Elisa, seventeen years old, the most beloved niece of Rogge, one of the three cardinals, is also a disciple of the Holy Lady of the Holy Mountain of Light, and has a very special status in the Church of Light.
Completely different from the imaginary sacred and solemn temperament, Elisa has a pair of clear and big eyes, which give people the first impression of being cute. The blue curly hair, exquisite facial features and the short skirt she wears make her look more beautiful than she actually is. Even younger, she is a naive and lively little girl.
Along with Elisa, besides the six guarding knights of light, there was also a man and a woman.
The woman is Elisa's good friend, Joanna, the eldest daughter of the Philip family of the Longhuang Empire. She is slender and slightly inferior in appearance to Elisa, but she has a charming and pitiful temperament.
However, Chen Rui knew that under this young lady's weak appearance was a persistent and strong heart. Miss Joanna is the woman who fell in love with Samuel. The real purpose of accompanying her friend to Garden City this time is to elope with Samuel.
The man was tall and tall, with short silver hair and a handsome appearance. There was a hint of arrogance in his brows. He was wearing a set of bright silver half body armor and a valuable gold silk cloak behind him, which looked very dazzling. The earth before crossing was definitely a "tall, rich and handsome".
Gao Fushuai's name caught Chen Rui's attention, Paul. Loman.
Joanna's fiancé, Samuel's rival in love, once defeated Samuel in a contest hosted by the Temple of Light in front of Emperor Rex of the Longhuang Empire, thus won the appreciation of Joanna's father and became Joanna's fiancé .
In terms of appearance, Paul is indeed above Samuel, with a personable manner and extraordinary conversation. He is especially considerate to Joanna, but Joanna's reaction is very cold.
She and Samuel have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they have a deep relationship. The Camplot family is the number one business family, and its power and financial resources are still higher than that of the Philip family. The family still supports the relationship between the two. However, since the disappearance of the third prince Arthur, the Camplot family where Samuel belongs has been suppressed and excluded by the second prince Garfield, and has gradually lost the trust of Emperor Rex.
At this time, Paul of the Loman family launched a fierce pursuit of her. Paul is the disciple of the holy knight Drestan of the Holy Mountain of Light. Considering the loss of power of the Camplot family and the fact that Joanna's father Longzes wanted to use Paul to climb the tree of the church to further stabilize the family power, he forced his daughter to marry Paul.
Joanna resisted, so Longzes had to change his strategy and found Samuel. Excited, Samuel agreed to compete with Paul, but failed miserably. After leaving a letter to Joanna, he left sadly.
Samuel has been missing for several years. Joanna couldn't find her. Under the pressure of her family, she got engaged to Paul. After she recently learned that her lover had returned from the devil world, she was ecstatic. This time, I came here to meet Samuel under the guise of Eliza, just to leave everything behind and leave with him. Unexpectedly, Paul also followed. Joanna was quite depressed, as if she was about to drink a bowl of delicious soup , but found a dead fly inside, how could it give Paul a good face.
The arrival of Elisa was the most important event for Sorendon. He waited outside the city with Mana and others early in the morning, and received Eliza's carriage.
"Miss Elisa, it's been a hard journey. Please go to the Temple of Light to rest for a while. I've already booked a banquet at the most famous gourmet manor in the city. I'd like to ask you to go there then."
"Master Sorenton, thank you for your interruption this time." Eliza showed a bright smile on her face, without the slightest arrogance, giving people the feeling of being easy to get close to.
Sorandon didn't dare to neglect, and welcomed Elisa and her party into the Palace of Light. Before the stools were warmed up, someone came to report: "Master Kraut and Lord Wally learned that Eliza The lady has arrived, and I am here to pay you a visit."
Soranton frowned slightly—because of the miraculous performance of "Richard", he resolutely made a decision to directly designate him as the only candidate recommended by the Church of Garden City for the Bright Knight. However, in this way, there were originally three candidates, including "relationship households" such as the city lord and the lord, who were excluded.
The main reason is that this time, through Eliza's connection with Cardinal Rogge, Sorendon's faction will benefit from the major personnel changes in the church a few months later. No matter how capable "Li Cha" is, he can't compete with those rich second-generation officials.
This time Elisa's visit to Garton City was insider information, and Sorendon did not disturb the city lord Kraut or anyone else. Unexpectedly, Kraut's eyes and ears were so good, and he came here to visit Elisa immediately.
"Is the Lord of Garton City?" Elisa was taken aback when she heard the words, "Uncle Rogge once said that the development and growth of a church in a city cannot be separated from the support and approval of various local forces, especially those who control the political power. , it seems that Lord Sorenton has a pretty good relationship with the city lord."
Soranton quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Miss, I'm too proud. I always keep the teachings of Mr. Rogge in mind, but I haven't done it well enough."
Eliza smiled sweetly: "Lord Sorendon, don't be modest, let's go to meet this city lord together."
