The king's position was to be silent, but to some extent Albrecht was aware of the current events of the Holy See.
The Holy See has been sponsored by a commercial inquiry since the Crusade. When the Pope, who was thought to be just a crusader, waged a great war, the League of Merchants had no choice but to correct the Pope's assessment.
As Albrecht reclaimed the sanctuary, the Crusade was cut short, and the Pope fled to Olvietta, avoiding Ramus again in chaos.
The League of Merchants sent money and mercenaries to bring the Pope back to Ramus, surrounding and turning on the Pope's patrons so far.
Although the Pope was not a puppet of the League of Merchants, the breadth of his faith had to be quite limited.
Later, when Lucretia's merchant gates were almost wiped out by Albrecht, they were released again.
Valentina was still supporting the Holy See, but she couldn't hold the Pope in one hand as long as the League was solid.
The Pope sent John to draw Albrecht in. The Catholic Church still needed someone's protection.
As Valentina, I was more interested in finding out inside the Holy Father's Church and looking into the situation and accompanying John.
Albrecht wondered why Cardinal Johann came with Valentina, but said with a smile rather than a stiff look.
“It's been a long time, Johan. How have you been? Are you all right, Holy Father? ”
John, who was trembling, smiled as the king greeted him. No matter how much I looked at it, it seemed a bit dull.
However, Albrecht did not underestimate him as it could be different from his inner impression.
“I saved your life. You saw the villages of those terrible wildlings the other day. Ever since I saw it, I've been praying for cruelly sacrificed pilgrims every day. The Pope, like me, wouldn't have left Olvietta if it wasn't for you. Since His Majesty established the Holy Father's Church and restored it to the Holy Land, He is truly a guardian of the cross and a knight blessed by God. ”
Unlike the dumbfounded impression, John was a close talker. The bishops and priests were mostly moonlighters, and John seemed to have done the same thing.
Albrecht wondered why it didn't matter if he was moonlight or not.
It could have been just a courtesy to the king, but Albrecht didn't seem to think so.
But whether Albrecht suspected it or not, what John said was more true than exaggeration.
Albrecht took the Pope on the run to Ramus, where he helped him regain his authority.
And there was no one in the world who didn't know Albrecht had taken back the sanctuary.
Albrecht was somehow told that he was the guardian of the cross.
“That's a compliment. I'm just protecting good and innocent people. In fact, I don't care what people believe. There is a territory for the Northmen next to Caltern.There are still many who believe in the god of war and thunder, Ferdin. I respect their faith. So it doesn't seem right to say" guardian of the cross. "”
Albrecht pretended to be quiet and wanted to stay away from the church on purpose.
The law did not guarantee the freedom of religion, but people did not interfere with the Old Testament or the Old Testament, whether they believed in the Old Testament or the Crusade.
In Albrecht's words, John speaks directly to his Pantheon, without a thought.
“That part really upsets me. They do not realize the love of God in all things of the world, and the pagans called war and thunder believe in God, so they are so cruel. So, by the way, if you donate the bishop to our Holy Father's Church, we will make our best efforts to preach. Leading the cruel and ruthless into the arms of God, it would certainly be good for them. ”
Albrecht leans against the back of the throne and shakes his head.
When talking about religion with believers, it seemed to tire people out more quickly than any other conversation.
Albrecht was able to point out their contradiction accurately and sharply, but his religious discourse seemed to end with a red face and threatening John.
“There will be no donations to the Holy See. No, to be precise, I give my lands to those I acknowledge, regardless of status. If there is a priest among them, he just naturally becomes the bishop. ”
Albrecht said he would never donate land to the Holy See. Then John suddenly stuttered, saying, "Hey, hey......"
After the religious discourse was over, Albrecht came down to the realities of the matter and spoke firmly. Albrecht said, looking at Karfen, who is closest to him.
“I think the Pope is very uncomfortable with his life, so give him some money to send. ”
“I understand.”
The church is a system that makes the Pope the chief, so technically Carpen was also under the Pope. But it was only a formality, and he was almost a second-rate fighter.
Because transportation and communication were extremely undeveloped, monasteries and churches all over the world were practically impossible to follow.
So they used to be loyal to the lord of the realm, who could have taken advantage of them and killed themselves.
In the way God was embraced throughout the North Continent, there were many differences in the region.
Especially in the case of Western Velez, Zairex was regarded as a god of war and victory. It was far from love.
Karfen was scared of Albrecht, but he liked what he was doing, and most of all, I had never seen the Pope before, and I didn't want to follow him.
When Albrecht almost begged John and gave the toast, John exclaimed urgently.
“Hey, there! Your Holiness, the Holy Father is in the process of treating you as an adult. The conquest is already over. ”
The people inside the chapter of the Declaration of Bomb of John murmured. What did I just hear? Oh, my God, a living saint!?
But Albrecht's judgment was wrong. I thought the Pope was a poet because he put on one leg by himself.
Originally, protests and poetry were difficult to verify, and most of all, subjects had to go directly to the Pope.
However, he decided to use Albrecht to establish his authority, ignoring such things.
Albrecht's eyes start to tingle with the flames of fury. At the crack of dawn, the ambient air begins to tremble and the atmosphere grows violent. Who dares to do what I want?
Albrecht once said that even when Zigmunt tried to make himself king, even when Amaz admitted he would be king, he wanted to be king himself and would not be drawn into the hands of others.
