A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Of course, after that, other bigwigs have to be bewitched to join the ranks to share the risk.Don't believe in the Church of the Sun?I brought the Flame Knight to preach, how can there be no reason to wash away the faith?

The facts will definitely not be as exaggerated as Cloris imagined, but she must do her best to obey the destiny, and before that, she must show her face in the Church of the Sun and take an advantage.

Church school.

Even though the skin is almost carbonized, as the owner of the [Scorching Sun] spirit vein, Maxi has the tenacious vitality and the characteristics of partial fire regeneration, so after 24 hours of comprehensive healing day and night, the newborn, reddened The skin has grown.

However, only he himself knows how weak the inside is.After reviewing the game, Maxi understood that Moxiu easily defeated him with the help of sufficient preparation and great willpower. It was inevitable that Ruanxiang paralyzed his will. I will never leave Beicheng again.

Although the Radiance Tower has not yet been built, several supporting mage towers have already been pulled up. After the project is completed, these mage towers will naturally become part of the spectacle.

The church school is within the protection of the mage tower, here, even if Moxiu came in person, he would not be as embarrassed as last time.

Of course, the matter of Maxi's serious injury was concealed, and the failure of the cult's conspiracy was worthy of a special mention. After this incident, Luentia also realized the threat of the Grace House and began to cooperate in the missionary work.

Maxi walked in the courtyard with an old and vicissitudes of life priest, and said: "In terms of preaching, you must eliminate the influence of the cult's beliefs at the bottom as soon as possible. If everyone believes in my holy religion, those cultists who hide their heads and tails should have been easily punished." captured!"

The priest agreed with all his mouth, "That is what it should be."

Maxi said again: "If this is done well, I will appoint you as the Chief Priest of Zuixiang, and then report your merits to the upper realm, and arrange a priesthood of the same rank for you in the upper realm, and you should return to your hometown in good clothes."

The priest said flatly, "Robert would like to thank the bishop for his support."

"..."

Maxi is also helpless to Robert.

A priest is a priest, responsible for the affairs of a parish. In a backward and remote place like the city that never sleeps, the power of a priest is second only to him, the regional bishop, so it can be said the same.

20 years ago, there were still several churches and priests in the city that never sleeps, carrying out the missionary work in a hurry. However, there was an assassination activity against the clergy by Uenos, and those who wanted to do something with great fanfare were in Luentia. On the other hand, the other priests all adhered to the idea of ​​getting a ticket and fleeing, saving enough money to clear up relationships, and spending money to go to the Upper Realm or other wealthy colonial areas to be unrestrained. Therefore, three years ago, After one of the priests was honored to be promoted, only Robert remained.

You say he is not, this guy has not been corrupted for 20 years, has no beauty at all, he is like a high-spirited stone man, such an "upright" guy is usually easy to be brought down by his colleagues, but the problem is that However, Robert is not a "righteous" person.

You say he is, this guy is passive and sabotage. He has been working for 20 years without paying attention to world affairs.

Maxi could only judge that Robert didn't want to be promoted to the upper realm at all.He checked the pastor's resume. He is 82 years old this year. Half of his foot has been buried in the ground. The [Sun Worm] spirit vein has four skills embedded in it. He was not left out in the deep world because of suppression, nor did he commit any crimes. 27 years ago, he participated in the Great Purification of the Lower Realm, and never returned to his hometown. After being transferred to the City of Everlasting 20 years ago, he has been fishing until today.

Even Uenos didn't bother to deal with this kind of guy who obviously wanted to wait for death in the city that never sleeps, and Maxi really couldn't do anything to him.

If Robert is really suppressed, he will have no other priests who are familiar with the affairs of the city that never sleeps.

Regarding Robert's perfunctory, Maxi could only ask patiently: "The real main force of the Grace House escaped through the secret passage. Luentia, the white-eyed wolf, clearly knew about this, but did not notify in advance. What do you think about this?"

"The Court of Mercy has a lot of things against Luntia. It contains important secrets of the Duke's Mansion, and it will give us another reason to target him. Luntia wants to resolve this grievance by himself."

"You already knew about this?"

"It's well known that Luentia's embezzlement of funds for the Miracle Spectacle, the nobles and dignitaries in the city that never sleeps are all beneficiaries. This is no secret at all."

"Then why didn't you report this matter!"

"Your Excellency, this is not a secret to some of the big men above."

Maxi was speechless.

Even if he is self-confident, he still has the idea of ​​earning a vote after coming to the city that never sleeps. The attitude of other colleagues can be imagined.At this moment, Maxi really regrets taking over this matter. This is the same as the stock market of the Holy Manro Empire before the war. It seemed to be thriving, and he wanted to make a fortune in the war. In the end, he copied the position at a fucking high position and was directly smashed by the Farnese!

