All the contract girls want to marry me

As long as your eyes are not blind and your heart has not been eaten by dogs, you will come to this conclusion.

Surante turned to Diana and asked her opinion.

This is her real purpose.

Lord Matthew dotes on Diana too much.

In Surante's view, no matter what contract Diana and Matthew signed, they were the contracting parties. Even if it was an absolutely equal cooperation contract, it must be led by Matthew.

Matthew is soft-hearted and would rather give in than let the female knight suffer. This is Matthew's tenderness.

But this kind of tenderness must have limits. Matthew was embarrassed to limit it, so he just let her do it.

Faced with Surante's questioning gaze, Diana had no choice but to express her stance, "The Earldom of Rundebell is the best-governed Earldom I have ever seen."

[The just one] cannot lie.

Diana just doesn't want to express her position, but she won't talk nonsense.

Surante was very satisfied with her attitude.

Although Diana's first allegiance is to the Lord of Light, she will not violate her principles.

In Surante's view, serving Matthew is being loyal to the Lord of Light.

Could it be that the Knights of Walder and the Holy See are more orthodox than Matthew?

If the Lord of Holy Light is very satisfied with what the gang of magicians in the Imperial Capital have done, why not sprinkle the holy water in the Imperial Capital, but go around in a big circle and sprinkle it in the countryside like Rundebell?

These reasons are very simple, but people are used to the Holy See representing the Lord of Holy Light, so they don't want to think too much about it.

Matthew wanted to gradually change Diana through subtle influence, but Surante was not so patient.

All her patience was given to Matthew and the little sisters who lived and ate together. Unless Diana was willing to join in, don't even think about it.She is now forcing Diana to take a stand.

Deanna gave a fair answer, but still kept her guard up.

The implicit meaning of the phrase "governing the best earldom" is very clear. Matthew can manage the earldom well because it is a small place.

Being able to govern a county does not necessarily mean that you can govern a province; being able to govern a province well does not necessarily mean that you can govern an empire well.

Can Lundebel’s miracle be replicated across the country?

It's hard.

Chapter 051 Very good story

It was indeed difficult, Surante never denied it.

Lundebel's miracle consumed a huge amount of materials and manpower, making it difficult to replicate.

But this undoubtedly represents an advanced direction.

Don’t you do it because it’s difficult?

Just give up because it’s difficult?

Surante stared at Diana and said calmly: "Miss Diana, I have heard a story. There was a young knight who had just graduated from the Knight Academy and went on a patrol mission for the first time. Unexpectedly, he encountered a peak level six bear. .”

"The bear was wreaking havoc in the village. The adult villagers could not resist it. The elderly and children who could not run away were about to be killed by the bear. At this time, the young female knight held a lance in her hand and fought to the death with the bear."

"The female knight finally made a miraculous breakthrough in her near-death state, repelled the bear at the cost of serious injuries, and protected the village."

Surante's voice is as magnetic as a siren's. The story itself is not outstanding, but it becomes particularly beautiful after her voice narrates it.

This is Surante's area of ​​expertise, and her fighting profession is bard.

She is good at adding various buffs to her teammates on the battlefield, seducing enemies with her singing and making them lose their minds.

This kind of temptation had no effect on the determined and female Diana. She simply did not use any combat skills and just used the bard's talent of telling stories.

Fortunately, this was a conference room, a place with a solemn atmosphere. She tried hard to restrain her desire to perform and did not open her arms to sing a moving aria.

But her performance is still wonderful.

After she finished telling her story, no one knew who started the story, and everyone applauded together.

There was only one person at the meeting who did not applaud, and that was Diana.

This is not because she deliberately contradicts everyone, but because the protagonist of the story Surante tells is her.

Surante praised her, so she couldn't applaud shamelessly.

What happened a few years ago seems like yesterday or a previous life.

Seeing Diana lost in thought, Surante asked softly with a smile on her lips: "Miss Diana, do you think the miracle created by this female knight deserves to be applauded?"

Diana didn't speak, she looked out the window.

She saw farmers working in the fields, businessmen driving mule carts to the city, and teachers taking their children out for an outing.

What a land full of life.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Yes, this is a miracle, a living miracle before your eyes.

When she faced the giant bear alone, had she ever thought about so many successes and failures?Of course not, she only had one idea at the time, to protect the villagers behind her from harm.

As for whether she would be beaten to death by a giant bear, she didn't have much time to think about it.

If everything we do is measured by profit in advance, the world will lose too many wonderful heroic stories.

Although several years have passed, Deanna will never forget the battle she faced alone against the giant bear.

After all, that was her first battle after graduating from the Knight Academy.

That battle earned her reputation, achieved a breakthrough, and was gifted by the Lord of Holy Light, giving her the ability to be reborn.

Surante did not preach to Diana, nor did he try to persuade, nor did he hold a Lundebel storytelling session.For adults who have basically constructed their worldview, this is a complete waste of time.

She told only one story, Diana's own story.

[Justice] Diana, do you still remember your original intention?

of course I remember.

Diana looked away, and the trace of confusion completely disappeared.

She saw the magic ring on her ring finger from the corner of her eye, and there was a smile on her lips.

