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

These nobles usually only walk around with each other when they are neighbors. Now it is rare for everyone to get together. It is not to hurry up and socialize, lest they really go to the battlefield and be left aside.

The core of this kind of banquet is naturally yearning for victory and anxiety about cruel battles.

And Serena's unprecedented grand blessing is obviously an excellent talking point.

Everyone is discussing what the various visions in this blessing ceremony mean.

Since most of the local nobles are actually ignorant bumpkins, these guys soon got into disputes over various interpretations.

In order to resolve the doubts in their hearts, and to seek a good omen for future wars, the nobles turned their attention to the instigator of this incident, Serena.

With Serena's current status, she obviously doesn't need to care about most people's face.

But even so, there were still a few invitations, so she had to lower her figure to participate.

For example, she had to give a clear response to the invitation from the Granster family where her friends belonged.

Well, they have abducted the eldest lady of the family into bed. If you don't participate in it, it would be a bit unreasonable...

"Your intelligence is as compelling as your beauty."

What made Serena heave a sigh of relief was that the banquet was well-ordered, and it was obvious that a sufficient explanation had been given in advance.

Although the guests looked at her with longing, none of them dared to come to her side casually.

As the host, the Earl of Grant, Margaret's father, is not only an elegant and handsome uncle, he also speaks very nicely...

"You are overrated, my lord."

Serena returned the salute with a smile, and looked at the powerful local nobleman with a guilty conscience.

Unlike Earl Walpole, who was a quiet guy, Earl Grant was obviously an ambitious man who wanted to expand his family's sphere of influence.

The large investment he invested in Margaret was obviously aimed at cultivating Margaret into the next generation of chief saintess.

And Serena not only won the goal that the Granster family yearned for, but also swallowed the eldest lady Margaret. In this case, she was really curious about what the opposite party was thinking.

Earl Grant is also worthy of being an old fox who has mastered this family for many years.

Seeing Serena's attitude hesitated, he quickly figured out the other party's concerns.

Well, he has so many people around his daughter, so of course he knows the special relationship between the saint opposite and his daughter.

"I have absolutely no praise. In the past few months, I have been paying attention to your great achievements. I also know from the correspondence that my daughter has received from you."

While speaking, Earl Grant looked at Serena's expression, and saw that the saint was showing a little bit of uneasiness, so he continued to speak with a smile.

"I am very happy to see the friendship between you and Margaret that is more pure than gold, and I am also happy to see that you will develop hand in hand in the future. I believe that with a friend like you, even if Margaret cannot become the chief saint , and will surely become a pillar of the church in the future."

Serena breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the old fox's request was completely within her plan.

She is not a master who does not shy away from relatives. Since she intends to lie flat in the future, Margaret will naturally control some of the real power in the church.

After all, it's okay to let Margaret do something, ha... not bad, right?

Even though Margaret and Aurora seem to be somewhat at odds recently, Serena also believes that Aurora will definitely not hinder Margaret from occupying a place in the church's top management in the future.

After all, that serious little guy also recognized Margaret's ability.

"I'm glad to hear that you have such expectations for us. I believe that the future Granster family will also be a model of nobility recognized by the church."

After flattering and promising each other, the atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot.

Under the guidance of Earl Grant, Serena quickly understood which nobles were powerful factions capable of controlling the local people, and which nobles were silver pewter heads, which could be ignored.

Relying on the communicative skills that she had developed before, Serena passed the night easily and happily, and generally left a good impression on the nobles present at the meeting.

Of course she knew that this result was also part of the Granster family's intentional gesture.

The whole banquet today is actually an investment of the Granster family in Serena.

Backed by the Granster family, Serena will obviously be able to get twice the result with half the effort when working in the western region of Marconia in the future.

To be honest, Serena was even a bit regretful that in her previous life she hadn't been able to win over a subordinate like Earl Grant.

So capable and caring!

It doesn't take much effort, and things are done beautifully. The most important thing is that the two sides can reach a tacit understanding without talking too much nonsense.

She and Margaret didn't get acquainted so smoothly, okay?

However, she also knew that Earl Grant's favor was based entirely on the fact that she was the future chief saint.

Replace it with Demon Lord Serena, hehe...

And this gift is obviously not for nothing.

Near the end, Earl Grant appeared in front of Serena again.

"Your Excellency Serena, what is your understanding of war?"

Serena froze for a moment.

This question is a bit inexplicable, isn't it?

Seeing Serena like this, Earl Grant smiled slightly.

"Actually, we are about to go to the battlefield, and many young people may not know anything about the cruelty of war."

"I'm really worried about them. After they set foot on the battlefield, they became dazed and even devastated for various reasons."

"Perhaps, the church can have some unique ways of guiding and comforting this kind of thing?"

Serena immediately understood.

Earl Grant, as the leader of the nobles in the western region, seems to care a lot about the cultivation of young blood within his group.

He was worried that after those rookie nobles actually went to the battlefield, they would have psychological problems due to various blows.

And this kind of matter, logically speaking, should really be handed over to the church - isn't confession used to solve this kind of matter.

As for his meeting with Serena, he obviously hoped that Serena would be more supportive and arrange a high-end team to guarantee it.

Serena lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled.

