Looking at the playful smile on Elisa's childish-looking face, Chen Rui narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that he had underestimated this girl. It turned out that the "familiar" feeling of déjà vu was not that of Ai.
Leanne is not Alice, but... Celine.
Now he has touched the edge of the Church of Light. This institution that governs almost all human faiths is above the royal power. It is huge and extremely complex, and the internal factional struggles are particularly fierce. Thinking back, the Cardinal’s niece, Saint
How could a female disciple be a careless and innocent girl?
Not everyone is like a certain little princess who has a sister who protects her in everything; nor is every sister like Her Majesty the Queen who is willing to turn herself into an umbrella to completely cover her sister.
(although this approach is still questionable).
Chen Rui suddenly woke up. During the day, Elisa pointed out a series of his "origins" and "curiously" asked about the story of the language of the soul. It turned out that the real intention was to find out what he was.
It is not difficult to kill Eliza or Paul, but this is the human world, a mysterious world full of unknowns. Back then, Emperor White Night had broken his sword with hatred, especially now that saving Isabella is the top priority.
Before collecting all the faith crystals and getting the Snowdale Flower, you must not act rashly. Elisa is an important figure in the Church of Light, and dark power control techniques such as the God-Eating Mask will definitely not work. But for Chen Rui, Elisa
Sarah is just a small character like a passer-by, and the one who really needs to "intersect" is Paul.
Paul walked all the way back to his room, feeling really depressed. Elisa was actually right. He pursued Joanna more because of the Philip family behind her, but he also had some reasons for Joanna.
I have been thinking about it for a long time. I finally used Joanna's father to stimulate Samuel to fight and severely defeated her love rival. Who knew that Joanna was still infatuated with Samuel. She was true to him as the winner. This time she went to
Garden City, actually because he wanted to elope with Samuel! Eliza was right. No matter the outcome of the second duel, he would be the loser.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Paul opened the door, and it turned out to be the newly promoted candidate Light Knight "Richard".
"Richard? It's so late. What can you do?"
"Richard" showed a hesitant expression, and seemed to muster up the courage to say: "Sir Paul, I have something important to report. Can you let me go in to talk?"
Paul nodded and walked towards the room. Chen Rui looked around and closed the door cautiously. Then he came over and saluted: "Sir Paul, this matter... once made me hesitate. I thought about it for a long time, but I still
Decided to report to you."
"you say."
Chen Rui gritted his teeth and said: "After I separated from the adults at the World of Warcraft Market this afternoon, I took Miss Elisa and Joanna to the commercial district, but...Miss Elisa ordered me to take another route. That
On the way, Miss Joanna made an appointment with a mysterious man. The two seemed to have been talking for a long time. Judging from Miss Eliza's warning to me, this man seemed to have an unusual relationship with Miss Joanna..."
"Eliza's order?" Paul's face darkened: "What does that man look like?"
"The man was wearing a cloak, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were sharp. In terms of stature... he was shorter than an adult, and seemed a little thin."
"Huh!" A ray of gloom flashed across Paul's eyes. If "Richard" had informed Eliza before Elisa talked to him, Paul would have been furious. Now that he heard the news for the second time, he has calmed down a lot.
, judging from the information provided by "Richard", that man must be Samuel.
"Richard, didn't you say that Miss Eliza warned you? Why did you come here to tell me the news?"
Chen Rui took a deep breath: "Sir, do you still remember what happened during the day? Miss Eliza wanted to recommend me to go to the Bright Knight branch in Yangshao Capital to study with the Bright Knight Commander, Lord Luman, but I refused. My
The answer is, I don’t want to be a lifelong priest, but to become a follower of the Knights of the Temple and then take back with my own hands what is my own.”
Paul looked directly at Chen Rui and said calmly: "I am not a temple knight."
"Although it's not true now, it will be true soon! I believe in your potential and my own vision." Chen Rui raised his head and looked at Paul, "For this reason, I will risk everything and risk offending
Miss Eliza may be at risk of being silenced when she comes here... Now I boldly ask your Excellency, have I misjudged the person?"
Paul saw the strong self-confidence in Chen Rui's eyes. This self-confidence made him feel more comfortable than any flattery. The depression in his heart was also diluted a lot. He nodded slowly: "You are not wrong about the person, Richard.
This time, you made the right bet. You have vision, courage, and dare to fight in the duel. However, it is not easy to become my follower, especially since your origin is unknown..."
"To be honest with you, I am from a big family in a kingdom. I have sworn a vow that until I take back what belongs to me, I am just an ordinary wanderer. The only thing I can tell you is that my family is not only
I am powerful and have considerable financial resources. When I ran away from my family, I was prepared just in case..."
