After receiving the Holy Communion, the baptism ceremony was considered over, and after everything was completed, everyone left the church one after another.
Rostislav talked with his teacher, but it was the converted Adam whom the bishop mentioned at the beginning.
Bishop Luca had a very good impression of the baptized Bulgar successor. In the past five years, Adam had often come to him to discuss many theological matters, and he was a tireless student.
Bishop Luca naturally gave his teachings without hesitation and never hid his secrets. It can be said that Bishop Luca single-handedly facilitated his conversion.
Rostislav mainly talked with the bishop about the missionary work in the wilderness. The recent reports about the pagan groups in the countryside made the prince a little uneasy, so he asked about the closeness in this regard.
The bishop's answer deepened Rostislav's worries. The bishop also received news about pagan organizations. Sometimes they would confront the missionaries sent by the bishop, but they always maintained a certain bottom line without harming anyone's life.
.
After receiving the news, Rostislav was even more worried. He was a little afraid that Jan could not solve the problem with his own manpower alone. And just when he was thinking about whether he should add more manpower, a scene attracted his attention.
That is Adam Dolu, the heir of Bulgar, who is now surrounded by his followers of Bulgar, as if questioning something.
The place where they were was at the corner of the Hagia Sophia Square. Despite this, the scene still attracted many people.
However, most of the onlookers could not understand their language, and these people were arguing in Bulgarian.
The prince spoke Bulgarian, but he couldn't hear it from too far away, but it didn't matter.
Rostislav knew what they were discussing. There were many devout followers of the Bulgar successors, and they had to react naturally to Adam's conversion to Christianity.
Adam looked very embarrassed when facing so many people, but his attitude was very firm, and the most important thing was that there were many more followers who supported his conversion than this group of believers. This was the basis of his firm attitude.
The Prince of Moscow admired Adam very much, and he resolutely made a decision that would inevitably lead to the loss of some of his followers. Moreover, even if he succeeded in resetting, the impact of this decision would probably take him a lifetime to resolve.
However, he also knew that Adam had no choice. If he did not convert, he would not be able to obtain Moscow's army.
"Rostislav, do we want it?"
Seeing Adam like that, Zoe immediately felt a little distressed. In the past few years, Zoe had taken Adam as her younger brother. She knew very well that this exiled child was fragile and sensitive - but in her eyes.
Rostislav had a headache when his wife's motherhood overflowed, because at that time the rational Zoe disappeared. She always thought that Adam was too fragile, but in fact this child was much stronger than she thought.
"Don't worry, just take a look."
Following Rostislav's words, Zoe saw Aleph, who had been silent, half-drawn his scimitar, along with other Adam supporters behind him.
That threatening posture immediately discouraged the opponents who had been making a fuss just now. They remained in a stalemate for a while and then dispersed silently.
However, Zoe was still a little worried and pulled Rostislav over.
But Rostislav couldn't control his wife, so he had no choice but to follow.
However, in the past, he told Gevalan to disperse the crowd of onlookers. The prince did not want to put too much pressure on the child.
Facing the departure of his former followers, Adam's eyes were a little sad. He knew these people would leave.
But then he saw the prince and his wife coming, and his expression immediately changed. He didn't want to bring those negative emotions to the two people who had always treated him kindly.
"Well done. You also learned how to use the threat of force, but you should have killed those people."
Rostislav first praised him, but then he said those decisive words, words with a bloody meaning.
In Rostislav's view, those people could only go to the usurper of Akkad. Rather than letting them leave, it would be better to kill them.
But the most important thing is that he just mentioned it casually, mainly because he wanted to know what Adam thought...
"Do you need my help? I can help you."
The words of the Prince of Moscow made Adam a little confused. He was just a young man who had just learned to use force appropriately. As a result, Rostislav suddenly went into massacre.
And because he was in a public place, Rostislav was still wearing his mask called Prince, which caused a lot of pressure on Adam.
The oppressive temperament brought by the princes is very strong. The current prince of Moscow is 1.75 meters tall, which can be classified as tall in this era.
Moreover, his illustrious military exploits and the temperament of a famous general in the world make people want to surrender. In addition, Adam was already uneasy due to the departure of his followers, so it was naturally a bit embarrassing to face Rostislav.
"Okay, Adam, don't listen to this guy's nonsense."
Zoe, however, did not tolerate her husband and directly patted Rostislav on the head in public.
The prince also took the opportunity to show fear. He also realized that something was wrong just now. There was obviously something wrong with the boy's condition, so he took the opportunity to get off the donkey. Anyway, the surrounding area had been cleared by personal soldiers, and no one saw this scene.
Then Zoe began to greet Adam, like a sister taking care of her little brother.
To a certain extent, Zoe does regard this child as a younger brother. The similar experience and the beautiful face stimulate Zoe's maternal nature to the maximum extent.
At this time, Rostislav could only watch there, like an outsider, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.
At that time, my grandfather's wife was the fiancée of King Olaf of Norway. Even after they got married, they had frequent contacts, but my grandfather never cared about this. The relationship between the two had always been very good, and young Harald still had a good relationship.
Because of this relationship, I received a lot of care from Kiev.
He still made a clear distinction between feelings and so on. Zoe was only attracted by motherhood, while the boy was full of respect deep down in his heart.
And most importantly, the benefits of maintaining such a close relationship with the future ruler of Bulgaria were limitless.
Rostislav never wanted to turn Adam into his puppet, but wanted a real Bulgar Christian monarch. He wanted to be a neighbor who could help each other, rather than a pawn who needed to constantly invest resources.
And if anything happens to Ross, his descendants will have a place to go.
At this moment, Rostislav saw a group of cavalry running from the opposite side of him. They were a group of people dressed as Magyars (Hungary).
