The Different World of Demon Lord
Chapter 358: Do I Look Like an Idiot?
The conversation with Lydia was still very pleasant. Although this did not * * do anything to the fiancée, both parties once again had a new intuitive impression of each other in their hearts.
Very tacitly, neither of them mentioned the engagement, but in both hearts, the heart chose acquiescence.
After saying goodbye to Lydia, Li Yalin did not leave the church. After all, it was not that simple for him to come to the church this time. Even if there was a pope on top, it would not have been cancelled.
For example, he had to attend peace talks with the nobles of the princess in distress.
The so-called peace talks, obviously, were a desire of some bishops in the church and those royal nobles, according to their ideas, to suppress Lea Lin with the prestige of the church should still be fine, if Lea Lin refuses, then it is against the church, and then, like Barbarone, against the world!
Even though Li Yalin was really hostile to the Church, those comrade bishops naturally believed that Li Yalin was just a lucky man who could do this if he changed identities to others.
There is no way, these bishops, although one of them is of high rank, have lived in the church for too long and their minds have been fixed. In their eyes, Li Yalin is totally afraid to resist the church.
Unfortunately, they were all wrong. Li Yalin came, but it was only for the Pope. The peace talks were attended, but he came to beat the face.
When the peace talks began, Li Yalin was not allowed to talk, the noblemen of the troubled Wang Wang took the lead in crying. One tear at a time, the performance was called a realistic one, even Li Yalin looked to want to call for them well.
Immediately afterwards, several bishops of the Church also spoke, saying that since Li Yalin had responded to the Church's call, it was from a great cause that the noble lands of the Wang Dung should be returned, so as not to lose the clouds of kings.
To sum up, several bishops joined forces with the royal nobles to force Li Yalin to hand over his territory. If he handed over everyone's good friends, but if he refuses, you must consider the anger of the Church, and then you will be lost and disappointed.
Looking at the noise and noise of these clowns, Li Yalin felt quite amused. He looked up at the Pope and found that he was also looking at the scene with a kind of dramatic look, believing that the thoughts in the minds of the two people were the same at this moment.
“Cough cough, can I say something now? ”
An hour later, the other party's farce finally ended with a passage, a slight cough and Li Yalin finally seized the opportunity to talk.
As soon as Li Yalin opened his mouth, all eyes of the place were focused on him. Everyone was waiting quietly on how to choose.
“To be honest, I'm not very interested in territory or anything, but if you want me to return it, it's not impossible. ”
When Lea Lin said this, the bishops and the nobles of the King shouted. They thought Lea Lin would have to resist for a while. At least he would not have seen the territory handed over so easily, but now it seems that things are not as troublesome as expected.
“But I lost a lot of money when I was conscripting Barbarone, so if you want your territory back, at least make up for my loss first, right? ”
Just when everyone thought the big picture was set, Li Yalin turned things around.
To make up for the loss? It's no problem, these royal nobles don't care if they can redeem their territory for money.
“Is everyone okay with my proposal? I have a war loss stat here, and I can show you now, if you can afford my loss price, I will return your territory immediately. ”
Just as everyone was discussing it, Li Yalin handed out a few points of information to the royal nobles in good time, and after seeing the figures on the data, everyone was shocked.
A huge sum, a huge sum of money! Don't say that these royal nobles are already in trouble, even when they are in power, it will be difficult to collect the money.
I can't help it, the numbers on this are so exaggerated, it's unbelievable!
“This is impossible! How could your war losses be so great! I don't believe it!”
Because the numbers are too outrageous, naturally soon someone voiced their dissatisfaction. It was a nobleman in his thirties or so. Li Yalin remembered that he appeared to be the Duke of a small principality, and when he just performed in tears, it was his hardest effort.
“How many wars has Your Excellency been through? How do you know the loss of war isn't so great? I think your Excellency escaped without waiting for resistance when Barbarone attacked, right? If you think you can't afford to run away, then call it a fight, I'm afraid it's naive! ”
I had always expected someone to resist. Li Yalin was naturally ready. Whatever you say, I'll bite the number and see what you can do.
