After Chen Rui left the room, Elisa spoke: "This is a good follower, but was it too early for you to say what you just said? Do you think you will definitely be able to become a temple knight?"
Seeing the confidence in Paul's smile, Elisa shook her head slightly: "Your strength has reached the holy level, and your teacher is a paladin captain. Logically speaking, you should be quite promising. But as the old saying goes, nothing is permanent."
"What on earth do you mean?" Paul frowned.
"White Cliff is a place where rules are followed everywhere," Eliza stood up, "Although absolute strength can override everything, your strength is not enough to override some rules, even if it is your
Teacher Pasali also has rules that cannot be crossed. With your wisdom, I shouldn’t need to say more."
Paul's face darkened: "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just telling you the truth," Elisa looked directly at Paul without fear, "If you want to choose the path of Mr. Passari, it obviously won't work. You must think about your position.
Otherwise you will be eliminated by the rules sooner or later."
Then, Elisa smiled again: "What I said last time...how have you considered it? Although you seem conceited on the surface, I know you are a smart person, and you don't say anything.
You must have thought carefully in your heart - don't doubt my judgment. The sensing talent I possess is not a lie to Richard. I know very well the hesitation in your heart. There is no third person here, so I'll just make it clear.
The Luoman family is just a middle-level family. You became a disciple of Mr. Passari. Firstly, it is for opportunities and learning. Secondly, you want to use the influence of the Holy Mountain to expand the strength of the family. The biggest purpose of pursuing Joanna is also
So be it. She is the eldest daughter of the family, and she has no younger brothers. As long as you use the right methods, the entire Philip family will become puppets under your control in the future. With the help of the Holy Mountain, it is not impossible for the Luoman family to become the first family in the Longhuang Empire.
possible."
Paul raised his eyebrows and heard Eliza's tone change: "But, have you ever thought that even if your ideal is successfully realized, you are still just a pawn in the hands of the emperor, and your involvement with the Holy Mountain will also cause
Suspicion. Maybe one day, everything you have worked so hard for will be wiped out by an idea from the emperor! You should put away your half-heartedness and make the most correct choice."
Paul finally explained: "For me, there is no difference between choosing the Longhuang Empire and choosing the Church. At least there is only one king in the Longhuang Empire, while there are too many big figures in the Church's game. My chess piece is insignificant, so I
You can’t bet everything on the church.”
"Don't you understand? In the eyes of the church, there is the king's secret hand behind you; and in the eyes of Emperor Rex, you are a member of the church, and you will only be unhappy with both sides. If you are just an inconspicuous pawn, you will
That's all, you are a person with great ambitions. This dangerous situation will become more and more obvious as you and the Luoman family become stronger - you should have received the news. Emperor Rex is
I will personally host the second duel between you and Samuel this time, I believe this is enough to explain something."
There were beads of sweat on Paul's forehead. He had always made his own calculations, but the authorities were obsessed with it. Elisa's words were like a blow to the head. There were some things that he had never thought about carefully before.
"It's not too late to wake up now," Elisa saw through Paul's thoughts, "Of course, you can give up the church and bet on choosing the Longhuang Empire, but I want to remind you that with that Lake
Emperor Si's scheme is likely to be self-defeating, and even if he chooses to trust you, will you still have your original value in the eyes of others after losing the most important background of the Holy Mountain? I make a bold prediction, I'm afraid
Even the first reaction of the Philip family was to break off the engagement..."
Paul took a deep breath: "Are you trying to say that now that the selection of Temple Knights is imminent, I must make a decision before then?"
"It seems that you have made a decision," Eliza smiled: "Although there are many branches in the faction distribution of Baiya, the three main factions dominate. His Majesty the Pope, who represents the archangel.
He is the head of the three lines, followed by the two patriarchs, His Majesty Pusmir and my teacher, His Majesty Eudora. There are many talents in the pontifical line, including my uncle Cardinal Rogge and the presiding judge Seuss respectively.
They are the two masterminds, and the internal competition is very fierce. The other Cardinal Birmingham is from the line under the crown of Pushmere. Solanton and the dead Mana both belong to this faction. In recent years, their power has expanded rapidly. The last one
Cardinal Gralin belongs to the Saint Faction. Compared with other factions, the Saint Faction is much more low-key... Finally, I have to mention your teacher Pasari. Master Pasari is a true holy knight who abides by
With the creed of being loyal to the light and guarding justice, he is famous for his fairness and strictness. However, precisely because he is too persistent in his creed and does not know how to adapt, he has offended almost everyone in every department, so the situation is not easy. For you
Talent should know which line is most suitable."
