32, Allied with Bishop Beaufort

Scott did not directly answer the guard's words, but took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.

The guard took the letter with both hands and ran in quickly.

In a short while, there were a burst of footsteps coming from the door, and then a white-haired old man holding a religious scepter slowly walked out.

Looking at the old man, Scott hurriedly stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Hello Bishop Beaufort!"

"Hello, Mr. Norfolk!" Bishop Beaufort also hurriedly replied to the gift, but because he was too old, it seemed very inconvenient to bend over.

Looking at Bishop Beaufort with limited mobility, Scott apologized: "Just let me tell you, why run out in person?"

"I will not welcome the nobles in person if I change to the other side, but you are different from them." Speaking of this, Bishop Beaufort's mental state is very good: "First, you are the son of the little girl Maria Henry, I feel very kind! Second, after you become the Earl of Norfolk, this also indicates that the Lancaster School has achieved a great victory in the eastern part of the Kingdom of England, so I must welcome you personally!"

Scott smiled undeniably, and then slowly entered the hall with Bishop Beaufort one after another.

Bishop Beaufort is indeed a businessman. His wealth is not bad, nor does he say how grand the house is. Just talking about the decorations in this hall, no matter which one is, it is more exquisite and rich than the royal family uses.

While Scott was carefully observing the small objects here, Bishop Beaufort was the first to open up: "Is Mr. Norfolk feeling that London is okay?"

"Of course it's great, it's many times better than my Norfolk!" Scott replied with a smile.

Archbishop Boster sighed and said, "Others only saw the prosperity of London on the surface, but behind it it was already in chaos! I am really worried that that guy Humphrey would take the country to the brink of destruction!"

"How can it be?" Scott hurriedly followed him and said, "No matter how powerful he is, Humphrey is, he is nothing in front of you! I believe that the Kingdom of England will be safe because of you!"

"Does Mr. O'Norfolk hate Humphrey too?" Bishop Beaufort asked excitedly.

Scott nodded quickly: "That's natural. It's not a matter of one or two days since I hate Humphrey. Of course, I'm not trying to please anyone. It's just that Humphrey is doing things too much. He keeps suppressing the power of the earl and even threatens to deprive some of the power of the earl. It can be said that these decisions seriously threaten my interests, so how can I not hate him?"

Scott's words won the favor of Bishop Beaufort: "Master Norfolk, you hate Humphrey very much, and I myself hate Humphrey very much. If that's the case, why don't we join forces?"

"It is rare that the bishop has such a heart to look down on me, so I am naturally very willing to join forces with you." Scott was right when he heard this, and nodded quickly to agree.

"Hahaha, okay!" Bishop Beaufort said three times in a row, and he became even happier.

This is not a Bishop Beaufort, after all, in the Kingdom of England, the number of earls was too small. In addition, each earl was a powerful feudal force that dominated one side, and each earl had more or less fixed troops in his hands.

Once a war breaks out, every earl can organize a powerful army to fight the enemy as quickly as possible. It can be said that the earl is similar to the status of a small prince. No one is allowed to interfere in matters within their fiefdom, and His Majesty the King cannot interfere in the count's internal decisions at will.

If he formed an alliance with an earl, he would have a powerful army. Judging from the power in the hands of Bishop Beaufort, his allies were only four earls.

Now if Scott is added, he has five Count allies, and the five Counts means he has the protection and support of five armies.

In a good mood, Bishop Beaufort spoke very generously: "From now on, you and I will be your own people. If there is any difficulty, come and ask me for help. As long as I can help you, I will never refuse!"

The conversation is full of encouraging.

"To be honest, I really need your help this time!" Scott quickly took the opportunity to make his own request: "Norfolk's development urgently requires a batch of goods, but the reality is that it is difficult for us to obtain this batch of goods. As far as we know, the Iberian Peninsula seems to have the conditions to provide these goods. I wonder if Bishop Beaufort is willing to set up a line?"

While speaking, Ster had already taken out the list of goods from his arms and handed it to Bishop Beaufort with both hands.

After reaching out to take the list handed over by Ske, Bishop Beaufort looked at the list and smiled: "Although these things are ordinary, our country and surrounding countries and regions cannot provide such a large amount of goods. Only the Kingdom of Castile on the Iberian Peninsula has this strength!"

"Yes, but Norfolk really has no way to get in touch with the Kingdom of Castile, so..."

Before Scott finished speaking, Bishop Beaufort immediately patted his chest and said, "If you leave this matter to me, you will get these goods in a maximum of one month!"

After saying this, Bishop Beaufort reached out and called someone to whisper a few words to him, and then handed him the list.

"That's really thankful to Bishop Beaufort!" Looking at the figure of the man leaving, Scott stood up and bowed to thank him.

Bishop Beaufort waved his hand and said, "Nothing, this is what you should do as an ally."

Waving his hand to ask Scott to sit down, Bishop Beaufort asked: "Master Norfolk, if there is a war, I wonder how many troops you Norfolk can provide?"

Hearing this, Scott was slightly shocked, but his face still tried his best to maintain a smile: "The Norfolk area is not a large population, and currently only has a conventional army of more than 100 people. If a war breaks out, it may only provide an army of nearly 500 people. Why, do you have other plans for the Bishop?"

Bishop Beaufort laughed: "I just asked in advance. Although Humphrey's relationship with me is very tense, I have no intention of provoking a war with Humphrey at present. Otherwise, the reputation I have worked hard to build will turn into ashes and drift away with the wind!"
