Chapter 70 Joint Law Enforcement
Longinus looked at the dead girl in amazement.
Duke Ross blocked half of his face with a folding fan, and his whole body was trembling with a smile. His beautiful big eyes smiled like two small moons.
Archbishop Loren twitched all over. At this moment, he wanted to strangle Longinus with his own hands.
He even regretted that when he selected the most burly and strongest among his peers from the orphanage of the Golden Oak Church, why didn't he throw him into the well of the orphanage when he picked out the most powerful and strongest among his peers?
Even Archbishop Loren had strong doubts about the mechanism by which the Golden Oak Church cultivated church knights.
These professional thugs do not need brains.
But at least, at least, don't let them be stupid as Longineus!
When Longinus just explained how he had clashed with Joe, so many people could hear it clearly. Longinus firmly told everyone that he had a conflict with Joe in order to protect the devout believers of the church.
Devout believers in the church!
Looking at the girl who was already scared to the ground, Archbishop Luolun laughed dryly "hehe, hehe".
His lips turned white, and his forehead was so smooth that he was kept, a few cold sweats flowed down unconsciously. Because he had just discovered that behind the Imperial Army soldiers across the street, a large group of extraordinary men appeared.
These people... Archbishop Loren is no stranger to them.
At least half of the consulates of the Consulates of Medland countries in Tulum Port have emerged here!
Archbishop Loren looked at Duke Ross in anger. There was no doubt that this was Duke Ross's method. The diplomats of these countries' consulates in Tulum Port may not necessarily say how much power they have; the strong strength they have may not necessarily say; the greater the voice they have may not necessarily say.
But there is at least one person who can achieve this position - they have very many connections, they can fan the Yin wind and light ghost fire, and they can make waves and promote the fire. In other words, these consuls are all the best messing sticks, and they can make trouble for you if you have nothing to do.
‘Bang, bang, bang’, behind the Imperial Army soldiers’ queue, at some point, someone brought in a few four-wheeled carriages, a group of straight men climbed onto the carriage and built a giant machine with a strange appearance on it.
Accompanied by the dull roar, a large flash burst out, illuminating the streets.
Archbishop Loren's face twitched, and he recognized these weird machines - this was a novel thing that was invented by an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ice Sea Kingdom in recent years, and was quickly popular with Medland, a novel thing called the "camera".
This thing...can take images.
With the new printing presses in recent years, they were able to put images in newspapers and quickly spread them to countries.
Archbishop Roland quickly turned around and stared at the limp girl on the ground with a fire.
Golden oak leaves hang above her head, golden rain of light continued to fall, accompanied by silence and shrill screams, broken wings continued to appear on the girl's head.
"No!" Archbishop Loren subconsciously pointed to the consuls and the four-wheeled carriages: "Do their...the bottom version, no, negatives...all negatives...in the name of our Lord, all the negatives are related to the church secrets, and they will be destroyed!"
The brigade of church knights moved when they heard the news, and rushed towards the target one by one like a wolf or a tiger.
But a larger number of Imperial soldiers surrounded them and waved their weapons to block their way. The two sides pushed and shoved on the streets, and soon became a mess, and another battle was about to break out.
Among the crowd, I don’t know which guy yelled: “Citizens of any country have the right to know the truth in this world… Are believers in the church actually heresy? Is this the depravity of human nature or the depravity of divinity?”
‘Hohoho’, Duke Ross laughed even more happily. She couldn’t even suppress the joy in her heart and burst into laughter.
Several four-wheeled carriages turned their horses' heads and retreated as fast as possible.
A group of extremely excited diplomats led their entourage to block the streets in a mess.
The powerful church knights finally broke through the obstruction of the Imperial Army soldiers, but were blocked by these guys who were afraid of the world's chaos. These consuls and diplomats put on extremely arrogant expressions and reported their titles and official titles...
Diplomats in dozens of countries have the lowest titles, and are also ranked among the top officials in the administrative officials system of various countries.
If you can't fight, move, or even touch them, it will cause disputes between a certain country and the church.
The church knights were numb and could only watch the four-wheeled carriages running without a trace.
"It's really an accident." Duke Ross finally suppressed his laughter and smiled seriously at Archbishop Loren: "This is really an accident... Tulun Port has been in constant turmoil recently. In order to calm people's hearts, I specially came to have friendly exchanges... Who would have thought that they actually brought... 'camera'?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Duke Ross said leisurely: "However, this is indeed a very interesting gadget, it's just too expensive. Last month, I just bought a non-hearted profiteer from the Ice Sea Kingdom. They actually blackmailed me 50,000 gold marks!"