Chen Rui said, took out a bag and offered it with both hands: "Here is a bag of water sapphire, with a total value of about 50,000 black crystal coins, as my gift to you. If I can control the family in the future, then as your
Followers, I will receive protection and support from you, and I will continuously provide you with all the resources I can. This is a win-win relationship."
Paul took the bag and opened it. There were more than a dozen pure blue gems inside, which were definitely worth more than 50,000 black crystal coins. It was indeed a huge fortune. This Richard was indeed of extraordinary origin.
Paul put the gem away unceremoniously: "Very well, Richard, this may not be your real name, let's just call you that. I respect your oath and will not ask you about your true origin now until I become
Templar Knights and help you take back everything, I hope our win-win relationship can last forever."
This sentence already illustrates Paul's attitude. "Richard" is capable, courageous, good at seizing opportunities, and has financial resources. The mutually beneficial relationship of each getting what he needs is also reasonable. Such a follower must return the favor.
Those who rush outside the door are the real fools.
Chen Rui looked overjoyed, bowed deeply, told Paul about the contract he signed with Marner, and requested that he sign a master-slave contract with Paul after the contract was over. This confession allowed Paul to finally dispel his last doubt.
, after Chen Rui swore an oath of allegiance to the God of Light, he encouraged him a few words. Little did he know that this report was actually second-hand news deliberately leaked. As for the supreme God of Light who swore the oath, in a
When I was a child, I was "gnawed" by the attendant as a tonic.
"Sir, Miss Joanna's side..."
"The fact that you have become my follower should not be made public for the time being. Joanna, continue to watch and don't make any additional moves. Report anything to me in time." Paul thought for a while, "Also, be careful.
Lisa, she is much more difficult to deal with than you seem."
"Miss Elisa?" Chen Rui deliberately looked very surprised, and then nodded, "Understood, sir, I won't disturb your rest, so I will leave."
Early the next morning, Joanna proposed to leave Garden City and return to the Longhuang Empire. Her attitude was very firm. Judging from the expressions of Joanna and Paul, it seemed that they had a big quarrel.
Eliza's persuasion was ineffective, and Joanna insisted not to be escorted by Paul, so she had to let two light knights protect Joanna as she went south to Vegas Town and went to the Red Dragon City of the Dragon Glory Empire by water. Red Dragon City is a port city, and the city owner Si
Steven Philip is Joanna's uncle.
Chen Rui didn't know if Joanna and Samuel had agreed to leave early. In any case, it was a good thing for Joanna to leave Eliza, a scheming "friend".
For a time, Paul became the most embarrassed person. He was not in the mood to follow Chen Rui and Eliza on the street anymore, so he locked himself in the room and sulked.
Elisa seemed a little sad about the departure of her friend before, but soon she devoted herself to the fun of shopping. Sometimes she would ask Chen Rui some strange questions on a whim. Chen Rui already knew the girl's identity.
In reality, most of those questions were circumstantial tests, and it was obvious that Elisa had some interest (or suspicion) in him as a candidate knight.
The day passed in the blink of an eye. Eliza bought a lot of things, most of which were purchased by Chen Rui. Naturally, she would be reimbursed when she went back.
There are countless believers in the Guangming Church, and their wealth is naturally endless. There is a saying in Chen Rui's hometown, three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Even in a small place like Gudan Town, Fat Mana can become an extremely rich man.
Not to mention Solandon, which has been operating in Garden City for many years. Moreover, this trip was inspected by the superiors (actually it was a trip), and all expenses were paid from public funds, so there was no need for private subsidies.
In the evening, Elisa, Solandon, Mana and others went to Piaoxiang Manor in the south of the city. Tonight, the fat city lord Kraut invited Elisa, the church and others, and also talked about the last candidate incident.
The meaning of apology.
Chen Rui was also invited, but Paul, who was in a bad mood, didn't go.
The fat city lord, along with Lord Walli and others, personally welcomed Eliza and others into the manor at the gate.
Piaoxiang Manor is one of the most famous consumption places in Garden City. It covers a large area. One of the partners behind it is actually the Fatty City Lord. The business is very prosperous. The private rooms often need to be reserved. Of course, the relationship with the City Lord accounts for a lot of households.
Quite a portion.
Just when the group of people walked into a corridor, a group of drunken guests walked out of the front room, as well as a few supporting waiters. Chen Rui frowned suddenly, not because there were two B-level talents among these guests.
People, but because of murderous intent.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, and all the nearby lights were extinguished. For a moment, shouts, exclamations, piercing sounds, and whistling sounds all rang out. (To be continued...)
