I really can't control myself.

Chapter 476 Joint Force

"Sorry for taking the liberty to come to visit. I just returned to the imperial capital recently, and I heard about your deeds from Yalan, so I came here uninvited. Please forgive me, Lord Sword Master." Melissa said with a smile.

"Melissa is my good friend. She left the imperial capital some time ago because of the Holy See's affairs. I just came back not long ago. I just received the order from my father to come here, so we came here together." Princess Yalan next to her also explained.

So what Ya Lan means is that Melissa is her best friend?Just curious to see for yourself?Linton didn't know much about this woman, but to be honest, he didn't have a good opinion of the Holy See.After thinking about it, he asked directly, "Just to meet me?"

"Actually, there is still something else." Melissa said, "In fact, after hearing about Your Excellency's deeds, I also have a heartfelt request. There is one thing I hope to get Your Excellency's help."

"What's the matter?" Linton asked. It's a good thing to ask for help, it's better than to ask for trouble.

"In fact, I returned to the Holy See mainly because of this incident. To tell you the truth, the highest priest of the church, Mrs. Mela, is seriously ill and has been bedridden for a year. Now her condition is getting worse and she is no longer able to serve as the highest priest. One position. According to the discussions between the Council of Superintendents and the Pope, Lord Meera will step down as the highest priest, and this position will be elected among the current four priests. As one of the four candidates, I hope to get Lord Linton's help." Melissa bowed her head and said.

"Huh?" Yalan next to her was taken aback, obviously even she didn't know about it.

"It's easy to understand the previous part, but I'm a little confused by what I said at the end." Linton said, "I have nothing to do with the church, and I'm not a member of the church. What does your being the highest priest have to do with me? Can I help you?" What are you up to?"

"I hope Lord Linton can become my guardian knight." Melissa said.

"Uh... what is that?" Linton was confused.

"Ahem, I need to leave." Princess Yalan suddenly coughed a few times and said to everyone.Usually, it is not very strange to say that you have to leave at this kind of banquet. In fact, you need to go to the bathroom, but a person with the status of a princess can't say it clearly, but Princess Yalan obviously didn't mean to go to the bathroom. She handed it to Linton. cast a look.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Of course Linton understood, and followed Princess Yalan out the door.Of course, everyone understands such an obvious situation, but no one objects.

Sure enough, as soon as Linton went out, he saw Princess Yalan waiting for him in the corridor. Linton went directly to Princess Yalan and asked, "What's the situation with your girlfriend?"

"I just heard about this too." Princess Yalan said, "Melissa is indeed here for you. When she came to me before, I already felt that she was asking about you again. , I knew she must be planning something, but I didn't expect it to be this."

"What is the guardian knight she said?" Linton asked.

"To put it simply, it is the knight leader under her name. If she succeeds in becoming the highest priest, then you will become the leader of the Knights of the Goddess Hand of the Church." Thoughts, first of all, you are not the patriarch of the family, nor do you have a fief, you can indeed become a knight, and under various conditions, you are already the strongest candidate."

"There are too many things I don't understand." Linton raised his forehead. He didn't know anything about the organization of the church. The Knights of the Hand of the Goddess sounded very powerful, but he didn't know what it was.Linton thought for a while and asked, "Anyway, do you think this can be done?"

"If it's just this matter, I think you can consider it." Princess Yalan said, "If you can become the head of the Goddess Hand Knights, it is indeed a good thing, but... this matter should not be that simple. .”

"Not that simple?" Linton asked.

"Although it seems to be Melissa's personal choice, in my opinion, it is definitely an order from the church that she came to you." Princess Yalan said, "It should be that the high level of the church ordered Melissa to approach you. This matter should be just an excuse. Regarding the highest priest, although it seems that the four priests compete fairly, but... you should understand what I mean."

"Understood." Linton nodded. What Yalan meant was that the highest priest was actually pre-determined, and the competition for the top position was just a passing show. This is not a strange thing.

"Judging from the current situation, Melissa should be the one chosen by default." Princess Yalan said, "Since she dares to make a request, she will naturally guarantee you the position of head of the Goddess Hand. hinting at you."

