Early this morning, everyone in the Dortmund Castle was busy. Karl also put on his dress early, and the maid combed his hair.

Brother Derian was not in Dortmund Castle. He was sent by Kyle to meet Bishop Pierre. As the palace minister of Dortmund, this is what Brother Derian should do.

At this moment, Brother Derian and Bishop Pierre and their party were about to arrive at Dortmund Castle.

"Dear Brother Delian, Dortmund is really a magical place. The roads you built are so comfortable." Sitting in the carriage, Bishop Piard admired Brother Delian outside the carriage window.

"It's great that you are satisfied. This is something our Earl has worked hard to build. He once said that if you want to get rich, build roads first. I don't know where the Earl got this theory, but it gives

The benefits we bring are obvious." Brother Derian responded with a smile, and every guest who came to Dortmund would praise their way.

After all, walking on mountain roads is a normal thing in this era. Even with a carriage, the bumps along the way are enough to make everyone drink. Therefore, many people don’t like to travel far, but Dortmund’s road construction method has changed at least

According to the customs of the people in this area, many nobles are willing to come to Dortmund, even if it is just for a visit.

"The Earl of Dortmund is really a magical person. I am very curious about this young Earl now. I always thought this would be a poor place, but along the way, I saw a lot of incredible things. This place is not

Poverty, on the contrary, it is very rich here, God, if I didn't know that I came to Dortmund, I would have thought that I had arrived in the royal capital." Bishop Pierre said very sincerely.

Brother Derrian smiled slightly. Bishop Pierre's words were a bit exaggerated, but they had to be said to be very useful. At least Brother Derrian was very happy after hearing them.

However, he was a little more wary of Bishop Pierre. He was a very scheming bishop. If Brother Derian could not hear that the other party was using this method to build a good relationship between the two parties, then he would have been fighting for so long in vain.

of the palace.

As soon as I arrived in this territory, I tried to establish a good relationship with the important ministers of this territory. This was a very good choice, but generally those bishops would not do this. Brother Derian knew very well how those arrogant bishops usually behaved.

They were unruly and unruly, and many times they did not take the nobles of their parish into consideration. Perhaps in their eyes, only God was worthy of their respect.

The cost of doing this is that the relationship between the big nobles and the bishops of their dioceses is often not very good. It's just that both sides are wary of the other's power, so everything goes smoothly. Otherwise, there is a high possibility of conflicts between the big nobles and the bishops.

A war breaks out.

You must know that as the supreme head of a diocese, a bishop is often very wealthy. They collect tithes in their diocese, accept donations from teachers and believers, and even accept nobles who have sworn a vow of poverty.

donations, their wealth often makes those great nobles

They are all beyond their reach, and huge wealth often represents strong strength. They use the money to recruit troops or form military orders. The most representative of all these are the several archbishops in the kingdom. They even

He has the same status as an elector.

“God has revealed to us in the Bible that we can spread the glory of the Lord to farther places, let the pagans also join the embrace of the Lord, or let us use the sword to seize the hands of the pagans.

Territory, only in this way can we obtain more land under the sun for the Christian world. Every Christian will be honored for this, and the legendary and great Count of Dortmund did this.

point, his glory will shine with the name of his family in the Christian world for a long time." Bishop Pierre clasped his hands together and said with a pious face, Brother Derian could clearly feel that Pierre

The bishop was sincere in his heart when he said this. He indeed respected Karl in this regard. This is not surprising, as he said, every Christian would be honored by this.

"I believe the earl will be very happy after hearing this." Brother Derian looked into the distance and recalibrated the direction.

"I wonder how long it will take us to arrive at Dortmund Castle? I can't wait to see the Count of Dortmund." Bishop Pierre asked.

"Well... it's going very soon. According to my observation, Lord Bishop, we can reach Dortmund Castle in about one or two hours' walk."

"Oh, yes, that's great." Bishop Pierre nodded, then leaned on the backrest and slowly closed his eyes. Although the roads in Dortmund were well built, it made him

There was not much bumpiness and the walk was relatively comfortable, but the previous journey made him really tired, so he decided to close his eyes and take a nap at the last moment.

