CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 155: WHO APPROVES? WHO OPPOSES? (DOUBLE-LENGTH)

Because this is the Virgin Goddess.

Giving birth is certainly not under the jurisdiction of the Virgin Goddess.

But the Guardian Fairies of Avalon are not the Virgin Goddess! If you can make the land yield bountiful fruits, can’t you perform some divine intervention to swell a woman’s belly?

To this, the Guardian Fairies of Avalon feel extremely aggrieved.

They hold an agricultural divine position, not a fertility divine position. Moreover, Duncan has only been close to two women, one of whom is quite unconventional, and the other romantic experiences don’t provide the conditions for having descendants. It’s just Anya eating to her heart’s content.

These precious resources haven’t been dispersed. Even if they want to help, there’s nothing they can do!

Duncan is already close to being a Demigod.

Such a powerful being naturally finds it very difficult to have offspring, and this era is still the receding time of myth. Even though the ceiling is slightly higher recently, really, bearing offspring depends a bit on luck.

Anyway, because Severus asked too much, the Guardian Fairies are also somewhat annoyed. Who knows when their facial expressions suddenly started to have a kind of loving mother’s slight change.

This was a real intention to try and touch upon the concept of a fertility divine position.

However.

Avalon’s faith has the agricultural basics in place. No matter how they change, it remains the concept of animal husbandry reproduction, which is very difficult to suddenly leap to human childbirth and family concepts.

If really necessary, then find him a few more lovers to try.

Severus ultimately returned with no success, and he turned the pressure entirely on the pitiable Anya. He is even the only one who dared to pressure Crow Queen - Triss, to try. If worst comes to worst, change faith, serving the Virgin Goddess isn’t any better. You could consider changing faith to the Celestial Empress or something.

He is truly bold, rendering Crow Queen - Triss stunned, speechless for a long time.

After all, he was a founding elder, who had yielded to Duncan at the life-or-death juncture.

For Severus, as long as there is an heir, boy or girl, it doesn’t matter; it at least proves Duncan’s bloodline can continue.

Severus is somewhat obsessed.

He has traditional Celtic thoughts, such a vast domain, such expansive territory, such a large nation, definitely will conquer larger lands in the future. How could one go without a direct bloodline heir?

Heir represents just how long the empire can continue, how many years peace and stability can be maintained.

The absence of an heir is a path to chaos!

The traditional nobles absolutely do not recognize adopted heirs; they believe only direct bloodline can inherit Duncan’s excellent genes. Some are even secretly selecting other candidates, perhaps a princess from a Germanic tribe or a Celtic tribe.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a Roman princess; they are not picky as long as they can produce an heir.

A daughter first would be fine!

Ireland and Scotland have traditions of queens; even if a daughter is born, they would grudgingly accept it.

Anyway, it’s a case of the emperor not worrying while the eunuchs are anxious.

But Duncan’s main focus is currently on the situation in the Italian Peninsula. However, he has noticed that the number of beautiful girls serving around him has increased, and they all seem well-educated.

Not only are the nobles anxious, but the people below are also anxious. Without an heir, how can this country be passed on? Anya is practically guilty as sin.

Duncan’s lineage is indeed very sparse.

But after conquering the Frankish territory, Duncan has too many issues to handle.

Moreover, he currently has an exceedingly tricky issue, which is about Frankish faith.

Within the governor’s mansion.

Duncan summoned his personal guard and said solemnly, "Saint Patrick hasn’t arrived yet?"

Carl quickly returned respectfully, "He should have reached the port of Calais."

"He’ll arrive in Paris by tomorrow at the latest."

Duncan slightly nodded and instructed, "Then summon the Bishop of the Arian Sect tomorrow."

The Norse Pantheon suffered a decisive defeat.

Those Germanic barbarians who came south, whether Western Goths or Franks, primarily believe in the Arian Sect, while the old Norse belief has waned greatly.

Missionary work simply cannot compete.

The faith conflict here is more severe than in the British Province, Duncan must subdue the Arian Sect to stabilize the faith conflict.

The next morning.

The dust-covered Saint Patrick arrived in Paris, looking at the distant church’s cross with a slightly solemn expression.

Though he is a Saint, he just acts in remote areas, preaching in Ireland, which means he doesn’t have a wide reputation among saints, only receiving recognition and support from the church in the British Province.

The Arian Sect here in Gaul respects saints but does not obey his orders.

"Bishop."

Beside him, a priest’s apprentice excitedly, cautiously said, "Is the Governor planning to nominate you as Archbishop?"

Archbishop should be called the Archbishop.

But in fact, far beyond this, Saint Patrick has been wandering alone for years, preaching in Ireland, how could he not understand the Governor’s intention.

This is about to don the red robe.

Although there isn’t a concept of Cardinal yet, a red-robed Archbishop is inherently a reserve pope, possessing the power to be nominated by others as Pope. Moreover, the current church still follows the apostolic succession method. As a Saint, Saint Patrick naturally possesses this capability.