"However, the effect is very good. The photos taken are clearer than the oil paintings of the best oil painting masters." Duke Ross was very enthusiastic and popularized the knowledge of "camera", "negative", "flushing", "focus", "clearity", "cost and cost" to the chaotic Archbishop Loren.
"We need to have a good talk." Archbishop Loren wiped the cold sweat that kept rolling down his forehead.
There is no doubt that a huge public opinion storm is brewing, and it is very likely that it will begin to spread around tomorrow morning... no, even now.
The idiot Longinus, the "devotes" he claimed to protect, was actually a real heresy related to the "corrosive spirit"... In order to protect this heresy, Longinus even led the church knights to fight a battle with the Imperial Army.
Archbishop Loren was sweating all over, and his sweat even soaked in his underwear, sliding down the smooth silk lining and sliding into his boots, wet and uncomfortable.
He seemed to see the angry eyes of the terrifying old man in the majestic temple at the top of the Daboku.
"His Excellency Ross, we need to have a good talk. Everything can be discussed, right?" Archbishop Loren smiled extremely brightly: "The Derren Empire and the Golden Oak Church have always had extremely close traditional friendship, right?"
"The relationship is too weak, so let's talk about money directly. I'm such a vulgar and boring woman!" Duke Ross turned against him on the spot and said something that made Joe almost fall to the ground.
"The Jiasica fleet is too weak. I am going to add a few battleships and the most popular cruisers recently." Duke Ross put away the small folding fan in his hand, inserted the fan on his belt, and then rubbed his hands hard. In his white and tender palms, there were constant terrifying "crack" sounds.
"But I am poor. A lonely and helpless widow." Duke Ross sighed quietly, "So, I am poor. The purchase price of a first-class battleship can be converted into an imperial gold mark, at least 500,000 gold mark. This is still a naked ship, a naked ship without a cannon."
"Purchase...the purchase price?" Archbishop Loren looked at Duke Ross a little crazy: "Where are you going to buy it?"
"The Kingdom of Saint-Shia! Their latest first-class battleships have the latest technology, the fastest speed, the strongest firepower, and the strongest defense... Of course, I want to purchase from the Kingdom of Saint-Shia." Duke Ross smiled calmly.
"They will never sell the latest first-class battleship to the Derren Empire." Archbishop Loren said quickly: "Unless their heads are broken."
"There is another possibility... the high-level leaders of the Golden Oak Church open their mouths. As long as there is an archbishop with a high enough status, there is nothing that can't be sold in the devout Kingdom of Saint-Shia." Duke Ross gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Two latest first-class battleships, four latest second-class battleships, eight latest third-class battleships... twenty-four latest cruisers!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Duke Ross rubbed his hands hard again, staring at Archbishop Loren like a bandit blocking the road: "Do you choose one between the reputation of the church and these warships? By the way, it is impossible for a poor widow to give money!"
"It is absolutely impossible to give money..." Duke Ross sighed softly: "I am poor, the military department is so lucky, and Jiasica cannot collect a few taxes a year. I have to rely on postponing my salary to barely turn over my life..."
Archbishop Loren looked at Duke Rose with a blank expression.
poverty?
There are 50 million natives in Jiasica. The cruel Duke of Ross scrapes a golden mark from everyone's head every year, which is a pure income of 50 million... This black-hearted girl, how could she only scrape a golden mark?
But, looking at the golden oak leaves floating above the girl's head, and then looking at the bright smiles, the diplomats from all over the world who were ready to take action and couldn't wait to take the blame... Archbishop Luolun knew that he had fallen this time.
"Ha, heh, heh... You might as well kill me directly from the number of warships you listed." Archbishop Loren chuckled softly: "Dear Lord Ross, is it necessary to do so? Is there no room for turning around?"
Duke Ross put away his smile and whispered: "Please recognize this fact. The Zhongqiu bloody incident, the believer of the Corrosive Spirit, attacked Tulun Port. This woman is related to the Corrosive Spirit, and Langinus, no matter what purpose he is, did announce in public that shelter this woman."
"If you don't want to spread the news that senior clergy from the Golden Oak Church hooked up with the corrosive spirits, maliciously attacked the territory of the Derren Empire, and tried to tear up the sensational news like the "Secret Faith Covenant"... Please show your sincerity!"
Duke Ross breathed a sigh of relief: "Take your sincerity, respected Archbishop Loren."
Archbishop Luolun took a deep breath.
Langinus, who was standing beside him, opened his mouth pitifully, and shouted with a crying voice: "He scolded me, he said, my mother is a damn Potous woman playing with crystal balls..."
Qiao stood aside and smiled, grinning, not too happy.
