The target is a goddess!Sacred Path of the Scrap Succubus

"The common people are willing to believe the priest's words, so I let the priests and nuns go door-to-door to persuade. Thanks to St. Gillian, our work has achieved good results."

"But to organize such an operation, your manpower alone is far from enough?"

"That's right."

Serena nodded and continued talking.

"I mixed priests and nuns and soldiers. About a tithe of each."

"In this way, we first let the soldiers understand what they need to do, and then use the soldiers to control and influence some people—including their families."

"After that, we have enough power to influence people throughout the city."

This part is also true, so Serena is not afraid of Tempus to investigate.

However, Tempus's reaction is quite interesting.

From his micro-expression, Serena sensed that the king was first amused, and then excited - probably thought of some good idea, but finally became uneasy.

Serena thought for a while, maybe this guy is still a little worried about the church infiltrating into the army because of this.

However, it was still the honeymoon period for the kingdom and the church, so Tempus' anxiety didn't last long.

"Thank you, Goddess St. Gillian, for allowing you and Andy to appear in key places at critical moments."

After the question, Tempus nodded and made a concluding speech with high approval.

"Your achievements are far more remarkable than you imagined—it is precisely because you have achieved something that is almost impossible that the cowards of the Secret Alliance were afraid and stopped further actions."

"The entire southern border will remember your honors."

Serena pouted inwardly.

That's great, anyway, the southern border basically has nothing to do with the king, that is to say, the king doesn't have to remember this, right?

Just when Serena felt that today's conversation was almost over, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on Tempus's face.

He pulled a folder from the pile of papers beside him and handed it to Serena.

"Thank you for being able to chat with me for so long today. In return, I suggest you take a look at this."

Chapter 2 Phyllis' Choice

"Phyllis, my daughter, you seem to have changed a lot."

Viscount Lemes looked at his daughter with curiosity and expressed such emotion.

Phyllis hesitated to speak.

Yeah, she did change a lot.

When she was in the capital last time, she was still a naive girl, thinking that through hard work, she could be appreciated by His Majesty the King and make her father proud of herself.

But now, just a few months later, she is completely different.

Physically, she didn't change much at first glance, but the calluses on her hands and feet and the scars in her secret place recorded too much pain and helplessness;

Spiritually, she has shed the youthfulness of a girl, and acquired a brand-new temperament mixed with delicacy and sophistication.

Along the way, she experienced too many things that girls of her age would never experience, and all of these, good or bad, eventually created a completely different Phyllis.

These thoughts flashed through Phyllis's mind, and in the end, she just shook her head with a smile.

"I haven't changed anything. I'm still your daughter. Change, maybe it's your state of mind."

this is a lie

Phyllis didn't want to lie to her father, but if she told the truth, she could basically foresee how her father would kill his relatives righteously with grief and indignation.

Oh yes, it was impossible for her to tell the truth.

After thinking of this, Phyllis found herself inexplicably relieved.

"Is that so?"

Viscount Lemes shook his head with a smile, apparently not taking his daughter's words seriously.

"In any case, your mission was completed very well. Yes, very well, this is His Majesty the King's own evaluation."

"The only regret is that I can't tell anyone other than Your Majesty about your achievements. Goddess, this really makes me suffer."

"Hey, it would be great if Nidia was still alive. She must know how to share this happiness. It would be even better."

When Phyllis heard her mother's name, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

This poor woman thought she had found a good husband, but she didn't expect to die in depression in the end.

Viscount Lemes might be a good courtier, but he was never a good husband.

And, looking back now, Phyllis finally saw clearly that he was not a good father either.

He gave his all to the king and didn't care what anyone else thought.

Moreover, Phyllis, a completely ignorant child, was also brought to the fire pit of the copper pipe house.

"You know, Phyllis?"

Viscount Lemes didn't know what his daughter was thinking.

With great excitement, he continued talking.

"His Majesty has promised a favor. He told me that he will give you a bright future."

"Do you know what that means?"

Phyllis lowered her eyes and replied:

"I do not know."

Yes, she doesn't know.Does she have any future?

She is just a controlled puppet now, she can move as Serena tells her to do.

The future...doesn't exist?

"This means that you have the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family. Yes, not a court noble like us, but a real noble who has a fief and has been passed down for more than ten generations, at least the earl family!"

