Inside the Palace of the Lord of Fire City, it used to be the palace of His Majesty the Sith when he was the Lord of Fire City. Later it became the residence of Gary, the richest man in Divine Grace. It is now the temporary palace of the Magic Principality.
Palu was thinking worriedly in the hall of the villa. Now the state's new policy officials have decided that the number of legions under Wood has reached the standard he wants, but what is most lacking now is food. If the food problem is not solved, troops will be sent to Galen City.
It's simply impossible.
The more Palu thought about it, the more upset he became, and a noble next to Palu saw Palu's expression and asked respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I wonder what is making you so upset?"
Pallu sighed and said:
“Which place has the most abundant food now?”
The noble said without thinking:
"Of course it's the Holy See of Light. When His Majesty the Eighteenth King of France was alive, the Holy See of Light had the most abundant food reserves in the Divine Grace Continent. What's more, all the major empires are short of food now, and many empires are borrowing food from the Holy See of Light."
Pallu sighed and said:
"I know this, but how can I contact the Church of Light?"
Palu has nothing to do against the Church of Light. The relationship between the Magic Empire and the Church of Light was not very good in the past. Especially after His Majesty the Sith left, the Church of Light had no contact with the Magic Empire at all and borrowed food from the Church of Light.
This is also an impossible thing, and obviously Palu has no hope.
But the nobleman continued:
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Church of Light have been in Fire City all this time. They want to see Mr. Wood, but Wood has never seen them. Why don't we summon the envoys of the Church of Light to see if it is possible to borrow food?"
Palu asked doubtfully:
"Why doesn't Wood see them?"
Obviously no one answered. Of course, even Palu couldn't understand this question. Then Palu solemnly said:
"Quickly, call in the messengers from the Church of Light. I want to know what they want from Wood?"
Then a noble ran out in a hurry. After a long time, a guard came in and reported:
"The messenger of the Church of Light asks to see His Majesty."
Palu said hurriedly:
"Please!"
Then a group of people came in from outside the door. The leader of this group was a priest wearing a red robe. According to the rules of the Church of Light, this should be the red-robed archbishop. He is about 60 years old or above. This man has a peaceful face.
The expression gives people a very kind feeling.
When a group of people from the Church of Light came in, the leading old man bowed and said:
"Your great Majesty Palu, I am very grateful that you can summon me despite your busy schedule. With the blessing of the almighty goddess of light, you will definitely fulfill your great wish."
Palu also said with a smile:
"Thank you very much for your blessing, please take a seat!"
Then the group of people walked aside, and the red archbishop sat on a chair, while others stood behind him.
After seeing the red archbishop sitting down, Palu asked casually:
"How long has your Excellency the Archbishop been in Fire City?"
The cardinal replied:
"Almost 4 months already!"
Pallu then asked:
"I wonder what your mission is when you come to Fire City?"
The red archbishop sighed and said:
"I do have a mission, but it seems I can't complete it."
Palu asked hurriedly:
"Why?"
The red archbishop said helplessly:
"There is a talented girl next to Wood. Her ability is comparable to any woman trained in our church. In ten days, it will be the Saint Selection Day held every 20 years by the Church of Light. The Vatican wanted this girl to participate in the Saint Selection.
But Wood has never seen me, so I’m afraid this matter won’t be completed.”
When Palu heard what the red archbishop said, he knew who the girl he was referring to was. There were four women around Wood, and the only priest was Elaine. The person the red archbishop was talking about
It must be Elaine.
Palu thought in his heart that the Saint's status in the Holy See of Light is very high, comparable to His Majesty the Pope. It can be said that the Saint of Light is the most authoritative person in the Holy See of Light besides the Pope. If Elaine goes
The Holy See of Light has really become a saint, so how can the Holy See of Light not lend itself to the food?
Thinking of this, Pallu continued:
"Mr. Bishop, I want to ask you something, but I don't know if it's okay."
The red archbishop said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Pallu continued:
"I want to borrow food from the Holy See of Light. Is this difficult to do?"
The red archbishop frowned and thought, then said:
"It's not difficult, but..."
Palu did not give him a chance to continue speaking and interrupted directly:
"As long as it's not difficult to do, don't worry. Leave it to me to select a saint for Elaine. I promise to let you complete the task successfully."
When the red archbishop heard what Palu said, he quickly returned the greeting excitedly and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty. As long as you can talk to Wood and let his girl choose the saint, I will truthfully report your Majesty's wishes and promise to lend you food after the saint ceremony."
Then the two of them laughed and chatted for a while.
In the evening, Palu summoned Wood, and Palu did not directly tell him about his meeting with the red archbishop, but said:
"Wood! What can you do about food?"
Wood shook his head helplessly, and Palu continued:
"Nowadays, all major empires are short of food, and they all set their sights on the Holy See of Light. Now in the Divine Grace Continent, I am afraid that the only force with sufficient food is the Holy See of Light."
Wood nodded and said:
"Your Majesty is right. If you want to get food quickly now, the only way to buy it is from the Empire of Light."
Pallu smiled and said:
"By the way Wood, did you hear something?"
Wood replied respectfully:
"Please give me your Majesty's advice."
Pallu continued:
"In ten days, the Holy See of Light will hold the 20-year saint selection. Now every empire sends people to participate, and the purpose is to borrow food. Do you think it's okay for us to participate?"
Wood's face turned dark, and Palu finally got to the point. How capable Wood was in the Fire City. Palu met with the red archbishop of the Holy See of Light. Of course Wood knew about this. Before, Wood had speculated about the relationship between the Holy See of Light and Darkness.
The church will extend its hands to Elaine and Feili.
Because now the largest forces in the Divine Grace Continent are the two churches of God, followed by the suddenly rising sect of Wood. If you want to break into this sect, you can only let people enter the inner sect of the sect, but Wood’s sect management
It's so strict. If they have any ability to enter, they can only poach their internal people. Of course, only Feili and Elaine are the easiest.
Seeing that Wood was silent for a long time, Palu continued:
"The current situation is very delicate. Gangze's army is in Shacheng, but they can't move because they don't have food. We also have no food, but we just consume it like this. We also consume the same food every day. What can we do? Let's go on.
There are so many people choosing the saint, and Elaine may not be able to choose it. Even if she is chosen, don’t we have the support of the Holy See of Light behind us!”
Seeing that Palu made it so obvious, Wood could only reply:
"Your Majesty, please allow me to go back and ask Elaine for her opinion."
Then Wood turned around and left, and Palu hurriedly got up to see Wood off, saying please while sending him back. It felt like Palu was asking Wood to do something.
On the way back, Wood was in a very bad mood. According to his thoughts, he didn't like to separate Elaine from him at all. But looking at the overall situation, it might be a good thing for Elaine to become this saint. At least Elaine is there.
It is simply impossible for the Holy See of Light and the Gama Empire to use this road to attack them, not to mention that it can also solve the urgent need for food.
The more Wood thought about it, the more upset he became. Wood had already scolded Palu hundreds of times in his heart. What could this bastard Palu do? He insisted on contacting the Holy See of Light. Once this started, it would be difficult to refuse. Now, it’s okay.
Now if Elian goes to choose a saint, he is not at ease. If Elian doesn't go, it will not be good for the restoration of the country or even the struggle for world hegemony.
Just when Wood was struggling, the soul came to realize:
"Actually, I think you should let Elaine be the saint."
