, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

The group of priests in the monastery would never be able to use swordsmanship. The unarmed Danish king Horlick had no worries and was even quite elegant.

Putting on the disguise of a believer, he followed in Eskil's footsteps and walked into the so-called penance room.

Maybe he really regretted it, maybe he was still pretending.

Eskil proclaimed the subject: "Child, tell me what you have done, and the Lord will forgive you."

Looking at Horrick again, instead of feeling guilty, he has a pleasant look on his face.

"I killed a lot of people in Flanders, men, women, and children. I made a fortune. I came to Denmark to inherit the throne at the prince's request. All the lords who opposed me were killed. I personally in Hezeby. Cut five gang leaders. I am now the king of Denmark..."

Horrick regarded the killing as an absolute feat, and the robbery as a feat. Some terrifying descriptions startled Eskil on the other side of the Mucha window to tremble!

"So, do you realize that you did something wrong?"

"Yes. I was wrong, so I hope to get the Lord's forgiveness." After all, Horrick was still the strangely smiling face, raising his head to stare at Eskil who was caught off guard.

In the Frankish realm, those pious people were killed by this bandit leader, even so this person is still a mercenary of Prince Ludwig? ! Eskil secretly cursed how such a villain could be forgiven, he must go to **** after death, but...

Eskil heard a very crucial message from the words, even if this person is a veritable slaughter fanatic, he came to Denmark to obtain the kingship under the instructions of Prince Ludwig. Since this person keeps carrying the cross on him, maybe the situation is not so bad.

His mind flashed: "My child, will you follow the way of the Lord? Your crime of killing is very serious, but if you can lead all the Lambs in Denmark to convert, the Lord will forgive your sins. At least the Holy One in Rome. Will forgive you and crown you as King of Denmark."

Horrick had never been to Rome. He took his brothers in Flanders for many years and never moved south. His understanding of the Pope in Rome was limited to hearsay, and he didn't know how brilliant and great the priests were, so he didn't care about Eskil's "pope coronation" at all.

As for the whole Danish weirdness, this question is the point.

Indeed, the new Danish king Horlick must make a painful choice, either to choose the Lord or Odin.

Facing Eskil's question, he chose to be vague.

"Are you still wondering? You should implement the sacred beliefs and abandon the barbaric gods of your native land. Odin does not exist, the Lord is the only one." At least Eskil's faith is extremely strong, and he is eager to preach again. , Forcing King Horlick to obey completely. "Like Harald Clark, like this relative of yours, being a loyal servant of the master is the most correct way. As long as you follow through, Cardinal Lance will support you and your throne will be secure. ."

In Horrick's view, what the old man Eskil said was all correct nonsense. He is not a fool, but this is not a matter of belief in any deity at all, and he does not have the so-called right of freedom in this respect.

He simply stood up and forcibly interrupted the meaningless "confession".

"Enough!"

"No! You can't leave yet!" Eskil was taken aback.

"It's okay, if the master hates me, thunder will strike me to death. I have already told the Lord what I have done, and the rest depends on the Lord's meaning."

Eskil was very speechless. He stood in front of Horlick with a face that looked as if constipated for a week, and said coldly: "The Lord is fair, and your blasphemy will suffer disaster, since you are indifferent. , There is nothing I can do. I can only persuade you to do it yourself..."

"Oh? Are you trying to persuade me to go?!"

Horrick had retreated to the worship hall, and he looked around to try to find the gold and silver utensils inside. There are precious metal utensils, but they are just a few silver candle holders, silver plates, and a small golden cross at the muessel, in addition to a large number of old wooden utensils. He saw the few benches full of dilapidated traces. It was obvious that the man was preaching in the north, but after all, he did not draw a few believers.

These details are more stable, a knowledge of HorrickFrank and Roman beliefs, which are unpopular in Denmark.

Eskil's constipation expression remained the same, and this face was really awkward.

Horrick knew that the old priest had issued an eviction order, but it was not easy to explain it because of his identity. Presumably, he was already a heresy and a blasphemer in his heart. Maybe the notoriety would quickly spread to the Frankish interior.

