When she saw George holding the title certificate above his head almost as a joke, and then handing it to Ariel, Ariel almost thought she had heard wrong.

She pointed to her nose and said in the same almost joking tone: "Marquis? Have I been promoted to a peerage again?"

George laughed and said: "Of course! After all, Mr. Marquis, you are now managing not just one province, but almost three provinces! Even if we are enemies, we should still give you a proper share."

His aristocratic status."

Ariel shook her head: "You know this doesn't mean anything to me. Besides, if you beat your army, your emperor will give me a title? Then if I fight against Hanhai City in the future, will the tide be in front of me?

Will you grant me the title of Duke?"

George laughed and said: "No matter what, now you are truly a Marquis. Since you are a Marquis, of course you have the right to manage everything under your command, including territory, taxes, soldiers, people, etc. You

You don’t have to accept it, but His Majesty the Emperor will also publicize it everywhere.”

Ji Lian, who was standing next to him, chuckled and said, "I really don't understand what Tide Tide's brain circuit is thinking. President, from the surface, it seems that the other party wants to temporarily cease war with us?"

But to Margaux on the other side, she waved her hand and said with a smile: "What kind of truce? Let me see, it's clear that you know you can't beat it, so you give it a title that is only superficial, and then show that both sides can still make peace."

Okay, let's delay the time to make elemental weapons as much as possible. President, this is a tactic to delay time. After they have the weapons ready, they will attack again."

Ariel nodded slightly, but now that she was smiling, she couldn't just slap someone in the face. Just let the marquis be the marquis. It doesn't have much practical significance anyway.

George smiled and continued: "Then, please accept the title. In addition, as members of the Holy See, we still hope to see the church be completed as soon as possible. Before the construction is completed, we hope to stay in Peking University for the time being.

Conduct evangelistic work in Lilic City. Of course, the time, location, and scope are all determined by you according to the contract."

Margo tilted her head slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, at six o'clock in the morning for the Holy Night Festival at the end of the year, you have an hour to come and preach to me. The time, place, and scope have all been decided. You don't have to

I’ll stay here, go back, and come back at the end of the year.”

Seeing Margaux's current sarcasm, George did not object. He just smiled and said immediately: "If I guessed correctly, the presiding priest of this church should be Ms. Margaux, right? You are the first in history.

A female priest is a historic person. I look forward to your preaching work in the church."

To be honest, Margo almost laughed when she heard this sentence. She didn't understand preaching at all, let alone what the priest was going to do. Anyway, we had discussed it before, if she really wanted to be the priest of this church.

If so, then think of it as a place where you can use healing techniques to treat pain and listen to people's complaints.

Therefore, Margaux did not object, but nodded and said again with that obviously malicious expression: "It's good that you know."

Then, George also turned his head and looked at a couple standing in the corner of the hall, then walked forward and said with a smile: "These two should be the Macaroon Couple, right? I've heard about them a long time ago. Hmm...

The position of Paladin in this church should be held by Mrs. Macaroon, right? When the church is built, let's go to the church together. The official induction of a Paladin requires the testimony of three Templars who have already entered the service. We have just

There are three of us, so we can complete the formal appointment of a paladin for you. Oh my, this church is really amazing, the first paladin is also a woman! Hahaha, it’s really great!”

While George looked very happy, Suta's expression changed, looking a little embarrassed and not knowing what to do.

She secretly turned her head to look at her husband next to her. Now, Bass's face showed no emotion. But his eyes clearly stayed on George's face for a moment, and then turned away.

"Dear...don't mind..."

After George walked away, Sutta nervously stretched out his hand to hold Bass's hand, but Bass pushed it away pretending to be casual.

Then, the magic swordsman turned and left without even saying a word.

As a result, the matter of building a church in Pelican City was decided. This is really a good thing for many people in the entire marginal province who still have faith in the God of Light.

However, this is indeed a good thing for those who still have faith, but for Ariel, it is not a good thing.

Those with faith began to donate money and materials, and even volunteered without any money. Some people even donated all their savings.

This situation was far beyond Ariel's expectations, and all her original plans were shattered.

At this moment, she deeply understood the purpose of George Peanutton's Song of the Mermaid regarding almost all the power of the Holy See.

She also finally understood how naive and boring it was to try to clear everyone's belief in religion in just three to five years, and even to prevent these people from providing large sums of funding for religion.

idea...

In this regard, no matter what Ariel's original intention is, there is no way to prevent the cathedral of the Holy See of Light from being built in Pelican City. It may take some time to be fully completed, but as a temporary missionary area that has been temporarily allocated

, but the believers had already begun to gather. On the morning of the first Sunday after the decision was made to establish the church, the believers waited here early.

"Wow - so many people!"

Coco glanced at the crowd sitting on the temporary venue from a distance. It seemed that this small open space that could accommodate about fifty people was now darkly packed with more than a hundred people! Many people even stood still.

On the edge of the site, if this location had not been chosen to be relatively remote, it might have blocked the passage outside.

The necromancer turned his head and glanced at Margaux next to him. Seeing Margaux looking so troubled and worried, he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Margaux, can you really pray to so many people?"