"Of course, this is our duty, and I will raise this issue with my teacher."

Earl Grant nodded in satisfaction.

Very good, such an ally seems to be worth making friends...

Chapter 9 The Holy Maiden's Internship Course

"...The Holy Maiden disappeared in a whoosh, and when I looked again, she had already flown into the sky!"

In the carriage, a nun was vividly telling gossip about the blessing ceremony not long ago.

Most of the other nuns around were listening attentively.

However, some people have questioned these contents.

"Ha, don't believe everything. None of us belong to those convents who were transferred. She must be bragging!"

"What is bragging? I didn't go, but a friend of mine did. That's what she told me. If you don't believe me, you can ask people who have participated if you have the opportunity to see if what I said is true!"

In the corner, Phyllis dozed off, while secretly slandering Serena's boredom.

That's right, the one who was talking about the blessing ceremony and gossip there was the new and tender saint Serena herself in disguise.

And these nuns present were all recruited and sent to the front line under Serena's motion.

As for why it became like this...

Phyllis could only say that it was all caused by Serena herself.

Not long ago, Serena reached a deal with Earl Grant, agreeing to let the church provide additional support for the mixed troops of the nobles.

Originally, Serena felt that the church should not be unwilling to do this kind of thing, and it can shorten the relationship with the local area and train a group of qualified field priests, so why not do it!

Anyway, these nobles are only the second-line troops in the battle sequence, and the probability of facing life and death this time is not high. For such a good thing, the upper echelons of the church must have approved it with their eyes closed, right?

Then, with this thought in mind, she was rejected by her teacher first.

"What are you talking about? Our monastery in that direction, those with similar qualifications have already been incorporated into the legion sequence, how could they be added?"

This was Ingrid's first reaction.

This is completely different from Serena's knowledge - she knew it before when she presided over the blessing ceremony, and the nunnery's participation in this war is almost zero.

In fact, the nuns in general even participated in the blessing ceremony in high spirits, adding special effects to the ceremony under Serena's direction.

And the biggest reason for them to do this is that it is an honor to be able to contribute to the victory of the country.

After telling Ingrid about these situations, she suddenly discovered that the church's previous attitude in this regard was actually:

"War keeps women away."

That's right, the military cooperation between the Kingdom of Marconia and the Church of St. Gillian has lasted for more than 100 years.

Whether it is first aid on the battlefield or psychological comfort work such as the deathbed confession, they are all mature and have rules to follow.

But in all these respects, nuns have always been excluded.

Therefore, when the male priests have been transferred to the legion in large numbers to march with the soldiers, the nuns are still spectators in front of the war.

"Aren't we the church of the goddess St. Gillian? What's wrong with the women? Didn't the saints also appear in major battles in the history books many times?"

As for Serena's question, Ingrid explained that saintesses have at least mastered a certain degree of killing magic, and are generally regarded as extraordinary, not ordinary nuns.

Ordinary nuns have always been too fragile and vulnerable in the impression of the church's high-level officials, and they are not suitable for stepping into the battlefield.

And this is a consistent perception, even for Ingrid now, she thinks so.

If it was Margaret, the matter would probably stop here.

If it is Aurora, then she should embark on the journey by herself and fulfill her promise.

But Serena...

"This is wrong!"

Serena yelled in righteous indignation.

"Obligations and rights have always been equal. If the nuns do not make any contribution in such an important field, it means that the nuns are excluded from a large part of their rights."

"As the leaders of the nuns, we should break the world's stereotypes of women and let those ignorant and stubborn guys see the great power of nuns."

"I believe that what priests can do, nuns can do, and we can do better because of the gift of sex!"

"And after the nuns can also win honors on the battlefield, I also believe that the current church will never be like it is now. More than 20 bishops are all men!"

It’s okay for Serena to ask herself, and Ingrid, who is also a woman, should fully understand the significance of the delicate balance of power and responsibility to them saintesses.

Originally, even in Serena's previous life, women's participation in the war was directly related to women's rights.

If such a change can be brought about, the status of women in this world will inevitably rise.

As for the saintess, who is the representative of women, that benefits him even more.

Emotionally and rationally, Ingrid should help her make this happen!

Serena was right, Ingrid was really touched and went to talk to the Pope for several hours that day.

What's more, the Archbishop's Conference was facilitated at an extremely fast speed, and the proposal to allow nuns to participate in the auxiliary work of the battle was discussed and passed on a pilot basis.

But what Serena didn't expect was that this matter didn't end with Ingrid sending a nun order to Earl Grant.

Instead, things went round and round, and the blame fell on Serena herself.

"As the proposer of the matter, you should know the pros and cons of it the most."

When facing Serena again, Ingrid looked much more serious.

"I ask you to personally go to these nuns, relieve their worries, and use your power to protect them."

"I can send people out according to your request, but you must also promise me that you will do your best to bring them all home!"

To be honest, Serena didn't want to get involved in this matter.

It's rare that Margaret and Aurora are both in the capital now. Even though the atmosphere is quite delicate recently, isn't it good to play with girls in a comfortable environment?Why go to the front line to see the world is not worth it?

She just intends to promote a good thing that will honor the face of Earl Grant and benefit the church, why should she include herself in it?
