Looking at the playful smile on Elisa's innocent-looking face, Chen Rui narrowed his eyes slightly. It seems that he still underestimated this girl. It turned out that the "familiar" feeling of deja vu was not from Ai Lisa. Lian, not Alice, but... Celine.
Now he can be considered to have touched a little bit of the edge of the Church of Light. This institution that governs almost all human beliefs is above the royal power. It is huge and extremely complicated, and the internal factional struggles are particularly fierce. Looking back, how could the cardinal's niece, the saint's disciple, be an innocent girl
Not everyone is like a little princess who has a sister who protects her everything; not every sister is like the queen who is willing to turn herself into an umbrella to completely cover the outside for her sister wind and rain (although this approach is debatable).
Chen Rui suddenly came to his senses. During the day, Elisa pointed out a series of his "origins" and "curiously" asked about the story of the words of the soul. It turned out that the real intention was to find out about him.
It is not difficult to kill Elisa or Paul, but this is the human world, a world full of mystery and unknowns. The Emperor White Night once hated him, especially now that saving Isabella is his top priority. You must not act rashly until you have collected all the Faith Crystals and obtained the Sheda Lai Flower. Elisa is an important figure in the Church of Light, and the God-eating mask, which is a dark power control technique, will definitely not work. But for Chen Rui, Elisa is just a small character like a passer-by. What really needs "intersection" is Paul.
Paul walked all the way and returned to his room, feeling really depressed. Elisa was actually right. He pursued Joanna because he was interested in the Philip family behind him, but there are also some reasons for Joanna. long thought. After finally using Joanna's father to provoke Samuel into a fight, she defeated her rival in love, but Joanna is still infatuated with Samuel, and she is true to him, the winner. This time when she went to Garden City, she unexpectedly It was to elope with Samuel! Eliza was right that no matter the outcome of the second duel, he was 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 alternate Bright Knight "Richard".
"Li Cha? It's so late, what's the matter?"
"Li Cha" showed a hesitant expression, and seemed to muster up the courage to say: "Master Paul, I have an important matter to report, can you let me go in and talk?"
Paul nodded and walked into the house. Chen Rui looked around and closed the door cautiously before he walked over and bowed: "Master Paul, this matter... I have hesitated for a long time, and I still decided to report to you."
"you say."
Chen Rui gritted his teeth and said, "After being separated from the adults in the World of Warcraft market this afternoon, I took Miss Elisa and Joanna to the commercial district, but...Miss Eliza ordered me to take another road, on that road , Miss Joanna met with a mysterious man, and the two seemed to have talked for a long time. Judging from Miss Elisa's warning to me, it seems that this man has an extraordinary 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. He only felt that his eyes were sharp. In terms of figure... he was shorter than an adult, and seemed a little thin."
"Hmph!" A haze flashed across Paul's eyes. If "Richard"'s informant had come 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 without a doubt.
"Li Cha, didn't you say Miss Elisa warned you? Why did you come here to tell me the news?"
Chen Rui took a deep breath: "My lord, do you still remember what happened during the day? Miss Elisa wanted to recommend me to go to the Bright Knight Branch of Yangshan King's Capital to study with Lord Luman, the leader of the Bright Knight, but I refused. My The answer is, I don’t want to be a priest for life, but a follower of a temple knight, and then take back what belongs to me with my own hands.”
Paul looked directly at Chen Rui, and said lightly, "I'm not a Templar Knight."
"Although not now, but it will be soon! I believe in the potential of adults, and I also believe in my own vision." Chen Rui raised his head and looked at Paul, "For this reason, I will risk everything and risk offending The risk of Miss Elisa or being silenced came here... Now I boldly ask my lord, have I misjudged the person?"
Paul saw the strong confidence in Chen Rui's eyes. This kind of confidence made him feel more comfortable than any flattery. The depression in his heart was also diluted a lot, and he nodded slowly: "You are right, Richard, This time, you made the right bet. You have the foresight, the courage, and the courage to go all out in the duel field, but it is not easy to become my follower, especially because your origin is unknown... "
"To tell you the truth, my lord, I came from a big family in a kingdom. I once swore a solemn oath that I was just an ordinary wanderer until I took back what belonged to me. The only thing I can tell you is that my family not only With power and considerable financial resources, when I ran away from the family, I was prepared just in case... "
As Chen Rui said, he took out a bag and offered it with both hands: "Here is a bag of water sapphires, the total value of which is about 50,000 black crystal coins, as a gift from me to adults. If I can control the family in the future, then as adults As a follower, I will receive the protection and support of the adults, and I will continuously provide the adults with all the resources within my ability, this is a win-win relationship."