"That is to say, the church promised me a position and hooked me, but the purpose was actually to get close to and investigate me?" Linton said, "What is the investigation about?"

"I don't know about that either." Princess Yalan said, "In short, if you agree, Melissa will naturally be by your side. This should be what she wants."

"Then it's over if I don't agree?" Linton spread his hands.

"Are you sure?" Princess Yalan asked.

"It doesn't look good, right? What did you tell me about the situation?"

"I think that if you reject her, the Holy See will think of other ways. Since you are already eyeing you, it is impossible to just give up like this," Princess Yalan said.

"That's actually..." Linton nodded. It is true that he refused this time, and the Holy See can't just say so, right? He will look for another opportunity at that time, and investigate both openly and secretly, "So what should we do? If you don’t know something, respond first, and then see what information the other party wants to get from me, it’s better.”

"It's... not so good." Princess Yalan hesitated, "In this case, you won't be able to return to the imperial capital..."

Linton instantly understood what Princess Yalan meant, so what else to say at this time, he put his hands on Princess Yalan's shoulders, and looked down into her eyes.

"That...that..." Sure enough, Princess Yalan lowered her head instantly.

"Don't worry, I'll get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, and then return to the imperial capital to marry you." Linton said immediately.

"I... I'm not in such a hurry..." Princess Yalan said in a low voice.

"I'm in a hurry." Linton said with a smile, "You can't cooperate with me in a hurry."

"I just...don't listen to your nonsense..."

"How long will it take to act with that guy?" Linton asked.

"In my opinion, the church should and does not really want you to be the head of the Goddess Hand Knights." Princess Yalan said, "After all, that is an extremely important position. As far as your birth is concerned, entering the Holy See The core is not realistic..."

"So if they investigate what they want to investigate, they should find a reason to kick me away," Linton said.

"It should be like this..." Princess Yalan also looked a little uncertain.

"So what exactly are they trying to investigate?" Linton raised his forehead.

"Maybe I'm curious about you." Princess Yalan said, "After all, you were just an outcast of a baron's family a few months ago, and now you suddenly become a hero admired by everyone. thing."

"Are you curious about my cheating?" Linton suddenly remembered the master he made up. Could it be that the church is curious about this aspect?Of course, it may also be a matter of "undead magic" or the Church of Cthulhu. This really needs to be asked on Melissa's side.

"That means if they are satisfied, they won't bother me, right?" Linton thought for a while, "Let's find a way to make up a better story."

"That's it." Princess Yalan probably understood Linton's meaning, but said quickly, "But you have to be careful, Melissa is a very smart woman, she is not easy to deceive."

"Being able to serve as the highest priest of the church at this age, I don't think it's as simple as it looks on the surface." Linton said, "Is it true that it is pink and black?"

"What is that?" Princess Yalan asked.

"It's okay, this guy is smart, and my wife is not stupid, how about you fight her and I'll give you an assist?" Linton said with a smile.

"I?"

"Didn't I say that I still have something to do, you just say you want to help me and stay, you shouldn't be in a hurry to go back." Linton said, "It's troublesome to fight with women, I'm really not good at it , help me find out what's going on with her and what she wants to know, so I can save some trouble."

"..." Princess Yalan looked at Linton speechlessly.

"Then can you help me?" Linton said, "You don't want to see me suffer, right? We are a family."

"Who is a family with you? Not yet." Princess Yalan said, "Me Lisa and I are indeed good friends. Although we have different positions, I don't want to count her..."

"So this means that if you want to calculate, you can still beat her, right?" Linton said, "As expected of my wife, you just have confidence."

"You're looking for trouble, that's not what I mean." Princess Yalan said.

"Then you go back now, I'm not alone with her all day..." Linton said suddenly.

"..." Princess Yalan was startled suddenly.

"Your best friend is still..."

"You're right, I'll help you." Princess Yalan said decisively suddenly.

"This is a bit too realistic..." Linton held his forehead, "Just now you said that you didn't want to plot against her."

"Then you want to be alone with her?" Princess Yalan asked.

"No, no, no, this guy is just a mess in my eyes." Linton said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you try to plot against her, I'll cheer you up, don't think too much about it, do you think so?"
