Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 176

Elvis rode a carriage all the way to the cathedral in the city center.

The church looks brand new from the outside. In order to match the increasingly powerful influence of the Angle Bay Alliance, the church spent huge sums of money to build this magnificent building on the edge of the downtown square in Nessberg.

Compared with the old church in the eastern part of the city, in addition to being more ornate, this new church occupies a larger area and is also taller. Its tallest building, the Great Bell Tower, is even larger than the zhèngfǔ building used by the Alliance Council. —The golden tower is still a bit higher. In order to facilitate people to go up and down, the big clock tower also placed hanging baskets.

Presumably it won't be long before the iconic building of Nissberg will change from a golden tower to this cathedral.

Elvis got out of the carriage and came to the gate of the church, and found that there was a reward notice posted nearby for clues to Lady Fanny.

He shook his head mockingly.

"Hmph! Unexpectedly, the person you are looking for with so much effort is in this church in the city center."

He continued to walk into the cathedral, and the monks and believers he met along the way saluted him one after another, while Elvis returned the salute one by one, without the slightest arrogance like he just did in the embassy.

An emerald bird flew up from his carriage, and it circled around the door of the hall, as if hesitating whether to fly in through the gate.

It turned to the side of the cathedral and found that all the windows on the wall were open. Just as it was about to pick a window and fly in, Elvis came out from a small door next to it.

He turned around and walked towards the courtyard behind the church.

The bird turned around and flew towards the courtyard behind.

Bishop Elvis seemed to be in a good mood. He walked briskly into the courtyard, which was quite elegantly arranged, with flowers and plants planted on the ground. It was a place for the clergy in the church to take a walk after dinner and cultivate their bodies and minds.

The bishop soon found the person he was looking for. A man also dressed in priestly attire was feeding the birds in the courtyard. He was holding a small box full of grains in his hand.

A large group of birds of various colors surrounded him, chirping and pecking at the grains he sprinkled on the ground from time to time.

Elvis said with a smile: "Your Excellency Anthony, I can't find you inside, so I guess you are here to feed the birds again."

The other party didn't look back, and was still looking at the birds all over the ground. Strange to say, these birds were not afraid of him.

"How did the princess react?"

"Hmph! I said I wanted to think about it, and I set a deadline for him. If she hasn't agreed to our conditions by this time tomorrow, then their family will be ruined."

"Sigh~ You really don't care about beauty at all. I heard that Her Highness Helen is a well-known beauty in Jiaowan."

Elvis frowned, such frivolous words should not come from a priest.

But the other party is a special envoy from the holy capital, and he doesn't want to make the relationship deadlocked.

"For the glory of my Lord, I will find a way to overcome all difficulties on the road, whether it is real or spiritual."

The man whom he called Anthony turned around and said in an admiring tone: "It is indeed Mr. Elvis, with a pious and capable bishop like you sitting in Jiaowan, the light of my lord will surely shine on everyone here. body."

Elvis puffed out his chest, he accepted the other party's compliment frankly, but he still had to be humble.

"Where, if it weren't for the information brought by Your Excellency Anthony, I would still be in the dark about the small actions of the Alliance Council. I am ashamed to say that they are making small moves under my nose, and I didn't even notice it."

"Oh~" Anthony let out a long sigh.

Elvis was a little puzzled, "Why are you sighing?"

Anthony looked sad and indignant.

"I'm sighing, there are devout servants of God like you in the local area who are dedicated to spreading the glory of the Lord, but there are quite a few people in the holy capital who are holding back."

"Are... you're dragging your feet? What do you mean?"

"It's hard to say!" Anthony's expression seemed to be arguing for Elvis.

"There will always be such villains around His Majesty the Pope. They are critical of the witch hunt launched by Jiaowan and always accuse you of causing unnecessary trouble for the church."

A look of hatred quickly appeared on Elvis' face.

"Shameful traitors! Shameful heretics! They should all be tied to the stake and burned alive!"

In Elvis's heart, people who are labeled with these two labels are more hateful than heretics and unbelievers. These guys will stab you in the back without knowing what.

Anthony added fuel to the fire: "What's more, some clerics proposed to do a 'píngfǎn' for the group of wizards. The reason is that there is no record in the holy scriptures that every wizard is xiéè..."

"Father in heaven! Lord Almighty!"

Elvis yelled in horror, his whole body began to tremble because of his extreme anger.

The bishop pointed a finger at Anthony.

"You... what are you guys doing all day long? Why do you allow such nonsense people to stay in the holy capital? Why do you allow them to live in the world?"

Seeing that the bishop was about to lose his footing ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Anthony immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Master Elvis, we are also powerless. The situation in the Holy City... how should I put it, it is a bit complicated, especially the sensible man who engages in messy heresies every day, and the current Pope is a tolerant person. ..."

"Humph!"

Elvis snorted coldly, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with the heretics in the Holy City or the Pope.

Anthony whispered in his ear: "We are eagerly looking forward to having an extremely pious saint come to the Holy City to preside over the overall situation!"

Elvis heard the meaning in the other party's words, and he stared at Anthony with a pair of inquiring eyes.

Anthony smiled and said in a low voice, "The archbishop of Jiaowan is old and will soon have to arrange a successor. Has Sir Elvis ever thought about this?"

"I…"

Elvis stuttered suddenly.

"If I can serve the Lord of Light better, of course I will work tirelessly."

"Then it will be hard for Mr. Elvis. To tell you the truth, I am here this time to shoulder the task of secretly inspecting the bishops of various places in Jiaowan, and report the conduct of the adults to the headquarters of the Holy Capital. Therefore, my efforts in this regard There is still something to be said for personnel arrangements.”

This is more than just a little talk, Elvis suddenly burst into excitement.

"Your Excellency Anthony... No, Lord Anthony, you..."

Anthony waved.

"Don't do anything superfluous, I just like the piety in your heart! Please do your best within the scope of your current duties."

"I swear!" Elvis raised his right hand with a solemn face.

"I will sow the glory of the Lord in the hearts of every person in Jiaowan, and I will eradicate all the filth in Jiaowan!"
