"Sir Edward is really … loyal." Gills smiled embarrassedly.
Edward bowed and said, "Yes, this is the duty of every vassal." He paused for a moment and said, "Apart from paying my respects to Lord Gills, there are two other things I would like to ask for your help, Count."
Gills sat up straight and spread out his hands. "Speak."
"The first is about Sir Allen. Lord Allen's territory, combat strength, and military strength have reached the standards of a viscount of the empire. Therefore, Sir Allen entrusted me to ask you, Count, to apply for the qualification examination to the local Overwatch Council. Lord Allen hopes to obtain the viscount's certification as soon as possible. He has been in the position of baron for too long, and it is time to raise his position. I wonder what the Count thinks of this? "
Gills was stunned and glanced at Grar. The latter didn't seem to have thought of this question and was unable to respond to the count for a moment. Under Edward's questioning gaze, Gills could only smile dryly and say, "That's right. With Sir Allen's current strength, it's not too much to be promoted to viscount. Leave this matter to me. I'll have someone draft an application document later. It will be submitted to the local Overwatch Council by tomorrow at the latest. "
Edward bowed deeply, "Thank you very much. Lord Allen will be very happy to hear this news."
"It's a piece of cake. It's a piece of cake. "Gills nodded." What's the second thing? "
The second thing is just a small matter. "Edward smiled faintly," There is a new church on our border. Sir Allen himself is a believer of this church. He believes that faith in this church will help him strengthen his goals and confidence. And now, Sir Allen's territory has spread to the neighborhood of Ark Harbor, so Lord Allen hopes that you can allow this church to enter Ark Harbor and Dawn Castle to preach. "
"Oh, is there such a thing? Even someone like Sir Allen is their believer. It seems that this church is very interesting. What's its name? "Gills asked curiously.
"Christianity." Edward said the name of a church that had never been spread in the Empire. "The god they believe in is the Almighty God."
"Almighty God?" "There\'s nothing new about that. Don\'t all the gods of the sects claim to be omnipotent?" Glar laughed.
"Indeed, but Christianity is a little different. Because it has a messenger of God who walks in the world. Through her eyes, God gives mortals warnings about the future. " Edward pretended to be mysterious and said, "That Miss Vera's prophecy has never failed until now. The Count only has to send someone to the frontier to make some inquiries, and he will know all about it. "
Grar obviously didn't believe it and smiled, "The Church has used this kind of method before. Later on, it was proven to be fake. Moreover, they angered the supreme of the empire and were burned to death on the stake. There are many examples of them being burned to death. "
"Whether it's true or not, time will prove everything."
"I don't think I need time to prove it. Let Miss Vera come in later. If she can predict the future of me or the Count, then there's no harm in letting this Christianity preach in the territory. "Grar waved his hand.
Edward looked at him deeply and said, "Can Lord Grar\'s words replace the Count\'s decision?"
Glar immediately shivered. He had forgotten that Gills was no longer the kid he used to be, but the dignified Count. What he said was indeed a bit too much. He looked at Gills, and sure enough, the young count\'s eyes flashed with displeasure. The expressions of the two of them fell into Edward\'s eyes again. He saw everything in his eyes and had some understanding of Gills\'s temperament.
Looking at Edward again, the expression in Glar\'s eyes changed. From the moment Edward stepped into the study, he saw that he was younger than Allen, so Glar didn\'t pay much attention to him. Now that Edward had caught hold of the handle that he had accidentally left behind and followed the situation to provoke his relationship with Gills, he knew that this young man was not simple. He and Allen were not the same kind of people. Allen was difficult to deal with because of the powerful strength he possessed. Whether it was his personal combat strength, the strength of his core team, or those elite special troops, none of them were ridiculously strong. Therefore, he acted swiftly and straightforwardly, completely ignoring the thoughts of people like Grar who had no real power. Edward, on the other hand, took a different route. This seemingly weak youth was good at seizing opportunities, and in a few words, he quietly dropped a trap. If he didn\'t pay attention to dealing with such a person, he would probably fall into his trap and be in the dark.
Gills coughed dryly and said, "I\'m also very interested in Miss Vera, but I don\'t have to be as harsh as Sir Grar said. There are no sects in Ark Harbor right now. If this Christ has real talent and teachings that lead people to good, it\'s not impossible for them to preach in the territory. But before that, I would like to ask Miss Vera to give me a hint. I wonder if this magical lady has come with Sir. "
Edward nodded and said, "She and Father Miro are in the living room. Miss Vera is the Holy Maiden of the Church, and Father Miro is … the Pope."
Although Miro was the head of the Church, with the current size of the Church, he could not even be considered a bishop, so he had always called himself a priest and had no title. Now that he had to establish himself in Ark Harbor and the Church would continue to expand in the future, Edward decided to settle the title for him now so that there would be no more disputes in the future.
However, Gills had a very vague concept of the Pope, so he didn\'t ask. He just nodded his head in confusion. With this nod, he recognized Miro\'s priest, and it would be much more convenient for the Church to act in the future. Beside him, Glar sighed in his heart. Gills was still too young. With a little provocation from Edward, he rejected his suggestion in order to establish his dignity as an Earl. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself that he should push out his previous plan as soon as possible so that Edward wouldn\'t continue. He was afraid that Gills would become less and less fond of him.
Allen was an invincible commander on the battlefield, but Edward was a first-rate lobbyist in the officialdom. His mouth was no worse than Allen\'s performance on the battlefield. The two of them were actually together, and Glar felt that this combination was an incomparable headache. Fortunately, Allen wasn\'t here now. They lacked the support of a strong force, so it would be more or less beneficial to their plan.
Glar coughed dryly and looked at Gills with a smile on his face, "Count, didn\'t you say that you had something to discuss with Sir Edward?"
Gills let out an "ah" sound, as if he remembered something, and stammered, "Yes." Edward looked at him and Glar, and remembered Butler Mace\'s reminder. He had already anticipated what was going to happen. He didn\'t expose it, but deliberately asked, "Count, I wonder what it is?"
"This, I think …" Gills looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. The young count rubbed his hands uneasily under the table and looked at Glar with an inquiring gaze. The latter winked, and Gills braced himself and said, "Well, in view of Sir Allen\'s current lack of managerial talent, I would like to recommend a few people to Sir Edward. I believe they will be able to help Sir Allen look at such a large territory."
After a pause, he said to Glar, "Is that so, viscount?"
Grar cursed in his heart for being an idiot. Didn\'t Gills tell Edward that he was the one who came up with the idea? Sure enough, Edward looked at him with a smile on his face, and Glar hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, that\'s the plan you decided on. I\'ve consulted it for you. It\'s absolutely feasible, and it\'s for the good of Sir Allen. "
"So that\'s how it is." Edward was calm. How could he not know that Glar\'s idea was to plant his own people within them? This was a good move. No matter how bad the chess pieces were, they could still act as their eyes and ears. If Allen or Edward were more incompetent, these chess pieces could display their power and silently seize Allen\'s power from within. The idea was not bad, but it was just a little too much to take for granted.
Edward bowed and said, "Thank you very much for your consideration of Lord Allen, but I don\'t think the Count needs to worry too much about this. Since I\'m here, there\'s no problem with managing the territory. Lord Allen trusted me, so he asked me to take charge of the territory on his behalf. "
Before Gills could say anything, Glar sneered, "Sir Edward is too conceited. You don\'t even know who the Count wants to recommend, so you refuse. Does Sir Edward think that he alone can defeat the candidate recommended by the Count? "
"Why not?" Edward straightened his body, and his pupils turned from light blue to platinum, revealing a threatening light. "No matter how many mediocre people there are, what\'s the use? I alone am enough to manage the territory. Besides, if I can\'t even manage a small viscount\'s territory well, Lord Allen would have kicked me away long ago. "
These words were so arrogant that Glar was speechless for a long time. Gills was also stunned by Edward\'s overflowing confidence. A moment later, he said embarrassedly to Glar, "Look, I told you that Sir Allen doesn\'t need us to worry about him. Alright, that\'s the end of this matter. "
Then he said to Mace, "Go and get Miss Vera."
The butler pushed the door open and left. Edward stood to the side gracefully. He was no longer the main character on the next stage, so there was no need to steal Vera\'s limelight. He stood beside Glar and lowered his voice, "Such a clumsy idea must have been your doing, Lord Glar. I\'ve heard Lord Allen mention you before, but I didn\'t expect you to be a hundred times stupider than Lord Allen had described you." Sir Glar, the next era is Lord Allen\'s stage. I advise you not to do anything superfluous, or you won\'t even have the qualifications to be an audience. "
"You!" Glar\'s entire body trembled as he turned around and glared angrily.