"So what? I am no longer the one who looks at Ludwig's face." He thought so.

But I withdrew this time, where do I put the dignity of the king of Denmark? This is clearly their own territory, and allowing them to continue to own the monastery is already the greatest mercy!

Horrick pinched his waist and deliberately said: "It looks like your job is not doing well. What about your believers? Don't tell me that you are the only one in the huge monastery."

"Of course there are many. The priests are willing to receive the most pious people."

"You mean I'm not religious enough?" Horrick asked knowingly.

Eskil did not eat this set: "It depends on the Lord's meaning."

"Then let everyone who hides come out! Remember, everyone! I know your monastery itself can't hide many people, there are not many houses and no darkroom cellars."

"What do you want to do?" Eskil couldn't help taking a step back.

"Are you scared? Don't worry, I won't make trouble in this sacred place. I want you to gather priests, and I want to listen to them singing hymns, otherwise, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing."

Eskil didn't want to be entangled anymore, but the opponent's army was in Hezeby, and he still had to meet his non-discriminatory requirements, but fortunately, the day of getting out was not far away.

After a while, the hidden priests appeared in black robes, each looking solemn and solemn with their heads down. Blue Fox and Vardy are among them, they dressed up as ordinary priests, this is the image of the fat blue Fox, and it is too eye-catching!

The priests stood in two rows, and among them were the blue foxes. Just like Horrick's arrogant words, Eskil did not develop many loyal followers here in Hezeby.

"I see you still have some children here. Yeah, you are sheltering orphans. I have heard about this, but is your food very good? Did my eyes dizzy and I actually saw a fat man."

Horrick's words were directed at the blue fox, and the blue fox also raised his head instantly, and the two of them met in this way.

This was really unexpected. Horrick saw the murderous and arrogant look in the fat boy's eyes. Is it still a priest with such an aura? It's ridiculous! Do not! There must be something hidden in it.

He then yelled again: "The Ross people and my people are fighting fiercely. Most of the Ross people were killed by my people. It seems that some people have escaped by taking advantage of the chaos. Eskil, are there any Ross people who are blessed by you? ?"

Eskil's eyes were immediately erratic, and Horrick had basically received a positive answer from this performance.

"I only have priests here. I know that the Ross people are all barbarians who believe in Odin. Heretics cannot enter here!"

"Really? I think that fat man is very suspicious. You are all ascetics, and you can actually raise a fat man? What's the explanation for this?"

Apart from the conversation between the two of them, Blue Fox had already thought of a hundred ways **** this down-to-earth short man Horrick in his mind. The fact is that the new Danish king is not tall and burly, his face has been firmly remembered. Hearing that all his subordinates were killed, it is reasonable to say that revenge for a group of war-dead mercenaries is meaningless. Real businessmen don't need to be involved in this aspect, but the humiliation must end.

Blue Fox's reason suppressed the impulse. He didn't feel that he had the strength to kill this person by singled out, not to mention that he had a longer-term plan.

He stared at Horrick's face deliberately, showing his disdain and contempt everywhere.

Malicious eyes have always been a mental provocation to Horrick. He couldn't wait to cut the fat priest himself, but he couldn't be so extreme.

The atmosphere became tense, and Eskil hurried to complete the game: "Joseph is fatter, he is very good at eating."

"A greedy rice bucket?"

Eskil's anxious sage: There's a reason here, because Joseph is very good at learning Latin, so he will naturally have more rewards for such a good student. It's not surprising that he eats a lot, and the Lord obviously allows this behavior. So, Eskil was indeed lying, and he was also praying in his heart for the Lord's forgiveness.

"You know how to speak Latin? Okay! I want to listen, even if I don't know how to say it. I have listened to a lot of sermons by pastors in Flanders that make good use of Latin. Naturally, my stupid accent can't deceive me."

Blue Fox was asked by name and surname to recite random chapters of the "Gospel" in Latin. How could this be difficult for him?

He read the book aloud, his speech was quite clear, and Horrick's suspicions disappeared.

Horrick didn't want to entangle with the priest too much, and he didn't even want other tribal observers in the army to learn that he had patronized the Frankish monastery. He could actually leave now, but a major event might be implemented now.

