Chapter 66 Marquis Rudolph
"Rudolf Arcado, Honorary Count of Elf Forest, came to pay a visit to Archbishop Rodaram." Arcado's housekeeper handed the famous post to the guard of the archbishop's mansion. Obviously, the guard was more knowledgeable than the doorman in the Marquis's palace. He nodded gently and went in to pass it.
Soon, the guard returned to the door and said to the housekeeper waiting outside, "Archbishop, please follow me."
"Okay." The housekeeper answered and followed the doorman. Arcado followed, followed by Dick. Four black armored knights stood at the door guarding the carriage and did not follow in.
The group soon came to the reception room. Archbishop Rodaram sat in the first place. His face was pale and he looked bad. It seemed that the gorgeous archbishop's dress did not stop him from weakening.
"Mr. Rudolph, do you have anything to talk about?" Rodaram asked.
"Archbishop, I'm here to seek your support. I hope you can propose a bill that prohibits the capture of elf slaves." Arcado stared at Rodaram and said bluntly. His words shook Dick's body behind him slightly.
"With all due respect, son, you should know that our sacred empire has never agreed to the existence of slave plunders. They have always been illegal, so your proposal did not hold from the beginning." Rodaram said with a smile.
"Archbishop Rodaram, I heard that you have not been in good health recently. I have a bottle of Chaohua nectar from the Elf Forest, which is the rumored spring of life in the human world. It can imprison the human body and control the deterioration of the disease. Although it can't last forever, it can really prolong people's life. The disadvantage is To accelerate the aging of the surface, I think Archbishop Rodaram needs this very much. After saying that, Arcado put a small crystal bottle in his hand on the table.
"Well, dear Mr. Rudolph, I think it's time to uphold justice for the injustice suffered by elf slaves. With the gods, I will propose this bill to Your Majesty, but I'm not sure whether this bill can be passed by Your Majesty." Rodaram is really not in good health now. He doesn't care about surface aging. He wants to live a few more days. So he slowly took away the beautiful crystal bottle on the table and said as if nothing had happened.
Acardo put his hand into his pocket, took out a golden bill, pressed it on the table and pushed it to Rodaram: "Archbishop, I want to increase the chances of passing this bill. You think this thing may work."
When Rodaram saw the flashing magic array light on the gold ticket on the table, his eyes lit up. What Arcado pressed in his hand was a gold ticket of 200,000 gold coins, and there was also a mithril carved ring carved by the Elf Forest Master.
Holding what Arcado pushed over with the other hand, Rodaram smiled and said, "I think, my friend, there is a much better chance of passing the bill."
Out of the residence of Archbishop Rodalam, Arcado and his party rushed to the home of Archbishop Leon Barton, and it was also easy to see the iron-fisted archbishop of the Holy Empire by using money to open the way.
Acudo explained Archbishop Rodaram's decision to Leon Barton, then smiled and said, "I think this cleanup of the slave fleet should be put in a very important position, and I hope Archbishop Leon Barton will support it."
"The military is not suitable to participate in this kind of work. You know that the internal and external troubles of the Holy Empire have been a headache recently. I can't agree to any of your requests now."
"What if a guarantee of the elves forest is added?" Arcado asked with a smile.
"What guarantee?" Leon Barton was obviously interested and asked immediately.
"The Elf Forest will promise not to support any country during this war, nor will it attack or assist any party during this war." Arcado said with a smile, "Complete neutral statement."
"This guarantee is not completely reassuring." Leon Barton curled his lips and said, "It has almost no binding force."
"At least you have this guarantee, don't you?" Arcado said with a smile, "If the Holy Empire tries its best to clean up the slave plunder, then I will also privately provide the military expenses of 500,000 gold coins to the Holy Empire for military operations against the slave plunder. At the same time, all the property of the slave plunder belongs to your military. Rodaram promises that it will never be questioned and difficult."
"It's a deal." Leon Barton got up and said, "I like talking to you. It's very interesting."
On the same day, Arcado, who came out of Archbishop Muse's house, had dinner in a quiet restaurant. After receiving a private sponsorship of 300,000 gold coins, Archbishop Muse also assured Arcado that the divine punishment would try his best to strangle the slave plunder and ensure a safe border environment for the elf forest.
The next morning, at the regular supreme meeting of the empire, Archbishop Rodaram proposed the "Act on the Elves' Forest to Clean Up Slavery" and fiercely criticized these slave traders and scolded these lawless businessmen as the masterminds who provoked Adams' rebellion. Just when Sloc argued that he had not yet made a good score. Leon Barton got up and stressed to the Pope that the Elf Forest is very important to the attitude of the Holy Empire at this stage. He suggested using the army to strangle the slave team to ensure the friendship of the Elf Forest, and mentioned that some people were willing to provide huge funds for this. Subsequently, Archbishop Meuse also suggested using the divine punishment department to supplement the army, completely eradicate the slave plunder, please the forest of elves, and show justice.
The three archbishops were of the same caliber, which slightly surprised Pope Dovilla's 27th. The four archbishops have been constrained each other for a long time, and now they have agreed on this matter, which makes Archbishop Sloc a little unprepared.
After thinking for a long time, the Pope decided to clean up the slave fleet and please the elf forest according to the opinions of the three archbishops. Archbishop Sloc's objection was rejected and the order took effect immediately. In addition, all the slave plunderers secretly supported by the Holy Empire will be integrated into an army and go to the southern battlefield.
In the afternoon, a bloody order was sent out of the holy city. Everyone who knew this order knew that this was definitely the beginning of a bloody storm. The order clearly stipulates that all human criminals who enter the forest of elves without permission will be killed on the spot.
And another confusing title has become the dinner of the nobles of the imperial capital. The three noble archbishops jointly recommended at the official regular supreme meeting of the empire. His Majesty personally ordered the canonization of the Holy Spirit Forest, Rudolf Arcado, owner of Rome Island, and promoted to Marquis of the Holy Empire. The canoned reading was carried out in the Pope's Hall for the first time. With such a glorious reward, the canoned party was even more bloody absent.
