Chen Rui knelt down and touched Fengbao's head. Fengbao turned over, exposing the vitals of his abdomen, and let out a submissive moan, which didn't have the slightest bit of fierceness.
The shock in Mana's heart was simply indescribable. As the owner of the wind leopard, even with the power of the contract of enslavement, he could only barely control this monster, instead of the current complete surrender - this level of power. The beast control technique can only be described as "miraculous". Compared with it, those so-called beast control masters are nothing but scum!
The facts are before our eyes, "Li Cha" did not lie, he really obtained the lion's and scorpion's eggs with his own strength!
Mana recovered from the shock, and looked at Chen Rui with completely different eyes. If we say that he was arrogant when we first met, kind after seeing the lion and scorpion eggs, and secretly happy after getting the red magic gem, then it is now fanaticism.
"Your Excellency Richard, your ability is really astonishing." Mana's face was already full of smiles, even his triangular eyes were squeezed by fat, and there was a strong splendor in his small eyes, as if seeing What a rare treasure.
"It's just a talent combined with a little secret technique, and it's not in the eyes of an expert like Lord Mana." Chen Rui shook his head modestly, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what the Lord said earlier, some kind of channel for the candidate for the Knight of Light... "
"To tell you the truth, with my current status, I really can't directly recommend you as a candidate for the Light Knight, but with my connections, it's not impossible to get a candidate..." The fat priest didn't continue, and asked Chin down, the smile became meaningful.
Chen Rui knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the help between friends is mutual. If your lord has something that can be of use to me, I will not refuse it. It's best... we can form a mutual benefit relationship." A solid relationship of reciprocity, advances and retreats.”
"It's easy to talk to smart people!" Pastor Mana showed an unconcealable joy, "Our goals are quite related, and we will benefit from cooperation. If you don't mind... Richard, please allow me to call you that."
"Of course, my friend, Mana." Chen Rui glanced at Lucio, who immediately understood and found an excuse to leave the main hall.
Pastor Mana appreciated Chen Rui's knowledge and interest, and said, "Li Cha, to tell you the truth, I have been paying attention to the position of the Bishop of Wangdu for a long time, and I have opened up some joints. An opportunity to serve as a priest in a prosperous city. According to the usual practice, after the selection of temple knights in Baiya, positions in various places will be adjusted accordingly. This is a rare opportunity that must be seized. Cardinal Baiya Lord Bishop Rogge will come to Yangshao King for inspection in the near future. This Lord has a niece named Elisa who loves her very much on weekdays, like her own daughter, and will always take her with her when she travels. Miss Elisa is a light department A magician, and also a beast master, likes to collect strange beasts the most. I offer a reward for lion and scorpion eggs just to cater to this lady's preferences. As long as Lord Rogge nods and the adult behind me pushes, I will be able to become the bishop of the royal capital without any suspense. Even if I am the archbishop of the royal capital...it is not impossible after I have enough qualifications in the future."
Only then did Chen Rui understand the real reason why Mana wanted to obtain the lion and scorpion eggs. It seemed that the foreshadowing of the previous "beast control talent" was right, and that Cardinal Rogge from Baiya even attracted his attention. , perhaps, this is an opportunity to mix into Baiya.
"Lord Rogge is one of the three cardinals of the church. He has a high position and authority. It is definitely not a problem to directly appoint you as a candidate for the position of the Knight of Light. For you who just want to use the power of the church to control the family rather than become a lifelong priest. In other words, the real role of the alternate Light Knights is to have the opportunity to become a follower of the Temple Knights, as long as you can take this opportunity to attach to a Temple Knight, then I can say with certainty that your goal will be realized just around the corner!"
"Followers of the Temple Knights?" Chen Rui's mind was spinning, "Is the selection of the Temple Knights this time a good opportunity?"
"Of course!" Mana nodded and said, "Miss Elisa is not only the niece of Lord Rogge, but also the direct disciple of the Holy Maiden. There are quite a lot of people in the church. As long as you can catch up with Miss Eliza This line, then you can ask her to introduce a very promising contestant to you, then you have taken a shortcut again."
saint? Cardinal
Chen Rui heard from Lucio that the positions in the Church of the Bright Side, from high to low, are the pope, patriarch, three cardinals, archbishop, bishop, priest, deacon, ordinary monks or nuns.
The current glorious Pope Vandis is crowned as the leader with the highest status in the human world, not one of them.
Whether it is the monarchs of the two great empires or other empires and kingdoms, they can only bow their noble heads in front of the pope. For countless years, there have been countless empires and kingdoms, but the Temple of Light has always stood firm. The power of the church has penetrated into every class and every corner of every country. It can be said to be deeply rooted and unshakable.