How much is there to find the fugitives of the Russ? At least this suspicious fat man is definitely not a Ross native. According to Horrick's understanding, only priests in this world can learn Latin.

He listened to the chants as a cover, just to see Eskil's preaching achievements, the small number of people showed that the power of the Franks in Hezeby was still weak.

"Enough. Let all your priests leave! Eskil, take this opportunity to have a good conversation."

"As you wish."

Horrick smiled and shrugged: "I know you are going to drive me away, and I will leave. Before that I ask you to promise to do something for me."

"What's the matter?"

"I want you to write to Prince Ludwig and tell him that I have obtained the Danish crown. I know you have the authority to do this, but..."

"so what?"

Horrick couldn't help but glance at the cross on the table and sighed: "I am a bound wolf. Now I am free. The Danish kingship is mine. My Danish kingdom is completely free. Frank and I are a country-to-country relationship. , I hope the prince can use the Schleswig Great Wall as the boundary, and the north of the city is mine. For this reason, I would rather give up Durist. I will maintain an alliance with His Royal Highness. I will not invade Frank, nor can the prince invade me. "

Horrick said so many things, Eskil understood basically, shock is really shock, but this kind of thing should not be mixed with the priest, because of personal circumstances, he also resisted, and said: "I am an ascetic monk, and I don't want to participate in matters of worldly power. My heart belongs only to the Lord."

"You are teasing me! This is not the first time you have written to the prince, otherwise how would I know your identity? If you are preaching in the Northland without the prince's funding, you will not even be able to build this monastery. And I I have been working under the prince for so many years. You must write a letter. If you disagree, I will tear down this place. If you are punished by the Lord, then come!"

The words were so absolute, Eskil was convinced that if he didn't follow it, this guy would definitely implement the threat.

He felt a huge threat, and this Horik was a hundred times more difficult than the previous Hafgen! I am afraid that Hezebi has no reason to insist on this stronghold, and it is time to build another monastery.

"Oh... Hezeby has gone through the war, and the discouraged believers have run away. King Denmark, although we are pious, we are unable to survive the winter. This depressed city cannot buy supplies, my warehouse The bread is almost gone."

"What do you want?"

Eskil looked regretful: "I want to take the priests back to Hamburg. Maybe we will come back in the spring. You won't refuse me at that time."

"Wait! You are going to Hamburg?! Get out of here?"

"Exactly. King of Denmark, why don't you write a letter yourself, in Frankish language, and I will hand the letter to the Earl of Hamburg, and the letter will be delivered to the prince's residence soon."

Hearing it, Horrick was surprised and quickly turned into joy: "Yes! I write. You must deliver it to the earl yourself. Then. When will you leave?"

"Naturally it is the day after the Santa Maria Mass on August 14th. This will be the last mass we will celebrate in Hezeby this year. Maybe you should be involved."

Horrick nodded. He did not affirm or deny. Finally, he said, "Enough is enough. It is very pleasant to have contact with you. I will hand you the letter on the day of Mass." He said nothing, and turned away. Near the gate, after pushing it open, he ran towards the wall, meeting with his subordinates who were waiting quite boringly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The young priests did not listen to the cross on their chests, feeling that the demon who had betrayed the faith had left.

Standing in the lobby, Eskil casually asked the blue fox who had not left: "Do you recognize the face of the King of Denmark?"

"Yes. I will report the specific appearance of the facial features, figure, and arrogance of speech to Prince Rurik."

"Then Rurik will really get revenge?"

"inevitable."

"Oh! Lord..." Eskil kept crossing his chest: "I am guilty. Maybe I led a dispute, and Hezeby has become really dangerous."

On August 14th, the Holy Mary Mass will be held in the monastery. This is a completely private ceremony, and only the "Pious Lamb" can participate.

King Horrick participated in this ceremony with his unique practical actions. He brought more than five hundred armored warriors and as many as one hundred cavalry soldiers. The raven flag appeared outside the wooden wall of the monastery.

This is a strong military deterrence. As long as Horrick orders, the army will level here every minute.