Likewise, no matter how glorious the position was, I didn't like the way the Pope's office acted, ignoring his opinions.
When the king's reaction, which he thought he would like, was unusual, the in-laws trembled with fear.
It was also a bold Albrecht when he beheaded the party members of Lucretia, but even Valentina lost her cool and looked frightened when she expressed her anger outright.
Albrecht rises from his throne and holds a bolt of lightning axe against the wall. Then, with an ax, he pointed to John.
“You want to see me as an adult? Listen to me. I am the twelfth apostle sent by God to govern wars and victories. I have performed the miracle of defeating 100,000 Amazes with 10,000 hands, killing dragons with my human body, and their skulls are in Halberk Castle. ”
The prophet Zairex was almost a military leader when he drove out the Orcs and Goblins, and his commanders and disciples were called 11 apostles.
One of them, Bartali, came across the continent and settled in Ramus and began to preach the cross.
Albrecht himself wanted to rise to the apostle's rank, as if he had become king himself.
The people are appalled. The apostle goes beyond the saint and speaks of someone who is directly connected to God.
Originally, the Pope was an intermediary who connected people with God. Therefore, Albrecht said that he would not be under the influence of the Pope because he was directly connected with God.
Occasionally, madmen in the streets would kill the apostle of God, but people would not hesitate or be beaten by molestation.
Though their king may not be mad, people freeze to death with such profanity. In a way, it could be blasphemy against God.
John speaks so blasphemously of Albrecht, his mouth twitching and pointing fingers at Albrecht.
Albrecht cries out, looking up at the dome in the ceiling.
“God! If I am a liar, let this throne not budge!" If you are truly an apostle of God, let this throne grow on both sides! ”
The hall of Aseng is the place where the sound is loud, but people are distressed by the thunder of Albrecht.
The whole hall goes boom! Dust flowed from the ceilings and ten springs. Albrecht's cry was the thunder itself, the wrath of God.
Albrecht immediately grabs the ax with both hands and slams down the throne.
The throne was as tall as a tall man, and was plated with gold on the outside, but the inside was made of wood that only originated from the Great Jungle, making it impossible to cut it down with weapons at once.
But as the axe went through the throne like a flash of light, both sides were neatly neat and perpendicular, without any banging or clumsy noises, as it had originally been made.
Inner people just burst into tears with Albrecht's thunder-like cry, and their souls flee to an unbelievable sight.
Albrecht points back to John with an axe.
“Go back and tell the Pope. The Pope is trying to save people's spiritual lives, and I'm saving reality. Tell him that if he tries to use me again carelessly, Orloth will bear the wrath of the apostle sent by God. ”
John stares at Albrecht dazed, staggering to his knees.
Albrecht sweeps people away with fire in his blue eyes. The knights, including Richard and Carpen, and the guild leaders, Valentina and his attendants, knelt down to Albrecht and cut the sign.
After leaving everything else, it appears that Albrecht's energy does not belong to man.
John immediately returned to Burinake Ramus after the Apostle Declaration of Albrecht.
Valentina has agreed to stay at the fortress for a while with Albrecht's permission.
I didn't know when I was coming back to Wrightingen again, so I was trying to understand how the royal family was doing.
Albrecht said she could stay in the castle as long as she didn't make any other arrangements, because she was clearly her own envoy.
Valentina didn't intend to do anything about Albrecht at first, but after the Apostle's Declaration, she just thought Albrecht was out of the picture.
So I stopped by the Sultan Palace or Rose Castle to exchange with the king's wives. It meant lining up because there was nothing wrong with knowing what to do with them right now.
Valentina liked Rosamund personally, but Maria liked herself even more.
Maria was very interested in art and fashion, and Lucretia is still the most developed cultural art in the world, so she called Valentina home for the day.
After the Apostle Albrecht's Declaration, the knights and soldiers unexpectedly responded to the grave.
They were all the ones who saw with their own eyes what dances Albrecht had performed on the battlefield.
Then, it seemed that the king was finally revealing himself, or that he had long thought he was not human, but did not know he was an apostle.
Religion was not yet firmly established, so the people of the royal family thought Albrecht was really an apostle of God.
Crossing the continent and destroying 100,000 Amazes and reclaiming the sanctuary or slaughtering dragons was a miracle, no matter what they thought.
The rich tried to make a statue that worshipped Albrecht, but Albrecht wouldn't let them all.
Not for any other reason, but because he thought that nothing could be more embarrassing than having his statue erected during his life.
But starting in the Slum, there were people who worshiped the tree or stone that had carved Albrecht in the house.
Especially since Albrecht himself was an apostle in charge of wars and victories, the mercenaries and knights all wore Albrecht gold coins with the face of Albrecht engraved on them.
The Catholic Church shrunk and did not react much. It was because, believe it or not, Orloth was not in a position to bear his anger.
Over time, the spring wheat harvest ended in the north and Lightningen, and the south has only just begun seeding autumn wheat.
People made beer out of barley, red wine from the south, white wine from the north, and honey liquor.
Albrecht unseals the wheat he had stocked and sells it to the people, replenishing the new harvested wheat shed.
The ordinary citizens of the royal province blossomed their culture and art on the rich food that Albrecht sustained, and worked diligently to rebuild the walls of the city.
Then, Zigmund returns to the throne with 30,000 men, along with Louise, Lord of Lauren.
