269 ??Twelve proposals
Osborne has been very tired recently.
Since the last time he ran to the council hall to convey the meaning of the pope, but was recognized by Long Xiang as a prophet on the spot, Osborn's distress began... He regretted more than once why he did not deny it at that time? But no matter how distressed he was, he knew in his heart that even if he did it again, he would never betray his adoptive father.
Not denying means admitting, and he was forced to confirm his identity as a prophet.
In order to appease the people who were panicked in the demon incident in the royal city, Osborne's deeds were announced.
So the people of the royal court all knew that the young man named Osborne, who used a white light column to destroy the black mist above the royal city, began to be admired and worshipped by countless people.
As the Cathedral of Light was "renovated" and reopened, more people poured into it and prayed devoutly than before.
The dragon ignored this and said only once that his reason was that to survive the dark age prophesied by the Great Sage, one must play the role of a prophet. Given the mystery and majesty of the dragon, other members of the inner world also acknowledged the revival of the Holy See.
The pope's mind was ready to move.
In the past half month, Osborne was instructed by the pope and ran in every few days. Relying on his identity as a prophet, he gritted his teeth and proposed as many as eleven proposals to the important officials of the court at the meeting! Including requiring the treasury to return the property of the Holy See, requiring the sharing of the royal family's intelligence network, requiring tax exemption, and requiring the addition and expansion of churches in various places...
Some of them were passed and some were rejected. In these trivial matters, Long Xiang was silent and abstained as always, and thus became a polite battle between Osborne, the Holy See, and other ministers represented the royal family. The traps and shirking of responsibility under the smiles and politeness of Osborne are the root of Osborne's tiredness!
He didn't like this atmosphere very much, but he had to come because the Pope said it was a necessary exercise for him! He was the future heir to the Holy See...
Even Osborne, who was simple-minded, could see the Pope's eagerness.
Indeed, the dark memories of childhood made Osborn believe that people are born with evil. He firmly believed in every word in the Book of Genesis and agreed with the Father's ideal! He also hoped that the faith of light would spread to every inch of land, and one day to establish an ideal country with the will of God above the royal power and above everything... But all this seemed too fast.
Osborne didn't know that the Pope had only one year's life. In fact, within one year, it would be too slow for Pope Arnold to complete the original plan for decades...
And today, Osborne is particularly troubled.
He walked on the way to the Council Hall, thinking about how to speak, because today's proposal seemed very difficult to him, almost more difficult than the previous eleven proposals!
It is about the titles of the Sacred Knight and the Knights of the Goddess...
The Carl family has always governed the country with aristocratic system and knight system. The "nobles" are local people's livelihood lords and have a series of local jurisdictions such as tax collection, while the "knights" are commanders of force. Only knights can establish large-scale armed forces such as the Knights, and all other militant organizations are not allowed! The nobles and knights are granted by the king themselves, and can also be taken back by the king at any time, thus ensuring the absolute rule of the Carl royal family over the entire kingdom.
Osborne's mission today is to propose inwardly to add the title of "Sacred Knight".
The Holy Knights are granted by the Pope! The local knights formed by the "Sacred Knights" are collectively called the "Goddess Knights"!
On the surface, it was said that it was established to resist the increasing number of dark forces in various places since the night of the overlap, but Osborne knew very well that the Holy See's court had already vaguely competed with the Royal Knights. If the "Knights of the Goddess" were established again to compete with the original "Local Knights" in various places, then the Holy See can really be said to be completely afraid of the Carl royal family in terms of force!
Osborne didn't know what kind of reaction would be... If the previous eleven proposals were a tiger spinning around the lion's territory and roaring twice without any pain, then this proposal almost jumped in front of the lion without any concealment, with teeth and claws!
With random thoughts, I finally walked to a thick and quaint metal door.
Knights Castle Council Hall, arrived.
Osborne took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door.
First of all, he was stunned, because the number of people today was less than nine, but only eight. After a little thought, Osborne learned that the maritime minister "Steve" was absent.
"The Adventurers Competition in Jumo City has begun, and there are always people who want to represent the royal family to participate." Chancellor Jared explained with a smile.
This short old man is best at setting off the atmosphere of the meeting as if everyone is happy, even though it is obviously everyone is angry. I remember the time when he suggested that the treasury spit out all the money from the Holy See. The old man in charge of the treasury key was concerned about his post-war recovery while slamming the price. In the end, he deducted a full 30% of the "repair fee" before he was willing to return it.
"Yeah." Osborne didn't know what to say, so he could only walk over slowly and sit down at the end of the long table.
Opposite him, on the other side of the table, was the sleepy little king of Carl XVI. Here he could only see half a crooked crown... On both sides of the long table are seats for the Interior Minister, each of which has a long history, and Osborne's chair was temporarily added, and he has been sitting here for the past half month.
However, today, the situation is different.
Osborne's butt just touched the chair, and was still thinking about how to make a request and how to speak, but the dragon star sitting on the king's right suddenly spoke.
"Why not sit here?" Long Xiang pointed to the wide but dusty seat opposite him, "Sit here."
Osborne was stunned.
"The Dragon Head Prime Minister is the right hand of the king, but the Chief Pastor is the left hand of the king." Long Xiang's voice was far away, and he still remembered the past. "The Dragon Head was alert to the past and reminded the kingdom to be built on the corpse of the lava dragon. The national teacher represents the future and uses great prophecy to help the kingdom avoid misfortune... The left and right hands assisted the king together, which was like this since the kingdom was first built..."
"184 years ago, the chief pastor proclaimed himself the pope, and from that time on, this seat has been vacant... Now, the age of darkness has come again, and as a prophet, you should return to this seat..."
Osborne was completely stunned.
He was still struggling with how to propose today's proposal. This proposal itself is a key move for the Holy See to be on par with the royal family, but he did not expect that before he could speak, he was led by Long Xiang!
Can he sit down?
Obviously not!
What are the seats for those ten seats? They are the seats inside, the seats of the ministers! If you sit on them, you must assist the Karl royal family as a courtier!
If Osborne really sat down, the Pope would definitely be furious!
Chapter completed!
