When this nun, whose eyes were covered by light gauze, appeared in everyone's sight, the nobles were all stunned.
who is she?
This question popped up in everyone's mind.
"Where are the guards outside the door?"
"Why didn't any guards stop her?"
Amid many suspicious and confused eyes, the nun in black smiled and walked steadily forward step by step.
The eyes of the nobles in the field were always focused on her.
The nun illuminated by golden light almost froze the air, as if not even the lingering sound dared to linger around her.
The lithe gait is like an ethereal fairy, covering the gorgeous ground silently.
It was as if her feet hadn't really touched the earth.
Seeing this, no one dared to act rashly.
When she passed Victor, the mysterious nun seemed to notice something and slowly turned around.
Even though her eyes were covered by black gauze, she still looked at Victor and gave him a soft smile.
At this time, Vega, who was sleeping on Victor's shoulder, also opened his tightly closed one eye.
Its eyes fell on the nun and scanned it from top to bottom.
Then, it fluffed its feathers and closed its deep eyes peacefully again.
The nun walked up to Archduke Barlow and smiled.
She directly ignored August, who was as silent as a puppet, faced Archduke Barlow, and said:
"I am Michaela Aurora, the bishop of the Church of Abundance in Shurburn."
"I have always been grateful for the care of the Grand Duke and Count Lauryn."
The nun clasped her hands in front of her chest and bowed.
The nobles who were as stunned as rocks reacted after hearing Michaela's introduction.
Bishop of the Church of Plenty?
What is she here for?
After many nobles reacted, they began to think.
The Church of Abundance simply relies on the territory of Shurburn for its existence.
Because in this huge kingdom, only the Sulburn area is willing to accept the Church of Abundance.
After all, if the residents in the territory believe in the church, then the lord's dominance over the territory will naturally decrease.
In order to ensure that their dominance is at the highest level, the lords will try their best to restrain the spread of faith and residents' contact with the church.
Of course, if the residents in the territory secretly believe in a certain god, the lords will not interfere with the residents' spiritual beliefs.
Of course, they have no right to interfere.
But Lauryn is different.
Not only did he accept the Church of Abundance, he even built a church for the church.
It would also be good for Shurburn if Lauryn did this.
Not only does it ensure a bumper harvest every year in the territory, but the annual agricultural output is an extremely huge wealth.
It even allows the residents living in Shurburn to have food and clothing without worries.
The residents who live here year after year have a hard time starving to death.
But this is also due to Count Lauryn's own ability.
His unique personality charm and leadership methods have puzzled countless nobles.
There was no way they could make the residents of the territory believe in the church while still ensuring their primary dominance.
Now, however, Shurburn needs to change its lord.
It is undeniable that the new lord will try to reduce the faith of the people of Shurburn in the Church of Plenty.
So, Bishop Michaela sensed the approaching crisis in advance, so he took the initiative to ask for a meeting with Archduke Barlow?
At this moment, the nobles saw the Archduke nodding to the Bishop.
It was agreed that the bishop continued to speak.
The nun smiled slightly and her soft voice sounded again:
"As for the lordship of Shurburn, I think it is necessary for the heirs of Count Lauryn to continue to inherit."
When the nobles present heard this, they became restless.
Naturally, they did not agree with the bishop’s proposal:
"What, this is impossible!"
"Shurburn has a large number of people, how can a descendant of the vampire family inherit it?"
"What Lauryn did is unforgivable!"
The lords finally figured it out. This bishop came to see Archduke Barlow, obviously to ensure the status of the church.
If Pulisis is allowed to inherit her title and territory, the Church of Abundance will be able to maintain its current status in Shurburn.
What Abundance Church?
He is obviously an accomplice of the vampire!
"We will never allow a monster who wants to drain everyone in the territory to inherit Shoulben!"
This is what many lords think.
The bishop turned back to face the nobles who had set off a wave of opposition.
At this moment, facing the bishop in front of them, the emotions of these nobles calmed down unreasonably.
The sanctity and calmness emanating from her make people dare not offend her easily.
It seemed that as long as he faced her, the inner malice and anger would be dissolved by her spring breeze-like breath.
Facing the nobles who had become calm, Michaela still kept smiling, and her voice slowly sounded:
"During the reign of Lord Lauryn, the people in Shoulburn Territory lived a stable and prosperous life."
“The cloud of famine never fell over this land.”
Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
Although they were unwilling to do so, they could not deny this fact.
Although these noble lords commanded territories of varying sizes.
However, it is indeed unavoidable that residents will be displaced due to famine, suffer from lack of food, and even starve to death on the roadside.
