Chapter 600 It’s up to you
"Mr. Milhak, what you said is too much." Lisa, who had been silent, finally spoke, and said with a gloomy face, "I know better than you who my brother is. Even if I really find my home world, I I believe that my brother’s position will remain neutral... No matter how the situation changes, as a person, he will always be loyal to our Lord and to the Holy Spirits of Parvatika. Maybe the decision made by my brother is not the best for Parvatika. world, but it is definitely the most beneficial to the Holy Spirits, there is no doubt about this. When you say this to me now, do you want to imply that my brother will harm the interests of the Holy Spirits for personal gain in order to favor his home world?"

"Perhaps you are right, Lady Lisa, Priest Shuer would indeed not do this." Milhak did not insist, but said thoughtfully, "It can be seen from the behavior of Priest Shuer in the past few years. There are clues that he does not look like the kind of person who acts randomly for personal gain. Well, the past few years when he led the Shadow Chaser team were the most difficult times for the Dark Moon Temple, but he would rather choose to seriously affect his personal reputation among the people. , and has not harmed the interests of the team. In the past few years, the public funds of their team have been controlled by him as the captain, but he has not embezzled a single copper coin, and the accounts are as clean as white paper. Based on this, I really don’t We should suspect that after he finds his home world, he will use his power for personal gain."

"That's right." Lisa's expression softened a little, "That's why his teammates are willing to follow him, no matter life or death."

"The problem is, Lady Lisa..." Milhak sighed and shook his head, "As a Parvatiga, this is the most terrifying thing. We actually hope that he will do this. Do you... Could it be Don't you want it?"

Lisa's face froze and she was speechless, yes, isn't what the Parvatiga people want, is to use power for personal gain?
Of course, in fact, it is not as serious as the use of power for personal gain. The community was initiated by the Pavatiga world, and the gods also came from the Pavatiga world. The creatures of the world are tilted.

For the Parvatiga people, this is actually a matter of course. When other civilizations joined, they must have been mentally prepared. Even the gods acquiesced to the mortals in their hometowns to a certain extent. In other words, all three parties can readily accept this so-called 'abuse of power for personal gain'.

Even Lisa herself, before High Priest Milhak made it clear, had hoped so, and she had taken it for granted. That’s why hearing Milhak’s words felt so abrupt, Lisa was like this, let alone others.

However, because of Seul's reputation for fairness in the past, and more importantly because of his non-Pavadiga position, 'it's a matter of course' becomes less certain, just as Lisa imagined, when the optimal solution and ' Of course, when there is a conflict, Shuer will definitely choose the former. Huh, no wonder Milhak came to the house secretly to discuss the matter in such a serious manner.

Lisa rubbed her forehead with a headache. She no longer bothered to figure out what temples were behind Milhak. If nothing else, there must be a lot of them. The girl was a little skeptical. Maybe more than half of the temples of the main gods were standing there. Behind the opponent, even if they don't join in action, they probably have similar thoughts. Of course, only those with sufficient intelligence.No, the girl even felt that even some of the gods were waiting to see the outcome of Milhak's trip. After all, this was also a very important matter to the gods.

Lisa suddenly felt extremely irritable. In the past, no matter what she faced, as long as she thought of her brother, the girl would feel very happy. She felt that there were no difficulties in the world, at least not in front of her brother. But this time, when she thought about her brother, the girl felt very happy. I feel more and more irritable, not towards Xiure of course, but a sense of anxiety for no reason.

The elder brother is always right, and those who question the elder brother are wrong. This is the eternal truth.

But this time, this time... the girl felt that her spirit was being divided into two halves, one half was a pure Parvatiga creature, and the other half was the sister who loved her brother the most.

"So..." Lisa wanted to leave here immediately, but escaping was not the solution to the problem, not to mention her identity did not allow her to be so willful, so the girl could only frown tightly and said in a low voice, "Mir Mr. Harker, you have said so much, what exactly do you want to express?"

"You came here to tell me that there is something wrong with my brother's position and it is not in line with everyone's expectations. What next? My brother said that any behavior a normal person makes will have the most fundamental purpose. What is your fundamental purpose? What do you want? What do you want to achieve? You don't want me to believe that you just came to me and said this because you were bored."

