"King of Knights, what you said is quite interesting." The priest in red nodded without hesitation, "But, the one who decides how much influence the church has in the country is ultimately the Knight King yourself. I can say that not only our Abraham church, but any class, letting them grow bigger in the country will cause trouble to you, right? However, the great benefit of accepting our church is that no class in your country cannot give you. Especially you, the Knight King, among the hundreds or thousands of monarchs that have appeared in the British states, you need our church the most."

"Really?" said Alfred, "I don't think I have any demand for you."

After hearing Alfred's answer, the priest in red sat back to his position and slowly wiped the golden ring worn on his fat palm:

"I heard that a rebellion occurred in Scotland not long ago. And Ireland is also ready to move, right?"

He was referring to the rebellion caused by Bjorn. Hearing this, the Knight King was a little unhappy and asked with a calm face: "Will Scotland not rebellious if you accept you?"

"King, there is one thing I want to hear from you," said the priest in red. "Why did the Seven Hills Empire, the huge empire that once controlled Almani, Britain, and many other territories fall apart and is difficult to restore?"

"There are many reasons for internal corruption and external invasion."

Alfred secretly glanced at Ella, and saw that Ella had no reaction to this, he continued to say boldly:

"But I think the most important thing is that the Qiqiu Empire was originally obtained by conquest. The people from all states and countries were disunited. The Qiqiu Empire declined, and they were not sad or happy. They did not think they were from the Qiqiu Empire. After the Qiqiu Empire collapsed, how could they gather these people together again?"

The priest in red nodded, as if he agreed with Alfred's statement. But then he asked again: "Then, Knight King, where did your territory in Scotland and Ireland come from?"

Alfred's face turned dark: "What do you mean?"

"I am thinking about you. The cultures of Scotland and Ireland are much different from those of England, right? Not only that, even religions are different. England was the homeland of the Seven Hills Empire. Religion belongs to the Seven Hills Empire. Ireland and Scotland are both a group of uncivilized primitive people, with all their faiths and all. After being conquered by the Pirate Kingdom, some people even believed in the Asa Gods. This is a situation you have to face." The priest in red smiled and said, "Did you want to learn from the Seven Hills Empire, link their gods and Zeus with kinship, and then add some love debt to the "God King"?"

Alfred responded seriously: “Forcing them to change their faith will only cause unnecessary rebellion.”

"Is it possible, no need to force, just let us preach, and the people at the bottom will spontaneously believe in our Abraham Church?" The priest in red stood up again and owed to Alfred. "As for those local nobles who would oppose you, without the support of the bottom, their opposition paved the way for your unification? Lord Knights?"

"What you said is very nice." Alfred shook his head, "but you can't deceive me. Compared to those local nobles, the power of your Abraham Church is the most deadly if you look up in my territory. They are just the remnants of the countries that I have conquered and destroyed, and you Abraham Church has a huge empire behind it."

"But King of Knights, why do you want the Abrahamic Church in your territory to rely on the Tianfang Empire behind you?" The priest in red smiled and rubbed his hands, "It was you who introduced the Abrahamic Church in your territory. So what power the church relies on behind you depends entirely on you, right?"

Alfred glared at the red-clothed priest: "It's all up to me? Do you think I'm so easy to cheat?"

"You misunderstood, Knight King, this is not a coaxing, but a transaction." The priest in red stared at Alfred, "As long as you are willing to reach an agreement with me and the whole country converts to the Abraham Church, I can make the church affairs in your territory completely depend on you. First of all, the crucial bishop, I will give you the right to appoint you completely. Although this is not in line with the rules of our Tianfang Empire, I can turn a blind eye - even if I am gone a hundred years later, as long as this situation is a foregone conclusion, it will be difficult for the empire to intervene. There must be decades during this period, right? You and I have great potential, aren't you?"

"I will determine the bishop, and you turn a blind eye?" Alfred looked at the red-clothed priest suspiciously, "What reason do you have to do this? What good will it do you?"

The priest in red laughed meaningfully, "The benefits are too great. If both the pirate kingdom and Britain convert to the church of Abraham, my reputation in the church will reach its peak. Our Cross Sect is keen on preaching to the outside world, but even the apostles who contributed the most to the Cross Sect have achieved nothing more. With such achievements, it is a foregone conclusion that I will become the next apostle. As for the bishop's right to be appointed in Britain - to be transferred out, what's the harm?"

Alfred then realized that the priest in red in front of him might not be the next apostle. He came to persuade Britain and the Pirate Kingdom to convert to the church, hoping to add some bargaining chips to his elected apostle.

Ella, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked, "The position of the apostle was chosen by your God? Especially recently, I heard that your Christ is about to be resurrected. Will he not be seen through by him when doing things like this?"

"The Resurrection of the Son of God?"

The priest in red shook his head with a strange expression:

"I don't think he can be resurrected. If he is really resurrected, it will be harmless and no benefit... Forget it, you don't understand what you said to you. Just tell me directly, will you do the deal I just proposed?"

Alfred shook his head angry and amused. Since the priest in red is not necessarily the next apostle, the promise he made may not be effective. He kept talking a lot, which sounded a little reasonable, but in fact he wanted to make a fortune by himself.

"Take your people back." He stood up, waved his sleeves and saw him off, "Britain does not need any benefits from your Abraham church, nor is it afraid of being enemies with any empire in the Heavenly Empire!"

"No-Alfred, wait a moment."

Ella, who hadn't spoken much, stopped Alfred and looked at the priest in red with a smile:
