"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Kalemi immediately denied, "Why would a rebellious king who lives overseas dare to challenge the church? Even if he has extraordinary ability and controls a small country in a few years, he can rely on a How can a small country stand up to the church?"
"Actually, I can't figure this out." Xiaoshuai said helplessly, "Maybe he's a lunatic with an oriental face."
"Anyway, I'll go back and talk to Brother Dog about this matter..."
"Here comes the food!" Before Kalemi could finish his words, several men in black cloaks brought the plates to their table.
Xiaoshuai greeted warmly: "Come, come, let's talk while eating. I taught the cook here many of the stir-fried dishes, Dajing flavor! This spicy fried sea cucumber dish is particularly famous in Balin Street."
The dishes in front of him looked very appetizing, and Kalami happily picked up a piece of sea cucumber and put it into his mouth.
A wonderful taste suddenly spread out, diluting the nausea caused by the large intestine.
"Hey! Don't tell me, this spicy fried sea cucumber is so delicious, crispy and tender!"
"Well, making this dish is troublesome. Sea cucumbers have to be pounded hundreds of times to achieve such a crisp and tender texture."
"Hmm...huh?!"
.....
"Father Solje, why are you the only one back? The Dajing people made a big fuss in Feka back then. Do you know about this? Did they abuse the missionary group?"
In the Feka Palace, the Archbishop and the Duke of Alves were both present, and both of them had their eyes fixed on Father Sorje.
When the Dajing fleet made a scene in the execution ground, they thought these people would never come back.
Father Solje said with a guilty conscience: "I heard a little bit about this matter later, but Dajing still treats us with courtesy. I am the only one willing to come back, and the others want to stay in Dajing to continue... Preach.”
Dajing did not embarrass the missionary group and allowed them to preach?
The archbishop was a little surprised and said: "Preaching? How many believers did you develop this time, and how many churches are there?"
Father Sorje was silent.
How many believers have been developed...minus 199.
Can you say this? He said he would definitely die here.
"Why don't you say anything?"
"We have built a cellar hall, but it is not finished yet because we have no money and others are still working to make money... so we don't have time to develop believers." Father Solje said obediently.
Archbishop Boran was furious: "Preaching nonsense! Doesn't this treat you as serfs! These damn Dajing people, are you an idiot?"
"They help us find jobs, and we get wages and various subsidies." Father Solje said aggrievedly.
"Shut up!" the Archbishop yelled, trembling with anger, "Tell me, what are they planning to do here this time? Do they want you to provoke and declare war on the church?"
"No, they just have a misunderstanding with our cultural differences. Dajing is a peace-loving country and wants to seek cooperation, so this time it comes with goodwill." Father Solje said with difficulty, "Dajing's fleet We are at sea now and can enter the port at any time. They asked me to communicate with you first, which is already full of sincerity."
The archbishop said angrily: "A country that loves peace, they are known as the most powerful country in the Far East. Such a country tells me that it loves peace? Do you think I haven't seen those arrogant and unreasonable Easterners?"
Recalling that when he was kidnapped and taken to the sea, the apostate forced him to talk about science and insult the Pope, and finally he was thrown into the sea, he felt even more humiliated.
Father Solje whispered: "Archbishop, this is really a misunderstanding. According to my observation, the officials in Dajing are very well-educated. Their officials respect the superiors and show humility to the subordinates. This is an Eastern virtue."
The archbishop was already angry. He picked up the book in his hand and pointed it at the priest: "Have you been bribed by them by speaking for them like this? In front of the Holy Father, tell me what benefits they gave you?"
Father Sorje felt like he had something stuck in his throat. He instinctively wanted to lie, but seeing the pure faith in front of him, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "They gave me a small house...but I earned it through labor."
"Okay, I really took a bribe! After making money, instead of building a church, I first thought about buying a family property for myself."
"Solje, I didn't expect that you would apostatize after you went out." The archbishop narrowed his eyes, "I will report this matter within the church tomorrow and wait for processing."
Father Solje's face suddenly fell into a state of great panic, and with a guilty conscience he could only keep mumbling: "I am not apostate...I am not apostate."
But at this moment, Duke Alves, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Archbishop, please calm down. Da Jing does have a conflict with our church, but this time they take the initiative to show their kindness and we have to see them, right?"
"See you, of course you can." The Archbishop looked at Father Solje, "Go back and tell the people of Dajing to send a high-ranking official to the church to confess before they can enter the port. I don't want to hear you talk anymore, get out of here! "
Hearing that the archbishop had issued an order to expel the guests, Father Solje turned pale and left the palace in despair.
After walking for who knows how long, he actually walked back to the port, staring at the sea with nothing in his mind.
He apostatized...he came back and turned out to be an apostate. Obviously he was the only one who didn't apostate. How should he explain it when the church sent someone to investigate.
He does have a house in Dajing, and it was given to him by Mr. Fang...
If he has to lie about something as trivial as owning a house overseas, is he still considered a loyal believer?
There is no basic honesty, and he may not even be considered a human being.
Then what qualifications does he have to preach and preach to others in the future?
"Father, why are you here? Didn't you go home and take a look?" Just when he was confused, a hand patted his shoulder.
Father Solje turned around and saw Kalemi forcing a smile.
"I was taking a walk, why are you back?"
"I'm about to go back."
Seeing his sluggish expression, Kalemi said seriously: "Something happened? Didn't we reach an agreement?"
"I went to see the archbishop..." The priest retold his previous experience, and his energy became a little weaker.
After hearing this, Kalemi sighed helplessly: "They actually slandered you as an apostate? This is too much! Father, please go home and rest first. Let's find a way to resolve the matter as much as possible, because it's really a matter of honor. It’s not good for anyone.”
The priest nodded sadly, pulled himself together and said, "Thank you very much. I'll go home first. I'm going to see the archbishop again tomorrow."
"Thank you, Father."
...
Inside the Brotherhood stronghold.
"Have you finished telling everything?" Xiaoshuai asked after just listening to Kalemi's narration.
Kalemi said helplessly: "That's what happened. I didn't expect that the priest didn't get the job done and was slandered, so I wanted to ask you if there is anything you can do about it?"
Xiaoshuai touched his chin and thought for a long time before smiling: "This matter is quite simple."
"How to solve it?" Kalemi was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.
"Give me three hours and I'll find someone to kill the Archbishop."