Even though it was just an empty contract, even though she had no intention of adding more terms to the contract, the contract was still a contract.

The soul contract made the distance between her and Matthew much smaller than before.

The holy light shines on the world not to classify human beings, but to let everyone bathe in light.

Who said this?

By the way, this is the famous saying of Mr. Sistine, the first pope of the Holy See.

At that time, the head of the Holy See was not yet called the Pope, and there was no triple crown on his head. Mr. Sistine wore a coarse cloth robe and walked among ordinary people.

There was a little more smile on Diana's lips.

Although Matthew is an out-and-out vampire and is not qualified to compare with the selfless Sistine in terms of personal morality, which he himself will not deny, he has brought prosperity to the territory.

As much as he hates to admit it, this vampire is in many ways better than even the great Sistine Pope.

Maybe vampires don't like shriveled guys, so Matthew kept his territory very fat.

Literally fat.

The physiques of ordinary people in Lundebel are obviously wider than in other places. There are even many civilians in the city who are overweight, which is simply unimaginable in other places.

Diana knew that ordinary people did not care about the personal ethics of their leaders.

Who is more popular, a model of virtue who cannot manage territory or a leader who has a flexible moral bottom line but can lead everyone to live a good life?

The answer to this question is obvious.

Faced with Surante's persuasive words, Diana's expression did not change at all, and her voice was a little cold.

"The reason why miracles are called miracles is because they are difficult to replicate. People who are willing to pay everything for miracles are probably fools."

Just when Surant thought Diana refused, the female knight's voice suddenly rose a little.

"Unfortunately, I'm such a fool."

"Thank you, Surante. It's a beautiful story."

Nonsense, of course it is beautiful. The protagonist of this story is yourself!

Surante complained silently in his heart, and a smile finally appeared on Gujing Bubo's face.Her and Diana's eyes met in the air, and they understood each other's thoughts without the need for more words.

Deanna made her choice.

She does not recognize all of Matthew's actions and will not change her own standards of doing things, but she will stand firmly on Matthew's side in this crisis.

Of course, this was not done because of Matthew or the contract, but for the tens of millions of ordinary people in the two provinces.

Holy light is not a beautiful decoration, but the supreme power that heals the body and soul.

If it cannot do even this, the Holy See is not qualified to continue to be worshiped.

Some people understood the Riddler conversation between Surante and Diana, and some didn't, but even if they didn't understand, they could still see the smiles on Surante's handshake with Diana.

Phew, that's great, Miss Diana stayed.

Although Matthew is the sun in the hearts of Lundebel people, nationwide, he is definitely a notorious street rat that everyone calls and beats.

Diana is different. She has an excellent reputation and is simply the spokesperson of the Holy Light in the hearts of ordinary people.

Oh, not really, she is.

Miracles came to Lundebel, holy water bathed her body, and she was naturally the spokesperson of the Lord of Holy Light.

They were also showered with holy water. Everyone thought that Matthew was punished by God and Diana was gifted by God.

This is probably life.

Chapter 052 The bear is bigger than before

Matthew, who was using the Sky Eye system, sneezed suddenly.

Which grandson is scolding me behind my back?

Although he complained in his heart, Matthew didn't pay too much attention.When there are infinite enemies, naturally you won’t care too much about a specific enemy.Matthew's enemies cannot be said to be numerous, at least they are everywhere.

This is probably the fate of time travellers.

Matthew smiled to himself and continued to patrol the territory through his eyes.

His territory is not large, and his population is not large, but it is the most fertile land south of the Lund River.

If the population is sufficient and the underdeveloped land is utilized, it will be easy to feed 100 million people here.

The current emperor of the empire, the Himilun family, has a total territory population of almost 2000 million. Although most of this population is divided up by noble lords, large and small, and the utilization rate is not high, they still have more than 10 family private soldiers.

Matthew was thinking very far. Even if he could succeed in the election, he would still have to guard against counterattacks from other families.

At the beginning of the empire, various error correction mechanisms were established to prevent the electoral system from being exploited.

Among them is a mechanism similar to an honor duel.

Royal honor battle.

If an elector is dissatisfied with the qualifications and strength of the elected emperor, he can request an honor battle.

If the elected emperor does not dare to fight, he will have to retire sadly.The honor battle is held at the designated location. Both sides dispatch armies of equal size to conduct a simulated battle. The lowest scale is a battle of 3 people, and the highest scale is 3 people versus [-] people.

This mechanism exists to prevent certain wastes from coming to power through illegal means and causing harm to the empire.

According to the theory of the founding emperor, the empire can tolerate bribery to come to power, but it cannot tolerate useless people coming to power through bribery.

Unfortunately, the Lundbell family is such trash.The territory is small, the financial resources are weak, the troops are insufficient, and they cannot even meet the minimum entry requirements for the Honor Battle.

This is also the reason why the family is not interested in running for emperor.

In history, there have been times when weak families came up through elections, and then were brutally judged by honor, and were beaten to the point of running away.

There are seven electors in name, but in fact, apart from the Himilen family, the only ones who can secure the position of emperor are the Hoffenhager family, which holds the crown of Krysia.

If Matthew is elected three years later, the two major families can question Matthew's ability and launch an honor battle.
