Cannon Fodder Strategy

"My child, Grand Duke Aturi is a great man. His ancestors have made outstanding contributions to the stability of Nore. It will be of great benefit to you to associate with him." A meaningful expression appeared on Andrew's face. Smiling, when he saw Lily nodding, the look in his eyes became much softer: "I will tell you some important things next. Do you know the reason why Grand Duke Aturi entered the imperial capital this time?"

Lily naturally knew the reason why Aturi entered the imperial capital. On the carriage today, Aturi had already told him that he was summoned to Nore by His Majesty the Emperor.

At this moment, Archbishop Andrew came specifically to tell her about this matter, and Lily suddenly began to make calculations in her mind.

Although Andrew is currently a highly respected archbishop with a high reputation in the temple, no matter how good his reputation is, it does not mean that he is an ordinary old man with a pure heart and no scheming or strategies.

To achieve the position of archbishop in the temple, in addition to his kindness and prestige needing to be recognized and praised by people, strength and scheming are also essential. Otherwise, there are more than tens of millions of light believers in the entire Loland continent. In the human world of Loland continent, temples are distributed all over the place. Every few years, the temples will add a large number of candidate priests. The number of priests is countless. Andrew can start from one A priest with no backstage background can climb up the ladder smoothly step by step and become an archbishop. Now he can be regarded as occupying a place in the temple. He is not an ordinary person.

Even though the words he asked now were full of mystery, he seemed to be asking Lily, asking her if she knew the reason why Arturi entered the imperial capital. In fact, it has other meanings.

At first glance, his words sounded like they were extremely kind, just to use such words to draw closer to Lily so that she would not be so nervous, but after listening carefully. Lily found that he was testing herself. He asked this question because he wanted to wait for his answer. If she said that she didn't know how Arturi entered the imperial capital, and what the reason was for entering the imperial capital. Then he can tell that the relationship between him and Aturi will not be as close as he imagined.

If the Archbishop comes to you on his own initiative, his purpose cannot be because he has taken a fancy to Lily. In fact, although the original owner was born in the Roman family, the patriarch of the Roman family was promoted to earl because of the original owner. But in fact, in addition to the Roman family, Apart from his reputation, this earl was of little use. As an archbishop, Andrew would not take an earl seriously. He must have thought of cooperating with Aturi through Lily.

If the relationship between Lily and Aturi has reached a certain level of intimacy, then Lily is worthy of his win over. And if the relationship between Lily and Aturi is not as close as the archbishop imagined, he will definitely win over him. Say a few words casually and try to use Lily to achieve the purpose of meeting Aturi.

And there is a certain difference between the two, if he wants to win over Lily. Then the archbishop must pay something to represent his sincerity, and if he just uses Lily, then he doesn't have to pay any sincerity.

Lily thought about these causes and consequences very clearly in her mind. She had a shy and ignorant look on her face. After Andrew finished speaking, he stared at her with a smile. She pretended to be a little embarrassed. look.

She wasn't ready to tell Andrew everything Arturi said. He wanted to test herself, and Lily also wanted to see his sincerity, so she was silent for a while. Cheeks flushed. It was as if he was too nervous to speak.

"Don't be nervous, my child. The goddess of light is above, I just want to tell you something useful." Seeing Lily like this, Andrew's wrinkled eyes smiled like two crescent moons. Kind and affectionate, Lily seemed to be soothed by his gentle words. Gradually she calmed down and nodded:

"I heard that Sir Aturi entered the empire because of the summons of His Majesty the Emperor. Is that true, Your Excellency the Archbishop?"

As soon as she finished speaking, although Andrew's expression did not change, the smile in his eyes was obviously a little deeper. His expression became gentler, and every wrinkle on his face was full of intimacy and peace:

"I didn't expect that Grand Duke Aturi would really look at you differently. You only dated him twice, and he was even willing to tell you such a thing." Andrew secretly felt in his heart when he heard that Lily did know the truth about Aturi's entry into the imperial capital. He breathed a sigh of relief.

This Grand Duke was not enthusiastic about women in the past. He had already reached the age where he could marry and have children. According to his status, he could marry even the royal princess of Nore, but he seemed not to be interested in any of this. Unexpectedly, when he entered the imperial capital this time, he met with this young lady from the Roman family, and made two appointments in a row.

Arturi's character is not enthusiastic, but he can tell Lily certain things, which proves that he really has a special regard for this girl. Even if the status of the Roman family is too low in the future, Lily may not be able to leave the temple and marry into the Aturi family. , but if she becomes Aturi's favorite mistress, the result will be the same.

Seeing Lily lowering her head shyly because of what he said, Andrew began to seriously look at this candidate saint who he had never seen seriously before.

There are more than a dozen candidate saints in the temple, and each of them is an excellent body of light. All of these girls are as charming as young buds, and the original owner used to be the most contented one among these saints.

