Eugene was stunned for a moment, coughed slightly to hide his emotion, and asked with a smile: "Are you serious?"

"Honestly, you can see it for yourself."

"Does Yanis know about this?"

Roland looked at Eugene calmly and said calmly: "Of course I know, I never hide it from her."

Eugene's face looked slightly unnatural.

Roland just stated the facts, but inadvertently slapped his old face.There was nothing so honest between him and Agnes.

There is a World Tree in the Viscounty of Gracia, and he knew about it a month ago.

As the World Tree grows, more and more high-grade fertilizers and magic materials are consumed.

People from the Holy Court were stationed there to preach, so it was strange that they couldn't see any clues.

However, Agnes never mentioned this matter, but the priest Lunia who was placed next to her did not hide it.

Lunia didn't know about World Tree, but he was keenly aware of the abnormal situation and reported it truthfully.

Seeing that Eugene was not too surprised, Roland knew that the old guy had already gotten the information.

He smiled and said: "I asked Yanis to keep it a secret, so she probably hasn't told you."

"Indeed not. This child has always kept his promises. Since he promised to keep the secret, he will naturally abide by it."

Eugene felt a little disappointed.

It’s not surprising that Agnes kept the secret, but she could have reported the anomalies in the Viscount of Gracia like Lunia did, but she didn’t.

Inadvertently, the top priority in her heart was no longer the Divine Palace.

Yes, she is Roland's vassal and a Knight of Light.

But if she continues to stay in the Holy Court, she is very likely to become a cardinal in the future. Could it be that the cardinals of the Holy Court are no better than a mere knight?

Eugene calmed down and asked softly: "Why did you tell me?"

"The World Tree is in my territory, and it is even more within the human race's sphere of influence. It is the sacred tree of our human race. You are the real high-level human race, and you are closely related to Yanis. I can't hide it from you."

Roland smiled frankly, "You can't hide it even if you want to. You have already seen it."

Eugene looked at Roland with even more surprise, "You are honest."

"Yanice warned me that you are the most loyal servant of the goddess, with a discerning eye that can see everything. I can only be honest and humble in front of you."

Although this was a very direct flattery, Eugene still felt very comfortable hearing it.

No one hates flattery, unless it's done in the wrong way.

Roland's casual gesture put Eugene in a good mood.

Seeing that Roland understood the general situation so well, he simply asked directly: "Do you want to believe in the light?"

"I accept the Holy Palace's mission in the territory, so naturally my heart is towards the light."

Of course, Eugene would not accept this excuse. He asked in a deep voice: "What I'm talking about is asking you to believe in the goddess of light."

"It's my pleasure."

Roland stood up suddenly, with a bit of excitement in his expression, and said in a trembling voice: "I have a heart for the light, but I can't find the way. I ask the Patriarch to guide me."

Although he guessed that Roland would probably say this, seeing that he had no mental barriers, Eugene couldn't help but complain:

"Roland, you seem to believe in both the Goddess of Nature and the Goddess of the Stars."

"Your information is very accurate, indeed." Roland's expression was calm, as if what he just said was just a trivial matter.

Eugene, a believer in flexibility, has seen many people, but this is the first time he has seen someone so flexible.

The bottom line is flexible, the skin is thick enough, the luck is good, and the potential is great.

Roland has many ingredients for success.

Agnes' words echoed in Eugene's mind.

"We are late, but at least we must win over Roland before the Dark Holy Court. Our investment in him will definitely bring rich returns. This is my advice. Please consider it seriously, the Patriarch."

This conversation also started because of Yanis’ suggestion.

Agnis's vision is very accurate, but after all, she is only a young girl and can easily be blinded by petty gains.

What's more, she has already pledged her allegiance to Roland. While holding the priesthood, she has become Roland's vassal. She may be fighting for the interests of her lord.

He had to see Roland in person to determine the level of support.

Looking at the young viscount with a calm expression, the Patriarch felt a little emotional.

There are many outstanding young people under his command, but there is no Roland.

Some of them have outstanding talents, some have firm beliefs, some are smart and capable, and some are smooth in dealing with things.But no one can combine sincerity and shamelessness so perfectly.

Invest early.

Yanis is right.

He smiled and said: "Roland, after you convert, you will be a believer of the goddess of light, and your territory will be the place of light protection. I will not sit back and watch the place of light protection be defiled by dirty goblins."

This was what Roland was waiting for. Without any hint from the Patriarch, he said readily:

"I can't make the decision for World Tree, but I believe that light will be closer to the origin of nature than darkness."

Seeing that Roland was informed and interested, Eugene felt a little better.

Although this is a transaction, he is a face-saving person after all, and his food and appearance must be elegant.

Not only did Roland know, he was also very cooperative. He was indeed a sensible young man.Why didn't such a young man come from the Holy Palace of Light?

Although he was a little sad, Eugene was still a little lucky.

At least one step earlier than the Dark Temple.

He stood up and said loudly: "Since you are eager to convert, then follow me and pray to the goddess."

Chapter 100 The Disloyal Believer and the Perfunctory Goddess

After walking out of the temple, Roland looked around, looking for Yanis.

