After Chen Rui left the room, Elisa said: "This is a good follower, but, did you say that a little too early? Do you think you can 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 the leader of the paladins. It stands to reason that you should be quite promising. But there is an old saying that things are impermanent."
"What the hell do you mean?" Paul frowned.
"Baiya is a place that pays attention to rules everywhere," Elisa stood up, "Although absolute strength can override everything, your strength is not enough to override certain rules, even if your Teacher Passari also has rules that cannot be crossed. With your wisdom, I don’t need to say more.”
Paul's face sank: "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just telling you the truth." Eliza looked straight at Paul without fear, "If you want to choose the path of Master Passari, it's obviously not feasible, you must think about your own position, Otherwise, you will be eliminated by the rules sooner or later.”
As she said that, Eliza smiled again: "What I said last time... how do you think about it? Although you look conceited on the surface, I know you are a smart person. If you don't say anything, You must have thought carefully in your heart—don’t doubt my judgment, the sensory talent I have is not a lie to Li Cha. I am very aware of your hesitation, there is no third person here, so I will just make it clear. The Luoman family is only a middle-level family. You are worshiping under Master Passari, firstly because of opportunities and learning, secondly because you want to use the influence of the Holy Mountain to expand the strength of the family, and the biggest purpose of pursuing Joanna is also the same Right. She is the eldest daughter of the family, and she has no younger brother. As long as the means are right, the entire Philip family will become a puppet under your control in the future. With the help of the Holy Mountain, it is not impossible for the Luoman family to become the number one family of the Longhuang Empire .”
Paul raised his brows, only to hear Eliza's tone change: "But, have you ever thought that even if your ideal is successfully realized, it is still just a pawn in the hands of the emperor, and your involvement with the Holy Mountain will cause more troubles?" Suspicion, maybe one day, all the hard work you have managed will be wiped out because of a thought of the emperor! You should put away 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 of the Longhuang Empire, and there are too many big players in the church 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, you have the dark hand of the king behind you; but in the eyes of Emperor Rex, you are a member of the church, and you will only be at odds with each other. If you are just an inconspicuous pawn Forget it, but you are a person with great ambitions. This dangerous situation will become more and more obvious as you and the Loman family grow stronger step by step—you should have received the news, Emperor Rex this time I will personally host the second duel between you and Samuel, I believe this is enough to explain something."
Beads of sweat appeared faintly on Paul's forehead. He had always calculated himself, but the authorities were obsessed, and Eliza's words were like a blow to the head. There were indeed some things that he hadn't thought about carefully before.
"It's not too late to wake up now," Elisa saw through Paul's mind, "Of course, you can give up the church and place your bets on choosing the Dragon Empire, but what I want to remind you is that with that Lake Emperor Si Dadi's scheming is very likely to be self-defeating, and even if he chooses to trust you, will you still have original value in the eyes of other people without the most important background of the holy mountain? I make a bold prediction, I'm afraid Even the Philip family's first reaction was to break off the engagement..."
Paul took a deep breath: "Are you trying to say that now that the selection of the Templar Knights is coming up, I must make a decision before then?"
"It seems that you have made a decision," Eliza smiled, "Although there are many branches in the distribution of Baiya's factions, the three main factions play a dominant role. His Holiness the Pope representing the Archangel It is the head of the three lines, followed by the two patriarchs, His Majesty Pusmir and my teacher Eudora. There are many talents in the Pope's first line. They are the two masterminds, and the internal competition is very fierce. The other cardinal, Birmingham, belongs to the Clan of Pushmere. Both Sorendon and the dead Mana belong to this faction, and their influence has expanded rapidly in recent years. The last one Cardinal Gralin belongs to the Saintess faction. Compared with other factions, the Saintess faction is much more low-key... Finally, I have to mention your teacher Passari, Master Passari is a true holy knight who abides by the Loyal to the light, guarding the creed of justice, he is famous for being fair and strict, but because he is too obsessed with the creed and does not know how to adapt, he has offended almost everyone in every department, so the situation is not easy. With your intelligence , you should know which one is the most suitable.”
Paul thought for a long time, and sighed: "Although the Saintess faction is the most low-key and the 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, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be taken seriously, and maybe they will never take the lead, so I don't have many choices."