Paul thought for a long time and sighed: "Although the Saintess faction is the most low-key and weakest among the three main factions, it is also one of the indispensable main factions. The Loman family does not have much background. If you choose
The other two factions, with their limited competitiveness, may find it difficult to be taken seriously and may never be able to take the lead, so I don’t have many choices.”
"It's easy to talk to smart people." Eliza's expression straightened and she became solemn, "Then let me ask you one last question, have you really made up your mind?"
Paul showed a determined expression and nodded slowly.
"Great, I believe His Majesty the Holy Maiden will be very happy to see such a potential talent join. I would like to remind you, don't look at the low profile of the Holy Maiden family. The Lord Raphael behind us,
Isn’t he a wise angel who is willing to be lonely?”
Paul is not an idiot and will not ask stupid questions like why Elisa, Rogge’s niece, wants to join the Saints. In fact, he also knows in his heart that the reason why Elisa values him so much is related to "
His identity as "Chief Disciple of the Holy Knight" is not unrelated. It is very likely that the Holy Lady has the intention to win over Passari and the Radiant Knight. At least it can show a relevant signal to the outside world, and it may also be related to the person behind the Holy Lady.
It is related to a certain long-term plan of the Cherubim under the God of Light.
Elisa's previous analysis hit the key point, allowing him to see something further. In any case, the saint's faction is indeed the most suitable faction for him and the Loman family.
Paul finally made up his mind and bowed to Eliza: "Then, please take care of me in the future."
Elisa is the direct disciple of the Saint. Since he is determined to serve the Saint, he must have a good relationship with Eliza.
"Why are you so polite? Our relationship will be very close in the future, but we can't be so accommodating," Elisa said with a smile. "But before that, you must prove your determination with actions."
"action?"
"Now that you have chosen the right path, do you want to change your original development plan in the Longhuang Empire? For example... a marriage with the Philip family?"
Paul frowned again: "You mean..."
Eliza smiled and leaned close to Paul's ear, whispering: "What if I want you to take action...kill Joanna to truly prove your determination?"
Paul was shocked. He didn't expect that Eliza would put forward such a condition and let him kill his fiancée, who was also her best friend. Looking at the innocent and lovely smile on this girl's face, Paul couldn't help but feel...
A chill came over.
"If you have to use this matter to prove yourself, then, I..." Paul's breathing was a little rapid, his eyes were intertwined with complicated expressions, and he seemed to be struggling in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth: "I... I will solve it myself.
Drop Joanna!”
"Haha!" Eliza laughed softly. The laughter was full of different meanings. After a while, the laughter gradually became smaller. "Actually, this is just a joke. However, your performance made me laugh.
I am very satisfied. You have passed my test. After returning to the capital of Yangshao King, I will return to Baiya as soon as possible and report this matter to Her Majesty the Holy Maiden. With the support of the Holy Maiden and your own strength
, becoming a Temple Knight is already a sure thing. By then, you can use your status as a Temple Knight to gradually expand your family's strength in the Longhuang Empire. Even Emperor Rex will be afraid of you."
Paul secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although utilitarianism played a large role in his pursuit of Joanna, he has always been obsessed with Joanna's beauty. It was actually a difficult decision to make just now, but for the sake of his future and future prospects, Paul was secretly relieved.
Ambition, not to mention that Joanna likes someone else, even if she really likes him, she doesn't care about so much.
"After you return to Yangshao King's capital this time, don't make too much noise in the family for the time being. After handling the necessary affairs, set off for Baiya as soon as possible. Remember to take your loyal follower with you. I will tell him
I’m a bit interested in the talent of the language of the soul... As for the duel, don’t worry, because if nothing else happens, your opponent probably won’t show up.”
Paul was startled: "Why?"
"Because Joanna has already 'eloped' with him, which will severely damage the Camplot family and the Philip family, and will also be of considerable benefit to your future development plans."
Seeing the doubt on Paul's face, Elisa sat down again and stretched out on the sofa, "It doesn't hurt to tell you. It was actually my idea for Joanna to leave early, but...
The place I asked the Knight of Light to escort her 'back' was not the Red Dragon City of the Longhuang Empire, but the Storm Island. The port here is not very far from the Storm Island. According to the itinerary, she should be reaching that sea area soon...
…”
"What? Storm Island!" Paul was shocked. Storm Island is located in the dangerous sea area south of Garden City. It is one of the most dangerous places in the surface world. It contains countless crises. Just the existence of the Titans.
, can scare away the true saint-level powerhouses.
Equally surprised was Chen Rui, who was eavesdropping invisibly. He was also present when Joanna left. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. This seemingly innocent girl's scheming and viciousness were far beyond expectations, which made
Chen Rui is full of murderous intent.
