All the contract girls want to marry me

When the second envoy entered the city, the first envoy finally came out in embarrassment to report the situation to him.

Seeing the envoy returning, Archbishop Couchon asked with a gloomy face: "What do you think of that bastard Matthew? Does he intend to fight against the Holy See to the end?"

The messenger hesitated again and again and said helplessly: "Your Majesty Bishop, I haven't seen Matthew."

"Didn't see it?"

"Yes, I didn't see it. The servants in the castle said that Earl Matthew absorbed the holy water given by heaven and is currently meditating in seclusion."

Cauchon's expression froze.

He thought about Matthew's attitude, which could be humility or arrogance, pretending to be humble but arrogant at the heart, pretending to be arrogant but fearful at the heart, etc., but he never expected that Matthew was in seclusion.

This is a universal reason for magicians to refuse to see guests.

Even if you know it's an excuse, you can't expose it.

Most magicians like to be quiet. They often carry magic spring water and dry food and hide in secret rooms for long periods of meditation. This practice is commonly known as "retreat".

Meditation can be as short as three to five days, or as long as there is no upper limit.

Some people even stay in seclusion until they die and never come out again.

Archbishop Cochon's face was ashen, and he clenched his hands tightly, trying to control his anger.

He took a deep breath and asked softly: "He is practicing in seclusion, and things outside will not wait for him. Isn't there no one who makes the final decision on all matters in the territory?"

"Yes. During his absence, a three-person team composed of his maids Sistini, Surante, and contractor Shirley were responsible for decision-making, and Miss Diana was invited to be the supervisor."

"Diana? Are you talking about the [Justice] Diana?"

"is her."

Cauchon's expression was very complicated and he fell into a state of confusion.

What kind of decision-making team is this?

Two maids and a contractor, Shirley?It seems that he is the training target of [Angel Legion]?

None of this is important. The most important thing is, how could Diana be invited to become the overseer?

Couchon stroked his forehead, feeling a little headache.

He was all messed up.

Is this guy Matthew crazy?A lot of big things will definitely happen after the miracle comes. Hiding in seclusion is a smart choice, but what does it mean to let two maids make the decision?

Aren't maids just people who wash and cook during the day and sleep with them at night?

Cauchon felt that the entire Earl of Lundebel was filled with a strangeness. He could not understand it at all. This sense of out-of-control unreality made him pace back and forth anxiously, but it was still difficult to relieve his irritability.

After a long time, he finally made a decision.

"Find a way to contact Shirley and Deanna. They won't be in seclusion as well, right?"

"Your Excellency, they...are also in retreat."

Archbishop Couchon was stunned for three seconds, roared, grabbed the water glass on the table, and slammed it on the ground.

Damn it, this was definitely intentional.

Yes, they have just been baptized with holy water and need time to digest and consolidate.

But it’s outrageous that both of them are so busy.

Do you think you are the Pope who has everything to do?

Matthew, Diana, and Shirley all retreated to meditate. If Cauchon wanted to negotiate with someone, he could only find a maid.

Surante, the maid and rotating secretary-general, did not retreat, but the humiliation made him extremely angry when he thought that his dignified archbishop had to negotiate with a maid.

He tried hard to adjust his emotions, and it took a long time before he gradually relaxed.

He said in an unquestionable tone: "Go for another run and ask Surante to come out to greet me!"

The messenger quickly disappeared into the distance.

He knew Archbishop Cochon was angry.

Archbishop Cochon left Lundebell as an ordinary bishop, about the rank of a count.

When he returned to Rundberg, he had been promoted two ranks in just three years. He was now a cardinal qualified to inherit the papal throne, slightly higher than the duke and half a rank lower than the king.

Given his status, it was already a very low status for him to take the initiative to meet Matthew, let alone meet Matthew's maid.

Although he was angry, his request was not excessive.

A mere maid, isn't her status just that of a commoner?

If she is a maid who has signed a contract of prostitution, she is not even a commoner, she is just a slave.

For a dignified cardinal to negotiate with a slave on an equal footing was a disgrace to the Holy See.

He didn't believe that a mere maid would dare to be rude to him.

He had to make these arrogant guys pay.

Two hours later, the messenger came back rolling and crawling.

Seeing the embarrassed expression of the envoy, Ke Xiong's heart sank.Can't handle this little thing?What's the use of you!

Under his murderous gaze, the messenger said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, Surante said..."

"what did she say!"

Cauchon was really angry this time. He chewed every word and asked angrily.

"She said you can see her if you want, but you have to make an appointment."

After saying this, the messenger fainted.

He knew that Couchon would definitely go on a rampage, and if he didn't faint, he would probably be beaten unconscious.

Sure enough, the moment he fainted, he saw Cochon tearing the tent apart like a furious lion.

Obviously, the Cardinal is really angry.

Chapter 019 A Soldier Before a Ceremony

Rundebell Castle, top floor.

This five-story castle is condescending and has a wide field of vision. You can see dozens of kilometers away with a telescope.

