The four hundred and sixtieth chapters must be settled first
Ladislaus did not like the newly renovated rooms next to Wangyuan House, especially their decoration style.
Flame-shaped carvings, fiery red paint.
There are also everlasting open fires out of season.
The whole room he was in was even more red, and the whole room was decorated with a fiery red color that he didn't like.
However, he still insisted on staying here for an hour every week, and repeatedly negotiated with Anna for an additional hour.
Because here he can meet his son Charlie.
At this stage, the baby sleeps most of the time and Anna feeds him before visiting hours.
Ladislaus usually spent this quiet hour alone with his children.
Of course, if he occasionally cries, Ladislaus can do the diaper changing job himself. Although he is clumsy, he has learned a certain skill after doing it a few times.
But today, after little Charlie pulled the baby on his body, Ladislaus didn't have to do it himself. Anna's maid skillfully changed the baby's diaper.
Today Ladislaus brought Frunzberg and Jarlaxle to the building next to the Great Vision Room because he had an appointment with Anna today.
Sazastan is also there, and Ladislaus wants to ensure the balance of power.
But before the business started, Ladislaus still wanted to hold the child for a while.
Anna had been very patient during the past half hour, although Ladislaus also knew that her time was precious now.
The believers brought to his church by the Cassus Granting Ceremony provided a large amount of start-up capital for the church, but the rapidly expanding church needed money everywhere.
Although Cassus and Barbarossa formed a very close alliance and often shared missionary sites and held religious ceremonies together, as far as Ladislaus knew, the two churches still operated independently. The most important financial and personnel matters remained
is completely independent.
It is obvious that Cassius was unwilling to accept equal status because of his superiority in divine power, and Barbarossa was unwilling to accept the status of junior partner because of his organizational advantage in Austria.
The only effective function at present is to avoid direct conflict while jointly dealing with the Cyric Church.
Of course, it had the effect of boosting publicity to some extent to the outside world, but Ladislaus doubted whether this kind of seeming similarity could deceive the priests of Cyric.
Even the Church of Barbarossa, which had a special status in Austria, found that they had almost no government support. No matter how persuasive Ladislaus was to Oded Kessler's request, Machiavelli simply could not get the money.
Come.
This Bann believer is obviously an excellent candidate to deal with religious issues in Austria at the moment.
The Church of Barbarossa can still get some policy conveniences to some extent, and the Church of Cassus will be completely self-reliant.
But they obviously have their own methods.
The high-level wonders created by Anna and Sazastan together are an important source of wealth for the Church of Kassus.
The child was taken to another room. Ladislaus nodded to Anna and began to speak: "Your Highness Anna, I am here to confirm with you whether you are satisfied with my recent efforts on religious freedom.
Feel it."
"You have indeed worked hard as promised." Anna said and nodded to Jarlaxle.
Jarlaxle quickly returned the favor. He had been a little uncomfortable since Anna entered the room. Although he had heard about the power of the "Warlock Royal Family" in the Black Continent, he saw with his own eyes what Austria, a country that did not seem to be a big country, possessed.
The elite force still shocked him a lot.
Anna was the most powerful being he had ever seen, not inferior to Suleiman the Magnificent who received great favor and attention from Demogorgon.
Although the Church of Kassuth and its monarch obviously had certain conflicts and differences, the same problems also existed around the world, and sultans and imams also sometimes fought and sometimes cooperated.
Jarlaxle saw this strange "couple" in Austria. Jarlaxle didn't know the details of Ladislaus and Anna's past. But after he came to Austria, he figured out who was Ladislaus's.
Heirs should be your first priority.
Jones and Lord Hohenzollern are of course also paying attention to this new powerful warrior. They are not really unrelated as Jones claimed. Jones has long been connected to Jarlaxle, and Jarlaxle has also
Eager to join a powerful faction. An alliance led by Chief Minister Hohenzollern would certainly be good.
The two sides hit it off immediately.
Through their introduction, it was not difficult for Jarlaxle to know that the infant child was Austria's most powerful heir candidate.
As for the affair between them that Jones kept secret, Jarlaxle was not interested. The rules of the drow world meant that he didn't care about such things at all.
Regardless of how many bad memories there may be, it is clear that this is an effective alliance when this man and woman can sit together peacefully to discuss common interests.
