Start As a Lord In a Viscount

"It's just a little contradiction." Claire said casually, it was the seal that Norris himself stamped, if Randolph and the others couldn't compete with him in Nafford City, so he can't figure out the thoughts of Norris in front of him now, Is it because of being close to the church, or was it a seal that was only affixed out of love.

In particular, I heard that the justice who is waiting outside the door has a close relationship with the church, so Norris' relationship with the church is not easy to say.

"Small contradiction?" Norris smiled. "What kind of small contradiction can make the Pope come to see me in person, just so that the church can preach in your city of Nafhu."

"I haven't seen this kind of thing since I became king. You're the first person to overwhelm the church."

Claire had already heard Norris's position from these few words, at least not with the church, and quickly said: "Your Majesty the kingdom is too famous, I'm just lucky."

"Are you lucky again?"

"It took less than half a year since I took over the title of Viscount from my father, and then went to Nafhu City, and I can manage Nafhu City's business well. If the Adventurer's Guild is established on Nafhu City, it won't work. In a few years, it will become a new big city, right?"

Claire's lowered eyes fluctuated slightly, he investigated himself! But it's normal. Since he called himself over to talk, he must have investigated himself. Now he is just a viscount, and some things can't satisfy the other party and the king at all.

Claire is well aware of the drawbacks of being sharp-edged, and immediately said modestly: "This is the original location of Nafu City. I just did what a lord should do, and others can do it."

"Is that so?" Norris's eyes narrowed slightly and stared at him.

"You don't need to say such a thing, I already know about you. The tulip shop in the capital was made by you and the little guy from the Ansair family? Now the annual net profit can reach tens of millions of tulips. Gold coins, this is only a store that has been in operation for less than a few months, do you know how long it will take other people to achieve such income? At least five years."

Claire pursed her lips and continued to listen.

"And Hubert Juggernaut also spoke highly of you. This is the first time I've seen him compliment a person so much in front of me."

"And Sophia, do you know what she thinks of you?"

Claire shook her head, "I don't know."

"She said it would be nice if you were his son... She can rest assured by handing over the August family to you."

Claire was stunned for a moment, is this a compliment? I still want to be her father.

"Your Majesty, I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"How old is Mrs. Sophia?" Claire had this confusion for a long time, but he didn't know when he asked Shane, and now he can just ask.

Norris frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then replied: "It should be twenty-nine. She became the head of the August family at the age of nineteen. Too many things have happened in the past ten years, if you don't If I asked, I thought it had been a long time."

"Oh." Claire nodded, so it doesn't seem like it's too big. After listening to Shane's description before, I always felt that Sophia was like an old witch in the 60s and 70s who used some kind of secret technique to keep her face. Now it looks like this. Also acceptable.

Pooh! What do you accept!

"Why are you asking that? See if she's old enough to be your mom?" Norris quipped.

"Just a little curious."

Norris looked at Claire and asked, "Well, it doesn't matter anymore, after all that said, do you know what I mean?"

Claire pursed her lips, he really didn't know, he just received a compliment, and there is nothing else, emmm, could it be the church where the topic started?

However, Claire was still a little unsure, so he asked, "Your Majesty please make it clear."

Norris tapped twice with his fingers on the chair handle, and said two words at the same time, "Church."

Claire secretly said: "Sure enough."

But he still pretended to be stupid: "What happened to the church?"

"You have a conflict with the church, and I happened to be a little unhappy with the church..." Norris said that he did not continue to talk, just looked at Claire with a smile on his face, he knew that with Claire's intelligence, he would definitely know the latter Unspoken words.

Claire took a long breath and turned slightly to look at the door behind him. Behind the door was Joseph, the judge who was rumored to have a close relationship with the church.

Combined with his feelings when talking with Joseph, Claire has probably understood the whole content now. The intimacy between this justice and the church is all fake. Maybe his wife is really a devout believer of the Church of Light, but this is true. There is no conflict between them at all. The flattery and hypocrisy among politicians are far beyond ordinary people. Maybe his wife is the same as the outside world's impression of him, blinded by it.

Let me just say, how could a judge who controls the judicial interpretation and approval of the kingdom have such a close relationship with the church, but can tolerate it as a king. Unless the king also has a close relationship with the church, but this is rare in most countries. After all, the church came to preach and violated their interests. Those who easily give in in the face of interests are either idiots or suffocating bad moves. .

Obviously, Norris in front of him belonged to the latter, and he let his confidants approach the church, not knowing what bad tricks he was holding back.

It's a pity that Claire has finally stepped out of the muddy waters of the church now, and doesn't want to take the initiative to walk in.

So he said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being able to see me. Although my ability is low, what do you want me to do? If it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best to do it."

How to grasp the degree of ability range does not depend on Claire himself? If it's just a simple joystick shout, it's not impossible for Claire to do it, but if you want him to charge and be a target, then his ability is not enough, so he can only apologize.

Even now, Claire feels that the reason why Norris stamped the church was not to help the church, but to fight against the church to see if he could survive under the siege of the church. Now it is obvious. He did so well that he caught his attention.

Norris laughed, "It's good that you have this idea, don't worry, the church tree has deep roots, and we will talk about this later."

Claire also agrees with this sentence. He is afraid that Norris will suddenly tell him that I will be working with the church tomorrow, so hurry up and prepare!

It seemed that the purpose of this conversation was to see Claire's attitude. After confirming that Claire and he were from the same faction, Norris asked other questions casually, and then asked Claire to retire.

Before leaving, he specially ordered: "If you have time in the capital these days, just go and play with Irene."

Claire could only nod and say yes, and then faced Norris' body and stepped back to the door.

After pushing the door open and walking out, Claire didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before meeting Joseph's fat, smiling face.

"Viscount Clare, how are you talking?"

"Not bad, Your Majesty is very nice."

"That's good, that's good." Joseph said twice, "I'll take you out."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, Your Majesty likes to be alone, so we can talk for a while."

"That's troublesome."

Claire walked side by side with Joseph in the huge mansion. Since knowing Joseph's true attitude towards the church, Claire's affection for him has risen a lot.

"Judge Joseph, when will the adventurer's guild be approved?" Claire asked. He has now determined that the reason why Joseph blocked his approval was to let Norris hide himself from him.

"You can start the construction when you go back, and the approval letter will just pass after the construction is completed. After all, the church is so staring at it, I have to delay it for a while, and the last excuse is to be an order from Your Majesty. already."

After getting the other party's firm commitment, Claire's mood improved a lot, and she even hummed a little tune.

It seems that no one has seen the leave request form yesterday, so I will repeat it again. It probably means that I owe you six chapters, and I will make it up after the holiday starts at the end of December!
