.

The French-Portuguese maritime merchant, he first laughed dryly, and then tasted a glass of spicy wine.

"Hmm~ enough, enough to be refreshing."

After several others tasted it, he continued to convey his own rumor.

"Well, I have said before that my cousin is the assistant to the vice president of the local [mercenary guild] in a territory on the border between France and Portuguese. He has his own information channels for the superiors, religious organizations, and nobles."

"The news I will tell you next was all about me and my cousin chatting in private, and he chose to reveal it."

"You have heard of it and calculated it, the rumor is not fidelity."

"First of all, inside the [Soul of Atonement] Church, under the Holy See, there are 12 Cardinals and 1 Grand Knight..."