Although she was born into a noble family, I don’t know if it was because she entered the Temple of Light too early. Her belief in the Goddess of Light was extremely deep. Unfortunately, the Roman family background was too low. In the past, she didn’t seem to care much about the affairs of the temple. Instead, she was single-minded. She is immersed in studying the Holy Scriptures of Light, so she is not conspicuous in the temple, and she has no useful background. In fact, if it were not for Arturi's date with her, this candidate saint would not be noticeable. , and after several archbishops have chosen saints they want to recommend and support, there is no hope for her to win the title of saint.

But she has excellent luck. Her beautiful and pure appearance can charm men like Aturi who are not close to women. This has almost become a useful weapon for her. Also worthy of Andrew's attention.

"You know that Grand Duke Aturi was summoned to the imperial capital by His Majesty the Emperor. Then, my child, do you know the reason why His Majesty the Emperor summoned Grand Duke Aturi to the capital?"

Andrew wanted to test some more. His gentle eyes with a smile were staring closely at Lily:

"Don't be nervous, because your attitude is related to what I want to say to you next. Tell me seriously. Has the Grand Duke told you the reason?"

Lily seemed to be frightened by his nervous expression, and nodded hesitantly:

"He said..." When Lily said this, she paused. Although Andrew was still calm, the hands holding the Holy Book of Light suddenly became a little tight. He didn't completely believe Lily's previous words. Still wanting to test more, Lily felt the tense emotions all over his body. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly pursed them again: "Master Aturi said that this time he goes to Beijing, he will return to Aturi's territory in a month, because," Andrew stopped because of Lily's speech. , with a nervous and somewhat complicated look on his face. Lily saw the expression on his face clearly, and then continued: "Because Lord Aturi said that His Majesty the Emperor invited him to the Imperial Capital in order to invite him to participate in the upcoming Festival of Light!"

As soon as he said these words, the look in Andrew's eyes seemed to relax all of a sudden, as if a secret that everyone had concealed for a long time was finally revealed to the world one day. He felt a little relaxed, but also felt a little complicated and nervous. His body immediately relaxed. He leaned his back against the chair. Take a long breath.

The eyes that had held a gentle smile before were now closed as if they felt a little tired.

"My child, you are indeed a girl who is loved by the goddess of light. Grand Duke Aturi really looks at you differently. Yes, what I want to say to you today is related to the Light Festival, because it is going to be ahead of schedule. It was originally supposed to be held half a year later, but it was held ahead of schedule. Grand Duke Aturi was invited to the imperial capital by His Majesty the Emperor to participate in the Festival of Light." Originally, Andrew was a little suspicious of Lily saying that Aturi was summoned to the capital by the emperor. What he said was just random talk. At this time, after Lily told this secret that not many people knew, it was obvious that there was no doubt in his heart: "You know that this time of the Light Festival, in addition to selecting the saint in advance, Besides, there are other reasons, you know?”

"Are you going to elect a pope?" Lily asked. When Andrew heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "The Grand Duke can even tell you such a thing." He looked at Lily up and down. After a few glances, his expression gradually became serious:

"Yes, this time the Light Festival will not only select a saint, but also a candidate pope." Selecting a saint is not the highlight of this light festival. "Since the last pope and the saint in the temple had to deal with the darkness, Confronting the power, and returning to the embrace of the goddess of light, there has never been an appearance of the pope. This is not a happy thing for the temple."

After Andrew finished speaking, he sighed: "We believers do not understand the will of the Goddess of Light, but the reason why the Light Festival is advanced this time is because we got the news that the people in the Dark Temple are said to have obtained the oracles of the Dark Goddess. The seeds representing the Dark Goddess have entered the continent of Loland. As early as half a year ago, several archbishops and I obtained the goddess' oracle from the statue of the Goddess of Light. We must stop the Dark Goddess before she awakens, otherwise once The people of the Dark Temple have found their Saint. Then one day, darkness will permeate the entire earth. The Dark Goddess will reawaken from the Saint. The people of Loland Continent will become the servants of the Dark Goddess, and the Temple of Light will also No longer exists.” (To be continued~^~)

PS: First update~ There were so few messages yesterday. Even the advertising guys have given up on me? But I have seen everyone’s opinions. . . Because I have been too tired recently. I slept for less than ten hours in total in order to code words and not let everyone refresh at a time that is not an update. I slept for 72 hours in three days, the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday. . Sometimes I feel a bit in a trance when typing. I try my best to change it. Before or after uploading, I will masturbate myself once. But firstly, I feel a little unmotivated. Secondly, I seem to have entered a stuck state recently and I can't find it. That feeling, there are always thirty or so days a month that are not quite right...so I will try my best to adjust, please give me some time~~~~~
