A strange world

Chapter 1417 51. Olmedo's Thigh

"Son, the brothers and sisters of Blaviburg beg to serve you."

"Holy Son, the choir is preparing a hymn for you"

"Son, Wilhelm's followers don't know about your birth yet. Should we inform them?"

"Holy Son..."

“That’s enough!”

Facing a group of fearful bishops, Annan's tone softened again: "I am the Son of God, not the Pope. It is not my turn to interfere in these church affairs, right?"

The people surrounding him were either bishops or high-ranking clergymen, all of whom were important figures who were treated with courtesy by the nobles. But at this moment, they all looked like they wanted Annan to make the decision.

One of the portly bishops said, "But everyone says you are in charge of the church's affairs."

"Which blind bastard spread rumors about me?"

"…It's Archbishop Tomac."

"Well, if it's what the archbishop meant by designation, then it makes sense..." Annan stumbled, "But I think that it's a bit inefficient for you to report to me one thing at a time..."

"I see. Let's sort things out privately first." The wealthy bishop was suddenly enlightened.

"That's the best."

"Then send it to you at your leisure."

"That's even better."

"The Holy Son has just returned to the church and is not yet clear about the church's situation. We can also let the Holy Lady assist you."

"That's it!" Annan said approvingly, then realized: "Huh?"

Annan finally understood.

Going to these bishops and asking them to handle church affairs was fake, but taking sides was real.

As soon as he sent them out, Annan ran to Olmedo's office, hugged her thighs and begged: "Olmedo, you must help me!"

"Let me go first..."

Olmedo blushed, worried that this scene would be seen by outsiders... She didn't care, but it would be bad for Annan.

"I won't let go unless you help me!" Annan hugged the thigh in front of him even tighter.

"At least tell me how I can help you?" Olmedo said helplessly.

"Don't play dumb, I don't believe you don't know."

"You mean the church?"

Olmedo did know, after all, a large number of bishops were blocking the entrance to the city lord's palace.

"Have you figured out a solution?"

"How can it be so fast... In my opinion, it's a good thing that they are looking for you. It means that there are people in the church who are willing to stand on your side."

"Indeed, but it would be better if I didn't have to deal with church affairs."

"How is that possible? How can you control the church if you don't interfere in its affairs?"

"Well... leave it to you?"

"no."

But Olmedo was resolute.

Annan asked her the reason, and Olmedo said that Liberty City and the Church of Wealth could cooperate and form an alliance, but the core must be separated - they must never be mixed together.

What churches do best is to develop followers and convert others to their ideas. Turbulent times do not mean that they have lost this ability.

By then, the balance of power had changed... The people of Free City changed from listening to "Lord Annan" to listening to "Son Annan", and the meaning of this is self-evident.

There is something that Olmedo is unwilling to say - she does not want Liberty City to fall into the hands of outsiders.

Annan listened quietly and said, "I understand. You are worried about the divine right of kings, right?"

Who says Annan is unlearned? He is just too smart sometimes, but——

"Can you let me go first?"

"oh……"

Annan released Olmedo's legs and prepared to stand up.

Is it really possible to be a holy son in peace and security?

While hesitating, Annan glanced at the three piles of official documents on the table. He had personally seen Olmedo's desk grow from one pile to two piles, and then to three piles now...

no.

Absolutely not.

Not to mention the Son of God, even if you make yourself the goddess of wealth, don't think of restraining yourself!

How could the Church of Wealth be so evil? They didn’t even ask me to reimburse them for the potion when they summoned me this morning. How could they repay me with evil?

"Where are my staff?" Annan said.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Olmedo raised his head in panic, and Annan squatted down with a guilty conscience.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Lord Olmedo, I'm here to deliver today's financial report."

"Ah, okay...ok, just leave it there." Olmedo said unnaturally, and then saw Ingrid walking towards the desk.

She couldn't see Annan when she stood at the door, but that might not be the case if she came over.

"Uh Ingrid you...you don't have to come over, just stand there, I'll get it myself!"

Olmedo, inexplicably flustered, quickly walked around the desk to meet him.

"Ouch."

Annan, hiding under the table, covered his nose which was hit by Olmedo's knee.

Olmedo gave Ingrid an apologetic look, took the financial report, and took her with him as they walked out.

"I have some questions for you about the bank..."

"Meow~"

Just then, Lily jumped onto the window from outside, attracting three gazes in the room at the same time.

Olmedo thought to himself that this was not good. Annan also widened his eyes and waved desperately at Lily, mouthing: No, don’t come over here…

"What are you doing here meow~"

Lily jumped onto the carpet, walked towards Annan with her tail held high, and rubbed against him for a while.

"Lily, don't mess up Lord Olmedo's desk." Ingrid shook off Olmedo's hand and walked towards the desk.

not good--

Olmedo took a few quick steps and tried to grab Olmedo, but Lily, who had run behind the table, suddenly jumped out as if frightened, flew over the desk, and landed steadily on the carpet.

"Meow?"

Lily was still dazed when Olmedo picked her up.

Olmedo breathed a sigh of relief, took Lily in to prevent it from running around again, and hurried out with Olmedo.

Two minutes later, Olmedo returned to the office, glanced across the empty room, and said helplessly, "Why don't you come out? It's all right now."

A head gradually rose from behind the desk. It looked around first, confirmed that there was no one else besides Olmedo, and then stood up.

It was a close call. I almost lost my reputation in front of my subordinates...

"You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to look for my staff."

Annan wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to the door, and almost bumped into a figure standing outside the door.

"Eh? Ingrid, when did you get here?"

"When you were lying under the table."

"What under the table? I crawled in through the window. Haha, you guys chat while I go find my staff—"

Annan lowered his head, walked past Ingrid, and hurried downstairs with his face covered.