“You……”
Leah Lin's opening just poked the duke's soft ribs across the street. After all, this is absolutely true. He did escape step by step before the war began. He even cared about his men, as long as he didn't lose himself.
Without the war of rebellion, it is not even a battle. It can be seen how weak this guy is. If he dared to question Leah Lin in the name of the Church at the beginning, then now Leah Lin's cold hum has made him even dare not speak out.
“Me what? Am I wrong?” Leah Lin snorted coldly again, and now the Duke of Soft Eggs dared not even say a word back, turning his head and sitting back in his seat.
There's no way, who makes Li Yalin so powerful?
“It cannot be said that His Majesty's expropriation of Barbarone is in keeping with great justice, and I fear that if it comes out in pursuit of interests, it will damage His Majesty's prestige. ”
The Duke of Soft Eggs had nothing to say, but as the backstage of a group of royal nobles, the bishops could not sit down. Since the group of soft Eggs did not dare to lay down with Li Yalin Qiang, it was only possible for them to come out and solve the matter.
“Prestige? Lord Bishop, when I asked for Barbarone, did you know how much the soldiers were paid? Do you have any idea how much I've spent trying to calm the mood of the civilian population after I've attacked the ground? To build an army against Barbarone, I almost lost my family, you know? One word of prestige, one word of grandeur, and you put me out of my way? ”
Upon hearing the bishop's words, Li Yalin immediately resembled a firecracker. He asked the bishop mute words word for word.
Yes, he didn't know how much Lee Yalin was really spending, and he had no idea how much it would cost to fight back against Barbarone. Now that all the words had been spread out, he couldn't find any language to refute Lee Yalin.
“So, Lord Bishop, do I look like a fool? ”
Just when the bishop didn't know what to say, Li Yalin pointed his nose at him again.
“How could His Majesty Arryn be a fool? ”
The question was well answered and the bishop opened his mouth subconsciously, but just as his voice had fallen, Lea Lin nodded directly, expressing great agreement.
“Yes, I don't look like an idiot either, so why do you think, Lord Bishop, that I would return those territories for free? ”
“You…”
A beautiful slap directly into the bishop's face made it impossible for him to argue.
Yeah, none of them were fools, and now it's natural to see that Li Yalin was never prepared to return the territory he occupied, and if he did, he would be a real fool.
“What, the Bishop thinks I'm wrong? Actually, it's very simple, the territory I occupy, which my soldiers bought back with flesh and blood! If all of you here are uncomfortable with the loss of your territory, then you may well be unjustly indebted to the Lord. If you lose your territory from anyone, you will go to whomever you find, but if you find me on my head, I will not accompany you! ”
By the time Li Yalin said this, it was already an ultimatum, fully expressing his attitude.
Didn't you want territory? It has nothing to do with me anyway.
So obvious, everyone can naturally understand, but it's only because they understand that it makes people feel like a pit father.
How did they lose their territory? Naturally it was occupied by Barbarone. Now Leah Lin says there are no grievances, no debts, no debtors, but do they dare to go to Barbarone's trouble?
Stop it, if they dare, they will not sit here today, but should die in their own territory.
Piece of crap!
When everyone shut up, Li Yalin also snorted coldly in his heart. He knew that one of these guys was bullying and afraid of hardship. He felt that the benefits would go forward. He was the first to withdraw if he was in danger. There was simply no desirable place to live, waste the air, die wasting the land, it was worse than garbage!
So he doesn't have to give these guys any good looks at all.
“Cough, now that His Majesty has indicated his attitude, then our Church has no right to intervene anymore. If you have any further problems, you can go to His Majesty alone and resolve them privately, and this meeting is over. ”
At the end of the day, the Pope coughed softly and gave his final summary of the meeting, which was also a complete dissolution of the minds of the royal nobles.
What does the Pope mean by that? Obviously, the church doesn't help you anymore, so go find Li Yalin for yourself.
Looking for Li Yalin?
Who dares?