Matthew looked at the [Holy Holy See] team setting up camp not far outside the city, and saw that the bishop's tent was suddenly torn into pieces, with an angry and embarrassed cardinal standing in the middle, and he couldn't help laughing.

He handed the telescope in his hand to Surante, who was standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Surant, look, does that guy in the bishop's robe look like a dog?"

Surante took the telescope and brought it close to his eyes.

She has long been accustomed to Matthew's various magical inventions.She has also used the telescope. People seven or eight miles away can see clearly. It is really a good thing.

Seeing Archbishop Cauchon's angry expression, Surante sighed in his heart.

The bad breath in Lord Matthew's chest has indeed come out, but how to deal with the aftermath is a big problem.

She slowly put down the telescope, lightly combed her hair, and thought about how to formulate her words.

Her eyes are red and blue, her long flaxen hair is tied up in a bun, and she wears gold-rimmed glasses, which makes her look quite intellectual.

It is said that she is the daughter of a certain great scholar. She received a good education since she was a child. However, because of her family's financial difficulties and the untimely death of her parents, she was forced to sell herself to Matthew and become a maid.

Matthew took a fancy to her potential and accepted her as a contractor.

But in Surante's eyes at the time, Matthew was mostly attracted by her appearance.

Although Matthew repeatedly stated that he would not use her as a maid, she stubbornly believed that she was a maid.

Matthew had no choice but to respect her choice, but in addition to the maid, he also appointed her as the secretary of the library based on her abilities and preferences.

The Lundebel family owned not much else but a large collection of books.

The number of books collected here is no less than that of the Royal Library in the imperial capital.

Being the librarian is a paradise for Surante.

She loves reading so much that her practice progress is slightly delayed, which troubles Matthew a lot.

Surante's potential is not bad.Although her paper data is blue level, her actual weight-bearing value is 5.99.

In the more than two years since signing the contract, she has shown progress beyond her potential.

This is why Matthew never interferes with her.

In just two and a half years, she went from a weak girl who knew nothing to a level 6 summoning warlock.

She can summon various creatures, spirits and even mechanical beings to help her fight.

Her fighting ability is very strong, one person is an army.

There are seven members in the maid group, and she is the only one who can occasionally take advantage of Sistine.

Although she has blue potential, her actual performance is purple level.

According to Matthew's observation, she should be able to awaken in a short time.

Awakening from blue level to purple weight-bearing level.

According to the information Matthew obtained from the system, the probability of a blue loader breaking through to purple is very low.

The seven maids that Matthew had collected before had different potentials, and Sistine was the top among the purple ones, almost equivalent to the gold level.

Surante's potential is pretty good, but his personality is a bit Buddhist.

But after the miracle came, the maid who always liked to spend time in the library suddenly became very active and practiced cultivation much more seriously than before.

Although I don't know what she is going through in her heart, it is a good thing that she is willing to speak out.

Seven maids, Surante is a very special existence.

Unlike other maids who wanted to throw Matthew down and eat him, Surante was always aloof from Matthew.

She doesn't take the initiative to post.

But if Matthew needed it, she would accept it calmly.

In addition, Surante has a very good mind and has made many suggestions for Matthew's territory construction. He is considered a strategist-type talent.

Concluding a soul contract consumes Matthew's mental power, so there is an upper limit on the number of contractors.

According to Matthew's current mental strength level, he can sign 6 blue contractors, 3 purple contractors, 2 gold contractors and 1 orange contractor.

Now that the blue quota is full, Matthew does not plan to sign any more blue weaklings in the future. He will only keep the existing maids.

Matthew is a nostalgic person. If the maid who has signed a contract wants to renew the contract after the expiration of the contract, he will gladly accept it.

The Orange Contractor's spot is reserved for Diana.

No one deserves this spot more than she does.

Currently, only Shirley is in the gold level. If Sistini breaks through, there will be a spot.

Now if we want to improve significantly, we can only hope to sign Diana and have Surante and Sistini break through as soon as possible.

To sum up, Surante's status in his heart was extraordinary, and he chose to let her serve as secretary-general during Sistini's retreat, which was also out of comprehensive considerations.

Surante looked at Matthew's amused expression, sighed softly, and reminded softly:

"Master, I have to correct your fallacy. Cochon is not a bishop, but a cardinal archbishop who is qualified to run for the Pope. Now that you have successfully angered him, is there any benefit in doing so?"

"No."

Matthew answered sincerely.

Surante was stunned on the spot: "..."

Matthew's unconventional answer gave her a hard time.

According to her script, Matthew would be stubborn and she would be able to speak out.

As Matthew's maid, she couldn't just watch Matthew do whatever he wanted.

However, Matthew generously admitted that there was no benefit in doing so, and she didn't know how to answer the question.

Matthew pointed to the table opposite and motioned for Surante to sit down.

Surante hesitated, Matthew knocked on the table and said: "You are the secretary-general now, sit down and talk."