Soon, there were a few more guests in the hall. The lord of Garton City, Kraut, was a fat man with a red face, and his figure was somewhat similar to that of Mana. Lord Wally was a middle-aged man in his forties. , wearing the most popular costumes of nobles, with a thin figure and a pale face that was washed away by wine.
"Miss Elisa, I am coming to Garton City today. Please allow me to extend my warmest welcome to you on behalf of this city." The fat city lord's face was full of kindness and kindness, and he couldn't see the usual coldness in front of the common people. and fierce.
"Your Majesty is too polite," Elisa performed a church etiquette, "I... I was going to the capital of Yangshao Kingdom with my uncle this time. I heard that Garton City has the largest Warcraft trading market in the Kingdom of Yangshao. So I begged my uncle to agree to come here to open my eyes, and if there is something disturbing, please forgive me, Lord City Lord."
Elisa's tone of voice was as sweet and pleasant as her appearance, like a little sister next door. The Lord Wally who was watching from the side had a strange light in his eyes. He likes to play with girls of this age the most, especially those who are still young. It has such a lovely and pure temperament...
It’s just that Wall-E is self-aware, Elisa is definitely not something he can get his hands on, let alone she is a disciple under the crown of the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light, the cardinal’s uncle alone is not something the little Lord of the Kingdom can provoke host.
The fat city lord laughed and took out a small box: "Here is a small gift. It's not a respect when we meet for the first time. Please don't dislike me, miss."
"Thank you, Lord City Master." Elisa looked at the small box curiously: "Can you open it and have a look? Oh, yes, it seems impolite..."
"It's okay! I'm just going to explain its use to Miss!"
Elisa opened the box and saw that there was a delicate little sign inside.
"Garden City happens to be holding a Warcraft trade fair these days. This is the highest-level VIP badge representing the city lord. With it, Miss can participate in trade fairs of any level, and she can choose three fancy things to take away at will, and ... With it, I believe there will be no guy without eyes who dares to provoke the young lady."
Eliza's big eyes lit up: "Great, this gift is really... Thank you, Lord Santo!"
"Miss, you are welcome." Seeing Elisa's happy look, the fat city lord secretly plotted: "By the way, let me introduce, this is Lord Wally, this is my cousin Omi, and this is Lord Wally's son." Nephew Mate, these two young talents are candidates for Garton City's alternate Bright Knights."
Sorenton's face suddenly sank. He had introduced "Richard" in front of Elisa before as the only candidate recommended by the Garton City Church as a candidate for the Light Knight. In the face of the lady, Omi and Mette were deliberately mentioned, and they were still candidates. This was clearly a slap in the face of Sorendon.
Lord Wally stood up and said, "It is my great honor to meet the beautiful Miss Elisa. Originally, I also prepared some small meeting gifts, but I didn't realize until I saw the lady that the moving brilliance of the lady Underneath, those presents all look dull, only this priceless red ring can barely match Miss's peerless appearance."
"What a beautiful ring!" Eliza stared at the ring inlaid with the red magic diamond, then suddenly shook her head: "No, I can't accept such an expensive gift, uncle will blame me. "
"It's just a symbol of friendship, it has nothing to do with its own value," Lord Wali showed a smug smile, "I know that the lady is of noble birth, if I don't like the friendship of my little kingdom Lord, I have no choice but to destroy it sadly .”
This sentence directly "sublimated" to the height of friendship and position. Eliza couldn't stand the big hat and persuasion, and finally accepted the ring. Lord Wally took the opportunity to add another sentence to ask Elisa to take care of Mette and Omi in the future, which finally made Elisa realize and asked: "By the way, Lord Sorenton, why is the alternate of Garton City bright?" There are so many knight candidates? Isn’t there only one place?”
Sorendon glared at Kraut and Lord Wally fiercely, and forced a smile at Eliza: "This...Miss Eliza doesn't know, there were four original candidates, except Richard, Omi and In addition to Meite, there is also Rodan, the disciple of Tenishi, the captain of the Bright Knights in Garton City. These four are all excellent, and it can be said that it is a painful thing to choose. After careful inspection and screening, I finally decided on Gudan Town The recommended candidate is Li Cha."
Elisa nodded, and took another look at Chen Rui: "Oh, so that's the case."
"As far as I know, the so-called screening and inspection are only decided by Pastor Sorendon from the beginning to the end...or it is called manipulation, and I don't know what ulterior secrets are in it." The fat city lord sneered , Turning a blind eye to Sorendon's sharp gaze.
Eliza showed a look of surprise, her gaze passed Sorendon, and then she fell on Tenishi next to her: "Captain Tenishu, is that so?"
Soranton felt relieved, he had already persuaded Tenishiu to give up his quota a few days ago, and he also promised many benefits.
To Soranton's shock and anger, Tenishi, the captain of the Bright Knights in Garton City, nodded his head: "Your Majesty is right!"
Chen Rui, who had been watching coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, smelling a hint of conspiracy.