Only a few high-level people including Maxi know the horror of Moxiu, and the fact that the main force of the Charity Academy has not been eliminated, and hidden dangers will continue to exist.

There are too many black spots in the project of the Radiance Tower, and some people may expect it to collapse, and then everything can be blamed on the cult, and at the same time, let Maxi take the blame!

This is the place where Maxi's whole body is chilled. It's okay for foreign enemies to say, if there is an inner ghost to trick him, or... Luentia's death is broken?

Maxi sighed: "I understand, Luentia's matter, as long as he fully cooperates with the Holy Church, I will no longer pursue everything in the past."

"Your Excellency," Robert asked suddenly, "do you think the Tower of Radiance has a future?"

These words hardened Maxi's heart, and his face became more majestic: "At least during my tenure, the project will be carried out steadily."

"Then tell Luntia that the Holy Church is willing to make a public oath and exchange the Radiance Tower for the right to preach."

"It's not something I can decide..." Maxi shook his head lightly, "Besides, it's too late to do this kind of thing now?"

20 years ago was the most grand time of the Great Purification, heresy and evil were wiped out under the scorching sun, and the colonization of the Holy Manro Empire was expanding rapidly, which made Luentia dare not look up.

At that time, although he promised Luntia the qualification to contract the spectacle, it was only a verbal drawing by the big shots at the time.

"Yesterday's arrogance is the cause of today's disaster, since that's the case..." Robert smiled indifferently, "Then look at these young people, they are the future."

Maxi is also in his 70s, but his lifespan has been slightly extended by the improvement of his realm, making him look like a middle-aged man.Maybe that's why he can't be as transparent as the old Robert. Vanity Fair is still Maxi's lifelong pursuit.

Sun Bishop echoed with a bitter smile: "What can young people in backward places do? No matter how pious and capable they are, it will be difficult for them to be promoted to the position of bishop. , dedicated to education.”

Robert didn't respond. His pace was slow, not senile, but not tough either.After all, the environment in the Deep Realm is harsh, if he is moved to the Upper Realm to take good care of him, he can at least live a long life.

It was noon, the school was illuminated by hot white lights, there was no noise, and the children came and went respectfully, dignified or demure.

This is also a characteristic of church schools. Students are taught to be respectful and courteous, and not to be too lively.

At this time, Maxi saw a cautious woman, a beautiful girl and a cheerful young girl sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

The young girl, he knew, was a little guy named Lindsay.Innate spiritual veins can only be regarded as average in the upper world, but in the city that never sleeps, it is already a proper talent.

Maxi's main eyes were on Cloris. He had seen countless graceful ladies, ladies and glamorous beauties in the banquets in the city that never sleeps, but none of them was as pure, soft, elegant and elegant as before.

"That is……?"

"I heard that it is Lindsay's sister and mother, and they have often visited her in recent days."

"why is that?"

"Lindsay's family has recently been involved in gang struggles, and her family has temporarily let the children live in church schools," Robert said flatly, "The little girl is called Cloris, the head of the new gang, and the school The fathers of several students were convicted and executed by her."

Robert has long been familiar with this kind of thing, at most he thinks that the girl is young and promising.As early as 20 years ago, many new stars of this level emerged in Shanggang, and finally fell into the sand and disappeared in the dust of history.

Robert did a brief review, and the result of the deduction is that the former members of the Indigull Club set up a rebellion and elected his grand-niece and granddaughter to lay the foundation for the future.This is not to think that the girl is a puppet. There are indications that the girl has unique skills and strength, so Jotun will retreat behind the scenes and help him wholeheartedly.

Robert doesn't have a good opinion of the leader of the gang, and he doesn't have a bad feeling. If there is something worthy of appreciation for Cloris, it must not be her beautiful beauty and cruel methods, but——

"Long live the sun..." Dressed in a white coat and a snow-colored top hat, Cloris, who is as dignified as a noble girl, stroked Lindsay's little head tenderly, "You didn't complain that my sister was a gift from the Lord to me, wait After the affairs at home have stabilized, my sister will pick you up. You have to listen to the teachers at school, remember what I told you?"

Peggy sat at the stone table and laughed nervously. Since Cloris killed the mercenary Selestan, she has been avoiding contact with this murderous god, but sometimes, why does she feel unspeakably familiar from this girl? Woolen cloth?

She had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to pierce the fragile window paper.

Whether it's true or not, she doesn't want to pretend to be smart and be disgusting.

