Chapter 148: Politics and Marriage
The prophet's instruments have been issued, but the formal teaching ceremony will be two days later.
It can be said that Roger is the biggest beneficiary of this Sanqi League. The Yubai Bai team he led is the champion of the Western Continental League. Like previous sessions, not all three of the champion teams can become famous, make the most profits, and the most famous will always be the leader.
Roger and Diqi jumped up in the Western Continental league. Diqi's skills and Roger's mind left a deep impression, and Roger's appointment as Archbishop at the age of fifteen attracted the attention of the mainland.
Augustine became the league champion at the age of seventeen and became the swordsman at the age of twenty-three.
Shadia became the league champion at the age of 18, and then he followed the army for seven years to achieve his swordsmanship and became the mainstay of the Crusader.
Dante became the league champion at the age of 16. He then traveled around the country, using poetry as his friend and song as his companion. He was only thirty years old and became the most famous bard.
Roger broke their record. He is the most/no/wrong/young Sanqu League champion on the mainland and the youngest archbishop in the history of the Holy See.
This also means that he will enter the dirty political circle from now on, coordinating the political celebrities of Kanding City and various forces within the Holy See, which is a difficult task for anyone.
"You are simply lucky to shine compared to Barclays and Weinstein."
Leana stood in front of Roger's bookshelf and leaned over. Before the prophet's documents were issued, Roger bought a thick stack of books, all about the humanities, political celebrities, cultural celebrities, declining nobles, and the teachings of the Holy See.
The Barclays and Weinstein she mentioned are one of the league champions of the North Mainland and the other of the East Mainland. The South Mainland does not have the Three High League because it is not under the Holy Light of the Holy See.
Barclays and Weinstein are both the best among the new generation. However, since Barclays are worm masters and Weinstein is a blacksmith, they cannot develop significantly in the Holy See due to their professional restrictions.
The church members in the Holy Light Holy Church have professional restrictions. It is difficult for blacksmiths and insect masters to advance step by step in the Holy Church, and as the league champions, the two are unwilling to start from the bottom.
Since the Knights Templars and the Crusaders are more restrictive in terms of professions, swordsmen, knights and warriors are the most popular professions, and insect divisions and blacksmiths have difficulty in walking.
There is no position as a blacksmith or a worm master in civil service, so Barclay and Weinstein, one who had a second-class religious position in the Holy See, and the other entered the Blacksmith Club. Compared with Roger, it was a very different place.
In fact, Roger's mechanic is also unpopular, but he has extraordinary tactical and strategic use, and he can use it in close combat and long battles, and can cooperate with almost any profession. With his extraordinary mind, the unpopular profession of mechanic has become unexpectedly popular.
Leana picked up a book and read it and put it back and said, "But Roger. There are many things you have to deal with next. Which one do you plan to marry from the Groot family and Ningning from the President Gran's family?"
"The problems left by Duras are also very troublesome. The funeral church, the administrative hall, and the old nobles are all troublesome."
"There are also those political celebrities, you will have to deal with them often in the future," Roger flipped the scriptures on the table and said, "Political celebrities, administrative halls, and old nobles are all accumulated problems and cannot be solved overnight. I want to talk to them first. Perhaps in their eyes, a young boy like me is not worth mentioning at all."
"If that's the case, I would have to suppress them like Duras. Duras' mistake was to implement terror, foul people's policies and collusion to bury religions. Other policies are very desirable. Before he was ruined, the people in Kanding City respected him like a god, which was the best proof."
"As for those two young ladies who suddenly appeared, if they could shake me, would I still deserve the relationship of Lolita? Look, there will be a good show on that day of the appointment ceremony."
He opened the seal and looked at it, then re-boxed it in the cabinet under the table and locked it.
Leana smiled and said, "Roger, do you understand politics? A person who is good at strategy and tactics is likely to be a politically complete fool."
"Sister, I know you are clicking me," Roger laughed and said, "Oga was ordered by Barbery to travel all the way to me to marry. If I rejected me, I will not only lose the support of the Groot family, but also have a terrible hidden enemy. Barbery is a famous hero."
"The same is true for President Gran. He did not hesitate to jointly build the president of the Thirteen City Chamber of Commerce to pave the way for me. If he refuses to say no to others, the saliva of the Sloch people will flood me and scold me for burning bridges across the river and ignoring the gratitude of the Chamber of Commerce in Kanding City may not support me anymore."
“These are the prices I might have to pay for choosing Lolita”,
"But this is just possible, isn't it?" Roger stood up and walked to the window and looked at the blooming flowers in the flowerbed and said, "Politics itself is about interest binding. The best way to maintain this interest relationship is marriage, but they cannot avoid the general trend."
"It is a peaceful era, and there is no war. If the Groot family wants to ensure its status, they must establish new enemies as little as possible. Barbery knows this better than anyone else. Even if the entire Groot family can't swallow this, Barbery can still swallow it. I will be the archbishop of Kanding City with the support of the Plantain nobles and Cardinals. How can the Groot family, which has a long road, be the enemy of me now?"
"The same is true for the Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of marrying me is money, I will give it to them. They know better than anyone else that if you choose to fight me, what will be more costly. If it were you, would you be the enemy of me?"
He was a little sad with his hands behind his back. To be honest, the Groot family and the Chamber of Commerce were both very nice to him, really good. Both Oga and President Gran helped him when he needed it, but now he had to refuse them for his own marriage. He was not feeling well.
"I can only be sorry to them." He sighed and seemed a little lonely. At this moment, when he thought of Lolita's cute smiling face, he actually had the urge to lie in her arms and cry.
"I know it's wrong but I still persist so much. I can't persuade you. I will go back to the Crusader tomorrow. You can only bury the pit you dug by yourself," said Leana.
Roger turned around.
"You're leaving?"
"Why, will you be here to stay with you for the rest of your life if you don't leave?", Leana laughed crisply and said, "Do you want to leave your sister?"
Roger smiled and said, "I will certainly be happier if I have you with me to face the wind and rain."
"You little devil who has no conscience can't say something to comfort my sister?" Leana walked to the door with her hands behind her back.
"The revenge of the Sand Scorpion against the Crusaders has begun. Remember to send it to me tomorrow. Even my sister can't guarantee that she will come back on the battlefield."
"You will definitely come back," Roger said.
Leana smiled and said, "Roger, you might as well learn how to pray, pray that we will never be enemies."
Unexpectedly, Roger did not make fun of anything, but nodded and said, "I try my best."
Can you do it when you come back from the battlefield and don’t be an enemy?
The Crusaders did not invite themselves one step ahead. Is their purpose to push themselves to the position of Archbishop? That is impossible.
The Crusaders have other purposes, and they have hidden deep goals. Roger has a premonition that it will be a shocking conspiracy. (To be continued...)
