Chapter List Chapter 283 Mediation and Compromise boom The heavy iron door of the stone house was slammed shut, and through the crack in the door, Lin Qi faintly heard a complaint from outside: "It's better than a circle of newborn sows can eat how much appetite this guy has."
With a grin, Lin Qi closed his eyes and silently felt the flow of blood and qi in his spine.
Net, duwo,. has been imprisoned here for nearly half a month, Arthur finally remembered to send food and drink to Lin Qi, and every two days a punishment knight would bring food to Lin Qi.
Not very exquisite, that is, black bread and water, but full Lin Qi is not welcome, since you want to be full, then you will stuff it into your stomach desperately.
Originally, Lin Qi had a large amount of food, and because he took bone marrow modification drugs, he could eat one hundred and fifty catties of black bread and drink two buckets of water.
What made the punishment knight who delivered the meal even more horrified was that after being detained for so long, Lin Qi had no personal hygiene requirements, he did not urinate, and he did not smell any stench on his body, as if everything that was eaten into his belly had been digested by Lin Qi cleanly.
Shocked by Lin Qi's strong stomach that is no different from that of the Demon Beast, this punishment knight will always say a few words every time he delivers food.
Lin Qi even heard that he was secretly settling accounts, if the church's divine prison was all imprisoned by a pot-bellied man like Lin Qi, the church would have gone bankrupt a long time ago With a few sneers, Lin Qi took a deep breath silently.
Although the Forbidden Spirit Lock controlled the flow of his Dou Qi and Blood Qi, under the impetus of the powerful essence from the two divine natures, the Dou Qi in Lin Qi's body had already resumed its operation.
The two spikes that pierced into the lower part of his lute bone had even been partially digested by Lin Qi's body "In another half a month, you will be able to recover all your strength" Lin Qi took a deep breath, and when the time came, he would be able to find a way to slip away.
By the time Lin Qi was imprisoned in the deepest secret room of the Holy Radiance Cathedral, the outside world had become treacherous.
The attention of the entire continent was on the imperial capital of the Gallic Empire.
Not only the Western Continent, but even the alien races of the Wudalian Islands and even the Odin Ice Fields are stupid, as long as the Gallic Empire really goes to war with the Church, then the forces inside and outside the continent will be moved.
The Hajj Hall of the Victory Palace, this gorgeous temple was used by the ministers of the Gallic Empire to meet the emperor on weekdays.
The interior of the hall, which is 100 meters long and 30 meters wide, is wrapped in pure gold, and everywhere you can see is resplendent with gold, which is also a famous golden hall in the entire western continent At this moment, the Golden Hall was full of dignitaries and dignitaries in all kinds of gorgeous clothes, some of whom were civil and military ministers of the Gallic Empire, and some of whom were wealthy nobles from neighboring countries.
Net, duwo,.
Prince of Caesar's Empire.
The Grand Duke of the Harran Empire, the Vice-Chancellor of the Vyas Merchant Federation, all of them are influential figures on the continent, people who hold real power in their respective countries, and can make decisions on behalf of the supreme leaders of each country in diplomatic situations.
Everyone looked silently at the throne on the Golden Temple.
Saint Louis XIII, Emperor of the Gallic Empire, was spitting at each other with a bald head, angry and Archbishop José, one of the Church's envoys and one of the Church's elders.
As Archbishop of the Templar and a member of the Church Elders, Archbishop José has authority over the Church only under the three Popes in the Pontifical Chamber.
He is also the first minister under the Holy Scepter Pope, fully responsible for the diplomatic work of the Church and the countries of the mainland, and is well versed in the social skills of many emperors and kings in the secular world, and he serves as the special envoy of the Church.
It is indeed the most suitable candidate.
"This time, I have to tell you that you were the first to slander the imperial power of the Gallic Empire" The emperor's finger almost hit the nose of Archbishop José, and he shouted: "What do you want to do with the destruction of the university town of Berelli with the army" Archbishop José smiled lightly: "This is a misunderstanding" "Ahh I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the emperor's thick phlegm landed on Archbishop José's luxurious boots made of white satin.
José's face twitched, and a faint golden glow appeared on his feet.
Silently, he bounced the thick phlegm off his boot.
So the thick phlegm bounced back into the emperor's boot.
But the emperor was wearing a pair of leather boots, and he didn't care much about the filth that spewed out of his body, he pointed to the nose of Archbishop José and continued to curse angrily: "Misunderstanding, then I sent someone to the Holy Mountain to tear down the seminary of the church, is this also a misunderstanding?"
Archbishop José sighed heavily: "It's different" The unforgiving emperor let out an arrogant sneer: "What's the difference, you can come to my house to demolish the house, and I go to your house to demolish the house, is it a heinous crime, is it a great crime for your church to try to demonstrate to the major empires on the mainland by suppressing my Gallic Empire?"
Archbishop José's face twitched.
The nobles of the various countries who came to mediate in the Golden Hall widened their eyes at the same time, and looked at Archbishop Jose in a daze.