Brother Derian silently walked to the front of the team. When he arrived, he would wake up Bishop Pierre.

…

Bishop Pierre was wearing a pair of leather boots, which made a "squeaking" sound when he stepped on the ground, which made people feel a little uncomfortable, but he himself did not feel this way.

"Is this Dortmund? Oh, this is such a majestic place!" Looking at the city wall lined with towers in front of him, Bishop Pierre couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Everyone hopes that the place where they stay in the future will be strong and safe.

"Dortmund Castle itself is not of this scale. Some of these were added later by the Earl." Brother Derian pointed out several of them.

Of course, Karl didn't actually build much. Many of them are in Dortmund itself. After all, he has only occupied this place for a few years. These few years are not enough for him to build too many things, but in these few years he has

Most of the construction was related to defense, so these defense facilities were added to the original castle to make it look more majestic.

Now Bishop Pierre's understanding of Dortmund has undergone earth-shaking changes. Before coming here, he always thought it was just a desolate place on the border. Brother Derian guessed well that his life in the Holy City was actually not that big.

It's better that he doesn't have enough background or ability, he only has the most devout faith in the Lord. There are many such people in the Holy City.

This time it was necessary to send a bishop to this wild place on the border. Many bishops were unwilling to take over. After all, they all believed that there was no so-called money to be made in this place. In the end, the job fell to him.

In his head, he still remembered the day the Pope found him.

"Dear Pierre, I have always seen your loyalty to the Lord, and now take your legacy to Dortmund. There are many lost lambs there who are waiting for the glory of the Lord. I believe you can bring them

The Gospel of the Lord." The Pope was very pious when he said these words, and his hands kept making the sign of the cross on his chest.

He agreed, and he agreed without hesitation. He didn't care if this was a wilderness on the border, and he didn't care if he came here to make money or not, just because he heard the Pope say that there are many lost lambs here who are waiting for the glory of the Lord.

He wanted to bring faith to these poor children.

"But why do I always feel that they don't need my arrival..." Bishop Pierre asked himself in his heart. Along the way, he was carefully observing this newly occupied territory.

Under the circumstances, this place should be a place where faith is lacking and the people are helpless. After all, a long war has just ended here and the people are living in dire straits. But when he came here, he

He found that the people here were not as sad as he imagined. On the contrary, they lived very comfortably. At least compared to other territories he had seen, the living standards of the people here were really good. This could be seen from the clothes they wore.

It can be seen that at least the clothes they are wearing look quite new. They must have had a few pieces of cloth sewn on them recently, while the people in other territories have a coarse linen garment that is already very good.

"Maybe I only saw a few." He said in his heart. After all, in order to save time, he came in a straight line, and the number of people he could really see was not too many.

"Your Majesty Bishop? Your Majesty Bishop?" Brother Derian called several times. For some reason, the bishop in front of him fell silent inexplicably and looked absent-minded.

"Ah, it's okay, I just thought of something." Bishop Pierre recovered.

"We have arrived at the castle." Brother Derian pointed to Dortmund Castle, which was clearly visible in the distance. Dortmund Castle is located in the center of Dortmund. Even after entering the city wall, it won't take long to see the castle. There is Dortmund.

Where nobles lived.

"That's... Your Majesty the Earl!" Brother Derian was suddenly startled when he saw Karl and Berg standing outside the castle gate.

"Ah!" Bishop Pierre was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly walked towards Karl with several of his attendants.

"This... must be His Excellency Bishop Pierre. I am Carl von Dias, Count of Dortmund. I am very happy to meet your respected Bishop." Carl took off his hat and said very politely.

A gift.

"Ah, the distinguished Count of Dortmund, your achievements are known to everyone from Dortmund to the Holy City. I am also very honored to meet you. I came here on the order of His Majesty the Pope." Seeing Karl like this

To save face, Bishop Pierre also had a smile on his face.

"Perhaps we can cooperate very happily. Please come in, Your Excellency, Bishop."