There are two patriarchs next to the Pope, one is Pusmir who is proficient in astrology, and the other is Saint Eudora, who enjoy special power and status.
Cardinals are directly appointed by the Pope. There are three of them in total, but besides the three major cardinals, there are two other people who have the same status as cardinals.
The Tribunal is one of the two major armed forces of the Illuminati Church. It is directly responsible to the Pope. It is mainly composed of ascetics with strong combat effectiveness. Its duty is to sanction heresy and eliminate the forces of darkness.
Another armed force is the Knights of Light. The Knights of Light are responsible for defending the faith and guarding the light. There are branches of the Knights of Light in the capitals of all countries, which are not restricted by national laws. The highest level of the shining knights is the holy knights belonging to the holy mountain, followed by the temple knights stationed in the holy mountain or in charge of branches in various countries, and the next is the ordinary light knights.
The same is the archbishop, the archbishop of Zhili Holy Mountain has a higher status than the ordinary archbishop who is in charge of the religious affairs of various countries. The candidates for the archbishop are selected from the bishops, and the bishops are selected from the priests, one level corresponds to one level.
Chen Rui's current goal is the low-level "alternate light knight". Of course, even a low-level priest can represent the great power of the temple in a sense. What's more, the fat priest also proposed to attach to the temple knight. For the identity of "Li Cha", it is indeed a feasible path.
The holy mountain has been closed... the cardinal's niece... the candidates for the temple knights... the selection contest for the temple knights... these keywords were spinning in Chen Rui's mind, and for a while, several possible plans emerged alternately. There is only one, mixed into the holy mountain!
Chen Rui thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "Okay! In order to prove the sincerity of both parties, I think it is necessary for us to sign a related contract."
"No problem!" Mana was overjoyed. This suggestion made Fatty completely relieved. His "contract" with Fengbao is actually a mark of slavery, not a real contract. If it is really necessary, you can also ask Yu Beast masters use special methods to eliminate them.
So, under the power of Chen Rui's "link", the two signed an equal contract. The content of the contract is that the two parties maintain a mutually beneficial relationship until the mutual goals are achieved. After the contract came into effect, the fat man had a higher opinion of this companion who could exert the power of the contract, and secretly thought how to make full use of this Li Cha within the rules allowed by the contract to maximize his own interests. You can also sacrifice the opponent. It's just that Fatty doesn't know that this seemingly unbreakable contract can be voided at any time for Chen Rui, and Chen Rui is also designing him.
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, but they each had their own ulterior motives.
At this time, a monk rushed to report: "Master Mana, it's not good, people from the Holy Feather Mercenary Group flooded into the church, captured Lucio, and threatened to take this guest away with him , Deacon Martil is confronting them, and sent me to report to the Lord immediately."
If this incident happened half an hour ago, Mana wouldn't care about such nosy business at all, but now, things have changed drastically, so the fat man immediately showed anger: "Damn mercenary group, how dare you Arresting people in the church, and they are my guests! I can't bear it! Go! Take a look!"
With a thought, Chen Rui clutched his temples, showing signs of exhaustion: "Mana, I used up a lot of mental power when I got that thing before, and I used the power of the contract just now, and now I have to rest for a while, otherwise the mental power will be exhausted. It will be damaged due to overdraft. Lucio... is actually my new follower, and I will leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, my friend! This little matter is on my shoulders!" The fat man patted his chest to make a promise, and then said with concern: "You go to the hall to reply now, and you must take care of yourself."
Chen Rui is Fatty's collaborator now, and he is also a key figure in his connection with Cardinal Rogge. Naturally, he can't suffer any damage, especially the spiritual power related to the beast control technique, otherwise it will be too late to regret if it affects that plan up.
"Zola, help my friend to rest in the hall now."
The monk was about to step forward, Chen Rui shook his head: "It's okay, I can go by myself, but please don't bother me for now."
"That's good! Zola, convey my order immediately, no one is allowed to approach the hall!" Fatty ordered, and walked towards the corridor with Fengbao.
Zola, the monk, heard the close relationship between Chen Rui and the priest from the names of the two people. He didn't dare to neglect at the moment. After Chen Rui entered the hall, he closed the door for him, and he guarded the corridor outside the door. , so as not to disturb.
After Chen Rui entered the main hall, his fatigue disappeared immediately. He stared at the statue of the God of Light in front of him with a faint power of faith, showing a contemplative look. After a while, the breath on his body continued to undergo subtle changes, as if he was trying to in various ways.
Suddenly, Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and with a thought, there was an extra figure in front of him. This person's appearance was the same as Chen Rui's, except that his pupils were slightly blood-colored.