The young priests shivered for their own lives, and the masses were filled with fear. Eskil never believed that Horrick would send troops, asserting that it was a deterrence, and its deterrence was not against himself, but against the Frankish kingdom.

Outside the wall of Horrick Chen Bing, his messenger approached the gate and asked the priests to send someone to receive important letters immediately.

Who will receive the letter? Horrick named the surname and asked the fat priest Joseph to come and take it.

This is another name for the blue fox! Originally, the blue fox didn't want to mix with the boring ritual of Mass. Where is the excitement of Rus people's firing tower slaughtering deer on the ceremonies?

He was not afraid of Horrick, so he walked up to the wooden wall and opened the door by himself, assuming a respectful posture in an imaginary manner.

Horrick saw that the fat man got off the horse with great interest and carried a cloth bag with his own hands. Among them was a letter in Frankish written on a white cloth.

He stared at the blue fox's face and stepped forward, behind which was the brave armored army.

The Blue Fox was not afraid, and even looked at this powerful Danish army, imagining its disintegration under the attack of the elite Ross army.

Horrick personally stuffed the cloth bag towards the blue fox, and when he received it with one hand, he did not let go.

The blue fox was a little surprised, and the guy Horrick said astonishingly: "Fatty, put away your disguise. I heard that the commander of your Ross is a fat man. My people describe that there is no corpse. Fatty. Obviously that person is you! You managed to escape!"

Blue Fox wasn't scared either. To dare to do business in Hezeby was a life-threatening job. He has killed people now and has become more courageous.

"You misunderstood, I'm Joseph."

"It's okay. People of Ross, if you believe in the Lord, I won't do anything to you. You'd better leave as soon as possible. Swedes and Ross are not allowed in my kingdom. If you can or return to your Ross, tell you The leader of, dare to cross the west of Burgundy in the future, and any ship will encounter my merciless blow!"

When it was all said and done, Blue Fox simply didn't pretend it. The reason why he accepted the letter with one hand was because the other hidden hand was holding the meat-cutting dagger under the commoner. Even though Horrick was wearing armor, the vitals of his neck were open. This point Horrick can also guess one or two from his special posture.

"Well, King of Denmark. In fact, my Prince Rus wanted to negotiate with you peacefully. The conflict that lasted for a hundred years should be over. If you refuse, then forget it."

"What? Ross people have this attitude?" Horrick was really taken aback, he even felt that he should write a letter to tell the leader of Ross that he was actually tired of disputes.

But are all peace negotiations still possible? He really killed a group of Ross people and even destroyed their shops. Horrick's expectation for the peace of'Dan Ro' is very peculiar, that is, the two sides should not fight and kill as soon as they meet, but Denmark will still reject Ross and Sweden. As "non-aggression". As for cooperative trade, don't even think about it, because it is related to the stability of the Danish throne.

Horrick felt like he was crushing a stone in his heart~www.mtlnovel.com~ After the wooden door was closed, he also left angrily. He was not afraid of the revenge of the Roths, even improperly, because the primary issue now was to redefine the relationship between Denmark and Frank.

He didn't linger again, the army held a large number of raven flags and then circled the monastery and left. With this kind of performance art, he made it clear that he was a warrior of Odin, and also showed that he had betrayed Prince Ludwig and Cardinal of Reims. He is very contradictory. First, he does not want to be an enemy of Frank because of his faith. Second, if Odin is not regained, most of the Danish lords will be angry again, and he is afraid that he will be expelled again.

In order to be powerful, he must be determined to be a fighter of Odin!

After this glimpse of the alignment, Blue Fox could see through this King Horlick, where there is piety, as long as there is interest, he can change his belief at any time. For example, this person's behavior is clearly that he does not want to be a "loyal dog" for the Prince Ludwig. This assertion is precisely because the blue fox peeked at the letter, and his good memory made him write down the content of the letter. Important information tells Prince Rurik that it is a wonderful feat.

The Blue Fox also asked himself that he was similar to Horlick, and the cross on his chest was a safety certificate for Frank's activities. In order to do business, why not pretend to be a lifetime believer. As for the world after death, there are so many different opinions, who knows?