"It's easy to talk to a smart person." Eliza's expression changed, and she became serious. "Then let me ask one last question, have you really made up your mind?"
Paul nodded slowly with a determined expression on his face.
"Great, I believe Her Majesty the Holy Maiden will be very happy to see such a potential talent join. Let me remind you a little, don't look at the low-key attitude of the Holy Maiden, the Rafael behind us Your lord, isn’t he a wise angel willing to be lonely?”
Paul is not an idiot, he will not ask Elisa as Rogge's niece why she still wants to join the line of saints and other silly questions. In fact, he also knew in his heart that the reason why Elisa valued him so much had something to do with her status as the "priest disciple of the Holy Knight". It is very likely that the Holy Maiden had the intention to win over Passari and the Radiant Knight. , at least it can show a related signal to the outside world, and it may also be related to a long-term plan of the wise angel under the seat of the God of Light behind the saint.
Eliza's previous analysis hit the key, making him see something farther away. In any case, the Saintess line is indeed the most suitable faction for him and the Loman family.
Paul finally made up his mind and bowed to Elisa: "Then, please take care of me from now on."
Eliza is the direct disciple of the Holy Maiden, since he is determined to serve the Holy Maiden, he must establish a good relationship with Elisa.
"Why are you being so polite? Our relationship will be quite close in the future, but we can't be so estranged," Eliza smiled like a flower. "But before that, you must prove your determination with actions."
"action?"
"Since 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 approached Paul's ear with a smile, and said in a low voice, "If I want you to take action...to kill Joanna, how can I really prove my determination?"
Paul was taken aback. He didn't expect that Eliza would put forward such a condition, asking him to kill his fiancée and her best friend with his own hands. Seeing the innocent and lovely smile on this girl's face, Paul couldn't help but feel... There was a chill.
"If you have to use this incident to prove yourself, then, I..." Paul's breathing was a little short, his eyes were intertwined with complex expressions, and he seemed to be struggling in his heart, and finally he gritted his teeth: "I... I will get rid of Joe with my own hands. Anna!"
"Haha!" Eliza laughed coquettishly, and the laughter was full of other meanings. After a while, the laughter gradually died down, "Actually, this is just a joke. But, your performance made me I am very satisfied, you have passed my test, after returning to the capital of Yangshan, I will return to Baiya as soon as possible, and report this matter to the Holy Maiden, with the support of the Holy Maiden, plus your own strength , Becoming a Temple Knight is already guaranteed. At that time, you can use your identity as a Temple Knight to gradually expand the strength of your family in the Longhuang Empire, and even the Great Emperor Rex will be afraid."
Paul secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he pursued Joanna was utilitarian, but he has always been obsessed with Joanna's beauty. It was actually very difficult to make this decision just now, but for the future and future Ambition, don't say that Joanna likes someone else, even if she really likes him, she doesn't care so much.
"After you return to the capital of Yangshan this time, don't make too much noise on the family side for the time being. After handling the necessary affairs, leave for Baiya as soon as possible. Remember to bring your loyal follower. I respect him. I'm a little interested in the talent of the language of the soul... As for the duel, don't worry, because if there are no accidents, your opponent should not appear."
Paul was startled: "Why?"
"Because Joanna has already 'eloped' with him, which will severely set back the Camplote and Philippe families, and it will also be of great benefit to your future development plans."
Seeing the suspicious look on Paul's face, Elisa sat down again and stretched herself on the sofa, "It's okay to tell you, Joanna's leaving early was actually my idea for her, but, I asked the Bright Knight to escort her 'back' not to the Red Dragon City of the Longhuang Empire, but to the Storm Island. The port here is not very far from the Storm Island. According to the schedule, it should reach that sea area soon... "
"What? The Island of Storms!" Paul was taken aback. The Island of Storms is located in the dangerous sea area south of Garton City. It is one of the most dangerous places in the surface world, and there are countless crises in it. Just the existence of the Titans , can make the real holy level powerhouse flinch.
Also surprised was Chen Rui, who was stealthily eavesdropping. He was also there when Joanna left. He never expected such a thing to happen. Chen Rui murdered a big student.
