The Grand Duke of Heyi was tall and tall, and wore a cloth robe, which looked like armor.

The comfortable life in the capital has not ruined his body. His body is almost the same as when he was young. Unlike many noble officers, when they reach the age of forty or fifty, their belly will expand rapidly and become like their own war horse.

The Grand Duke of Heyi has always been proud of his physical strength. He calls it "persistent combat ability", and people familiar with it simply call it "enduring power". The Grand Duke also smiles and does not object.

However, today's Grand Duke of Italy did not carry out the training that would last him on time. Instead, he hung out with several aides and counted head-scratching numbers.

The number that Baron Deping gave to Wu Shuangsheng could not be easily obtained by a mere commander or by the Grand Duke of Heyi himself. The amount of money to be compensated to Mr. Star Warlock was small, and he showed no sincerity. As a result, he continued to delay the apology to Cheng Jinzhou.

It had been dragging on for four days now, and seeing Cheng Jinzhou becoming a morning sacrifice, Grand Duke Heyi became anxious again. But he was reluctant to part with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so he kept mumbling: "I wonder what Master Cheng's regulations are?"

Since yesterday's banquet, the gentlemen of Daxia have clearly seen Cheng Jinzhou's status in the Holy Church. Regardless of whether he has the qualifications to challenge the Holy Church, there is always nothing wrong with being polite.

His staff looked at each other and said nothing.

The Grand Duke said unhappily: "Why are you so stupid? Aren't you usually very talkative?"

The top staff member said reluctantly: "Grand Duke, I heard that the 'God's Favored Ones' of the Morning Light Sacrifice will immediately receive funding from the church headquarters. If the money is short, he may not like it."

"That's up to you." The Grand Duke of Heyi puffed up his chest like a fighting rooster, but he quickly said with doubtful cross-eyes: "What kind of favored person will receive funding from the Xingzhou Temple? Where did you hear that? Said?"

"The Star Warlock Association is going viral."

Naturally, the association will not keep anything secret for the church. In fact, if it were not for the subtle relationship between the association and the temple, it would be a delusion for the court to know something special from the star warlocks. Ordinary star warlocks would not consider the issue of communication with ordinary people.

"It's the same as not saying it." The Duke of Heyi said loudly, puffing his cheeks.

"How about going to talk to someone about it?"

"Who are you looking for?"

Another staff member finally found something to say: "Cheng Jinzhou's second uncle, Cheng Yunxiang. He has two relatives in the capital. One is his father Cheng Yun'an. I heard that many people have encountered obstacles with him. Cheng Yunxiang does not refuse anyone who comes, but he The charge is quite a lot, I want to ask a question, 1,000 taels of silver is enough."

"Then go and come back quickly." Heyi Grand Duke rubbed his hands, and then said: "Go and tell the door administrator, and let that unlucky boy from the fifth time come again, and leave him alone."

He has the highest title. Even if the prince becomes the prince, he has nothing to fear.

Now that he is in his current position, it is enough to just follow His Majesty the Emperor. It is not safe to consider anything else - although the former option is not very safe.

"What about Wu Shuangsheng and his fourth commander?" The chief staff member asked again at this time. He didn't like careless officers very much, so he deliberately asked the question when the Grand Duke was in a bad mood.

As expected, the Grand Duke snorted and said: "Let them continue to stay in the basement of the church, and don't tell our priests. The effect will be better then."

"Yes." The staff member snickered inwardly. He didn't care how many soldiers would suffocate to death inside.

…

Cheng Jinzhou walked in the inner hall of the church, and all the priests he saw bowed to him to show respect.

His clothes are embroidered with half of the rising sun, surrounded by red clouds, representing the morning light.

The astrologers of this era were able to understand the concept that the sun was a star, the same as the stars in the sky. But they still have a different view of the sun and it is not incomprehensible. In any case, it is the source of all human activities.

Yi Su chuckled behind Cheng Jinzhou's ear and said, "Look at what I did. It's pretty good. Morning Sacrifice, a very interesting term."

"Oh, thank you very much." Cheng Jinzhou left in a hurry. He pinched the list in his sleeve and said, "The reward you requested is also amazing."

"After I have a body, I will help you even more. You agreed." Yi Su was actually a little nervous. If Cheng Jinzhou didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to find anyone else now.

Cheng Jinzhou had difficulty judging Ys's status, and he wanted to know more about the Star Alliance, so he just shrugged and said, "Let's go to the warehouse and take a look first, and then we'll talk."

If the items in the warehouse can meet Ys's requirements, then it won't be a problem.

The Holy Church's reserves in Xia Jing are far less than those of the Star Warlock Association. But in recent days, the sharp increase in believers has made them busy instantly. Even though they are just ordinary banknotes and other contributions, they are still full of the temple's warehouse in Xia Jing.

When Cheng Jinzhou came to the door, there were two star warlocks guarding him.

"Lord Sacrifice." The two men immediately saluted and moved out of the way.

"What's going on?" Cheng Jinzhou was very surprised. The workload of the Templar Star Warlock is also very limited. Unless it is an emergency, it cannot be used to guard the door and cannot be used to deliver letters. If it is used to fight, it cannot be used as a bodyguard. Every time a Star Warlock is used, Working three days a month is considered a heavy workload.

"Recently, a batch of silver coins was delivered from other places. The priest was worried that something might happen, so he sent two of us."

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows. Two first-level star warlocks would spend an hour looking at the warehouse, which is equivalent to an expenditure of hundreds of taels of silver - equivalent to hiring an Army Aviation Corps as guards in the future. How much money would be needed for that?

The church was already unobstructed for him. Cheng Jinzhou opened the door suspiciously and walked through the screen wall. He soon understood the meaning of the guard.

What was on the ground turned out to be gold bars, each one as long as an arm. Although they were not big, there were thousands of them, and the visual effect was quite astonishing.

Two priests wearing white gloves were doing the inspection, and two high-ranking priests stood aside to take notes. Although there were only four people in the entire warehouse, they were all people Cheng Jinzhou knew, which showed that the level was not low.

"Ten taels per stick?" Cheng Jinzhou smiled and explained: "Good morning, Pastor Xiecheng. I want to find some materials. Do some experiments. I heard that the warehouse here is the most complete."

"Each stick costs 25 taels." Li Xiecheng was not from Daxia. He had a tall nose and deep eyes, so his name was very meaningful.

Cheng Jinzhou looked around and said, "Do you have a list of supplies? I don't recognize many of them."

He smiled with his little white teeth exposed, like a young astromancer.

If it was really a young star warlock who dared to trouble him, Pastor Xiecheng would definitely hit him on the head with a gold bar, but now, he laughed out his big dog teeth after eating breakfast meat.