Moreover, after the appointment, the leaders of both sides of the alliance were able to meet directly with each other soon after limited preparations, which shows that there is still a strong foundation of trust.
"His Highness Jarlaxle and several other drow have recently exposed the filth within the church, which has severely damaged its momentum. I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"Where, where, these depraved priests treat those ignorant little boys so cruelly, any drow with a conscience and a sense of justice will never tolerate it!"
What Anna and Jarlaxle said was the real reason why Ladislaus was concerned about the faith issues of the drow.
Ladislaus ordered them to scatter around the city of Vienna to participate in religious activities of various churches and serve as bait to lure prey.
These drow possess powerful force, and Jarlaxle, the leader, is even more powerful. After the leader of the local Cyric Church in Austria was driven to Rome by Ladislaus, the succeeding archbishop has been suffering from insufficient resources.
Suppressing force.
He regarded Jarlaxle as an object worthy of investment. Although as a drow, it is almost impossible to enter the Austrian State Council no matter how powerful he is, but his force alone can slightly boost the momentum of the Cyric Church.
There is also the psychic Kim Murray who is also very popular. The Cyric Church has held the authority over Europa for many years, so naturally it has more knowledge and qualifications. They know Kim Murray's value better.
In a one-on-one contest with most mages of the same level, the outcome would be similar, but the uniqueness of the psychic makes him more needed in the larger the organization.
One is thirsty for talents, and the other is secretly harboring evil intentions.
The two sides hit it off immediately, and the drow were quickly introduced into the Cyric Church. The Archbishop of Vienna, who was in a good mood because of the successful introduction of the pillars, had no idea that he would lead a wolf into the house.
Of course, compared to the despicable perverts under his command, perhaps it is more appropriate to say that he lured the tiger into the house.
Although he did not fully trust the newcomers, under the guidance of Ladislaus, Jarlaxle quickly found a few middle-aged priests who were particularly enthusiastic about looking for talented talents among young boys.
After some tracking and torture, in front of the parents of several children, he revealed the ugly behavior that shocked the world.
Although the relationship between a clergyman and a woman is not on the table, it actually only violates some rules of the Cyric Church and does not violate the public order and good customs of the world. Compared with this crime, it is nothing.
After one round of offensive through the repeated propaganda of several hostile churches and the cooperation of the Austrian Propaganda Department, the Church of Cyrek suddenly lost more than one-third of its faith share in Vienna and several surrounding large towns.
Although the archbishop who was not careful enough did not have such depraved and shameless tendencies, he was also attacked by hostile factions.
He was forced to resign amid the outcry.
Moreover, Cyric was furious at his incompetence. His priest level was only one level, and it was impossible not to resign.
Cassius and Barbarossa certainly gained a large number of followers amid the chaos.
"Since the Church of Cassus has made a huge profit from this operation, I hope you can cash in your part of the transaction." Ladislaus looked at Anna and made her request.
Anna nodded and said: "The twelve ardent weapons supplied to the Kingdom of Poland last month are the first and last batch. Without your permission in the future, the Kassus Church will no longer export such weapons to foreign countries.
And one hundred such bows and arrows will be exclusively supplied to Austria in the next twelve months at a price of 2,500 thalers."
"What about the other weapons I have selected?" Ladislaus asked expectantly, although Anna did not agree with him to expand the scope of the arms embargo at first.
"The energy of His Highness Sazastan and I is limited. For a long time, we will not have the energy to create weapons other than passion." These terms were not in the original agreement, and Anna would not have it at that time.
I won't give in at all this time.
"In any case, I still hope that you will try not to sell those weapons to the countries I listed, including France, Poland, Ottoman, Saxony, and Rome." Ladislaus still listed the weapons on his list.
The key points were repeated.
"Okay, I will take this problem to heart." Anna was obviously just perfunctory, and she would ship the goods according to the level of Yintale.
She was a free trader, as Liddy had been, but Ladislaus could not be so open.
However, Ladislaus had no intention of persisting. He had other more important issues to discuss with Anna.
Of course, this operation is not only to obtain arms concessions from the Church of Cassus, but more importantly, to weaken the credibility and ability of the Church of Sirik to ensure that they cannot cause trouble at the critical moment.
"That would be great, Anna, now that we have deepened our trust again, I would also like to talk about the recent political situation..."
What Ladislaus said next made Jarlaxle, who was attending a high-level meeting for the first time, feel very warm.