Moreover, Peggy didn't know how many years she hadn't paid attention to Lindsay's growth. She found that she couldn't even understand her daughter's words.

Lindsay nodded heavily: "I understand, Sister Cloris! Ask yourself three questions every day! Only by following the Lord's teachings and purifying our own souls will we understand how to purify the filth in the world!"

Cloris smiled gratifiedly.

This child is clever, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is cunning.From using her weak status as a child to beg her to rescue her mother, and then drawing inferences about other cases to kill people with a knife, Lindsay's ability to understand and interpret is better than most people, even Walsh Kahler is ashamed of himself here.

The girl has insisted on visiting the school these days, and her devout image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"What are three provinces and three questions?" Maxi walked over and asked in a gentle voice.

He was indeed amazed by this deep-world girl, but just like his self-positioned "high-mindedness", he would not have lust for an immature girl. There is also a lot of restraint.

Cloris was taken aback, she almost pulled out the gun from her coat, the cold and rough handle was exposed from the skirt, seeing that it was a priest, she put away her gaffe.

Maxi saw it, and recalled what Robert said was the identity of the leader of the gang, and had a clearer understanding of the girl's reaction.

He immediately thought of the image of "rose with thorns", and felt that it was very appropriate.

Maxi asked gently: "Can you explain to me what you mean by asking three questions?"

Although Cloris was astonished, she still explained honestly: "I think this is the principle that we, as believers in the sun, should adhere to. We should reflect on it every day - whether we are loyal to the sun? Have you lost faith? Are you constantly reviewing the knowledge that the Lord has given us through the priests?” After Cloris finished speaking, she added, “In my opinion, believing in the Lord is not about praying to Him during worship and asking Him to give us something. What's the difference between a wandering slave and a lamb?"

Without any psychological burden, Cloris strongly denounced her theory of the lamb in the Grace House. She followed the will of the Church of the Sun and said: "Only by washing our own souls can we understand how to purify the filth in the world! To keep thinking, to understand the wisdom given to us by the Lord, and to take the initiative to illuminate the world is the duty of Sun believers!"

238. Pious Cloris

Generally speaking, neither the Church of the Sun nor the House of Mercy are so easily deceived.

When she was in the Grace Academy, apart from being allowed by Moxiu to preach, Shaqi had no chance to get in touch with secrets. Although she was given special care by Moxiu, she never entered the inner circle of the Grace Academy.

It was expected that the Sun Church would attack the Grace House, but Qifa did not expect the showdown to be so early.He had doubts about Sakima and Walsh Calle, but according to his personality, he suspected far more than these two people. It is impossible to know where the problem lies, and the chain reaction it caused is undoubtedly painful. hit.

Like a carriage that was precariously on the edge of a cliff, Cloris just happened to be standing there and pushed it insignificantly.

This is the same for Maxi. The Cloris in front of him is obviously a target that can be used. He will not let her participate in the key secrets of the Tower of Light, nor will she let her touch the core of the church and the Knights. What could be wrong?

From Cloris' "Three Reflections and Three Questions", Maxi understood that the girl in front of her had indeed studied the "Sun Bible".

The core teaching of the Church of the Sun is "purification of uncleanness", which is why the Great Purification has been carried out at intervals for more than two hundred years. However, the core teaching is always a short sentence, but there are thousands of interpretations. Crowe What Lisi said undoubtedly satisfies Maxi.

Only by washing your own soul can you understand how to purify the filth in the world.

These words are equivalent to increasing the weight of self-torture, rather than Yimei using Lieyang to transform others.

After the church split, the Holy See of the Sun became more radical, and Maxi did not dare to raise objections against the trend.However, Cloris's words can undoubtedly optimize part of the theory and stop the raging gears.

There are reformists within the Holy See of the Sun, and Maxi is certainly not one of them.He is a neutral person who has a milk or a mother, but this does not prevent him from admiring Cloris and having the idea of ​​using it.

If he wants to take root at the grassroots level, he needs these gangs. With a large number of believers, it is easy to find hidden cultists.

Maxi asked: "Where is your hometown, why did you become a Sun believer?"

Cloris looked at Priest Robert hesitantly, and the latter said indifferently, "This is the drunken regional bishop, Your Excellency Maxi."

"You are Maxi!" Cloris' eyes lit up, she crossed her fingers, folded her palms in front of her chest, and said with admiration and longing, "The devout and great Servant of the Sun who crushed the Cult of Grace!"

Calling the Servant of the Sun is not derogatory, but a high reputation.

One of the titles of the Holy See is "Servant of the Servants of God".

Mudlegs don't have the qualifications to be servants.