Obviously, although he is quite proud of his status as a court nobleman, in his heart, Viscount Lemes still understands that the title of nobility without land is vain after all.

The king gives everything, and the king can take everything back.

An aristocrat without his own roots is always a mere ornament.

Even if the eyes are bright and beautiful, they may be abandoned or replaced at any time.

Moreover, there are still a lot of queues behind.

Viscount Lemes has no son, Phyllis is his only future support.

If the daughter can marry into this kind of family, it means that the Viscount himself can also have peace of mind.

However, he heard such a reply.

"I don't need that kind of thing at all."

Phyllis really felt that there was no need.

Marriage or something... She is already in such a mess, it's better not to make trouble for herself.

However, when she saw her father's astonishment mixed with anger, she hurriedly changed her words.

"Father, we are all serving His Majesty the King, so asking for rewards prematurely may not be a blessing."

Only then did Viscount Lemes turn his anger into joy.

"Yes, yes, you really have grown up, Phyllis."

The viscount thought of something and started talking to himself.

"His Majesty the King may also be observing our reaction. If we take credit for it, we may be excluded from the inner circle after receiving this reward."

"And if we remain humble and restrained, then this kind of reward, might as well be upgraded a few more levels."

"Phyllis, you're right. We shouldn't be too anxious. You're still young anyway, so you shouldn't be in a hurry."

Having said that, the Viscount looked at his daughter curiously again.

"Then what are you going to do next? Although I don't suggest you go back to the mundane world right now, maybe..."

"Of course I still want to follow Your Excellency Serena."

Phyllis replied lightly.

"Your Excellency Serena's ability is obvious to all, and her future is bound to be extremely bright."

"A character like me can get more practical benefits by following her."

"Think about it, what is a viscount's daughter worth in a king's capital? But a saint's right-hand man can decide a person's life or death in a local place."

"exactly!"

Viscount Lemes was even happier.

He walked up to his daughter and touched her head affectionately.

"Phyllis, your idea is very good. In the future, Her Excellency Serena may become the chief saint—that is the real power second only to the Pope, and even His Majesty must be courteous."

"Even if Your Excellency Serena loses the competition, with her ability and His Majesty's recognition of her, she will certainly be able to become a bridge between the church and the king."

"Even if she is tired of the poor life of the church and decides to enter the royal capital's social circle, it must be the leader of the salon who has countless fans!"

"That's right, follow Your Excellency Serena, follow her, you will definitely be able to make a fortune!"

Phyllis looked up at her father, feeling nothing but sadness in her heart.

The value of her life is nothing more than that...

On the contrary, Serena, has she reached this point from a country girl who was not favored by others?

But after thinking about Serena's true face, Phyllis quickly regained her balance.

Succubus, that's not a common thing.

No matter what era, as long as there are some rumors about this kind of creature, it must be accompanied by power and conspiracy.

And a succubus with an extremely outstanding brain and amazing fighting power, after becoming a saint of the church, is it not natural for it to prosper so much?

"By the way, Phyllis, there's something I might have to tell you a little bit."

"Serina, I'm afraid she's not a real country girl, her surname should be Willard."

"Villard...Villard?"

"Is that Willard?"

After seeing her father's affirmative response, for some reason, Phyllis felt serious anxiety in her heart.

'That's that Willard... Serena, can she handle it? '

Chapter 3 Serena's Investigation Plan

"This is really...too much!"

Elaine pressed the information in her hand hard on the table, and shouted angrily.

These materials are exactly the investigation records of the Willard family being ambushed and slaughtered that Serena brought back from Tempus.

"How can these nobles do this? It's just that they don't agree with each other. Why do they want to kill the whole family, even the servants who stayed in the old house?"

It's just that after she finished shouting out venting, she was surprised to find that the other people in the room didn't seem to have any fluctuations in this.

Even Serena, the person involved, seemed indifferent.

"Well, don't you think this is too much?"

Elaine asked carefully.

"Well, isn't this kind of thing a nobleman would do? It's not surprising, is it, Phyllis?"

Seeing Serena asking herself, Phyllis could only nod her head in confirmation.

As a spy of the Copper Tube House, she has indeed learned about the history of some conspiracies and battles among the nobles, and there are many vicious incidents with many casualties.