During disaster years, the crime rate in the territory will increase significantly, and many robberies will occur in various places.
The reason for robbery is basically due to the problem of food and warmth.
Therefore, the lords were very worried about disasters.
But in this huge kingdom, only Shuerben had no worries about food and clothing for many years.
To a certain extent, this indeed shows that Earl Lauryn's management is indeed in place.
but……
Although some nobles' anger dissipated, they still said to the bishop stiffly:
"But that's obviously your credit. If it weren't for your divine power, how could Sulburn have had good harvests year after year?"
The other nobles nodded in agreement.
The divine power of the Church of Abundance is very powerful.
Many of you here have used the wheat ears with divine power that flow out from the church.
Although it is only effective for one year, it can indeed ensure a good harvest for the land.
So, the nobles continued to say to Michaela:
"You want to support the heirs of Lauryn just for the sake of the church's status in the territory."
"In this case, why don't we allow your church to exist? Why support a monster?"
When the nobles said these words, they would glance at Victor invariably.
When they saw Victor with his eyes closed and no reaction, they breathed a sigh of relief and gradually became bolder.
But after hearing what everyone said, Michaela just smiled slightly:
"Do you really think that just by relying on the blessings of the gods, you can definitely feed everyone in Shurburn?"
Lazy people will never work hard for a piece of fertile land.
People with evil intentions will always only think about stealing the fruits of other people's harvests and destroying other people's fertile soil.
But in Shurburn, there has never been such a person.
"It wasn't Shurburn who made Lauryn, it was Lauryn who made Shurburn what he is today."
This has nothing to do with the divine power of the goddess of fertility.
The nobles present fell into an unbreakable silence.
They had to admit that Shoulburn's people's livelihood was indeed as described by Michaela.
However, there is still a key issue that they cannot compromise on.
“Monsters are meant to be monsters.”
"My Lord Bishop, how can you be sure that Pulisis won't do the same thing?"
Prixis is also a vampire. Logically speaking, she should have been expelled long ago.
If it wasn't for Victor, she would have left the kingdom long ago.
Michaela turned her head and "looked" at the nobles who spoke.
Even though their eyes were separated by tulle, several nobles could still occasionally feel a real gaze.
It's like... a serious and gentle gaze like a mother.
This alone is enough for the nobles to know that this bishop of the Church of Abundance is by no means an ordinary person.
Then, the bishop's gentle voice sounded in the air again:
"You reject Prixis just because she is the daughter of Count Lauryn."
"But Lauryn is dead, and his daughter has nothing to do with Lauryn."
"But since you're worried, that's fine."
Mikaela stretched out her finger as if she suddenly came up with a solution, her voice full of expectation:
"Prixis is still young after all. Even if she takes over the title, she may have difficulty managing the territory."
"Then it's better to find someone who can serve as Pulisis' guardian and temporarily replace her territory and title."
The nobles present looked at each other in shock upon hearing this suggestion.
"And this person must be strong enough so that he can teach Pulisis."
"It must have enough prestige to convince everyone."
"It must have sufficient status so that it can lead Shurburn to greater prosperity."
This suggestion made by Michaela made everyone think deeply.
Someone who meets so many conditions?
Where to find it?
Not to mention finding a needle in a haystack, it's still a clueless one.
Apart from Archduke Barlow, is there anyone else in the entire Kanter Kingdom who can achieve these three points at the same time?
When the nobles were confused, Michaela pulled out a golden ear of wheat flowing with divine power from her black long sleeves.
Under the faint light, it shines brightly.
"In this case, let God's will choose this person from those present."
The nobles looked at this ear of wheat and all closed their mouths.
Instead, they all stretched their necks and looked at the wheat ears curiously.
The golden light above the wheat ears gradually became dazzling, and wisps of light quickly slid on the steel wall and passed through the bodies of the nobles present.
The golden light flowed through the lead-colored robes, slowly slowing down.
When the light was about to stop, the nobles all held their breaths, their hearts were pounding, and they swallowed their saliva.
But in the end, the misty light gradually fell on Victor.
The golden light shone on Victor's windbreaker, and it looked like a stream passing through the lines on the windbreaker and covering Victor's back.
The nobles present were all stunned, with their mouths wide open and their eyes as wide as bells.
Feeling the blazing light covering his body, Victor slowly opened his eyes.
He saw the blindfolded bishop, still with a smile on his face, looking at him gently:
"So, Mr. Victor."
"Are you willing to replace the deceased Earl Lauryn and become Prixis's father?"