A soft voice came from behind, "The Patriarch didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Roland turned around and looked at Agnes. He felt that she was a little tired today and her mental state was average.

He had never guessed the girl's thoughts correctly, so he had no intention of guessing.If Agnis doesn’t tell her, then she won’t ask.

"No, the Patriarch is very kind. He not only recommended me to convert to the light, but also promised to help me."

Yanis looked at Roland in surprise and asked worriedly: "You didn't suffer a loss, did you?"

If the Patriarch were here, he would definitely be angry at what Yanis said.

Roland smiled and shook his head. Seeing that no one was around, he put down his soundproofing magic and briefly described the conversation in a low voice.

After listening to Roland's story, Yanis repeated the words of the Patriarch, "The Temple of Light is the light that the great goddess casts into the world."

Her eyes gradually softened and she murmured softly: "My choice will definitely make him sad."

Roland was afraid that Yanis would get into trouble, so he quickly comforted him and said, "Yanis, you underestimate the Patriarch. His situation is not that small. As long as your heart is bright, being loyal to the Holy Palace and becoming a secular lord are the same."

"Is it really the same?"

Yanis knew that Roland was comforting her, and also knew that Roland was afraid of losing her, so she chuckled:

"Don't worry, I never regret my choice, I just have some regrets."

"Come on, let's go home."

After saying this, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly added: "I'll take you home so that Melanies won't have to worry."

"My home is your home too."

Roland looked calm and said softly: "You have no contact with your previous family, and you don't plan to get married. As the lord, I have the obligation to take care of you. As long as you don't mind, my home is your home."

It turned out to be the case.

Yanis's clenched fists slowly unclenched.

Looking at Roland's clear eyes, she felt a little embarrassed. This time, she had guessed Roland without permission, which almost caused unnecessary misunderstandings.

Thinking about it, there are so many beautiful women around Roland, there is no need to stare at a certain Qingxiu priest.

Yanis, Yanis, please reflect on yourself, don’t think that you are all lustful people who can’t move after seeing beautiful women.

Roland is different from them.

Roland didn't know that his image in Yanis's heart was inexplicably higher. He was rejoicing at the Patriarch's generosity.

According to the Patriarch, as long as the World Tree is preserved, the Viscounty of Gracia will develop into a multi-racial super city with a population of over one million.

Thinking of attracting foreigners to believe in the light, the Patriarch couldn't help but feel happy.

He promised to send the First Army of the Knights of the Temple to participate in the defense battle, and would mobilize more elite troops if necessary.

This promise made Roland very happy.

The warriors of the Temple Knights have firm beliefs, strict discipline, and well-equipped equipment. Although the first army only has 3 people, it can fight better than the 10,000+ troops of the feudal lords.

The comprehensive combat effectiveness of this elite group exceeds that of Roland's rabble.

The Patriarch is really willing to spend his money.

Not only that, he also promised to send five high-level templar warriors to deal with the enemy's strong men.

If necessary, the Patriarch will even take action himself.

Roland knew that this was the highest level of support for a secular lord, and even the emperor might not have this kind of treatment.Facing this heavy super gift package, he was overjoyed but also a little worried.

How can I pay this back?

There was still a hint of regret in this deal, as the goddess of light did not respond much to his conversion.

By convention, converts personally introduced by the Patriarch can always trigger the Holy Light, and many times the goddess will sprinkle a little holy water to bless them.

Even giving him some holy water would be considered recognition.

But not this time.

Roland followed the procedure and expressed his loyalty to the goddess, but the goddess ignored him and just sprinkled some holy light symbolically.

Patriarch Eugene was a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who recommended it personally. Such an ending made him really lose face.

If it were anyone else, who was so sincere and slighted by the goddess, they would probably commit suicide on the spot in shame and anger to express their feelings.

But Roland is not an ordinary person.

Not only did he not feel ashamed at all, he even expressed his appreciation for the goddess's insight into the fire.

As expected of a goddess, she could see through at a glance how unsteady his faith was.

Although the goddess only gave the minimum blessing of holy light, at least she did not impose divine punishment. Roland could still shamelessly announce that the goddess accepted him.

His thick skin gave Patriarch Eugene a new understanding of him.

Roland and Agnes did not stay in the sanctuary and left in a hurry.

They didn't notice that at the junction of light and darkness, a pair of dark eyes were staring at them.

Feilin stared at Yanis' side face, trying to distinguish the true from the false.

Although she was shocked by what Yanis said just now, when she calmed down, she vaguely felt that something was not right.

The person who knows Yanis best may not be herself, but Feilin, her old enemy.

Because of her understanding, Feilin did not believe that Yanis would raise a night-type knight.

It's not that she believes that Yanis is determined to be a pure saint for the rest of her life, but that she doesn't believe that she will hide it.

If Agnes likes Roland, she will publicly announce that she will not become a pure saint and marry openly.

That's how she always does things.

There must be something wrong here.

Feilin was tortured by curiosity. Just as she was racking her brains to guess the relationship between Roland and Agnes, a familiar and somewhat terrifying voice sounded in her ears.

"Little Feilin, you seem to be in trouble?"