Maxi couldn't help himself, and nodded slightly with a smile on his face: "Tell me about yourself, you can make a lot of achievements at a young age, and your family background must be profound."

These words are spoofing the girl's background.

"I can't even talk about family background," Cloris bowed her head shyly in front of the idol, and said, "My family has been adventurers in the Chaos Sea for generations, and I go ashore from time to time to do some small business around the lost country. Quite famous. It’s a pity that when the Charity Cult captured my hometown, the cultists forced our family to convert, the men were sold to the city as slaves, and the women were captured into the devil’s den to serve the believers..."

This little girl is obviously more cunning than she looks on the surface. Maxi easily interpreted her words more profoundly: Cloris's family is pirates in the chaotic sea. The girl's family took control of a city-state around the Lost Kingdom. She was pampered, fair-skinned and beautiful since she was a child, and she also transplanted the spiritual veins related to "Doctor Shadow".

The bad thing is that the Mercy Cult is expanding wantonly in the lost country, slaughtering heretics, forcing conversions, and insulting women. There is a difference between cloud and mud.

Cloris was lucky enough to escape from the Devil’s Lair, and escaped disaster in a city controlled by the Explorers’ Guild under the shadow of her family. The Church of the Stars was open to religion. "This glorious and great existence has been reading the scriptures since then, and has never wavered. The deep world is a paradise for explorers, and there are many explorers from the upper world. Cloris also follows the adventurers in this process. Learned several languages.

In the end, when the girl was determined to see the real sun and shine brightly, she resolutely bought a ticket to sail upwards, and went to seek refuge with a former member of the Pirates with a family connection: Jotun Gripley.

This also explains why the girl was able to become the leader of the gang at a young age, and "cruelly" executed the fathers of several students; it also explained her somewhat pure accent and poor use of words-it must be some muddy leg of the empire Teach her the basics of the language.

Maxi knows that Cloris, who has been tempered by suffering, won't say everything perfectly, but as long as there is no deviation in general, what does it matter if there are some self-beautifying lies?

He just needs this kind of courageous, strategic, and powerful follower to do great things, not to mention——

She is religious.

This is not the Holy Cult of Mercy. In Maxi's eyes, the Grace House is not worthy of the word "holy".

"My lord," Cloris asked respectfully, "why doesn't the Holy Cult shine light on the commercial port? I didn't expect the Mercy Cult to extend its tentacles so far to Hurricane Island. Vicious apocryphal scriptures—this is what Lindsay told me later, otherwise I would have led the members to take over that bullshit cult without your help! In addition, they also wanted to control the commercial port through the Dilu family , it deserves death!"

Maxi was at a loss: "The Diru family?"

Robert reminded softly at the side: "One of the controllers of the commercial port is on a par with the Indigo Club and the Abam family. The former is the club whose president was assassinated as I mentioned to you, and the latter is the Duke's. Right arm and right arm."

Maxi understood immediately.

However, Cloris was filled with righteous indignation: "The Mercy evildoer sent killers to assassinate the president. If it weren't for the fact that Jotun and I had some skills, we would have been poisoned to death on the spot, but in the end we were framed!"

Robert thought about the information without changing his face. He thought that Jotun was a usurper, but Cloris's behavior made sense.

Maxi nodded again and again, and had a deep hatred for the Grace House. This is exactly the person he needs. It doesn't matter if such a person helps him preach, whether it is out of faith or self-interest.

It also happened to be able to get rid of Luntia's constraints to a certain extent. The Church of the Sun still kept the Chamber of Commerce from being eradicated in order to prevent Luntia's family from dominating.

It's a pity that the girl in front of him is a spiritual vein transplanter. From his strict point of view, she is a "disabled person" among extraordinary people. However, since the faith is so passionate, it is not impossible to take her to the drunken town for baptism in the future.

The Sun Church family has a great cause, and baptisms are divided into several levels. The baptisms of ordinary people are completely different from the blessings that he personally baptized for believers in the cathedral.

There is another factor in Maxi's trust in Cloris: Lindsay.

Sooner or later, the little guy will be the person who shapes the spiritual veins of the solar system, so it can be said that he is as close as a family.

Therefore, Maxi got straight to the point: "Cloris, if I want your helper to cooperate with the Holy Church preaching, what do you think?"

Cloris was ecstatic: "This is the Gospel of those common people! I am doing this. After I annexed the rebellion, I established a 'Gospel Correctional Institute', which is to prepare for the Holy Church's evangelism! You don't need to say, I will also Do everything we can!"

Look, what is a believer!

If Luentia had one-tenth of Cloris's piety, instead of always thinking about "making troubles" and "asking for something in return", and being the Duke of Anle comfortably, how could there be so many messes?