"So I want to know, what is your intention? Do you want to express your opposition to my brother's plan? Or are you against my brother? Why are you negotiating with me alone? Do you want to make suggestions to your brother through me? Or do you want to find out your brother's attitude from me? It’s impossible...you want me to...stand up and confront my brother, right? Sir Milhak, you are also from the Rose City, and you should know the relationship between me and my brother best. If such a request comes from your mouth , I would be very disappointed.”

"No, of course not." Milhak smiled wryly at himself. After decades of career as a priest, the skin on his face was sore when he was stabbed by the eyes of a 15-year-old girl. "Ms. Lisa, actually, I do There is no purpose, or to be precise, my purpose is very complicated."

"Ok?"

"First of all, let me state that I don't have any ill intentions. The importance of Priest Shuer to Parvatija is self-evident. If I had any ill intentions, I'm afraid my Lord would not forgive me, let alone all the gods. Moreover, what the Priest did All the temples must accept his favor, and I don’t want to harm the interests of Priest Xiure and the Dark Moon Temple.”

"I understand." Although Lisa's expression softened a little, the irritability in her heart continued to increase, but she had nowhere to vent. "My first goal has actually been achieved. I'm sorry, Lady Lisa. I want to determine the future attitude of Priest Xiu Er from you. Unfortunately, the answer is not much different from what we imagined."

Damn it, I’m still too inexperienced. The corners of Lisa’s mouth twitched, but she didn’t feel much regret.There is no need to regret. This is no longer a matter of competing for interests or calculating against each other. It may very well represent an irreconcilable conflict. Instead of concealing it for a while and laying hidden dangers for the future, it is better to expose the problem as Milhak said. say clearly.

"The second purpose, I want to know if you and we have the same expectations. Do you also hope that Parvatiga can occupy a pivotal position in the future community, just like the metal lifeforms and the Suo people? The future we will inevitably have is the same. Or do you have no special feelings for Parvatiga, or in other words, you also feel that the creatures of Parvatiga should be treated equally with intelligent creatures in other worlds, and everything must be fought for by yourself."

Lisa bit her lip and finally shook her head slightly.

"Oh, I already understand your answer, Lady Lisa. Considering the closeness between you and Priest Shuer, your hesitation is enough to illustrate your attitude."

"No, I think that even if the attitude of the gods has tilted towards decision-making, as believers of the gods, we are not qualified to be overly dependent. We still have to fight for it with our own efforts. Just like the example you gave before, if If I die, there are better and more influential Dark Moon believers in Parvatiga than Delia. My brother will naturally choose the Parvatiga people. In the same way, we cannot place our hopes on other factors. The main thing is to On their own."

"Of course." Milhak nodded while twirling his beard, "But you can't deny that sometimes 'other factors' are also quite critical. So, can I think that you also hope that 'other factors' can play a role in Is Parvatika more advantageous?"

Lisa was silent again. There was no point in lying to hide her true thoughts. After pondering for a long time, the girl finally nodded.

"That's enough, I don't have anything else to do." Milhak's words made Lisa look up in shock. The girl discovered that the other party had no intention of joking at all. "I'll tell you all these things and understand your attitude. This is The purpose of my trip does not require you to do anything, and we do not require anything from you. You know something and we know something, and that is enough."

"No request?" The girl felt a little angry, "If I made all these things clear to my brother, didn't you ask?"

"It's up to you to decide whether to keep it secret or not. After all, we have the same expectations. If you feel that telling Priest Shuer clearly will be beneficial to realizing your expectations, then we support your decision." Milhak smiled irresponsibly. "We respect Lord Shuer very much, and the gods also recognize him and are ready to accept him into the ranks of the gods. However, sometimes the more we pay attention to him, the more vigilant we become. And some things are unavoidable for everyone. , including us, and you, Lady Lisa.”

"So, I hope you can think it through and be mentally prepared in all aspects." Milhak finally sighed, "The next step is to pray that Priest Shuer will understand his position and not make too many wrong choices. .”

After saying the last sentence, Milhak shook his head with a wry smile, bowed to Lisa, turned around and left the Dark Moon Holy Hall, leaving Lisa alone, sitting alone in the reception room of the Holy Hall.

"Aunt Talina, Aunt Melia." After sitting for nearly an hour, Lisa said to the two priests who had returned, "Don't mention today's matter to your brother yet."

"Master Archbishop?"

"I will find a suitable time to tell my brother personally." The girl smiled sadly, her face full of exhaustion.