Paul took the bag and opened it to see that there were more than a dozen pure blue gemstones inside, worth more than 50,000 black crystal coins. It was indeed a fortune, and this Richard really had an extraordinary background.
Paul put away the gems unceremoniously: "Very well, Richard, this may not be your real name, let's just call you that. I respect your oath, and I will not ask your real origin now, until I become I hope our win-win relationship can last forever while the Knights of the Templar help you take it all back."
This sentence has already explained Paul's attitude. "Richard" is capable, courageous, good at seizing opportunities, and has financial resources. The mutually beneficial relationship of each taking what he needs is also reasonable. The real fool is to rush out the door.
Chen Rui showed great joy, bowed deeply, and told Paul about the contract he signed with Mana, and asked to sign a master-slave contract with Paul after the contract ended. This confession made Paul finally dispel the last trace of doubt. After Chen Rui vowed to swear allegiance to the God of Light, he encouraged him a few words, but he didn't know that this whistleblowing was actually second-hand information deliberately leaked. The supreme god of light who came to swear was "gnawed" by the attendant as a tonic an hour ago.
"My lord, Miss Joanna's side..."
"Don't make it public that you have become my follower, Joanna, keep watching, don't make any extra moves, and report to me in time if you have anything." Paul thought for a while, "Also, be careful Lisa, she's far more difficult than you make it out to be."
"Miss Elisa?" Chen Rui deliberately looked very surprised, then nodded, "Understood, my lord, I won't disturb your lord's rest, so I will take my leave."
Early the next morning, Joanna proposed to leave Garton City and return to Longhuang Empire, her attitude was very firm. Judging from the expressions of Joanna and Paul, they seemed to have had a big fight.
Elisa's persuasion was ineffective, and Joanna insisted not to let Paul escort her, so she had to let two knights of light protect Joanna to go south to Vegas Town, and go to Chilong City of the Dragon Empire by water. Chilong City is a port city. Steven. Philip is Joanna's uncle.
Chen Rui didn't know if Joanna and Samuel had made a plan to leave early. No matter what, it was a good thing that Joanna could leave Eliza, a scheming "friend".
For a while, Paul became the most embarrassing person. He was not in the mood to hang out with Chen Rui and Elisa, and locked himself in the room to sulk.
Elisa was a little sad about the departure of her friend before, but she quickly devoted herself to the fun of shopping, and sometimes asked Chen Rui some strange questions on a whim. Chen Rui already knew the girl's identity. To be honest, those questions were mostly side-by-side temptations, and it was obvious that Elisa had some interest (or suspicion) in him as an alternate knight.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Elisa bought a lot of things, most of which were paid by Chen Rui, so of course they will be reimbursed when they go back.
There are countless believers in the Guangming Church, and the wealth naturally flows continuously. There is a saying in Chen Rui's hometown, three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver. Even in a small place like Gudan Town, Fatty Mana can become a wealthy man, let alone Soranton, who has been in Garden City for many years. What's more, this trip was inspected by the superiors (actually, it was a tour), and all the expenses were spent in public funds, so there was no need to pay for it personally.
In the evening, Elisa, Sorenton, Mana and others went to Fragrance Manor in the south of the city. Tonight, the fat city lord Kraut invited Eliza, the church and others. Means to apologize.
Chen Rui was also invited, only Paul, who was in a bad mood, did not go.
The fat city lord took Lord Wally and others, and personally welcomed Elisa and others into the manor at the gate.
Piaoxiang Manor is several famous consumer places in Garton City. It covers a large area. One of the partners behind it is actually the Fatty City Lord. The business is quite prosperous. Private rooms often need to be reserved. Quite a portion.
Just when the group of people walked to a corridor, a group of drunken guests came out of the front room, accompanied by a few waiters. Chen Rui frowned suddenly, not because there were two people with B-level strength among these few guests, but because of murderous intent.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, and the nearby lights were all extinguished. For a while, shouts, exclamations, piercing the air, and whistling sounded together.