If the church really wants to show off its power to the countries of the mainland by suppressing the Gallic Empire, then it is difficult to say that everyone can only join forces to play a game with the church.
Except for a few kingdoms and principalities that are born into godlike families and are extremely devout to the Church.
The attitude of other countries on the mainland towards the church is not very good, which emperor wants to ride a godfather on his head at any time, this godfather also takes a lot of gold coins from your money bag from time to time, and slaps you a few times from time to time, who likes such a godfather "It's all just a misunderstanding" Archbishop José's eyes flickered, and he looked at the emperor disapplausively: "The three popes have sent me here to represent our sincerity. ” The emperor put his hands behind his back, he grinned at the many nobles standing in the golden hall: "Sincerity hahaha, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Punishment Knights are on the border of my Gallic Empire, this is sincerity Hey, are they here to fight rabbits?"
Archbishop José frowned a little distressedly: "That's... ” The emperor stared at Archbishop José deadly: "Don't tell me what it is, isn't the dispatch of the Punishment Knights authorized by the Pope's Hall Hahaha, aha, great, is it possible that the Punishment Knights want to rebel They want to kill the three popes and let the Punishment Temple hold the power of the church" Turning triumphantly to the many nobles, the emperor smiled and said: "Everyone who believes in the god of punishment can be optimistic, the servants of the god of punishment are going to attack the servants of other gods, our Gallic Empire is just an appetizer."
The emperor was so angry that Archbishop José almost vomited blood.
However, he could only look at the emperor with a pleasant face.
"The Order of Discipline will be withdrawn, and we are willing to compensate the Gallic Empire for the expenses needed to repair the university town" Archbishop José spread his hands: "This represents our greatest sincerity, do you think that Your Majesty the Emperor, no one wants to let your imperial power be damaged in any way" The emperor narrowed his eyes, he looked at Archbishop José and smiled faintly: "Special religious tax, we should plan well." ” Archbishop José was stunned, and he suddenly waved his hands violently: "This is not allowed... ” But before he could finish his words, the envoys of various countries in the Golden Hall made a noise and clamoring for a special religious tax, which was not only borne by the Gallic Empire, but all countries hated this special religious tax.
Especially the Vyas Commercial Federation, which has the most developed commercial system, they have to pay hundreds of millions of gold coins every year in special religious taxes, which really kills them The Emperor laughed, he raised his hands and shouted: "Let the gods listen to the hearts of the people, the special religious tax, which was levied during the Hundred Years of Land and Island War in order to reorganize the church army, but now it has been thirty years since the end of the Land Island War, my dear Archbishop José" Archbishop José gritted his teeth and looked at the emperor: "The three popes will not agree." ” The emperor shrugged his shoulders, and he looked at the envoy prince of the Caesar Empire: "The dragon spear legion of the Caesar Empire is already in place" The prince of the Caesar Empire squinted his eyes and smiled: "As long as you give an order, the Dragon Lance Legion will cooperate with the Southern Legion of the Caesar Empire...
Ah, hahaha, of course, we are all devout followers of the gods, but this tax...
It's too high."
Archbishop José smiled bitterly, he pondered for a long time, looking at the excited attitude of the envoys of various countries in the Golden Palace, he nodded helplessly: "Then, we can include the collection of special religious taxes in the items of negotiation." ” The eyes of all the nobles in the Golden Hall burst into brilliant golden light at the same time, the same light as gold coins.
The Emperor nodded with satisfaction, he looked at Archbishop José, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Then, there is also the sale of atonement charms.
The sale of the Apotheos, which is also a commercial practice, and the Empire is prepared to levy a special commercial tax of half on the Atonement" Archbishop José almost didn't jump, he shouted: "No way, that's a pious religious act" The emperor simply jumped to his feet, and he roared confidently: "One party spends money, and the other side sells, this is the business behavior must be taxed" The eyes of the envoys of various countries in the golden hall turned golden, and the atonement charm, if you can put a hand in it, this is a lot of money, comparable to the rich income of the special religious tax, if you can really collect half of the tax, the royal family and nobles of all countries will be rich.
The noise came from the Golden Temple, and Archbishop José angrily quarreled with the nobles of various countries, but under the pressure of the nobles of various countries, Archbishop José reluctantly agreed to include the tax of the indulgence charm in the conditions of the negotiation.

If the Southern Legion of the Gallic Empire joined forces with the Dragonlance Legion of the Caesar Empire, the terrifying attack power would be difficult for the Knights of Punishment to withstand.
The Church would certainly not take this risk, knowing that the Gallic Emperor was extorting, but they had no choice After arguing for three days, it was only at the last minute that the emperor raised Lin Qi's question.
Archbishop José did not care about Linzi, and he quickly reached an agreement with the emperor to have a joint trial of Linzi.
The Supreme Court of the Gallic Empire and the Inquisition of the Ecclesiastical Inquisition jointly tried Linzi.
