Chapter 156: Chapter 119 Honorary Citizen and Antioch’s Decision_3

"To find the most likely successful person amid the chaos, assist him, make him experience the meticulous help of the God of All Things. Let him know that the God of All Things is the True God in the world. That’s the secret of how we, the Church, can control the world with ecclesiastical power."

At this point, a glint of ambition flashed in Antioch’s eyes.

In speaking of Bishop Parviga, he was also referring to himself.

He had grown old.

But how annoying it was to his eyes, those figures on the Cardinal’s throne.

In the next election of the Cardinal Group by the Red Bishop Group, it will come down to who has contributed more to the Church, who has proselytized new areas, who has supported the creation of new high nobles and kings.

For Antioch to become a Cardinal, the most decisive method is to support a king’s ascension.

But that was almost too difficult.

It was a blessing, not something to be pursued.

He could not place his hope on such intangible matters.

So he sought to do the next best thing, supporting several major nobles who favor the Church and have the grace of the Church’s support would also be a good choice.

For the third time, Bishop Parviga asked Antioch cautiously, "Are you intending to summon him?"

Antioch shook his head. "It’s not the time yet."

"Wait a little longer."

"Investing requires choosing the right timing, and I need to observe for a while."

"It’s not appropriate for someone of my status to meet a baron. His current noble status is too low; at least he should wait until his rank gets elevated."

"I need you to do something for me. When I leave later, you will pass a message to him for me."

"Come, I’ll whisper it to you."

The color of Bishop Parviga’s face shifted several times.

He hadn’t expected that Lord Antioch would actually ask him to tell Ivita such a thing.

The bishop hesitated, but thought it over, bowed to Antioch, and then kept silent.

He had his little schemes, too.

After all, Ambros was a place where the ecclesiastical power was weak.

If he could serve as a bishop of a city in the Black Mountain Kingdom, it would be better than being a bishop here.

He was old and didn’t have as many opportunities as the young.

If he could latch onto Antioch this time, he could swap out his post, and he needed to seize this chance.

So, some not quite regular things can be ignored.

From the looks of it, this was also a test of Lord Antioch’s toward him.

As long as he did it, then he would be considered Antioch’s man.

...

Ivita, along with the guild leaders, successfully regained the army and captured all the noble troops.

The furious mayor of Parviga ordered two city guards to tie up Lord Prole.

Instead of speaking to the lord, the mayor went to Ivita first, shook Ivita’s hands with gratitude in his eyes, and fervently said, "Lord Ivita, thank you for your righteous help this time, which prevented our city’s people from becoming slaves to the nobles."

"Every citizen of this city should thank you."

"For this, we invite you to become an honorary citizen of Parviga and join the city council of Parviga!"

Ivita looked at the mayor in surprise.

Then he understood the mayor’s move as not only a reward for appreciating his help but also wooing him over.

Ivita had no reason to refuse. Becoming an honorary citizen of Parviga did not require any responsibility.

But if they wanted him to become the mayor here, Ivita would hesitate.

Because he did not want his territory to get involved in the war between the noble faction and the urban faction.

Ivita nodded and said, "I am honored to become a citizen of your respected city."

The mayor’s gaze at Ivita became more cordial.

Because Ivita was one of them now.

But he did not know yet that this new ally had already stolen the city hall’s treasure— the Water Dragon’s Tooth.