?Hehehe, now you are a serious pastor, you can no longer treat these people with the same attitude as before~~~"

Margot glared at Coco, but said nothing. As the time for the service came, she could only curse in her heart, exhale, and walk towards the pulpit.

Seeing this woman with the powerful power of light standing in front of the pulpit, trying her best to look solemn, this really made Coco feel a little funny.

She originally planned to finish listening to Margaux's sermon here and see how well she could deliver some of the sermons she had hastily learned from those books during this period.

But just when she was here with her arms folded and wanted to listen, she suddenly saw an elemental convoy rushing past at an extremely fast speed from the somewhat crowded road outside.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way everyone!!!"

The speed of the convoy was very fast, so fast that they almost didn't care about the pedestrians on the road.

The man driving the car didn't seem to show much intention to slow down, except for shouting loudly to ask the people in front to get out of the way.

Soon, the convoy rushed through several streets, and it seemed that it was heading directly towards the guild of Mermaid Song.

"Get out of the way!"

There was a sharp turn ahead, and the car in front still showed no sign of slowing down. Instead, he held the steering wheel and twisted hard, and the whole car immediately went sideways at an extremely fast speed. But such a fast sprint obviously made the car in front of him on the road.

The old man walking on the road was unable to avoid the vehicle and was about to be hit by the vehicle.

"Whoaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The driver hurriedly stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel sharply.

But the next second, he found that his elemental car suddenly flew up and was suspended in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward.

The elemental cars that are following behind will also fly up if they turn too fast. Only some elemental cars that know how to slow down can stop safely.

It was at this time that the drivers saw a one-armed young man standing in front of the frightened old man who had fallen down. His eyes stared sternly at the driver of the elemental car, waiting for all the cars to stop.

After receiving the control, he asked sternly: "Don't you know you have to slow down when entering the city? Which army are you from?"

Seeing Jelly, the driver of the elemental car parked on the ground immediately jumped out of the car and hurried to Jelly. After hammering his chest, he said nervously: "Report to the general! We are affiliated with

Regarding the 11th Unit of the Mermaid Army, we have urgent information and we must inform the Marquis as soon as possible!"

Jiji frowned, because Unit 11 is a reconnaissance unit and is usually responsible for reporting emergencies directly to Ariel. But they look so nervous now, could something very nervous really happen?

"Then you can't drive like that in the city! How dangerous is it to hit people?"

Jelly scolded, and then the elemental cars suspended in mid-air slowly landed -

"Everyone, get out of the car and apologize to everyone! Then, run forward!"

Following Jelly's order, the soldiers had to get out of the car one by one and line up in front of her. After apologizing to the old man and the surrounding citizens, they were able to run to Mermaid Song.

At this time, Coco had also rushed over. Seeing these people getting out of the car and running over one by one, he felt a little strange and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiji shook his head: "I don't know either, it was the 11th Army Unit that came to deliver the news."

Coco was shocked and covered her mouth and said: "The Eleventh Force? That intelligence force that is only directly responsible to the president? Aren't they monitoring the movements of the Blue Bay Empire? Why are they all back now? The empire is going to war again.

?!"

Jiji frowned slightly, thought for a while, sighed and said: "Let's follow as soon as possible. I guess it's probably not something like the empire going to war again. This kind of thing won't make them so panicked and nervous. It must be.

…There must be something else that we don’t know much about.”

Feeling nervous and uneasy, the two of them followed the Eleventh Unit and rushed towards the guild.

Soon, the two arrived at the guild. When they opened the door, they happened to see these soldiers reporting the news to Ariel. As soon as they saw the two of them coming in, these people immediately shut up, acting like espionage agents very well.

The qualities you should have.

Ariel nodded slightly, waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, keep talking."

The soldiers nodded, and the soldier who had just been lifted directly into the air by the gel said——

"Yes! According to the latest news we got, the Hunter Empire has gathered its legions and is marching towards the border of the Blue Bay Empire. But -"

"What?! The Hunter Empire?!"

Before the soldier could continue talking, Sweet Wine Cheese, who also got the news outside and rushed back, now appeared in the hall. As soon as she heard the news, she jumped up and rushed directly in front of the soldier, grabbing him.

Lifting the opponent high by his collar, he shouted loudly——

"They attacked the Blue Bay Empire?! Those bastards! Less than three years after the peace agreement was signed, they are about to tear up the agreement?!"

The soldier who was being lifted up couldn't speak. The soldier next to him quickly went up to help him and said nervously -

"Miss Sweet Cheese! You...you misunderstood! Please hear us out!"

Ariel also signaled for Sweet Cheese to put him down first. The soldier covered his breathless neck. As he slowed down, the soldier next to him continued:

"There is nothing wrong with the Orion Empire sending troops into the Blue Bay Empire, but the reason is to help the Blue Bay Empire destroy us rebels. And... the emperor of the Blue Bay Empire has approved this approach."

This incident not only stunned Sweet Cheese on the spot, but even Ariel, who had always maintained a calm attitude, was now a little confused.
